<br />83 <br />school and health requirements, as well as numerous other matters. There is always the <br />possibility that such approvals will not be obtained or, if obtained, will not be obtained on a timely <br />basis. Failure to obtain any such agency approval or satisfy such governmental requirements <br />would adversely affect land development. For information on certain environmental issues <br />concerning development, see “PLANNED DEVELOPMENT IN THE LAVWMA SERVICE AREA.” <br /> <br />The installation of the necessary infrastructure improvements and the construction of the <br />proposed development are subject to the receipt of ministerial and discretionary approvals from <br />a number of public agencies concerning the layout and design of the proposed development, the <br />nature and extent of the improvements, land use, health and safety requirements and other <br />matters. Moreover, land development operations may be adversely affected by future <br />governmental policies, including, but not limited to, governmental policies to restrict or control <br />development. <br /> <br />Under current California law, it is generally accepted that proposed development is not <br />exempt from future land use regulations until building permits have been properly issued and <br />substantial work has been performed and substantial liabilities have been incurred in good faith <br />reliance on such permits. <br /> <br />In the past, a number of communities in California, including Dublin, Pleasanton, <br />Livermore and San Ramon have had initiative measures placed on the ballot intended to control <br />the rate of future development. It is possible that future initiatives could be enacted, could become <br />applicable to the proposed development and could negatively impact the ability of the developers, <br />and their successors, to complete land development. The application of future land use <br />regulations to land development could cause significant delays and cost increases in the <br />completion of development. <br /> <br />On November 7, 2000, Alameda County voters approved two growth control measures, <br />known as County of Alameda Measures D and M. For a discussion of these measures with <br />respect to planned development in the LAVWMA service area, see “PLANNED DEVELOPMENT <br />IN THE LAVWMA SERVICE AREA.” <br /> <br />There can be no assurance that land development operations will not be adversely <br />affected by a future deterioration of the real estate market and economic conditions or future local, <br />State and federal governmental policies relating to real estate development, the income tax <br />treatment of real property ownership, or the state and/or national economy. <br /> <br />Cybersecurity <br /> <br />LAVWMA and the Members, and their respective wastewater enterprises, rely on a large <br />and complex technology environment to conduct their operations. LAVWMA and each Member <br />and its departments (including their wastewater enterprises) face multiple cyber threats including, <br />but not limited to, hacking, viruses, malware and other attacks on computers and other sensitive <br />digital networks and systems. LAVWMA and each Member has purchased cyberinsurance <br />coverage to protect against cyber risks. <br /> <br />No assurances can be given that the cybersecurity protection measures taken by <br />LAVWMA or any Member will be successful in guarding against any and each cyber threat and <br />attack. The results of any successful cyber-attack on LAVWMA or any Member’s network and <br />computer information technology systems could have a material adverse impact on the operations
