Assistant Manager; Joan Revak, Board Secretary/Project
Manager; Alan Burns, General Counsel; Wendy Davis, Treasurer
is Others Present: Anne Shereshevsky, 2152 Elden Avenue, Costa Mesa
Public Comments
Ms. Shereshevsky expressed her concern with regard to trash containers being left
in the street after being emptied. Mr. Hamers explained that the trash hauler is in
the process of converting to fully automated collection that will require containers to
be left in the street. Mr. Hamers also explained that fully automated service is
generally faster, more efficient and safer for the drivers and public. However, each
route will be judged independently and there may be a few areas where semi -
automated service remains.
II. Consideration of Technology Resource Center (TRC)
Mr. Fauth explained that the Board previously approved an amount not to exceed
$75,000 for software and installation services. At the time the request for approval
of funds for these services was presented to the Board for approval, one of the line
items was inadvertently left out and the amount should have been $86,174.
Director Perry motioned to approve an amount not to exceed $87,000. Director
Worthington seconded. Motion passed 5 -0.

Page 2
Mr. Fauth presented ten Contract Change Orders to the Agreement with Cirks
Construction for tenant improvements at the new District headquarters. Director
Ferryman motioned to ratify the Change Orders in the amount of $25,228.17 and
additionally to include installation of a waterless urinal. Director Woodside
seconded. Motion passed 5 -0.
IV. Consideration of CMSD Budget 2004 -2005
Ms. Davis presented the proposed Budget for Fiscal Year 2004 -05 stating it is a
balanced budget that will enable the District to continue to provide a high level of
service to the community. The proposed Solid and Liquid Waste Funds reflect
revenues of $7.17 million and expenses of $7.14 million. Ms. Davis further noted
that a conservative approach to projecting revenues and estimating expenses was
taken and the proposed increase in expenses of $245,107 primarily are a result of
increasing contract costs for trash hauling and recycling services. These costs
represent a 3.00% CPI rate increase as well as an increase in the number of units
served and the amount of waste recycled. Director Perry motioned to adopt the
2004 -05 Budget as presented with the election expenses divided equally between
the solid and liquid waste funds. Director Woodside seconded. Motion passed 5 -0.
Ms. Davis will present a mid -year budget review in January 2005.
President Schafer adjourned the meeting at 7:52 p.m.
