For the month of December , the CMS D Code Enforcement Officer focus ed his efforts on patrols in various parts of the community . The goal was identify and deter in stances of scavenging and residential trash carts left within the public view . I n the month of December we saw a reduced number of complaints filed with CMSD Code Enforcement staff regarding scavenging activity in the city. As with most scavenging complaints, the alleged violations take place in the early morning hours. In order to address resident concerns, t he Code Enforcement Officer investigate d all complaints and adjusted his sche dule to accommodate request s for early morning or weekend enforcement. Included below are instances of scavenging that were detected while the Officer was investigating specific complaints. Proactive Scavenging Investigations: 2965 Babb Street - While on patrol in the 2900 block of Bab Street, Officer Roberts observed a male subject, who later identified himself as Gonsalo Diaz, pushing a shopping cart loaded with recyclable material. Officer Roberts observed Gonsalo removing items from a CMSD trash cart located in front of 2965 Babb Street and based on the observed viola tion, Officer Roberts contacted Gonsalo to investigate further. During the course of the contact, Gonsalo admitted that he had been regularly removing recyclable material from CMSD carts and does it to support himself. Officer Roberts explain to Gonsalo th at CMSD ordinances prohibit scavenging and activity of that nature would result in citation. Officer Roberts explained to Gonsalo that he must return all recyclable material obtained from CMSD carts. Board of Directors January 13, 2015 Page 2 of 4 Gonsalo stated that he understood and returned all recy clable material obtained from CMSD carts to a nearby cart in Officer Roberts’ presence. Gonsalo was sent on his way with no further incident. 179 Buoy Street –Officer Roberts observed a lone transient walking through the residential street and noted that he had numerous empty wine bottles on his person. Officer Roberts did not observe the male scavenging; however formed the opinion that the subject may have violated CMSD ordinances by being in possession of the empty wine bottles and that numerous CMSD car ts were in the vicinity. Officer Roberts contacted the male and advised him that scavenging activity is prohibited. The male subject appeared to be inebriated. Due to the presence of children in the vicinity, Officer Roberts quietly asked the subject to dispose of the wine bottles and asked him to leave the area to insure no further scavenging. 829 Governor Street -While conducting routine patrol, Officer Roberts observed a female, who was later identified as Alicia Valles riding on a bicycle. Officer Roberts noticed that Alicia had a transparent shopping bag with her that appeared to contain plastic bottles. Officer Roberts followed Alicia and noticed that she came to a stop in front of the residence at 829 Governor Street. While at the residence, Alic ia was observed opening the lid of a CMSD trash cart and rummaged through the interior. Officer Roberts approached Alicia and made contact with her from the driver side window of his CMSD vehicle. Officer Roberts did not exit his vehicle as he did not wan t to contact a female without witness or recording equipment. Officer Roberts advised Alicia that scavenging is a prohibited activity and directed her to return all recyclable material. Alicia stated that she understood and was sent on her way. 2438 Bowdoin Place - As Officer Roberts was patrolling the 2400 block of Bowdoin Place, he observed a female subject rummaging through a CMSD cart that was placed in front of the above listed location. Officer Roberts contacted the female from his driver side wi ndow and did not exit his CMSD vehicle. The female identified herself as Carry Summers verbally. Officer Roberts directed Carry to replace any items she had removed from CMSD carts and leave the area. Carry was advised that she would be subject to citatio n if seen scavenging though CMSD carts. Carry stated that she understood and was sent on her way. 644 Ross Street - Officer Roberts observed a female, who was later identified herself as Susanna Murilla pushing a shopping cart on the residential street an d noted that it had a spiked pole stored within. Officer Roberts noticed that Susanna also had a numerous transparent shopping bags that appeared to contain a large amount of recyclable material. Officer Roberts followed Susanna and noticed that she came t o a stop in front of the residence at 644 Ross Street. While at the residence, Susanna was Board of Directors January 13, 2015 Page 3 of 4 observed opening the lid of a CMSD trash cart and removing recyclables from within the interior. Officer Roberts contacted Susanna and advised her that scavenging i s a prohibited activity. Due to the large amount of recyclables, Officer Roberts advised her that she was subject to citation if seen rummaging through CMSD carts. Susanna was directed to return all recyclable material to nearby carts. Once Officer Roberts verified all the recyclable material had been returned to CMSD carts, Susanna was sent on her way. 645 Wilson Street -Officer Roberts contacted an individual who identified himself verbally as Beto Jimenez on the sidewalk in front of the residence. Offic er Roberts noted that Beto had a small plastic bag with him and was observed removing recyclable material from within a CMSD trash cart. Officer Roberts directed Beto to return to all recyclable material to the trash cart. Beto was advised of policy and sent on his way with a verbal admonishment. 162 E. 18 th Street - While on patrol Officer Roberts observed a male subject rummaging through a CMSD cart. Officer Roberts contacted the male who identified himself as Colin (NFD). Colin did not have any recycl able material in his possession and did not have any identification on his person.

Colin stated that he u nderstood and was sent on his way.

Two of the four SSOs occurred in December 2014. The private property has a small pump station that is causing the SSOs. CMSD staff and its c ontractors have responded to all four SSOs to contain the spill and provide cleanup support. CMSD invoiced the property owner for the services rendered but have not received payment for said services. Staff Recommendation That the Board of Directors have preliminary discussions for taking action against the property owner at 151 Kalmus Drive by sending a Notice of Intention to disconnect for sewer violations. Analysis W ritten correspondence s from District Counsel to property manager Mr. Steve Feistel are attached hereto. District Counsel will be attending the Study Session to present this item to the Board and to answer questions. Mr. Feistel was notified that this subject will be discussed at your study session and he was encourage to attend the me eting. If you want to proceed sending a Notice of Intention, the Board will need to schedule a hearing date and then disseminate the notice to the property owner and to all his tenants, which are approximately 99 . Attached is a draft Notice of Intention. Board of Directors January 13, 2015 Page 2 of 2 Strategic Element & Goal This item will complies with Strategic Element No. 1.0, Sewer Infrastructure , which states: “Objective: Our objective is to collect and transport wastewater to meet the needs of existing and future customers. Strategies: We will do this by the careful management of the collection infrastructure using prudent planning and maintenance, with financial strategies to maintain sufficient capacity and respond to changing regulatory demands.” Legal Review District Counsel has prepared the Notice of Intention along with the correspondences attached hereto. Environmental Review The discussion of ongoing SSOs and consideration of additional actions are of themselves administrative matter s and not a disturbance of the environment similar t o grading or construction and not a project under CEQA or the District’s CEQA Guidelines. The contemplated actions of preventing SSOs from the private pump station are a betterment to the environment. Financial Review The District is seeking paym ent from the property owner in the amount of $3,635.16 for services rendered for the four referenced SSOs. Public Notice Process Copies of this report are on file and will be included with the entire agenda packet for the January 13, 2015 Board of Directors study session meeting at District Headquarters and on the District ’s website.

At that time I inquired whether you wished to contest the clean up sewer spill costs and provided you with the back up information you previously requested. I have not heard from you since although I urged you to request a hearing immediately if you desired a hearing. Otherwise the charges can be collected through the tax bill and would become a lien on the property. Unfortuoately, there was another sewer spill last night. We are gathering the documentation for this spill and our costs. This will be provided so that a second hearing might be requested before the Board. Those proceedings will be kept separate from the .earlier events. We urge you to exercise appropriate vigilance in maintaining your property. Your right to request a hearing should be exercised inunediately if you disagree with the charges incurred in clean up. I have been advised by Leslie of your company that I would be able to reach you if I sent an email to both you and Felicia of your company so I will send my communications via email and U.S. mail to be sure I reach you.

Bums arb@harperburn$.com You have previously been advised that the sewer spills occurring on July 30, 2013 and February 12, 2014 were caused by the failure of your private pump station and how that spill violated federal and state water Jaws. You have been provided with an invoice and opportunity to pay the costs of the Costa Mesa Sanitary District's (''District" or "CMSD") response, but you have not done so, apparently contending that it was your belief that you are only responsible for the payment of JIMNI' s costs in fixing the pump station and/or should have been given the opportunity to self-abate. District staff has referred this matter to me to provide follow up to you so that we may resolve this matter without further delay. Summary of the events • July 30, 2013 -A sewer spill occurs causing a District response costing $2,473.31. (Invoice #87.) • Feb 12, 2014 -A sewer spill occurs causing a District response costing $536:00. (Invoice #86.) Previous Communications, Invoices and Photos of the Spill The package of communications I have been provided with show that original invoices were sent to you, and that there have been various back and forth communications with no resolution since then. To be sure we all have the same documents and to frame the District's substantiation of the charges, the following is submitted as a chronological record of the spills, evidence and those communications: Exhibit L Steve Cano' s contemporaneously recorded notes of the sewer spill on July EXHIBIT 1 Steve Feistel Sewer Spill and Abatement at 151 Kalmus Drive December 9, 2014 Page 2 of3 Exhibit 2. Exhibit 3. Exhibit4. Exhibit 5. Exhibit6. Exhibit 7. The Applicable Law 31, 2013. On the evening of July 31, the District is notified by Mesa Consolidated Water District of the spill and CMSD crew responds. JIMNI is called and OC Health Care agency notified. JIMNI verifies the problem is coming from the pUll1p station which they are familiar with from having provided service to the station. Invoice from JIMNI for service dated July 30, 2013 for $1,112.04 shows "paid" on March 26, 2014. (Apparently by the management company, Accell Property Management, Inc.) Invoice from JIMNI for $1,170 for service dated February 12, 2014 also marked "paid" on March 26, 2014. (Also by Accell Property Management, Inc.) Invoice from CMSD for $2,473.31 dated July 30, 2014 showing all CMSD charges for the spill on July 31, 2013, including charges from CR&R with attached doc\Jll1entation substantiating the charges. Invoice from CMSD for $536.98 for February 12, 2014 spill including internal costs and contract costs for the RBH inspector. Attached are itemized costs for internal costs and the RBH invoice and log of activity. Photos of the February 12, 2014 spill. Letter from Steve Feistel on behalf of Coppertree Business Park, Inc. dated November 6, 2014 advising that no response had been provided to a September 26, 2103 letter submitted and requesting further doc\Jll1entation. The letter alleges that Coppertree was not aware of these spills or any failures and alleges that the District did not contact Coppertree about the spill prior to incurring these charges. In addition to any violations of federal, state or county laws that may have occurred, we direct your attention to the provisions of the Costa Mesa Operations Code which specifically provides for the District's remedies in these circumstances. Specifically Section 6.09.020 which provides, in pertinent part, that "liability" arises to the District for failing to maintain your property or by causing a sewer spill to occur or by another occurrence that causes a District response. It is further provided that the responsible persons are liable for the District's response costs whether by District personnel or District's independent contractors. (Attached.) Furthermore, Chapter 6.10 covers cost recovery for abatement efforts to correct violations related to the sewer system. We are specifically provided the authority to correct violations of the District's ordinances and the cost of those corrections may be collected by adding to the sewer service charge and that said charge may be imposed on the property owner, tenant or persons Harper & Burns I.LP I 453 South Gfasscll Street, Orange, California 92866 I Telephone {714) 77l-7Tft ] Facsimile (714) 744-3350 I www.harpcrbillns.com EXHIBIT 1 Steve Feistel Sewer Spill and Abatement at 151 Kalmus Drive December 9, 2014 Page 3 of3 causing the spill. You have been provided with the backup data justifying the charges and are entitled to a hearing before the Board if you contest the charges. If the charges are confirmed and you do not pay within thirty (30) days, we may then add the cost to tax roll. (See Health & Saf. Code,§ 6523.3.) (Chapter 6.10 attached.) We understand that you contend that we did not contact you before the abatement efforts to allow your company an opportunity to self-abate. The District Operations Code provides that "if possible and consistent with the public health, safety and welfare, the responsible party shall be given an opportunity to abate the property using his/her own forces." That code further provides that the District's Manager and Engineer each have the authority to determine if the situation must be immediately abated. These spills required clean up immediately and JIMNI had been your contractor and was familiar with the system. We assert that the immediate clean up and repair costs were both necessary and very reasonable. Therefore we ask that you pay your bill promptly or, if you contest the charges, request a hearing immediately to provide any evidence of why you are not responsible or how you could have self-abated consistent with the public health, safety and welfare. If you challenge the invoices a hearing will be set within thirty (30) days to provide you with an opportunity to present any evidence of why you should not be responsible. If you fail to request a heariog, these charges may be collected on the tax roll if not paid within thirty (30) days. We hope the above and the attached documents will provide you with the opportunity to make your decision and we look forward to resolving this with you in the near future.

There are two invoices total that have not been paid. I will forward you the other one as well as some other emails to Mr. Steve Feistel, who is the property manager for the Coppertree Business park.

He doesn't get that the spill needs to be cleaned up and Jimni doesn't do that. Please call me with questions. Thank you. 'WenLy Jf.

Subject: FW: 151 Kalmus spill last nith (again) Dec 22 2014 Well, we were called by C&R again last night for another spill for the complex at 151 Kalmus. I know that they are reluctant to pay for the last few spills still. They have been told years ago that the pumps need to be changed here, but they ignored the recommendations from JIMNI years ago. When Brandon arrived, JIMNI was already there and had the station up and running again, again the pumps were tripped. Brandon set out bags at the storm drain and was not spilling when he arrived. The spill was small we are assuming. We did not clean up the area last night, so I am sure it is still there. They have not paid us for our services and maybe we should contact the health agency this morning and have them go out and deal with them also. These pumps NEED to be changed because it will happen again. We will be sending them another bill for Brandon's time there.

At 255 PM I received call from Tami at HQ that she received a call from Kris Rodgers who has a 'Jusiness in the complex calling to say that there is sewage coming from the manhole. I immediately called JIMNI to see if they have been notified yet because they are always returning to th_is location for their pump issues. They were not con~acted yet and said they have to wait to hear from them to get a work order. I also then proceeded to call OCHA so they can witness the spill. I just talked to Malina last week about the spill from this same location.last week and they said to call them as soon as it is occurring so they can do a report. I then left to go to the location and also called Joel to bring the vac truck. I arrived about 320 PM and did see that a small trickle was coming from the manhole and the sand bags were still there from last week so the majority was already being contained. I then drove to the private pumps station and tried to see if I could reset a pump, and at this time, Don from JIMNI showed up along with Joel.

Notice of Intention to Disconnect for Sewer Violations (California Health and Safety Code section 6523.2) Notice is hereby given that the Board of Directors of the Costa Mesa Sanitary District will meet on , 2015 at 628 W. 19 th Street, Costa Mesa at a.m./p.m. to consider whether the property at 151 Kalmus Drive , Costa Mesa, s hould be disconnected for violations of the District’s Operations Code pertaining to the maintenance of its pump station. The basis for the violations is set forth in the attached Exhibit. The proposed date of disconnection is , 2015. Dated: by: General Manager EXHIBIT TO NOTICE FOR DISCONNECTION OF PROPERTY AT 151 KALMUS DRIVE , COSTA MESA, CA INTRODUCTION This Exhibit provides the back up material for the violatio ns at t he above location that support disconnectio n of the property from the District’s sewer system. It is based on a series of pump station failures that culminated in a pump station that has been characteri zed as being in imminent danger of a further spill. THE LAW APPLICABLE The Sanitary District L aw The Costa Mesa Sanitary District (“CMSD ”) is a Calif ornia Sanitary District established pursuant to the provisions of Calif ornia H ealth and S afety C ode section 6400 et seq.. That Code provides that the District may enter private property and disconnect that property from the sewer syst em and terminate service for violation of any rule or regulation, after a hearing is provided. A copy of the notice of the hearing must be pro vided to owners of record, according to the Assessor’s tax roll, and a copy provided to each tenant or posted conspicuously on the property. (Health & Saf. Code, § 6523.2) A dditionally, it is provided in S ection 6523.3 that the District is empowered to c orrect any violation of its ordinances and the cost of the correction may be added to any sewer service charge payable by the person violating the ordinance or the owner or tenant of the property upon which the violation occurred. The District has all reme dies available to it for collection of those costs as it has for regular sewer service charges . Power to Coll ect Charges The District is entitled to have its charges collected on the assessment roll, with other rates and charges. (Health & Saf. Code, § 5471 .) The District collects those charges by filing a written report every year with the county auditor/tax collector. The charges may thereafter incur interest at ten percent (10%) for nonpayment, plus a penalty of one and one half percent (1.5%) for fa iling to pay the charges. (Health & Saf. Code, § 5473.10 .) The District’s Ordinances The District operates under a Waste Discharge Order from the State Water Resources Control Board which requires that the District take numerous actions to ensure that there are no sanitary system overflows (“SSOs ”). Property owners in the District are responsible for maintaining sewer laterals in a safe, sanitary , and unobstructed condition, and all devices appurtenant to those laterals must be maintained in good work ing order. (District Operations Code, § 6.02.020 .) In cases in which a property is a source of sewer spill on more than one occasion such that recurrence is likely, or in cases of imminent danger of future sewer spills, the Board may order that the respons ible person reconstruct the sewer lateral or other appropriate device to protect against overflows that would violate the law. (District Operations Code, § 6.02.070 .) The District may also disconnect the property from the system. (District Operations Code , § 6.02.080 .) It is further provided that the District has the authority to charge for all costs related to failure to maintain property and other actions which cause sewer spills or back ups. Responsible persons are liable for response costs whether by D istrict personnel or District’s independent contractors. The District is entitled to recover for the full costs of such responses. (District Operations Code, §§ 6.09.020, 6.09.030) It is further provided that the District is entitled to recover its costs for abating a violation pursuant to H ealth and Safety Code section 6520.2 and that the cost may be passed on to the person violating the ordinance, the owner or the tenant. (District Operations Code, § 6.10.010) Although due process is generally to be prov ided beforehand, in sewer spill situations , the need for a prompt response in the interest of public health, safety and welfare usually outweighs the due process considerations of having a pre -abatement hearing. In those cases , the District Engineer may de termine that immediate abatement is required and only witness statements and photographs may be available for a post -abatement hearing. (District Operations Code, § 6.10.050) All of the above provisions are subject to due process and responsible persons a re entitled to a fair hearing on whether the conditions warranted abatement and whether the charges are reasonable. INCIDENTS FORMING THE BASIS FOR THE DISCONNECTION 1. On July 30, 2013 , a sewer spill occurred at the site and caused a District response. The property manager was sent a District invoice for the sum of $2,473 .31 which remains unpaid. (See Exhibit 1 .) 2. On Feb ruary 14, 2014 , a sewer spill occurs requiring a District response. The property manager was sent an invoice in the sum of $536 .98 , which remains unpaid. (See Exhibit 1 .) 3. On. Dec ember 22, 2014 , a sewer spill occurred and CR &R and JIMNI were both called out to the scene. An i nvoice is attached for District time spent on this SSO and the charges are $190.22 . (See Exhibit 2 .) 4. On Dec ember 30, 2014 , another sewer spill occurred. Kris Rodgers in a private business complex called to say sewage was coming form the manhole. JIMNI was contacted but they would not respond until yo ur company approved the work order. District personnel responded to the scene and a clean up effort occurred. District personnel tried to reset pump. There was an estimated spill of 50 gallons. An i nvoice is attached and the charges are $435.63 . (See Exhib it 3 .) At the time and place provided in the Notice of Intention to Disconnect, you will be given an opportunity to explain if you believe you are not responsible or if you believe disconnection is not appropriate. You will be provided with an opportunity to bring evidence, witnesses, documentary evidence and you will be given an oppo rtunity to address the Board. You may desire to seek the advice of an attorney. There will be a limited opportunity to ask questions of the District’s witnesses. Please respond if you object to this property being disconnected.

The Di strict attended last year’s conference, which was held in Monterey, California. The three topics to be discussed that are related to achieving Zero Waste goals are as follows: 1. Financial 2. Social; and 3. System challenges Staff Recommendation That the Board of Directors considers sending a boa rd member to the conference. Analysis The Road to Zero Waste Conference is scheduled for March 16 -19, 2015 in New Orleans, Louisiana. Staff reviewed the preliminary program online and believes there are some relevant topics at the conference that may provide beneficial information to CMSD. The following conference programs staff believes is wor th attending. Board of Directors January 13, 2015 Page 2 of 3 • The Financial Power of Zero Waste Programs: A Pay-a s-You-Throw Case Study from Worcester Massachusetts. - Pay-as-you-throw (PAYT) programs have long been recognized as one of the strongest t ools to help municipalities accomplish their zero-waste goals. Paying for solid waste services in proportion to how much they use makes people aware of the cost of it, which leads them to throwing away less and recycle, compost, reuse, and make source reductions more. Solid waste is often considered a utility, s o it would make sense to treat it like other utilities (gas, water, and electricity) where people pay more for consuming more. • The “One Bin” MSW System and the “Real” Mixed MRF – This presentation describes how the City of Montgomery Alabama implem ented the one bin / mixed waste system like the one currently being used at C MSD. Officials believe Montgomery will divert up to 80% of its waste from the landfill using the one bin / mixed waste system. This diversion will be achieved by separating up to 95-99 % of available recyclables and recovering and processing organic waste. Future expansion of the facility will include an anaerobic digestion (AD) plant that will convert organic residuals into compressed natural g as (CNG) and compost, as well as a high value engineered fuel production facility for use in coal fired power plants. It will be interesting to learn how Montgo mery is diverting 80% before the AD plant is constructed and how they are able to se parate organics without being contaminated with refuse. • Behavior Change, Education & Action: Utilizing Prov en Strategies to Increase Recycling – This presentation describes how Keep America Bea utiful successfully change people’s behavior to increase recycling. In formation learned from this session might help in the District’s endeavors of c onducting its own behavior study for organics recycling. • Shifting the Paradigm from the Old Way to Zero Wast e: Oberlin, Ohio – This presentation describes the City’s Zero Waste Plan a nd how politics and personal agendas can derail your plans even if it makes econ omic and sustainable sense. Strategic Element & Goal This item will complies with Strategic Element No. 3.0, Partnerships and Strategic Goal No. 3.4, Participate in the activities of professional assoc iations. Legal Review Not applicable Board of Directors January 13, 2015 Page 3 of 3 Environmental Review Attendance at a conference is not a disturbance of the environment similar to grading or construction and does not constitute a project unde r CEQA or the District’s CEQA Guidelines. It may also be noted the purpose of th e conference is betterment of the environment through more effective trash collection and recycling programs. Financial Review The cost to attend this conference is estimated at $2,044 per person, which includes hotel (3 nights), conference registration, transportation , airfare, parking and meals. On December 18, 2014, the Board approved sending one s taff person to the conference, but directed staff to bring this item back for discussi on at a study session to consider sending a board member. There is sufficient money in the budget to send one staff person to the conference; however, additional money, in the amount of $2,044 , will need to be appropriated if the Board approves sending one board member to the conf erence.

Staff Recommendation That the Board of Directors receive and file the re port. Analysis The Board of Directors requested a discussion on ho w staff determines the District can provide adequate services (sewer and solid waste) t o new development. The following is a brief summary. SEWERS Sewer Capacity Check 1. Review the proposed site plan and calculate the density of the proposed development. For example, if residential, calculat e number of proposed dwelling units per acre. Board of Directors January 13, 2015 Page 2 of 4 2. Review the proposed sewer design in terms of rat e of discharge and direction of proposed wastewater flow. 3. Review the proposed density, flow rates, and dir ection of flow relative to acceptable levels identified in the District’s 2005 Sewer Mast er Plan and the new Hydraulic Model. If the density and flow rates are within ac ceptable levels, issue a “will serve letter”. 4. If the proposed flow rates from the development are higher than the master plan or hydraulic model anticipated, review the impact of t hese higher flows and then require the engineer of record to perform a formal sewer study detailing the impacts. The existing system is checked with the e xtra flows from the developer’s parcel plus another scenario is developed where the developer’s parcel and other parcels on the same sewer system have the same dens ity as the developer’s proposed density. This scenario gives the District an indication of the cumulative impacts if the domino theory were to occur and othe r property owners in the vicinity of the subject parcel were to apply for the identic al density. 5. After review and approval of the sewer study, if additional sewer capacity is needed, notify engineer of record and include the m itigation measures in the will serve letter. The District requires developers who need extra capacity to provide this capacity instead of having the ratepayers bear this burden. The sewer study and conditioned will serve letter are then circulat ed. 6. Remind the engineer of record the will serve let ter is written with a 3-year expiration period after which a new request to the District mu st be made. The District does not reserve sewer capacity into the long-term futur e. Review of Preliminary Sewer Improvement Plan for Ad herence to Standards 7. With regard to sewer design, the District has ad opted the latest version of the California Plumbing Code (CPC) for sewer constructi on on private property and the District’s Standard Specifications for Sanitary Sew er Construction for all work in public right-of-way or in CMSD easements. 8. Review the design and constructability of the se wer improvements proposed for the development including clarifying which sections of sewer will be private and which will be public. Board of Directors January 13, 2015 Page 3 of 4 9. Provide redline comments to the engineer of reco rd and discuss by phone conversation or meeting. 10. Clarify with the engineer of record the Distric t is an independent special district separate from the City and explain the current plan check procedure, processing requirements, fee calculations, location of sewer a tlas on the website, etc. 11. Maintain a friendly open-door policy for and fo llow-up questions . SOLID WASTE When developers submit plans for developments, they go through the City's Development Review Committee Process. The plans are reviewed by the committee and comments are noted. The comments are forwarded to the developer for changes, corrections, etc. Each plan is different but staff will specifically look for trash pick-up accessibility. Staff looks for the following requirements: Minimum of 20 feet street width/ gutter and curb l ocations Minimum of 40 feet turning radius For larger developments, staff looks for route pat h and cart placement Complicated plans are forwarded to CR&R for commen t The CR&R trucks are 9 feet wide, 15 feet tall and a bout 35 feet long; however, after having discussions with CR&R, they have agreed to u se smaller refuse trucks if such development necessitates the use of said vehicle. In addition, staff will make sure the buildings do not have any overhangs that might make it difficult for the trucks to pass through. We also look at parking and parking stalls within the development to make sure they do not get in the way and staff will check the architectural plans to make sure that enough room to store carts out of public view. Strategic Element & Goal This item will complies with Strategic Elements No. 1.0, Sewer Infrastructure and No. 2, Solid Waste, which states: Sewer Infrastructure “Objective: Our objective is to collect and transport wastewate r to meet the needs of existing and future customers. Board of Directors January 13, 2015 Page 4 of 4 Strategies: We will do this by the careful management of the co llection infrastructure using prudent planning and maintenance, with financ ial strategies to maintain sufficient capacity and respond to changing regulatory demands .” Solid Waste “Objective: Our objective is to manage the collection and recyc ling of residential trash in the most economical and environmentally friendly wa y.
