SUBJECT: THE ROLE OF RESERVES IN SOLID WASTE FUND (594)
FOR BOARD MEETING OF MARCH 8, 2001
INFORMATION REQUEST
You had requested information related to the role of "reserves" in the Sold Waste budget.
BACKGROUND
In fund accounting, there are two terms that are used to indicate restriction of fund balances or fund
equity. The two terms, reserves and designations, have slightly different meanings.
The term "reserve" should be limited to indicating that a portion of fund equity is not appropriable for
expenditure or is legally segregated for a specific future use. Fund equity "designations" may be
established to indicate tentative plans for financial resource utilization in a future period, such as for
equipment replacement.
During the budget deliberations for FY01, several financial policies were proposed and adopted by the
Board. Among those policies proposed was a policy to set the Operating Reserve for the Solid Waste
Fund at a minimum of 25% of the operating budget. This policy was not approved pending the
completion of the strategic planning process recently undertaken.
ANALYSIS
While there is no accounting standard that promulgates what an appropriate level of operating reserves
should be, there is an accepted "rule of thumb" that is generally applied when setting the level of
reserves. This accepted practice is that a minimum of "three months worth of operating expenditures"
(251/o , of budgeted appropriations) should be maintained in an operating reserve or budget stabilization
fund for the purpose of funding budgetary shortfalls or unknown, unforeseen and unbudgeted
occurrences.
Since the trash collection is done on a contractual basis, this reserve provides assurances to the Board
and intended service recipients that there will not be sudden increases in rates due to changes in landfill
costs, collection and recycling costs or failure to perform on the part of the contractor. Other examples
of the potential uses of the operating reserve might include unforeseen revenue shortfalls as a result of
incidents such as the Orange County bankruptcy or the County's failure to distribute tax collections on a
timely basis.
An operating reserve provides a needed "cushion" to the District's budget to allow for a managed
transition should any unforeseen circumstance need to be addressed. Based upon the current budget, a
reserve equivalent to 25% of budgeted appropriations in the Solid Waste Fund would amount to
approximately $1,001,068. After funding the operating reserve at this level, $1,522,731 would be
available to fund the purchase of standardized trash containers.
If you have questions or need additional information, feel free to contact me directly.

Subject: DISTRICT'S SEWER SYSTEM
As described in the project report, when the long -term sewer replacement fund
was established, the gravity sewer portion of the District's system is made up of
vitrified clay pipe (VCP) and is in excellent condition.
The attached brochure is from the National Clay Pipe Institute, a promoter of
VCP, but nevertheless, it does contain interesting information regarding the life
expectancy of VCP sewers. As you read through the brochure, please keep in
mind that the CMSD system was installed mainly in the early 1950's, making it
50 years old.

"
Keeping Runway 32L 14R, the busiest runway in the world
operational, along with its five other runways is no small
challenge at Chicago's O'Hare Airport. According to Chief
Engineer Steve Shelus of the Department of Aviation,
"O'Hare does not have the luxury of taking a runway out
of service to do maintenance or to make improvements.
For that reason, one runway is resurfaced every year."
The interesting part is that it all takes place at night. The
work begins at 10:00 p.m. and the runway has to be
operational by 6:00 a.m. the following morning. All night
long it is a race against the clock. The contractor must grind
the top surface off, scrape it, pave it, stripe it and get it
open by 6:00 a.m. If the runway is not ready for Flight
operations, the penalty for liquidated damages is $1,000 a
minute for the first 15 minutes and $10,000 for each 15
minute period after that.
Runway drainage is provided by 8 -inch perforated clay pipe
which is placed in the shoulders along each side.
Fortunately, the clay pipe need not be replaced because it
has been found to be quite durable. According to Bill
Paschen, of A.O.R., O'Hare's Construction Manager, the
clay pipe is not something they routinely think about. They
know it's there, they know it's working and they move on to
other matters. Both Steve and Bill agree that the drainage
and sewer lines are not a conern. They just don't worry
about it. In fact, they wish that other materials would be as
trouble free as the clay pipe systems. To quote Bill Paschen,
the job goes something like this - "they design it, they
submit it, they get it approved, they put it in and we
never hear anything more about it. " Steve Shelus adds,
"We have thousands and thousands of feet installed
around the airport and we just don't think about it once
it is installed."
Construction of new facilities and infrastructure and
maintenance or replacement of the old is a continuing
activity. Like most major cities, the airport is a major factor
in the life of the city and surrounding communities. As
PRINTED ON RECYCLED PAPER
in the life of the city and surrounding communities. As
Mayor Richard M. Daley stated, "O'Hare fuels the economy
of Chicago."
With over two billion dollars to be spent in land side
improvements over the next several years, there will be a
new look at O'Hare. A new commercial zone will be
developed with convenient rail transport. Bill Paschen
concluded his remarks by saying, "clay pipe will be a part
of all that expansion. Anything under 24 inches is
definitely clay, the availability of it, the ease with which
it gets approved, the ease with which it gets delivered,
the ease with which it gets put in the ground, I mean, it's
so vanilla, it's so easy and you just don't hear of
problems with VCP. It is a real credit to the industry."

CLAY PIPE OUTLASTS THE COMPr F,
Sewer Sense has
carried articles from
many sources. Here's
what some have said:
THE BEST IS BARELY GOOD ENOUGH
Pat Choate, author of America in Ruins.
"Governments at all levels must get greater value for
their public works investment. This means that quality
must become a prime consideration when investment
decisions are made. The performance, safety and
durability of any public facility requires first -rate
engineering, top - quality materials and excellent
workmanship."
BUILD AS THOUGH IT WERE FOREVER
James L. Oberstar, Congressman from Minnesota's 8th
District, the ranking member of the House of
Representatives Transportation Committee.
"If Minos, King of ancient Crete, had tried to guess which
of his architectural wonders would survive, one right
answer would have been clay pipe. Sanitary clay drains,
still in good condition, were found in the remains of the
royal palace of Knossos on the island of Crete, built
almost 4,000 years ago.
You hope your infrastructure doesn't have to last for
4,000 years, but you'd better build it as though it has to. "
NEW CLAY PIPE SEWERS BRING RELIEF
TO CITY OF REDLANDS, CALIFORNIA
Mohammed Rowther, Project Engineer of BSI
"Vitrified Clay Pipe was preferred due to its past
longevity and present performance. 1 have more faith in
the strength of rigid pipe than a flexible pipe that relies
heavily on pipe bedding for its supportive strength."
NEW INSIGHT INTO PIPE DEFLECTION
PREDICTIONS
M.G. Spangler, retired Professor of Civil Engineering at Iowa
State University.
Professor Spangler's investigations into the behavior of
buried flexible conduit led to the development of the
equation for predicting the deflection of flexible pipe.
Q. Many believe clay pipe is the best product for sanitary
sewers, and, if properly designed and installed, a clay pipe
line has no determinant life span.
A. "I have the same impressions."
Q. How long do you think a sewer line should last?
A. "I don't have an answer to that except that if it is not
subjected to unusual erosive or corrosive forces, it'll last
forever. Frankly, I think that clay pipe could stand up
much longer than any plastic pipe."
"In 1880 the city fathers of Salt Lake City had a new
sanitary sewer placed on Main Street... it was vitrified
clay pipe. Sewer lines were televised in the summer of
1983 to assess their condition... (and)... the Main Street
sewer is in excellent condition.
In the past year we have had two failures of vitrified clay
sewer lines. One installed in 1909, the other in 1916.
Both of these failures were caused by the line being laid
on wood planks in alkaline ground water conditions. The
planks have long since rotted away and with no support
the line finally broke under heavy use of the roadways
above them About fifty feet from the last break
the sewer line runs under the railroad tracks. Under
those tracks the sewer line was cast iron. More than half
of the cast pipe has been eaten up by the alkaline ground
water.
Vitrified clay pipe wil obviously last over a hundred years
if it is laid property."
ITION AND ITS EVEN CLOSE
A CASE OF PERMANENCE. 100 YEARS
OF SERVICE FOR SAN FRANCISCO'S
CABLE CARS AND CLAY SEWERS
San Francisco's cable cars have been trundling up and
down California and Powell Streets for over a century. The
California Street line went into service in 1877 and the
Powell Street line in 1887. The sewers were in service even
before the cable cars. Available records date back to 1875
although some of the 3' x 5' brick sewers and clay pipe
sewers are probably older.
Sixty -nine blocks of rails and 26,000 feet of new clay pipe
are part of a $58.2 million renovation project. The new
sewers will be installed in a common trench between the car
tracks at a tremendous savings to the city.
"We are specifying clay pipe because of its resistance to
corrosion and erosion on the steep, hills where velocities
can exceed 20 feet per second "
VIEWPOINT: HOW LONG SHOULD SEWER
PIPE LAST ...HOW DOES FOREVER
SOUND? President of a Tennessee Engineering Firm
When one considers gravity sewer pipe, it should be
apparent that it is usually the most expensive pipe utility to
replace or even rehabilitate. With an average burial depth
for gravity lines far exceeding other piping utilities, the cost
of excavation and restoration generally overshadows the
cost of the pipe. Quite naturally, communities are looking
for extended life from sewer systems. A President of a
Tennessee engineering firm stated it this way, "Vitrified
clay pipe does not lose structural strength in time. In fact,
vitrified clay is the one common engineering material
whose properties remain unchanged in time despite
exposure to a wide range of environments. In the absence
of exposure to rare environments you need not worry
about the long term structural integrity of vitrified clay
pipe-"
VIEWPOINT - IT'S TIME AMERICA
NCPI
"All parties need to be aware of the capabilities, the
differences and the limitations of the type of pipe selected
for a particular project. A flexible pipe cannot be expected
to perform satisfactorily in a bedding system intended for
rigid pipe. Nor should money be unnecessarily wasted
installing a rigid pipe in a costly bedding system
designed for flexible pipe.
Today, perhaps more than at any other time in our
nation's history, product and installation choices must be
made on the basis of sound engineering judgment and
proper cost effective analysis. We must choose value over
cost and longevity over convenience because we may not
have an opportunity to make these choices again."
DATE LINE. SANTA CRUZ, CA
Randy Bullock, Wastewater Mains Supervisor
On May 24, 1895, the Common Council authorized the city
attorney to prepare a Resolution of Intentions to install a
sewer on Laurel Street. The main consisted of 6 -inch
vitrified clay pipe made in two foot lengths. The joints were
sealed with cement mortar and the pipe installed in 5 to 6
feet deep hand dug trenches. What is the condition of the
pipe today? Randy Bullock states, "the pipe line is in like -
new condition and there is no reason it should not serve
for another 100 years." Randy estimates that the cost of
that sewer has been about 3 cents /foot /year, a truly
remarkable return on the investment by the city fathers.
"Why reinvent the wheel. We know what clay pipe can
do. With the improvements to the pipe and joints over the
years and the better bedding systems, we know we are
getting what we want from a sewer pipe materiaL Why
should we venture into unknown territory? With other
pipe materials, you can have both short and long term
problems. It doesn't make sense to take the risk."
CLAY PIPE PAYS OFF IN THE ICE CREAM
CAPITAL OF THE WORLD
Scott Langel, La Mars City Engineer-
What Wells Dairy and Le Mars, Iowa have in common is
their reliance on clay pipe to carry wastes. Scott Langel, Le
Mars City Engineer states, "discharge from the Wells Blue
Bunny plant typically leaves a coating, referred to as
milkstone deposit, on the inside of the sewer pipe wall
This coating is very hard and requires a cutter blade
cleaner to remove it. VCP is very abrasion resistant and
tolerates this type of aggressive cleaner very well."
Scott goes on to say, "All public sewer mains in the city
are VCP including an 8" main which runs directly under
the courthouse. Both the courthouse, built in 1901, and
the sewer main, built prior to the turn of the century, are
still servicing the city today. The city uses VCP because it
provides the best value for public funds."

DATE: March 25, 2001
SUBJECT: ORDINANCE ENFORCEMENT SUMMARY REPORT
This report covers a five (5) week period beginning February 19,
2001 and ending March 25, 2001. More than forty (40) courtesy
flyers were distributed to residents.. Scavenger patrol and area
monitoring was continued in all areas of the District with any
complaints received this period fully investigated by enforcement
officer. The exempt list generated for those multifamily residents
not subject to any changes in curbside collection was used to
distribute appropriate flyers for their information.
Week No. 1 ending February 25, 2001: Scavenger patrol this week
and area monitoring was conducted only during the first
few days due to heavy rains later in the week. Flyers
for distribution to exempt properties (91) and their
units (524) were printed and ready for delivery start-
ing next week.
Week No. 2 ending March 4, 2001: Again, heavy rains this week
• delayed some area monitoring until the latter part of
the week. Also these rains played havoc with trash
collection of bags and-boxes usually out at the curb.
Standardized containers will probably improve trash
collection during inclement weather.
Week No. 3 ending March 11, 2001: This week was used primarily
to deliver exempt flyers to those listed addresses.
Accumulated complaints from the last rainy weeks
were investigated with results reported to Staff.
Week No. 4 ending March 18, 2001: Complete area monitoring and
and scavenger patrol was continued throughout.the
District while distributing remaining flyers to those
specific exempt multifamily dwellings. Any remaining
and new complaints were checked and completed.
Week No. 5 ending March 25, 2001: With the exempt multifamily
list nearly complete with flyer distribution, a new
study was initiated. This study involves a survey of
local stores to determine what, if any, grease control
products are available for use. Specifics of these
products including name, content, size, claims and
price will all be tabulated.

Per the original Rauch Communication Consultants proposal, the District
received the straight transcription of the notes for the Strategic Planning
sessions. If the Board desires a written summary, the cost would be an
estimated $500.00.

Robin B. Hamers
Manager/District Engineer
Costa Mesa Sanitary District
234 East 17U' Street
Costa Mesa, CA 92627
Dear Rob:
Thank you for your phone call and request for two related proposals: one to provide
facilitation services for developing a strategic plan for Costa Mesa Sanitary District,
and the other to conduct a workshop that clarifies the roles and relationship of the-
Board and the General Manager. We are pleased to respond to your request.
Introduction
Rauch Communication Consultants has been assisting special districts statewide for
over 25 years. Our consulting work focuses on several areas: conducting strategic
planning workshops, implementing public outreach and information programs, and
management consulting. We count over 150 special districts among our clients, with
the great majority being water or wastewater agencies.
1. The Strategic Planning Workshop
At present, we conduct more than 40 planning workshops each year for districts
throughout California, working closely with the Board of Directors and senior
management. The outcome is typically a plan with clearly defined short and long-
term goals, and a genuine action plan for achieving the goals.
What We Propose to Do
We begin by requesting that any readily available materials on the District be sent to
us for review — for example, the budget, major engineering reports, history of the
district, brochures, planning documents, and so forth. This provides a good
background for the next step, which is to hold one -on -one interviews with each
Board member and the general manager.
One -on -One Interviews. A series of in -depth and confidential interviews are set up,
lasting about one hour each, usually on the day prior to the workshop. Such personal '
interviews help the consultant develop a clear picture of the issues as perceived by
the principal participants, and permit him to conduct and more informed and
meaningful workshop.
Board Workshop. ,This is followed by the workshop day itself. The minimum
attendees would be the entire Board of Directors and the manager. If desired, it could
also include members of the senior staff, legal counsel, or selected consultants.

During the workshop, we begin by drawing up a list of all the key issues that
confront the District today as well as in the foreseeable future. From this list the
group jointly selects the highest priority issues, and then addresses each one of them,
establishing goals and specific actions. In short, what emerges is a real action plan,
with planned activities, responsibilities and even a rough schedule. It is a very
illuminating, exciting and focused experience.
All this is written down by the consultant during the workshop in the form of a set of
flip chart notes. These are helpful for reviewing our progress as we go along as well
as summarizing at the end of the session. The notes can be typed up verbatim and
used later as an accurate record of what was discussed and decided at the workshop.
Sometimes a single day does not suffice to cover all the issues. In that case, the
Board may wish to continue on another day, either on its own or with the assistance
of the consultant, at the discretion of the Board.
2. Board - Manager Relations Workshop
The relationship between Board and manager is crucial to the success of a district — a
strong and positive relationship leads to successful outcomes and a tranquil
environment, while a negative, distrustful relationship tends to undermine morale,
disrupt activity and ultimately defeat progress.
What We Propose To Do
Rauch Communications Consultants has developed a one -day workshop that begins
by exploring this relationship in general terms. During the first part of the workshop,
the consultant describes the classic roles of the Board and the manager as they exist
in principle. These are familiar but there is value in restating them.
The discussion then moves to a description of the problems that arise when real
people fill the classic roles; obviously, problems can and do arise. The consultant
reviews the most common types of problems and suggests proven ways to address
and resolve the problems.
Finally, the discussion moves to the specific relationship between Board and
manager at your district. It focuses on clearly defining the boundary between policy
and operations, with the Board and the manager discussing specifically how the
Board and the manager should interrelate under various circumstances. This is
recorded on flip chart sheets, and, at the pleasure of the Board, can be adopted as a
resolution that defines the responsibilities and authority of the general manager.
At the request of the Board, we can close with a discussion of a helpful method of
carrying out the performance evaluation of the general manager.
Cost
The fee for the short and long term planning workshop includes a review of existing
background materials, a day of confidential interviews, development of a plan for the
workshop, and conduct of a full workshop day. The fee is $3,750 plus actual travel
expense.
The fee for the one -day workshop on the responsibilities and authority of the general
manager is $1,900 plus actual travel expense. The prior interviews for the planning
workshop would provide a natural preparation for this workshop.
3. Public Information Programs
It also often happens that a planning workshop leads to the recognition that an
effective public outreach and information program is called for. Our firm has an
office devoted solely to such programs. We provide public outreach services to
special district clients, preparing newsletters, bulletins, brochures, public meetings,
press relations, tours, as well as assisting our clients to develop public information
strategies -to address particular situations. Each program is tailored carefully to the
specific needs of the client.
Because of our extensive background in water and wastewater issues, we believe we
bring an extra dimension of knowledge and expertise to benefit our clients.
Qualified Consultant
Bob Rauch is an experienced and skilled facilitator and management consultant, with
over 25 years experience working with Boards and special districts. He is also
widely known as a speaker and consultant for special district organizations such as
CASA, ACWA and CSDA, speaking on strategic planning, public outreach, and
board- manager relations. A packet of information is enclosed which provides
additional information about our firm and clients.
We look forward eagerly to having the opportunity of working with the District on
any of these important matters. Thank you again for inviting this proposal.
Sincerely,

BOARD OF DIRECTORS WORKSHOP
WHY US?
The Board of Directors Workshop/Retreat is an intensive management meeting designed to
focus the Board's attention on strategic issues facing the organization, develop priorities and
an action plan, and to improve communications between the Board and senior management.
Rauch Communication Consultants has conducted Board workshops for many year.., and
throughout the state. Currently, we conduct about 50 workshops each year for Boards of every
type and size.
REQUIREMENT
In the course of its regularly scheduled meetings, the Board of Directors is exposed to literally
hundreds of agenda items over the course of a year. The same is true of senior management.
With so much detailed information, Board members and managers can easily become
preoccupied with the day - to-day operational "trees" and lose sight of the "forest."
The objective of the Board Workshop /Retreat is to restore the Board's perspective on the
overall direction they are providing to the enterprise, and to focus on the major issues it must
confront. A secondary vital objective is to clarify the job of the Director, increase
communication among the Board members, and improve the relationship between the Board
and the Staff.
STRUCTURE
Typically, the Board Workshop /Retreat lasts one to two days, and can be held either on a
weekend or business day. Attendees include the board of Directors, supported by the General
Manager and sometimes the legal counsel who serve as key resource persons. The consultant
serves as facilitator and to some extent as trainer.
The Workshop is usually held off site, at a convenient hotel or conference room where the
Board can meet quietly, privately and without distraction. Luxury surroundings are not required,
but a comfortable, pleasant environment is helpful. The boardroom, of course, is also an
acceptable, site.
The agenda is developed based on a prior day of one -on -one interviews held between the
consultant and the Board members and senior managers prior to the Workshop. Discussions
are confidential and candid, taking in a wide range of issues. Based on these discussions, the
agenda is developed.
OUAIARC.000
RAUCH COMMUNICATION CONSULTANTS uses a flip chart method of recording issues,
comments and actions during the workshop. The charts are mounted on the walls to help the
participants track the development of their thinking, aid in summarizing the discussion; typed
up, they also serve as an accurate record for future use. The requirements of the Brown Act
are carefully observed during workshops for public agencies.
There are two parts to the Workshop. The first focuses on developing a list of general issues
confronting the enterprise, both large and small, and then prioritizing this list to focus on these
issues of greatest importance. This creates a "Board agenda" of critical issues which must be
addressed.
The second part of the workshop focuses on developing specific actions to address the issues
in the form of an annual Action Plan; establishing Board priorities for the guidance of the
General manger; resolving particular issues of concern; and so on. This part of the Workshop
provides a written, specific course of action to be followed, with actual schedules and
responsibilities.
The use of a facilitator and consultant tends to improve the quality of the discussion, the speed
with which important issues can be addressed, and the comfort of the participants.
RESULTS
Board Workshops have many valuable outcomes:
• Defines the key issues facing the organization.
• Clarifies the organizations' objectives and goals.
• Identifies the need for specific near and long -term actions.
• Improves relationships and communications among Board members, and between
Board and Staff.
• Provides the basis for strategic planning.
• Clarifies the job of the Board member vs. the role of the Staff.
• Allows the board ample time to examine important issues.
• Focuses the board's relationship to the public.
RAUCH COMMUNICATION CONSULTANTS provides planning, guidance and on -site support
and facilitation to make Board Workshop /Retreats effective and successful.

PUBLIC OUTREACH PROGRAMS
WHY US?
Many firms can provide the mechanics of graphic design, layout, printing coordination, and
preparation of audiovisual materials. What distinguishes our firm is that our sole focus and
expertise is in meeting the public information needs of local government. We not only provide
the necessary expert support, but also provide the guidance needed to choose just the right
communication medium and content to meet your needs.
The Community OutreachRublic Information Program is the organized framework whereby a
local government communicates with the community and the customers it serves. In other
words, it is the "public relations" program.
REQUIREMENT
A local government is created to serve its community through specific services. Issues that
arise in the minds of the voters, taxpayers and customers of the agency often include:
• How well is the agency accomplishing this mission?
• How economically is it using the resources we are providing?
• Are our long -term, as well as our immediate needs being met?
• In short, how well are we, the public, being served?
Agencies must answer these questions in order to be responsible to their voters and
consumers.
The Community Outreach/Public Information Program identifies the key publics served by the
agency, selects the communications resources available, and establishes a program for
providing appropriate information to the public. At the very least, it must be enough for the
voting public to determine how well their local government is performing, and to understand
what the important issues facing that government are.
STRUCTURE
To begin with, a study is performed of the commun,:ations situation of the community and the
agency. It defines who the key publics of the agency are, the issues that should be
communicated to them, the best media and methods, and the anticipated costs.
Based on these factors, a Public Information Plan is produced. A board, council or project
committee is usually formed to provide guidance, establish responsibilities for carving out the
plan, and implement the plan. Public information thus becomes another vital agency or
project function.
0 UACAR COOC
RAUCH COMMUNICATION CONSULTANTS has wide experience in developing the media by
which a District communicates. It assists districts in planning and publishing newsletters and
brochures, preparing public talks and public meetings, improving press relations, developing
open houses and tours, and preparing videos and other media. It can also assist in the
conduct of citizen's advisory committees and public surveys.
Full planning, research, writing, graphics, printing and mailing services are provided. A
complete turnkey operation can be provided whereby the agency identifies what it needs and
wants, and all preparation and production services from concept to mailing are provided.
RESULTS
The Community Relationsfublic Outreach Program develops strong bonds between the
agency and its community. As critical needs arise, the public is kept well informed and
responsive to the need for actions such as:
® Public approval of a bond issue or financing action.
• Understanding and acceptance of the need for a rate or cost increase.
• Positive response to the need for a change in their behaviors; for example, water
conservation.
• Support for the agency's survival, such as its continued independence in the face of
a takeover attempt.
• General understanding and support for the District's activities, programs, and
services.
RAUCH COMMUNICATION CONSULTANTS assists the Board and management to plan,
develop and implement an effective, supportive Community Outreach/Public Information
program.

MANAGEMENT CONSULTING
WHY US?
Management Consulting presents as many facets and aspects as there are problems in
managing an organization. It is a general area whose primary focus is on resolving issues that
have arisen within the people and organization of the agency, and for which successful
solutions have not been found. Rauch Communication Consultants has over 30 years
experience helping management teams solve hard to handle situations.
REQUIREMENT
From time to time, stressful and unresolved "people" and operational issues arise within an
organization:
• The management group must learn to work together as a team.
• The departure of the general manager creates the opportunity to restructure the
organization
• A problem employee is disrupting the organization
• Personality clashes develop between a manager and a key employee, or between a
Board member and the manager.
• Performance of the whole organization is below par, and needs revitalizing
• Internal conflicts result in strife and emotional situations.
These are but a few of the virtually infinite variety of issues which arise to challenge the
effective management of an agency.
Ordinary management actions to date may not have succeeded in resolving the problem. The
Board and the manager may be too close to the situation to confront it objectively; often,
personalities and extraneous historical situations confuse the situation. It is important to get
such management obstacles dealt with.
STRUCTURE
RAUCH COMMUNICATION CONSULTANTS helps by providing an objective response to the
situation. Beginning with an exploratory interview or series of meetings, an assessment of the
situation is developed, and then a specific action plan is developed to address the issue
In the action plan, step by step activities are scheduled and implemented — perhaps a series of
meetings with the affected individuals, first separately and then together. Perhaps some
additional training for the management team is called for, or a workshop or series of
workshops for management or employee groups. Perhaps a session between the Board and
the General Manager to clarify responsibilities and authority.
OUAIARC OOC
t �
In short, the role of RAUCH COMMUNICATION CONSULTANTS is to provide an objective,
experienced viewpoint, coupled with the ability to rebuild and restore team processes, and
achieve consensus solutions. Here the emphasis is not only on planning, but actual
implementation of change.
RESULTS
Management Consulting can help the agency:
• Resolve difficult, unresolved personnel issues
• Clarify the manager's responsibility and authority versus the Board's
• Restructure an organization for greater effectiveness
• Achieve consensus and unity around goal achievement
• Help the management remove counterproductive situations and people
• Build a management team and teamwork
® Achieve needed redirection and change.
RAUCH COMMUNICATION CONSULTANTS has the background and experience to assist
organizations to deal with hard to manage situations, and to build effective management teams
that can deal with change and effectively cant' out the organizations' mission.

Manager /District Engineer
Costa Mesa Sanitary District
234 East 17`h Street
Costa Mesa, CA 92627
Dear Rob:
Thanks for your recent telephone call indicating the District's continuing interest in
working together on a strategic planning workshop as well as a special workshop on
the roles and relationship of the Board and the General Manager. You requested
clarification of a few points related to my proposal letter of April 27, 2000. Let me
respond to your questions.
1. Who Will Facilitate the Workshops? Bob Rauch will personally facilitate both
workshops.
2. What Will Be the Output of the Workshops? The most common output of Board
workshops is a set of notes transcribed verbatim from the flip charts prepared
during the workshop.
With respect to the strategic planning workshop, the consultant records on flip
charts ample notes that reflect not only the issues raised during the discussions,
but the specific Action Plan that results. In other words, a quite detailed outline
of the meeting is captured on the flip charts, including action items. The majority
of my clients simply utilize a typewritten version of these notes as the output of
the meeting. This approach has turned out to be acceptable and practical.
Alternatively, the consultant can prepare a written summary of the meeting based
on the above notes. This has the advantage of being more smoothly written and
more easily read than the raw notes, but contains essentially the same
information. Some clients prefer this approach.
With respect to the special workshop on the roles and responsibilities of the
Board and the manager, the consultant also prepares detailed notes as the
workshop unfolds. The latter part of the workshop is devoted to clarifying a
number of areas where the specific boundary between the Board's and the
manager's responsibility at your District may not be quite clear. Again, the
majority of my clients are content with a straightforward typewritten version of
these detailed flip chart notes.

Alternatively, the consultant can prepare a more orderly version of the notes in a
written summary, as above.
There is no additional cost for simply transcribing the notes. Preparing written
summaries for the two workshops would cost an estimated $500 additional for
each.
3. What Is the Estimated Travel Expense? Travel to the District would be by
personal car from Santa Barbara, at the standard cost of $35 per mile. Two
rights of lodging in a local hotel or motel, assuming back -to -back workshops,
and some incidental expenses, make for an estimated total travel expense of
about $375 for both days.
I hope this provides the information you require. When it is convenient, we should
discuss possible dates for the workshops. If you desire more information, please do
not hesitate to request it.
Thanks again for the inquiry. I look forward eagerly to working with everyone on
this project.
Sincerely,
Robert A. Rauch

SUBJECT: THE ROLE OF RESERVES IN SOLID WASTE FUND (594)
FOR BOARD MEETING OF MARCH 8, 2001
INFORMATION REQUEST
You had requested information related to the role of "reserves" in the Sold Waste budget.
BACKGROUND
In fund accounting, there are two terms that are used to indicate restriction of fund balances or fund
equity. The two terms, reserves and designations, have slightly different meanings.
The term "reserve" should be limited to indicating that a portion of fund equity is not appropriable for
expenditure or is legally segregated for a specific future use. Fund equity "designations" may be
established to indicate tentative plans for financial resource utilization in a future period, such as for
equipment replacement.
During the budget deliberations for FY01; several financial policies were proposed and adopted by the
Board. Among those policies proposed was a policy to set the Operating Reserve for the Solid Waste
Fund at a minimum of 25% of the operating budget. This policy was not approved pending the
completion of the strategic planning process recently undertaken.
ANALYSIS
While there is no accounting standard that promulgates what an appropriate level of operating reserves
should be, there is an accepted "rule of thumb" that is generally applied when setting the level of
reserves. This accepted practice is that a minimum of "three months worth of operating expenditures"
(25% of budgeted appropriations) should be maintained in an operating reserve or budget stabilization
fund for the purpose of funding budgetary shortfalls or unknown, unforeseen and unbudgeted
occurrences.
s
Since the trash collection is done on a contractual basis, this reserve provides assurances to the Board
and intended service recipients that there will not be sudden increases in rates due to changes in landfill
costs, collection and recycling costs or failure to perform on the part of the contractor. Other examples
of the potential uses of the operating reserve might include unforeseen revenue shortfalls a& a result of
incidents such as the Orange County bankruptcy or the County's failure to distribute tax collections on a
timely basis.
An operating reserve provides a needed "cushion" to the District's budget to allow for a managed
transition should any unforeseen circumstance need to be addressed. Based upon the current budget, a
reserve equivalent to 25% of budgeted appropriations in the Solid Waste Fund would amount to
approximately $1,001,068. After funding the operating reserve at this level, $1,522,731 would be
available to fund the purchase of standardized trash containers.
If you have questions or need additional information, feel free to contact me directly.

DATE: MARCH 7, 2001
SUBJECT: FINANCIAL PICTURE OF EXISTING SOLID WASTE PROGRAM
FOR BOARD MEETING OF MARCH 8, 2001
INFORMATION REQUEST
You had requested information related to the financial picture of the existing Solid Waste Fund (594) as
of February 28`h and some projection of revenue and expenses through the fiscal year end.
BACKGROUND
During 1999, discussion occurred regarding the level of reserves in the Sanitary District's General Fund
and the possible use of these reserves for the purchase of standardized trash containers.
As a result of these discussions, the Treasurer prepared an analysis of the General Fund activities for the
prior twenty years. This analysis segregated solid and liquid waste expenditures for each year and
restated General Fund reserves to present each activities proportional interest in the reserve balances.
Subsequent to the presentation of this information to the Board, an analysis was presented to the Board
by a Board member which arrived at a different conclusion relating to the solid and liquid waste
activities proportional interest in General Fund reserve balances.
The Board ultimately decided to engage Reiter -Lowry and Associates to conduct an independent review
of the analysis and make recommendations based thereon. This analysis was presented to the Board in
November of 1999.
After receiving the recommendations from Reiter -Lowry, the Board decided to segregate unrestricted
unreserved fund balance in the General Fund by allocating 50% to a new Solid Waste Fund and 50% to a
new Liquid Waste Fund. Funds set aside within prior years' budgets and restricted for the Sewer
reconstruction and/or replacement projects were transferred to the Liquid Waste Fund.
These changes in accounting methodology became effective as of June 30, 2000. In addition, future
allocation of investment earnings will be based upon average cash and investment balances within each
separate fund rather than a 68% trash, 32% sewer, split for rate development purposes as done in '
previous years.
ANALYSIS
In the analysis provided to you in 1999, I had expressed concerns as to whether or not the solid waste
activities were self - sustaining. In fact, based upon the historical analysis I had provided to you it
appeared that the solid waste activities were not self - sustaining and that future rate increases would be
necessary to offset expected shortfalls.
These concerns were echoed in the Reiter -Lowry report presented by Greg Lowry. In this report Mr.
Lowry observed that trash expenditures did not occur constantly throughout the year, that interest
allocations should be based upon "net revenues" (average cash and investment balances), and that timing
differences existed between the fiscal period in which taxes were levied for trash assessments and the
fiscal period in which those assessments were collected.
Fiscal year 2001 will be the first full year of segregated solid and liquid waste operations. To date, the
revenue collections and expenditures for the solid waste activities are at the levels expected through
February 28 based upon historical trend analysis.
For the first seven months of FY01, expenditures exceeded revenues within the trash operations. This
revenue collection / expenditure pattern is following historical patterns based upon the cash flow
modeling I developed and included in the Treasurer's Report. A copy of the Treasurer's report for the
month of February is available for your review in your agenda packet for your February Board meeting.
As of February 281h, total revenue collections in the Solid Waste Fund exceeded expenditures for the
first time during this fiscal year. This spike in revenue collections is a result of the receipt of tax and
assessment revenues during the month of February. These collections are consistent with the historical
cash flow modeling included in the Treasurer's Report. If this pattern of activity continues, it would be
expected that total revenues would exceed total expenditures through April and then total expenditures
would exceed total revenues for the final two months of the fiscal year.
Due to the separation of the solid and liquid waste activities in to two separate funds, the investment
earnings allocation method changed. In prior years, investment earnings were allocated between the two
activities within the General Fund for rate development purposes. 68% of investment earnings were
allocated to trash activities and 32% were allocated to sewer activities. As of July 1, 2000, investment
earnings are now allocated each month based upon the average cash balances in each fund. As a result,
the Solid Waste Fund now receives approximately 26% of total investment earnings. Therefore, based
upon the adopted budget, it is estimated that there will be a budget to actual shortfall of approximately
$80,000 in investment earnings in the Solid Waste Fund.
Solid waste tax assessment collections are proceeding in accordance with historical revenue collection
patterns. Through February 28, $2.17 million or 58% of trash assessments have been collected. If the
timing differences related to collection of solid waste tax assessments that have occurred historically
occur again this fiscal year, the Solid Waste Fund may incur an operating deficit as of fiscal year end.
z
2
Expenditures are occurring in line with budgeted appropriation levels. Expenditures paid to our trash
hauler of $1.18 million represent 58% of budgeted appropriations. Also, expenditures paid for recycling
and disposal of $831 thousand represent about 50% of appropriations budgeted for these purposes.
Overall, total operating expenditures through February 28 amount to $2.17 million or 54% of the total
budgeted operating appropriations. This level of spending would be about $497 thousand under
projected spending levels in the budget if all expenditures occurred evenly throughout the fiscal year.
As mentioned previously, FY01 will be the first full year of experience utilizing segregated funds for
solid and liquid waste activities. Estimates included herein are based upon historical trends and activity
for the first eight months of this fiscal year. Based upon this data, it is currently anticipated that there
will be a Solid Waste Fund deficit of approximately $60,000 to $100,000 as of the fiscal year end.
This operating deficit is expected to result primarily from the timing differences naturally occurring
within the tax collection process and the decreased investment earnings attributable to actual cash
balances within the Solid Waste Fund. These unfavorable variances may ultimately be partially or fully
offset by favorable variances within the budgeted appropriations.
Also, if it is ultimately decided to purchase trash containers from existing reserves, future investment
earnings would be reduced which may contribute to the projected deficit at fiscal year end. An
expenditure of $1.5 million of existing reserves would reduce investment earnings by approximately
$85,000 over the course of the next year.
If you have questions or need additional information, feel free to contact me directly.

COPY TO: ROB HAMERS, DISTRICT MANAGER
DISTRICT STAFF
DATE: MARCH 7, 2001
SUBJECT: PURCHASE OPTIONS FOR STANDARDIZED CONTAINERS AND BUDGET
IMPACT
FOR BOARD MEETING OF MARCH 8, 2001
INFORMATION REQUEST
You had requested information related to options available for the purchase of standardized trash
containers and comments on the effect that these options would have on the District's Solid Waste
budget.
BACKGROUND
During 1999, discussion occurred regarding the level of reserves in the Sanitary District's General Fund
and the possible use of these reserves for the purchase of standardized trash containers.
Request for Proposals were solicited. Standardized containers or "carts" were examined and tested from
ten of the respondents to the RFQ. Surveys were completed of other communities experiences related to
implementing, managing and operating similar programs. Based upon these efforts, recommendations
were presented to the Board to purchase standardized containers from one of three vendors. Cost
estimates for the purchase of containers from these three vendors varied from a low of $1,574,430.50 to
a high of $1,926,343.70.
It was requested by the Board to consider alternatives for the purchase of standardized containers
including financing the purchase.
ANALYSIS
There are literally thousands of permeations that could be considered in looking at financing alternatives.
Usually, the debt structure is developed after the decision to purchase the equipment has been made.
However, the decision to either purchase outright or finance the purchase is generally riade concurrently
with the purchase decision. Listed herein is a short analysis of some of the financing alternatives and +'
issues that you may wish to consider when making the decision to either purchase the containers outright
or to finance the purchase over some period to be determined.
Outlined below are some of the financing options that have been reviewed and considered.
1) Purchase the Containers Outright for cash. Cash payments would be made directly to the
vendor as containers are delivered to the District subject to a standard retention level (most likely
10 %) to be distributed upon successful completion of implementation of the program.
2) Finance the Purchase of the Containers over 5 years. Assuming a level debt payment
structure and a purchase price of approximately $1.75 million, total debt payments each year
would amount to approximately $384,595.
3) Finance the Purchase of the Containers over 7 years. Assuming a level debt payment
structure and a purchase price of approximately $1.75 million, total debt payments each year
would amount to approximately $299,127.
4) Finance the Purchase of the Containers over 10 years. Assuming a level debt payment
structure and a purchase price of approximately $1.75 million, total debt payments each year
would amount to approximately $231,031.
Each of the levels of debt service payments noted is based upon the "mid- point" purchase level within
the range of proposals remaining under consideration from the three recommended vendors. A one -page
summary of debt service payments based upon the various terms comparing level debt service payments
versus level (equal) principal payments is attached (attachment 1). Also, debt service schedules notating
the "net" debt service payments, annual debt service payments and sources and use statements are
attached (attachment 2).
These schedules do not consider available alternatives such as partial financing of the purchase,
capitalization of principal or interest payments to defer debt payments or unequal maturities within the
debt service structure. Further, current market interest rates for securities issued with five to ten year
durations have dropped approximately fifteen basis points to around 4.5% since these schedules were
run.
The costs of financing would ultimately be determined at the point in time the debt was issued. It is
expected that interest rates will continue to fall in the near term with a drop of between 50 -75 basis
points (.50 -.75 %) expected at the next meeting of the Federal Open Markets Committee on March 20.
Thus, it is expected that the ultimate cost of financing the purchase of the containers would be at levels
lower than those noted here.
If the trash containers were purchased outright from existing reserves, future investment earnings would
be reduced. Such a decision to purchase containers outright might then have the effect of contributing to
or creating an operating deficit within the Solid Waste Fund. An expenditure of $1.5 million of existing
reserves would reduce investment earnings by approximately $85,000 over the course of the next year.
Further, purchasing the containers outright would not allow the District to take advantage of the
beneficial effects of arbitrage created by financing the purchase. This opportunity is created by the
District's ability to issue debt on a tax - exempt basis as a small issuer (an issuer that issues or expects to
issue less than $10 million in debt during the calendar year) at a rate less than the District's reinvestment
rate (the rate of interest earned on the District's investment portfolio). As a small issuer, financing
institutions that place the Districts' debt issuance are able_ to take advantage of tax credit_ s offered
pursuant to the tax code for public agencies and non - profits.
Issuing debt to finance the purchase of the containers would provide the District with a stop -gap measure
to address any potential operating deficits in the Solid Waste Fund occurring subsequent to the
segregation of the solid and liquid waste activities. This financing would allow staff to better gauge
whether or not the Solid Waste Fund is self - sustaining by creation of a record of operating performance
for the fund through the passage of time. Further, debt issuance for the purchase allows the District to
take advantage of the arbitrage opportunity to issue debt a rate lower than the reinvestment rate.
The term of the debt issuance cannot be longer than the expected useful life of the equipment purchased.
As such, a debt issuance with a ten -year final maturity would be about the outside limit to finance this
debt.
RECOMMENDATION
When/if the Board approves the purchase of trash containers,' it is recommended that the District Board
authorize and direct the Treasurer to negotiate financing terms for the purchase of the containers with
such terms subject to final approval by the Board of Directors.
If you have questions or need additional information feel free to contact me directly.

Sanitation District
Facility Acquisition Analysis
Below, we have summarized the estimated annual cost of financing the acquisition of certain
containers for the Sanitation District (the "District "). In our analysis, we examined the impact of
raising capital sufficient to meet various estimated project costs. We have assumed that the City
will issue tax = exempt Certificates of Participation ( "COPs ") on behalf of the District in exchange
for the right to receive annual lease payments sufficient to pay all interest and principal due on
such obligation. Additionally, we have assumed that total costs of issuance will be equal to
approximately $105 thousand and that prevailing municipal market rates will not change
significantly prior to issuance. The matrix below provides the average annual net debt service
payments required to raise various amounts of capital over a five, seven, and ten year term.

The above figures reflect level debt service payments to be made over the term of the issue. In
the table below we have also evaluated the average annual net debt service payments required to
finance the same amounts as above, but have assumed equal principal payments over the term of
the issue.

As indicated in the above table, average annual debt service payments are nearly identical to the
level debt service scenarios. Please note, however, that actual yearly payments gradually
decrease over the term in these scenarios.
Lastly, we have also evaluated the benefit of issuing tax - exempt bonds versus entering a
municipal lease and have concluded that from a savings perspective, the City is better off
entering a municipal lease as opposed to a public offering in the event that the final maturity is
less than 7 years.
