Subject: Receive and File Waste Composition Studies #7 and #8 from Michael Balliet Consulting
Summary
Michael Balliet Consulting (MBC) performed two waste composition studies (#7 and #8) on December 15, 2023, to determine the
amount of organic waste contamination in mixed waste collection. This report and the attached waste composition studies describe
MBC's findings.
Recommendation
That the Board of Directors receive and file Waste Composition Studies #7 and #8 from Michael Balliet Consulting.
Analysis
The District contracts with Michael Balliet Consulting for franchise hauler compliance, SB 1383 and related regulatory compliance, and
quarterly waste composition studies. Waste composition studies consist of sorting, weighing and categorizing a random sample from a
waste collection route for the purpose of determining contamination levels and identifying the need for education and outreach.
Prohibited container contaminants in a mixed waste study include green waste and food waste.
During a waste composition study, collection route material is transported to CR&R's transfer station in Stanton and dumped onto a
clean sorting area. The load material is spread out and a grid pattern is established over the load. Grid locations are selected at random
to collect samples for sorting. The material from the selected grid is loaded into a trash barrel and a sorting team then segregates the
material into the following six categories: (1) green waste, (2) food waste, (3) paper and cardboard that is dry and easily recycled, (4)
other recyclable items (plastic, metal, and glass), (5) cardboard and paper that is wet/contaminated by food waste, and (6) all remaining
material that is considered "trash."
Waste Composition Study #7 reviewed a mixed waste route located primarily south of Sunflower Avenue and north of South Coast
Drive, bordered on the west by Fairview Road and on the east by Bear Street. A route map is included below.
A total of 222.40 pounds of mixed waste was sorted into the six material types previously described. The material types and their
respective weights and percentage of total sample size are included below.

Waste Composition Study #8 reviewed a mixed waste route located in the eastern portion of the Mesa Del Mar neighborhood,
generally north of Presidio Drive, south of Mission Drive and St. Clair Street, east of Lorenzo Avenue, and west of Drake Avenue. A
route map is included below.
A total of 267.30 pounds of mixed waste was sorted into the six material types previously described. The material types and their
respective weights and percentage of total sample size are included below.

Trash 167.70 62.74%
Total Trash 178 66.59%
In summary, the mixed waste route from Waste Composition Study #7 had an acceptable level of contamination at 9.17%, with 10% or
less being the ideal level of contamination. However, the total contamination level of 30.22% is the highest of the eight (8) waste
composition studies performed in 2023. The green waste contamination of 21.04% can be attributed to the trimmings of a heavy bush
and succulent plant. This sort did not contain any grass clippings which suggests that this area is doing a good job properly disposing of
green waste, with the heavy bush trimming being a non-typical occurrence.
The mixed waste route from Waste Composition Study #8 contained 12.53% of prohibited container contaminants, of which only 0.11%
was green waste. These results indicate that this neighborhood is correctly disposing of green waste in the organics container. While
the overall contamination level (12.53%) is the second lowest of the eight (8) waste composition studies performed in 2023, food waste
contamination is high at 12.42%.

Via: Scott Carroll, General Manager
From: Marissa Pereyda, Management Analyst II
Date: February 13, 2024
Subject: Receive and File CR&R FY 2022-23 Annual Performance Review
Summary
Per Section 4.6 of the District's July 1, 2018, Agreement with CR&R Environmental Services, the District shall complete an annual
performance review of residential services provided by CR&R as well as administrative services, including report preparation, accuracy,
timeliness of transmittal, responsive to inquiries, database management, service levels, and helpfulness. The FY 2022-23 Annual
Performance Review of CR&R is presented to the Board of Directors.
Recommendation
That the Board of Directors receive and file CR&R FY 2022-23 Annual Performance Review.
Analysis
Each year, staff conducts a performance evaluation of CR&R to determine contract compliance and performance satisfaction.
Performance is evaluated on the following grading scale: Excellent, Satisfactory, Unsatisfactory, and Not Applicable. The evaluation
term of CR&R's Annual Performance Review being presented to the Board of Directors is July 1, 2022, to June 30, 2023. The
performance review found that CR&R demonstrated acceptable compliance for the year in review with some Unsatisfactory areas in
need of improvement. Staff reviewed nine areas of performance with the findings summarized below. Any Excellent or Unsatisfactory
ratings are noted, with all other ratings being Satisfactory or Not Applicable.
1. Services to be Provided and Term
During the review period, CR&R furnished all labor, material, and equipment to collect, transport, recycle, and dispose of solid
waste collected from CMSD customers.
Reports confirm that CR&R has transported all material collected from the CMSD service area to CR&R's Material Recovery
Facility (MRF) and Anaerobic Digestion (AD) Facility and unrecyclable residue to Orange County landfill sites.
2. Hauler Compensation
The District's standard per-unit net-to-hauler payment ($19.34) for the year in review is within ten-percent (10%) of the County
average net-to-hauler rate ($22.56) as required by the Agreement.
CR&R submitted a CPI increase request in March 2023 and the Board of Directors approved a five-percent (5%) CPI increase
adjustment for FY 2023-24 on August 21, 2023.
3. Records, Reports, Reviews, and Audits
CR&R sends the District month-end reports by the seventh of each month as required by the Agreement.
CR&R reports a 61.14% diversion rate, which is well above the 50% diversion rate required by the Agreement.
4. Operations
With the exception of a three month period of delays, CR&R typically replaces damaged carts within one week.
The District receives 80% of the revenue generated from additional container charges along with accompanying documentation
on a quarterly basis.
Collection trucks continue to be powered by Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) and display Costa Mesa Sanitary District banners.
Excellent (Contract Liaison 5.7): Senior Sustainability Manager Mike Carey continues to provide superior customer service to
the District and CR&R staff continues to meet monthly with District staff to discuss issues and concerns with service.
CR&R's office hours are 7:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., Monday - Friday, excluding holidays, which is one hour more than required by
the agreement and Leslie Sanchez, the District's Customer Service Designee, promptly responds to staff requests.

Contamination Monitoring is Not Applicable since contamination processing fees were not assessed, and there is nothing to
report for the other items in this performance category.
6. Default and Damages
Liquidated Damages is Not Applicable since they were not presented to CR&R during the review period ending June 30, 2023,
and there is nothing to report for the other items in this performance category.
7. Collection Schedule
During the year in review, at total of 538 missed collection complaints were received via GOGov. Missed collections have
decreased by 29.86% from the previous review period and are trending down for the first time in four years.
8. Special Programs
The Christmas Tree Collection Program was greatly improved from the previous year, with only two complaints received
compared to 101 complaints the previous year.
Unsatisfactory (Large Item Pickup 9.1.3): The Large Item Collection Program experienced significant delays during the first two
quarters of the review period with collections averaging three to four weeks to complete. CR&R increased collection frequency
and collections improved during the second two quarters of the review period, but additional improvement is needed.
Excellent (Annual Compost Event 9.1.6): The District was pleased with CR&R's coordination efforts and making sure the event
was successful. CR&R provided compost and eight volunteers, and the District was able to distribute 1,680 bags or 50,400
pounds of compost.
Unsatisfactory (Community Outreach Programs 9.3): CR&R's Sustainability Specialist did not dedicate the required
approximately 20 hours per week to promoting solid waste diversion programs for the District. CR&R will need to dedicated
substantially more time to cart-to-cart outreach and other diversion outreach programs in order to be in compliance with the
Agreement.
9. Miscellaneous
District staff completed negotiations with CR&R and entered into the First Amendment to the Agreement on January 27, 2023.
The CR&R FY 2022-23 Annual Performance Review was presented to the Citizens Advisory Committee (CAC) at the January 10, 2024,
CAC meeting.
Legal Review
Not applicable.
Environmental Review
Consideration of CR&R's annual performance review is an administrative matter and is exempt from the requirements of the California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) (Public Resources Code Section 21000 et. seq.). Section 15300.4 of CEQA allows an agency while
establishing its own procedures "to list those specific activities which fall within each of the exempt classes," and the District has
adopted "CEQA Guidelines and Implementing Procedures" that state on page 6 "Projects" does not include... C. Continuing
administration or maintenance activities.
Financial Review
There is no financial impact for conducting the FY 2022-23 Annual Performance Review of CR&R since the review is conducted by
District staff.

Date: February 13, 2024
Subject: CMSD's 80th Anniversary Logo
Summary
In celebration of the Costa Mesa Sanitary District's (CMSD's) 80th anniversary, staff solicited freelance graphic design services to create
3 variations of an 80th anniversary logo. As is customary, these celebratory logos will be used to brand various materials, including
digital and print marketing materials and promotional giveaway items throughout 2024.
Recommendation
That the Board of Directors select the District's 80th Anniversary logo.
Analysis
Attached to the staff report are three 80th Anniversary logo designs for the Board's review and selection. Staff directed the graphic
designer to consider the following elements of design:
Tagline: Preserving Today, Protecting Tomorrow
Staff developed the short tagline, "Preserving Today, Protecting Tomorrow," as a synthesis of CMSD's mission statement,
vision statement, and just cause:
Mission statement: To protect public health and the environment for current and future generations
Vision statement: Leading a community that is free from solid waste and wastewater pollution
Just cause: Keeping our water environment pollution free
Inspiration for the Graphic Elements
As described in our mission, vision, and just cause above, CMSD aims to protect the environment from pollution. While
the word "environment" can conjure many different images, staff was inspired to create a logo that incorporates a sunset
over the Back Bay - a beautiful piece of natural scenery that is unique to our community and our service area. Attached
to the report are some photos of the Back Bay that were used as a basis for the design. The inclusion of a local
waterway in the logo is meant to represent the local waters that CMSD aims to protect through effective solid waste and
wastewater system management.
Citizens Advisory Committee & Staff's Choice
Online and in-person surveys were conducted to obtain the CAC and CMSD staff's feedback regarding the logo
options. Option 1 received the most votes during both surveys; however, Option 2 was a close second choice.

Via: Scott Carroll, General Manager
From: Noelani Middenway, CMC, District Clerk/Public Information Officer
Date: February 13, 2024
Subject: Citizens Advisory Committee Members Attendance
Summary
On October 26, 2017, the Board of Directors approved establishing a Citizens Advisory Committee (CAC) to study relevant issues,
advise on subjects and make recommendations and comments to the Board of Directors. The CAC provides citizen involvement and a
channel of public communication to the Board.
Recommendation
That the Board of Directors receive and file the CAC attendance report.
Analysis
The CAC is an 11-member committee that is guided by the policies described in the CAC Handbook. CAC members are expected to
attend all meetings and should make every effort to do so. Per the CAC Handbook, “If a member is absent for three meetings, unless
excused by the Chair, the Vice Chair shall contact that member and inform the member of this policy. If the member misses a fourth
meeting without being excused by the Chair, the member shall be removed through written notification from the Chair.” (Admin Policy
No. 60.00)
Per the Board’s request, attached is the CAC’s attendance log for its current members. There are two members who have missed the
past three consecutive CAC meetings, Annette Watson and Daniel Baum, whose terms end March 2024. There will be seven vacancies
on the CAC at the conclusion of the March CAC meeting, and applications for appointments are currently being accepted through
Thursday, February 29, 2024. The Board will appoint new members to the CAC at its regular Board meeting on March 25, 2024.
