END OF-CONSENT CALENDAR ------------------------------------------------------------- ------------- - - - - -- PUBLIC HEARING - CONSIDERATION OF ANNUAL TRASH COLLECTION CHARGES TO BE COLLECTED WITH THE GENERAL TAXES Mr. Burns gave a brief overview outlining the process for consideration of annual trash collection charges, explaining Proposition 218 procedural rules will be followed for the proposed increase. Mr. Burns further explained the sewer rates are not being considered • for increase; therefore, Proposition 218 procedural rules will not apply to that portion of the meeting. Mr. Burns read the requirements necessary to increase the trash rate: 1. Revenues derived from the fee or charge must not exceed the funds required to provide the property related service. 2. Revenue from the fee or charge must not be used for any purpose other than that for which the fee or charge is imposed. 3. The amount of a fee or charge imposed upon any parcel or person as an incident of property ownership must not exceed the proportional cost of the service attributable to the parcel. 4. The fee or charge must not be imposed for service unless the service is actually used by, or immediately available to, the owner of the property in question. 5. No fee or charge can be imposed for general governmental services such as police, fire, ambulance, or libraries, where the service is available to the public in substantially the same manner as it is to property owners. • COSTA MESA SANITARY DISTRICT S MINUTES - BOARD OF DIRECTORS MEETING HELD AUGUST 10, 2000 • PRESENTATION OF REPORT Mr. Hamers presented a report on trash collection charges for 2000 -01 showing his review of the proposed rate of $174.50 per dwelling unit for the 2000/01 annual trash collection charge. The charge meets the substantive requirements of Proposition 218 as follows: 1. Revenues derived from the fee or charge do not exceed the funds required to provide the trash collection service. The charges are calculated by adding together the cost of components necessary to provide the service and then apportioning this to those receiving trash collection services. No components other than those directly related to providing service are used to establish rates. The components include trash collection, recycling, education and special programs, and administration. 2. Revenue from the fee or charge is not used for any purpose other than for which the fee or charge is imposed. The revenue issued only for the components of providing trash collection service as outlined in Paragraph 1 above and as identified in the District's yearly budget. 3. The amount of a fee or charge imposed upon any parcel or person as an incident of property ownership does not exceed the proportional cost of the service attributable • to the parcel. The amount of the yearly charge is determined by dividing the cost of all the components of providing service by the number of parcels receiving service, as the vast majority of parcels produce an approximately equal amount of solid waste and all parcels enjoy the benefits of the public education and have an opportunity to participate in the special programs. 4.I The fee or charge is not imposed for service unless the service is actually used by, or immediately available to, the owner of the property in question. Properties not receiving trash collection service or that receive service from other entities providing trash collection, are not charged. 5. No fee or charge is being imposed for general governmental services such as police, fire, ambulance, or libraries, but is only imposed for trash collection services. The District provides only trash collection and sewer service and charges collected for trash collection are used only for that purpose. Mr. Hamers stated he determined the rate increase is necessary due to the required increase in solid waste diversion as well as the contractual agreement to contractors regarding the Consumer Price Index increase. • President Perry verified from Joan Revak, Clerk of the District, that all required notices were duly published.

PRESENTATION OF REPORT Mr. Hamers presented a report on liquid waste disposal charges for 2000 -01 showing his review of the proposed rate per dwelling unit for the 2000 -01 liquid waste disposal charge. The charges will not be increased for the 2000 -01 fiscal year, and are thereby exempt from the procedural requirements of Proposition 218. Mr. Hamers outlined how the charges for liquid waste disposal meet the substantive requirements of Proposition 218 as follows: 1. Revenues derived from the annual sewer fee charges do not exceed the funds required to provide the sewer service. The charges are calculated by adding together the costs of all the components of providing the service and then apportioning the required funds to each of the properties connected to the system. • The components of providing the service include the yearly capital replacement projects, the maintenance and operation costs of maintaining the system and administration costs. 2. Revenues from the charge is not used for any purpose other than for which the fee or charge is imposed. No funds collected from the charges are used for expansion or augmentation to the sewer system, only the purposes ad designated in the applicable statutes. Similarly, no funds derived from the charges are used for solid waste collection, recycling, or administration thereof. 3. The amount of a fee or charge imposed upon any parcel or person as an incident of property ownership does not exceed the proportional cost of the service attributable to the parcel. Each parcel connected to the system falls into a property category type, which has a related estimated maximum sewer flow. The maximum estimated sewer flow is based on actual flow metering tests along with flow rates calculated and established by other sewer agencies. The total estimated maximum sewer flows and acres of property developed are used to determine the funding contribution from each property category type. Each individual parcel, based on the actual number of residential units or commercial /industrial /other square footage, is assigned its proportional share of the required funds of each property category type. Therefore, each property contributes its proportional share. COSTA MESA SANITARY DISTRICT 8 MINUTES - BOARD OF DIRECTORS MEETING HELD AUGUST 10, 2000 • 4.
