Subject: Accept the occupancy count as presented as 22,787 and direct staff to prepare a warrant to CR&R Environmental
Services for $223,207.78 for April 2019 collection
Summary
Accept the occupancy count as presented using 22,787 as the correct number of active units and direct staff to prepare a warrant to
CR&R Environmental Services for April 2019 collection based on this occupancy report so long as the contractor fulfills the
obligations of the agreement in the amount of $223,207.78 to be ratified in the May 2019 warrant list.
Recommendation
That the Board of Directors accept the occupancy count as presented using 22,787 as the correct number of active units and direct
staff to prepare a warrant to CR&R Environmental Services for April 2019 collection based on this occupancy report so long as the
contractor fulfills the obligations of the agreement in the amount of $223,207.78 to be ratified in the May 2019 warrant list.
Analysis
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. As of April 30, 2019, total District occupancy was at 22,787,
with thirteen (13) accounts added since the last billing period. District staff will continue to track the number of new service
addresses.
The payment calculation is based on the following:
District's Current Rate for April 2019:
22,787 x $9.7954 =$223,207.78

Date: May 23, 2019
Subject: Approve the Investment Report for the Month of April 2019
Summary
Attached is the Investment Report for the month of April 2019. As required by the District’s Statement of
Investment Policy, the Investment Report delineates all investment activity during the month.
Recommendation
That the Board of Directors approve the Investment Report for the month of April 2019.
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 April 30, 2019. The District’s investments are in compliance with
the Statement of Investment Policy adopted by the Board at the July 26, 2018 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 April 30, 2019,
was 2.026%. The yield to maturity of the portfolio was 2.030%. The District’s weighted average interest rate
was 39 basis points (0.385%) below the LAIF average monthly rate for April 2019 of 2.445%. The weighted average
number of days to maturity for the District’s total portfolio was 475 days (1.30 years). The average duration of the
underlying securities in LAIF as of April 30, 2019 was 179 days.
The District’s investment portfolio is 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 April 30, 2019 was 43.02%. 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.

D. PUBLIC HEARING - CONSIDERATION OF ANNUAL SOLID WASTE COLLECTION
CHARGES TO BE COLLECTED WITH THE GENERAL TAXES
To: Board of Directors
From: Scott Carroll, General Manager
Date: May 23, 2019
Subject: Presentation of Report Justifying Increases -- Public Hearing and Consideration of Annual Solid Waste
Collection Charges to be Collected with the General Taxes
Summary
On March 12, 2019, the Board of Directors performed the following action:
1. Accepted the solid waste rate study by NBS Government Finance Group; and
2. Selected Option 2 identified in the study that will increase solid waste rates over a five-year period from the current rate of $216.00
annually or $18.00 a month to $289.20 annually or $24.10 a month by Fiscal Year 2023-24. Option 2 will eliminate the solid waste
deficit in five years.
3. Directed staff to prepare and mail Proposition 218 Notice to all CMSD property owners receiving solid waste services at least 45
days prior to a scheduled public hearing; and
4. Schedule a public hearing on May 23, 2019 to consider adopting new solid waste rates.
Tonight, the Board will open a public hearing to hear and consider all public comments regarding the charges, but only written
protests submitted prior to the close of the public hearing will be considered when determining whether a majority protest against the
higher charges exists. It is District policy that four affirmative votes from Board of Directors are required to impose new charges.
However, there will be three Board members attending tonights meeting, so tonight the Board will determine whether a majority
protest occurred and if no majority protest exist, staff will bring back a resolution for the Board to consider adopting on June 27, 2019
that confirms the new solid waste charges in FY 2019-20.
Recommendation
That the Board of Directors:
1. Determine whether a majority protest occurred for increasing the solid waste charge.
2. If there is not a majority protest, direct staff to return on June 27, 2019 with a resolution confirming the charges; and
3. Direct the District Clerk to Notice a Public Hearing for the Imposition of the Charges on the Tax Roll.
Analysis
In 2015, the District's Curbside Organics Recycling Program began where green waste and food scraps are collected and converted
into Renewable Natural Gas by using anaerobic digestion technology. The new program was implemented without increasing the
solid waste charge for solid waste collection services. For the past four years, the Solid Waste Fund has been operating at a deficit,
but due to excess money in the Solid Waste Reserve Fund, the District was able to balance the deficit spending. By next fiscal year

3. Direct the District Clerk to Notice a Public Hearing for the Imposition of the Charges on

Goals 2.00 Solid Waste
(2019-20), there will not be enough money in the Solid Waste Reserve Fund to cover all the deficit spending in the Solid Waste
Program, so the annual solid waste charge of $216.00 will need to be increased for the first time in fifteen years.
The District hired NBS Government Finance Group to perform a feasibility study to determine a fair and equitable charge increase
that will cover all costs associated to the District's Solid Waste Program as well as increasing the balance of the Solid Waste Reserve
Fund. The consultant developed two options that included tier and flat charges. Attached is a copy of the study. Both options were
presented to the Citizens Advisory Committee on January 9 and February 13, 2019 and to the Board of Directors on February 12 and
March 12, 2019. On March 12, the Board selected a flat charge increase over a five-year period that will increase from $216.00
to $289.20 annually by Fiscal Year 2023-24. In addition, the Board directed staff to prepare a mailed Proposition 218 Notice to all
CMSD property owners receiving solid waste collection services at least 45 days prior to a scheduled public hearing and the Board
scheduled the public hearing to occur on May 23, 2019.
Proposition 218
Proposition 218 was passed by the voters in 1996 and imposes substantive and procedural requirements on the District with respect
to increasing any charges.
Regarding the substantive provisions of Proposition 218, the law provides that each “property related charge” must meet the following
tests:
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 chare 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 or future use of a service are not permitted. Standby
charges must be classified as assessments and must not be imposed without compliance with the proportionally 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.
This report has been made available to the public for their review. Once that report has been presented, the Board should ask any
questions of staff and then ask the District Clerk to provide the status report on whether any protests have been received. The District
Clerk has provided notice by mail to all parcels subject to the charges. The law provides that if written protests are presented by a
majority of the owners of the parcels, the charges may not be imposed. Since only written protests can be considered, staff has
developed forms for the use of the protesting owners so that any person wishing to protest tonight can have their vote counted. There
are 18,234 parcels that are subject to the charges being considered tonight. If there is not a sufficient protest, the Board may
consider whether or not to impose the charge and adopt a resolution on June 27, 2019.
The proposed solid waste charge for 2019-20 is $224.88 per dwelling unit for the 2019-20 annual solid waste collection charge for
basic service. 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 solid waste 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 solid waste collection services. No components other than those directly related to providing the
service are used to establish the charge. The components include solid waste collection, disposal, recycling,
education and special programs, and administration.
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 to be used only for the components of providing solid waste collection services 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
costs of all components of providing the basic collection 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. Basic collection service is two
mixed waste carts and two organics carts. Property owners that exceed basic service by having more than two
mixed waste carts and/or two organics carts pay added charges in addition to the basic service. The added charges
are not collected with the general taxes.
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 or future use of a service are not permitted. Standby
charges must be classified as assessments and must not be imposed without compliance with the proportionally requirement
for assessments. The 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 solid waste collection service or that
receive service from other entities providing solid waste collection, are not charged.
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. No fee or charge is imposed
for general governmental services such as police, fire, ambulance, or libraries, but is only imposed for solid waste
collection services. The District provides only solid waste collection and wastewater collection service and all
charges collected for solid waste collection are used only for that purpose.
Legal Review
District Counsel has reviewed and approved this staff report. If, a majority protest does not occur, then District Counsel will prepare a
resolution for the Board to consider adopting on June 27, 2019.
Environmental Review
Consideration of a solid waste charge increase is an administrative matter and not a disturbance of the environment similar to
grading or construction and not a project under CEQA or the District’s CEQA Guidelines.
Financial Review
If a majority protest does not occur at the public hearing, the proposed charge of $224.88 per dwelling unit will generate $5,165,000
in revenue in FY 2019-20. Even though revenues will increase by $440,000 it will not be enough to balance the 2019-20 Solid Waste
Budget. Money from the Solid Reserve Fund will be used to balance the budget. By Fiscal Year 2023-24, the solid waste charge will
be enough to balance the Solid Waste Budget and generate additional revenues to increase the balance of the Solid Waste Reserve
Fund, which will be used to stabilize the solid waste charge in future years.
Public Notice Process
Copies of this report are on file and will be included in the complete agenda packet for the May 23, 2019 Board of Directors
regular meeting at District Headquarters and posted on the District’s website.
Alternative Actions
1. If a majority protest occurs at the public hearing, direct staff to bring back recommended expenditure reductions for the Solid
Waste Program.

Subject: Preliminary Budget Review For FY 2019-2020 and FY 2020-2021
Summary
The following represents staff’s proposed preliminary Biennial Budget for the Fiscal Years 2019-2020 and 2020-2021. Staff is
requesting direction from the Board on the attached preliminary budget. The two-year budget will be brought back with the Board's
recommendations incorporated to the June 2019 Study Session meeting. Staff will be requesting adoption of the two-year budget on
June 27, 2019.
On May 14, 2019, staff presented the preliminary Biennial Budget to the Board for review and comments. The preliminary budget is
being presented again tonight to ensure the public has an opportunity to review and comment on the proposed spending plan for the
next two years and to give the Board an opportunity to ask additional questions or inquire more information, if needed.
Recommendation
That the Board of Directors provide feedback to staff regarding the proposed FY 2019-20 and FY 2020-21 Budgets
Analysis
Preliminary Budget FY 2019-2020:
The total preliminary budget for FY 2019-2020 is $12,447,000. The Solid Waste Fund preliminary budget of $6,512,000 assumes that
expenses will exceed revenues by $584,000 creating a deficit which will require the use of reserves to balance the budget. This
deficit was planned to reduce reserves in the Solid Waste Fund when the Board lowered the annual rate from $239.41 in fiscal year
2013-2014 to the current rate of $216. In addition to lowering the annual rate, the Board of Directors voted to implement the Organics
Program effective July 1, 2015 without increasing rates to further reduce reserves. The Solid Waste Fund has been operating at a
deficit, therefore, the Board decided to conduct a solid waste rate study. Based on the rate study conducted, the Board of Directors
recommended a five-year rate structure that will increase revenues and eliminate the deficit spending. A public hearing is scheduled
for May 23, 2019 to determine whether there is a majority protest of the proposed rate increase by property owners, in accordance
with Proposition 218 guidelines. If a majority protest does not exist, the Board will consider adopting the five-year rate structure on
June 27, 2019, which will be as follows:
Current Rate
2018-19 - $216 annually or $18.00 a month
Proposed
2019-20 - $224.88 annually or $18.74 a month
2020-21 - $240.60 annually or $20.05 a month
2021-22 - $257.40 annually or $21.45 a month
2022-23 - $272.88 annually or $22.74 a month
2023-24 - $289.20 annually or $24.10 a month

7.0 Finance
The Wastewater Fund reflects a balanced budget of $5,935,000. The fiscal year 2017-2018 was the last year of the five-year 2% rate
increase from the 2012 Sewer Rate Study adopted by the Board. The District is not planning to increase wastewater rates for the
next two years. Wastewater revenue is projected to increase slightly due to an increase in new accounts during the year.
This preliminary budget included the Class and Compensation Study and the Cost of Living Adjustment (COLA) to salaries equal to
the February to February Consumer Price Index (CPI) for the Los Angeles-Long Beach-Anaheim area of 2.5% the Board of Directors
approved on April 25, 2019.
CR&R submitted a 5.8% CPI rate increase request on March 29, 2019. Per section 3.4 of the 2018 CR&R contract, hauler rates may
be considered for a Consumer Price Index (CPI) adjustment every two years during the term of the agreement. The hauler may
request a two-year CPI adjustment using prior years' data to be applied for the two future years. Per the contract, CPI increases are
not automatic and need Board of Directors approval. The District is in the process of auditing the hauler's revenues to verify CR&R’s
profit margin before the Board of Directors to approve or to reject the rate increase requested. While waiting on the Board of
Director’s approval in June 2019, for budgeting purposes the preliminary budget included the maximum 5.8% rate increase.
Staff is requesting Capital Outlay funds total budget of $138,000 for the continuation of replacement and upgrades to District's
servers and software, replacement of two rooftop air condition units and a new Superintendent truck.
Preliminary Budget FY 2020-2021:
The total preliminary budget for FY 2020-2021 is $12,571,000. The Solid Waste Fund preliminary budget of $6,626,000 assumes that
expenses will exceed revenues by $317,000 thus creating a deficit which will require the use of reserves to balance the budget. This
will be the second year of a five-year rate increase. As mentioned previously, wastewater rate is stabilized until the rate study is
conducted in the future. Wastewater revenue is projected to increase slightly due to an increase of new accounts during the year.
The fiscal year 2020-2021 preliminary budget included the reclassification of the Engineering Technician to Engineering
Technician/Construction Inspector as the Board of Directors approved in the Class and Compensation study on April 2019. In
addition, staff included an estimate for the Cost of Living Adjustment (COLA) to salaries of 2.5% for budgeting proposes.
Staff is requesting Capital Outlay funds total budget of $119,000 for the continuation of replacement and upgrades to District's
servers and software and a new electric car for the Engineering Technician/Construction Inspector.
Capital Improvement Projects:
Staff is requesting $1,755,000 and $1,567,000 for Capital Improvement Projects for fiscal years 2019-2020 and 2020-2021,
respectively. As shown on the attached Capital Improvement Project Summary, there are six projects which will not be complete by
June 30, 2019, therefore staff will request that they be carried forward.

E. GENERAL MANAGER'S REPORTS
To: Board of Directors
Via: Scott Carroll, General Manager
From: Kaitlin Tran, Finance Manager
Date: May 23, 2019
Subject: Adopt Resolution No. 2019-918 Certifying To the Board of Supervisors and County Auditor a Statement of
Delinquent and Unpaid Charges for Sewer and Other Services and Requesting Collection with the Annual Taxes Imposing a
Lien.
Summary
In 2016 Costa Mesa Sanitary District (the District) and CR&R had a discrepancy in the occupancy accounts and billing. The process
started when the District’s Finance Department noticed the District was paying CR&R more for occupancy accounts than what were
charged on the assessments. Staff audited records from CR&R and the District’s accounting system. Staff also visited addresses to
verify solid waste carts. As a result, it was determined that the District has been providing solid waste and wastewater services to 95
addresses but property owners were not being charged on their property tax assessments. The majority of the addresses are
residential and the others are commercial. Some addresses have been receiving free services for over four years. However, the
District has a time limitation of back-charge of three years plus the current year.
Recommendation
That the Board of Directors approve Resolution No. 2019-918 Certifying To the Board of Supervisors and County Auditor a Statement
of Delinquent and Unpaid Charges for Sewer and Other Services and Requesting Collection with the Annual Taxes Imposing a Lien.
Analysis
Findings for these addresses to dropped out during the assessments process includes:
1. Number of units for homes were incorrect in the District’s system. For example, instead of three units the District’s system
listed only one unit and CR&R has been charging for three units.
2. New homes were purchased and paid a prorated fee to initiate services but the accounts were not added to the assessments
because the assessor’s parcel number (APN) was not available at the time of the assessment process.
3. Addresses listed as exempt when they should not have been.
In February 2018, staff notified the owners of these properties by sending a letter, an invoice and previous years property tax bills.
Instead of collecting a onetime payment, the District offered payment plans. Property owners were able to make payments from
February 2018 to December 31, 2018 for the amount owed and if unpaid amounts were not received by the due date they would be
placed on fiscal year 2019-20 assessments.
Legal Review
Staff submitted the matter to District Counsel who prepared the resolution and recommends adoption.

E. GENERAL MANAGER'S REPORTS
To: Board of Directors
From: Scott Carroll, General Manager
Date: May 23, 2019
Subject: Consider Creating a Policy Review Ad Hoc Committee and Appoint Two Board Members to Serve on the
Committee
Summary
Every so often, the Board of Directors will form a temporary ad hoc committee to review District policies and ordinances to ensure the
documents are up to date with existing laws and District procedures. The last time the Board formed an ad hoc committee to review
policies and ordinances was in 2015. Secretary Schafer and Director Perry served on the 2015 Ad Hoc Committee.
Recommendation
That the Board of Directors create a Policy Review Ad Hoc Committee and Appoint Two Board Members to Serve on the Committee
Analysis
The Costa Mesa Sanitary District has three policy manuals.
1. The Administrative Regulations, which are internal procedures for administrative operations. The procedures apply to staff
only. The General Manager has the authority to approve new and/or amended administrative polices, in accordance with
Operations Code Section 3.02.060.
2. The Operations Code are local laws adopted by the Board of Directors and it’s these codes that govern CMSD. The
Operations Code applies to staff, the Board of Directors and CMSD residents.
3. The Employee Handbook is a book of rules, policies and procedures regarding personnel matters such as recruitment,
compensation and benefits, behavior standards and safety measures. The General Manager has authority to amend some
policies in the handbook, but portions of the handbook are approved by the Board as well (e.g. compensation and benefits).
The Committee will review all three manuals and report back to the Citizens Advisory Committee (CAC), and eventually the Board,
with their recommended amendments, if any. On May 16, 2019, the CAC appointed two members to serve on the Committee. Staff
will provide the names of the appointed CAC members at tonight's meeting.
Legal Review
Not applicable at this time; however, District Counsel will provide comments to the Committee's suggested amendments.
Environmental Review
Revising subject documents is an administrative matter and is categorically exempt under 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
There are not financial impacts to the District for reviewing and updating District policies and ordinances.

E. GENERAL MANAGER'S REPORTS
To: Board of Directors
From: Scott Carroll, General Manager
Date: May 23, 2019
Subject: Consider Approving Amendment to Robin Hamers & Associates Agreement for Construction Inspection
Services
Summary
On April 25, 2019, the Board of Directors directed staff to bring back an amendment to Robin Hamers & Associates Agreement for
construction inspection services. Attached is the Amendment.
Recommendation
That the Board of Directors approve the Amendment to Robin Hamers & Associates Agreement for construction inspection services
Analysis
The attached agreement identifies the distinction between public works and private inspections because the rates differ for each.
Public works inspections requires prevailing wage, so RBH hourly rate for public works inspections is $98.00 an hour. Currently, the
California prevailing wage rate for construction inspection at 74.90 an hour. Private projects do not require prevailing wage for
construction inspection. RBH hourly rate for inspecting private projects is $65.00 an hour.
The Amendment also stipulates that RBH will mentor and transfer of knowledge construction inspection services to the District's
Engineering Technician position for one year or longer. The Engineering Technician is in training to be a public works construction
inspector. It is anticipated by FY 2020-21 the Engineering Technician will complete his training and will be a certified inspector
qualified to inspect public works projects. By then, RBH will primarily be inspecting private projects, but will occasionally provide
public works inspections when the District's Engineering Technician/Construction Inspector is on leave.
Legal Review
District Counsel prepared the Second Amendment for approval consideration.
Environmental Review
Construction Inspection is an administrative matter, which will not result in direct or indirect physical changes to the environment
similar to grading or construction and is not considered a project under CEQA.
Financial Review
RBH hourly rate for public works inspections is $98.00 an hour and for private projects RBH hourly rate is $65.00 an hour. The
current hourly rate for construction inspection services, provided by AndersonPenna, is $125.00 an hour, so the hourly rate will
decrease substantially if the Second Amendment is approved by the Board.

From: Gina Terraneo, Management Analyst II
Date: May 23, 2019
Subject: Consider Approving the Priceless Pet Rescue Contribution Program Application
Summary
On April 15, 2019, the District received a Contribution Application from Priceless Pet Rescue to provide a monetary sponsorship for
the 6th Annual Pack Walk event at TeWinkle Park in Costa Mesa.
Recommendation
That the Board of Directors:
1. Establish the purpose CMSD is trying to serve as a contributor to Priceless Pet Rescue; and
2. Describe how the expenditures will advance CMSD’s purpose; and
3. Consider contributing $250 to have a booth at the Priceless Pet Rescue PACK WALK 2019 event to promote the District's special
solid waste and wastewater programs.
Analysis
According to the procedures implemented on July 31, 2013, the Board of Directors must do the following in order to determine if a
contribution should be made:
Establish the purpose the District is trying to serve by contributing. This purpose must be established as one of the District’s
statutory powers or a power that would be incidental to those purposes. For example, District purposes include properly
treating sewage, preventing SSOs, and recycling.
Describe how the contribution will advance the District's purpose.
About Priceless Pet Rescue & the Pack Walk Event:
Under an agreement with the City, Priceless Pet Rescue opened "The Orphanage" as the official animal adoption center of the City of
Costa Mesa in January of 2019. This is Priceless Pet Rescue's 4th adoption center, and it is a non-profit, no-kill rescue center that
relies 100% on donations and fundraising. To celebrate the center's opening, Priceless Pet Rescue is hosting its 6th Annual Pack
Walk in TeWinkle Park in Costa Mesa. It is their premier fundraising event of the year, and they hope to have up to 500 attendees.
Funds raised by the event will be used to help raise capital for the expansion and improvements of Priceless Pet Rescue's adoption
centers and services, as well as provide full-time care for unwanted, neglected, and abandoned animals. In Costa Mesa, there is a
need for the construction of an outdoor play yard and a large van to transport animals to adoption events.
Sponsorship Request:
Priceless Pet Rescue originally submitted a request for a sponsorship of $5,000; however, this amount exceeds the available funding
in the District's sponsorship accounts. District staff contacted Priceless Pet Rescue and they agreed to offer the District a booth at the

event with the lowest sponsorship about of $250. This sponsorship would also include mentions on their social media and newsletter.
Additionally, the District offered to provide event recycling receptacles for the event, which will be coordinated by CR&R.
Recommended Purpose:
If the Board wishes to sponsor this event, a finding can be made that the contribution will advance the District's purposes of recycling
and proper disposal of waste. By hosting a District booth at the event, District staff can provide attendees with compostable pet waste
bags and share information about the District's Organics Recycling Program and the Medication drop box. Pet waste can be disposed
of in the Organics Recycling Cart and expired/unwanted pet medications can be safely disposed of in the District's Medication drop
box.
Legal Review
Not applicable.
Environmental Review
The consideration of a monetary contribution to a non-profit organization to be used as a vehicle for promoting the District 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.
Financial Review
Currently, there are sufficient funds available in the FY 2018-19 Solid Waste and Wastewater Public
Information/Education/Community Promotions Sponsorships accounts for a $250 contribution. A total of $8,000 is budgeted for
sponsorships during FY 2018-2019 and the District has a total of $3,481.29 remaining.

Subject: Consider Approving the Costa Mesa High School Football Boosters Contribution Program Application
Summary
On April 22, 2019, the District received a Contribution Application from the Costa Mesa High School (CMHS) Mustang Football
Boosters to sponsor a banner for the 2019-2020 school year. The Boosters are seeking a monetary contribution of $500-$1,000 to
hang 1-2 stadium banners on the CMHS campus. Last school year, the District sponsored one Organics Recycling Program banner
at Mustangs Field (pictured in Attachment C). District staff has designed a new Organics Recycling Banner (Attachment D) to
potentially replace the old banner.
Recommendation
That the Board of Directors:
1. Establish the purpose CMSD is trying to serve as a contributor to the Costa Mesa High Football Boosters; and
2. Describe how the expenditures will advance CMSD’s purpose; and
3. Consider contributing $500 to hang a new Organics Recycling Program banner at Mustangs field.

As stated in Attachment A, the Costa Mesa Football Boosters are requesting $500-$1,000 for a stadium banner or banners. Below

3.00 Partnerships
$1,0000 2 banners - one inside stadium and one on the fence facing Arlington for the entire school year, plus listing on the website
and social media posts
The banners are displayed for the entire school year, and they are taken down during the summer. If the Board wishes to sponsor this
banner, the Board can make a finding that the contribution will advance the District's purpose of recycling by promoting the Organics
Recycling Program with a banner that includes messaging to encourage use of the Organics Recycling Cart to recycle green waste
and food scraps.
Due to the District's limited Sponsorship budget, staff is recommending a $500 sponsorship of a single banner in Mustangs Field. The
banner would promote District messaging at Mustangs Field, which hosts highly attended sporting events throughout the school year.
In past years, the District has used the design shown in Attachment C to promote the Organics Recycling Program. This image
encourages residents to recycle their food scraps and green waste through the Organics Recycling Program. The banner also directs
residents to the District's Organics Recycling Program webpage to learn more about the program. If the Board of Directors approves
the sponsorship of a banner, District staff is proposing to use the newly designed artwork (Attachment D), which delivers similar
messaging and updated images.
