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 2024.
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, 2024. The District's investments are in compliance with the Statement of
Investment Policy adopted by the Board at the June 24, 2024 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, 2024, was
2.544%. The yield to maturity of the portfolio was 2.544%. The District's weighted average interest rate was 197 basis points
(1.974%) below the LAIF average monthly rate of 4.518% for the month of October 2024. The weighted average number of days
to maturity for the District's total portfolio was 405 days (1.11 years). The duration of the underlying securities in LAIF as of
October 31, 2024 was 257 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, 2024 was
60.19%. The District has adequate cash reserves necessary to meet its obligations for the next six months.

Subject:Public Review of Draft Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan (MJHMP)
Summary
The Costa Mesa Sanitary District is joining the Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan, which is a long-term strategy that
helps local governments reduce the impact of disasters on people, property and the environment.The plan aims to break the
cycle of disaster damage and reconstruction by identifying natural disaster risks and vulnerabilities, and then developing
strategies to protect people and property from similar events. Adopted hazard mitigation plans are required by the Federal
Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) to be eligible to receive federal grant funds from the agency. Staff will be seeking
hazard mitigation grant funds from FEMA to help finance Project No. 341, Elden Pump Station Forcemain Redundancy Project,
but first the district needs an adopted hazard mitigation plan.
On August 26, 2024, the Board of Directors directed staff to begin engaging with members of the public about the MJHMP and
allow them opportunities to provide feedback about the plan. Soon after August 26, a page was created on CMSD'swebsite
dedicated to the plan. On the page is an online survey link members of the public are encouraged to complete. In addition, staff
engaged with with public on social media outlets and in CMSD's quarterly newsletter, which was mailed to over 23,000 homes.
See attachments.
The draft MJHMP along with CMSD's Annex to the Plan are now complete and ready for public review and comment.
Recommendation
That the Board of Directors:
1. Receive and file comments from the public about the Draft Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan, including CMSD's
Annex; and
2. Provide comments about the MJHMP and CMSD's Annex.
Analysis
The Water Emergency Response of Orange County (WEROC) is coordinating the multi-jurisdiction project that will update the
group'sMulti-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan (MJHMP), which will be the strategic plan to assess and reduce the threats
that our communities face from current and future hazard conditions. Based on preliminary discussions, these hazards include:
Climate Change
Coastal Hazards
Coastal Storms
Coastal Erosion
Sea level rise
Tsunami
Dam/Reservoir Failure
Flood
Geologic Hazards
Expansive Soils
Land Subsidence
Landslide/Mudflow
Human-Caused Hazards
Contamination/salt water intrusion
Hazardous Materials
Power Outage
Terrorism (Cyberthreat)
Terrorism (Mass-casualty incident)
Seismic Hazard
Fault Rupture
Liquefaction
SeismicShaking
Severe Weather
Drought
Extreme Heat
Windstorm (Santa Ana Winds)
Urban Fire
Wildfire
The overarching goals of the MJHMP include but are not limited to:
Goal 1: Minimize vulnerabilities of critical facilities and infrastructure to minimize damages and loss of life and injury to human life
caused by hazards.
Goal 2: Minimize security risks to water and wastewater infrastructure.
Goal 3: Minimize interruption to water and wastewater utilities.
Goal 4: Improve public outreach, awareness, education, and preparedness for hazards in order to increase the community
resilience.
Goal 5: Eliminate or minimize wastewater/recycled water spills and overflows (Wastewater agencies).
Goal 6: Protect water quality and supply, critical aquatic resources and habitat to ensure a safe water supply.
Goal 7: Strengthen emergency response services, workforce training, and education enhancement to ensure preparedness,
response, and recovery during any major or multi-hazard event.
The multi-jurisdictions that are participating in the MJHMP include the following:
Costa Mesa Sanitary District
El Toro Water District
Irvine Ranch Water District
Laguna Beach County Water District
Mesa Water District
Moulton Niguel Water District
Municipal Water District of Orange County
Orange County Sanitation District
Orange County Water District
Santa Margarita Water District
Serrano Water District
South Coast Water District
South Orange County Wastewater Authority
Trabuco Canyon Water District
Yorba Linda Water District
Guidelines from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) require that the agency preparing the plan create
opportunities for members of the public to be involved in developing their MJHMP and that these opportunities are documented.
This process helps ensure the MJHMP reflects community values, concerns, and priorities. Vicki Osborn, Director of Emergency
Management for WEROC will be providing a presentation about the draft plan.
On November 13, 2024, CMSD's Citizens Advisory Committee (CAC) reviewed and commented on the draft plan and CMSD's
Annex.
The CAC had concerns about the availability of generators providing redundancy power when the South Coast Air Quality
Management District is attempting to phase out diesel powered generators. CAC requested the goals of theMJHMP be amended
to include language aboutthe management of solid waste and debris as part of clean-up efforts from a catastrophic disaster
event.
The draft MJHMP and CMSD's Annex are available on CMSD's for public viewing and commenting.website

From: Scott Carroll, General Manager
Date: November 25, 2024
Subject:Consider Authorizing Continuation of Resolution No. 2024-997 Confirming an Emergency to Replace Critical
Infrastructure of the South Coast Plaza Pump Station
Summary
On August 26, 2024, the Board of Directors received a report from staff about emergency work at the South Coast Plaza (SCP)
Pump Station. An 8-inch sewer line failed and due to the abundance of ground water, a liner to rehabilitate the pipe could not be
performed.
The District initiated emergency bypass pumping, then isolated the SCP sewer, and restored service to the SCP Mall using
temporarty pumps and hoses. The general manager declared an emergency and then the District hired TE RobertsConstruction
Inc, (TER) to assist with the emergency operation activities. The Board of Directors adopted Resolution No. 2024-997 confirming
an emergency and ratifying an order of the general manager to replace critical infrastructure of the South Coast Plaza (SCP)
Pump Station.
Recommendation
That the Board of Directors:
1. Adopt Project #355 SCP Emergency Sewer Replacement as statutory exempt under the California Environmental Quality Act
(CEQA) (Public Resources Code Section 21000 et. seq.) under Section 15269(b), Emergency Projects.
2. Approve authorizing continuation of Resolution No. 2024-997
Analysis
The pump station is currently stabilized and protected, but South Coast Plaza (SCP) operating on an emergency/temporary by-
pass pump system. The station is being monitored on a daily basis and the by-pass system is routinely inspected to ensure its
operating effectively. After meeting with SCP mall leadership, it was agreed the construction work should begin after the
holidays. This delay provides time for the District to firm up the emergency construction plans and activities to start in January
2025.
Since August 26, the district performed geotechnical study, installed test well pumps, performed pump capacity & draw-down
testing, and designs are currently underway. Staff is meeting with SCP on a continual basis to resolves issues such as staging
area, temporary forcemain location, sewer bypass system, dewatering well discharge, among other items.
Because the station is being operated on emergency by-pass system, staff is recommending this project is continued as an
emergency in case the by-pass system fails in which the district can perform immediate improvements without going through the
bidding process, and thus, avoiding a sanitary sewer overflow and ensuring SCP mall can still operate.Not authorizing this
Emergency Resolution will delay the project by about 10 months. Distric staff suggest that a 10-month delay will create risk of
failure and possibly a major sanitary sewer overflow.
To approve authorizing continuation of Resolution No. 2024-997, a 4/5 vote by the Board of Directors is required. A roll call vote
is appropriate.
Legal Review
