Subject: Quarterly Legislative Update - Quarter 3
Summary
The Quarterly Legislative Update provides the Board of Directors with analyses of measures pending in Sacramento that are of
interest to the District. On July 22, 2010, the Board of Directors gave authority to the President to write support and/or opposition
letters on behalf of the Board if that position has been taken by an agency the District is a member of. For all other bills, staff
recommendations for formal District positions on legislation will be agendized and presented for Board action at their regular Board of
Directors meetings. When the Board takes formal action on a piece of legislation, the President will advocate the support or
opposition of individual bills as approved by the Board. This Legislative Analysis also provides the Board of Directors with informative
updates on State issues.
Recommendation
That the Board of Directors receive and file the Quarterly Legislative Update.
Analysis
As of August 2, 2019, 1,832 bills have been introduced in the Assembly and 792 bills have been introduced in the Senate.

Subject: CMSD Waste Characteriztion Studies
Summary
Waste characterization studies are used by the solid waste industry to better understand the types and amounts of materials
disposed in and diverted away from landfills. Data is collected by taking samples of waste and sorting it into material type like
newspaper and aluminum cans and weighing each type. Although the method is not perfect, the solid waste industry utilizes these
studies to report recycling totals because it is as accurate as they can get. The waste stream as a whole is just too large to accurately
report how many material types and amounts were collected on a month to month basis.
Staff Recommendation
That the Board of Directors receives and file this report.
Analysis
Waste characterization studies are used by the solid waste industry to better understand the types and amounts of materials
disposed in and diverted away from landfills. A waste characterization study is set to find out how much paper, glass, food waste, etc.
is in our waste stream. This information assists the hauler and agency in planning how to reduce waste, set up recycling programs
and conserve money and resources. Data is collected by taking samples of waste and sorting it into material type like newspaper and
aluminum cans and weighing each type. Even though waste characterization studies are an industry-standard, the data is limited
because the study can only generate estimated data so we cannot assume that the data is absolutely accurate and correct. Although
the method is not perfect, the solid waste industry utilizes these studies to report recycling totals because it is as accurate as they
can get. The waste stream as a whole is just too large to accurately report how many material types and amounts were collected on a
month to month basis. Even agencies that do their own hauling use a waste characterization study to report their recycling/landfill
information. Staff reached out to Midway City Sanitary District, which is one of the few self-hauling agencies left and the General
Manager confirmed that just like CMSD a waste characterization study is performed and used to report data.
Staff located previous waste characterization studies from 2008, 2011 and 2015. The District’s latest study was completed in June
2017 but it did not become effective until June 2018. Per CR&R, the study was completed and then forgotten about until CR&R
Administration found it. Studies for the District are completed by taking samples from both Costa Mesa routes and Newport Beach
routes and are reported as separate sets of data. On a monthly basis, CMSD receives total tonnage collected, recycled and landfilled
for each city. The data is kept separately by staff and it is shared with the corresponding City on an annual basis when they complete
the Cal Recycle reporting. The data is combined for the monthly reports to the Board of Directors so it is easy to see how the District
is doing as a whole. The 2017 waste characterization was the first one for the District since the implementation of the organics
program and the biggest change was finding "organics/fines" in the mixed waste cart. These are currently being used as alternative
daily cover along with green waste also found in the mixed waste carts. Beginning in January 2020, both of these categories will be
considered landfill material and CMSD will stop receiving recycling credit for it. Staff has inquired with CR&R if the material can be
separated at the MRF and transferred to the AD facility but it was determined that the material is too contaminated to take to Perris
and would just be landfilled instead. Staff also inquired when another waste characterization study would be completed and CR&R
responded they do not foresee completing a study anytime soon.
CMSD includes the Orange Coast College Recycling Center tonnage in its monthly diversion reports because the center is within the
District’s boundaries. Although the recycling center does not check for ID's or track where the material is coming from it is still allowed
to use towards Costa Mesa credits. CMSD’s General Manager contacted Cal Recycle to verify the numbers could be used as
recycling credits for CMSD and they did okay the usage of tonnage information. Additionally, the Costa Mesa Sanitary District
continues to report a diversion rate to its Board of Directors instead of a per capita measurement because staff believes a diversion

rate is a more accurate representation of how the District is doing. Cal Recycle has set the target of 8.5 pounds of solid waste
material per person per day in Costa Mesa. The latest data CalRecycle has available shows Costa Mesa residents disposing of 4.8
pounds of waste a day in 2017. To use the per capita measurement, CMSD would need to take into account the City as a whole
which includes multi-family, commercial, industrial and self-haul waste that CMSD does not have jurisdiction over. The formula also
takes into consideration the population who works in the city and those who live here. The CMSD has two different district boundaries
for trash and sewer services so even if staff uses the estimated population of 116,700 it would not be an accurate representation
because not everyone is a solid waste customer. If staff were to divide total tons landfilled last fiscal year (16,982.84 tons) over our
estimated District population of 116,700, CMSD would be producing 291 pounds (0.145526 tons) of waste per person per day which
is not accurate. Because of all the unknowns in this formula, a per capita measurement is not used.
On an annual basis, CR&R provides CMSD with a Master Manifest for the fiscal year which gets audited by CMSD staff and an
independent contractor. The master manifest is a summary of the transportation and disposal of all waste from CMSD is logged. The
manifest shows disposal volumes, nature of waste, transporter and disposal sites used. Previously, CR&R would report recycled tons
for all the jurisdictions serviced by them but CMSD only audits the material collected from our service area. Going forward only the
material collected during the fiscal for CMSD will be reported. Attachment A below is a copy of the 2017 waste characterization study
for review.

Subject: Discussion about Public Outreach Efforts for the Sewer Inspection Rebate Program
Summary
On July 26, 2018, the Board of Directors approved amending the District's Sewer Lateral Assistance Program that offers free closed-
circuit television (CCTV) video of single family homeowner's sewer lateral. One of the amendments approved by the Board was
changing the program's name to Sewer Inspection Rebate Program (SIRP). The Board directed staff to bring this item back for
discussion regarding public outreach efforts that can increase homeowners participation in the program.
Analysis
On July 26, 2018, the Board approved the following public outreach efforts.
1. Create online application form to ease process and help monitor available funds;
2. Enhance social media presence by establishing "Nextdoor" account to directly target specific neighborhoods;
3. Increase advertising in newsletter by including details in every issue until conclusion of the program;
4. Advertise program via banner on the side of CR&R trucks; and
5. Include mailer inside Mesa Water bi-monthly billings to market program(cheaper than doing individual mailings ourselves).
The following is an update of the District's public outreach efforts.
1. An online application form is created and available on the District's website at http://www.cmsdca.gov/index.php/wastewater/sewer-
inspection-rebate-program.
2. Staff reached out to Nextdoor and were told they only make the app available to first responders. Nextdoor was considering a pilot
program where they would charge government agencies a fee, but the pilot program never came to fruition. CMSD does have a
citizens account for HQ, but not many residents reside within CMSD's account due to HQ's proximity to industrial and commercial
buildings.
3. The SIRP was advertised in the Fall 2018 newsletter, but it wasn't advertised again until a year later in the Fall 2019 edition. Staff
will place another announcement about SIRP in the Winter 2019 newsletter.
4. A banner has not been created for CR&R trucks. Staff is in the process of collaborating with CR&R to create such a banner. A
banner should be displayed by October 2019.
5. Due to budget constraints, mailers about SIRP inside Mesa Water bi-monthly billings was not performed. It cost approximately
$1,500 to ensure all CMSD customers receive the mailers from Mesa Water
Staff believes advertising in the District newsletter and the banner on CR&R refuse trucks are the most cost effective methods for
outreach. Staff will continue to use social media (e.g. Facebook and twitter) and include mailer inside Mesa Water bills. On August
16, 2019, all the theaters at Starlight Triangle Square Cinemas will be advertising SIRP before movies begin as part of celebrating the
District's 75th Anniversary. The SIRP advertisement will run through October 10.

Financial Review
Since the Board approved the SIRP amendments on July 26, 2018, the District has received 96 applications in FY 2018-19, but only
34 out of the 96 applications received rebates totaling $14,100. After a resident submits an online SIRP application, the resident will
receive a confirmation number from staff and has three months to submit a CCTV video along with receipts to staff. If no video
and/or receipts are received within the three month timeframe, the resident will forfeit his/her application and must submit a new
application. Notices are mailed to residents when they're approaching the three month deadline. A total of $50,000 was budgeted in
FY 2018-19 for the program and $26,100 was carried over from FY 2017-18, giving the program a budget of $76,100. In the current
FY 2019-20, a total of $30,000 is budgeted for SIRP. The District received three applications since July 1, 2019.

Subject: Consider Approving Date, Time and Activities for State of the District/Open House Event in October
Summary
In the past several years, the District will schedule the State of the District in October where the Board President will highlight District
achievements during the past year and describes what lays ahead for the future of CMSD. Since moving into the Paularino Avenue
building, the District would combine the State of the District with an open house to allow the public to tour inside HQ.
Recommendation
That the Board of Directors give staff direction on approving the date, time and activities for State of the District/Open House Event in
October
Analysis
This year, staff is recommending the Board consider scheduling the State of the District/Open House event on Saturday, October 12.
The purpose for having a Saturday event is to attract a larger attendance. Last year, the State of the District was held in the morning,
which had 21 people in attendance. In 2017, the event was held in the evening and had 41 people in attendance. With most people
having the day off on Saturday, staff believes over 50 people could possibly attend this years State of the District. In addition, staff
recommends having departmental booths throughout HQ where staff can showcase and explain their role at the District, and in the
parking lot we will have on display our new wastewater cleaning truck as well as the District's utility truck. Staff can demonstrate in
the parking lot how we clean wastewater pipes and how to use the crane on the utility truck.
