With a 58.16% increase in white goods tonnage over last year, the amount increased
for the sixth year in a row. The District's continued commitment to anti- scavenging
enforcement may have an impact on the collected tonnage. Despite the higher white
goods tonnage, the total program cost ran almost the same as last year due to the
lower salvage value of white goods.
Ms. Revak stressed how popular this program is with residents serviced by the District
and generates many inquires to office staff, imposing a heavy additional workload. Mr.
is Hamers recommended the District budget for temporary personnel to assist office staff
with the increased volume of calls generated by this program
Tire Recycling Event
Mr. Flamers advised the Committee that staff is planning the Used Tire Round -Up. The
event is being coordinated with the Orange County Conservation Corps and will be

Costa Mesa Chamber of Commerce "2000- 2001" Map
Ms. Schmeisser reported on a meeting held with a Costa Mesa Chamber of Commerce
representative with regard to the "Costa Mesa City Map" produced by the Chamber.
The map, last produced in 1997, includes advertising from Chamber members. Cost
for a double vertical (double business card, 6 -3/4" X 1 -7/8 ") would be $950 and the
District could promote the many services offered, including HHW pickup, Large Item
Pick Up, Christmas Tree recycling, telephone book and auto tire recycling, Sharps
program and sewerage maintenance/emergency management. The production run of
15,000 maps equates to less than $.07 per map advertising cost for a double vertical
ad. The Committee will present the information to the Board of Directors at the next
regular meeting and recommend the District approve the expenditure.
The meeting was adjourned at 11:02 a.m.
