PUBLIC HEARING — CONSIDERATION OF ANNUAL TRASH
COLLECTION CHARGES TO BE COLLECTED WITH THE

trash collection charges, explaining Proposition 218 procedural rules will be
followed for the proposed increase.

Mr. Bums 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 may not be imposed for service unless the service is
actually used by, or immediately available to, the owner of the property in
question. Fees or charges based on potential of future use of a service are
not permitted. Standby charges must be classified as assessments and
must not be imposed without compliance with the proportionality
requirement for assessments.
• 5. No fee or charge may 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.
Mr. Hamers provided a brief overview of the increase in charges to $193.64 per
dwelling unit for 2002 -2003. Mr. Hamers reported Mr. Puckett prepared a report
outlining the budget adjustment of $40,745 necessary to maintain the planning
horizon for achieving breakeven status on an operating basis within the Solid
Waste Fund as adopted by the Board at its June 5, 2002 meeting. Mr. Hamers
invited the public to ask questions of Mr. Puckett. No questions were posed.
Mr. Hamers reported 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. Specifically excluded
from the proposed trash collection rate is the cost of the new standardized
40 trash containers which are provided free of charge.

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 is used 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 the
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. 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 made necessary due to the
increase in special recycling programs as well as the contractual agreement
increase to contractors regarding the Consumer Price Index.
President Schafer verified from Joan Revak, Clerk of the District, that all required
notices were duly published.
Ms. Revak reported the District received no (0) protests to date from a total of
17,530 parcels notified.
OPEN PUBLIC HEARING
President Schafer opened the public hearing, requesting each speaker to limit
their protest to three minutes and advising participants that, by law, only a written
• protest will count.

Mr. Bums read the requirements of Proposition 218:
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

4. The fee or charge may not be imposed for service unless the service is
actually used by, or immediately available to, the owner of the property in
question. Fees or charges based on potential of future use of a service are
not permitted. Standby charges may be classified as assessments and
must not be imposed without compliance with the proportionality
requirement for assessments.
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.
Mr. Hamers thanked Staff for the work they have done in preparing the report. Mr.
Hamers presented a brief synopsis on liquid waste disposal charges for 2002 -03.
Mr. Hamers outlined how the charges for liquid waste disposal meet the
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. Revenue from the fee or 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 as designated in the applicable statutes. Similarly, no funds
derived from the charges are used for solid waste collection, recycling, or
is 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.
4. 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 are only charged if they are physically connected to the sewer
system. Vacant land or properties with storage or other buildings not
• receiving sewer service are not charged.
5. No fee or charge is imposed for general governmental services such as
police, fire, ambulance, or libraries, but is only imposed for sewer services.
The District provides only trash collection and sewer service and all fees
collected as sewer charges are used only for related expenses.
President Schafer verified from Joan Revak, Clerk of the District, that all required
notices were duly published.
Ms. Revak reported the District received no (0) protests to date from a total of
24,815 parcels notified.
OPEN PUBLIC HEARING
President Schafer opened the public hearing, requesting each speaker to limit
their protest to three minutes and advising participants that, by law, only a written
protest will count.
Charmaine Pickett, 2394 College Drive, Costa Mesa, spoke and inquired
regarding a storm drain pipe. Mr. Hamers advised Ms. Pickett that the Costa
Mesa Sanitary District does not own or operate any storm drains and suggested
she contact the City of Costa Mesa to discuss the issue.
