Memorandum
To: Board of Directors
From: Marc Davis, Treasurer
Date: September 17, 2015
Subject: Investment Report for the Month of August 2015
Summary
Attached is the Investment Report for the month of August 2015. As required by the
District’s Statement of Investment Policy, the Investment Report delineates all investment
activity during the month.
Staff Recommendation
Approve the Investment Report for the month of August 2015.
Analysis
This report lists the types of securities held in the District’s portfolio, the institutions from
which the securities were purchased, maturity dates and interest rates as of August 30,
2015. The District’s investments are in compliance with the Statement of Investment
Policy adopted by the Board at the June 25, 2015 regular meeting, as well as the
California Government Code. The market values in this report were provided by our third
party custodian, Pershing, LLC, except for the Local Agency Investment Fund (LAIF). The
market value of LAIF was provided by the State Treasurer’s Office. It does not represent
the value of the underlying securities within the pool, but rather the par or cost amount,
which is the amount the District is entitled to withdraw. This reporting practice is
consistent with industry standard practices for similar funds.
The weighted average stated rate of return (current yield) for the District’s investment
portfolio as of August 31, 2015, was 1.027%. The yield to maturity of the portfolio was
1.027%. The District’s weighted average interest rate was 70 basis points (0.697%) above
the daily effective yield of LAIF, which was 0.330% as of August 31, 2015. The weighted
average number of days to maturity for the District’s total portfolio was 794 days (2.18
Board of Directors
September 17, 2015
Page 2 of 2
years). The average duration of the underlying securities in LAIF as of August 31, 2015
was 216 days.
The District’s investment portfolio is in compliance with its liquidity limitations, which
requires that a minimum of 20.00% of the portfolio must mature within one year. The
percentage of the portfolio maturing in less than one year as of August 31, 2015 was
30.56%.
As of August 31, 2015, the District has adequate cash reserves necessary to meet its
obligations for the next six months.
Strategic Plan Element & Goal
This item supports achieving Strategic Element No. 7.0, Finances, by ensuring the short
and long-term fiscal health of the District.
Legal Review
Legal review is not required.
Environmental Review
Subject activity is exempt from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality
Act (CEQA) (Public Resources Code Section 21000 et. seq.). Section 15300.4 of CEQA
allows an agency while establishing its own procedures “to list those specific activities
which fall within each of the exempt classes”, and the District has adopted “CEQA
Guidelines and Implementing Procedures” that state on page 6, “”Projects” does not
include….C. Continuing administrative or maintenance activities.”
Financial Review

Memorandum
To: Board of Directors
From: Scott Carroll, General Manager
Date: September 17, 2015
Subject: EEC Environmental GIS and CMMS Support Services Summary
On October 26, 2009, the District entered into an agreement with EEC for the
development of a Geographical Information System (GIS) and Computerized Maintenance
Management System (CMMS) to manage and coordinate maintenance and operation
activities of the Wastewater Maintenance Division. Attachment 1 is the signed 2009
agreement that includes the scope of services.
After the development of both systems, EEC has been providing support services to
District staff by updating maps, creating cleaning work orders, using GIS maps during
hotspot committee meetings, creating key performance indicators, and making sure the
systems are available and usable on tablets while staff is working in the field.
Staff Recommendation
That the Board of Directors determines EEC Environmental support services for
Geographic Information System (GIS) and Computerized Maintenance Management
System (CMMS) is in the best interest of the District and waives bidding procedures in
accordance with District Operations Code Section 4.04.120(f).
Analysis
According to District Operations Code Section 4.04.070(f), no agreement or contract shall
extend for a period of more than five years, including authorized extensions. Exceptions to this code include trash and recycling contracts, and professional services contracts for
those persons serving as District Officers, such as, General Manager, District Engineer,
District Counsel and District Treasurer.
Board of Directors September 17, 2015

EEC uses Esri ArcGIS as its server platform and provides cloud-base hosting for the District’s GIS and CMMS in EEC’s private cloud built on Amazon Web Services. EEC has
also partnered with Cityworks for CMMS. Due to EEC’s knowledge of the District’s system
and expertise using Cityworks, staff believes it would be in the District’s best interest to
waive bidding procedures and continue using EEC for GIS and CMMS support services for
another year. Attachment 2 is a copy of EEC proposal.
Strategic Plan Element & Goal
This item complies with the objective and strategy of 2015-20 Strategic Plan Element 1.0,
Sewer Infrastructure, which states as follows:
“Objective: To collect and transport wastewater to meet the needs of existing and future
customers.
Strategy: We will do this by the careful management of the collection infrastructure using
prudent planning and maintenance, with financial strategies to maintain sufficient capacity and respond to changing regulatory demands.”
Legal Review
Not applicable
Environmental Review
The consideration of contracts with a firm that performs computer related services such as
GIS or CMMS is not a disturbance of the environment similar to grading or construction
and is not a project under CEQA or the District’s CEQA Guidelines.
Financial Review
The cost for support services is $35,000. There is an additional cost of $4,000 annually
for cloud hosting, which brings the total cost to $39,000. Currently, $45,000 is budgeted
for GIS support in the FY 2014-15 Budget, so there is adequate funding.
Public Notice Process
Copies of this report are on file and will be included with the entire agenda packet for the
September 17, 2015 Board of Directors regular meeting at District headquarters and on
District’s website.
Alternative Actions
1. Direct staff to solicit request for proposals for GIS/CMMS support services.
2. Direct staff to report back with more information.

Subject: GIS and CMMS Development for District Sewer Asset Management
Dear Mr. Fauth,
EXHIBIT "A"
Environmental Engineering & Contracting, Inc. (EEC) is pleased to present this proposal to
provide engineering services related to development of a Geographical Information System
GIS) and Computerized Maintenance Management System (CMMS) for the Costa Mesa
Sanitary District (District). EEC is aware that the District is interested in development of a
functional Sewer System GIS /CMMS, initially to facilitate management of District -wide line
cleaning activities, but ultimately to manage all critical sewer asset operation and maintenance
O &M) and master planning activities. Currently the District has GIS data for sewer mains,
manholes, and county trunk lines that was generated several years ago for Orange County
Sanitation District (OCSD) as part of a county -wide sewer study. This existing GIS data is
incomplete and contains many inaccuracies; however, the data can be corrected and migrated
into a functional GIS, representative of the District's sewer system assets. A variety of
spreadsheets and red -lined sewer atlases are currently used to manually manage sewer O &M
activities. While functional, this method of O &M management is inefficient and does not
provide flexibility in generating work orders or status reporting. Additionally, the District has an
extensive catalog of sewer asset closed circuit television (CCTV) inspection data; however, the
capability for review and analysis of this data is severely limited. A functional GIS /CMMS will
significantly enhance O &M capabilities for the District's key sewer system assets and EEC has
the demonstrated development and integration expertise required to complete these complex
asset management tasks.
Background
The District plans to implement a District -wide line cleaning program to ensure that all District
sewers are cleaned within a three year period. Based on historic observations and District
understanding of the sewer system, some pipelines will need to be cleaned on an annual basis,
some on a bi- annual basis, and others on a tri- annual basis. The District is interested in utilizing
a GIS /CMMS system to manage and coordinate these O &M activities. To serve this purpose,
the existing GIS must first be upgraded to accurately depict the District's sewer assets such as
manholes and sewer pipe segments. To facilitate O &M activity scheduling and monitoring, key
1
EEC — GIS /CMMS Development Proposal, Costa Mesa Sanitary District September 3, 2009
assets must be assigned with attribute data such as pipe sizes, lengths, flow direction, manhole
IDs, elevations, cleaning frequency and cleaning history. The pipe segment's cleaning history
will ensure required line cleaning intervals do not lapse beyond that segment's specified cleaning
frequency. Additionally, wastewater drainage watershed (WDW) and pipe segment
predecessor(s) information for each pipe segment and manhole should be graphically displayed.
Collectively, these elements can give the District a powerful tool to manage and schedule line
cleaning activities while avoiding resource inefficiencies, which could include:
Sending cleaning crews from one location to another across the District in an inefficient
manner,
Cleaning pipe segments out of flow order, rendering downstream segments susceptible to
dislodged waste,
Cleaning pipe segments more often than necessary, and
Not cleaning pipe segment(s) often enough.
EEC proposes to address each of these potential inefficiencies with a comprehensive GIS /CMMS
with the ability to:
Graphically view pipe segments based on real -time cleaning status (Figure 1);
Graphically view the WDWs of the sewer system (Figure 2);
Graphically view pipe segments based on their cleaning frequency or last cleaned date
Figure 3);
Run analysis to determine WDW cleaning prioritization;
Run analysis to determine optimum pipe segment cleaning sequence based on flow
direction;
Include each pipe segment's cleaning frequency in the analysis process; and
Create a system wide, efficient cleaning schedule that considers:
o Pipe segment cleaning history,
o Pipe segment cleaning frequency,
o Downstream pipe segment cleaning schedule,
o Pipe segment WDWs.

EEC — GIS /CMMS Development Proposal, Costa Mesa Sanitary District September 3, 2009
Beyond line cleaning activities, the District manages /conducts a variety of sewer asset
inspections, including sewer line CCTV inspections. The proposed GIS /CMMS will provide the
District with the capability to:
Enter findings /results into an organized database,
Review and analyze inspection results, including viewing of CCTV video, and
Schedule and monitor /report status of inspection activities.
In addition to sewer line O &M activities, the District also performs routine O &M activities for
the 20 District -owned pump stations. Key pump station asset data will be included in the CMMS
database to enable lift station O &M activity scheduling and reporting.
The district also has a need for flow modeling capabilities to identify capacity limitations and
analyze /evaluate the impacts of additional wastewater discharges from new developments or
upgrading facilities. The GIS environment provides an ideal solution for this engineering effort
as the data required to develop an accurate flow model will be contained within the asset
database. These integration activities will provide the District with this critical capacity analysis
functionality.
Scone of Work
GIS Development
GIS development tasks and deliverables include the following:
Develop an accurate and up -to -date GIS containing District sewer system assets based on
industry standards, including sewers, manholes, laterals, and lift stations.
o GIS manhole and sewer line locations will be revised, updated and verified based
on existing District paper atlases (lateral atlas - — 75 pages) and as -built drawings.
o Newly added/constructed /modified assets (within the last three years) will be
created in GIS based on available construction plans. This includes the four
phases of Orange County Sanitation District sewer transfers (Arlington, Watson,
California, and 6 new sewers) and this effort will be closely coordinated with the
District Engineer.
o Active laterals (approximately 35,000), inactive laterals (approximately 10,000)
and inactive wyes (approximately 15,000) will be added to the GIS.
o Key attribute data for sewer and manholes will be extracted from District paper
atlases and as -built drawings, and included in the GIS.
o District easements identified in the paper atlas, as well as those not yet entered
into the District atlas, will be included in the GIS.
6
EEC — GIS /CMMS Development Proposal, Costa Mesa Sanitary District September 3, 2009
Include in the GIS the following items:
o Pipe segment cleaning frequencies (defined by District staff)
o Pipe segment cleaning precursors
o WDW designators (defined by District staff)
Develop and provide sewer system atlases for field crews and line cleaning contractors
four complete sets). These atlases will:
o Depict key asset data (pipe segment ID, pipe material, diameter, flow direction),
o Illustrate cleaning cycles, pipe segment cleaning frequencies, and a cleaning
schedule (specifics to be determined at project kick -offmeeting), and
o Identify WDWs.
Development and Implementation of a Line Cleaning Schedule Methodology
To provide a cleaning schedule that will distribute the monthly work orders in a balanced manner
throughout each three year cycle, EEC plans to partition the sewer system into 12 approximately
equally sized zones made up of complete WDWs. Using these partitioned areas, line cleaning
will be scheduled such that, by the end of each year, all of the annual pipe segments, half of the
bi- annual pipe segments, and a third of the tri- annual pipe segments will have been cleaned.
Based on input from the District, the approximate percentage of the sewer system falling into the
specific cleaning frequency is:
Annual = 20% of the sewer system
Bi- Annual = 30% ofthe sewer system
Tri- Annual = 50% of the sewer system
Using these estimations, approximately 52% of the system will be cleaned each year — 100% of
annuals (20% of the sewer system), 50% of bi- annuals (15% of the sewer system), and 33% of
tri- annuals (17% of the sewer system). By the end of the three year cycle, all of the pipe
segments will have been cleaned at least once, and by the end of six years, the complete cycle
will repeat itself. The cleaning regiment will proceed approximately as follows:
Cleaning
Year Frequency Zones
1 Annual 1 to 12
1 Bi- annual 1 to 6
1 Tri - annual 1 to 4

6 Tri- annual 9 to 12
The chronological sequence of each zone will be determined by the prevalent last cleaning date
of the pipe segments within each zone to minimize the potential for pipe segments to exceed
their designated cleaning frequency. Also, throughout initial implementation of the cleaning
schedule, the last cleaned date for individual pipe segments will be monitored to identify
individual pipe segment at risk of exceeding its cleaning frequency.
GIS Maintenance and Cleaning Schedule Reports
EEC will update, revise, and correct the District's GIS (based on reports from the field), and
generate the cleaning work orders on a quarterly basis or a frequency determined by the District.
In order to develop an effective GIS maintenance and cleaning schedule report procedure, EEC
will conduct a kick -off meeting with District staff and the cleaning contractor. The objectives of
this meeting will be to:
Develop a cleaning work order and cleaning results format.
Develop a procedure for EEC to receive data corrections from field observations and
implement those corrections in the GIS.
Develop a method for EEC to analyze results from the field and deliver up to date
information to the cleaning crews.
This scope of work includes updates, revisions, and corrections of the District's GIS and
production of the sewer system atlases (four complete sets) during the first year of
implementation.
CMMS Development
CMMS development consists ofthe following tasks and deliverables:
Develop a maintenance management database integrated with the District's GIS
providing key asset management capabilities.
Enter sewer system maintenance data into this database, enabling maintenance status
reporting and maintenance scheduling (work orders), including line cleaning, CCTV,
manhole inspections and lift station maintenance activities.
Link CCTV inspection results to the database to facilitate defect assessment and repair
prioritization. CCTV results, when available, will be accessible for viewing through
selection of assets from the GIS interface or through the maintenance management
database interface.
8
EEC — GIS /CMMS Development Proposal, Costa Mesa Sanitary District September 3, 2009
Enter key asset data into this database to support accounting/financial reporting
requirements.
Procure and configure appropriate software licensing for CMMS /GIS integration.
EEC will update, revise, and correct the District's CMMS database (based on reports from the
field) and generate O &M work orders /status reports on a quarterly basis (or a frequency
determined by the District). This scope of work includes updates, revisions, corrections and
maintenance of the District's CMMS and generation of the O &M work orders /reports during the
first 6 months of CMMS implementation.
EEC will conduct a kick -off meeting with District staff (and maintenance contractors, if
requested) to ensure that field inspection reports and data are provided in a consistent format for
efficient importing to the CMMS. EEC will work with District staff and contractors to develop
and configure work orders and status reports suitable for the Districts needs.
Modeling/Master Planning
Modeling/Master Planning tasks and deliverables include the following:
Integrate modeling capabilities into the GIS to provide capacity analysis functionality.
The connectivity established between sewer assets in the GIS, together with application
of Manning's Equation and parcel based land use data, will facilitate development of a
flow model and provide analysis of sewer line capacity issues. This analysis will allow
the District to focus resources on critical parts of the collection system.
Provide capability to analyze downstream effects of additional loading (for new
developments).
Work with District staff to develop maps depicting modeling and analysis results
estimate 80 hours of interface with District staff).
Transition to District Staff
EEC will provide the training and assistance to identified District staff to enable transitioning of
the GIS /CMMS related activities from EEC to District staff (estimate 60 hours of interface with
District staff). Activities may include:
Maintenance data entry (line cleaning, CCTV, lift station maintenance),
Field verified GIS corrections,
Inspection results review and analysis,
Updates to GIS and CMMS for sewer system modifications or upgrades,
Generating work orders and status reports.
9
EEC — GIS /CMMS Development Proposal, Costa Mesa Sanitary District September 3, 2009
Once GIS /CMMS activities have been transitioned to the District, it is estimated that the
following District resources will be required for on -going GIS /CMMS activities:
Software License Maintenance Fees ($3,000- $5,000 per year) - provides for software
updates, technical support, access to online services.
0.5 FTE — provides for data entry, GIS updates, CMMS updates, work orders /reports
and on -going training.
Cost Estimate
The aforementioned scope of work will be performed by EEC on a time and materials basis, in
accordance with our most current fee schedule (2009 Fee Schedule attached for reference). For
the purpose of this proposal, the Estimated Cost (Not to Exceed) is $195,000.

In the event that critical parcel data, including lot lines, Assessor Parcel Numbers (APNs) and
legal descriptions are not accessible to the District at no (or low) cost through public entities
City of Costa Mesa, County Assessor, County Surveyor), additional costs will be required to
purchase this data through private data providers. The estimated cost for this data through a
private provider is between $20,000 and $30,000.

Hydraulic modeling
In order to keep the CMSD’s GIS and CMMS in an optimal state, to make the system available to support
business, budgeting, and maintenance decisions, and to train CMSD staff when necessary, EEC proposes
the following scope of work.
Mr. Scott Carroll
Proposal to Provide GIS and CMMS
Support Services to CMSD 2 August 20, 2015
BACKGROUND
EEC has developed and integrated CMSD’s GIS and CMMS systems. The integrated systems are being
utilized for a variety of asset management and O&M support tasks. Requests for additional system
operational tasks are regularly received.
Requests for analysis, reports, data editing, cleaning schedule fiscal impacts, hydraulic modeling support
are typical and will continue as CMSD increases it’s utilization of the GIS/CMMS and hydraulic modeling
systems. GIS and CMMS technology are ever advancing and evolving to provide greater access and
functionality. EEC has partnerships with Esri (ArcGIS) and Cityworks and is excited to take advantage of
these connections to provide CMSD staff with access and tools that will assist them with spatial analysis,
reporting, and asset management. EEC is prepared to provide the quality and accessible support
necessary to enable CMSD to continue taking advantage of their GIS and CMMS.
SCOPE OF WORK
Update and maintain GIS and CMMS databases
EEC has a unique understanding of the spatial data management challenges CMSD faces as a special
district. EEC will continue to integrate the most up-to-date information from various project files and
field observations into a single authoritative enterprise geodatabase, CMSD’s asset inventory. This
ongoing effort will serve to ensure the accuracy and completeness of data being reported to the field
and the quality of the data presented in map products.
EEC will also implement the latest Esri data management technology including geometric networks,
relationship classes, and tables and update existing feature classes, feature datasets, geometric
networks, relationship classes, and tables when the need arises or as requested by CMSD.
Schedule: Ongoing throughout the project
Key Deliverables: An asset inventory, enterprise ArcSDE geodatabase with current asset information
Maintain CMMS integration
CMSD has successfully deployed its CMMS, Cityworks,
to the field. EEC is a certified Cityworks implementer
and has a unique understanding of the tasks and efforts
necessary to keep CMSD’s system operating. The
GIS/CMMS integration simplifies the overall business of
managing government, assist with addressing customer
concerns, improves planning and reporting, and
maximizes both revenue and capital investments. EEC is
well equipped to maintain CMSD’s GIS and CMMS
integration. EEC can also assist CMSD in leveraging the
integration for better spatial and business analysis,
better asset management, and better reporting.
Schedule: Ongoing throughout the project
Key Deliverables: Maintained CMMS and GIS integration and operation
Mr. Scott Carroll
Proposal to Provide GIS and CMMS
Support Services to CMSD 3 August 20, 2015
Convert hard copy maps or CAD drawings to GIS
EEC will convert hard copy maps to GIS features by georeferencing the maps to their geographic location
and digitizing the features present. EEC often uses custom scripts to accelerate this process to minimize
manual input for digitizing and collecting attribute information for each feature on the map.
When CADD drawings are available, EEC will use ArcGIS tools and scripts to georeference and convert
the CADD layers to GIS feature classes with the least information loss possible. When necessary, EEC can
provide scanning services using an HP DesignJet T2300 scanner for large-format documents. EEC will
take great care and caution to maintain the physical integrity of all plans, maps, or other materials.
EEC understands the need for strict QA/QC procedures when it comes to data collection and entry.
Faulty data in a geodatabase will lead to flawed analysis. As part of its QA/QC procedures, EEC includes
data validation techniques, which could include the use of topology rules and Esri’s ArcGIS Data
Reviewer, that identify errors and gaps in attribute data.
Schedule: As requested by CMSD
Key Deliverables: Updates to the enterprise geodatabase
Perform spatial analyses
EEC is exceptionally familiar with the spatial analyst, 3D analyst, and
network analyst extensions for ArcGIS. EEC will use this experience to
perform spatial and network analyses as requested by the CMSD.
These analyses could include identifying root intrusion, identifying
manhole lids that need to be plugged and sealed for inflow and
infiltration programs, hydraulic modeling, project costing, criticality
and probability of failure or any other analyses. EEC can also assist the
CMSD to use technology for public outreach efforts. Spatial analysis
through the GIS can also measure the distribution of assets, determine
the relationship between assets, quantify patterns, and make
predictions in the best interest of managing assets.
Schedule: As requested throughout the project
Key Deliverables: Maps, reports, and enterprise geodatabase updates based on analysis results
Develop and maintain industry-standard metadata
Metadata is one of the most valuable resources in keeping an enterprise geodatabase clean and usable.
EEC will use its knowledge of metadata standards and requirements to ensure that each part of CMSD’s
enterprise geodatabase is properly documented. EEC will interview CMSD staff when necessary to
gather information on any part of the GIS for which EEC doesn’t have existing knowledge.
Schedule: Ongoing throughout the project
Key Deliverables: Up-to-date metadata for datasets in the enterprise geodatabase
Create report-quality maps and exhibits upon request
EEC is familiar with CMSD’s figure needs. EEC has successfully delivered a number of maps and map
products to CMSD.EEC will create custom maps and information products as requested by CMSD. EEC
has been developing maps to display spatial data for nearly two decades. The maps range in complexity
Mr. Scott Carroll
Proposal to Provide GIS and CMMS
Support Services to CMSD 4 August 20, 2015
of displaying very intricate data structures, such as water,
sewer, and storm drain networks, to simple sphere-of-
influence boundaries for agencies’ public outreach
efforts. EEC is prepared to offer these services to CMSD
and can conform to any existing image standards or
industry-specific standards. EEC can also publish maps
online or in pdf and many other formats. Map production
QA/QC includes several layers of review by project
managers or principals-in-charge and a technical editor
who confirms data accuracy.
To increase accountability and transparency in the figure
request process, CMSD can use EEC’s project
management portal to submit requests for figures and
receive updates on the figure request process.
Schedule: As requested throughout the project
Key Deliverables: Error-free, report-quality maps and exhibits;
Provide recommendations to improve the GIS or CMMS program
EEC is a trusted GIS and CMMS technology advisor to many public agencies, including the City of
Anaheim, West Basin Municipal Water District, the City of Santa Ana, and the City of Sacramento. EEC
has recommended and implemented numerous improvements to CMSD’s GIS program in the past and is
well-positioned to maintain the momentum of those improvements. EEC will continue recommending
new improvements as new developments arise in the GIS and CMMS industries.
EEC is active in many GIS and public works associations, attends conferences, and is regularly exposed to
the latest trends and new developments in the GIS, CMMS, and wastewater industries. This is how EEC
can help agencies, such as the Yorba Linda Water District, to make improvements to their enterprise GIS.
EEC is also a regional leader in the GIS industry and regularly presents at associations and conferences.
Schedule: Ongoing throughout the project
Key Deliverables: Technical memoranda, revisions to needs assessment documents
Expand Accessibility of GIS and CMMS
The GIS and CMMS systems developed by EEC for CMSD can serve CMSD in a greater capacity. By
empowering CMSD staff with access to these systems they will be able to create and share maps on
blogs, web pages, web and mobile applications, conduct spatial analysis, retrieve asset documentation,
view key performance indicators, and report to the public and field staff.
Schedule: Ongoing throughout the project
Key Deliverables: Technical memoranda, revisions to needs assessment documents
Other duties as required
EEC understands that GIS solutions and work products are often developed as needs arise within an
organization, so not all services required can be anticipated right now. EEC’s team is particularly adept at
developing GIS-based solutions to complex organizational requirements. Whenever possible, EEC uses
existing industry standards, templates, or internal experience to ensure that clients’ GIS systems are as
Mr. Scott Carroll
Proposal to Provide GIS and CMMS
Support Services to CMSD 5 August 20, 2015
interoperable as possible with other agencies’ datasets and tools used within the water industry. As an
example, EEC can help the CMSD integrate SCADA and GIS, collect field data with GPS, integrate
customer service/billing data with the GIS, report to regulatory agencies, train staff in GIS, and perform
key system and software updates. Keeping systems up to date with new software releases and updates
is critical to ensure the system keeps pace with industry standards, software support, hardware, and
operating systems.
Provide Cloud Hosting of GIS and CMMS
EEC is currently providing cloud-based hosting for CMSD’s GIS and CMMS in EEC’s private cloud built on
Amazon Web Services. As part of this service, EEC manages the virtual hardware and software
infrastructure necessary to support these systems, monitors the systems to maintain uptime, takes
backups of the systems to ensure no data is lost due to system failures, updates operating systems and
hardware as new versions are released, and provides support to CMSD staff in accessing the system.
EEC is currently contracted to provide one year of these services to CMSD under a contract entered into
with Utility Systems Science Software (US3). As part of this scope, CMSD would continue paying for
those hosting services under this contract.
Schedule: Ongoing throughout the project
Key Deliverables: Cloud-based GIS and CMMS environment accessible by CMSD staff
ESTIMATED COST
EEC estimates support services will require 20-27 hours a month. The estimated cost to complete the
aforementioned scope of work for one year (12 months) is $35,000 of time-and-material-based services,
plus a $4,000 flat-rate hosting fee.

Memorandum
To: Board of Directors
From: Scott Carroll, General Manager
Date: September 17, 2015
Subject: Sewer Lateral Assistance Program (SLAP) Survey Results Summary
Survey cards are mailed to residents after completing the District’s Sewer Lateral
Assistance Program (SLAP). The survey cards are attempts to engage with residents
their level of satisfaction on the program and helps staff determine areas of improvement. Staff Recommendation
That the Board of Directors receive and file the report.
Analysis
Staff tabulated survey results from the last two fiscal years (FY 2013-14 & 2014-15). The
return ratio is 35% in FY 2013-14 and 38% in FY 2014-15. Residents were asked to rate their satisfaction level to each question on a scale of 1 to 5 with 1 being “very poor” and 5
being “very good”. The goal is to achieve 90% when combining 4 and 5 on the rating
scale. Attachment A are results of the survey and below are illustrated graphs.
Out of the six questions on the survey, Q3 received the lowest scores (84% and 83%). Q3 ask the following question:
“Was the District able to professionally discuss your sewer lateral problems and assist you
in making decisions?”
In FY 2013-14, 9% responded with a score of 3 or lower and in 2014-15 7% scored a 3 or
lower. However, 8% of respondents did not answer the question in 2013-14 and 10% did
not answer the question in 2014-15. Staff believe respondents did not answer this
question because they did not ask for assistance. If they had, the level of satisfaction
would be closer to 90%.

The graph above demonstrates that plumbers are using the District’s SLAP as a marketing
tool to solicit business. Staff believes the plumbers are not telling residents the
parameters of the program such as submitting a “before” video to staff before work is
performed. As a result, many plumbers are performing unnecessary improvements
costing residents thousands of dollars.

1. How will the District’s contribution benefit and serve the purpose of the District?
The purpose must be one of the District’s statutory powers (trash/recycling and
wastewater collection). An example is that the event will help promote District
programs such as organics recycling, composting, sharps disposal, kitchen grease recycling, large item collection, sanitary sewer overflow prevention, etc.
2. How will a contribution advance this purpose? An example is having recycling cans
available at the event, signs encouraging recycling, or having a booth at the event
to promote District programs.

Memorandum
To: Board of Directors
From: Marc Davis, Treasurer
Date: September 17, 2015
Subject: Resolution Authorizing Investing in CalTRUST Summary
Attached is a Resolution authorizing the District to invest in CalTRUST. A Resolution was
originally adopted in 2008, but an account was never opened with CalTRUST. The
attached Resolution includes updated language required by CalTRUST so that an account may now be opened.
Staff Recommendation
Approve Resolution No. 2015-875 authorizing the Costa Mesa Sanitary District to join the
Investment Trust of California, a Public Joint Powers Authority, otherwise known as CalTRUST, to invest operating reserves and funds in the treasury not required for
immediate needs with other public agencies in the Trust.
Analysis
A number of California public agencies have created a Joint Powers Authority (JPA) -- the Investment Trust of California, commonly known as CalTRUST -- for the purpose of pooling local agency assets for investing. Membership in the CalTRUST program is open
to any Public Agency in California. At the present time, there are over 100 CalTRUST
participants.
CalTRUST invests in fixed income securities eligible for local agency investment pursuant to California Government Code Sections 53601 and 53635. A Board of Trustees
supervises and administers the investment programs of the JPA. CalTRUST maintains
and administers four pooled accounts within the program:
• a Money Market option, which invests in an existing SEC-registered money market
fund, which is rated “AAA” by Standard & Poor’s and “Aaa” by Moody’s Investor
Board of Directors
September 17, 2015
Page 2 of 4
Services, and which maintains a dollar-weighted average maturity of less than 90 days;
• a Short-Term Account with a target duration of 0-2 years;
• a Medium-Term Account with a target duration of 1.5-3.5 years; and
• a Long-Term Account with a target duration of 5-7 years (although authorized by
the CalTRUST Joint Powers Agreement, the CalTRUST Board of Trustees has
elected to defer the opening of the Long-Term Account until the interest rate
environment is more favorable for longer term securities).
The JPA is governed by a Board of Trustees, consisting of up to 15 members, all of whom
are experienced investment officers or employees of the public agency members. The
Trustees are responsible for setting the overall policies and procedures for the JPA, and
for hiring and supervising the activities of the program administrator, the investment advisor, the custodian, the auditor, legal counsel, etc.
One of the principal advantages of CalTRUST is its flexibility. The Money Market account
permits daily transactions, with same-day liquidity (provided redemption requests are
received by 1:00 p.m. Pacific time), with no limit on the amount of funds that may be invested. The Short-Term account permits an unlimited number of transactions per month
(with prior day notice), with no limit on the amount of funds that may be invested. The
Medium- and Long-Term accounts permit investments, withdrawals and transfers once per
month, with five days advance notice. At present, the JPA requires a minimum investment
of $250,000; however, this requirement can be waived at the discretion of the CalTRUST Administrator. CalTRUST provides printed statements on a monthly basis, as well as 24-
hour, password protected information on member accounts via online access.
CalTRUST has entered into a Program Administration agreement with the CSAC Finance
Corporation to provide administrative services. The CSAC Finance Corporation, formed in 1986, provides a broad range of financial services programs through the California
Statewide Communities Development Authority, a joint powers authority, which currently
has 57 counties, more than 225 cities, and more than 50 special districts throughout the
State as members.
CalTRUST also has entered into an Investment Advisory agreement with Wells Capital
Management (WellsCap) to serve as investment advisor for the JPA. Subject to overall
policy direction of the Board of Trustees, the investment advisor is responsible for the daily
management of the investment affairs and research relating to the JPA’s accounts. Wells
Capital Management is an asset management and broker/dealer firm and is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. WellsCap has a national and international
client base consisting of major governmental and institutional funds and corporate
portfolios.
The Treasurer currently uses the Local Agency Investment Fund (LAIF) run by the State Treasurer, as a vehicle for managing liquidity in the portfolio. LAIF, however, has
restrictions on the amount of funds that can be on deposit at any one time. CalTRUST will
Board of Directors
September 17, 2015
Page 3 of 4
give the Treasurer an additional vehicle to use in managing liquidity and bond proceeds,
where appropriate; and if used in conjunction with LAIF, will provide increased
diversification in the portfolio. In addition, the CalTRUST program will offer medium- and
long-term options which LAIF does not offer.
Based on the liquidity features of the CalTRUST program and the overall flexibility of the
program, approval of the resolution to participate in the Investment Trust of California is
recommended, as well as a grant of authority to the Treasurer to execute the Joint Powers
Agreement and all other documents required for participation in the CalTRUST Joint Powers Authority.
Strategic Plan Element & Goal
This item supports achieving Strategic Element No. 7.0, Finances, by ensuring the short
and long-term fiscal health of the District.
Legal Review
The Resolution, JPA Agreement, Information Statement, Investment Policy and
Registration Form have been provided to the District’s Attorney for review as to form.
Environmental Review
Subject activity is exempt from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality
Act (CEQA) (Public Resources Code Section 21000 et. seq.). Section 15300.4 of CEQA
allows an agency while establishing its own procedures “to list those specific activities
which fall within each of the exempt classes”, and the District has adopted “CEQA Guidelines and Implementing Procedures” that state on page 6, “”Projects” does not
include….C. Continuing administrative or maintenance activities.”
Financial Review
There are no costs associated with joining the Investment Trust of California Joint Powers Authority. As with LAIF, all expenses associated with participation in CalTRUST are
deducted from the yield.
At present, the total annual operating expense of the CalTRUST Money Market Account is
0.13% (13 basis points) per year on the average daily net assets in the Money Market Account. Total annual operating expense of the CalTRUST Short-Term Account is 0.14%
(14 basis points) per year on the first $500 million of average daily net assets in the Short-
Term Account (all participants combined), and 0.13% (13 basis points) per year on
average daily net assets above $500 million.. Total annual operating expenses for the
Medium-Term and Long-Term accounts are 0.24% (24 basis points) of the average daily net assets in the Medium- and Long-Term accounts, respectively.
There are no out-of-pocket expenses for money invested in CalTRUST. In addition, there
are no transaction costs associated with contributions to, or withdrawals from, the
CalTRUST accounts, or for transfers between CalTRUST accounts.

Section 1.2 hereof.

LA1 609347
Section 6.1 Shares of Beneficial Interest. The interests of the Participants in the Shares
Program established hereunder shall be divided into transferable units to be called Shares of
beneficial interest, $0.01 par value (the “Shares”). The number of Shares authorized hereunder
is unlimited. Subject to Section 6.2, the Board may establish and designate from time to time
any number of series of Shares (each, a “Series”), the proceeds of which may be invested in
separate, independently managed accounts. Each Share of any Series shall represent an equal
proportionate share in CalTRUST assets with respect to such Series with each other Share in
such Series. The Board may divide or combine the Shares of any Series into a greater or lesser
number of Shares of such Series without thereby changing the proportionate interests in
CalTRUST assets with respect to such Series.
(a) Initial Series of Shares. There is hereby established and designated three (3)
initial Series of Shares to be known as: (i) the “CalTRUST Short-Term Fund” Series, (ii) the
“CalTRUST Medium-Term Fund” Series, and (iii) the “CalTRUST Long-Term Fund” Series.
All Shares issued hereunder, including without limitation, Shares issued in connection with a
dividend in Shares or a division of Shares, shall be fully paid and nonassessable.
(b) Money Market Fund Series of Shares. In addition, there is hereby established
and designated the “CalTRUST Money Market Fund” Series. All shares issued hereunder,
including without limitation, Shares issued in connection with a dividend in Shares or a division
of Shares. shall be fully paid and nonassessable.
Section 6.2 Series of Shares. The following provisions shall be applicable to each Series of
Shares established and designated by the Board:
(a) Number and Classification. The number of shares of each Series that may be
issued shall be unlimited. The Board may classify or reclassify any unissued shares of any
Series or any Shares previously issued and reacquired into one or more Series that may be
established and designated from time to time. Shares reacquired by CalTRUST shall be
canceled and restored to the status of authorized and unissued Shares undesignated as to Series.
(b) Series Assets. All consideration received by CalTRUST for the issue or sale of
Shares of a particular Series, together with all assets in which such consideration is invested or
reinvested, all income, earnings, profits and proceeds thereof, including any proceeds derived
from the sale, exchange or liquidation of such assets, and any funds or payments derived from
reinvestment of such proceeds in whatever form the same may be, shall irrevocably belong to
that Series for all purposes, subject only to the rights of creditors, and shall be so recorded upon
the books of account of CalTRUST. In the event that there are any assets, income, earnings,
profits, or proceeds thereof, or funds or payments which are not readily identifiable as belonging
to any particular Series, the Board shall allocate them among any one or more of the Series
established and designated from time to time in such manner and on such basis as they, in their
sole discretion, deem fair and equitable. Each such allocation by the Board shall be conclusive
and binding upon the Participants of the Shares Program in all Series for all purposes.
(c) Series Liabilities. The assets belonging to each particular Series shall be charged
with the liabilities of CalTRUST in respect of that Series, as with all expenses, costs, charges
and reserves attributable to that Series, and any general liabilities, expenses, costs, charges or
15
LA1 609347
reserves of CalTRUST which are not readily identifiable as belonging to any particular Series
shall be allocated and charged by the Board to and among any one or more of the Series
established and designated from time to time in such manner and on such basis as the Board in
its sole discretion deem fair and equitable. Each allocation of liabilities, expenses, costs, charges
and reserves by the Board shall be conclusive and binding upon the Participants of the Shares
Program in all Series for all purposes.
(d) Dividends and Distributions. All dividends and distributions on Shares of a
particular Series shall be distributed pro rata to the Participants in that Series in proportion to the
number of Shares of that Series held by such Participants at the date and time of record
established pursuant hereto for the payment of such dividends or distributions.
(e) Liquidation. In the event of the liquidation of a particular Series, the Participants
in that Series which is being liquidated shall be entitled to receive, when and as declared by the
Board, the excess of the assets belonging to that Series over the liabilities belonging to that
Series. The Participants of the Shares Program in any Series shall not be entitled thereby to any
distribution upon liquidation of any other Series. The assets so distributable to the Participants in
any Series shall be distributed among such Participants in proportion to the number of Shares of
that Series held by them and recorded on the books of CalTRUST. The liquidation of any
particular Series in which there are Shares then outstanding may be authorized by an instrument
in writing approved by the Board, without the approval of the outstanding voting Shares of that
Series.
(f) Conversion and Exchange. The Board shall have the authority to provide that
the Participants in any Series shall have the right to convert or exchange the Shares of such
Series for or into Shares of one or more other Series in accordance with such requirements and
procedures as may be established by the Board.
(g) Designations. The Board shall have the power to determine the designations,
preferences, privileges, limitations and rights, including approval and dividend rights, of each
Series of Shares. Subject to the provisions of this Section 6.2, all Shares of all Series shall have
identical rights and privileges, except insofar as variations thereof among Series shall have been
determined and fixed by the Board.
(h) Additional Series. The establishment and designation of any Series of Shares in
addition to the three (3) initial Series established and designated in Section 6.1 shall be effective
upon the execution by the Board of an instrument setting forth such establishment and
designation and the relative rights, preferences, approval powers, restrictions, limitations as to
dividends, qualifications, and terms and conditions of redemption of such Series or as otherwise
provided in such instrument. At any time that there are no Shares outstanding of any particular
Series previously established and designated, the Board may by written instrument approved by
the Board abolish that Series and the establishment and designation thereof. Each instrument
referred to in this Section 6.2(h) shall constitute an amendment to this Agreement.
Section 6.3 Rights of Participants. The ownership of CalTRUST property of every
description and the right to conduct the affairs of CalTRUST herein before described are vested
exclusively in CalTRUST, and the Participants shall have no interest therein other than the
16
LA1 609347
beneficial interest conferred by their Shares, and they shall have no right to call for any partition,
division, dividend or distribution of any property, profits, rights or interests of CalTRUST nor
can they be called upon to assume any losses of CalTRUST or suffer an assessment of any kind
by virtue of their ownership of Shares. The Shares shall be personal property giving only the
rights specifically set forth in this Agreement. The Shares shall not entitle the holder to
preference, preemptive, appraisal, conversion or exchange rights, except as the Board may
determine.
Section 6.4 Register of Shares. A register for the Shares Program (the “Shares Register”)
shall be kept at the principal executive office of CalTRUST or at such place as the Board shall
designate containing the names and addresses of all Participants of the Shares Program and the
number and Series of Shares held by them respectively and a record of all transfers thereof.
Such register shall be conclusive as to which Participants are the holders of the Shares and which
Participants shall be entitled to receive distributions or otherwise to exercise or enjoy the rights
of Participants of the Shares Program. No Participant shall be entitled to receive payment of any
distribution, nor to have rights given to it as herein provided, until its correct name and address
has been given to the transfer agent, record keeper or such other officer or agent of CalTRUST
as shall keep the Shares Register. The Board, in its discretion, may but need not authorize the
issuance of Share certificates and promulgate appropriate rules and regulations as to their use.
Section 6.5 Transfer of Shares. Shares shall be transferable on the Shares Register only by
the record holder thereof or by its agent thereunto duly authorized in writing, upon delivery to
the transfer agent or record keeper of a duly executed instrument of transfer, together with such
evidence of the genuineness of each such execution and authorization and of other matters as
may reasonably be required. Upon such delivery, the transfer shall be recorded on the Shares
Register. Until such record is made, the Participant of record shall be deemed to be the holder of
such Shares for all purposes hereunder and neither CalTRUST nor any transfer agent or record
keeper nor any trustee, officer, employee or agent of CalTRUST shall be affected by any notice
of the proposed transfer. No Shares may be transferred to a transferee other than a Participant or
CalTRUST itself. Any attempted transfer to any other person shall be void and of no effect.
ARTICLE VII.
REDEMPTIONS OF SHARES WITHIN SHARES
PROGRAM
Section 7.1 Redemptions. In case any Participant of the Shares Program at any time desires
to dispose of its Shares, it may deposit a written request or other such form of request as the
Board may from time to time authorize, at the office of the transfer agent or record keeper or at
the office of any bank or trust company, either in or outside of California which is a member of
the Federal Reserve System and which the transfer agent or record keeper has designated in
writing for that purpose, to have the Shares redeemed by CalTRUST at the net asset value
thereof per Share next determined after such deposit as provided in Article VIII. Payment for
redemption shall be made to the Participant within the number of business days specified in the
Information Statement for the Shares Program, as most recently amended or supplemented,
unless the date of payment is postponed pursuant to Section 7.2, in which event payment may be
delayed beyond such period.
17
LA1 609347
Section 7.2 Suspension of Right of Redemption. The Board may declare a suspension of
the right of redemption or postpone the date of payment or redemption for the whole or any part
of any period (i) during which the New York Stock Exchange is closed other than customary
weekend and holiday closings, (ii) during which trading on the New York Stock Exchange is
restricted, (iii) during which the Bond Market Association has declared the market closed when
the New York Stock Exchange is open, or (iv) during which an emergency exists as a result of
which disposal by CalTRUST of securities owned by it is not reasonably practicable or it is not
reasonably practicable for the value of CalTRUST’s net assets to be determined. Such
suspension shall take effect at such time as the Board shall specify but not later than the close of
business on the business day next following the declaration of suspension, and thereafter there
shall be no right of redemption or payment on redemption until the Board shall declare the
suspension at an end, except that the suspension shall terminate in any event on the first day on
which the New York Stock Exchange shall have reopened or the period specified in (ii) or (iv)
shall have expired (as to which the determination of the Board shall be conclusive). In the case
of a suspension of the right of redemption, a Participant may either withdraw its request for
redemption or receive payment based on the net asset value existing after the termination of the
suspension. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 14.5, notice of the suspension of the right
of redemption shall be deemed duly given upon the posting of such notice in a prominent
location on the homepage of the CalTRUST website.
Section 7.3 Redemptions to Reimburse CalTRUST for Loss on Nonpayment for Shares
or for Other Charges. CalTRUST shall have the power to redeem Shares owned by any
Participant (i) to the extent necessary to reimburse CalTRUST for any loss it has sustained by
reason of the failure of such Participant to make full payment for Shares purchased by such
Participant, (ii) to the extent necessary to collect any charge relating to a transaction effected for
the benefit of such Participant which is applicable to Shares as provided in the Information
Statement for the Shares Program, as most recently amended or supplemented, or (iii) as
otherwise deemed necessary by the Board for CalTRUST to comply with applicable law in
connection with the affairs of CalTRUST. Any such redemption shall be effected at the
redemption price determined in accordance with Section 7.1. CalTRUST shall notify the
Participant whose Shares are being redeemed, in writing, prior to redeeming any Share pursuant
to this Section.
Section 7.4 Redemptions in Kind. Payment for Shares redeemed pursuant to Section 7.1
may, at the option of the Board, in its complete discretion be made in cash, or in kind, or
partially in cash and partially in kind. In case of payment in kind, the Board, or its delegate,
shall have absolute discretion as to what security or securities shall be distributed in kind and the
amount of the same, and the securities shall be valued for purposes of distribution at the figure at
which they were appraised in computing the net asset value of the Shares.
Section 7.5 Reporting. In accordance with the terms of the Investment Advisory Agreement,
the Investment Advisor shall provide, or cause the Custodian and/or any agent of the Investment
Advisor or the Custodian to provide, information to each Participant, at least monthly, describing
such Participant’s investments through the Shares Program, including but not limited to the type
of investment, issuer, date of maturity, par and dollar amount invested on all securities,
investments and moneys held by the Participant, and shall additionally include a description of
any of the Participant’s funds, investments, or programs that are under the management of any
18
LA1 609347
subcontractor to the Investment Advisor (but only if such subcontracting is permitted by this
Agreement and the Investment Policy or consented to by the Members) or are part of any
securities lending program, as well as a current market value of such Participant’s Shares as of
the date of the report and shall include the source of this same valuation.
Section 7.6 Minimum Investment. The Board shall have the power to fix the minimum
investment for Participants of the Shares Program expressed in dollars or Shares, or both.
Whenever a Participant’s investment is less than the minimum established by the Board,
CalTRUST may redeem the Shares of such Participant, provided, however, that thirty (30) days
prior notice is given to such Participant. If the Board changes the minimum investment to an
amount greater than the investment of any Participant at the time that such change becomes
effective, the investment of such Participant shall not be redeemed without such Participant’s
consent.
ARTICLE VIII.
DETERMINATION OF NET ASSET VALUE, NET
INCOME, DISTRIBUTIONS AND
ALLOCATIONS
Section 8.1 Shares Program. The Information Statement for the Shares Program, as most
recently amended or supplemented, sets forth such bases and times for determining the per Share
net asset value of the Shares, the net income, and the declaration and payment of distributions, as
the Board, in its absolute discretion, may prescribe and deem necessary or desirable.
ARTICLE IX.
MEETINGS OF PARTICIPANTS; APPROVAL
POWER OF PARTICIPANTS
Section 9.1 Voting. The Participants entitled to vote or take action at any meeting or without
a meeting of Participants shall be determined in accordance with this Article IX. The
Participants’ vote may be by voice vote or by ballot. Shares of each Series shall be voted and
shall be counted based on the relative net asset value of each Share, and all Shares of all Series
shall be voted together as one class, except for matters that relate exclusively to a particular
Series for which only holders of Shares of that Series shall vote. Any Participant may vote part
of the Shares in favor of the proposal and refrain from voting the remaining Shares or, vote them
against the proposal, but if the Participant fails to specify the number of Shares which the
Participant is voting affirmatively, it will be conclusively presumed that the Participant’s
approving vote is with respect to the total Shares that the Participant is entitled to vote on such
proposal.
Section 9.2 Action Without Meeting. Any action which may be taken at any meeting of
Participants may be taken without a meeting and without prior notice if a consent in writing
setting forth the action so taken is signed as provided in this Section 9.2. Any action taken at any
meeting or by signed consent, may be taken upon the vote or written consent of the holders of
outstanding Shares having not less than the minimum number of votes necessary to authorize or
take that action at a meeting at which all Shares entitled to vote on that action were present and
voted. All such written consents shall be filed with the Secretary or such other designated officer
19
LA1 609347
of CalTRUST and shall be maintained in CalTRUST’s records. A Participant’s written consent
may be revoked by a writing received by the Secretary or such other designated officer of
CalTRUST before written consents of the value of Shares necessary to authorize the proposed
action have been filed with the Secretary or such other designated officer of CalTRUST.
Section 9.3 Notice of Action. The Secretary or such other designated officer of CalTRUST
shall give prompt notice to all Participants of any action approved: (a) by the Participants
without a meeting, (b) that amends or terminates the Custody Agreement or Investment Advisory
Agreement, (c) that amends the Investment Policy or this Agreement or (d) pursuant to Section
9.8 hereof. This notice shall be given in the manner specified in Section 14.5.
Section 9.4 Meetings. To the extent required by law, meetings of Participants shall be
governed by and held in accordance with the provisions of the Ralph M. Brown Act.
Section 9.5 Proxies. Every person entitled to vote on any matter shall have the right to do so
either in person or by one or more agents authorized by a written proxy signed by the person and
filed with the Secretary or such other designated officer of CalTRUST. A proxy shall be deemed
signed if the Participant’s name is placed on the proxy (whether by manual signature,
typewriting, telegraphic transmission or otherwise) by the Participant or the Participant’s
attorney-in-fact. A validly executed proxy which does not state that it is irrevocable shall
continue in full force and effect unless (i) revoked by the person executing it before the vote
pursuant to that proxy by a writing delivered to CalTRUST stating that the proxy is revoked or
by a subsequent proxy executed by, or attendance at the meeting and voting in person by the
person executing that proxy; or (ii) written notice of the death or incapacity of the maker of that
proxy is received by CalTRUST before the vote pursuant to that proxy is counted; provided,
however, that no proxy shall be valid after the expiration of eleven (11) months from the date of
the proxy unless otherwise provided in the proxy.
Section 9.6 Inspectors.
(a) Appointment. Before any meeting of Participants, the Board may appoint any
persons, other than Trustees whose appointment is to be approved at such meeting, to act as
inspectors at the meeting or its adjournment. If no inspectors are so appointed, the chair of the
meeting may, and on the request of any Participant or a Participant’s proxy shall, appoint
inspectors at the meeting. The number of inspectors shall be either one (1) or three (3). If
inspectors are appointed at a meeting on the request of one or more Participants or proxies, the
holders of at least a majority of the outstanding Shares or their proxies present at the meeting
shall determine whether one (1) or three (3) inspectors are to be appointed. If any person
appointed as inspector fails to appear or fails or refuses to act, the chair of the meeting may, and
on the request of any Participant or a Participant’s proxy shall, appoint a person to fill the
vacancy.
(b) Duties. These inspectors shall:
(i) Determine the number of Shares outstanding and the voting power of
each, the Shares represented at the meeting, the existence of a quorum and the authenticity,
validity and effect of proxies;
20
LA1 609347
(ii) Receive votes, ballots or consents;
(iii) Hear and determine all challenges and questions in any way arising in
connection with the right to vote;
(iv) Count and tabulate all votes or consents;
(v) Determine when the polls shall close;
(vi) Determine the result; and
(vii) Do any other acts that may be proper to conduct the election or vote with
fairness to all Participants.
Section 9.7 Record Date for Participant Notice, Voting and Giving Consents.
(a) Fixed Record Date. For purposes of determining the Participants entitled to
notice of any meeting or to vote or entitled to give consent to action without a meeting, the
Board may fix in advance a record date which shall not be more than fifteen (15) days nor fewer
than seven (7) days before the date of any such meeting.
(b) Deemed Record Date. If the Board does not so fix a record date:
(i) For Meetings. The record date for determining Participants entitled to
notice of or to vote at a meeting of Participants shall be at the close of business on the business
day next preceding the day on which notice is given or if notice is waived, at the close of
business on the business day next preceding the day on which the meeting is held.
(ii) For Written Consent. The record date for determining Participants
entitled to give consent to action in writing without a meeting, when no prior action by the Board
has been taken, shall be the day on which the first written consent is requested, or, when prior
action of the Board has been taken, shall be at the close of business on the day on which the
Board adopts the resolution relating to that action.
Section 9.8 Approval Powers of Participants. Any amendment to the Investment Policy
shall require: (a) the approval of Participants or their proxies holding at least a majority of the
outstanding Shares or (b) the negative consent of the Participants. To obtain the negative
consent of the Participants, the following negative consent procedure shall be followed: (x) the
Secretary shall provide each Participant with a notice in accordance with Section 14.5 at least
sixty (60) days prior to the date of such proposed action explaining the nature of such proposed
action and this negative consent procedure; (y) the Secretary shall provide each Participant who
did not respond to the initial notice with a notice at least thirty (30) days prior to the date of such
proposed action explaining the nature of such proposed action and this negative consent
procedure; (z) if Participants owning at least fifty percent (50%) of the Shares do not object to
the proposed action in writing within sixty (60) days after the initial notice, the proposed action
shall become effective with respect to all Participants; provided, however, any Participant that
objects in writing to the action within sixty (60) days after receiving the initial notice shall be
permitted to redeem its Shares as set forth herein.
21
LA1 609347
Section 9.9 Meeting Agendas.
(a) Regular Board Meetings. If a Participant desires an item of business to be
included on the agenda for the next scheduled regular Board meeting, the Participant may
request that such item of business be included on the agenda in accordance with the provisions of
Section 2.7(b) hereof.
(b) Participant Meetings. A Participant may notify the Secretary if such Participant
desires an item of business to be included on the agenda for the next scheduled regular
Participant meeting. For such item of business to be included on the agenda, the Secretary must
receive the request at least ninety six (96) hours prior to such regular meeting. If the request to
include an item of business on the agenda is not received at least ninety six (96) hours prior to
such meeting, such item of business shall not be included on the agenda for that meeting, but
shall be included on the agenda for the following regular meeting of the Participants, unless the
Board otherwise determines to include such item of business on the agenda in accordance with
the Ralph M. Brown Act.
(c) Special Board or Participant Meetings. Any Participant may notify the
Administrator if such Participant desires the Board to call a special meeting of the Board or of
Participants to consider an urgent item of business raised by a Participant, provided that the
Board is not required to call a special meeting to consider such item of business. Any such
request shall be made in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.7(c) hereof.
ARTICLE X.
LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY OF MEMBERS,
PARTICIPANTS, TRUSTEES AND OTHERS
Section 10.1 No Personal Liability of Members, Participants, Trustees and Others. Except
in the case of fraud or willful misconduct, no Member, Participant and, subject to Section 10.3,
no Trustee, officer, employee or agent of CalTRUST, acting in its capacity as a Member,
Participant, Trustee, officer, employee or agent of CalTRUST, as applicable, shall be subject to
any personal liability whatsoever to any person in connection with property or the acts,
obligations or affairs of CalTRUST, and all such persons shall look solely to CalTRUST
property for satisfaction of claims of any nature arising in connection with the affairs of
CalTRUST. Except in the case of fraud or willful misconduct, no Member, Participant, Trustee,
officer, employee, or agent, as such, of CalTRUST who is made a party to any suit or proceeding
to enforce any such liability, shall be held to any personal liability. The debts, liabilities and
obligations of CalTRUST shall not be the debts, liabilities and obligations of any Member,
Participant, Trustee, officer, employee or agent of CalTRUST, unless otherwise provided in this
Agreement; provided, however, that in such case, such debts, liabilities and obligations shall be
limited to the value of CalTRUST’s assets. Nothing contained in this Section 10.1 shall release
the Investment Advisor, the Custodian or any of their respective officers, employees or agents
from personal liability in connection with their engagement by or services to CalTRUST.
Section 10.2 Indemnification of Participants in Shares Program. CalTRUST shall
indemnify and hold each Participant harmless from and against all claims and liabilities to which
such Participant may become subject by reason of its being or having been a Participant in the
22
LA1 609347
Shares Program and shall reimburse such Participant for all legal and other expenses reasonably
incurred by it in connection with any such claim or liability; provided, however, that: (a) such
Participant was acting in accordance with all legal and policy requirements and investment
objectives applicable to such Participant, including any limitations that the Participant has
adopted or is subject to which are more restrictive than state law, (b) such indemnity or
reimbursement shall be made from assets (or proceeds thereof or income therefrom) of the one or
more Series of Shares of CalTRUST in respect of which such claim or liability arose and not
from the assets (or proceeds or income therefrom) of any other Series of Shares of CalTRUST,
and (c) no indemnification shall be made for any Participant’s negligence or willful misconduct.
The rights accruing to a Participant under this Section 10.2 shall not exclude any other right to
which such Participant may be lawfully entitled, nor shall anything herein contained restrict the
right of CalTRUST to indemnify or reimburse a Participant in any appropriate situation even
though not specifically provided herein.
Section 10.3 Bad Faith of Trustees and Others. No Trustee, officer or employee of
CalTRUST shall be liable to CalTRUST, or to any Member, Participant, Trustee, officer,
employee or agent thereof for any action or failure to act, except for his or her own bad faith,
willful misfeasance, gross negligence or reckless disregard of duty (collectively, “Bad Faith”).
Section 10.4 Indemnification of Trustees and Others from Third-Party Actions.
CalTRUST shall indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party
to any proceeding (other than an action by or in the right of CalTRUST) by reason of the fact
that such person is or was a Trustee, officer or employee of CalTRUST, against expenses,
judgments, fines, settlements and other amounts actually and reasonably incurred in connection
with such proceeding, if it is determined that such person acted in good faith and reasonably
believed: (i) in the case of conduct in his or her official capacity as a Trustee of CalTRUST, that
his or her conduct was in CalTRUST’s best interests, (ii) in all other cases, that his or her
conduct was at least not opposed to CalTRUST’s best interests, and (iii) in the case of a criminal
proceeding, that he or she had no reasonable cause to believe the conduct of such person was
unlawful. The termination of any proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction or upon
a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent shall not of itself create a presumption that the person
did not act in good faith and in a manner that such person reasonably believed to be in the best
interests of CalTRUST or that such person had reasonable cause to believe such person’s
conduct was unlawful.
Section 10.5 Indemnification of Trustees and Others for Successful Defense. To the extent
that a Trustee, officer or employee of CalTRUST has been successful on the merits in defense of
any proceeding referred to in Section 10.4 or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein,
before the court or other body before which the proceeding was brought, such person shall be
indemnified against expenses actually and reasonably incurred in connection therewith.
Section 10.6 Advance of Expenses. Expenses incurred in defending any proceeding may be
advanced by CalTRUST before the final disposition of the proceeding upon a written
undertaking by or on behalf of the Trustee, officer or employee of CalTRUST, to repay the
amount of the advance if it is ultimately determined that he or she is not entitled to
indemnification, together with at least one of the following as a condition to the advance: (i)
security for the undertaking; or (ii) the existence of insurance protecting CalTRUST against
23
LA1 609347
losses arising by reason of any lawful advances; or (iii) a determination by a majority of the
Trustees who are not parties to the proceeding (“Non-Interested Trustees”), or by independent
legal counsel in a written opinion, based on a review of readily available facts, that there is
reason to believe that such person ultimately will be found entitled to indemnification.
Section 10.7 Exclusions and Limitations of Indemnification of Trustees and Others.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, no indemnification or advance shall be made under Sections 10.4
to 10.6:
(a) Bad Faith. For any liability arising by reason of Bad Faith of a Trustee, officer
or employee of CalTRUST.
(b) Improper Personal Benefit. In respect of any claim, issue, or matter as to which
a Trustee, officer or employee of CalTRUST shall have been adjudged to be liable on the basis
that personal benefit was improperly received by him or her, whether or not the benefit resulted
from an action taken in such person’s official capacity.
(c) Otherwise Prohibited. In any circumstances where it appears that it would be
inconsistent with any condition expressly imposed by a court, any provision of this Agreement,
or any agreement in effect at the time of accrual of the alleged cause of action asserted in the
proceeding in which the expenses were incurred or other amounts were paid which prohibits or
otherwise limits indemnification or advance.
(d) Limited to CalTRUST’s Assets. In any amount, individually or in the aggregate,
that exceeds the value of CalTRUST’s assets. If there are concurrent indemnifications of
multiple Participants under this Article IX, such indemnifications shall be made on a pro rata
basis up to the value of CalTRUST’s assets.
Section 10.8 Obligations under Law. Notwithstanding anything herein or in the Investment
Advisory Agreement to the contrary, nothing herein or therein is intended to relieve any Member
or Participant of any obligation it has under State or Federal law to monitor, review, evaluate or
provide oversight with respect to the Shares Program, the Investment Advisor, or its participation
in CalTRUST.
Section 10.9 Required Approval. No indemnification or advance shall be made under
Sections 10.4 to 10.6 unless and until it is determined, by a majority of the Non-Interested
Trustees, or by independent legal counsel in a written opinion, based on a review of readily
available facts, that indemnification of a Trustee, officer, employee or agent of CalTRUST is
proper in the circumstances because such person has met the applicable standard of conduct set
forth in Sections 10.4 to 10.6, as applicable, and such indemnification is not excluded by reason
of Section 10.7.
Section 10.10 Insurance. CalTRUST shall purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of each
Trustee, officer, employee or agent of CalTRUST against any liability asserted against or
incurred by such person in such capacity or arising out of such person’s status as such, but only
to the extent that CalTRUST would have the power to indemnify such person against that
liability hereunder, unless CalTRUST determines that such insurance is not cost effective for
CalTRUST or is otherwise impracticable.
24
LA1 609347
Section 10.11 Fiduciaries of Employee Benefit Plan. This Article X does not provide
indemnification or release from liability with respect to any proceeding against any trustee,
investment advisor or other fiduciary of an employee benefit plan in such person’s capacity as
such, even though such person may also be a Trustee, officer, employee or agent of CalTRUST.
Nothing contained in this Article X shall limit any right to indemnification to which such a
trustee, investment advisor, or other fiduciary may be entitled by contract or otherwise which
shall be enforceable to the extent permitted by applicable law other than this Article X.
Section 10.12 No Duty of Investigation and Notice in CalTRUST Instruments. No
purchaser, lender, transfer agent, record keeper or other person dealing with any Trustee, officer,
employee or agent of CalTRUST shall be bound to make any inquiry concerning the validity of
any transaction purporting to be made by such Trustee, officer, employee or agent or be liable for
the application of money or property paid, loaned, or delivered to or on the order of such Trustee,
officer, employee or agent. Every obligation, contract, instrument, certificate, Share or other
security of CalTRUST and undertaking, and every other document executed in connection with
CalTRUST, shall be conclusively presumed to have been executed or done by the executors
thereof only in their capacity as Trustees under this Agreement or in their capacity as officers,
employees or agents of CalTRUST. Every written obligation, contract, instrument, certificate,
Share or other security of CalTRUST or undertaking made or issued by any Trustee shall recite
that it is executed by such Trustee not individually, but in the capacity as Trustee under this
Agreement, and that the obligations of any such instruments are not binding upon any of the
Trustees, Members or Participants individually, but bind only CalTRUST property, but the
omission of such recital shall not operate to bind the Trustees, Members or Participants
individually.
Section 10.13 Reliance on Experts. Each Trustee, officer, employee and agent of CalTRUST
shall, in the performance of his or her duties, be fully protected with regard to any act or any
failure to act resulting from reliance in good faith upon the books of account or other records of
CalTRUST, upon an opinion of counsel, or upon reports made to CalTRUST by any of its
officers or employees or by the investment adviser, administrator, transfer agent, record keeper,
custodian, distributor accountants, appraisers or other experts or consultants selected with
reasonable care by the Trustees, officers, employees or agents of CalTRUST.
Section 10.14 Immunity from Liability. All of the privileges and immunities from liability,
all exemptions from laws, ordinances and rules, and all pension, relief, disability, workmen’s
compensation, and other benefits which apply to the activity of the trustees, officers, employees
or agents of the Members when performing their functions within the territorial limits of their
respective Public Agencies, shall apply to them to the same degree and extent while engaged in
the performance of any of their functions and duties associated with CalTRUST.
Section 10.15 Further Restriction of Duties and Liabilities. Without limiting the foregoing
provisions of this Article X, the Trustees, officers, employees and Members of CalTRUST shall
in no event have any greater duties or liabilities than those imposed by applicable law as shall be
in effect from time to time.

INFORMATION STATEMENT
FOR THE SHARES PROGRAM
FEBRUARY 24, 2005
(REVISED SEPTEMBER 11, 2013)
1100 K STREET, SUITE 101
SACRAMENTO, CALIFORNIA 95814
TELEPHONE: 888-422-8778
Information Statement -2-
SUMMARY OF THIS INFORMATION STATEMENT
The following is only a summary of the information that appears elsewhere in this
Information Statement (the "Information Statement") for the Shares Program (as
hereinafter defined) and in the Joint Exercise of Powers Agreement (the "Agreement,"
which is provided separately) of the Investment Trust of California, doing business as
CalTRUST ("CalTRUST"). All capitalized terms used, but not otherwise defined,
herein shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Agreement. Prospective
Members of or Participants in CalTRUST should consult their own advisers as to the
consequences of participation in CalTRUST and investment through the Shares Program.
This Information Statement provides detailed information about CalTRUST. Please read
it carefully and retain it for future reference.
CalTRUST Investment Trust of California, doing business as CalTRUST, is
a California joint powers authority that has been established by its
members ("Members") pursuant to the Agreement. CalTRUST's
principal executive office is 1100 K Street, Suite 101, Sacramento,
California 95814 and its telephone number is (888) 422-8778.
CalTRUST is subject to the California Joint Exercise of Powers
Act.
Members Each Member must be a California "Public Agency" as that term is
defined in Section 6509.7 of Title 1, Division 7, Chapter 5, Article 1
of the California Government Code (the "Joint Exercise of Powers
Act"), which, as of the date of this Information Statement, is defined
as "the federal government or any federal department or agency,
this state, another state or any state department or agency, a
county, county board of education, county superintendent of schools,
city, public corporation, public district, or regional transportation
commission of the State of California or another state, or any joint
powers authority formed pursuant to Article 1 of the Joint Exercise
of Powers Act by any of these agencies," and includes "a nonprofit
corporation whose membership is confined to public agencies or
public officials."
Each Member is also either a political subdivision of a state, or an
agency, authority, or instrumentality of the United States, a state
or any political subdivision of a state, as those terms are used in the
Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act").
Participants Each participant ("Participant") must be a California Public
Agency, as that term is defined in Section 6509.7 of the Joint
Exercise of Powers Act, which, as of the date of this Information
Statement, is defined as "the federal government or any federal
department or agency, this state, another state or any state
department or agency, a county, county board of education,
Information Statement -3-
county superintendent of schools, city, public corporation, public
district, or regional transportation commission of the State of
California or another state, or any joint powers authority formed
pursuant to Article 1 of the Joint Exercise of Powers Act by any of
these agencies," and includes "a nonprofit corporation whose
membership is confined to public agencies or public officials."
Purpose The purpose of CalTRUST is to consolidate investment activities
of its Participants and thereby reduce duplication, achieve
economies of scale and carry out coherent and consolidated
investment strategies through the issuance of shares of beneficial
interest in investments purchased by CalTRUST (the "Shares
Program"). The California Government Code provides that Public
Agencies may purchase shares of beneficial interest issued by a joint
powers authority, such as CalTRUST, organized pursuant to Section
6509.7 of the Act.
All money not required for the immediate needs of a Public Agency
may be invested in certain investments described in this
Information Statement. However, the California Government Code
limits the amount of surplus money of a Public Agency that may be
invested in such investments. Funds consisting of tax-exempt bond
proceeds may be subject to investment restrictions, arbitrage
management and rebate requirements under federal tax laws. Public
Agencies seeking to invest tax-exempt bond proceeds should
consult professional advisers familiar with those requirements to
determine whether investing through the Shares Series is
appropriate. CalTRUST reserves the right to prohibit the
investment of bond proceeds or limit the investment of bond
proceeds by a Public Agency to less than 10% of the net asset value
of a Series of Shares.
Series CalTRUST currently offers four accounts or series of Shares to
provide Public Agencies with a convenient method of pooling
funds, (i) the "CalTRUST Short-Term Fund" Series, (ii) the
"CalTRUST Medium-Term Fund" Series, (iii) the "CalTRUST
Long-Term Fund" Series, and (iv) the Wells Fargo Advantage
Funds Heritage Heritage Money Market Fund, Select Class shares,
offered to California Public Agencies through CalTRUST as the
“CalTRUST Heritage Money Market Fund” (each, a "Series" and
collectively, the "Series").
Investment
Objectives
Each Series seeks to attain as high a level of current income as is
consistent with the preservation of principal. The funds in each
Series will be invested in only fixed-income oriented investments
permitted in accordance with Sections 53601 and 53635 of the
Information Statement -4-
California Government Code. The CalTRUST Short-Term Fund
will have a target portfolio duration of 0 to 2 years. The
CalTRUST Medium-Term Fund will have a target portfolio duration
of 1-1/2 to 3-1/2 years. The CalTRUST Long-Term Fund will
have a target portfolio duration of 5 to 7 years. The CalTRUST
Heritage Money Market Fund has a maximum dollar-weighted
average maturity of 60 days, and a maximum dollar-weighted
average life of 120 days, in accordance with Rule 2a-7 of the
Investment Company Act of 1940.
Risks The principal risks of investing through the Shares Program,
which could adversely affect the market value, yield and total return
of a Series of Shares, include market risk, interest rate risk, credit
risk, issuer risk, liquidity risk, mortgage risk and management risk.
These risks are discussed in more detail later. The values of the
Shares of a Series change in response to movements in interest
rates. If rates rise, the values of debt securities generally fall. The
longer the average duration of a Series' investment portfolio, the
greater the potential change in value. The values of the Shares of a
Series may also decline in response to events affecting the issuer of
any securities held in the applicable Series or its credit rating. The
value of some mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities in
which funds attributable to a Series of Shares may be invested
also may fall because of unanticipated levels of principal
prepayments that can occur when interest rates decline.
The Shares in the CalTRUST Short-Term Fund, CalTRUST
Medium-Term Fund and CalTRUST Long-Term Fund are
not registered under any federal or state securities law.
Neither CalTRUST, the CalTRUST Short-Term Fund,
CalTRUST Medium-Term Fund, nor the CalTRUST Long-
Term Fund is registered under the Investment Company Act
of 1940 (the 1940 Act). For that reason, CalTRUST, the
CalTRUST Short-Term Fund, the CalTRUST Medium-Term
Fund, and the CalTRUST Long-Term Fund are not subject to
the various protections of the 1940 Act, which apply to
certain pooled vehicles such as money market funds and
other mutual funds.
The shares in the CalTRUST Heritage Money Market Fund
are registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission
(SEC) under the provisions of Rule 2a-7 of the Investment
Company Act of 1940. Additional information regarding the
CalTRUST Heritage Money Market Fund can be found in the
Wells Fargo Advantage Funds Heritage Money Market Fund
Select Class shares fund prospectus, available online at:

Net Asset
Value
The net asset value of the CalTRUST Short-Term Fund is
calculated daily. The net asset values of the CalTRUST Medium-
Term Fund and the CalTRUST Long-Term Fund are calculated
daily, although shares in these funds are redeemed once per month
on the last Business Day of the month. The net asset value of the
CalTRUST Heritage Money Market Fund is calculated multiple
times daily (as of July 1, 2013, seven times per day). Income from
each Series is reinvested in the applicable Series.

Information Statement -8-
SECTION II
INVESTMENT STRATEGIES AND OBJECTIVES
A. PURPOSE: WHO MAY INVEST
CalTRUST is a separate joint powers authority and public agency established by
its members ("Members") under the provisions of Section 6509.7 of Title 1,
Division 7, Chapter 5, Article 1 of the California Government Code (the "Joint
Exercise of Powers Act") to provide Public Agencies with consolidated
investment activities and thereby reduce duplication, achieve economies of scale
and carry out coherent and consolidated investment strategies. Members and
Participants must each be a California "Public Agency" as that term is defined in
Section 6509.7 of the Joint Exercise of Powers Act, which, as of the date of this
Information Statement, is defined as "the federal government or any federal
department or agency, this state, another state or any state department or agency, a
county, county board of education, county superintendent of schools, city, public
corporation, public district, or regional transportation commission of the State of
California or another state, or any joint powers authority formed pursuant to
Article 1 of the Joint Exercise of Powers Act by any of these agencies," and
includes "a nonprofit corporation whose membership is confined to public
agencies or public officials."
All money not required for the immediate needs of Public Agencies may be
invested in certain investments described in this Information Statement.
However, the California Government Code limits the amount of surplus money
of a Public Agency that may be invested in such investments.
Funds consisting of tax-exempt bond proceeds may be subject to
investment restrictions, arbitrage management and rebate requirements
under federal tax laws. Although CalTRUST does not initially intend to permit
Participants to invest tax-exempt bond proceeds to the extent that the bond
proceeds of a Participant would constitute greater than 10% of the assets in any
Series, if the 10% threshold is later or inadvertently reached with respect to a
Series, such Series will no longer qualify as an "external" commingled fund with
the consequence that Participants will be deemed to have received, for
purposes of arbitrage rebate and yield calculations, phantom income equal to
the reasonable administrative costs related to overhead and other indirect costs
that would otherwise have been deductible for such calculations. Public Agencies
that invest tax-exempt bond proceeds should consult professional advisers
familiar with those requirements to determine whether investing through
the Shares Program is appropriate.
Information Statement -9-
B. SERIES BENCHMARKS
CalTRUST currently offers four accounts or series of Shares to provide Public
Agencies with a convenient method of pooling funds, (i) the "CalTRUST Short-
Term Fund" Series, (ii) the "CalTRUST Medium-Term Fund" Series, (iii) the
"CalTRUST Long-Term Fund" Series, and (iv) the CalTRUST Heritage Money
Market Fund (each, a "Series" and collectively, the "Series"). All Shares issued
hereunder, including without limitation, Shares issued in connection with a
dividend in Shares or a division of Shares, shall be fully paid and nonassessable.
Each Series of Shares will be benchmarked against a fund or index believed by
the Investment Advisor to be comparable in investment strategy and duration.
The current benchmarks are described below. If a benchmark fund or index
were to modify its strategy or duration in the future, the Investment Advisor
could select alternate benchmarks with which to compare a Series' performance.
Short-Term Fund Benchmark:
The performance benchmarks for the Short-Term Fund are the investment funds
specified below:
Short-Term Fund: Local Agency Investment Fund (“LAIF”)
LAIF is an investment alternative for California’s local governments and special
districts, which was enabled under Section 16429.1 et seq. of the California
Government Code. LAIF invests in certain securities authorized by Sections
16430 and 16480.4 of the California Government Code. In 2006, LAIF had
$16.7 billion under management. LAIF conducts a market valuation of its
investments each month.
Barclays Short-term Gov/Corp Index
The Barclays Short-term Gov/Corp Index is an unmanaged index consisting of the
cumulative daily total returns of US Treasuries, federal agency securities and
investment-grade corporate bonds with maturities between one and twelve
months.
The index is re-balanced on the last calendar day of the month. Issues that meet
the qualifying criteria are included in the index for the following month. Issues
that no longer meet the criteria during the course of the month remain in the index
until the next month-end rebalancing at which point they are dropped from the
index.
An index is not available for direct investment and does not reflect the deduction
of fees and expenses.
Information Statement -10-
Medium-Term Fund Benchmark:
The performance benchmark for the Medium-term Fund is the unmanaged index
specified below:
Medium-Term Fund: Bank of America Merrill Lynch 1-3 Year AAA-A
US Corporate & Government Index
The BofA Merrill Lynch 1-3 Year AAA-A US Corporate & Government Index is
a subset of The BofA Merrill Lynch US Corporate & Government Index
including all securities with a remaining term to final maturity less than 3 years
and rated AAA through A3, inclusive.
The BofA Merrill Lynch US Corporate & Government Index tracks the
performance of US dollar denominated investment grade debt publicly issued in
the US domestic market, including US Treasury, US agency, foreign government,
supranational and corporate securities.
For the ‘A or better’ or AAA-A indices, qualifying securities must have a AAA
through A3 rating (based on an average of Moody’s, S&P and Fitch). In addition,
qualifying securities must have at least one year remaining term to final maturity,
a fixed coupon schedule and a minimum amount outstanding of $1 billion for US
Treasuries and $250 million for all other securities. Bills, inflation-linked debt
and strips are excluded from the Index; however, original issue zero coupon
bonds are included in the Index and the amounts outstanding of qualifying coupon
securities are not reduced by any portions that have been stripped. 144a securities,
both with and without registration rights, and corporate pay-in-kind securities,
including toggle notes, qualify for inclusion. Callable perpetual securities qualify
provided they are at least one year from the first call date. Fixed-to-floating rate
securities also qualify provided they are callable within the fixed rate period and
are at least one year from the last call prior to the date the bond transitions from a
fixed to a floating rate security. Eurodollar bonds (USD bonds not issued in the
US domestic market), tax-exempt US municipal, warrant-bearing, dividends-
received-deduction-eligible (DRD-eligible) and defaulted securities are excluded
from the Index.
An index is not available for direct investment and does not reflect the deduction
of fees and expenses.
Long-Term Fund Benchmark:
The performance benchmark for the Long-Term Fund is the unmanaged index
specified below:
Information Statement -11-
Long-Term Fund: As of the date of this Information Statement, a
benchmark had not yet been selected for the
LongTerm Fund, which has yet to be activated by
the CalTRUST Board of Trustees.
There can be no assurance that any Series will perform as well as or better
than its designated benchmark fund or index.
CalTRUST Heritage Money Market Fund Benchmark:
The performance benchmark for the CalTRUST Heritage Money Market Fund is
the unmanaged index specified below:
Lipper Institutional Money Market Funds Average
The Lipper Institutional Money Market Funds Average (the Lipper Average) is an
average of funds that invest in high quality financial instruments rated in top two
grades with dollar-weighted average maturities of less than 90 days.
Funds included in the Lipper Average require high minimum investments and have
lower total expense ratios relative to other money market funds. These funds
intend to keep a constant net asset value.
The Lipper Average is not available for direct investment and does not include the
effect of sales charges on total return.
C. MINIMUM PURCHASE
A Participant must purchase a total of at least $250,000 of Shares through one or
more Series in order to participate.
D. INVESTMENT BENEFITS
The Investment Advisor seeks to provide the following benefits to purchasers of
Shares in any Series:
Preservation of Principal. Preserve principal to the extent reasonably
possible in accordance with the applicable investment strategy by investing
only in fixed-income oriented Authorized Investments, and in accordance
with an investment strategy designed to preserve capital.
Liquidity. Provide liquidity so that Participants have ready access to their
Shares to the extent described in this Information Statement.
Income. Provide as high a level of current income in each Series as is
consistent with preserving principal and maintaining liquidity.
Information Statement -12-
Professional Management. Investments are managed by investment
professionals that follow both general economic and current market
conditions affecting interest rates and the value of fixed-income oriented
investments.
Diversification. Each Participant in a Series will own Shares in a
diversified portfolio of high quality securities.
Accounting, Safekeeping and Separate Series. The Participants'
investments are accounted for in compliance with governmental
accounting and auditing requirements, and Participants will be provided
with all necessary information to do the bookkeeping and safekeeping
associated with the ownership of the Shares. Participants will have secure
online access to their accounts, as well as being provided with monthly
statements.
There can be no assurance that the investment objectives of any particular
Series will be achieved.
E. AUTHORIZED INVESTMENTS
The securities purchased by CalTRUST through the Investment Advisor will
be comprised exclusively of the investments described below (the "Authorized
Investments"). These investments are authorized investments under the California
Government Code, as may be amended from time to time, for money not required
for the immediate needs of Public Agencies. The California Government Code
limits the amount of surplus money of a Public Agency which may be invested in
certain of the investments described below. Each Participant shall be
responsible for monitoring the aggregate amount of its investments in any of
these kinds of investments to assure its own compliance with the California
Government Code. None of the Investment Advisor, the Administrator or
CalTRUST shall be responsible for such monitoring. The Board may revise this
Investment Policy from time to time subject to Section 4.2(a) of the
Agreement. Pursuant to the Agreement, the Board shall cause the amended
Investment Policy to be delivered to each Participant.
1. United States Treasury notes, bonds, bills, or certificates of indebtedness, or
those for which the faith and credit of the United States are pledged for the
payment of principal and interest.
2. Registered state warrants or treasury notes or bonds of this state, including
bonds payable solely out of the revenues from a revenue-producing property
owned, controlled, or operated by the state or by a department, board, agency,

guaranteed as to principal and interest by federal agencies or United States
government-sponsored enterprises.
5. Bankers acceptances otherwise known as bills of exhcnage or time drafts that
are drawn on and accepted by a commercial bank. Purchases of bankers
acceptances may not exceed 180 days’ maturity or 40 percent of the assets in
a Series. However, no more than 30 percent of the assets in a Series may be
bankers acceptances of any one commercial bank.
6. Commercial paper of “Prime” quality of the highest ranking or of the highest
letter and number rating as provided for by a nationally recognized statistical-
rating organization (“NRSRO”). The entity that issues the commercial paper
shall meet all of the following criteria in either clause (a) or (b): (a)(i) is
organized and operating in the United States as a general corporation, (ii)
has total assets in excess of five hundred million dollars ($500,000,000) and
(iii) has debt other than commercial paper, if any, that is rated "A" or higher
by a NRSRO; or (b)(i) is organized within the United States as a special
purpose corporation, trust, or limited liability company, (ii) has
programwide credit enhancements including, but not limited to,
overcollateralization, letters of credit, or surety bond and (iii) has

7. Negotiable certificates of deposit issued by a nationally or state-chartered
bank, a savings association or a federal association (as defined by Section
5102 of the California Financial Code), or a state or federal credit union, or by
a state-licensed branch of a foreign bank. Purchases of negotiable certificates
of deposit may not exceed 30 percent of the assets in a Series. Purchases shall
not exceed the shareholder's equity of any depository bank. Shareholder's
equity shall be determined in accordance with Section 118 of the California
Financial Code, but shall be deemed to include capital notes and debentures.
Purchases shall not exceed the total of the net worth of any savings
association or federal association, except that deposits not exceeding a total of
Information Statement -14-
five hundred thousand dollars ($500,000) may be made to a savings

depository, if such deposits are insured or secured as required by law.
Purchases of negotiable certificates of deposit from any regularly chartered
credit union shall not exceed the total of the unimpaired capital and surplus of
the credit union, as defined by rule of the California Commissioner of
Financial Institutions, except that the deposit to any credit union share account
in an amount not exceeding five hundred thousand dollars ($500,000) may be

pursuant to Section 14858 of the California Financial Code or are secured as
required by law. Purchases of negotiable certificates of deposit issued by a
state or federal credit union are prohibited if a member of the legislative body
of any Participant, or any person with investment decisionmaking authority
for any Participant, also serves on the board of directors, or any committee
appointed by the board of directors, or the credit committee or the supervisory
committee of the state or federal credit union issuing the negotiable
certificates of deposit.
8. Investments in repurchase agreements of Authorized Investments as long as
the agreements are subject to the requirements of California Government
Code Section 53601(i), including the delivery requirements specified in
California Government Code Section 53601(i). “Repurchase agreement”
means a purchase of securities by the local agency pursuant to an agreement
by which the counterparty seller will repurchase the securities on or before a
specified date and for a specified amount and the counterparty will deliver the
underlying securities to the local agency by book entry, physical delivery, or
by third-party custodial agreement. The transfer of underlying securities to
the counterparty bank’s customer book-entry account may be used for book-
entry delivery. Investments in repurchase agreements may be made, on any
Authorized Investments, when the term of the agreement does not exceed one
year. The market value of securities that underlay a repurchase agreement
shall be valued at 102 percent or greater of the funds borrowed against those
securities and the value shall be adjusted no less than quarterly. Since the
market value of the underlying securities is subject to daily market
fluctuations, the investments in repurchase agreements shall be in compliance
if the value of the underlying securities is brought back up to 102 percent no
later than the next business day.
9. Medium-term notes, defined as all corporate and depository institution debt
securities with a maximum remaining maturity of five years or less, issued by
corporations organized and operating within the United States or by
depository institutions licensed by the United States or any state and operating
within the United States. Notes eligible for investment under this subsection
shall be rated “A” or better by a nationally recognized rating service.
Purchases of medium-term notes (not including other Authorized Investments)
may not exceed 30 percent of the assets in a Series.
Information Statement -15-
10. Shares of beneficial interest issued by diversified management companies that
are money market funds registered with the Securities and Exchange
Commission under the Investment Company Act of 1940. Such companies
shall have attained the highest ranking or the highest letter and numerical
rating provided by not less than two NRSROs or retained an investment
adviser registered or exempt from registration with the Securities and
Exchange Commission with not less than five years’ experience managing
money market mutual funds with assets under management in excess of five
hundred million dollars ($500,000,000). The purchase price of shares of
beneficial interest purchased pursuant to this subsection shall not include any
commission that the companies may charge and shall not exceed 20 percent of
the assets in a Series.
11. Notes, bonds, or other obligations that are at all times secured by a valid first
priority security interest in securities of the types listed by California
Government Code Section 53651 as eligible securities for the purpose of
securing local agency deposits having a market value at least equal to that
required by California Government Code Section 53652 for the purpose of
securing local agency deposits. The securities serving as collateral shall be
placed by delivery or book entry into the custody of a trust company or the
trust department of a bank which is not affiliated with the issuer of the secured
obligation, and the security interest shall be perfected in accordance with the
requirements of the Uniform Commercial Code or federal regulations
applicable to the types of securities in which the security interest is granted.
12. Any mortgage passthrough security, collateralized mortgage obligation,
mortgage-backed or other pay-through bond, equipment lease-backed
certificate, consumer receivable passthrough certificate, or consumer
receivable-backed bond of a maximum of five years maturity. Securities
eligible for investment under this subsection shall be issued by an issuer
having an “A” or higher rating for the issuer’s debt as provided by a nationally
recognized rating service and rated in a rating category of “AA” or its
equivalent or better by a nationally recognized rating service. Purchase of
securities authorized by this subsection may not exceed 20 percent of the
assets in a Series.
Funds invested through a Series will be invested by the Investment Advisor in
accordance with the prudent investor standard of the California Government
Code. Any investments consisting of notes, bonds, bills, certificates of
indebtedness, warrants, or registered warrants shall be legal investments for
savings banks in the State of California. Funds invested through a Series will not
be invested in any inverse floaters, range notes or mortgage-derived, interest-only
strips, or in any security that could result in zero interest accrual if held to
maturity.
Information Statement -16-
The authorizing statute, charter, or bylaws of a Participant or the trust indenture or
ordinance or resolution under which the debt obligations of a Participant are
issued or its funds are invested may contain investment restrictions which prohibit
or otherwise limit investment in one or more of the above-described investments.
Accordingly, Participants should consult with their legal counsel and/or
financial adviser regarding the legality of investing funds through the Shares
Program.
CalTRUST is not registered as an investment company under the Investment
Company Act of 1940 and, accordingly, is not subject to the provisions of that
Act and the rules thereunder, including the protective rules relating to
registered money market funds and other types of mutual funds.
F. DURATION OF SERIES AND MATURITY OF INVESTMENTS
Each Series seeks to attain as high a level of current income as is consistent with
the preservation of principal. Each Series will invest in only fixed-income
oriented Authorized Investments. The Short-Term Fund seeks a target portfolio
duration of 0 to 2 years. The Medium-Term Fund seeks a target portfolio
duration of 11/2 to 31/2 years. The Long-Term Fund seeks a target portfolio
duration of 5 to 7 years. The CalTRUST Heritage Money Market Fund has a
maximum dollar-weighted average maturity of 60 days and a maximum dollar-
weighted average life of 120 days, in accordance with Rule 2a-7 of the Investment
Company Act of 1940..
Each Series invests in a diversified portfolio of fixed-income oriented investments
of varying maturities with a different portfolio “duration.” Duration is a measure
of the expected life of a fixed-income oriented investment that was developed as a
more precise alternative to the concept of “term to maturity.” Duration
incorporates a bond’s yield, coupon interest payments, final maturity, call and put
features and prepayment exposure into one measure. Traditionally, a fixed-
income oriented investment’s “term to maturity” has been used to determine the
sensitivity of the investment’s price to changes in interest rates (which is the
“interest rate risk” or “volatility” of the investment). However, “term to
maturity” measures only the time until a fixed-income oriented investment
provides its final payment, taking no account of the pattern of the investment’s
payments prior to maturity. Duration is used in the management of a Series as a
tool to measure interest rate risk. For example, a Series with a portfolio duration
of two years would be expected to change in value 2% for every 1% move in
interest rates
G. RISKS
1. General. Because the values of the Shares of a Series will change with
market conditions, so will the value of a Participant’s investment through the
Shares program. A Participant could lose money on an investment through
Information Statement -17-
the Shares Program or an investment through the Shares Program could
underperform other investments. The Medium-Term Fund and Long-Term
Fund have the potential for greater return and loss than the Short-Term Fund.
The Series are subject primarily to interest rate and credit risk. Interest rate
risk is the potential for a decline in bond prices due to rising interest rates. In
general, bond prices vary inversely with interest rates. The change in bond
price depends on several factors, including the bond’s maturity date. In
general, bonds with longer maturities are more sensitive to changes in interest
rates than bonds with shorter maturities. Credit risk is the possibility that a
bond issuer will fail to make timely payments of interest or principal to a
Series.
2. Obligations of Agencies or Instrumentalities of the United States Government.
Certain short-term obligations of agencies or instrumentalities of the United
States Government purchased with funds invested through the Series may
only be backed by the issuing agency or instrumentality and may not be
backed by the full faith and credit of the United States Government. For
example, securities issued by the Federal Home Loan Banks and the Federal
Home Loan Mortgage Corporation are supported only by the credit of the
agency or instrumentality that issued them, and not by the United States
Government, and securities issued by the Federal Farm Credit System and the
Federal National Mortgage Association are supported by the agency’s or
instrumentality’s right to borrow money from the U.S. Treasury under certain
circumstances
H. INVESTMENT RESTRICTIONS
The Board has adopted the following investment restrictions for the Shares
Program. Funds invested through a Series will not be used to:
1. Purchase any securities other than those described under “Authorized
Investments,” unless California law at some future date redefines the types of
securities which are legal investments for all classes of Participants, in which
case the permitted investments for the Series may be changed by the Board to
conform to California law.
2. Invest in securities of any issuer in which a Trustee, officer, employee, agent
or adviser of CalTRUST is an officer, director or 5% shareholder unless such
investment is periodically authorized by resolution adopted by the Board,
excluding officers, directors or 5% shareholders of such issuer.
3. Make loans, except that repurchase agreements may be entered into as
specified under “Authorized Investments.”
4. Borrow money or pledge, hypothecate or mortgage the assets in a Series or
otherwise engage in any transaction that has the effect of creating leverage
Information Statement -18-
with respect to a Series; provided, however, that short-term credits necessary
for the settlement of securities trades may be used, and forward purchases and
sales of securities that are expected to settle beyond a normal “T+3” basis may
be entered into.
5. Purchase the securities of any issuer (other than obligations issued and
guaranteed as to principal and interest by the government of the United States,
its agencies or instrumentalities) if, as a result, more than 10% of the total
assets in a series would be invested in the securities of any one issuer.
I. APPLICATION OF PERCENTAGES
Any percentage limitation or rating requirement described under “Investment
Strategies and Objectives” will be applied at the time of purchase.
J. NOTICE TO PARTICIPANTS OF MATERIAL CHANGE TO INVESTMENT
STRATEGIES AND OBJECTIVES OR INVESTMENT POLICY
The Board may revise the Investment Policy from time to time subject to Section
4.2(a) of the Agreement; and may revise the investment strategies and objectives
of any Series from time to time. Any material change in the investment strategies
and objectives for any Series adopted by the Board shall be communicated, in
writing, to each Participant prior to the effective date of such change.
SECTION III
INCOME AND VALUE OF THE SERIES
A. INCOME AND DIVIDENDS OF THE SERIES
Short-Term Fund
As of 1:00 p.m. Pacific time each day that the Custodian is open for business (a
“Business Day”), the net income of the Short-Term Fund is determined and
declared as a dividend to Participants of record as of the close of business on that
day. Shares purchased as of 1:00 p.m. on any Business Day will begin earning
dividends on such date of purchase. Shares will continue to earn dividends until
the Business Day such Shares are redeemed and the funds are wired to the
Participant. Earnings for Saturdays, Sundays and holidays are declared on the
next Business Day. Dividends declared are paid monthly on the last Business
Day of each month and are automatically re-invested in each Series by purchase
of additional Shares of such Series.
Information Statement -19-
Medium-Term Fund and Long-Term Fund
As of 1:00 p.m. Pacific time on the last Business Day of each month, the net
income of the Medium-Term Fund and the Long-Term Fund is determined and
declared as a dividend to Participants of record as of the close of business on that
day. Shares purchased as of the last Business Day of a month will begin earning
dividends for the following month. Shares will continue to earn dividends until
the Business Day such Shares are redeemed and the funds are wired to the
Participant. Dividends declared are paid monthly on the last Business Day of
each month and are automatically re-invested in each Series by purchase of
additional Shares of such Series.
If Shares are redeemed from any Series in any month prior to the payment of
dividends on the last Business Day of such month (including in the case of an
emergency as approved by the Board of Trustees or otherwise), the Participant
shall be entitled to receive a pro rata portion of the dividends such Participant
would otherwise be entitled to receive, up to the date of redemption, which shall
be paid on the last Business Day of such month.
For the purpose of calculating dividends, net income of each Series consists of
interest earned plus or minus any discounts or premiums ratably amortized to the
date of maturity and all realized gains and losses on the sale of securities prior to
maturity, less all accrued expenses of such Series, including the fees described
under “Expenses of the Trust.”
Each Series may attempt to maximize yields through trading to take advantage of
short-term market variations. These policies may result in high portfolio
turnover. However, because the cost of transactions of the type in which the
Series engage is small, a high turnover rate is not expected to affect materially
income or net asset value.
Money Market Fund
As of 1:00 p.m. Pacific time each day that the Custodian is open for business (a
“Business Day”), the net income of the CalTRUST Heritage Money Market Fund
is determined and declared as a dividend to Participants of record as of the close
of business on that day. Shares purchased as of 1:00 p.m. on any Business Day
will begin earning dividends on such date of purchase. Shares will continue to
earn dividends until the Business Day such Shares are redeemed and the funds are
wired to the Participant. Earnings for Saturdays, Sundays and holidays are
declared on the next Business Day. Dividends declared are paid monthly on the
last Business Day of each month and are automatically re-invested in each Series
by purchase of additional Shares of such Series.
Information Statement -20-
B. VALUATION OF SERIES
The net asset value of the Shares of the Short-Term Fund is normally determined
by the Administrator as of 1:00 p.m. Pacific time on each Business Day. The net
asset values of the Shares of the Medium-Term Fund and the Long-Term Fund
are normally determined by the Administrator as of 1:00 p.m. Pacific time on
each Business Day, although shares in these funds are redeemed once per month
on the last Business Day of the month. The net asset value of the shares of the
CalTRUST Heritage Money Market Fund is determined multiple times each
Business Day (as of July 1, 2013, seven times each Business Day).
The net asset value per Share of each Series is computed by dividing the total
value of the securities and other assets of such Series, less any liabilities, by the
total outstanding Shares of such Series. Liabilities include all accrued expenses
and fees of such Series, including the fees described under “Expenses of the
Trust.”
The net asset value per share of each Series normally is determined on the
specified day if banks are open for business and the New York Stock Exchange is
open for trading. With the exception of the value of securities in the CalTRUST
Heritage Money Market Fund, the value of a Series’ portfolio securities is
determined on the basis of the market value of such securities or, if market
quotations are not readily available, at fair value under guidelines established by
the Trustees. Investments with short remaining maturities may be valued at
amortized cost which the Board has determined to equal fair value. Securities in
the CalTRUST Heritage Money Market Fund are valued using the amortized cost
method, in accordance with Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act of
1940. Additional detail regarding the determination of the net asset value of the
shares of the CalTRUST Heritage Money Market Fund can be found in the Wells
Fargo Advantage Funds Heritage Money Market Fund Select Class shares fund
prospectus, available online at:
http://a584.g.akamai.net/f/584/1326/1d/www.wellsfargoadvantagefunds.com/pdf/
prospectus/prospectus_moneymarket_select.pdf
The market value basis for net asset value per Share of each Series may be
affected by general changes in interest rates resulting in increases or decreases in
the value of securities held by such Series. The market value of such securities
will tend to vary inversely to changes in prevailing interest rates. Thus, if interest
rates rise after a security is purchased, such a security, if sold, might be sold at a
price less than its cost. Similarly, if interest rates decline, such a security, if sold,
might be sold at a price greater than its cost. If a security is held to maturity, no
loss or gain is normally realized as a result of these price fluctuations.
Redemptions by Participants could require the sale of portfolio securities prior to
maturity.
Information Statement -21-
The Administrator normally will announce the net asset value of the Shares of the
Short-Term Fund by 9:00 a.m. on the Business Day after it is determined and will
announce the net asset values of the Shares of the Medium-Term Fund and Long-
Term Fund within three Business Days after they are determined.
C. YIELD INFORMATION
Short-Term Fund, Medium-Term Fund & Long-Term Fund
The aggregate and average annual total return, current annualized yield and
effective annual yield of the Short-Term Fund, Medium-Term Fund and Long-
Term Fund may, from time to time, be quoted in reports, literature and
advertisements published by CalTRUST.
Current annualized yield of the Short-Term Fund is computed by averaging the
daily dividend declared by such Series during the prior seven calendar day period,
dividing by the average daily net asset value per Share of such Series over the
same period, and multiplying the result by 365.
Current annualized yield of the Medium-Term Fund and the Long-Term Fund is
computed by averaging the monthly dividend declared by the applicable Series
during the prior months of such calendar year, dividing by the average monthly
net asset value per Share of the applicable Series over the same period, and
multiplying the result by 12.
The “effective annual yield” of each Series, which reflects the value of
compounding and represents the annualization of the current yield with all
dividends reinvested, may also be quoted. Effective annual yield of each Series is
computed by dividing the monthly dividend rate of such Series by 12, adding 1
and raising the sum to the power of 12, and subtracting 1 from the result.
CalTRUST Heritage Money Market Fund
Pursuant to SEC rules governing registered money market funds, the CalTRUST
Heritage Money Market Fund may quote a “7-Day Gross Yield”. The 7-day gross
yield is determined based on the 7 days ended on the last day of the prior month, by
taking the net change, exclusive of capital changes and income other than investment
income, in the value of a hypothetical pre-existing account having a balance of one
share at the beginning of the period and dividing the difference by the value of the
account at the beginning of the base period to obtain the base period return, and then
multiplying the base period return by (365/7) with the resulting yield figure carried to
at least the nearest hundredth of one percent. The 7-day gross yield does not reflect a
deduction of shareholders fees and fund operating expenses.
Additional information regarding the determination and reporting of the “7-Day
Gross Yield” can be found on the SEC website at:
Information Statement -22-
http://www.sec.gov/rules/final/2010/ic-29132.pdf.
The yields of each Series quoted should not be considered a representation of the
yield of such Series in the future, since the yield is not fixed. Actual yields of
each Series will depend on the type, quality, yield and maturities of securities held
by such Series, changes in interest rates, market conditions and other factors.
SECTION IV
INVESTMENTS AND WITHDRAWALS
A. ACCOUNTS
Before funds are invested under the Shares Program, Participants will need to
establish appropriate accounts pursuant to the procedure described under
“Instructions on How to Participate.” Each Participant will have master
account(s) representing the total funds invested through the Short-Term Fund,
Medium-Term Fund, Long-Term Fund, and/or CalTRUST Heritage Money
Market Fund, as applicable, by such Participant.
The Administrator will process investments, withdrawals and transfers only on
Business Days.
B. INVESTMENTS
Investments in a Series can be made by wire transfer of immediately available
funds from the Participant’s bank to the Custodian. However, the Administrator
reserves the right to reject any investment and to limit the size of a Participant’s
account.
Investment in a Series may be through the CalTRUST Online Portal, by following
the steps outlined in the “CalTRUST Online Trading User Guide”, which is
available to all participants at www.caltrust.org, or by following both of the
following steps:
Step 1: Provide the Administrator with the following information, either in
writing by mail, courier service, or facsimile (Attention:
CalTRUST Service Center, 1100 K Street, Suite 101, Sacramento,
California 95814; Fax 252-972-1908), by telephone 888-422-8778,
or via the online portal.
Participant’s account name
Participant’s CalTRUST account number
Amount being wired
Type of wire – Federal Reserve or bank
Information Statement -23-
Name of Participant’s bank sending wire
Step 2: Instruct the Participant’s bank to wire funds as follows (Federal
Reserve wire if possible). Please contact the CalTRUST Customer
Service Center at (888) 422-8778 for wiring instructions.
To receive wiring instructions with respect to the Long-Term
Fund, a Participant should contact the Administrator.
CalTRUST does not charge a fee for receipt of these wires.
However, a Participant’s bank may charge a fee for wiring funds.
Short-Term Fund
Investments will not begin earning income unless and until the Administrator
receives the requisite advance notice and the Custodian receives a Federal
Reserve wire or bank wire convertible to Federal Funds on a same-day basis.
When the Administrator receives the requisite advance notice and the funds are
received by the Custodian, investments will be made and begin earning income on
the Business Day on which funds are received.
Notice will be considered given on a particular Business Day if received by the
Administrator before 1:00 p.m. Pacific time; otherwise it will be considered given
on the next Business Day. Funds will be considered delivered on a particular
Business Day if the wire is received by the Custodian before 1:00 p.m. Pacific
time, otherwise funds will be considered delivered on the next Business Day.
Medium-Term Fund and Long-Term Fund
Funds may be invested in the Medium-Term Fund or the Long-Term Fund only
once per month on the last Business Day of the month; provided, however, that
the Administrator receives at least five Business Days’ prior notice of the
investment (i.e., on or before the fifth to the last Business Day of the month), and
the Custodian receives a Federal Reserve wire or bank wire convertible to Federal
Funds on a same-day basis within five Business Days after such notice is received
by the Administrator (i.e., on or before the last Business Day of the month).
Investments will not begin earning income unless and until the Administrator
receives the requisite advance notice and the funds are received by the
Custodian within the requisite time. When the Administrator receives the
requisite advance notice and the funds are received by the Custodian within the
requisite time, investments will be made and begin earning income for the
following month.
In any particular month, if a Participant gives late notice or transmits late
funds (i.e., the Administrator receives notice of the investment after the fifth to
Information Statement -24-
the last Business Day of such month or the Custodian receives the funds after the
last Business Day of such month), then from the Business Day on which funds
are received until the last Business Day of the following month, such funds
shall be automatically invested in the Short-Term Fund. In any particular

INVESTMENT ADVISOR
A. INVESTMENT ADVISOR
Wells Capital Management, a registered investment advisor with its principal
office at 525 Market Street, 10th Floor, San Francisco, CA 94105, is the
Investment Advisor with respect to the Shares Program. The daily management
of the investment affairs and research relating to the Shares Program is conducted
by or under the supervision of the Investment Advisor.
Wells Capital Management is a wholly owned asset management subsidiary of
Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. Assets under management total over $343 billion, as of
June 30, 2013. Wells Capital Management has a substantial presence in the cash
markets with $131 billion in money market assets under management, as of June
30, 2013, as well as expertise and asset scale in both taxable and tax-exempt short
duration fixed income of $61 billion under management, as of June 30, 2013.
B. ADVISORY SERVICES
The Investment Advisor manages the investment of the assets in each Series,
including the placement of orders for the purchase and sale of investments,
pursuant to an investment advisory agreement with CalTRUST (the “Advisory
Agreement”). The Investment Advisor obtains and evaluates such information
and advice relating to the economy and the securities markets as it considers
necessary or useful to manage continuously the assets of CalTRUST in a manner
consistent with each Series’ investment objectives and policies. The Advisory
Agreement may not be assigned by the Investment Advisor without the consent of
the CalTRUST Board of Trustees; provided, however, that such consent will be
deemed given if a majority of the Board does not object in writing within 60 days
after receiving written notice of a proposed assignment. The Advisory Agreement
may be terminated by either party, at any time and without penalty, upon at least
30 days’ prior written notice to the other party.
C. INVESTMENT TRANSACTIONS
The Investment Advisor is responsible for decisions to buy and sell securities for
CalTRUST and arranges for the execution of security transactions on behalf of
each Series. Purchases of securities are made from dealers, underwriters and
issuers. Sales prior to maturity are made to dealers and other persons. Money
market instruments bought from dealers are generally traded on a “net” basis,
with dealers acting as principal for their own accounts without a stated
commission, although the price of the instrument usually includes a profit to the
dealer. Thus, the Series do not normally incur any brokerage commission
expense on such transactions. Securities purchased in underwritten offerings
Information Statement -32-
include a fixed amount of compensation to the underwriter, generally referred to
as the underwriter’s commission or discount. When securities are purchased or
sold directly from or to an issuer, no commissions or discounts are paid.
The policy of CalTRUST regarding purchases and sales of securities is that
primary consideration will be given to obtaining the most favorable price and
efficient execution of transactions. In seeking to implement this policy, the
Investment Advisor will effect transactions with those dealers whom the
Investment Advisor believes provide the most favorable price and efficient
execution. If the Investment Advisor believes such price and execution can be
obtained from more than one dealer, it may give consideration to placing portfolio
transactions with those dealers who also furnish research and other services to
CalTRUST. Such services may include, but are not limited to, any one or more of
the following: information as to the availability of securities for purchase or sale;
statistical or factual information or opinions pertaining to investments; wire
services; and appraisals or evaluations of portfolio securities. The services
received by the Investment Advisor from dealers may be of benefit to it in the
management of accounts of some or all of its other clients and may not in all cases
benefit CalTRUST directly. While such services are useful and important in
supplementing its own research and facilities, the Investment Advisor believes the
value of such services is not determinable and does not significantly reduce its
expenses. CalTRUST does not reduce the management fee paid to the Investment
Advisor by any amount that may be attributable to the value of such services.

laws of the state of California by execution of a Joint Powers Authority Agreement by
certain Public Agencies as the initial Members of CalTRUST. Additional Public
Agencies may become Members of CalTRUST by approving a resolution to adopt the

The Agreement may be amended by the Board, except to the extent an amendment would
adversely affect (i) the Shares Program in which case the amendment shall be subject to
approval by a majority of the Shares or (ii) one or more Series of Shares, in which case
the amendment shall be subject to approval by a majority of the Shares of any Series
affected by such amendment. Among other things, the Board may also amend this
Agreement without such Participant approval to change the name of CalTRUST or any
Series, to establish and designate additional Series, to supply any omission herein or to
correct or supplement any ambiguous defective or inconsistent provision hereof, or if
they deem it necessary, to conform the Agreement to the requirements of applicable laws
or regulations or to eliminate or reduce any taxes which may be payable by CalTRUST
Information Statement -36-

diminishing or eliminating any approval rights pertaining thereto, except with the vote of
a majority of the Trustees and the approval of the holders of two-thirds (2/3) of the
Shares outstanding and the holders of two-thirds (2/3) of the Shares of any Series affected
by such amendment. Nothing in the Agreement permits its amendment to impair the
exemption from personal liability of the Members, Participants, Trustees, officers,
employees and agents of CalTRUST or to permit assessments upon Participants.

SECTION XII
PARTICIPANT AND TRUSTEE LIABILITY
A. PARTICIPANT LIABILITY
CalTRUST is an entity separate from its Members and the Participants and the
Agreement expressly provides that except in the case of fraud or willful
misconduct, no Member or Participant shall be subject to any personal liability
whatsoever to any person in connection with property or the acts, obligations or
affairs of CalTRUST, and all such persons shall look solely to CalTRUST
property for satisfaction of claims of any nature arising in connection with the
affairs of CalTRUST.
B. LIABILITY OF TRUSTEES AND OTHERS
The Agreement provides that no Trustee, officer or employee of CalTRUST will
be liable for any action or failure to act, and that each will be indemnified by
CalTRUST against all claims and liabilities as provided in the Agreement, except
that no indemnification will be provided for such person’s own bad faith, willful
misfeasance, gross negligence or reckless disregard of duty.
The California Joint Exercise of Powers Act provides that all immunities from
liability that apply to the activity of Trustees, Members, officers, employees or
agents of the Members when performing their functions within the territorial
limits of their respective Public Agencies will apply to them to the same degree
and extent while engaged in the performance of any of their functions and duties
associated with CalTRUST.

officer, employee or agent of CalTRUST against any liability asserted against or
incurred by such person in such capacity or arising out of such person’s status as
such, but only to the extent that CalTRUST would have the power to indemnify
such person against that liability under the Agreement, unless CalTRUST
determines that such insurance is not cost effective for CalTRUST or is otherwise
impracticable.

participate in the Shares Program. Whenever a Participant’s investment is less than the minimum established from
time to time by CalTRUST’s Board of Trustees, such Participant will be required to sell its Shares, provided,
however, that thirty (30) days prior notice is given to such Participant. If the Board changes the minimum
investment to an amount greater than the investment of any Participant at the time that such change becomes
effective, such Participant shall not be required to sell its Shares.
E. INVESTMENT BENEFITS
By purchasing Shares in any Series, the Investment Advisor seeks to provide the following benefits:
§ Preservation of Principal. Preserve principal to the extent reasonably possible in accordance with the
applicable investment strategy by investing only in fixed-income oriented Authorized Investments, and in
accordance with an investment strategy designed to preserve capital.
§ Liquidity. Provide liquidity so that Participants have ready access to their Shares to the extent described in
this Information Statement.
§ Income. Provide as high a level of current income in each Series as is consistent with preserving principal
and maintaining liquidity.
§ Professional Management. Investments are managed by investment professionals that follow both general
economic and current market conditions affecting interest rates and the value of fixed-income oriented
investments
§ Diversification. Each Participant in a Series will own Shares in a diversified portfolio of high quality
securities.
§ Accounting, Safekeeping and Separate Series. The Participants’ investments are accounted for in
compliance with governmental accounting and auditing requirements, and Participants will be provided
with all necessary information to do the bookkeeping and safekeeping associated with the ownership of the
Shares. Participants will have secure online access to their accounts, as well as being provided with
monthly statements.
There can be no assurance that the investment objectives of any particular Program will be achieved.
F. AUTHORIZED INVESTMENTS
The Shares purchased by the Investment Advisor will be comprised exclusively of the following investments
(the “Authorized Investments”). These investments are authorized investments under the California Government
Code, as may be amended from time to time, for money not required for the immediate needs of Local Agencies.
The California Government Code limits the amount of surplus money of a Local Agency which may be invested in
certain of the investments described below. Each Participant shall be responsible for monitoring the aggregate
amount of its investments in any of these kinds of investments, to assure its own compliance with the California
Government Code. None of the Investment Advisor, the Administrator or CalTRUST shall be responsible for such
monitoring. The Board may revise this Investment Policy from time to time subject to Section 4.2(a) of the
Agreement. Pursuant to the Agreement, the Board shall cause the amended Investment Policy to be delivered to
each Participant.

a commercial bank. Purchases of bankers acceptances may not exceed 180 days’ maturity or 40 percent of
the assets in a Series. However, no more than 30 percent of the assets in a Series may be bankers
acceptances of any one commercial bank.
7) Commercial paper of “prime” quality of the highest ranking or of the highest letter and number rating as
provided for by a nationally recognized statistical-rating organization (“NRSRO”). The entity that issues the
commercial paper shall meet all of the following criteria in either clause (a) or (b): (a)(i) is organized and
operating in the United States as a general corporation, (ii) has total assets in excess of five hundred million
dollars ($500,000,000) and (iii) has debt other than commercial paper, if any, that is rated “A” or higher by a

9) Investments in repurchase agreements of Authorized Investments as long as the agreements are subject to
the requirements of California Government Code Section 53601(j), including the delivery requirements
specified in California Government Code Section 53601(j). “Repurchase agreement” means a purchase of
securities by the local agency pursuant to an agreement by which the counterparty seller will repurchase the
securities on or before a specified date and for a specified amount and the counterparty will deliver the
underlying securities to the local agency by book entry, physical delivery, or by third-party custodial
agreement. The transfer of underlying securities to the counterparty bank’s customer book-entry account
may be used for book-entry delivery. Investments in repurchase agreements may be made, on any
Authorized Investments, when the term of the agreement does not exceed one year. The market value of
securities that underlay a repurchase agreement shall be valued at 102 percent or greater of the funds
borrowed against those securities and the value shall be adjusted no less than quarterly. Since the market
value of the underlying securities is subject to daily market fluctuations, the investments in repurchase
agreements shall be in compliance if the value of the underlying securities is brought back up to 102 percent
no later than the next business day.
10) Medium-term notes, defined as all corporate and depository institution debt securities with a maximum
remaining maturity of five years or less, issued by corporations organized and operating within the United
States or by depository institutions licensed by the United States or any state and operating within the United
States. Notes eligible for investment under this subsection shall be rated “A” or better by a nationally
recognized rating service. Purchases of medium-term notes (not including other Authorized Investments)
may not exceed 30 percent of the assets in a Series.
11) Shares of beneficial interest issued by diversified management companies that are money market funds
registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Investment Company Act of 1940. Such
companies shall have attained the highest ranking or the highest letter and numerical rating provided by not
less than two NRSROs or retained an investment adviser registered or exempt from registration with the
Securities and Exchange Commission with not less than five years’ experience managing money market
mutual funds with assets under management in excess of five hundred million dollars ($500,000,000). The
purchase price of shares of beneficial interest purchased pursuant to this subsection shall not include any
commission that the companies may charge and shall not exceed 20 percent of the assets in a Series.
12) Notes, bonds, or other obligations that are at all times secured by a valid first priority security interest in
securities of the types listed by California Government Code Section 53651 as eligible securities for the
purpose of securing local agency deposits having a market value at least equal to that required by California
Government Code Section 53652 for the purpose of securing local agency deposits. The securities serving as
collateral shall be placed by delivery or book entry into the custody of a trust company or the trust
department of a bank which is not affiliated with the issuer of the secured obligation, and the security
interest shall be perfected in accordance with the requirements of the Uniform Commercial Code or federal
regulations applicable to the types of securities in which the security interest is granted
13) Any mortgage passthrough security, collateralized mortgage obligation, mortgage-backed or other pay-
through bond, equipment lease-backed certificate, consumer receivable passthrough certificate, or consumer
receivable-backed bond of a maximum of five years maturity. Securities eligible for investment under this
subsection shall be issued by an issuer having an “A” or higher rating for the issuer’s debt as provided by a
nationally recognized rating service and rated in a rating category of “AA” or its equivalent or better by a
nationally recognized rating service. Purchase of securities authorized by this subsection may not exceed 20
percent of the assets in a Series.
14) United States dollar denominated senior unsecured unsubordinated obligations issued or unconditionally
guaranteed by the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development, International Finance
Corporation, or Inter-American Development Bank, with a maximum remaining maturity of five years or
less, and eligible for purchase and sale within the United States. Investments under this subdivision shall be
rated “AA” or better by an NRSRO and shall not exceed 30 percent of the agency’s moneys that may be
invested pursuant to this section.
Funds invested through a Series will be invested by the Investment Advisor in accordance with the prudent
6
investor standard of the California Government Code. Any investments consisting of notes, bonds, bills, certificates
of indebtedness, warrants, or registered warrants shall be legal investments for savings banks in the State. Funds
invested through a Series will not be invested in any inverse floaters, range notes or mortgage-derived, interest-only
strips, or in any security that could result in zero interest accrual if held to maturity.
G. DURATION OF SERIES AND MATURITY OF INVESTMENTS
Each Series seeks to attain as high a level of current income as is consistent with the preservation of principal.
Each Series will invest in only fixed-income oriented Authorized Investments. The Short-Term Fund seeks a target
portfolio duration of 0 to 2 years. The Medium-Term Fund seeks a target portfolio duration of 1 ½ to 3 ½ years. The
Long-Term Fund seeks a target portfolio duration of 5 to 7 years.
Each Series will invest in a diversified portfolio of fixed-income oriented investments of varying maturities
with a different portfolio “duration.” Duration is a measure of the expected life of a fixed-income oriented
investment that was developed as a more precise alternative to the concept of “term to maturity.” Duration
incorporates a bond’s yield, coupon interest payments, final maturity, call and put features and prepayment exposure
into one measure. Traditionally, a fixed-income oriented investment’s “term to maturity” has been used to
determine the sensitivity of the investment’s price to changes in interest rates (which is the “interest rate risk” or
“volatility” of the investment). However, “term to maturity” measures only the time until a fixed-income oriented
investment provides its final payment, taking no account of the pattern of the investment’s payments prior to
maturity. Duration is used in the management of Series as a tool to measure interest rate risk. For example, a Series
with a portfolio duration of two years would be expected to change in value 2% for every 1% move in interest rates.
H. INVESTMENT RESTRICTIONS
The Board has adopted the following investment restrictions for the Shares Program, which may not be changed
in a material way by the Board, except as may be required by applicable law, without the approval of the
Participants holding a majority of the Shares in the affected Series. Funds invested through a Series will not be used
to:
1) Purchase any securities other than those described under “Authorized Investments,” unless California law
at some future date redefines the types of securities which are legal investments for all classes of
Participants, in which case the permitted investments for the Series may be changed by the Board to
conform to California law.
2) Invest in securities of any issuer in which a Trustee, officer, employee, agent or adviser of CalTRUST is an
officer, director or 5% shareholder unless such investment is periodically authorized by resolution adopted
by the Board, excluding officers, directors or 5% shareholders of such issuer.
3) Make loans, except that repurchase agreements may be entered into as specified under “Authorized
Investments.”
4) Borrow money or pledge, hypothecate or mortgage the assets in a Series or otherwise engage in any
transaction that has the effect of creating leverage with respect to a Series; provided, however, that short-
term credits necessary for the settlement of securities trades may be used, and forward purchases and sales
of securities that are expected to settle beyond a normal “T+3” basis may be entered into.
5) Purchase the securities of any issuer (other than obligations issued and guaranteed as to principal and
interest by the government of the United States, its agencies or instrumentalities) if, as a result, more than
10% of the total assets in a series would be invested in the securities of any one issuer.

PART 3. CERTIFICATION AND SIGNATURES
The undersigned certify and affirm that: 1. None of CalTRUST, its Trustees, the Administrator, the Investment Advisor or the Custodian has provided any
advice to the Participant about whether to participate in CalTRUST. The Participant has requested and received from the Administrator all information that the Participant, after due inquiry, deemed relevant to participating in CalTRUST. The Participant has carefully reviewed the Information Statement and JP Agreement, has discussed
with CalTRUST representatives any questions the Participant may have had as to such materials, and as to the business, operations or financial condition of CalTRUST, and agrees to be bound by the terms of the Information Statement and acknowledges the terms of the JP Agreement as they relate to the Participant. The Participant
understands the risks of this investment as described in the Information Statement. The Participant has taken into account that, like an investment in most securities, there is a risk of loss of this investment, and that an investment through the Series of Shares known as the “CalTRUST Medium-Term Fund” Series (the “Medium-
Term Fund”) and the “CalTRUST Long-Term Fund” Series (the “Long-Term Fund”) will be relatively illiquid so that funds invested in those Funds will not be readily available. Taking into account these factors and all other factors relating to the Shares Program, the Participant has independently concluded that this investment is suitable for the Participant. 2. The Participant has consulted with its own legal, accounting, tax, investment and other advisers in connection with this investment, to the extent that the Participant has deemed necessary, including with respect to the investment of any tax-exempt bond proceeds, which may result in certain consequences if invested.
Page 5
3. The Participant is duly authorized to enter into this Program Registration Form and Participation Agreement, and the person signing this Program Registration Form and Participation Agreement on behalf of the Participant is authorized to do so, under all applicable governing documents and investment objectives of the Participant, by the legislative or other governing body of the Participant, and pursuant to applicable laws. This Program Registration Form and Participation Agreement constitutes a legal, valid and binding agreement of the
Participant enforceable against the Participant in accordance with its terms. 4. The Participant is either a political subdivision of a state, or an agency, authority, or instrumentality of the United
States, a state or any political subdivision of a state, as those terms are used in the Investment Company Act of 1940.
5. The Participant understands that the Shares have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The Participant understands that no federal or state agency has passed on the merits or fairness of this investment.
6. This Program Registration Form and Participation Agreement shall be binding on the Participant and its successors and assigns and shall inure to the benefit of the successors and assigns of CalTRUST and the Administrator. This Program Registration Form and Participation Agreement shall be governed by the laws of
the State of California as such laws are applied to agreements that are made in California by California residents and that are to be performed wholly within California.
7. The Participant has reviewed CalTRUST’s Investment Policy and has determined that it satisfies, and does not
conflict with, the Participant’s legal and policy requirements and investment objectives, including any limitations that the Participant has adopted that are more restrictive than State law or CalTRUST’s Investment Policy, and the Participant agrees to review the Investment Policy each time its governing body reviews its own investment policy. To the extent that the Participant has any questions or concerns about the Investment Policy, it agrees to raise these matters expediently with CalTRUST and if such questions or concerns are not addressed to the
satisfaction of the Participant, it agrees to sell its Shares.
8. The Participant accepts responsibility for the investment decisions of the Investment Advisor and agrees that it will independently review the performance of the Investment Advisor as often as it deems necessary to meet all
legal requirements applicable to the investment of the Participant’s funds with respect to investment decisions affecting the Participant.
9. If the Participant has in effect an annual delegation of discretionary investment power to its treasurer, such
delegation to the treasurer will be in effect at all times when the Participant participates in the Shares Program.
10. The Participant has carefully reviewed and understands the important disclosures and information contained in the Information Statement concerning the requirements, and consequences for failing to comply with such
requirements, with respect to the following topics:
When funds may be invested through or withdrawn from the Series of Shares known as the “CalTRUST Money Market Fund” (the “Money Market Fund”), Short-Term Fund, Medium-Term Fund and/or Long-Term Fund;
When investments will begin earning income after an investment of funds through the Money Market
Fund, Short-Term Fund, Medium-Term Fund and/or Long-Term Fund;
When investments will stop earning income in connection with a withdrawal of funds from the Money Market Fund, Short-Term Fund, Medium-Term Fund and/or Long-Term Fund;
Requisite form and timing of advance notices of and timing of receipt of funds for investments through the Money Market Fund, Short-Term Fund, Medium-Term Fund and/or Long-Term Fund;
Requisite form and timing of advance notices of requests for withdrawals from the Money Market Fund,
Short-Term Fund, Medium-Term Fund and/or Long-Term Fund; and
When funds to be invested through the Medium-Term Fund and/or Long-Term Fund will be automatically and temporarily invested through the Short-Term Fund, and when such funds will be automatically transferred from the Short-Term Fund and invested through the Medium-Term Fund
and/or Long-Term Fund as requested.
