opening escrow with First American Title Insurance Company for the acquisition
of the property at 2252 Fairview Road and appropriating funds to purchase the
property. He explained that the District is seeking to acquire this property in order
to expand the District Yard facility and store emergency equipment, such as
portable generators and bypass pumps, to decrease the wastewater crew's
response time. He added that the District's emergency equipment is currently
stored at several locations including the City Corporation Yard, the Orange Coast
College boat yard, and the District's own lift stations. Lastly, Mr. Carroll noted that
the existing building on the property will be used to shelter hoses and cables
from the elements and that the District is nearing plan check with the City of
Costa Mesa for minor proposed improvements to the property.

storage of emergency equipment and how those costs compare to the cost of
acquiring the new property.
President Scheafer noted that emergencies are an unknown factor and that staff
may not be able to quantify the potential savings associated with a quicker
emergency response time.
Mr. Carroll noted that a quicker emergency response time could bring the District
significant savings in terms of state fines for sanitary sewer overflows (SSOS).
