Workshop Memorandum 17-015



                Date:          January 10, 2017

                From:          Joseph Zoba, General Manager

                Subject:       Overview of Rating Agency Redetermination of the Yucaipa Valley Water District
                               Related to the 2015A Refunding Revenue Bonds

               In 2015 the Yucaipa Valley Water District refinanced the 2004A Certificates of Participation used
               to finance the construction of the Yucaipa Valley Regional Water Filtration Facility.

               Every two  years, the District
               will   be   reevaluated    to
               determine if the credit rating
               should be changed to reflect
               current financial  conditions
               and external constraints.

               The latest reassessment of
               the District credit  rating has
               been held stable a AA- rating
               by Fitch Ratings.

               The purpose of  this agenda
               item is  to discuss the
               strengths, challenges, overall
               rating methodology and  to
               reinforce  the fundamental
               financial indicators of  the
               Yucaipa Valley Water District
               on behalf of our customers.

               By continuously  monitoring
               and strengthening  our core
               financial standing, the District
               will be able to obtain lower
               interest rates in the future and
               attract additional investments
               for    future   infrastructure
               improvements.
