Subject: Accept the occupancy count as presented using 22,986 as the correct number of active units
and direct staff to prepare a warrant to CR&R Environmental Services for $238,215.41 for October
2020 collection
Summary
Accept the occupancy count as presented using 22,986 as the correct number of active units and direct staff to
prepare a warrant to CR&R Environmental Services for October 2020 collection based on this occupancy report
so long as the contractor fulfills the obligations of the agreement in the amount of $238,215.41 to be ratified in the
November 2020 warrant list.
Recommendation
That the Board of Directors accept the occupancy count as presented using 22,986 as the correct number of
active units and direct staff to prepare a warrant to CR&R Environmental Services for October 2020 collection
based on this occupancy report so long as the contractor fulfills the obligations of the agreement in the amount of
$238,215.41 to be ratified in the November 2020 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 $10.3635 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.

Subject: Approve the Investment Report for the Month of October 2020
Summary
Attached is the Investment Report for the month of October 2020. 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 October 2020.
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 October 31, 2020. The District’s investments are in compliance
with the Statement of Investment Policy adopted by the Board at the June 22, 2020 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 October 31,
2020, was 0.788%. The yield to maturity of the portfolio was 0.790%. The District’s weighted average interest rate
was 17 basis points (0.168%) above the LAIF average monthly rate for October 2020 of 0.620%. The weighted
average number of days to maturity for the District’s total portfolio was 1,079 days (2.96 years). The duration of
the underlying securities in LAIF as of October 31, 2020 was 177 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 one year or less
as of October 31, 2020 was 25.68%. The District has adequate cash reserves necessary to meet its obligations
for the next six months.
The rating on one of the District's investments, Wells Fargo medium term note, is BBB+ by Standard & Poor's.
Moody's continues to rate the security as A2. The California Government Code requires that the security be rated

in the top three ratings by a nationally recognized rating agency, which the security is. The security was placed on
the District's watch list and the ratings will continue to be monitored. The District's Investment Policy allows for a
security to continue to be held if it falls out of compliance.
Additionally, per the District's Investment Policy, investments in certificates of deposit (CDs) and negotiable
CDs cannot exceed 30.00% at the time of purchase. As of October 31, 2020, the percent invested in CDs and
negotiable CDs was 30.63%. The amount in excess of 30% is a result of a decline in the total portfolio during the
District's dry revenue period. Until such time as the CDs and negotiable CDs balance drops below 30.00%, no
further investments in CDs and negotiable CDs will be made.
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. The revenue dry period is from June through October.
Undesignated - Remaining available cash, which is currently used for rate stabilization and payment
of organics recycling costs.
Wastewater Fund:
Operating Reserve - Equal to 25% of the operations budget of the Wastewater Fund per Operations
Code Section 4.030.020. The Operating Reserve can only be accessed with prior Board approval.
Reserved for Capital Outlay - Set aside for capital improvement projects approved and budgeted by
the Board, but which have not yet been completed.
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. The revenue dry period is from June through October.
Undesignated - Remaining available cash, which is available to be appropriated by the Board.
Facilities Revolving Fund - Collection of fixture fees which is a restricted revenue source and can only be
used for new sewer facilities.
Asset Replacement Fund - Accumulation of funds for replacement of vehicles, equipment and computers.
Asset Management Fund - Accumulation of funds in accordance with the asset management model for
long-term replacement of sewer pipes and related infrastructure.

H. ATTORNEY'S REPORTS
To: Board of Directors
From: District Counsel
Date: November 23, 2020
Subject: New FPPC Rule on the "Public Generally" Exception
Summary
This presentation is to make you aware of the new FPPC Regulation 18703 that broadens the ability for the Board
to participate in a decision that might affect their financial interest, if the decision affects the public generally.
Recommendation
That the Board of Directors receive and file this report and be aware of the Regulation 18703 that governs the
"public generally" exception.
Analysis
The Fair Political Practices Commission (FPPC) has promulgated a new rule on when a public official may
participate in a decision that otherwise might have a “material financial interest effect” on the official's interest.
An exception has always existed for when a decision will have the same effect on the “public generally.” (FPPC
Reg. 18703.)
The “public generally” exception has now been established as a two-pronged test The first prong is to determine if
a “significant segment” of the population will be affected by the governing body’s decision. If a significant segment
of the population will also be affected, the second prong of the test requires an analysis of whether the effect is
unique compared on the official's interest to the rest of the population. The official will only be allowed to
participate if the effect will not be unique.
The exception has been expanded so that you can participate if your only relevant interest is your primary
residence and at least 15 percent of the residential property will have a similar effect, and there is no unique effect
on your property.
The exception has also been clarified to allow you to vote on assessments, taxes and fees or rates for broadly
provided services that are provided equally or proportionally. But you cannot vote on the (initial) imposition or to
include or exclude territory from within the assessment area or taxing area. This raises the question of how would
a Board ever impose a new tax or assessment since Board members are usually going to be residents and

Financial Review
Currently there are no financial impacts on the New FPPC Rule on the "Public Generally" Exception. However, it
will cost the District for legal counsel advice if subjects arise in the future that are related to the new negulation.
The amount is unknown at the moment.
