  Honorable Board of Directors
  Monte Vista Irrigation Company

  SUBJECT: Fiscal Year Ending 2022 Budget

  STAFF RECOMMENDATION:

  It is recommended that the Board of Directors review and approve the proposed Fiscal Year Ending
  2022 Budget for the Monte Vista Irrigation Company.

  FINANCIAL IMPACT:

  The proposed Fiscal Year Ending 2022 Budget is projected to decrease working capital reserves by
  $68,800.

  DISCUSSION

  The proposed Fiscal Year Ending (FYE) 2022 Budget for the Monte Vista Irrigation Company
  (Company) is presented as a preliminary financial outline for anticipated transactions in the coming
  year. The proposed operating budget has been developed to be consistent with the Monte Vista Water
  District’s (District) water supply approach for the coming FYE 2022. One of the key components of the
  District’s adopted long-range supply plan is to annually “under-produce” a portion of its Chino Basin
  production rights, resulting in an increase in water held in storage. For FYE 2022, the District should
  again be able to meet this strategy without purchasing annual Company production rights. Aside from
  foregoing the annual transfer and sale of leased water rights to the District, the Company is planning to
  have minimal transactions in FYE 2022.

     Revenue

  The only source of revenue for FYE 2022 will be monies derived from interest income on funds held by
  the District in the Local Agency Investment Fund (LAIF) on behalf of the Company. These funds are
  anticipated to generate revenue of approximately $100 in FYE 2022.

Sandra Rose          Tony Lopez          Philip L. Erwin      G. Michael Milhiser         Manny Martinez
 President             Director            Director             Vice-President            Director/Auditor
Expenditures

Anticipated FYE 2022 expenditures total approximately $68,900, with the majority of these costs
reflected in the Company’s Chino Basin Watermaster assessments. The $25,000 in Chino Basin
Watermaster assessments is for transactions associated with FYE 2021 activity representing the
Company’s share of costs for recharge basin improvements and annual administrative assessments.

Administrative expenditures of $18,700 are forecasted for FYE 2022 and represent the minimal staff
time required to handle the general administration functions associated with accounting, disbursements,
management, and overall record keeping for the Company. The Company’s plant maintenance
expenditures are comprised of utility and office equipment maintenance costs and are budgeted at
$17,100 for FYE 2022. Other expenses total $8,100 and reflect costs associated with an independent
annual audit, tax return preparation and filing fees, Board of Directors (Board) fees, and liability
insurance.

As we move forward into FYE 2022, staff will keep the Board apprised of both activities and potential
strategies that may be advantageous and merit Board discussion as it relates to the Company.
