Summary
The District’s wastewater assessment on a vacant parcel APN 42735205, has been incorrectly charged since this
property has never connected to the District’s wastewater system. Therefore, staff is recommending a refund for this
property of $515.22.
Analysis
Attached is a request from Mr. Philip Hart to the CMSD Board of Directors to refund the District’s wastewater assessment
fees charged on assessor’s parcel number 42735205, located between the 55 Freeway and Pullman Street, Costa Mesa.
This property does not have an address according to the County Assessor's office. The District Engineer, Rob Hamers,
has determine that the property has never been connected to the District's wastewater system and due to the flood
control channel running the length of the parcel it would be difficult to connect. The property owner has been in contact
with staff regarding a refund of amounts paid since 2000 for assessments charged even though this property is not
connected to the District’s wastewater system. The property owner has provided his request in writing for the Board to
consider a refund.
The District’s policy for refunds as stated in the Operations Code, shown below, is consistent with the State statute.
(Government Code Section 53082.)
The District’s policy for refunds as stated in Chapter 9.02 of the Operations Code states:
(a)“For all claims for refunds for sewer or trash service for which a special rule (set forth below) does not apply, refund
procedures and time limitations will be governed by the Tort Claims Act (Government Code Section 900 et seq.) including,
but not limited to, the requirements that the claimant present a written request for a refund from the Board within one
year of the accrual of the cause of action. Refunds will be allowed if the claimant's request satisfies the procedures of the
Tort Claims Act and if the claimant establishes that his or her claim is meritorious.
(b)For amounts "paid under protest", refunds may be allowed for up to four years provided that the procedures of the
Health and Safety Code and Revenue and taxation Code were followed. (See Health and Safety Code Section 5472;
Revenue and Taxation Code Sections 5097 and 5140 et seq.)
(c)Persons who have paid sewer service fees but who have received no service and have not been connected to the
District's system shall be eligible for a refund depending on when the fees were collected as follows:
(1)If the fees were collected before January 1, 1992, there is no statute of limitations and the claimant may
submit a claim for such amount that he can prove that he paid and for which he received no service.
(2)If the fees were paid after January 1, 1992, a claim must have been filed within 180 days of the date of the
payment.”
Previously District Counsel was of the opinion that there was an unlimited period for which refunds could be claimed. After
further research into the legislative history, and in light of a more recent case, District Counsel is now of the opinion that
there is a 180 limit on such claims for refunds for service after 1991. Nevertheless, staff recommends the Board of
Directors approve a refund for fiscal years 20002001 through 201516 assessments in the amount of $474.94. The
current year assessments were submitted to the OC Tax Collector before the correction could be made therefore, staff is
also requesting a refund of the fiscal year 20162017 assessment in the amount of $40.28. The total amount to be
refunded is $515.22
Legal Review
District Counsel opines that the State statute is consistent with the District’s Operations Code. It provides that in cases
where a person paid fees after 1991, that the statute of limitations is basically 180 days. Nevertheless, the Board may

choose to waive the statute of limitations in this instance in the public's interest, since there was an error and no service
was provided.
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
The $515.22 refund requested is detailed in Attachment B, would be paid from assessments collected in the current fiscal
year. The tax roll will be corrected from “Commercial” to “Exempt” for Fiscal Year 201617 wastewater assessments.
Public Notice Process
Copies of this report are on file and will be included with the entire agenda packet for the October 18, 2016 Board of
Directors regular meeting at District headquarters and on District’s website at www.cmsdca.gov

Summary
The Costa Mesa Sanitary District (CMSD) received a third party claim on October 3, 2016 for alleged damages to a sewer
lateral line.
Analysis
CMSD received a letter on February 10, 2016 from SAA 1 LLC informing them of a damaged sewer lateral servicing the
property at 1650 Superior Avenue, Costa Mesa, CA. SAA 1 LLC believed that “the lateral was damaged when contractors
installed a utility box at the base of a light/electrical pole located in the City’s rightofway in front of the property some time
ago.” SAA 1 LLC requested reimbursement of $6000.00 for the cost of replacing the sewer lateral. On February 17, 2016 CMSD
responded by mail to this letter informing SAA 1 LLC that construction of the utility box was not part of a Sanitary District
project, and CMSD played no part in damaging the lateral.
On October 3, 2016, CMSD received a Claim for Damages from Vogt, Resnick, Sherak, LLP on behalf of their client SAA 1 LLC
demanding reimbursement for damages in the amount of $6,649.07. CMSD maintains that the District played no part in
damaging the lateral and is not liable for reimbursement in this matter.

Summary
The property owner of parcel number 13929602, 2928 Peppertree Lane, Costa Mesa has requested to terminate trash
services.
Analysis
Attached is a request to the District Board of Directors to refund the property owner for trash service fees for the months
that are currently not receiving trash services but have already been billed through the annual property tax assessments.
Reimbursement is being requested for the months not reflected in the fiscal year which is as follows:
No. of Months 9 x $18.00 =162.00 x 4 units = $648.00
No. of Days 9 x $0.59 = $5.31 x 4 units = $21.24
= $669.24
The property owner has provided their request in writing for the Board to consider a refund, which is attached, hereto.
The District’s policy for refunds as stated in Chapter 9.02 of the Operations Code states: For all claims for refunds for
sewer or trash service for which a special rule (set forth below) does not apply, refund procedures and time limitations will
be governed by the Tort Claims Act (Government Code Section 900 et seq.) including, but not limited to, the
requirements that the claimant present a written request for a refund from the Board within one year of the accrual of
the cause of action. Refunds will be allowed if the claimant’s request satisfies the procedures of the Tort Claims Act and if
the claimant establishes that his or her claim is meritorious.
(b) For amounts “paid under protest,” refunds may be allowed for up to four years provided that the procedures of the
Health and Safety Code and Revenue and Taxation Code were followed (see Health and Safety Code Section 5472;
Revenue and Taxation Code Sections 5097 and 5140 et. Seq.)
(c) Persons who have paid sewer service fees but have not received service and have not been connected to the District’s
system shall be eligible for a refund depending on when the fees were collected as follows:
(1) If the fees were collected before January 1, 1992, there is no statute of limitations and the claimant may
submit a claim for such amount that he/she can prove they paid and for which they received no service.
(2) If the fees were paid after January 1, 1992, a claim must have been filed within 180 days of the date of the
payment.
Legal Review
This refund is in compliance with the District's Operations Code.

D. GENERAL MANAGER'S REPORTS
Summary
Per Section 40 of the Agreement, the “DISTRICT shall complete a yearly performance review of the trash collection and
recycling program on a yearly basis and CONTRACTOR and DISTRICT shall meet to discuss and resolve problems that may be
occurring in the programs. DISTRICT shall prepare a performance review form that allows for evaluation of services provided
at the residences as well as administrative services including report preparation, accuracy, and timeliness of transmittal,
responsiveness to inquiries, database management, service levels and helpfulness.”
Staff is providing the Board of Directors with the results of the yearly performance review of CR&R for fiscal year 201516.
Analysis
The evaluation term was from July 1, 2015 to June 30, 2016. The performance was evaluated on the following grading scale:
Excellent, Satisfactory, Unsatisfactory, and Not Applicable. Staff reviewed CR&R's performance in six areas and made the
following findings:
1. Cost/Price Control: The standard perunit nettohauler payment for the review period was $17.13 which is below
($0.62 per unit less) the required County average of $16.14 plus 10% (17.75 maximum rate allowed). The average
excludes Laguna Woods (per Agreement) and Newport Beach (the City). CR&R now provides trash services for Newport
Beach and the City is charged a flat rate of $312,130 per month. Based on the data provided by the City from the RFP
used to bid for trash residential services, the average fulltime occupancy in Newport Beach is 16,894 households of the
22,525 total (occupancy figure used to calculate original rates for franchise). The consultant equates the nettohauler
rate to be $18.48 which is above the County average. There is also a $3.00 per household recycling fee that is billed
and retained by the City. Therefore, CR&R is in compliance with maintaining the “most favorable” nettohauler rate for
the District.
2. Schedule Control: As the new organics recycling program was being implemented, District staff received 42 missed
organics pickups from June 2015 to August 2015. Since then, the number of missed organics pickups has significantly
reduced. However, many residents requested exemptions as a result of the delays. CR&R maintains a complaint log and
is very responsive with contacting customers and scheduling pickups.
3. Contract Administration: CR&R promptly sends District staff monthend reports (weight tickets, occupancy reports,
HHW work orders and complaint log) for processing. The occupancy reports had some minor errors (duplicate
accounts), which District staff and CR&R staff discussed collaboratively on how to reconcile accounts. District staff
received AprilJune 2016 invoices with the incorrect organics rate for the organics curbside collection, in which the
District was charged $72.50 per ton. However, because the AD facility was not yet operational, the rate should have
been $51.97 per ton. The Agreement also states, “On the effective implementation date mutually agreed upon by both
parties for the implementation of the Organics Recycling Program [July of 2016], the rate for District organic material
delivered to [CR&R’s] AD facility will be $71.50 per ton.” CR&R was able to correct and credit the District back for
calculation errors.
4. Responsiveness to Government:
For the Christmas tree collections, District staff received numerous complaints in 2015. The consultant reviewed CR&R’s
complaint log and found that calls have dropped by 76% in 2015 (46 in 2015 & 60 in 2014) from the previous year but
does not include complaints received from the District’s app. CR&R has recommended establishing a set start date for
pickups annually, beginning on December 26. However, District staff has stated that many residents do not dispose of
their Christmas tree immediately after Christmas and have requested the start date to begin later. It is important to
note that for the 2015 Christmas tree collection, the delays were caused by unsafe weather conditions and not “start
date confusion” as stated in the review.

Goals 2.2 Annual Contract Audits
2.00 Solid Waste
CR&R continues to support the District with public outreach at community events, such as the Community Run and Fish
Fry. On April 23, 2016, CR&R provided the bale of cans for the “Count the Cans” contest. CR&R also provided organic
trash waste bins, signage and collection for the annual Fish Fry event. In addition, CR&R has provided District staff with
informational brochures and flyers to distribute at events.
5. Contract Compliance with Operational Requirements: The organics program began on June 22, 2015 and was fully
implemented by August 14, 2015. Prior to program implementation, green waste was used as an alternative daily cover
(ADC). For 2015, the recycling reports submitted by CR&R show 10,076 tons of green waste being processed as ADC. It
is important to note that the 10,076 tons are estimates based upon composition review and the 10,651 tonnage that
CalRecycle reports is the actual tonnage. The discrepancy shows that the estimated numbers are relatively accurate.
Despite program implementation, the AD facility was not operational until September of 2016. Therefore, the organics
collected from curbside collections were sent to two facilities (American Organics & Lakeview Composting Facility) for
composting during the audit period. Tonnage records indicate that 7,451.95 tons from the District franchise were
diverted by these facilities. The consultant reviewed the State Disposal Reporting System (DRS) which showed 18,906
tons of green waste being used for ADC during the calendar year of 2015. Thus, CR&R’s 10,651 tons of ADC and 7,451
tons of organics to compost in the audit period are supported by historical data. The Master Manifest substantiates a
57.69% diversion rate for the audit period; therefore CR&R has met the required 50% diversion rate as requested in
the Agreement.
6. Key Personnel: The consultant has confirmed that CR&R continuously maintains their employee policy, and is therefore
found in compliance.
In addition, staff retained the services of Michael Balliet Consulting, LLC (MBC) to provide a partial compliance review of 26
specified items per agreement requirements. The review, attached to this report, found that CR&R exhibited a high level of
compliance, passing 26 of 26 areas of review.
Legal Review
This review is in compliance with the District's contract with CR&R.
Environmental Review
A performance review of CR&R in and of itself is an administrative matter and 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. The programs of CR&R, such as
the organics programs, receive individual CEQA review when they are initiated or revised.
Financial Review
The cost to perform the performance audit review by Michael Balliet was $3,990.00, which was approved in the FY 2016
17 budget.

D. GENERAL MANAGER'S REPORTS
Analysis
All appropriations lapse at the end of each fiscal year, therefore it is necessary to request that certain unspent appropriations
for goods and/or services be carried over into the subsequent fiscal year. The carryover appropriations represent budgeted
Fiscal Year 201516 appropriations for goods and/or services that were not expended as of June 30, 2016, but are expected to
be expended in the Fiscal Year 201617. Generally, allowable carryovers are limited to certain types of goods or services,
such as professional service contracts, capital outlay or capital improvement projects (CIP). Due to their scope and size, CIP
is inherently precluded from being completed within the fiscal year in which funding was initially appropriated.
The carryover of operating transfers represents the use of specific resources to fund specific carryover appropriations. The
carryover of revenues typically relates to grants where the money has been received but not earned.
Encumbrances represent purchase orders (POs) issued for goods and/or services which were not received or completed during
the prior fiscal year by June 30, 2016. A PO is a commitment created to reserve a portion of the appropriation’s available
balance, but does not represent an expenditure or liability for budgetary or accounting purposes. The budget appropriations
associated with encumbrance’s lapse at fiscal yearend unless the Board reappropriates the funds in the subsequent fiscal
year as requested in this report.
After all payments are made for goods and services received by June 30, 2016, staff analyzes the remaining appropriation
balances and open encumbrances to determine their validity. If the proposed continuing appropriations and encumbrances
were not carried over into Fiscal Year 201617, there would not be sufficient appropriations in the current year budget to fund
existing and the current year adopted projects.
