MANAGER'S REPORTS
TRASH COLLECTION PROGRAM
OPPORTUNITIES FOR DECREASING CMSD TRASH COLLECTION RATES
Mr. Hamers reported the Board asked Staff to investigate the District's
rate and provide an explanation as to why it is close to the highest rate in
Orange County. Mr. Hamers reported Staff met with CR &R to receive
input. A letter from Mr. Dean Ruff ridge, Senior Vice President of CR &R,
was provided to the Board.
Mr. Ruffridge's letter offered the explanation that the District has a higher
cost because the Costa Mesa Sanitary District has a "single stream"
program with a guaranteed 50% recycling rate.
Mr. Hamers discussed the options available to the Board:
1. Accept the justification provided by CR &R that states the CMSD rate is
appropriate at the existing and projected future cost levels that include
a yearly CPI increase plus new pass- through costs.

2. Retain a consultant who has experience in trash collection matters to
perform a rate justification investigation.
3. Place Costa Mesa Disposal and CR Transfer on notice that the six -
year rolling contract is being terminated with the intention of placing the
trash collection and recycling contract out to bid.
Mr. Burns inquired as to whether the current demand for materials makes
recyclables more valuable and thereby brings in more money. Mr.
Ruffridge acknowledged recyclables are currently garnering a high rate.
Ms. Davis asked Mr. Ruffridge why the District isn't receiving a reduced
rate when CR &R is receiving more money for recycling 50% of the trash.
Director Worthington suggested a future contract should contain a
provision to receive a portion of the money received from selling the
recyclables.
Mr. Burns asked if the District's rate would go down if they recycled a
lesser percent.
Mr. Ruffridge explained that in a contract where a city shares in recyclable
income, they share when the return drops and the cost to dispose of the
materials exceeds the return on the item.
Mr. Hamers requested CR &R provide an estimation of charges should the
District reduce recycling percentages. CR &R will provide the list for
comparison at the May 4, 2006 Special Meeting.
Mr. Ruffridge stated the rate the District is paying is negotiable.
Mr. Fauth provided an overview of the breakdown of volume of trash
picked up per day from the eleven various routes.
Vice President Woodside suggested the item be continued to the Special
Meeting for further discussion. Additional questions for Staff are to be
directed to Ms. Revak.
Mr. Ruffridge left the meeting at 6:50 p.m.

REQUEST FROM CR &R FOR PASS - THROUGH FUEL COSTS AND OTHER
PROVISIONS
CR &R has requested an increase for pass- through fuel costs, processing
costs, and other increases that are extraordinary in nature. Discussion on
May 4, 2006 will include this request.
TRANSFER OF OWNERSHIP OF TRASH CONTAINERS TO COSTA MESA DISPOSAL
Mr. Hamers reported the Board asked Staff to ascertain whether CR &R
would take over ownership of the trash containers. Mr. Hamers reported
CR &R would take over responsibility of the containers if the District would
complete the payoff of the initial loan taken to purchase the containers.
CR &R would not provide compensation to the District for the existing
containers. CR &R agreed to absorb all future costs for replacement and
purchase of additional new containers.
PROJECTED 2006 -2007 TRASH COLLECTION PROGRAM BUDGET
Ms. Davis and Ms. Kallab prepared an estimate of what the 2006 -2007 •
budget would be for trash services. The minimum increase, based on
costs, would be 7 to 8 percent.
SEWER PROGRAM
FIELD MAINTENANCE SERVICES
Mr. Hamers reported contractors National Plant Services and Jimni are
performing well for the District.
PRELIMINARY 2006 -2007 CIP
Mr. Hamers reported a revised Capital Improvement Plan was faxed to
Board members. Mr. Hamers reported the projected sewer program
increase was pared down to approximately a 12 percent increase, with the
CIP consisting of mostly maintenance items such as televising the system,
FOG program, and WDR requirements for cleaning.
Mr. Burns suggested Mr. Hamers request the City of Costa Mesa provide
the District with any /all records from cleaning the sewer system.
Special Meetings will be held on May 4, 2006 and May 25, 2006 for •
additional discussion.

STANDARDIZED TRASH CONTAINER PROGRAM REPORTS
Mr. Hamers reported Staff meets with Mr. Shef on a regular basis and
during their recent meeting three items of concern regarding the
standardized trash container program were discussed. The number one
item of concern is removing the trash containers the evening after the
trash is collected. Number two, all the trash inside the containers with the
lids closed and number three is the marking of addresses on the
containers by residents.
Mr. Fauth provided a synopsis of performance review of Costa Mesa
Disposal. Mr. Fauth reported District Staff will meet with Costa Mesa
Disposal on June 12, 2006, to discuss the 7 -item list compiled by Staff and
sent to Norma Fernandez, Costa Mesa Disposal, on April 19, 2006.
Overall, the District is pleased with the service, but would like to see
improvement in a few areas.
Mr. Fauth provided a status update on the number of containers in
inventory.
The Ordinance Enforcement Summary Report for the month of March 2006
was accepted. Mr. Shef reported address marking seems to be increasing in
the multi - family housing areas. Mr. Shef speculated the rainy weather
contributed to containers being left out after pickup and trash bags not being
picked up by CMD drivers.

Mr. Fauth reported on a small battery recycling program offered by Curbside
Inc. The program includes a leak proof five and one -half gallon container with
a hole in the top. The container is labeled indicating it is for small batteries
only and is designed to be placed in a high traffic area where the effort to
dispose of the batteries is minimal. The bucket can hold 90 -100 batteries.
When full, the sponsoring agency or business will contact Curbside for
collection and a replacement container will be left at the location. Public
Agencies pay after the batteries are collected and the entire cost for the
program is $175.00 per bucket and includes recycling of batteries, collection &
transportation, cost of bucket and insurance.
