Mr. Hamers reviewed a memorandum dated September 28, 2004 to the Board of
Directors analyzing the components of a comprehensive variable rate trash collection
program and a simplified variable rate program. Mr. Hamers reviewed the extensive
time required of Staff, the District's ordinance enforcement officer, and Costa Mesa
Disposal drivers and office personnel for the implementation and management of a
comprehensive program. Mr. Hamers also reviewed the components of a simplified
program.
After discussion, motion made by Director Perry, seconded by Director Ferryman, to
direct staff to implement the components of a simplified variable trash collection rate
program as outlined in said memorandum, subject to additional staff analysis and Board
of Directors review of potential end of year rebates. Motion carried 5 -0.
III. City /District Agreement
Mr. Hamers and Mr. Burns provided a review of events to date regarding the City of
Costa Mesa's desire to add a residential trash collection franchise fee to the City /District
operating agreement currently under consideration by both parties. The City followed
the deletion of this provision from the proposed agreement by the inclusion of a
residential franchise fee in a new City ordinance schedule for first reading on October 4,
2004. After discussion, the Board directed Staff to prepare a letter for President
Schafer's signature to the City Council opposing a residential trash collection franchise
fee and to have said letter delivered to the City prior to the Council meeting that
evening. The Board also requested that Director Worthington attend the meeting and
speak in opposition to the ordinance on behalf of the District.
IV. Tour of CR Transfer
Director Worthington suggested the District consider providing a tour of the CR Transfer
recycling facility to the candidates for Costa Mesa City Council prior to the November
election. Director Worthington explained the candidates are more likely to accept the
invitation for a tour and the benefits of utilizing the comprehensive facility prior to the
election because after the election their schedules will be full. President Schafer 0

agreed that the invitation for a tour of the facility is an excellent suggestion but
requested the tour be offered after the election due to the candidates' busy pre - election
schedule and to insure the attendees are City Council members. Mr. Worthington
agreed to postpone the recommendation until after the election.
V. Public Comments
There were no members of the general public in attendance.

Costa Mesa Sanitary District
District Relocates to New Headquarters
Costa Mesa, California — The Costa Mesa Sanitary District Board of Directors
unanimously voted in May 2003 to relocate to the new Headquarters Facility, now
located at 628 West 19th Street, Costa Mesa. The five - member Board of Directors,
including President Arlene Schafer, Vice President Greg Woodside, Secretary James
Ferryman, Director Arthur Perry and Director Dan Worthington recognized the need to
provide significantly improved workspace for the Staff, to enhance the District's Identity,
to hire its own employees and to improve customer service. Formerly, the District Staff
was located in the Public Services Department of City Hall. Though a separate entity
from the City of Costa Mesa, from 1953 through 2004 the District operated with an
agreement with the City for specified services, including staffing. While this relocation
ends the long- standing contractual relationship between the District and the City of
Costa Mesa, the two government agencies will continue to cooperate on several
projects. The newly renovated 4200 square foot Headquarters will host the ten member
full -time and part-time Staff, consisting of the following positions:
Manager /District Engineer
Robin Hamers
Assistant Manager
Thomas Fauth
Board Secretary/Program Manager
Joan Revak
General Counsel
Alan Burns
Treasurer
Wendy Davis
Accountant
Sherry Kallab

The District serves a population of 116,700 as its service area includes the City of Costa •
Mesa, sections of Newport Beach and unincorporated areas of Orange County. The
District was formed in 1944 for the purpose of installing a sewer system and collecting
trash. The District's mission has remained the same as it was 60 years ago: To provide
the best possible service at a reasonable cost to its customers. The District has seen
many changes in its history but is still managed by a five - member board of directors as it
was in 1944. Board meetings remain open to the public and are conducted in an
informal manner, fostering an environment where concerns can be discussed and
problems can be resolved constructively. The main purpose of the District remains
unchanged as its primary responsibilities are sewer system maintenance for 326 miles of
sewer lines and residential trash collection from over 21,100 customers.
The District continues to offer numerous special programs to residential customers. The
popular programs include the Standardized Trash Container Program, Telephone Book
Recycling, Annual Large Item Collection, Home Generated Sharps Recycling through
local pharmacies, Used Tire Recycling, Household Hazardous Waste Recycling,
Christmas Tree Recycling and Greeting Card Recycling. The newest programs are the
presentation of Recycling Concepts and Vermicomposting demonstrations to the schools
within the District. The District also publishes and distributes the biennial newsletter and
helpful pamphlets to customers on various recycling and sewer maintenance topics.
A free educational video is available and may be obtained by calling the new District
phone number 949 - 645 -8400, operational after September 27, 2004. Additional
information about the Costa Mesa Sanitary District can be found at •
