That the Board of Directors approve the Investment Report for the month of November 2024.
Analysis
This report lists the types of securities held in the District's portfolio, the institutions from which the securities were purchased,

Investment Policy adopted by the Board at the June 24, 2024 regular meeting, as well as the California Government Code. The

Subject:Receive and File the Popular Annual Financial Report (PAFR) for the Year Ended June 30, 2024.
Summary
Government Finance Officers Association (GFOA) established the Popular Annual Financial Reporting Program (PAFR) to
encourage governments to take information from theirAnnual Comprehensive Financial Report (ACFR) and condense it into a
smaller easily understandable document that the general public can read without a background in finance. The GFOA then
recognizes governments for their achievement. The District has won this prestigious award for the last nine years. The PAFR for
the year ending June 30, 2024 has been completed and submitted to the GFOA. It is attached for your review.
Recommendation
That the Board of Directors receive and file the Popular Annual Financial Report (PAFR) for the Year Ended June 30, 2024.
Analysis
According to GFOA's website, the GFOA established the Popular Annual Financial Reporting Awards Program (PAFR Program)
in 1991 to encourage and assist state and local governments to extract information from their annual comprehensive financial
report to produce high quality popular annual financial reports specifically designed to be readily accessible and easily
understandable to the general public and other interested parties without a background in public finance and then to recognize
individual governments that are successful in achieving that goal. The PAFR is another tool to demonstrate an agency's
transparency efforts because it takes a large comprehensive finance report, the ACFR, and condenses it to several pages using
graphs and charts so that the public can easily understand the spending trend of their local government.
Surprisingly, not many public agencies in California received thePAFR award from GFOA. In 2023, only eight municipalities in
Orange County received the PAFR award. Special recognition goes to CMSD's Finance Department for completing the audit and
creating another outstanding PAFR.

From: Scott Carroll, General Manager
Date: December 23, 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
District counsel has reviewed and approved Resolution No. 2024-997

Subject: FY 24-25 Capital Improvement Project Budget Adjustments of $85,000 and Create a New Project #530 South
Coast Plaza Sewers 136136 and 136138 Urgent Capital Repair
Summary
The District determined that two sewers within South Coast Plaza have Grade 5 defects and repairs. Sewer 136138 has several
Grade 5 defects (tap failures) and a minor offset joint. Sewer 136136 has a failed (major offset) joint that will require a dig and
replace of the failed pipe.
Engineer reviewed the current CIP project list and is requesting that Project #515 G4 & G5 Sewer Replacement/Repair budget
be adjusted to accommodate the new urgent projects: Project #530SCP Sewers 136136 and 136138 Urgent Capital Repair.
The new Project 530 provides for installing a structural liner into Sewer #136138 and replacing twenty feet of 10" sewer pipeline
in Sewer #136136.
Staff will review the proposed budget changes, appropriations, and recommendations in detail during the verbal report.
Recommendation
That the Board of Directors:
1.Adopt Project #530 categorically exempt under the California SCP Sewers 136136 and 136138 Urgent Capital Repairs as
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) (Public Resources Code Section 21000 et. seq.) under Section 15302 as a Class 2 project as
stated under 15302(c); and

the FY CIP Budget; and
3. Create a new Project #530SCP Sewers 136136 and 136138 Urgent Capital RepairsBudget of $85,000.
Analysis
The Board of Directors adopted a wastewater Capital Improvement Project (CIP) budget comprising 21 wastewater projects.
Since adoption of the FY24 CIP budget, District staff determined a need for this urgent, unplanned, and unfunded Project #530.
District staff has reviewed the various projects and is proposing to adjust the CIP Project #515 budget to accommodate the new
request.
Legal Review
Legal review is not required at this time.
Environmental Review
The replacement of an existing sewer pipe with the same capacity as the existing pipe is categorically exempt under the
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) (Public Resources Code Section 21000 et. seq.) under Section 15302 as a Class 2
project as stated under 15302(c) Replacement or reconstruction of existing utility systems and/or facilities involving negligible or
no expansion of capacity.
Financial Review
The proposed $85,000budget adjustment and new project request is sufficient to cover the urgent project. Project 515 will be
reduced by $85,000 to create Project #530 budget. This action provides for no increase in the CIP outlay for the current fiscal
year. As of November 30, 2024, Project #515 G4 & G5 Sewer Replacement/Repair Budget has an available budget of $300,000.
After the budget adjustment the Project 515 ending balance will be $215,000. The totalCIP budget is$4,294,754 as of November
