Subject: Monthly Occupancy Count Report
Summary
The occupancy count is the number of residential customers that the District pays CR&R for the trash truck to stop and pick-up trash.
The District pays CR&R $9.7954 per occupant per month. Each month, new residential customers in brand new developments contact
the District to establish new trash service. District staff contacts CR&R to approve the drop-off of carts at the residence, which results in
an increase in the occupancy count as shown on the attached list.
Over the years, some discrepancies have occurred in the number of total occupancies. District staff has been working with CR&R to
reconcile the entire list of service addresses for the past few months. District staff met with CR&R and decided to unfreeze the occupancy
count of 22,518 because progress has been made in reconciling the list of service addresses. As of December 31, 2017, total District
occupancy was at 22,537, District staff will continue to track the number of new service addresses, Forty-one (41) accounts have been
added since the last billing period.
The payment calculation is based on the following:
District's Current Rate for December of 2017:
22,537 x $9.7954 = $220,758.93
Recommendation
That the Board of Directors accept the occupancy count as presented using 22,518 as the correct number of active units and direct staff
to prepare a warrant to CR&R Environmental Services for December 2017 collection based on this occupancy report so long as the
contractor fulfills the obligations of the agreement in the amount of $220,758.93 to be ratified in the January 2018 warrant list.

Subject: Comprehensive Annual Financial Report, Auditor's Report in Accordance with Government Auditing
Standards, and the Auditors' Required Communication for the year ended June 30, 2017
Summary
The annual financial audit of the District has been completed. Attached to this report are the audited financial statements, the auditors’
report in accordance with Government Auditing Standards, and the auditors’ required communication for the fiscal year ended June 30,
2017. Scott Manno, Partner, Rogers, Anderson, Malody & Scott, LLP, which is the District’s independent audit firm that conducted the
annual audit.
Staff Recommendation
The Board of Directors receive and file:
1) The Comprehensive Annual Financial Report for Year Ended June 30,2017,
2) Auditors’ Report in Accordance with Government Auditing Standards, and
3) The Auditors’ Required Communication for the Year Ended June 30, 2017.
Analysis
Financial highlights for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2016 included:
Total assets of the District exceeded liabilities by $61,317,324. Of this amount, $18,220,364 is unrestricted and available to meet
the District’s ongoing obligations to its customers and creditors.
The net position may serve over time as a useful indicator of a government’s financial position. Net position of the District was
$61,317,035 and $60,493,035 for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2017 and June 30, 2016, respectively, a $824,289 increase.
As of June 30, 2017, unrestricted net position increased to $18,220,364 from $18,144,094 in the prior fiscal year, or a $76,270
increase.
Net position of the Solid Waste Fund decreased $316,053 during the year ended June 30, 2017, which was attributable to the
adoption of a deficit budget to decrease the fund’s reserves. Expenses were projected to exceed revenues by $829,000;
however, revenues came in higher than budgeted and expenses came in lower than expected.
Net position of the Wastewater fund increased $1,175,6757 during the year ended June 30, 2017. This was primarily attributable
to an increase in operating revenue which resulted from a 2% wastewater assessment rate increase, and increased permit and
inspection revenue due to increased development activity.

Subject: Consider Adopting Resolution No. 2018-906 Rejecting the Low Bid from Best Contracting Service and Approve
Awarding Contract to Tecta America for HQ Roof Repair in the Amount of $147,400
Summary
Roof repairs at Headquarters are needed to mitigate leaks, extend the useful life, and to insure the roof is structurally sound for future
solar panels. Staff solicited bids from qualified roofing companies in which three bids were received.
Recommendation
That the Board of Directors:
1. Approve Adopting Resolution No. 2018-906 Rejecting the Bid from Best Contracting Service; and
2. Approve Contract with Tecta America to perform roof repairs at Headquarters in the amount of $147,400.
Analysis
Roof repairs at Headquarters are needed to mitigate leaks, extend the useful life, and to insure the roof is structurally sound for future
solar panels. Staff solicited bids from qualified roofing companies in which three bids were received.
Best Contracting Service $ 86,050
Tecta America $147,400
Letner Roofing Company $167,730
Best Contracting Service was the apparent low bid, but after further review of their bid staff discovered Best Contracting Service did not
include all the materials specified in CMSD's scope of work. Therefore, staff has determined Best Contracting Service's bid is non-
responsive and should be rejected. Tecta America and Letner Roofing Company did include all the specified materials and are
considered responsive bids. Tecta America is the low bid.
Tecta America is a nationwide commercial roofing company that has an office in Santa Ana. Backed by state-of-the-art roofing equipment
and the latest materials, Tecta America's highly-skilled roofing professionals are capable of handling any type of project, regardless of
size or complexity. The roof repairs will take approximately three weeks to complete.

Goals 5.0 Administrative Management
District Counsel has reviewed and approved the attached resolution rejecting Best Contracting Service and he approved the contract with
Tecta America.
Environmental Review
The proposed repair of the existing roof at the District Headquarters is maintenance and maintenance is categorically exempt under the
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) (Public Resources Code Section 21000 et. seq.) under Section 15301 as a “Class 1” project
as stated under 15301; “Class 1 consists of the operation, repair, maintenance, permitting, leasing, licensing, or minor alteration
of existing public or private structures, facilities …”; pertaining to 15301(b) “Existing facilities of both investor and publicly-
owned utilities used to provide electric power, natural gas, sewerage, or other public utility services”.
Financial Review
There is $81,000 budgeted in Capital Outlay in the current adopted budget for roof repairs, of which $72,900 was budgeted in the
Wastewater Fund and the remaining $8,100 in the Solid Waste Fund. An additional $66,400 is needed for the proposed contract plus a
ten percent contingency of $14,740, which will bring the total amount of additional funds needed to $81,140. In order to fund the
additional amount needed, staff is recommending that the headquarters HVAC duct cleaning budget of $85,000 be reallocated to fund the
difference needed for the roof repairs. Staff recommends that the HVAC duct cleaning be postponed until the 2018-19 budget year and
paid for using the $100,000 budgeted for re-landscaping at the District headquarters. Staff would request new funds for the landscaping
in 2019-2021 biennial budget. Since the HVAC duct cleaning budget is already in the appropriate account, there is no additional
appropriation or transfer requiring Board approval.

Subject: Project #325 Corporate Yard Expansion - Approving Contract Administration & Inspection Services with Robin B.
Hamers & Associates, Inc.
Summary
Later this evening the Board will be considering awarding a contract to expand the Corporate Yard. If the Board approves the
construction contract then the General Manager is approving the contract administration and inspection services proposal from Robin B.
Hamers & Associates, Inc.
Recommendation
That the Board of Directors receive and files this report.
Analysis
The Costa Mesa Sanitary District recently acquired the property adjacent to the Corporate Yard at 2252 Fairview Road. The newly
acquired property will be used to expand the Yard so that wastewater operations can store emergency equipment and supplies. A
contract to perform the expansion improvements is being considered tonight by the Board of Directors.
Robin B. Hamers & Associates, Inc. (RBH) submitted a proposal to perform contract administration and inspection services in the amount
of $18,760. Industry standard for contract administration and inspection services is ten percent of the construction cost. RBH proposal is
below ten percent, so the General Manager is approving the attached proposal.
Legal Review
Not applicable.
Environmental Review
The Board has previously determined that the purchase and use of the property at 2252 Fairview Road, which has a garage type building
on it presently and is used as a trailer hitch assembly facility, is similar to what District desires for, namely to store vehicles and other
equipment, and therefore is exempt from CEQA as a reconstruction of an existing facility or structure with the same purpose as the
original structure ( 15 CCR 15302), as a conversion of an existing structure from one use to another with only minor exterior modifications
( 15 CCR 15303), or as an infill project ( 15 CCR 15332).
Financial Review
Administration and inspection services costs of $18,760 are included in the construction budget for this project, staff is requesting
additional funding for this Capital Improvement Project later at this meeting..

Subject: Wastewater Master Plan Update - Progress Report
Summary
The previous wastewater master plan update occurred in year 2005 and since then the District has televised the system twice, converted
the paper sewer atlas to GIS format, and commissioned a hydraulic model of the system.
The core component of the master plan is using the hydraulic model to insure there is available capacity in the system to serve the
ultimate land uses shown in the City of Costa Mesa and City of Newport Beach general plans.
Additionally, the 2016-2017 District-wide CCTV project is nearing completion and those results will also be analyzed as part of the
update.
Recommendation
The Board of Directors receive and file this report.
Analysis
There is no pre-determined interval between master plan updates such as 5, 10 or 15 years, rather, the update is considered when
circumstances necessitate an update. When the 2007-2009 recession was finally over, rapid development occurred in Costa Mesa where
large residential developers purchased multiple adjacent properties to create large tracts with over 100 residences in the development.
This continued until the 2016 city council election where the new council greatly slowed down development. The increase in population
from these developments will cause an increase in wastewater flows.
Because of the rapid residential growth in Costa Mesa, and because of emerging concerns such as calcium buildup in sewer mains and
deterioration of ductile iron pipe gravity mains, and because the current master plan is 13 years old, and because it is prudent to develop
at least a 5-year capital improvement plan, it is appropriate for the District to update the master plan at this time. A few of the components
of the master plan are reviewed below.
Meetings with Cities
In addition to reaffirming the District has the latest land use plans from the City of Costa Mesa and City of Newport Beach, discussions
will be held to ascertain the cities’ views on potentially increasing densities beyond current levels.
Flow Monitoring
Flow monitoring (same as ‘flow metering’) is the installation of a meter inside an active sewer main to measure existing flows. Because
master planning is normally the comparison of calculated ultimate flows (based on full build-out of all land uses) to the capacities of the
sewer mains in the system, the best method to assess how close current flows are to ultimate flows is by actual flow monitoring.
Flow monitoring results also assist in predicting when capital improvement projects should be scheduled. If current flows are very low,
future capital improvement projects can be scheduled well into the future. Additionally, flow monitoring assists in identifying whether high
volume dischargers exist in a particular service area.

Type Action
Recommended Action The Board of Directors receive and file this report.
Goals 1.0 Sewer Infrastructure
The proposed flow monitoring program for the District consists of monitoring flows in 12 lines for one week in each line. This level of flow
monitoring is reasonable for the size of the District and takes advantage of economies of scale for setting meters and recovering data.
Work on flow monitoring includes reviewing previous work on determining existing flows, selection of lines to be metered, coordinating
work with the flow monitoring sub-consultant, analyzing results, and incorporating the information into the master plan.
Line by Line Analysis
The largest and most important work will be the joint RBH/EEC line-by-line analysis of each of the nearly 150 sewer mains shown in the
hydraulic model. The analysis of each line includes verifying land use types, confirming the flow calculations are consistent with the 2005
Sewer Master Plan, developing additional scenarios with higher densities if appropriate, determining whether ultimate flows indicate
additional capacity is necessary, and preparing a proposed capital improvement plan and schedule. The nearly 150 lines being analyzed
for the master plan is approximately twice as many lines as analyzed in the 2005 sewer master plan.
Review of CCTV Results
The 2016-2017 District-wide CCTV program is in essence a “condition assessment” of the gravity system. Observations made while the
camera traverses the lines are coded and reports can be sorted by type, such as Grade 5s, calcium, I/I, heavy roots, etc. The master plan
will include an analysis of the CCTV results with corresponding future CIP projects to handle the deficiencies.
The District took a proactive approach to the structural Grade 5 deficiencies found in the 2016-2017 CCTV program. As the Grade 5s
were found during the televising, deficiencies were grouped together in batches of approximately 20-30 then immediately placed out to
bid and repaired. Phase 9 of this work is currently underway.
CIP Plan and Schedule
For every sewer in the hydraulic model deemed to be under capacity to the point of necessitating new improvements, an engineer’s
estimate for a capital improvement project (CIP) will be prepared for a parallel sewer or possible upsizing of the line in place if space
limitations exist. Similarly, projects will be proposed for deficiencies found during the televising project and included in the proposed CIP.
Current Status
An early kickoff meeting was held on November 10, 2017 and the design team consists of three professional engineers from RBH, Inc.,
and two senior staff members from EEC. Because EEC prepared the GIS atlas and the hydraulic model and because of their intimate
knowledge of the system along with high level GIS skills, both firms are working together on the master plan update.
The master plan effort is approximately a nine-month process, however, work has been started in only a few areas because the CCTV
program is not yet complete. Each team member is completing phase one work, after which the team will meet again and the remainder
of the work will be scheduled.
Legal Review
Not required at this time.
Environmental Review
The wastewater master plan update is a planning study and Section 15262 of Article 18 Statutory Exemptions, of the California Code of
Regulations states: “A project involving only feasibility or planning studies for possible future actions which the agency, board,
or commission has not yet approved, adopted, or funded does not require the preparation of an EIR or negative declaration but
does require consideration of environmental factors. This section does not apply to the adoption of a plan what will have a
legally binding effect on later activities.” Consideration of the environmental factors will occur as part of each of the projects listed in
the master plan update.
Financial Review
The budget for this project is $120,000 of which $30,000 is allocated for flow monitoring. The project was originally funded in the 2015-16
and 2016-17 budgets, then carried over into the 2017-18 budget by the Board of Directors at the October 26, 2017 meeting. Staff
believes there are sufficient funds to complete the project.
Public Notice Process

Directors regular meeting at District Headquarters and on District’s website.

F. ENGINEER'S REPORTS
To: Board of Directors
Via: Scott Carroll, General Manager
From: Rob Hamers, District Engineer
Date: January 25, 2018
Subject: Approve Awarding Contract for the District Yard Expansion to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder GCI
Construction Inc. in the amount of $234,150, approve a contingency of 10% in the amount of $23,415 and approve the transfer
of funds from Project #317 in the amount of $160,000.
Summary
The project will expand the existing District Yard at 174 W. Wilson Street through the improvement of the adjacent property at 2252
Fairview Road. The District took ownership of this property when escrow closed near the end of September 2017.The proposed project
includes the minimum amount of work to properly secure the new site and create an effective overall corporate yard without removing the
existing building. The proposed improvements are described in the analysis section below.
Recommendation
The Board of Directors:
1. Award a contract for the district yard expansion to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder GCI Construction, Inc. in the amount
of $234,150; and
2. Approve a contingency of 10% in the amount of $23,415; and
3. Transfer $160,000 from Project #317.
Analysis
Bids were opened on December 19, 2017 and the results are as follows:
GCI Construction, Inc. $234,150.00
IO Environmental $356,378.36
Minako America $393,200.00
Staff checked the licensing requirements and references for the low bidder, GCI Construction, and found everything in order, therefore, as
lowest responsive and responsible bidder, a recommendation to award the contract is being made.
The addition of the property at 2252 Fairview Road will provide needed room for parking and storage of materials and equipment.
Improvements to the property at 2252 Fairview Road consist of construction of a new 8-foot-high site wall, installation of a 25-foot-wide
rolling gate at the Fairview Road driveway, and closing the Wilson Street driveway.
Subject 3. Approve Awarding Contract for the District Yard Expansion to the lowest
responsive and responsible bidder GCI Construction Inc. in the amount of
$234,150, approve a contingency of 10% in the amount of $23,415 and approve the
transfer of funds from Project #317 in the amount of $160,000.

3. Transfer $160,000 from Project #317.
Goals 1.0 Sewer Infrastructure
In order to facilitate traffic flow of the large sewer cleaning trucks, a portion of the existing westerly site wall on 174 W. Wilson Street will
be removed and both the fuel tank and a parking lot light relocated to create a pass-through. The large vehicles will enter at 174 W.
Wilson Street and exit the 2252 Fairview Road property heading north on Fairview Road.
The original budget for the project was exceeded when additional construction items were added to the project and when higher than
expected bids were received. The proposed project is small, which in itself causes higher unit prices, but the project also includes several
very detailed components. Also, most contractors have been busy for a number of years now and prices have risen. It does not appear
that re-bidding the project would reduce costs.
The proposed fire hydrant at 2252 Fairview Road is deleted from the bid award and staff believes the existing water meter on the 2252
Fairview Road property will provide adequate water.
Accepting the low bid, proposed project expenses for Project #325 are:
Construction cost $234,150
10% Contingency $ 23,415
Design – RBH (Civil Engineering/Surveying) $ 12,180

Legal Review
District Counsel prepared and signed the construction contract being considered.
Environmental Review
The Board has previously determined that the purchase and use of the property at 2252 Fairview Road, which has a garage type building
on it presently and is used as a trailer hitch assembly facility, is similar to what District desires for, namely to store vehicles and other
equipment, and therefore is exempt from CEQA as a reconstruction of an existing facility or structure with the same purpose as the
original structure ( 15 CCR 15302), as a conversion of an existing structure from one use to another with only minor exterior modifications
( 15 CCR 15303), or as an infill project ( 15 CCR 15332).
Financial Review
After reviewing the budget and approved contracts for Project #317 President Force Main, staff feels there are sufficient funds available
for the Board to approve the transfer of $160,000 from project #317 to project #325 District Yard Expansion account 20-201325-4300.

G. TREASURER'S REPORTS
To: Board of Directors
Via: Scott Carroll, General Manager
From: Marc Davis, District Treasurer
Date: January 25, 2018
Subject: Approve the Investment Report for the month of December 2017
Summary
Attached is the Investment Report for the month of December 2017. As required by the District’s Statement of Investment Policy, the
Investment Report delineates all investment activity during the month.
Recommendation
Approve the Investment Report for the month of December 2017.
Analysis
This report lists the types of securities held in the District’s portfolio, the institutions from which the securities were purchased, maturity
dates and interest rates as of December 31, 2017. The District’s investments are in compliance with the Statement of Investment Policy
adopted by the Board at the June 22, 2017 regular meeting, as well as the California Government Code. The market values in this report
were provided by our third party custodian, Pershing, LLC, except for the Local Agency Investment Fund (LAIF). The market value of
LAIF was provided by the State Treasurer’s Office. It does not represent the value of the underlying securities within the pool, but rather
the par or cost amount, which is the amount the District is entitled to withdraw. This reporting practice is consistent with industry standard
practices for similar funds.
The weighted average stated rate of return (current yield) for the District’s investment portfolio as of December 31, 2017, was 1.522%.
The yield to maturity of the portfolio was 1.528%. The District’s weighted average interest rate was 28 basis points (0.283%) above the
LAIF average monthly rate for December 2017 of 1.239%. The weighted average number of days to maturity for the District’s total
portfolio was 970 days (2.66 years). The average duration of the underlying securities in LAIF as of December 31, 2017 was 186 days.
The District’s investment portfolio is not in compliance with its liquidity limitations, which requires that a minimum of 20.00% of the
portfolio must mature within one year. The percentage of the portfolio maturing in less than one year as of December 31, 2017 was
19.39%. This shortfall was created by a reduction in liquid cash resulting from the District's purchase of property at 2252 Fairview Road.
The District has adequate cash reserves necessary to meet its obligations for the next six months.
A majority of the District’s cash and investments is reserved or set aside for specific purposes. A description of the various classifications
of the District’s cash and investments are as follows:
Solid Waste Fund:
Operating Reserve - Equal to 30% of the operations budget of the Solid Waste Fund per Operations Code
Section 4.030.020. The Operating Reserve can only be accessed with prior Board approval.
Designated for Revenue Dry Period - Equal to 5 months of budgeted operating expenses for the fiscal year
to cover the cash deficit during the period in which the District does not receive any of its annual charges
from the County of Orange.
Undesignated - Remaining available cash, which is currently used for rate stabilization and payment of
organics recycling costs.
