MINUTES OF SEWER SYSTEM COMMITTEE MEETING
APRIL 13, 2010
CALL TO ORDER Board members of the Costa Mesa Sanitary District
met in Committee session on April 13, 2010 at 10:30
a.m. at 628 W. 19'h Street, Costa Mesa.
Director Monahan called the meeting to order at
10:40 a.m.
DIRECTORS PRESENT: Gary Monahan, Art Perry, Bob Ooten, Jim Ferryman
STAFF PRESENT: Scott Carroll, General Manager, Thomas A. Fauth,
Operations Manager; Sherry Kallab, Administrative
Manager; Rob Hamers, District Engineer; Karl
Dulake, Maintenance Supervisor; Debbie Bjornson,
Permit Processor; Paul Guzman, Inspector
OTHERS PRESENT:
MONTHLY SSO STATISTICS
Mr. Fauth reported no spills occurred since October 20, 2009.
POTENTIAL PERFORMANCE INDICATORS FOR JUDGING AGENCY SPILLS
A handout was provided in the Committee packet reviewing potential measures for identifying
spills. Mr. Hamers reported once every three years there is a review of the Waste Discharge
Requirements (WDR), both of the WDR itself and of the monitoring /reporting requirements. The
monitor /reporting members make up the data review committee and the data review committee
provided the potential performance indicators. The committee understands the number of spills
per hundred miles is not the best indicator and has little correlation to the spill volumes. The
information in the potential indicators is from actual data on spills and volumes of spills from
January 2006 to January 2010 statewide. The committee is evaluating the data as a replacement
to the spills per hundred miles indicator. Director Ooten noted at least ten people are looking at
the same data sets to determine a good indicator. The data does show the significance of roots
at the facility. Mr. Hamers estimated the tri- annual review should be completed by July or August
2010. Mr. Hamers will schedule a follow -up inflow reduction meeting.

SANTA MARGARITA WATER DISTRICT (SMWD) FORCE MAIN SPILL
The Committee reviewed photographs taken of the Santa Margarita force main spill. Mr. Fauth
reported a nearby creek was used as a containment vessel for the spill. The force main pipe was
24 inch. Lessons learned are forthcoming. The WDR Steering Committee is following up on,the
details. Mr. Hamers noted the pipe was only twenty years old which means something wasn't
designed or inspected properly when installed; a ductile iron pipe (DIP) force main should not
wear out in twenty years. If there is an error in installation, corrosion can cause damage very
quickly. Santa Margarita did try to use other agency's pumper trucks, emergency response,
personnel, etc. There were not enough assets in the area. At peak flow it was impossible for all
the trucks to vacuum the spill - it was flowing so heavily and they had to keep pumping it into the
creek to contain the spill. During low flow they were able to vacuum it out and drive it down to the
other side of the force main and pump it into downstream manholes. Communication was also a
problem in terms of when will the break be fixed, what is the spill volume, who do we contact,
where do other agency's responders get gas, food and water. Mr. Hamers is not sure of the
actual spill volume but has heard 900 thousand gallons. CMSD has an 18 inch force main that
carries 3,850 gallons per minute so with a 24 inch force main it was probably between four and
five thousand gallons per minute. It took days to find the problem and days to fix because it was
on a slope and that kind of pipe had to be specially coated. Mr. Guzman reported on two
significant CMSD spills in prior years and noted technology is not perfected to determine the
condition of a force main pipe.
0 ASSET MANAGEMENT
A seminar handout was provided in the Committee packet. Mr. Carroll and Mr. Fauth signed up
to attend the April 21s' and 22nd seminar. To piggyback on this workshop, Staff invited Brown &
Caldwell to give a demonstration of their approach to asset management. Mr. Carroll noted
Brown & Caldwell is a main player in asset management. Brown & Caldwell prepared the asset
management plan study for the Orange County Water District, Irvine Ranch Water District, and
Santa Margarita Water District. Staff will recommend an approach to the Committee. Director
Ooten recommended Staff also talk to GHD.
EAST BAY MUNICIPAL UTILITY DISTRICT ( EBMUD) PRIVATE LATERAL
PROGRAM
Mr. Fauth reported the EBMUD sewer lateral assistance program is going into effect. Mr. Hamers
added they are under an EPA order due to poor sewer system management. The EPA order
included private laterals. EBMUD's annual budget for the new program is $2 million per year.
CMSD INFLOW REDUCTION PROGRAM
The Inflow Reduction Subcommittee met on March 26, 2010 and the handout packet included a
set of the meeting minutes. Director Ooten reported the Committee discussed sealing and
plugging of manholes and an analysis of the data available to date. The District's efforts appear
to have had an effect on OCSD's storm peak flow numbers - down significantly. Mr. Hamers is
continuing to gather more data regarding rainfall and rainfall patterns. All Subcommittee
members were assigned tasks and will meet one more time this season to set up the plan of

attack for the next rainy season. Mr. Hamers reported the WDR Inflow and Infiltration Surveys
have been returned and data from those survey results will be available.
CMSD MAP UPGRADES /GIS /CMMS UPDATES
Mr. Fauth informed the Committee the last portion of phase one will be complete once EEC
receives the last few maps back from CMSD Staff. Staff authorized EEC to proceed to phase
two. Mr. Fauth pointed out sections of the District with lines remaining to be cleaned to meet the
three -year industry cleaning standard. Staff finalized the maps yesterday and meets with
National Plant Services at 2:00 pm today to review. Mr. Fauth estimates it will take two months to
complete the next 400 thousand linear feet using a three -man crew and two Vactor trucks.
SCADA UPGRADE STATUS
Mr. Fauth stated the project is for the most part complete. Staff worked with the City of Newport
Beach personnel and arranged to have the trees around the 23`d Street pump station cleared to
allow for the new antenna to be installed. The only station left to complete is the District Yard.
Mr. Fauth has requested a copy of the relay plan from TRC.
CMSD SEWER CLEANING /CCTV PROGRAM - UPDATE
This item was discussed under CMSD Map Upgrades.
WDR TRAINING SEMINAR 6 -17 -10 "TREE ROOTS IN SEWERS"
Mr. Hamers reported the May seminar was delayed until June due to a conflict with another
conference. The "Tree Roots In Sewer" seminar is now scheduled for June 17, 2010 from 9:30
till 11:30.
CMSD PROJECTS:
PROJECT #129 — BRISTOL STREET SEWER PROJECT
Staff is currently meeting with contractors to determine the feasibility of pipe bursting the
remaining one third of the sewer.
PROJECT #171 — IRVINE PUMPING STATION FORCE MAIN
Staff is meeting with lining and slip lining contractors to determine the best method to rehabilitate
the line. The condition assessment is contained in a Staff report to the Board and will be in the
next Board packet. Mr. Hamers recommended the Committee discuss the project more in depth
after the Board has reviewed the report.

PROJECT #186 — SEWER LATERAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAM
Mr. Fauth reported $104,000 has been spent this fiscal year. Seventy eight projects have been
completed, thirty eight are in process and one is waiting for review as of last week. The trend is
cyclical and the reason is undetermined. Director Ooten requested Staff provide a multi -year
report showing applications and completed projects.
PROJECT #187— DISTRICT YARD
Mr. Hamers reported the District Yard project is progressing on schedule. Mr. Fauth reported the
flag pole base installation is in process. A gas sleeve needs to be put in place. Staff chose to go
with Mike Kilbride rather than the Gas company for a savings of $30,000. The contract for
security services will be in the form of the CMSD standard contract and is currently under review
with the company interface. Mr. Fauth reported bids were requested from four organizations and
three were unresponsive. Mr. Hamers reported the City of Costa Mesa received stimulus funds
plans to make street improvements on both the south and north side of Wilson Street. Staff
eliminated from the contractor scope removing the old drive approach, building the new drive
approach, new sidewalk and landscaping. Staff is working with the contractor to determine the
savings to the District. The improvements are expected to be completed within the next two
months. Mr. Carroll recommended waiting to hold the grand opening until the improvements are
complete. Mr. Dulake reported the office furniture will not be delivered until June 1, 2010. Mr.
• Fauth added the rebate for the solar panels is in process.
CCTV VEHICLE DEMO
The Committee attended a CCTV truck demonstration in the District Headquarters' parking lot.
Mr. Carroll reported there will be discussion during the May 20, 2010 preliminary budget meeting
regarding the purchase of a CCTV truck and other CCTV options. Director Ferryman asked if the
District would need to hire an operator if the CCTV truck is purchased. Mr. Hamers responded
most agencies use their own staff to operate the truck. Director Monahan requested Staff
prepare an analysis of purchasing a CCTV truck or trailer or contracting for the service. Staff
recommends a 10 -to -15 year interval for CCTV of the entire District sewer main lines. The CCTV
truck, if purchased, would be for CCTV of small portions of the lines rather than entire line
system. Director Monahan recommended bringing the analysis back to the Committee and after
review, determine if a special meeting is needed to discuss the item. Mr. Hamers added when
you go to the full CMMS sewer system management system Staff can take the data provided by
the CCTV equipment and assign what was televised directly to the line segments creating a
historical system management document.
OTHER
Staff reviewed a survey regarding illegal dumping of grease. District Staff did respond to the
survey. The District has so little to report CMSD responses were not in the report.

Grant Program
Mr. Fauth reported the OC Waste and Recycling Committee Meeting was attended by
Jocelyn Schamber.
Mr. Fauth is in the process of coordinating a composting class for Costa Mesa residents
led by Ms. Francine Kaplan, PhD. This will provide an opportunity to observe Ms. Kaplan
and assess her skill level prior to scheduling the mass presentations with school
representatives as stipulated in the 2008 -09 Grant.
Mr. Fauth advised the Committee that the new 2008 -09 Grant does not include Earth
Machines for distribution to CMSD residents, only schools. Mr. Fauth stated that the
Board of Directors must decide if they wish to continue with the residential program and; if
so, plan for this additional expenditure in the budget.
Director Ooten and President Schafer stated they believe in the benefits of composting
and would like to see this program continue.

because a typical restaurant disposes of more than 50 tons of waste per year. Mr. Fauth
reported this large pilot program is being conducted in South County by CR &R and OC
Waste and Recycling on a $400K grant.

neighborhoods from the CMSD Ordinance Enforcement Officer, Isidro Gallardo.
Ms. Revak indicated there are three fieldtrips scheduled to tour the materials recovery
facility at CR &R and the Frank R. Bowerman Landfill for Estancia High School, California
Elementary and College Park Elementary.
Mr. Carroll discussed an upcoming meeting with Mr. Jim Fitzpatrick, City of Costa Mesa
Planning Commission, regarding an application to open a recycling center on Placentia
and 18t`' Street. The City of Costa Mesa intends to deny this application due to zoning
issues and a negative response from the residents; however, Mr. Fitzpatrick wants to learn
more about recycling programs in general. Mr. Mike Carey, Orange Coast Recycling
Center will be in attendance as well.
Director Ooten questioned why Stericycle is not included on the Recycling Committee
agenda. Mr. Carroll stated it was an oversight on his part and Stericycle will be discussed
at the Board of Directors meeting.

comments on Item XV.D.1. of the agenda. President Schafer stated after the March 25,
2010 Board of Directors meeting where Mr. Freschi and Mr. Dewane spoke, she realized
the Board of Directors should have offered time for Mr. John Withers and Mr. Charley
Wilson to address the Board. District Counsel Alan Burns stated there was a question as
to whether an item could be reconsidered and as the item is properly noted on the
agenda, and in compliance with the Brown Act, the Board can legally reconsider the item.
Mr. Withers of the Irvine Ranch Water District and the ISDOC representative to LAFCO
expressed his appreciation to the CMSD Board of Directors to allow him to speak and
stated he has served on LAFCO for 16 years since Special Districts were seated and
continues to serve as he is passionate about Special District form of government and
believes we are the ones closest to the people and are very focused on the role he plays
in serving special districts. Mr. Withers stated he is an elected official on the Irvine Ranch
Water District and has served for twenty one years. More recently became a member of
the Board of the Orange County Sanitation District and very proud of the assignment he
has there. After only six months he is serving on the Steering Committee and Vice
Chairman on the Administrative and Finance Committee and he thinks it is in recognition
of his experience and the fact he is enthusiastic about whatever he undertakes. Mr.
Withers also serves on the National Water Research Institute Board and does not have
ambitions for higher office. "I really like what I do and I am proud that I have been

endorsed by a number of LAFCO colleagues. Supervisor Bill Campbell said to me, `I
don't agree with you on all the issues, but I am endorsing you and Charley because
think you have done a great job.' Peter Hertzog, President of LAFCO and Susan Wilson
both endorse me and to be represented by colleagues is meaningful to me and I take a
special pride in that. We have letters from Congressmen, Gary Miller, Ken Calvert, and
State Senator Tom Harmon and I think anyone can do that but I don't know that they
know that much about LAFCO. It's the 27 special districts that are very aware of LAFCO
that we care most about. I am proud of the fact that some of the smallest support our
candidacy and I am real proud of the fact that the Capistrano Bay Community Services
District, Three Arch Bay Community Services District, Emerald Bay, Sunset Beach
Sanitary District, Surfside Storm Water Protection, Surfside CSD, Rossmoor /Los Alamitos
Sanitary District are all endorsing our candidacy. The key thing about LAFCO is you have
to count to four. You need four votes to get something done or you need four votes to
prevent something from getting done. Because I've been there so long and am really a
resource, people will say, John, what do you think? We have been very effective in
reaching out. The key is making the bridge to the county members, the public member
and putting the.coalition together. I tell people I am the middle of five kids and that's true
and had to work with my brothers and sisters and kind of a compromiser and that serves
me well on LAFCO. I am very proud of some of the work we have done. Another issue at
LAFCO is the municipal service review process and it is required by state law that every
® five years must do one and I am real proud of the fact we have turned it around 180
degrees. It used to be we would worry about what LAFCO will come up with and slam
something on us. That has changed completely. LAFCO is now more of a resource and
the emphasis is on local people to develop things they want to do and bring it up to
LAFCO. I am real proud of the progress we have made to that extent. Also in running
our LAFCO staff in the last two years we have reduced our budget by 15% the last two
years and this year's proposed budget has no increase. We run it like a business and are
mindful of the resources we all pay and it is based on gross revenue of the budget, size of
the district on a sliding scale and we are real proud of that.
On the MWDOC issue, I have been reelected to LAFCO four times, it has never been an
issue. No one has ever said I have not been responsive. This year we did have a big
issue with this whole north /south county, to split up MWDOC. I have never felt that was a
good idea. I don't think the benefits outweigh the costs and all the distractions and quite
frankly delude our effectiveness as a county. I am very happy to report about ten days
ago — I give MWDOC credit — they reached out to the south county people and made
some additional concessions, presented a package to south county and all the south
county agencies have all ratified the framework for settling this. I understand there were
a couple of issues raised for clarification. I understand the general manager talking. My
own district has ratified the framework for settlement by a unanimous vote. We wanted to
lead by example. This thing has been going on for about three years and everybody
knows we've spent way too much money and time on this thing. I took the view that
because I am on LAFCO I really should stay out of the negotiations, I didn't want to be
biased. In looking back on that, maybe I should have gotten involved earlier - maybe it
could have been solved earlier. I am proud of the fact this thing is 90% of the way there.

It is imminently resolvable and I know from my own district and others we are committed
to making it work and being problem solvers. I brought a copy of the south county letter if
you would like to see it.
I think this is why there is a campaign. You probably have received lots of calls, from
congressmen and others. My hope is that we can get this thing settled and get on to the
work before us. I would just say in closing, of all the Boards I serve on, I think I like
LAFCO the best just because of the challenges it presents — people from all walks of life —
big districts, small districts - trying to do the best for their community, people down in
Coto, south county, people trying to figure how they are going to govern their cities. It
means a lot that I continue to work on this thing, I am very dedicated and passionate
about it, I try to be very honest, transparent and accessible to people. I will continue to be
that way. I believe Arlene Schafer and I have a great relationship on LAFCO — we have
worked very close on different issues. I have worked with Director Ferryman at OCSD
and I think we have a great relationship. I know there have been times where there have
been issues between IRWD and the San District and I know there were one where there
was some conflict and Director Ferryman called and said to me, `this is nuts, let's get it
solved' and I said `you are right' and we brought people together and that's the kind of
guy I am and what you see is what you get. I have been called all kinds of things in this
campaign and it's really too bad, but I believe let's take the high road. I believe in being
positive and talking about my experience and the accomplishments of LAFCO. We have
great staff. I respectfully ask for your support, it would mean a lot to me. I'll try to
continue the good work I have done and I very much appreciate your time and attention.
If there are any questions, I would be happy to answer and questions you might have.
You may or may not know there was a piece of legislation called the " Gotch" bill by
Assemblyman Mike Gotch back in 1992 that reformed LAFCOs and gave LAFCOs new
powers to consolidate like -kind agencies and special districts. The trade -off was that if
LAFCO was going to have these powers, special districts should have a seat at the table.
originally ran as the alternate on LAFCO and have been there ever since, reelected four
times and never been challenged. This year because of other issues it has gotten very
political. I am not a vindictive guy, win, lose or draw I will continue to do good work."
Director Monahan asked if Mr. Withers was involved in the Santa Ana Heights and Irvine
Ranch Water District dispute of a few years ago, was it a LAFCO issue. Mr. Withers
replied, "Santa Ana Heights was a private, mutual water company and for whatever
reason they decided to go out of business and went to auction of their private shares and
actually, I think all of us, Irvine Ranch, Mesa Consolidated and the public...... the big
competition at the time were the private water companies were all bidding like sharks in
the water, and we decided at IRWD that it got down to a matter of economics and what
people were willing to pay. In the end our district paid about $1100 per share and you
owned a share by virtue of owning a fee piece of property. In the end it was a bid and
again, you can look back on history and what did and didn't happen, people were
accused of different things. I do know that Susan Trager, who is here tonight, was
actually the attorney for the Santa Ana Heights Mutual Water Company. On the
transparency issue, my District has been involved in several consolidations and I have
always felt it was not fair for me to participate in those issues. On every consolidations

our District has been involved I have recused myself on every vote because I did not think
it was the right thing to do. It is something that goes back ten years and you can check
the record and I've been very consistent on it. Thank you very much."
President Schafer asked if Mr. Wilson would like to speak.
Mr. Wilson stated "I have had the privilege of serving as the special district alternate for
the past eight years. I came into LAFCO in 2002. My home base is an elected board
member of the Santa Margarita Water District that has its own history in a private
takeover attempt, which is what brought me into the water business when a hostile
takeover was attempted. I have also 15 years of working experience in Costa Mesa back
when John Seymour when he represented the area. The work I did in my current
capacity working for the electric utility with Southern California Edison where I served as
your liaison for a number of years. For a long time I hosted your local public access
television show and many of you were guests on the show. I actually know Costa Mesa
more than a lot of city communities I've lived'in over the years. I appreciate being able to
come here and talk to you and present my qualifications. As I see it the LAFCO issue
without covering the stuff John covered, is about background and my background is well
established and I am in the utility business and understand the utility business. As with
John, I am not interested to run for higher office and am not interested in using this as a
platform to run for higher office. This is not a place where you make a lot of friends but
that is part of the challenge. Because I am an expert in utility kinds of things it is a place
where I find where I can best contribute to local government in Orange County. It is about
expertise — the Cortese -Knox- Hertzberg Act is not a simple Act. It is not something that
you want on the job training. It takes a long time to understand it and how it works and
how it applies to special districts. I have that expertise after eight years of service. It is
about experience. You get that experience by actually sitting at the dias and although I
serve as your alternate member, one of the great things about serving as an alternate in
Orange County is unlike other boards where they don't even allow you to sit at the dias
and kind of put you off in another room. Alternates in this case have all rights and
activities up until the vote and I vote only if John or Arlene are not in attendance. I have
the knowledge and ability to still have an impact because of the way they allow active
participation and I have used that, according to Joyce, I have the best attendance of all
the commissioners, both seated and alternates and I take this very seriously in my
obligation to represent special districts. It's about relationships; you have to be able to
work with city members, county members, public members, you've got to be able to have
your views heard and understand so that an informed choice can be made. That is what
LAFCO is about. Anyone who wants to come into LAFCO with a pre- determined outcome
is very badly mistaken. On one day you will have agreements, on another you will have
disagreements. As John Campbell said, `you guys deserve to be there the way you
conduct yourselves is appropriate and I support you being there and continuing your
service'. Peter Hertzberg said basically the same thing. I went through a very difficult
period with an MSR with the El Toro Water District. Peter thought Lake Forest ought to
have El Toro as they were neat .lines on the map. Peter now understands that neat lines
on a map have nothing to do with hydraulics and how water districts operate. He now
COSTA MESA, SANITARY DISTRICT PAGE 8
MINUTES OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS REGULAR MEETING
HELD APRIL 22, 2010
understands as we have a relationship in which he was willing and able to- listen and we
were effective in that. Relationships become very, very important as you go forward and
your effectiveness. We have been very effective as your team, literally with the three
members in this room as your special district representation. El Toro exists today
because of our effectiveness, Emerald Bay exists today because of our effectiveness
when Laguna Beach wanted to take them over. Sunset Beach exists today because of
our effectiveness when the city of Huntington Beach wanted to take them over. Many
special districts exist today because of how we have conducted ourselves in
understanding the needs of special districts. So, thank you for allowing us to speak. We
would love for you to reconsider the position you currently have now that you have had an
opportunity to hear from us and understand what is really at stake in this. You are looking
for open, effective, honest, transparent, fiscally prudent representative that is highly
effective. I believe we are the clear choice and we thank you and ask for your support.
Thank you."
President Schafer asked if there were any questions. Shawn Dewane stated he would
like to speak.
Mr. Dewane stated "I got involved in this as I have a personal philosophy that I am
generally opposed to the concept of centralized planning and the sense I got as Mesa
went through our MSR process that there was an effort at the state level to urge away all
of the independent special districts. I am in the capital markets business for a living and
we talk about a concept called `moral hazard' which means we who are involved in
investing peoples' money need to be keep in mind where the risk is and where the risk
transfer is and what it really comes down to when making an investment you have to be
dealing across the table with someone you know, and as Mr. Wilson correctly pointed out
this-is all about relationships. The relationship that I believe counts most is the
relationship between the people who. live in the communities and the governing bodies
that govern those communities. Independent Special Districts that provide single service
provide the most accountability. I believe government skills best when it skills laterally
across the communities and not vertically, centralizing the planning in one centralized
decision- making body. John and Charley both correctly point out that LAFCO is a very
powerful body and they only count to four, and what troubles me.about that process is
that there are then four people who govern the lives of many people who have no say in
the vote as to whether or not those LAFCO commissioners are appointed. The people
who vote to elect us, the Special Districts, perhaps have an intermediate say all the way
up to LAFCO but the effect on the map on your wall is tremendous when you consider
four people have the say as to whether or not Mesa serves the water, whether or not the
Sanitary District stands on its own, whether or not the revenues we generate from the
sale of water go to subsidize the public safety budget that the City and all kinds of other
issues that then become impossible to separate from each other, impossible to make a
comparison; for the competitiveness of the water rate, the competitiveness of the salaries,
the job training, job opportunities, the abilities of governing bodies, the people who serve
in our positions to have the training and expertise to carryon in the future.

COSTA MESA SANITARY DISTRICT PAGE 9
MINUTES OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS REGULAR MEETING
HELD APRIL 22, 2010
Those opportunities begin to exist and all of a sudden we are left with a few centralized
decision - makers who then control the outcomes of all of the lives of us in the county and
in the cities we live in. It is the individual ability, the self- determination that the individual
liberties we have to be able to come into this Board room and into Mesa's Board room
and our Chairman across the desk is with us specifically about the water issues;
specifically with you about the Sanitary District issues. It doesn't work well when you
come in and try to parse apart your conversation — you are doing sanitation — you are
doing water issues, and who do I really talk to. There is nobody who is accountable and
that is where who do I really talk to. If we use history as any example, history is littered
with examples of failed bureaucracies that relied on centralized planning to make their
decisions about the resources on which we live.
That is the perspective. If elected to the LAFCO Commission, I would like to say one
additional thing as there have been rumors circulating and one rumor is that I am doing
this to further the ambition of Mesa to take over the Sanitary District and I would like the
record to accurately reflect that is not my motive and that is not my purpose or ambition of
Mesa to take over the Sanitary District. I would work with you to further strengthen the
independence of this District and not to merge it with Mesa or any other city. So, thank
you very much."
President Schafer asked if anyone else cared to address the Board. Susan Trager, a
Commissioner of the Laguna Beach County Water District stated she would like to
communicate to you if it is permissible, the support of the Laguna Beach County Water
District, which is the city council for the reelection and return of Charley Wilson and John
Withers to the LAFCO Board. I have been around the county for a very long time, since
the 70's, with water issues, sewer issues, a lot of LAFCO issues and land use issues. I
have a sense of what goes on here. I am here today because I am very troubled by some
of the comments I read that Brett Barbre communicated on the March 25, 2010 meeting
here. I think the astonishing extortion of what actually occurred in the Santa Ana Heights
decision to sell itself and go out of business. He described it inaccurately, was not there,
and neither of the candidates challenging Mr. Withers and Mr. Wilson were there. They
weren't even involved much in water or anything sanitary at the time. I was the lawyer for
Santa Ana Heights. It was assumed fora long time they would be taken over by Mesa
Consolidated. There was a dust off between the long -time engineer of the Heights and
Mesa and he went back to the Board and said we really need to do this a different way.
The Board decided it was going to hold an auction and instructed the lawyers, I was one
of them, to make a list of suitable invitees to the auction. At the time there was a lot of
push as has been represented by Mr. Withers. They made a list, sent out invitations, the
bids came in. It took a long time because the bids were very thoughtful and there was a
lot of appraisal. The Board members thought it would be best for the shareholders to
uphold their fiduciary obligations to the shareholders to get the highest price for the
shares as possible. IRWD came in with the highest bid and there was an immense
amount of litigation. Mesa was a sore loser — Mesa Consolidated Water District — this
community paid dearly for the legal representation and cost and probably 3, 4, 5
proceedings and a lot of litigation to try stop and put aside the sale and try to unravel it.

COSTA MESA SANITARY DISTRICT PAGE 10

HELD APRIL 22, 2010
A lot of hard feelings, the losing lawyers were still angry. My firm handled a lot of litigation
that was involved and ultimately prevailed. The Santa Ana Heights was taken over and
dissolved by the Irvine Ranch Water District and both the directors and the majority of the
shareholders were pretty happy with it. That is what happened. Not part of a main,
horrible scheme of the Irvine Ranch Water District to take over the world. That was not
an unwilling seller. They wanted to take it over, they couldn't raise the capital to modify
their - - the equipment for the redevelopment that was going on in their service area. So
they needed to do something radical so that everybody got service and that is what
happened. I was there I was a witness. Contrary to what was said at the meeting by Mr.
Barbre - that is not what happened and I wanted the opportunity to say that and I really
hope you have it in you to change your vote and to reelect people who are experienced
on LAFCO. You don't want on- the -job training and I hope you will do that. Thank you
very much."
President expressed her appreciation for the explanation by Ms. Trager.
Director Ferryman moved to rescind the former motion of the March 25, 2010 meeting
and consider voting again. Director Ooten seconded the motion. Motion carried 4 -1.
Director Ferryman moved for the District to support Charley Wilson and John Withers as
our representatives to LAFCO. President Schafer seconded the motion and asked for
discussion. Director Monahan stated he would not be supporting the motion and stated it
has nothing to do with the two gentlemen he is not supporting and thanked Mr. Wilson
and Mr. Withers for their many, many years of very good service. Director Monahan
stated at this point in time and with everything going on with LAFCO and the way things
are going he is really impressed with the fact we could have some local representation
with Mr. Freschi and Mr. Dewane. Director Monahan said he supports Mr. Freschi and
Mr. Dewane as they are local and the District would have a bigger voice at LAFCO and
much more personal attention. Motion.carried 4 -1.

MANAGER'S REPORTS
Mr. Carroll requested consideration of an Issue arose after the agenda was posted and
there is a need to take immediate action as this item is needed to meet the budget
schedule. Director Monahan moved to include this item regarding a fleet maintenance
agreement. Director Perry seconded the motion. Motion carried 5 -0. Director Monahan
addressed Legal Counsel Alan Burns on whether it would be a conflict of interest to vote
on this issue as Director Monahan serves on the City Council of Costa Mesa. Mr. Burns
stated there was not a conflict of interest as Mr. Monahan was elected to serve both
entities.

HELD APRIL 22, 2010
Mr. Carroll presented two options to the Board of Directors to lower the District's fleet
maintenance cost with a contract with the City of Costa Mesa (CCM) or the City of
Newpor ' Beach. The difference is the labor rate with Costa Mesa being $96.52 and
Newport Beach a rate of $75.00. The current contractor, Nextruck charges $110 an hour.
Mr. Hamers stated on many occasions the CMSD has attempted to work on projects with
the City of Costa Mesa, however, in the past the City has not presented a favorable rate
for the services required. The current contract with Nextruck states either party can
request a dissolution of the agreement given 10 days notice. Director Monahan
suggested meeting with City of Costa Mesa personnel and offering the agreement to the
City if they can meet the $75.00 an hour rate. The Board of Directors gave direction to
Mr. Carroll to contact the Assistant City Manager at the CCM in an attempt to lower the
rate to $75.00 an hour. If the CCM agrees, Mr. Carroll was given direction to negotiate an
agreement with the CCM. If the CCM does not match the Newport Beach labor rate, Mr.
Carroll is authorized to negotiate a contract with the City of Newport Beach.
Mr. Carroll requested the agenda item under Treasurer's Reports, the Plan Check,
Inspection, Permit and Annexation Charges be considered at this time as Director Perry
must leave the meeting at 6:30 p.m.
. Director Ferryman moved to adopt CMSD Ordinance No. 75, Revising the Plan Check,
Inspection, Permit & Annexation Fee Provisions of the District Operations Code. Director
Monahan seconded the motion. Motion carried 5 -0.
Mr. Davis presented an analysis of a comprehensive user fee study in order to calculate
the full cost of providing specific sewer - related services to the public. The study will serve
as the basis for setting updated or new user fees for plan check, inspection, permit and
annexation services. The District's user fees were last updated by Resolution 94 -556,
adopted in July 1994. Mr. Davis presented the scope, methodology and results of the
study and Mr. Carroll noted the study and report were provided to the Building Industry
Association (BIA) for their review and comment and, to date, the District has not received
any comments from the BIA nor is a representative here tonight.
Mr. Davis noted the results of the study noting all existing fees are recommended to be
adjusted to recover the full cost of providing the service. Additionally, the fee for
construction of new facilities is recommended to be set at $10.00 a linear foot and capped
at $20,000. This fee was determined after the results of an analysis that found the
average plan check and inspection cost for the last five tract developments in the District
was $1,360 per 100 linear foot.
Mr. Davis also reported Staff currently performs services for which there is no existing fee
and recommends user fees be established for small new developments, swimming pool
connection, minor on -site plumbing work, large new developments and cap lateral and
demolition. Mr. Davis noted using the average units performed, adoption of the
recommended fees will result in an increase in annual revenue to the Liquid Waste Fund
in the amount of $24,292.

MANAGER'S REPORTS (CONTINUED)
STERICYCLE
Mr. Carroll presented a summary of the program with Stericycle to pick up and dispose of
used hypodermic needles at local pharmacies. Several years ago, the District and
Stericycle were at odds over the agreement between both agencies to continue to provide
the services and District Staff refused to sign the Stericycle standard form of agreement.
Options were presented to the Board:
1. Continue status quo by paying Stericycle invoices. Instruct Steven's and White
Front Pharmacies that when the contracts expire do not sign any extensions,
amendments and /or new agreements with Stericycle. Direct staff to solicit bids
from other vendors who are qualified to perform a Sharps program.
2. Pay Stericycle the costs for terminating the contracts with Stevens and White
Front Pharmacies and direct staff to solicit bids from other vendors who are
qualified to perform a Sharps program.
3. Direct Staff to coordinate a cease and desist of services between Stericycle
and Stevens and White Front Pharmacies, discontinue paying Stericycle
invoices and solicit bids from other vendors who are qualified to perform a
Sharps Program. Stevens and White Front may decide to discontinue offering
their stores at a drop -off site in which case the District would have to find other
pharmacies who are willing to participate in the program. Stevens and White
Front will be responsible for paying any outstanding balances. Currently,
Stevens outstanding balance to Stericycle is $802.35 and White Front
outstanding balance is $951.86.
Director Monahan moved to select option 3, as proposed by District Staff. President
Schafer seconded the motion.
Director Ooten stated his belief that Staff committed to this program, was well aware of
the costs associated with the program, and funds have been budgeted. Director Ooten
expressed the opinion that the District has funds to pay Stericycle and believes Staff did
not follow -up on the program and it is remiss of Staff not knowing that these pharmacies
were signing the agreements with Stericycle. Director Ooten stated there is no risk
involved in person's getting pricked. Director Ooten noted the District has a commitment

to the community for this program; there have been discussions about expanding the
program, and he is not in favor of concluding payment to Stericycle. Mr. Carroll stated he
believes it is not good business practice to offer a service without an agreement and if the
Board is agreeable to continue and when the agreement with Stevens and White Front
expires, Staff can then negotiate their own contract. Director Ooten stated he is
concerned that Staff just became aware of the situation. Director Ferryman suggested
Staff go to the pharmacies and explain the program and that the District does not have
signed agreements with Stericycle.
Mr. Fauth stated Stericycle went behind the District's back with the pharmacies and
insured the Board CMSD Staff did not know about it.
Mr. Burns stated he did agree.the District should not continue to pay when the contract is
between two private parties as that may be a gift of public funds issue and secondly, as
Mr. Carroll reported we cannot encourage them to terminate their contract but we can say
"we are not going to pay any longer - you (Stericycle) signed the contract with the
pharmacies and didn't ask us about, and if you want to contact us later, we will be happy
to talk about it."
Mr. Carroll stated Staff is not in favor of terminating the Sharps program but basically
wants to tie up some loose ends.
Director Ooten made a motion for the District to continue to pay Stericycle until and
unless an alternative option is available. The substitute motion is that the CMSD continue
to serve the public by paying Stericycle until and unless an alternative is found. Madame
President stated the substitute motion died for lack of a second.

RECYCLING COMMITTEE - MONDAY, APRIL 19, 2010
Director Ooten reported on the Recycling Committee meeting held April 19, 2010.
President Schafer attended the meeting in place of Director Perry. One of the items
discussed was a change in contractor to assist in the composting program. Mr. Patrick
McNelly is no longer available to work with the CMSD. The services of Ms. Francine
Kaplan will be utilized. Ms. Kaplan has a good background and will assist Mr. Fauth in
developing the use of County funds. Discussion was held on the use of Styrofoam
containers.
Director Ooten reported discussion was held on the purchase of earth machines for
distribution to CMSD residents. Mr. Fauth advised the Committee the 2008 -2009 Grant
does not include earth machines for distribution to CMSD residents, only schools. The
Board of Directors must decide if they wish to continue with the residential program and, if
so, plan for this additional expenditure in the budget.
Ms. Revak reported on three field trips scheduled for tours of the materials recovery
facility at CR &R and the Frank R. Bowerman Landfill for students from Estancia High
School, California Elementary and College Park Elementary.

PROJECT #171 IRVINE PUMPING STATION FORCE MAIN REHABILITATION
Mr. Hamers presented a report on Project #171 Irvine Pumping Station Force Main
Rehabilitation summary of the District' Inflow Reduction Program. Staff determined the
Irvine Pumping Station force main is the number one CMSD force main candidate for
rehabilitation or replacement based on its history and operating conditions as further
described.

MINUTES OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS REGULAR MEETING
HELD APRIL 22, 2010
Mr. Hamers explained the 2005 Sewer Master Plan identified a force main replacement
program as an important element in eliminating sanitary sewer overflows (SSOs). Force
mains are the pressure sewer lines from the low -lying pumping stations to the outlet
manholes located at a higher grade. The CMSD has 20 pumping stations and therefore,
20 force mains.
Because force mains operate under pressure, breaks in force mains are similar to breaks
in water lines where water is gushing out at high volumes. Because flows in force mains
are so high, SSOs from breaks in force mains result in large spill volumes. For instance,
should a five minute spill occur from a break in the Irvine pumping station force main, the
spill would total 5 min x 1,500 gal /min = 7,500 gallons. This volume is far above a typical
gravity sewer spill volume. Therefore, agencies should conclude force main rehabilitation
is a priority.
Mr. Hamers stated further, force main condition assessment is at this point in time an
inexact science, meaning there is no current method to determine the structural integrity
of the entire line. What is needed is a new technology consisting of a no -dig method of
introducing a probe in the line from the outlet manhole all the way down the line while it
measures the pipe wall thickness.
Even though new technology is approaching this ability, it is believed the Irvine Pumping
Station force main is ready for rehabilitation or replacement. Mr. Hamers presented a
condition assessment of the existing force main, a limitations of condition assessment,
rehabilitation options considered and resources investigated. Mr. Hamers noted Staff is
currently arranging with lining manufacturers and pipeline contractors to assess the
rehabilitation /replacement methods, practicalities and costs, after which Engineer's
Estimates of the options will be prepared. ,
The Sewer System Committee will review this item at the May or June 2010 Committee
meeting.

Mr. Burns will continue to monitor the progress and report to the Board of
Directors.
Adoption of on Ordinance Enacting an Administrative Citation Imposing Civil
Fines for Violations of District Ordinances
Mr. Burns presented for the Board's consideration, a draft ordinance enacting,an
administrative citation system for the District's Operations Code. This ordinance
allows a code violation to be prosecuted civilly. Because violations would be civil,
the offender would not be subjected to criminal sanctions. Staff would still have
discretion to cite violations as criminal offenses when appropriate.
Mr.. Burns recommends the Board of Directors provide input on the subject and
direct Staff to bring back for approval consideration a final draft version of an
ordinance that will enact an administrative citation system.

ORAL COMMUNICATIONS AND DIRECTOR COMMENTS
Mr. Hamers reported the CMSD Maintenance Yard should be completed by the end of
May or early June 2010. The City of Costa Mesa received federal stimulus funds to re-
pave Wilson Street and that allows the CMSD to save money by not having to engage the
contractor to put in the drive approach and sidewalk. However, the City work won't be
completed until some time after the Yard is done. President Schafer stated an Open
House at the Yard is planned for fall 2010.
Director Ooten reported attending the WDR Steering Committee meeting and heard about
developing new means of measuring SSOs and everybody believes it should be changed.
There was an update on the Santa Margarita spill.
Director Monahan provided an update on the idea of one franchise trash hauler for the
City of Costa Mesa.
Director Monahan also reported hearing that Poseidon was approved in the City of
Huntington Beach and requested General Manager Scott Carroll to investigate and report
back to the Board.

Director Monahan also reported hearing OCTA did approve the study on the end of the 55
freeway, in other words where the 55 meets 19th Street. They are going to study four
different options on going down to about 15th Street. At this point in time, the public
favorite and the engineer's favorite, is what they call "cut and cover" so they tunnel
underneath downtown, and there would be a really nice downtown with through traffic
going straight through.
Director Monahan reported City Council did expand by one hour on the 4th of July until
9:00 p.m. instead of 8:00 p.m. the mandatory closing of the fireworks stands. The City
also omitted the ban on handhelds which are the new form of sparklers, not the metal
ones, they, are called "morning glories" and they are a wooden or bamboo material and
they are incredibly safe sparklers.
The big issue, Director Monahan reported, is the City's proposal to purchase the Orange
County Fairgrounds from the state. The City Council voted unanimously on the decision
during a closed- session meeting. City Manager Allan Roeder, Council members Katrina
Foley and Gary Monahan delivered a proposal for buying the Fairgrounds to Sacramento.

Subject: Emergency Pump Purchase — 23d St Pump Station
Summary
On May 6, 2010, the. General Manager determined an emergency existed at the 23`d
Street Pumping Station and authorized staff to proceed in the purchase of two new
pumps without giving notice for bids and having the Board award said contract, .as
governed by CMSD Operations Code, Chapter 4.05, Section 4.05.010(b) and pursuant
to California Public Contract Code, Section 22050.
In compliance to District and State Codes mentioned above, this report describes the
reasons justifying why the action taken on May 6 was necessary to respond as an
emergency., State law also requires emergency work be approved by a 4/5 vote of the
Board of Directors.
Staff Recommendation
The Board of Directors approves and ratifies the emergency work for replacing two
dilapidated pumps at the 23rd Street Pump Station.
Analvsis
The CMSD Maintenance Staff and Operations Manager reduced pump failures and
frequencies of failure as much as reasonably possible while increasing the
standardization of pump horsepower sizes and manufacturers and without the benefit
of a yawl to store an inventory of replacement pumps in the event a failure occurs. As
such, the CMSD Maintenance Supervisor identified. an immediate emergency
purchase requirement for two pumps.at the 23rd St Pump Station.

Board of Directors \,
May 27, 2009 \
Page 2 of 3 \
Staff evaluated the situation and identified the following guiding facts leading to the
decision on May 6:
1. Flygt, a world leading product brand for submersible pumps, is the standard
manufacturer of all . pumps operating at the 18 of 20 CMSD lift stations. ITT
Corporation took over Flygt in 1968.
2. ITT Water -& Wastewater USA Flygt Products (Poway, CA) (ITT) is the
distributor of Flygt pumps for the Southern California Region - there are no
other suppliers — this is a sole source purchase. New ITT Flygt pumps come
with a five -year unconditional warranty — a warranty ITT honors even if there is
an SCE overvoltage as has occurred in the past.
3. The life cycle for pumps is typically ten years. The pumps at the 23' Street
Pump Station are approximately 16 years old. After evaluating the pumps
during a routine maintenance, the Maintenance Supervisor believes the pumps
are at the end of their life cycle and could fail any day.
4. The close proximity to the Newport Back Bay, its only 64 feet from outflow
manhole covers and the downtime before SSO is only two hours could result in
an environmental catastrophe if this pump station fails.
5. According to CMSD Emergency Response Plan, by -pass operations would
have to be implemented if this pump station fails. Due to the time necessary to
assemble and set up a hose by -pass and associated traffic control, it will be
necessary to initially use pumper truck by -pass operations until the hose by-
pass is set up and ready to operate. By -pass operations would also require
personnel operating the by -pass 24 hours a day until the new pumps can be
installed.
6. The new pumps will take approximately seven days for delivery.
7. The repair estimate for the two existing, 1994 vintage, wom out pumps is
$8,597 each for a total of $17,194.00 if the armature electrical windings are
intact and do not need replacing. Flygt does not offer a warranty for rebuilt
pumps.
By the time you read this report, the new pumps will have been installed and in
operations. To ensure this does not happen again in the future for our entire pump
stations, staff will be storing replacement pumps at the District Yard. in the event a
pump(s) is at the end of its life cycle, staff will be able to respond quickly and efficiently
to replace the pump and ensure continual high performance of the station.

Memorandum
To: Board of Directors
Staff
From: Isidro Gallardo, Ordinance Enforcement Officer
Date: May 27, 2010
Subject: Ordinance Enforcement Officer Monthly Report, April 2010 -May 2010
DISCUSSION: Complaint calls continue coming in to District HO at a slow but constant rate.
Time is always spent addressing each call to reach compliance from residents. For example,
a resident living in the Hamilton St./Wallace St area called in to request that I pay extra
attention to Victoria St. (between 55 freeway and Placentia St) and surrounding streets.
In addition, a resident in the nearby Mesa Verde also requested extra attention be placed to
Baker St. (between Harbor St. and Mesa Verde St.) and surrounding streets (Royal Palm Dr.,
Jacaranda St., Andros St., Redwood St., Teakwood St., and all state streets). Operations
Manager Tom Fauth and I implemented a plan to address this residents' request. It was
concluded and advised that I spend extra time in the area to address the issue. Be advised
that residents more often than not, become compliant after a first or second notice.A
summary of the courtesy notice process for the District OEO is provided in the following chart
and demonstrates the effectiveness of a "1" Notice:

Of note, the District OEO and City CEOs increased surveillance on and near Bucknell Road,
Princeton Drive and the tributary streets and found several residents not in compliance. I will
continue to monitor the area in the upcoming weeks to gain compliance from offending
residents. I made personal site visits to Bucknell Road and Princeton Drive on 4 -15 -10 and 4-
16-10, one month after the City CEOs issued notices. The area east of Newport Blvd requires
a lot of attention following Wednesday collections.

Summary
Attached is the Investment Report for the month of April 2010. As required by the
District's Statement of Investment Policy, the Investment Report delineates all
investment activity during the month.
Staff Recommendation

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,
2010. The District's investments are in compliance with the Statement of Investment
Policy .adopted by the Board at the July 23, 2009 regular meeting, as well as the
California Government Code. The market values in this report were provided by our
third party custodian, Bank of New York, except for the Local Agency Investment Fund
(LAIF). The market value of LAW 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.

From: Scott Carroll, General Manage
Date: May 27, 2010
Subject: Strategic Plan
Summary
... an Independent Specid[ District
In 2008, the Board of Directors embarked on a program that will set District goals and
ways to measure progress toward achieving them. The program the Board embarked
on is a five -year Strategic Plan.
Staff Recommendation
That the Board of Directors approves adopting the Costa Mesa Sanitary District
Strategic Plan for Fiscal Years 2010 -15.
Analysis
Staff is pleased to submit the final draft version of the District's Strategic Plan for your
approval consideration. If approved tonight, it will serve as a framework for decision
making over the next five years.
Developing the Plan resulted in a systematic approach of gathering input from staff,
interviewing individual Board members and conducting workshops to brainstorm
strategic elements, objectives and performance measurements. A key component to
the Plan is that it focuses on results, not process.

Financial Review
Appropriate funding will be necessary to ensure outcomes, goals and objectives are
achieved for all seven strategic elements. Some of the goals will require routine
funding such as sewer line maintenance cleaning, and pump station maintenance
while other goals will require one time funding such as studying commercial collection
services.
All the goals and measures identified in the Plan will be appropriately budgeted and
submitted for your approval consideration in the annual budget development process.

Strategic Plan 2010
A. Introduction
A Strategic Plan is a top level planning document for an organization to set clear
direction over all operational aspects of its mission. It serves as a framework for decision
making over a 5 -year period. It is a disciplined effort to produce fundamental decisions
that shape what a District plans to accomplish by selecting a rational course of action.
This plan has incorporated an assessment of the present state of District operations,
gathering and analyzing information, setting goals, and making decisions for the future.
Time has been taken to gather input from various sources to add to the veracity of the
plans herein. The plan seeks to strengthen and build upon. opportunities while addressing
areas of concern.
This plan also identifies actions, activities, and planning efforts that are currently active
and needed for continued success in operations and management of the District, and
provides for periodic reviews and updates.
The strategic planning effort has focused on several or all of the following task areas:
• A clear commitment to infrastructure health.
• Community relations.
• Collaboration with partner agencies.
• The need to address the challenges of providing a balance of programs and facilities
that are needed with the very real constraints that exist now and in the future.
• Workplace health that is critical to meeting the District's service goals.
B. Definitions
1. Mission Statement: A declaration of an organization's purpose, why the organization
exists. Ideally, all activities of the District should be in support of the Mission
Statement.
BHI Management 4 4128110
Consulting
[l r c r'-
"'' Strategic Plan 2010
2. Vision Statement: A statement that articulates where the organization would like to be
over the term of the Plan. It should outline important aspects of the organization as
described within the planning term. The Vision should create strategy and tactics in
order to be met.
3. Strategic Elements: These are the broad, primary areas of District operations,
planning, and management within the Plan that need to be addressed and supported
by Strategic Goals to ensure optimum progress.
A. Objective: A concise statement associated with each strategic element that
describes the objective of that element. It explains why that element is
important to the District's overall strategy.
B. Strategy: A concise statement associated with each strategic element that
describes how the objective for that element will be achieved.
C. Performance Measurement: Describes specific measureable outcomes for
each strategic element to determine if objectives were achieved or not. The
District uses the Balance Approach method of desired outcomes by focusing on
three related areas:
• Service Delivery (what is our product ?)
• Citizen/Customer Satisfaction (how satisfied are our customers ?)
• Cost Efficiency (how much does it cost ?)
D. Benchmark: A concise statement describing a standard by which the strategic
objective can be measured.
BHI Management S 4128110

Strategic Plan 2010
4. Performance Measurements: Performance measures help translates an organization's
mission, vision and strategy into tangible objectives. It is an important interlinking
tool for improving results, engaging customers (externally & internally), sharing
information and building partnerships. Performance measurement is important to
interlink with strategic planning because:
A. If you have performance measurement without strategic planning, you know
how fast you are going, but you do not know whether you are going in the right
direction.
B. If you have strategic planning without performance measurement, you know
you are going in the right . direction, but you do not know whether you are
getting there.
C. The District's philosophy of performance measurement is to:
• Increase customer trust and confidence;
• Focus on meaningful outcomes;
• Demonstrate effectiveness;
• Challenge staff to be creative and innovative.
5. Strategic Goals: Strategic Actions are specific and measurable activities or targets that
address the strategic elements. Day -to -day actions and projects (not covered in detail
in the Strategic Plan) will be designed so that the Strategic Goals are accomplished.

C. Plan Development and Continuation Process
In 2008 the Board of Directors of the Costa Mesa Sanitary District (District) retained BHI
Management Consulting (Consultant) to facilitate and coordinate the initial Strategic Plan
development. BHI first gathered input from the employee base at CMSD, then
interviewed individual Board members to get their one -on -one perspectives. The
following items were discussed; mission statement, core values, District strengths,
weaknesses, opportunities and threats, current and future issues and important future
projects.
The Board supported this process as a way to allow all to participate in the foundation of
the Strategic Plan. A Board/Key Staff workshop was conducted to develop the following
plan elements: strategic elements, write objective and strategy statements for each
strategic element, write performance measurements and the desired outcomes to achieve,
and initial work on Strategic Goals.
A steering committee, consisting of the Key Staff, worked with BHI to complete the list
of Strategic Goals in support of the Vision and strategic elements and refine the Plan
prior to presentations to the full Board for initial review and final approval.
A key part of the Strategic Planning process is to conduct an annual review and update of
the plan. These reviews allow for maintenance of the plan so that it reflects the actual
progress and needs of the.District. The reviews will be documented, and followed up with
by either a plan supplement or an updated plan. A five -year planning horizon will be
maintained.

STRATEGIC GOALS
1.1
Implement a Calcium
Abatement Program -
The Costa Mesa Sanitary
District (CMSD), the El
Toro Water District
(ETWD), the Santa
Margarita Water District
(SMWD) and the
Leucadia Wastewater
District (LWD) have all
experienced one form or
another of calcium
buildup on the inside of
their vitrified clay pipe
(VCP) . sewers. The
b 'Id t d
ui up is ex ensive an
extremely hard to remove and prevents the regular cleaning and televising of the
lines. The LWD experienced nine miles of layered buildup while the ETWD
experienced stalagtites and the CMSD experienced layers and stalagtites.
The National Clay Pipe Institute (NCPI) stated these instances appeared to be the
first occurrences of this emerging problem. NCPI has been testing the calcium in
labs in the United States and France and is formulating a citric acid solution to
soften the calcium followed by removing by hydrojetting. Meanwhile, the CMSD
found an impact cutter, similar to tunneling equipment, which will remove the
calcium. Because the impact cutter might damage offset joints, the citric acid
procedure appears safer. The CMSD's Calcium Abatement Program will begin in
late 2010 when NCPI completes their study.
1.2 Inflow Reduction Program - The State Water Resources Control Board and the
Orange County Sanitation District (OCSD) require agencies to develop programs
that prevent Infiltration and Inflow (1 /1) from entering sewer systems. This
project is a continuation of the District's 1/1 Program, which began in 2009.
1/1 places a severe operational and financial strain on OCSD due to significant
amounts of 1/1 causing sewers to be oversized because of the unwanted water.
Normally, 1/1 is a low percentage of the daily dry wastewater flow, however, 1/1 in
OCSD's tributary area is sometimes as high as two to three times the dry
weather flow. Therefore, agencies are obligated to make a concentrated and
on -going effort to reduce 1 /I, including designating yearly Capital Improvement
Projects in this regard.

Strategic Plan 2010
Infiltration is underground water entering into sewer lines through cracks and /or
separated joints. After recently televising the District's system, the system was
found to be in good condition with no measureable infiltration.
Inflow is surface water entering from manholes or from illegal connections and
the District had significant inflow due to flat streets and the need for additional
storm drain improvements. The District's Inflow. Reduction Program is an
attempt to reduce the amount of surface water entering the sewer system. Staff
believes plugging and sealing manholes is the best course of action to prevent
inflow although not all manholes will be plugged and sealed in order to allow the
sewer system to function properly. To date, staff has plugged and sealed
approximately 1,500 manholes out of approximately 4,646 manholes District
wide.
As stated, according to the District -wide CCTV results, the 1/1 making its way into
the CMSD sewer system is from Inflow, not Infiltration. As evidenced in the
OCSD Percent Rain Ingress Map and as explained at Sewer System Committee
meetings, there are three orange /red /brown areas that have rainfall above the
OCSD goal of 2.0% rainfall ingress (light blue color) into the sewer system. This is
quite a large percentage of the CMSD service area and the reason OCSD has
CMSD near the top of the list for member agencies with 1 /I.
District staff divided the entire District into thirds and the Maintenance
Supervisor and two construction inspectors were each assigned one - third. Each
of the three is responsible for plugging and sealing manholes located in vee
gutters in alleys, manholes within 5' -10' of curb and gutter, manholes in streets
known to flood during rain events, manholes on private property subject to
inflow so long as permission from the property owner is obtained, and any other
manholes subject to inflow. Additionally, the three attempt to locate illegal
connections of backyard or parking lot storm water into the sewer followed by
working with the property owners to terminate the connections.
In order to quantify results of the Inflow Reduction Program, the District
Engineer prepares charts comparing pumping station run times during rain
events with run times during dry weather to calculate the total Inflow into the
system.
Another proactive step is the arrangement with National Plant Services (NPS) to
completely seal the vent holes, pick hole, and the open space between the ring
and cover at no cost to the District if done during the regular maintenance
cleaning operation.
BHI Management 13 4128110
Consulting
- Strategic Plan 2010
CMSD staff is coordinating its effort with the Orange County Sanitation District
and is continuing its public education of the importance of preventing storm
water from entering the sanitary sewer.
1.3 Hot Spot Abatement Program - "Enhanced Maintenance Areas" (or "Hot Spots ")
are sewer line segments that require frequent cleaning due to sags in the line,
heavy grease, offset joints, or other line problems. The frequent cleaning causes
the District to expend time and resources, as the Maintenance Supervisor and
cleaning crew must regularly clean these sections to avoid sanitary sewer
overflows (SSO's).
Through the District's sewer system sub - committee, District staff and consultant
Environmental Engineering & Contracting (EEC) analyze the hot spots in order
from worst to best to determine the necessary line repairs or FOG program
assistance to eliminate the hot spots. This program has proven to be successful
by structurally repairing many line segments and increasing the cleaning
frequency. This program will continue until enhanced maintenance areas are
eliminated.
1.4 System Wide Sewer Replacement and Repair Program —
Replacement
This portion of the program provides a yearly contribution to the long -term
replacement fund for the sewer system. The Board of Directors approves the
yearly contribution that will contribute to replacing the sewer system if and
when the sewer system reaches its life expectancy. A long -term replacement
fund is prudent and one of the necessary components of comprehensive sewer
system management.
The District has 216 miles of gravity sewer main that were constructed beginning
in 1953. Therefore, the system is 57 years old and industry standard belief
considers the life expectancy of vitrified clay pipe (VCP) to be 100 years. The
economics of a system wide replacement program are as follows: Assigning a
per foot construction cost of $300 per foot, which includes manholes and other
related costs, times 216 miles of sewer equals approximately $350 million. This
is a significant sum and one that will not likely be reached by the District since
the total yearly budget for the entire District is just over $10 million.
Fortunately, VCP sewers have lasted over 200 years in certain locations in the
United States and the material itself is inert (resistant to chemical breakdown)
and resistant to abrasion. Therefore, it is possible to consider the life expectancy
long enough so that technology may advance to a point where new inexpensive
rehabilitation methods will be developed.
BHI Management 14 4128110
Consulting
4tt`-a Gtpfi�
Strategic Plan 2010
The most important component for extending the life expectancy of the sewer
system is to televise the pipe interior and repair problems before they magnify.
The District completed a District -wide televising project in 2009 and recently
analyzed and compiled the results into a repair program.
Staff will continue televising sewer mains and make recommendations to the
Board a timeline for sewer replacement.
Repairs
This portion of the project will fund repairs, rehabilitation and reconstruction of
various types of deficiencies encountered during the District -wide televising
project.
Rehabilitation is expected over the long term and the proposed funding for this
project is currently at $700,000 per year. It is anticipated the funding will
continue thereafter to handle the on -going rehabilitation necessary to insure the
system operates properly as it enters its second 50 years of existence.
Projects high on the priority list are those deficiencies that score 5 on the
National Association of Sewer Service Companies (NASSCO) Pipeline Assessment
and Certification Program (PACP) rating system used during the televising
project. A score of 5 indicates immediate attention is required and a score of 4
indicates repair will likely be necessary in the next few years.
The Board will approve a plan that will include a timeline and a budget for
repairing pipelines receiving a deficiency score of 5.
1.5 Sewer Line Maintenance Cleaning Program - Sewer mains are cleaned to
remove grit, debris, solids, grease and roots that build up over time. Because
flow velocities in sewers are low, buildup on pipe walls, and having solids settle
out, is continually occurring. Industry standard cleaning cycles vary from
cleaning the system once every year to once every three years.
The CMSD uses a hybrid approach and cleans small 8" VCP tract sewers with
small flows once every three years, while cleaning higher flowing sewers every
two years, and cleaning the highest flowing and problem sewers every year.
The CMSD uses a combination public - private arrangement where National Plant
Services, Inc. (NPS) performs maintenance cleaning while the CMSD employee
crew performs hot spot and other specialty cleaning. By cleaning all parts of the
gravity sewer system within three years, the CMSD is in conformance with
industry standards.
BHI Management 15 4128110
Consulting
Strategic Plan 2010
1.6 Evaluate force main conditions on a regular basis - Because force mains operate
under pressure, breaks in force mains are similar to breaks in water lines where
water is gushing out at high volumes. Because flows in force mains are so high,
SSOs from breaks in force mains result in large spill volumes. For instance,
should a five minute spill occur from a break in the Irvine pumping station force
main, the spill would total 5 min x 1,500 gal /min = 7,500 gallons. This volume is
far above a typical gravity sewer spill volume. Therefore, agencies should
conclude force main rehabilitation is a priority.
Unfortunately, force main condition assessment is at this point in time an inexact
science, meaning there is no current method to determine the structural
integrity of the entire line. Pipe wall thickness is the critical indicator of whether
a failure is likely to occur, however, existing pipe wall thickness can only be
currently measured by excavating and exposing the pipe followed by attaching a
sensor. Obviously, the entire pipe length cannot be exposed for this test. What
is needed is a new technology consisting of a no -dig method of introducing a
probe into the line from the outlet manhole all the way down the line while it
measures the pipe wall thickness.
It is prudent for the District to continue tracking the age and operating
conditions of the force mains and to replace or rehabilitate the lines as
necessary.
1.7 Pump Station Maintenance and Standardization Program - The District's 20
sewer pumping stations each contain two pumps, piping, valves, fittings,
electronic controls, liquid, level sensors, and other equipment that requires
regular maintenance. The key to avoiding station breakdown and Sanitary Sewer
Overflows (SSOs) is a regular maintenance schedule for each of the components.
With the assistance of the Operations Manager, the Maintenance Supervisor
maintains a detailed spreadsheet of all his activities at the pumping stations.
The Maintenance Supervisor has determined the proper maintenance and
replacement frequency and continues to keep the pumping stations running
properly. The Maintenance Supervisor is also assembling an inventory of
replacement parts and equipment to decrease down time.
To simplify operations, the District Engineer, Maintenance Supervisor and
Operations Manager have agreed to a standardized list of parts and equipment
in the stations. Uniformity of equipment simplifies operational knowledge,
replacement activities, and inventory.
1.8 Fats, Oils and Grease (FOG) Program - Fats, oils, and grease (FOG) is discharged
into the sewer system mainly from food service establishments (FSEs). The
grease cools, then adheres to the pipe walls and decreases the open area of the
BHI Management 16 4128110
Consulting
Strategic Plan 2010
sewer interior. Unless removed, the FOG will eventually completely block the
flow and cause a sanitary sewer overflow (SSO).
The State of California Waste Discharge Requirements (WDR) requires sewer
agencies to have FOG programs to eliminate SSOs. In response to this mandate,
the Costa Mesa Sanitary District uses consultant EEC and the Orange County
Health Care Agency ( OCHCA) to manage its FOG program along with CMSD plan
check and inspection staff.
EEC provides permitting, monitoring, and enforcement activities for the District's
FSEs. An OCHCA food inspector will also pay visits to FSE's on behalf of CMSD to
check whether a pre- determined list of best management practices (BMPs) is
being adhered to. Additionally, the District's FOG program includes the CMSD
Permit Processing Specialist and District Engineer insuring new, remodeled, and
existing (where appropriate) FSEs contain FOG reduction devices through the
plan check process.
1.9 Sewer Lateral Assistance Program - The State Water Resources Control Board
recognizes that private property sewer spills are not the responsibility of the
public sewer agency but the number of private property spills is significant and
needs to be addressed. Private property sewer spills are a major cause of ocean
water pollution and programs should be developed to reduce spills.
CMSD Board of Directors became concerned at the significant cost of sewer
lateral repair, particularly if the problem is located in the street. Because many
property owners are unable to service their sewer laterals due to the lack of a
cleanout, the Board approved an incentive program where the District would
financially assist the property owner.
The Costa Mesa Sanitary District Board adopted its Sewer Lateral Assistance
Program in the 2007 -2008 fiscal year including the program parameters of
reimbursing a residential property owner up to $1,800 for installing a cleanout,
cleaning the lateral, root cutting, hydro jetting, spot repair, or installing a liner.
The lateral is defined as the sewer from the building all the way to, and
including, the connection to a sewer main.
The first application was received on September 27, 2007, followed by very
active resident participation. The program was so well received; the Board
allocated an additional $50,000 for the first fiscal year, 2007 -2008, making the
total $150,000.
The yearly project budget of $200,000 includes $150,000 for reimbursements to
residential property owners for work performed on sewer laterals and $50,000

STRATEGIC GOALS
2.1
Explore Commercial
Collection Services —
Currently, commercial
refuse and recycling
collection services are
under control of the City
of Costa Mesa and
performed by an open
market where businesses
can contact several
private waste haulers to
find the lowest cost for
collection services. There are several benefits to having a franchise for refuse
collection services such as better local control of rates, and fewer vehicles on the
street which will improve public safety and reduce the wear and tear of streets
caused by heavy duty vehicles. With the concurrence of the City, the District will
hire a consultant to study commercial refuse and recycling collection services
within our boundaries. The study will look at the different number of private
haulers serving Costa Mesa, the different rates from each hauler, the potential
revenue the City of Costa Mesa and the District can receive from an exclusive
franchise hauler, the likelihood of receiving a low competitive rate through a
bidding process, and how much more waste can be diverted from the landfill.
2.2 Encourage the use of alternative fuel vehicles — The use of alternative fuel
vehicles such as Compressed Natural Gas (CNG), Liquid Natural Gas (LNG),
hybrid, propane, electric and fuel cells, etc., promotes the reduction of vehicle
emissions, reduces the dependency on foreign oil, and improves the air quality
that we breathe. Diesel garbage trucks are among the oldest, least fuel- efficient
and most polluting vehicles in the United States. Requiring the District's
franchise hauler to use alternative fuel trash collection vehicles will achieve our
objective of collecting, recycling and disposing in an environmentally friendly
way, will reduce the health risks to both the drivers and the public, and will help
reduce the country's dependence on foreign oil.

2.3 Comprehensive School Education Programs — California state law requires each
jurisdiction to divert a minimum of 50% of the waste stream from landfill
disposal into recycling and /or green waste and. to provide education and
outreach. The District promotes the three "R's" — Reduce, Reuse and Recycle.
The District is responsible for collection of solid waste from residential units only.
While the District is not responsible for collection of solid waste from
commercial facilities, the District continues to.promote recycling education and
recycling principles at schools to reinforce the concepts starting at the earliest
ages possible to begin the learned pattern of the three "R's ". The District will
continue promoting recycling concepts to school children through the waste free
lunch program, backyard composting and vermicomposting program, telephone
book recycling program, scheduling tours of material recovery facilities, and
general recycling presentations.
2.4 Encourage Zero Waste - Zero waste is a philosophy and a design principle for
the 21st Century; it is not simply about putting an end to landfilling. Zero
waste efforts, just like recycling efforts before, will change the face of solid
waste management in the future. Instead of managing wastes, the District will
encourage the management of resources and encourage eliminating waste
through public education programs.
2.5 Monitor advancements and technology in the solid waste industry — The
District will pursue advancing technologies and methods for processing solid
waste material at material recovery facilities to further increase the diversion
of solid waste material from landfills. The solid waste industry is opening new
opportunities for innovative technologies from converting gas to energy,
biodiesel and fuel cells to landfill cap design. Some of the new and innovative
technologies the District will monitor will include, but not be limited to:
landfill gas to energy, bioreactor technology, fuel cell, biodiesel, digesters,
thermal conversion process, and anaerobic digestion.

STRATEGIC GOALS
3.1 Explore partnerships
with other utilities —
The District is currently
involved in formal and
informal partnerships
with various utility
providers. Doing so has
enabled the District to
provide more efficient
service and to tap into
support needed during
emergencies. In addition,
such relationships help
provide a strong and united voice on issues affecting the local area. To
accomplish this requires reaching out to utility representatives, establishing
regular information exchanges, making District resources available and providing
support when necessary.
3.2 Strengthen our ties with Cities of Costa Mesa, Newport Beach and the County
of Orange - In order to properly support the cities and county the District serves,
it is imperative to maintain open channels of communication with neighboring
communities. Continued participation on the Liaison Committee between Mesa
Consolidated Water, the City of Costa Mesa, and CMSD is favorable. Casting the
net wider to include the City of Newport Beach will assist the District in obtaining
even more feedback from the local region. Establishing a contact person
responsible for identifying opportunities and maintaining positive working
relationships with the County of Orange and surrounding agencies is critical to
the success of the District's plan in the future.
3.3 Strengthen our ties with our state and federal legislators - The District is subject
to the dictates of new state and federal legislation and the requirements of
initiatives. The District can also secure funding through the legislative process. To
accomplish this goal, staff will monitor proposed bills and initiatives through the
California State Legislature website and other means and will provide
information to the Board of Directors such as the impacts propose legislation
may or may not have on the District. In turn, the Board of Directors can provide
written communications to state and federal legislators on certain bills the
District supports or opposes. In addition, the Board of Directors and /or staff will
seek assistance from our legislators on securing grant funds to the District.

4.4 District branding - Cost Mesa Sanitary District is a Special District that meets and
exceeds your expectations! The District builds an identity to solidify customer's
confidence when working with the District. The District devotes 100% effort to
assist customers. The District responds quickly to any sewer issues and
inspection requests. The District's permit process is low cost and simple.
Moreover, if a resident requests trash service, the District's trash collector will
respond quickly to haul away their trash. If there is any complaint, the District
listens and resolves the issue. Citizens can depend on and trust the District for
the services it provides. Staff will present to the Board ideas on how to
distinguish ourselves from other public agencies.
4.5 To ensure high level of customer service through effective management of
contracts - Contracting for public services can be a complex process that
requires multiple types of expertise and responsibilities from public
administrators. Typically, there are three phases to the contract process. They
are:
1. Feasibility Assessment. This process is when administrators determine
whether a particular service is appropriate or not for contracting, and
whether or not vendors exist to perform such services.
2. Implementation. This is the process that requires the development of
bid specifications, soliciting bids, selecting a vendor and awarding the
contract.
3. Evaluation. The final process is monitoring and evaluating the
performance of a vendor to determine if he /she has fulfilled the
responsibilities specified in the contract.
Many organizations perform the first two phases very well. However, the third
phase, evaluation, is where many organizations find themselves lacking the
capacity to adequately monitor and audit contractors. As a result, contractors
will cut corners in their performance so they can go to another job site to earn
more money. The bottom line is that contractors are in the business to make
money. The more contracts they can secure the more money they will earn so it
is essential for them to be efficient in their performances.

The problem for public organizations is that they are being overwhelmingly
challenged to do more with less. These agencies do not have the resources
and /or an effective program to continually inspect contractor performances'.
There always seems to be other projects that take on a higher priority than
contractor evaluations.
The District is no exception. That does not mean staff is failing to inspect the
work of our contractors. However, with more responsibilities being bestowed
upon us (e.g. implementing the Strategic Plan, performance measurements,
budget reports, public education, etc.), it will become increasingly difficult to
inspect all the work being performed by our contractors. A well thought out plan
should be developed and implemented that will have "teeth" to hold contractors
accountable. Staff will develop a rating system that will consistently evaluate
the performance of District contractors and hold them accountable for their
performance.
4.6 Submit award applications - The Costa Mesa Sanitary District dedication has
resulted in a high level of accountability and responsibility to the public, and a
high degree. of customer satisfaction. Over the years, the District has received
awards from California Special District Association, California Water Environment
Association, and the .Costa Mesa Chamber of Commerce for its excellent work.
The District will continue to submit award applications for available grants and

Costa Mesa. The District will establish its own EOC at District Headquarters and
train staff on EOC functions along with the state Standardized Emergency
Management System (SEMS) and the ,federal National Incident Management
Systems (NIMS). This will ensure the District is eligible for state and federal
assistance in the event of a catastrophic disaster.
6.3 Update personnel rules and administrative regulations - District rules and
regulations are required to facilitate effective and economical services to the
public and to provide an equitable system of personnel management. District
reorganization created the need and opportunity to review and update
administrative and personnel rules and regulations to ensure District goals are
obtainable.
6.4 Redesign employee performance evaluation forms - The purpose of the
performance appraisal process is to improve employee performance and to
provide appropriate rewards. Performance appraisals help employees improve
by providing feedback on how they are performing and can provide motivation
by recognizing well done jobs. Performance appraisals help the manager make
personnel decisions such as promotions, reassignments, and terminations.
They also help define training needs and integrate total human resources of the
firm. The current employee performance evaluation is long and cumbersome
and does not provide incentives for employees to perform at the highest level.
The District employee performance evaluation form will be redesigned to be
user friendly for managers, easy to understand for employees and will provide
incentives to encourage employees to perform at his /her highest level.
6.5 Complete comprehensive succession plan for the District — A succession plan
allows an organization to look into the future to mitigate issues with potential
staffing gaps, analyze pending issues with staffing, as well as single point
information failures. The District has never performed such an analysis. As baby
boomer employees reach or anticipate retirement, it is important that
organizations properly plan. The plan will analyze the known planned attrition
and the organization as it relates to potential upcoming staffing issues. Further,
it will propose methods to ensure appropriate organizational depth in critical
functional areas, determine if critical information is held by singular employees
and explore methods to share this information. The plan will assure proper
information spread to provide for adequate staffing in the future. The
succession plan will also evaluate means for allowing and promoting the growth
of internal staff for career progression. Training plans will be proposed to
BHI Management 34 4128110

promote career development progression in a planned way. An outside firm
may be engaged to assist with this effort.
6.6 Complete a comprehensive salary study — Employees expect objectivity and
equity in decisions about their pay, and good organizations do their best to meet
that expectation. A salary study can provide useful information to attract,
support and retain competent employees. In order for the District to retain a
high quality, motivated workforce it must be competitive with other agencies.
Staff will conduct a comprehensive salary study to determine useful
benchmarking information for comparing salaries and benefits.
6.7 Periodic Organization chart evaluation — The Board of Directors should know
the structure and size of the organization for.which they provide oversight. The
General Manager will periodically outline the organizational structure with the
Board to assure that the organization is structured for efficient operations and
proper organizational flow and function. The evaluation will be presented to the
Board of Directors for their review every two years or as changes or new
positions are proposed.
6.8 Promote high employee satisfaction — Employee satisfaction is key to providing
excellent customer service and retaining employees. District employees will
participate in an initial employee satisfaction survey. Survey results will be
reviewed and areas of improvement determined. Employee input and teamwork
will be promoted. Staff training and cross training will become a priority. The
latest programs for employee motivation and satisfaction will be reviewed and
implemented when possible. A follow up survey will be taken to determine the
progress achieved.

7.4 Develop a Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR) - Each year all State
and local governments prepare a financial report on assets, liabilities, revenues
and expenditures in a standardized format that must conform to the
Government Accounting Standards Board (GASB) accounting and financial
reporting standards. This financial report is called the Comprehensive Annual
Financial Report. Most people have heard of the budget, which is the document
that plans and authorizes the spending of money. The CAFR describes what
actually was spent and the status of assets and liabilities at the end of the fiscal
year. The District will contract for an annual audit by a qualified independent
certified public accountant. The District will strive for an unqualified auditors'
opinion. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) will be used in
preparing the annual financial statements. The District will prepare an annual
CAFR and will aspire to meet the requirements of the CSMFO's or GFOA's award
for Excellence in Financial Reporting program.
7.5 Evaluate an appropriate reserve program — An appropriate reserve balance is
needed in the event of catastrophic emergencies and /or to replace aging sewer
infrastructure. It is impossible to establish a reserve balance that will pay for the
entire replacement of the District's sewer system, which is estimated at nearly
$350 million, because it would require significant increases in the sewer fees.
Such significant sewer rate increases would likely be deemed unfavorable by the
public. Furthermore, not all sewer sections need to be replaced at one time.
With many of the District's sewer sections approaching 100 years old by 2050, it
is prudent that funding is put aside to ensure the sewer system is replaced at the
end of its life expectancy and not operate a system that is beyond its life
expectancy, or the District could experience significant failures. The Board will
establish a capital replacement reserve policy that will set a funding level for
replacing sewer mains that have reached the end of their useful economic lives.
The reserve level could be a percentage of the current value of the system or it
can be a set dollar amount.

Memorandum
To: Board of Directors
From: Scott Carroll, General Manage
Date: May 27, 2010
Subject: Fixture Fees
Summary
..... an Independent Speciafoistrict
Proposed for you tonight is an ordinance that changes the District's fixture fees to
identify those fees as capacity charges with legal implications relating thereto. Also
proposed are increases in those fixture fees which are .now to be set by resolution.
The District has long charged fees for plumbing fixtures in proposed developments. The
revenues generated from these fees are to be specifically used for reconstruction of
sewage facilities. These fees have not been increased since 1970. The District
Engineer has prepared a report justifying an increase in the fixture fees.
Staff Recommendation
Adopt CMSD Ordinance No. 76, establishing that fixture fees are capacity charges and
making related clarifying changes.
Approve CMSD Resolution No. 2010 -780 adopting new fixture fees.
Analysis
The District previously established fixture fees and used those fees for new sewer
facilities. Since those fees were originally adopted, the law has developed, and we
have been studying how these fees can be justified under current law. One such lawful
fee is a "capacity charge" which allows an agency to adopt such fees provided they are
justified by an engineering study. Thereafter the money collected for such purposes
must be accounted for and expended according to state rules that require the fees can

only be used on certain projects that will benefit the project. The District Engineer has is
prepared a report justifying the capital facilities for which the fixture fees will be used.
We have revised the Ordinance to comport with that law, and after adoption of the
Ordinance, all fees will be accounted for in compliance with that law.
The Ordinance establishes that fees are to be set by Resolution. The District also
studied whether the fees should be increased and is proposing that increased fees be
provided by Resolution.
Attached is a study prepared by the District Engineer that justifies increasing the fees
for plumbing fixtures in new developments. The last time these fees were updated was
in December 1969 (the fees went into effect in January 1970).
The fixture fees were adopted on September 3, 1969 (Ordinance 6) and again on
December 4, 1969 (Ordinance 7). The fee, $7.50 per plumbing fixture, was determined
based on the 1967 Uniform Plumbing Code. On March 9, 1989, the Board of Directors
repealed Ordinance 6 and 7 and revised Ordinance 6 to be adopted as Ordinance 20.
The fixture fee remained the same at $7.50 per plumbing fixture. However, all three
ordinances (6,'7 and 20) allowed the Board to adopt a resolution to increase the rate
the next succeeding January 1St by adding the sum of $0.25 per plumbing fixture unit.
Previous, nor the current Board, has ever adopted said resolutions. If the Board
adopted a resolution every year since 1970, the fixture rate today would be $17.25.
Revenues received from fixture fees must be used for a specific purpose such as
acquisition, construction and /or reconstruction of sewage facilities. Staff recently
completed televising 216 miles of District sewer mains to determine the reconstruction
necessary to insure the sewer system operates properly and reaches its life
expectancy.
Staff learned from the televising that approximately 1,867 reaches in the sewer main
require reconstruction. By using the Pipeline Assessment and Certification Program
(PACP) from the National Association of Sewer Service Companies (NASSCO), which
is the industry standard for assessing pipeline conditions, staff has determined that 273
sections received a Grade 5 score and 1,594 reaches received a Grade 4 score.
Attached is a map showing pipeline reaches receiving Grade 4 and 5 scores district
wide.
The general assignment of pipe condition grades under PACP is as follows:
Grade 5: Collapsed or collapse imminent
Grade 4: Collapse likely in foreseeable future
Grade 3: Collapse unlikely in near future 0
Board of Directors
May 27, 2010
Page 3 of 5
Grade 2: Minimal collapse risk
Grade 1: Acceptable structural condition
Tonight, before you are several options to consider. They are:
1. Remain status quo. Do not approve increasing the fixture fees.
2. Adopt a resolution retroacting the $0.25 increase from January 1, 1971 to
January 1, 2009, which will increase the fixture fee to $17.25 per unit.
3. Adopt a resolution applying the changes in the Construction Cost Index from
1971 to 2009, which will increase the fixture fee to $46.31 per unit.
4. Adopt a resolution applying the average changes in the Construction Cost Index
from 1971 to 2009. The average change is 4.82 %. By applying this percentage
in every year from 1971 to 2009, the new fixture fee will be $47.14 per unit.
5. Adopt a resolution applying a conservative 1 % increase every year from 1971 to
2009. The new fixture fee will be $11.08 per unit.
. Staff does not recommend Options 3 and 4. Options 3 and 4 represent a 525%
increase and would be responded unfavorably by the public and developers. Option 2
appears to be reasonable, but it still represents a 130% increase from the current fee.
Staff is recommending Option 5, which is a 48% increase, but considering it has been
nearly 40 years since the last fee adjustment staff believes there will be few, if any,
objections from the public or developers.
By approving Option 5, the average fixture fees for a new residence will increase from
$245 to approximately $360 per single family dwelling unit. When compared to other
agencies, the new fee is still viewed to be favorable. Please see below:

Financial Review
Fixture fee revenue averaged approximately $48,000 over the last ten years with a high
of $77,358 in FY 2003 -04. Based on four of the five options mentioned above, the
following is an annual revenue estimation.
Option 2: Increasing the $48,000 average by 130% will generate $62,400 in
additional revenues bringing the total annual revenues estimate to
$110,400.
Options 3 & 4: Increasing the $48,000 average by 525% will generate $252,000 in
additional revenues bringing the total annual revenue estimate to
$300,000.
Option 5: Increasing the $48,000 average by 48% will generate $23,040 in
additional revenues bringing the total annual revenue estimate to
$71,040. •

ORDINANCE NO. 76
AN ORDINANCE OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF THE
COSTA MESA SANITARY DISTRICT REVISING THE CHARGES
COLLECTED BY THE DISTRICT AND ESTABLISHING THAT
FIXTURE FEES ARE CAPACITY CHARGES AND MAKING
RELATED CLARIFYING CHANGES
WHEREAS, the District has long charged for fixture fees, those being set dollar
amounts charged per plumbing fixture in a proposed development; and
WHEREAS, said monies were deposited in a Facilities Revolving Fund and were
only used for the purposes set forth therein which specified that such money be used for
the acquisition, construction and reconstruction of sewerage facilities; and
WHEREAS, the law governing what a public agency may charge for capacity
charges has developed and changed since the Facilities Revolving Fund was
established'as a depository for Fixture Fee money; and
WHEREAS, the Board of Directors does hereby desire to revise the way money
is charged, collected and accounted for to recognize the capacity charge law
(Government Code Section 66013 et seq.); and
WHEREAS, the Board does hereby desire to make other conforming changes to
the District's ordinances to comply with laws and updated procedures;
NOW, THEREFORE, the Board of Directors of the Costa Mesa Sanitary District
does hereby ORDAIN as follows:
Section 1. That Chapter 7.05 of the Costa Mesa Sanitary District Operations Code is
hereby amended to read as follows:
"Chapter 7.05
Development and Miscellaneous Fees, Permits and Charges
Section 7.05.010. Introduction. The Sanitary District collects various fees,
permits and charges related to development approvals and other miscellaneous
services the District provides. This Chapter shall describe those fees, permits and
charges and clarify why the same are paid and the limitations that may exist with
respect to how such fees and charges are collected, expended and accounted.
Section 7.05.020. User Fees. These charges are meant to reasonably
approximate the cost to the District to provide a service to a person or company. These
would include, but not be limited to, charges for reviewing plans or inspecting a sewer,
or making copies of District documents. These charges may be pass- through costs of
District's engineer, inspector or surveyor. Annexation fees would also be such a user
fee. This may also include the cost of making copies, as limited by the California Public 10
Records Act. These charges are always to be based on estimated costs to the District,
including, where appropriate, reasonable amounts of overhead. In appropriate cases
an estimate shall be made, and the person /company for whom the service is to be
provided shall be required to make a deposit of the estimated costs. The person
providing the service shall bill against the deposit, and a detailed accounting shall be
made. Additional sums may need to be paid or a refund may be appropriate. In other
cases where the tasks are reasonably routine, a per - service charge shall be the sole
amount collected but shall be based on time and motion estimates of the average
charge for the service. These fees are generally set forth in Chapter 7.02 of this Code.
Section 7.05030. Connection Fees. Generally, connection fees would be
charged in lieu of the developer or owner installing a sewer facility. Pursuant to
statutory and case law, these fees are the direct cost of installing the sewer. The
District's connection permit fee, by contrast, is a fee to cover the cost of issuing the
permit.
Section 7.05.040. Fixture Fees. Fixture fees are capacity charges for public
facilities in existence at the time a charge is imposed or charges for new public facilities
to be acquired or constructed in the future that are of proportional benefit to the person
or property being charged, including supply or capacity contracts for rights or
entitlements, real property interests, and entitlements and other rights of the local
agency involving capital expense relating to its use of existing or new public facilities.
The following applies to those fees:
(a) Purpose. Fixture fees shall be used for the purposes identified in the
engineer's report that establishes the facilities that are to be constructed or rehabilitated
to serve the development upon which the fees are imposed. Those facilities shall either
be directly related to the development or indirectly related in which case the fixture fee
shall only pay a fair portion of the charges.
(b) Facilities. The facilities for which the fees are collected shall be identified
in an engineer's report. Those facilities should, but need not be, included in the
District's Capital Improvement Plan.
(c) Reasonable Relationship between Development and Fee. The engineer's
report shall demonstrate a reasonable relationship between the type of development
and the use of the fee.
(d) Reasonable Relationship between Facility and Type of Development for
which Fee Imposed. The engineer's report shall demonstrate a reasonable relationship
between the type of development and the facility being proposed.
(e) Reasonable Relationship between Amount of Fee and the Cost of the
Facility or Portion of the Facility. In any action imposing a fee on a development, the
2
District shall be able to justify the amount of the fee and the cost of the facility or portion
of the facility attributable to the development.
. (f) Deposit. Upon payment of the fees, the money shall be deposited in .a
separate capital facilities account maintained in accordance with Government Code
Section 66013(d). For each such separate account, the District shall, within one
hundred eight (180) days of the close of the fiscal year, make available to the public the
following information:
(1) A description of the charges deposited in the fund.
(2) The beginning and ending balance of the fund and the interest earned
from investment of moneys in the fund.
(3) The amount of charges collected in that fiscal year.
(4) An identification of all of the following:
(A) Each public improvement on which charges were expended and the
amount of the expenditure for each improvement, including the percentage of the total
cost of the public. improvement that was funded with those charges if more than one
source of funding was used.
I* (B) Each public improvement on which charges were expended that was
completed during that fiscal year.
0
(C) Each public improvement that is anticipated to be undertaken in the
following fiscal year.
(5) A description of each interfund transfer or loan made from the capital
facilities fund. The.information provided, in the case of an interfund transfer, shall
identify the public improvements on which the transferred moneys are, or will be,
expended. The information, in the case of an interfund loan, shall include the date on
which the loan will be repaid, and the rate of interest that the fund will receive on the
loan.
Section 7.05.050. Definitions. For the purpose of this chapter, certain words
and terms are defined as follows:
(a) Fixture Fee Charges. Are those District charges paid by or on behalf of
the property owner for the construction of public improvements that will benefit a.
development and that are justified by an engineering and financial analysis in
accordance with Government Code Section 66013 or successor statute.

• Statutory use of capacity charges for sanitary districts is for acquisition,
construction, or reconstruction of local sewers.
• The District televised the 216 miles of District sewer mains from January 2006
to March 2009 under Project #175 to determine the reconstruction necessary to
insure the sewer system operates properly and reaches its life expectancy.
• The system was constructed from 1953 on, with the majority of the system
constructed from 1953 to1970. Current estimates place the life expectancy of
vitrified clay pipe (VCP) sewer systems constructed within this timeframe at 100
years, and possibly longer if properly constructed, reconstructed, and well
maintained.
• In the 2008 -2009 fiscal year, the District initiated Project #183 System Wide
Sewer Reconstruction to fund the necessary reconstruction efforts disclosed
from the televising project.
• The televising project used the National Association of Sewer Service
Companies ( NASSCO) Pipeline Assessment and Certification Program (PACP)
sewer grading system that uses 1 through 5 ratings for both structural and
maintenance categories. This industry standard grading system provides the
District the ability to understand the condition of the system and to properly plan
reconstruction efforts.
• Sanitary Sewer Overflows (SSOs) are a result of sewer system deficiencies
such as NASSCO PACP Grade 4s and 5s, structural and maintenance. SSOs
are prohibited by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and
under the State of California Water Resources Control Board General Waste
Discharge Requirements Order No. 2006 -0003 adopted May 20, 2006.
• On the NASSCO PACP rating scale, a score of 5 indicates immediate attention
is required and a score of 4 indicates reconstruction will likely be necessary in
the next few years.
The results of the District -wide CCTV project were as follows:
Grade 5 Structural Ratings 239 Reaches
Grade 4 Structural Ratings 915 Reaches
Grade 5 Maintenance Ratings 34 Reaches

• Reconstruction costs are estimated as follows:
Structural Grade 4 and 5 Ratings
a. Average anticipated reconstruction
cost of worst 29 Grade 5 = $15,400
Total structural Grade 4 and Grade 5
locations = 915 + 239 = 1,154
C. Total Cost = 1,154 x $15,400 = $17,771,600
Maintenance Grade 4 and 5 Ratings
a. CMSD in -house staff is able to remediate
213 of total locations. Average cost to
reconstruct each remaining location = $190,580
b. Locations to be reconstructed =
1 /3(Grade 4 and Grade 5) = 1/3(679 + 34)= 237
C. Total Cost = 237 x $190,580 = $45,167,406
Total Reconstruction Costs
Total Reconstruction Costs = Structural + Maintenance
Total = $17.8 million + $45.2 million = $63 million
• The current Costa Mesa Sanitary District Fixture Fees are based on
$7.50 per plumbing fixture as plumbing fixtures are defined in the
California Plumbing Code and shown therein. The Costa Mesa Sanitary
District Fixture Fees have not been increased since Ordinance No. 6 and
Ordinance No. 7 were adopted on September 3, 1969 and December 4,
1969, respectively.
• If increased 1 % per year, a reasonable yearly increase from 1971 to
2009, Fixture Fees would increase by 48% from $7.50 per plumbing
fixture to $11.08 per plumbing fixture. This would increase the average
fixture fees for a new residence from $245 to approximately $360 per
residence. Credit for fixtures removed when new fixtures are added will
also correspondingly increase.
A similar method to consider an increase in the fixture fees from 1971 to
the present is the increase in the Construction Cost Index (CCI). The
total CCI increase from 1971 to 2009 is 188 %, or an average yearly CCI
increase of 4.82 %, which is above the I% increase calculated above by
assuming an increase of 1 % per year since 1971. Attached is a copy of
the Construction- Cost Index yearly increases.

• Assuming a conservative standpoint of utilizing the smaller increase of
1% per year, the basic fixture fee unit will be $11.08.
• As part of this report, a map of the District with the locations of the Grade
4 and Grade 5 structural and maintenance ratings was prepared. The
locations are distributed relatively evenly throughout the District,
indicating the fixture fees and the increases thereto, are appropriately
applied to all categories of development and all parcels within the
District. The map is attached hereto.
• Fixture Fee revenue averaged approximately $48,000 over the last 10
years with a high of $77,358 in fiscal year 2003 -2004. Increasing the
$48,000 average by 48% equates to approximately $71,040. Funding
$63 million at $71,040 per year will take approximately 887 years
indicating additional revenue sources are required.

Memorandum
To: Board of Directors
From: Robin B. Hamers, District Engineer
Via: Scott Carroll, General Manage
Date: May 27, 2010
.. an Independent Specia D&trict
Subject: 789 Paularino Avenue, Costa Mesa
Illegal Sewer Connection
Summary
The deceased husband of Ms. Jean L' Park illegally connected property at 789
Paularino Avenue to the CMSD sewer system by constructing a lateral from 789
Paularino across the property line of 795 Paularino Avenue and into the private sewer
of 795 Paularino Avenue. Both properties are owned by Ms. Park. The property at
789 Paularino has never been annexed to the Costa Mesa Sanitary District.
Staff Recommendation
Because of Ms. Park's elderly stature and the trouble communicating with her, Staff
developed a very flexible and reasonable approach to legalizing her husband's
actions. Staff recommends the Board approve the three provisions described in the
draft letter to Ms. Park attached hereto.
Analysis
Years ago the District embarked on an annexation clean -up effort to annex all
properties connected to the sewer system. At the time, the owner of 789 Paularino
Avenue, Mr. Park, declined and stated he would leave the property on a septic system.
Sometime thereafter, Mr. Park illegally connected the property to the private sewer on
795 Paularino Avenue.
Staff has had difficulty communicating with Ms. Park and most of the conversations
are with her son -in -law who lives outside Orange County. Ms. Park and her son -in4aw
• desire to comply with District regulations although no estimates of fees or construction
costs have been provided to them: Besides the standard connection charges of
approximately $4,010., the construction cost of constructing a separate sewer
Protecting our commun.ity's heahh.. and the environment by providing sof dwaste andsewer collection services.

Board of Directors
May 27, 2010
Page 2 of 3
connection to the District main in Paularino Avenue and the associated on -site sewer
is estimated at $15,000. Therefore, without penalties, the cost for Ms. Park to comply
could easily exceed $20,000.
In order to avoid appearing heavy- handed with an elderly resident (although Ms. Perk
owns both properties and is likely receiving rent from the pre - school at 795 Paularino
Avenue), District Staff proposes a covenant for Ms. Park that would be recorded
against both properties and require the construction of a separate sewer lateral for 189
Paularino Avenue prior to the sale or transfer of either property.
However, because the property at 789 Paularino is receiving sewer service and is not
annexed, it is recommended to collect the annexation fee and other standard
connection charges at this time.
Orange County LAFCO stated they will assist in attempting to waive the LAFCO fee,
the State Board of Equalization fee, and the Orange County Surveyor's fee.
Legal Review
Attorney Alan Burns has preliminarily stated a covenant is an acceptable guarantee for
having the separate sewer service constructed prior to sale of either parcel.
® Financial Review
If the District were to collect the connection charges shown in the attached letter, the
only District cost not covered by the fees will be the cost to prepare the covenant. Cllr.
Burns stated his time to prepare the covenant will be approximately two hours ($350) if
all the proper backup documentation is provided by the owner.
Committee Recommendation
This report will be reviewed by the Sewer System Committee on May 18, 201.0 and
any recommendations will be discussed at tonight's meeting.
Public Notice Process
Copies of this report are on file and will be included with the entire agenda packet for
the May 27, 2010 at District Headquarters.
Alternative Actions
Require Ms. Park to immediately construct separate sewer service for
795 Paularino Avenue.
0 2. Impose penalties on Ms. Park for the illegal sewer connection.
3. Refer the matter back to staff for additional information.

From:
Scott Carroll, General Man ag
Via:
Associate District Counsel
Date: May 27, 2010
Subject: Adoption of an Ordinance Enacting an Administrative Citation
Imposing Civil Fines for Violations of District Ordinances
Summary
Proposed for your consideration is a final copy of the ordinance reviewed on April 22,
2010, enacting an administrative citation system for the District's Operations Code.
This ordinance allows a code violation to be prosecuted civilly. Because violations
would be civil, the offender would not be subjected to criminal sanctions. Staff would
still have discretion to cite violations as criminal offenses when appropriate.
As requested by the Board, a provision was added reducing the fine for a first time
Violation of District's container placement law to $75.00 and the provisions providing
for a hearing in front of the General Manager were used instead of employing the
"hearing body" alternative.
Three other minor amendments were also made: (1) at section 1.06.030, regarding
posting, language "other than where the violation occurs" was eliminated as
redundant, (2) the requirement that the Enforcement Official issue a notice of
compliance was eliminated because it is not required by the administrative citation
statute (Cal. Government Code Section 53069., 4), and (3) "from the date of the first
violation" was eliminated from section 1.06.070 to clarify that any three violations
within a one year period 'trigger increased fines, rather than just three violations within
one year of a person's "first violation."
Staff Recommendation
Staff recommends that the Board of Directors adopt Ordinance No. 77 enacting an
administrative civil citation system for ordinance violations..

Lesial Review
Associate District Counsel prepared this staff report and the proposed ordinance.
Financial Review
This system will generate revenues for the District. It is difficult to estimate the
potential revenues because this type of system has never been used before by the
District. However, if the District issues 10 citations and they are upheld by the Hearing
Officer or Hearing Body and the offenders do not appeal, the District would generate
$2,500.
It is difficult to estimate the expenses that will incur under this new system. If many
offenders appeal to the Superior Court, our costs will exceed revenues due to counsel
costs for defending the District: Administrative costs will incur for planning and
conducting hearings. Staff estimates it will cost $136 per hearing if the District uses a
"Hearing Officer" method.
Committee Recommendation
0.
Not applicable
Public Notice Process
This item has been properly agendized in accordance with the Ralph M. Brown Act
and shall be published once in a newspaper published in within the District's
boundaries after adoption in accordance with Health and Safety Code Sections 6491.3
and 6490. Copies of this report are on file with the entire agenda packet at District
Headquarters.
Alternative Actions
1. Adopt the Administrative Citation Ordinance. Once adopted, code
violations will generally be prosecuted administratively, however, the
District will retain authority to issue criminal citations.
2. Reject the Administrative Citation Ordinance thereby maintaining the
status quo and relying on criminal enforcement by the City of Costa
Mesa Code Enforcement or our own enforcement officer with
prosecution through the District Attorney's office.
3. Suggest changes to the Administrative Citation Ordinance and direct
Staff to bring an amended ordinance back for review.

(c) Payments. If the responsible party does not make a timely request for a hearing, he, she or it
must pay the administrative fine directlyy to the Costa Mesa Sanitary District within fifteen (15)
calendar days from the date the administrative citation is issued. Payment of a fine shall not
excuse or discharge the failure to correct the violation(s) nor shall it bar further enforcement
action by the District.
(d) No Waiver. Under no circumstances shall the payment of the administrative fine constitute a
waiver of the responsibly party's right to a hearing. Therefore, a responsible party may pay the
administrative fine within the fifteen (15) calendar day period and also obtain a hearing to protest
the imposition of the administrative fine, provided that the responsible party makes a timely
request for a hearing.

failure to correct the violation shall increase at a rate specified in this chapter.

fines related to the permit, license, or approval totaling Five Hundred Dollars ($500.00) or more
that have been delinquent for over thirty (30) calendar days. The suspension shall become
effective twenty (20) calendar days after the day notice of suspension is placed in the U.S. mail,
postage prepaid, addressed to the person and shall continue until the delinquency is paid in full.
Continuing to operate under a suspended permit, license or approval shall be grounds for
revocation of the permit, license or approval.
(d) Any violation of this chapter shall constitute a public nuisance. To compel compliance, the
District may seek to abate the nuisance and collect the costs incurred by means 'of a nuisance
abatement lien and/or special assessment against the property where a property- related violation
occurred. Any unpaid delinquent civil fines, interest and penalties may be recovered as part of
any such lien or special assessment against the property of the responsible party who is the
• owner of the property where the violation occurred.
• (1) To pursue an abatement of a code violation as a nuisance and recover the costs,
including any delinquent civil fines, interest and penalties as an abatement lien or special
assessment, the District may take the following steps:
a. Submit to and receive from the Board of Directors a resolution certifying the
amounts of the liens and special assessments sought to be collected from each property owner;
b. Request the Orange County Recorder to record a notice of any liens, or special
assessments, and send the Recorder the resolution certifying the amounts;
c. Request the Orange County Tax Collector collect any special assessments
certified by the Board of Directors; and
d. Take any other necessary action to enforce collection of any liens, or special
assessments provided for in this chapter.
(2) The District may pursue the lien and special assessment remedies whether or not the
District is pursuing any other action to terminate an ongoing code violation that was the basis for
the fine.
• (3) The. lien or assessment shall be imposed on the date the citation for the Code
violation is issued to the responsible person and becomes effective upon the recording of a
• Notice of Lien or Assessment by the County Recorder. This notice shall satisfy the notice
requirements when an administrative citation is personally served on the responsible party. in
addition, the District shall send notice by first class mail stating the date, time and location of the
meeting to each property owner listed in the proposed resolution at least ten (10) days before the
Board of Directors considers the resolution and certifies the amounts of the liens and special
assessments.
(4) A responsible party may contest the amount and/or validity of any lien or assessment
for a civil fine at the public hearing to certify the amount of the lien or assessment by the Board
of Directors. Such contests shall be limited to the issue of the amount and/or validity of the lien
or assessment and may not consider whether the underlying Code violation occurred. Pursuit of
such a contest by a responsible party is necessary to exhaust the administrative remedies
concerning a legal challenge to the validity of any such lien or assessment. .
(e) The parent or legal guardian of a responsible party who is a minor shall be liable for any
fines imposed upon the minor pursuant to the provisions of this chapter. Any such fines may be
collected from the minor, parent or guardian.
Section 3. Should any part, clause or section of this Ordinance be declared by any Court of
competent jurisdiction to be invalid, the remaining provisions of this Ordinance shall nevertheless
be and remain in full force and effect and the Board of Directors of the Costa Mesa Sanitary District
of Orange County, California, hereby declares that each and every section, clause, provision or part
of this Ordinance would have been adopted and made a part of this Ordinance without the adoption
of any portion thereof and that the invalidity of any part or provision hereof shall not in any. way
affect the validity or enforcement of the remaining provisions of this Ordinance that may stand on
their own.
Section 4. Pursuant to Health and Safety Code Sections 6490 and 6491.3, the Clerk shall cause this
ordinance or a summary thereof to be published in a newspaper of general. circulation printed and
published in the District according to law.

CONFERENCE — APRIL 2010
eDiscovery, Electronic Public Records and other Virtual Headaches for the
Custodian of Records
While technology is quintessentially supposed to make life easier, in the world of
records management and litigation discovery, it has made life decidedly more
complicated. As custodian of records for a public agency, technology has made
the job more. difficult. The scope of material considered "records" has become
larger and less obvious.
Legislature has change drastically in the past 10 -15 years due primarily to:
Term limits
Redistricting
Speed of information
Resulting in:
• Lack of strong leadership
Lack of institutional knowledge
Increased partisanship
The Public Records Act is one of the key components in California's commitment
to open government. The City /District clerk's role in administering the Public
Records Act is vital. Well managed records made easily accessible to inquiring
members of the public by helpful staff members fosters confidence and trust in
the fairness and integrity of local government.
The records custodian is the person responsible for keeping records in the
ordinary course of business. In most cities /districts, that is the City /District Clerk.
A "record" is broadly defined under the Public Records Act:
"Public records includes any writing containing information relating to the
conduct of the public's business prepared, owned, used or retained by any state
or local agency regardless of physical form or characteristics.
"Writing" means any handwriting typewriting, printing, Photostatting,
photographing, photocopying, transmitting by electronic mail or facsimile, and
every other means of recording upon any tangible thing any form of
• communication or representation, including letters, words, pictures, sounds, or
symbols, or combinations thereof, and any record thereby created, regardless of
the manner in which the record has been stored.
• A public record is subject to disclosure regardless of its physical form or
characteristics" which certainly encompasses email messages or a -blog posts if
they otherwise meet the statutory definition. Past court decisions have exempted
from the reaches of this otherwise broad definition those records that have no
relation to the conduct, of public business. Example:. If an employee is keeping
grocery lists on a city -owned computer, the lists are not made "public records"
just because they are in the possession of the city.
A Public Records Act request may be in writing or oral.
Many employees are under the impression that the law requires that the entity
produce the records within 10 days of the request. This is not a bad
misconception in most cases and 10 days is a good target deadline to produce
responsive documents to satisfy a Public Records Act request. However, the law
requires two different timelines: 1) The city /district must produce disclosable
records "promptly" and 2) the city /district has 10 days to determine whether
requested records are subject to disclosure and notify the requester when the
records subject to disclosure will be available. Under certain circumstances set
forth in the Public Records Act, the entity may extend by up to 14 additional days
the 10 -day period to determine whether responsive records subject to disclosure
exist.
• The Public Records Act obligates cities /districts to provide electronic copies of
existing non - exempt records requested in an electronic format that the entity has
used for itself, unless doing so would compromise the security of integrity of the
original record or any proprietary software the entity is licensed to use.
The Public Records Act governs access to public records; it does not regulate
the records that must be retained. Retention policies do play an important
role in the integrity of the city's recordkeeping and thus contribute to
building confidence in local government.
Proposition 59
The Public Records Act creates a right of access to public documents, however,
many believe that the laws do not effectively force the government to release
information. Exceptions that allow some documents to be withheld from
disclosure have created controversy and frustration. In several key cases, the
courts have ruled in favor of the government's right to keep records private.
2
The biggest grievance critics of the Public Records Act express is that there are
no effective consequences for noncompliance, Enforcement is exclusively
accomplished by litigation which is expensive and burdensome. While the Public
Records Act does allow a successful litigant to recover his /her attorney's fees,
advocates of greater government transparency claim this is an insufficient
incentive to bring the lawsuit in the first place. Thus, these advocates believe the
government is getting away with withholding documents. This is the context in
which Proposition 59 — the Sunshine Amendment — was placed on the ballot.
California voters overwhelmingly approved (83% voting yes) Proposition 59 on
the November 2004 state ballot.
If you don't want document revealed, do not retain.
Electronically Stored Information (ESI)
The California Electronic Discovery Act defines ESI as "information that is stored
in an electronic medium" and defines "electronic" as "relating to technology
having electrical, digital, magnetic, wireless, optical, electromagnetic, or similar
capabilities.
• The first step involves a comprehensive map of the city's (district's) electronic
network and resources. This is also a good time to determine cost and expense
of producing certain types of date, or archived ESI. From this information,
develop a definition of what is to be considered "inaccessible" and use the
information to justify the definition.
U
CONCLUSION:
CMSD must establish a Records Management and Records Retention Policy
(including ESI) that complies with all legal requirements and implement it
faithfully. Funds are included in the proposed 2010 -2011 District budget.

Lance Natsuhara reviewed the details of the present construction activities
Location along Reach 9 phase 2B as outlined in the handout entitled "Santa Ana River

Santa Ana CA 92702.5000 construction funds for the bank protection facilities along Reach 9 along with
the relocation work for the SARI line.
The total cost of the Santa Ana River Project is now projected to be $1.89
billion. The remaining costs to complete the project are $194 million in federal
funds and $247 million in local funds. When the Reach 9 improvements are
completed the 91 freeway embankment will be protected, a new bridge and
golf course entrance will be constructed and the golf course will be restored for
use. The golf course lost 10 holes in the. new construction but an 18 hole
course has been restored. The public has generally been very well pleased
with the new golf course layout.
The stimulus funding provided $26 million for this construction activity. The
contract was awarded for about $17 million and the rest of those funds will be
used for mitigation work. The mitigation work will be coordinated with the golf .
course layout so that they will be operational.

The SARI line reconstruction will go forward with the sheet piling along certain
sections of the Reach 9 embankment. The SARI line relocation work is a local
obligation of the District as a utility relocation project., Funding is being
provided through subvention funding and local funding by the County
Sanitation Districts.
Questions were raised about the relocation of the SARI line and how it fits with
the levee construction activities. It was necessary to provide sheet piling along
certain areas so that the sewer relocation can proceed after the levee work.
Several contracts will be let for work in this area and it will be a challenge to
coordinate the activities with Caltrans freeway work, the SARI line work and
the river bank work. Rights of way will have to be modified to accommodate
the work in this area. Progress has been made with Caltrans right of way so
that work may be able to move forward in May which is a culmination of three
years of prior work. The members offered their congratulations to Lance
Natsuhara for his hard work and all he's done to make this project a success.
Lance Natsuhara announced that the County recently received subvention
funds in the amount of $8.4 million which can be used for property acquisition
at Prado Dam. Several parcels may be purchased and in the future hopefully
about $20 million will be available for additional property acquisitions.
A question was raised whether or not federal funds can be used for property
acquisitions. Lance Natsuhara replied that there is a section in the WRDA
language that could provide a loan to a local sponsor but the money would
have to be paid back with interest at the end of construction of the project.
Several alternative concepts were discussed whereby funds would be borrowed
from the Corps, but ultimately the costs are to be shared 50 -50.
Questions were raised about the cross sections shown on the exhibit and it
was explained that they are the various different configurations during
different phases of construction. Another question was asked regarding the
access to the golf course's new bridge entrance. It was explained that the
access was from the access road and not directly from the freeway. It was
also asked about the capacity of the new outlet works compared to the old
outlet. The new release is designed for 30,000 cfs and with the increase
downstream the river discharge to the ocean would be 48,000 cfs.
Nadeem Majaj reported on his trip to Washington, D.C. The request for
funding for the SAR project is $73 million but the President's budget is for 25
million. It remains to be seen what the authorized funding will be for the next
fiscal year. Congresswoman Loretta Sanchez was very supportive of the
project and recommended that the full $73 million in her budget request;
which shows her great support for the project.
Nadeem Majaj reviewed the insurance costs on the Seven Oaks Dam since its •

construction and the cost has been $400,000 per year, it was then reduced to
$300,000 per year, but just recently the dam was placed in an umbrella policy
and the cost has been totally eliminated.
Jan Debay noted her meeting. with Senator Feinstein and her interest in the
property acquisition program at Prado Dam and her interest in helping to find
ways to obtain additional funding.
Nadeem noted that is was very important to have these meetings with our
congressional delegation and to keep them informed as to the funding
requirements on a yearly basis.
Comments were made about the conservation of the water that is retained
behind Prado Dam and Seven Oaks Dam and the accumulation of silt where
the water remained for extensive periods of-time.
3. Update on status of Westminster Watershed projects
The Westminster Watershed Study is an important segment of the Santa Ana
River Watershed. The Watershed Study has been funded in the amount of
$279,000 and will eventually be considered for additional funding In the normal
WRDA funding process. It was noted that the Westminster Watershed
discharges into the Huntington Harbor and not the Santa Ana River but it is
within the Santa Ana River Watershed and will need additional funding to solve
its flood control problems. The Corps has included this area in a
comprehensive watershed study.
4. Review and consideration of aRuroval of the 2010 — 2011 budget
It was noted that each year there is a significant reduction in the General
Reserve Balance and that consideration should be given to an increase in
annual membership dues.
Motion was made by John Collins and seconded by Jan Debay to present the
budget to the full agency for approval with suggested alternatives for possible
amendments.
S. Public and Representative Comments.
There were no additional comments.

Keynote Session: Dick Ruhe, Ph.D. — "Leadership for a Reenergized Workforce"
Dr. Dick Ruhe is a specialist on leadership, change, quality and teambuilding. As a senior consulting partner for the Ken
Blanchard Companies, he is the author of the training program Total Quality Leadership.
During this dynamic presentation, learn why good performers sometimes take so long to provide effective leadership.
Leaders know how to preserve the organization's values while changing the way it operates. It is important to retrain
and redeploy the workforce in order to merge organizational objectives with the goals of individuals. Both leadership and
management have their places in capitalizing on the talents of people at all levels. It is important to be both visionary and
practical and to be capable of moving from discussions of purpose to the details of actual practice.
