REVIEWED BY: PHILIP R. LEIBER, DIRECTOR OF FINANCE AND ADMINISTRATION

SUBJECT: REVIEW APRIL 2020 FINANCIAL OVERVIEW AND INVESTMENT
REPORTS
Financial Highlights
Attached for review are the April 2020 Variance Analysis for the Running Expense (O&M Fund) and Sewer
Construction Fund (Attachment 1) along with Investment Reports for the O&M Fund, Sewer Construction,
and Self-I nsurance funds (Attachment 2).
The O&M Fund expenditure results are favorable at approximately 75.9% of the total FY 2019-20 budget,
or 7.0% under the year-to-date budget target of 82.9%. O&M Fund revenues are also slightly above the
year-to-date target by$661,548 (0.9%), primarily attributable to favorable results for sewer service
charges. The slightly favorable results for sewer service charges results mainly from higher flows (based
on calendar 2018 year consumption)from non-residential customers as well as development activity being
slightly higher than projected in the FY 2019-20 budget.
The Sewer Construction Fund has spent$40.7 million or 87.9% of the total year-to-date budget for capital
project expenditures. While under the 90% target, this is still relatively favorable news considering the
pace of capital projects has slowed following the "shelter in place" order originally issued by Contra Costa
County Health Services on March 16, 2020 currently in effect until May 31, 2020. To further put the year-
to-date capital expenditure rate into perspective, the current year capital project expenditures pace through
April (5/6 of the fiscal year) is 61.5% of the adopted budget, compared to the rate for this same 10-month
timeframe in the prior fiscal year at 65.3%. While staff still expects the pace of several capital projects to
accelerate in the remaining two months (May through June) of the fiscal year following the District's
expected "s-curve" trend for capital projects, the "shelter in place" order will inevitably cause some
disruption, the extent of which is not yet fully known. Most notably, construction for the following large
capital projects is expected to ramp up in the final months of the fiscal year: Solids Handling Facility
Improvements (District Project (DP) 7348), Mechanical and Concrete Renovations (DP 7351),
Moraga/Crossroads Pump Station (DP 8436), and Enterprise Resource Planning Replacement (DP
8250) capital projects. On the revenue side, the Sewer Construction Fund is reporting a positive year-to-
date variance of $2,382,771 (4.6%). This relatively large positive year-to-date revenue variance is
predominantly attributable to facilities capacity fees generated from the large, 200-apartment Avalon Bay
development project in Pleasant Hill and other smaller developments coming in higher than projected in

the FY 2019-20 budget.
Investment Portfolio Highlights
In accordance with Section 53646 of the Califomia Govemment Code, staff shall submit an investment
report to the General Manager and Board of Directors. While state law mandates this reporting shall be
done at least quarterly, Central San's Investment Policy further stipulates this reporting shall be conducted
on a monthly basis. Accordingly, attached is the investment portfolio report for the month of April 2020,
which will be reviewed with the Finance Committee on May 18, 2020.
The investments held by Central San on April 30, 2020 are shown by fund in the attached Investment
Portfolio Report. Pursuant to the Investment Policy and state law, the Investment Portfolio Report reports
the following: type of investment, issuer, date of maturity, par(or face) and dollar amount invested on all
securities, as well as the current market value as of the date of the report. The following table provides a
summary of the highlights included in the attached Investment Portfolio Report:
Fund Total Total Market Wgtd. Wgtd. FY 2019-20 FY 2019-20
Face Value Avg. Avg. Actual Int. Budgeted Int.
Value Yield Maturity Rev. (YTD) Rev. (YTD)
O&M $30.1 M $30,451,682 1.66% N/A $554,488 $791,660
Sewer $32.OM $32,373,882 1.66% N/A $895,395 $561,660
Construction
Self-Insurance $6.9M $6,980,618 1.66% N/A $124,199 $149,910
O&M Fund investment earnings are significantly under the year-to-date budget due to the significant
decline in market yields for fixed income held-to-maturity investments following the Board's approval of the
FY 2019-20 budget. During the preparation of the FY 2019-20 budget in March/April 2019, the Running
Expense Fund was yielding approximately 2.48%, whereas the Fund's yield in April 2020 was only 1.66%,
reflecting an enormous 82 basis point drop (33% retraction). As a ramification of this market situation, staff
projects FY 2019-20 investment income of the O&M Fund to fall short of the budget. Fortunately, positive
variances in other operational revenues of the Running Expense fund are expected to offset this revenue
reduction.
As of April 30, 2020, Central San's entire investment portfolio was held in the Local Agency Investment
Fund (LAI F) state pool at a book value of approximately$69 million,just under the maximum investment
threshold of $75 million. Central San was entirely invested in LAI F and under the maximum allowed cap
for two reasons. First, Central San was notified on March 13, 2020 that the Contra Costa County
Treasurer-Tax Collector(County)was discontinuing many investment services for Treasury Pool
participants as a result of staffing issues caused by the COVI D-19 pandemic. While transfers to and from
LAI F were still being processed, purchases and sales of securities were no longer being conducted by
the County. The County later notified Treasury Pool participants that investment activity was resuming on
April 20, 2020, shortly before monthly payroll and checks were being processed requiring additional
liquidity. The second reason for only being invested in LAI F as of April 30, 2020 is that the recent severe
financial market conditions caused by the COVI D-19 pandemic have resulted in increased investment risk
as well as substantial yield reductions in fixed income instruments authorized by Central San's investment
policy making LAI F an optimal (and diversified) investment option for the time being.
Overall, the portfolio is in compliance with the Board's adopted policy regarding Central San's investments
and as of April 30, 2020. The attached Investment Portfolio report also indicates Central San will meet
expenditure requirements for the next six months from a combination of maturing investments and
revenues from budgeted operations.
