Directors Present: Bob Ooten, Arlene Schafer Staff Present: Rob Hamers, Tom Fauth, Joan Revak, Denise Gilbert Director Ooten called the meeting to order at 12:00 p.m. I. RECYCLING COMMITTEE GOALS FOR 2007/2008 The Committee reviewed the detailed 2007/2008 recycling goals and suggested moving items "Continue Tours of CRT, OC Landfills & OCSD" and "Sponsor Tour of OCSD Groundwater Replenishment Facility in November 2007" to Item VIII. The Committee also discussed adding to goals "CRT Conducted Seminars ". Suggested names to add to guest speakers are Sue Gordon and Tim Grogan, IWMD II. LARGE ITEM COLLECTION - JUNE 11 - AUGUST 24, 2007 Ms. Revak reported the 2007 Large Item Collection Program will run from June 11 to August 24, 2007 and provided samples of the door hangers. Included with the door hangers this year is a magnet listing holidays observed by the trash collector and phone number to call for information on the CMSD trash collection program. Ms. Revak also provided dates for large item collection for each of the Directors. A copy of the City Recreation Review summer publication where a copy of the magnet with the holiday listing was featured was provided by Ms. Revak III. WATER CONSERVATION Mr. Fauth provided an article on "25 Ways to Save Water at Home" such as, checking for hidden water leaks, checking toilets for leaks, not using toilet as an ashtray or wastebasket, placing plastic bottles in toilet tank to cut down on water waste by ten or more gallons of water per day. Other ideas including replacing toilets with an ultra -low flush volume 6 liter flush model, representing a 70% savings in water flushed. Insulating water pipes is an easy and inexpensive way to get hot water faster avoiding waste of water while it heats up. Many other suggestions for water conservation are included in the publication.

Director Monahan called the meeting to order at 10:30 a.m. DIRECTORS PRESENT: Jim Ferryman, Gary Monahan, Bob Ooten DIRECTORS ABSENT: STAFF PRESENT: Robin B. Hamers, Manager /District Engineer; Thomas A. Fauth, Assistant Manager; Joan Revak, Board Secretary/Program Manager /Clerk of the District; Karl Dulake, Maintenance Supervisor; Joe Limon, Inspector; Debbie Bjornson, Permit Processing Specialist; OTHERS PRESENT: None CMSD SEWER SPILL STATISTICS AND MAINTENANCE UPDATE Following a review of the minutes from the May 23, 2007 Sewer System Risk Assessment Subcommittee Meeting, Mr. Fauth presented the overall Sanitary Sewer Overflow (SSO) statistics for 2007 — grease caused four SSOs, tree roots caused one SSO and Other issues such as debris blockage and a pump station bubbler failure caused two SSOs. Discussion centered on pump station and line cleaning maintenance, plans and records Staff maintained since January 2006 since changing to National Plant Systems, Inc. (NPSI) and JIMNI Systems for maintenance. Of note, zero SSOs have occurred in areas NPSI have cleaned District main lines. Staff confirmed hot spot cleaning has managed to prevent repeat SSOs at the same locations. The District extended the CCTV schedule to July 2008 instead of doubling up the CCTV and cleaning crews. Staff continues to evaluate options to back -up or potentially replace pump station bubbler systems. COS* MESA SANITARY DISTRICT MINUTES OF BOARD OF DIRECTORS SEWER SYSTEM COMMITTEE MEETING ►" JUNE 13, 2007 PAGE 2 Staff presented Risk Analysis Primer including a fishbone analysis technique for evaluating pump station failure risk. These results will next be evaluated and plotted using a classic Risk - Frequency Analysis technique. Mr. Dulake provided a summary of pump station status for all 20 District pump stations, which directly support the fishbone analysis. CMSD must rent a hoist truck to remove and maintain the largest pumps at Irvine, Elden and Harbor as the weight is above the capacity of the District service truck. CMSD PROJECT #101 — WESTSIDE PUMP STATION ABANDONMENT Staff presented the OCSD "Rough Order of Magnitude Estimate" covering the projected decreasing OCSD budget trend from $353M in FY 08 -09 to $24M in FY16 -17. Director Ferryman confirmed FY12 -13 is the soonest OCSD can add the cost to the budget to fund the CMSD Westside Abandonment. Director Ooten noted the OCSD budget process begins in September of each year. The two options OCSD costed are as follows: 1. Option 2: $9M for a gravity flow approach. 2. Option 2: $6.6M to rebuild the City of Newport Beach Pump Station. Mr. Hamers presented a map depicting the completed CMSD lines (Southern A6, A3 and Al) and District plans to cost out the engineering /construction costs for CMSD's portion of the cost including $250K/FY in the Capital Improvement Projects (CIP). Director Monahan recommended adding a Consumer Price Index (CPI) inflationary factor to the CIP budget each year. Mr Hamers will send a letter to OCSD documenting CMSD's estimated cost within the next two months. CMSD CLEANING CREWS Discussions re- verified the District sewer maintenance plan consists of the following approach through June 2008: 1. NPSI will provide maintenance cleaning of one -half of the CMSD main lines every year after the current televising project is complete. 2. NPSI will provide hotspot cleaning on Friday every week. 3. JIMNI Systems will provide the primary maintenance on the 20 District pump stations. 4. C &R Drains remains as the CMSD after -hours emergency first - responder. Staff analysis documented the cost of a comparable in -house crew and equipment to perform hot spot cleaning and first responder services is approximately 2/3 the cost of a contractor, using fully- burdened data. Staff will document the savings comparing NPSI costs to the costs for in -house operations. 0 C( MESA SANITARY DISTRICT MIN ES OF BOARD OF DIRECTORS SEWER YSTEM COMMITTEE MEETING e ` JUNE 13, 2007 PAGE 3 SEWER LATERAL ISSUES Mr Hamers presented the memo on "Common Sewer Laterals ", noting CMSD ordinances allow common laterals for condominiums, but for condominium conversions, owners must CCTV their lines. Director Monahan recommended Mr Hamers write a letter to the City of Costa Mesa regarding the CMSD approach to require CCTV services for condominium conversions. Discussion covered several options for triggers requiring CCTV of lateral lines. Mr Hamers and Staff will document a comprehensive approach to identifying when CCTV services are required and the conditions for changing common sewer laterals to single laterals. Potential triggers include an SSO, an inside facility backup, a repeat SSO and remodeling thresholds. Staff included the Lateral Assistance program in the 5 -Year Capital Improvement Program for FY 2007 -08 Through FY 2011 -12 at a level $100,000.00 per FY. CMSD EMERGENCY RESPONSE - DISTRICT YARD UPDATE Staff is coordinating meetings with City of Costa Mesa representatives to reach an agreement on suitable locations for a CMSD yard within the City of Costa Mesa. The minimum District Yard requirements to respond to SSO emergencies remain as follows: a. Location: Centralized District location for equalized response; b. Lot Size: 9,000 to 12,000 sq ft for outside storage and parking; c. Building Size: 2,500 to 5,000 sq ft for office, hoist repairs and storage; Siting issues include the availability of property, the property zoning (MG needed), the City of Costa Mesa requirement for conditional use permits (CUPs requiring 10 -12 weeks to obtain approval) and the four zoning overlays in place. The overlays are: 1. South of Bristol Entertainment, Culture and Arts Urban Plan (SoBECA); 2. Mesa West Bluffs Urban Plan; 3. 19 West Urban Plan; and 4. Mesa West Residential Ownership Urban Plan. Mr Fauth will contact Mr Don Lamm, City of Costa Mesa Development Services Director to pursue flexibility in obtaining a yard in the City of Costa Mesa. The primary example of the issue is the inability of CMSD to acquire the property at 2973 Randolph Ave, Costa Mesa, CA with attractive terms including an all cash purchase and close of escrow in 30 days. CLOSURE The next two meetings are scheduled for July 11, and August 8, 2007 at 10:30 a.m. COOMESA SANITARY DISTRICT MINUTES OF BOARD OF DIRECTORS SEWER SYSTEM COMMITTEE MEETING ® JUNE 13, 2007 PAGE 4 PUBLIC COMMENTS There were no public comments.

The proceeds of the matured security were placed into LAIF. In the event the District needs the funds to purchase or place a deposit on a yard, LAIF provides that liquidity. LAIF was paying 5.25% interest at the end of the May while the District portfolio was earning 4.39% at the end of May. The next investment will be maturing in September 2007 and those proceeds will also be deposited into LAIF. The September investment of $500,000 is currently earning interest at the rate of 2.6 %, and it will go into the 5% range once the funds are deposited into LAIF. The District should see an increase in investment earnings next fiscal year due to the higher interest rates. Director Ooten inquired about LAIF's liquidity and District cash flow. Mr. Davis provided an overview of LAIF and the daily liquidity it provides. Mr. Davis confirmed that the District does experience a cash flow deficiency from July through November due to the timing of collection and processing of District charges through the Orange County Property Tax Assessors Office. In the event the District did have to sell an investment to cover cash flow, the result would be a loss due to the fact all District investments are currently below market value. MINUTES OF INVESTMENT OVERSIGHT COMMITTEE MEETING June 14, 2007 Page 2 Director Ooten asked the amount of the District's monthly expenses and why • the current month's financial statements provided in the Board packet were missing the monthly information. Mr. Davis estimated the District monthly expenses between $400,000 and $600,000 per month. Mr. Davis directed staff to follow up on the reason for the lack of rr)onthly expenses on the financial statements. Mr. Hamers questioned what effect a recession would have on the District investments. Mr. Davis stated that a recession would drive our investments' market value down, but that the District would only be impacted if we are forced to sell a security during that time. Mr. Fauth inquired if the District found a yard in the $3,000,000 price range where the funds would come from. Mr. Davis stated the actual dollars would come from District funds held in LAIF. A purchase of a District yard for $3,000,000 would leave approximately $3,000,000 in LAIF to cover the cash flow dry spell that ends in November. Director Ferryman arrived at 5:40pm. Review of Investment Policy Mr. Davis reported that there are no real changes to the District's Investment Policy. The 07/08 District Investment Policy will be presented the Board at • the July 2007 Board meeting. In updating the District Investment Policy, the California Government Code that covers investments of special districts was reviewed and there were no changes this year. Director Schafer asked Mr. Davis if he was comfortable with the grandfather provision in the policy. Mr. Davis explained that the grandfather provision states that if the California legislature changes allowable securities and the district is currently invested in one of those securities, we do not have to sell the security until it matures, which protects the District. Mr. Davis reviewed the primary components of our investment policy: legality, safety, liquidity, diversification and yield. Mr. Davis emphasized that District philosophy is safety first before yield. Mr. Hamers requested staff to share information from the GFOA convention. Ms. Kallab stated that there were recommendations for government agencies to establish an audit committee. Mr. Davis recommended that the investment oversight committee could also function as the District's audit committee. Mr. Hamers asked if audit periods were discussed and Ms. Kallab responded that the recommended time to go out to bid was every 5 years to ensure rate competitiveness. Ms. Kallab also reported that audit costs are expected to increase 10 to 15% due to new regulations that would increase the amount of time required for the audit. C • MINUTES OF INVESTMENT OVERSIGHT COMMITTEE MEETING PUBLIC COMMENTS ADJOURNMENT Approved by: June 14, 2007 Page 3 Director Ooten questioned the District's $3,000,000 limit per broker /dealer. Mr. Davis noted this serves as a means to limit the number of people we do business with. The District currently has three approved broker dealers. Mr. Davis informed the Committee that the components of the District Investment Policy include the policy covered in the first six pages of the report and several attachments that cover guidelines, internal controls, segregation of duties and a glossary of investment terms. Mr. Davis does not foresee buying any securities in the upcoming fiscal year. Director Ooten asked about areas the district auditors review and Mr. Davis provided a brief overview. There were no items discussed under public comments.

I. Review of Proposed Capital Improvement Project No. 186 Mr Hamers presented a review of the intent of Project No. 186 — to provide a Sewer Lateral and Clean Out Assistance Program in the amount of $100,000. Mr. Hamers noted laterals need regular maintenance or experience severe problems that lead to sewer system overflows. The United States EPA prohibits sewer spills and the State Water Resources Control Board has recognized private property sewer spills as a significant cause of pollution of bodies of water. Mr. Hamers noted several main points from the Staff prepared "Sewer Lateral Assistance Program Point Paper' including the proposed costs to assist in the cleaning of laterals and the installation of a clean out. An average residential lateral replacement cost is $7,000. Director Monahan noted the lateral repairs at his business cost $15,000 due to the concrete and inside office work required, even though the majority of the work was performed by no -dig. Also, City tree roots are causing problems with laterals and removal of the trees requires approval of the Parks and Recreations Commission. Mr. Hamers concluded the review by reviewing the CMSD Clean Out Drawing No. S -107. Director Monahan reviewed the recommended parameters of the proposed program. Director Schafer proposed raising the District support ceiling and the potential Minutes of Special Meeting June 28, 2007 Page 2 application to businesses. Director Ferryman suggested the District support should be capped at 50% of the actual cost up to the ceiling amount and to consider starting the program in known problem areas such as Royal Palm. Directors Monahan and Ferryman recommended coordinating the repairs with the City of Costa Mesa sidewalk repair. The committee agreed to focus on the following concepts: a. The primary goal is to reduce Sanitary Sewer Overflows (SSOs). b. A secondary goal is to reduce Infiltration and Inflow (1 /1). c. Focus only on residential customers under this pilot program. d. The use of the funds is appropriate as the District has an aging sewer system and the program is of ultimate benefit to the general public. e. The improvement of private property laterals and the reduction of sewer spills provide an affirmative defense to third party lawsuits. f. The program is a combined sewer lateral and clean out assistance program. g. The District support limit was increased from the originally proposed ceiling of $1200 to $1800 per property under the annual program funding level at $100,000. h. Staff will prepare a waiver form for low- income situations. II. Sewer Lateral Standards for Condominium Conversions r Mr. Hamers noted the ordinance for sewer lateral requirements for condominium conversions is being prepared by the Attorney for the District. III. Public Comments No members of the public were present. ADJOURNMENT Director Perry adjourned the meeting at 12:00 p.m. Secretary 4 President • 0 TO: Costa Mesa Sanitary District Board of Directors FROM: Ron Shef, Ordinance Enforcement Officer DATE: July 2, 2007 SUBJECT: ORDINANCE ENFORCEMENT SUMMARY REPORT This report covers the monthly period of June 2007. Over twenty five courtesy notices and regulation sheets were left at resident homes due to non- compliance, both current and follow -up. The Large Item Collection Program began on June 11. The door hangers were visibly noticed in those areas scheduled for the collection in the next two weeks although some areas seemed to be notified only one week prior to collection. Also some adjoining residences had the door hangers where collection would not occur for two weeks later. These mistakes cause confusion with some residents if collection schedules are not followed properly, route by route. Monitoring of the collection program will be continued through the summer to ensure appropriate compliance and minimal scavenging by outsiders. It has also been noticed that residents place items at the curb that are specifically indicated is not to be picked up, according to program guidelines. • COSTA MESA s I I PROJECT STATUS REPORT July 2007 Proiect 1 1 1 21 00 -1 01 West Side Pumping Station Abandonment Study Directors Ferryman and Ooten along with Manager /District Engineer Rob Hamers, Assistant Manager Tom Fauth and Inspector Paul Guzman met with OCSD General Manager Jim Ruth and executive engineering staff on March 29, 2007 to discuss OCSD's participation in the project. It was agreed that the two agencies will work together to determine an approximate project cost and then meet again to discuss the feasibility. The cost estimate has been prepared and is being considered by both agencies. After the CMSD updates its costs for constructing the gravity lines from the pumping stations to be abandoned to the "regional facility," the CMSD will request another meeting with OCSD.

The upgrade alleviates the need for the Bristol Street Pump Station and the project can be reduced to construction of a new gravity sewer only. These. findings were submitted to the Orange County Development Agency and as requested the Sanitary District prepared a new three party agreement reflecting these findings. The agreement has been signed by the Sanitary District and is at the City of Newport Beach for approval.

Necessity for increased operations and maintenance (O &M). The gravity sewer lines have above - normal amounts of grit and debris in the lines due to substandard cleaning practices by the previous maintenance contractor. The cleaning process is now slower, requires more water, and is costlier. The pumps and equipment in the 20 sewer pumping stations were not maintained on a regular schedule and increased maintenance and replacement equipment is required. 2. State Water Resources Control Board Requirements The State of California Water Resources Control Board adopted the General Waste Discharge Requirements (GWDR) under Order No. 2006 -0003. The order mandates comprehensive'sewer system management in order to eliminate sewer spills and overflows. The order requires • Preventative Maintenance • Capacity Assurance • Televising Sewer Mains • Repair Program . • Fats, Oils and Grease (FOG) Control Program • Education and Outreach Program • Emergency Response Sewer rate increases are necessary to cover the cost of increased work in each of these categories. 3. Higher Energy Costs Higher energy costs in the form of higher gasoline costs and higher electricity costs for the District's 20 pumping stations are also causing sewer rates to increase. 4. Sewer Lateral Assistance Program The District is initiating a sewer lateral assistance program. 5. Comparative Notes Even with the increase, the District has one of the very lowest single family sewer rates in Orange County. BASIS FOR NO INCREASE IN 2007 -2008 TRASH COLLECTION CHARGES 1. The Sanitary District negotiated a freeze in the 2006 -2007 trash collection charge with its contractor CR &R of Stanton, California. The District also negotiated limited increases in future years' rates by tying the rate to rates of other local agencies and cities in Orange County. 2. The District instituted an "extra container charge" program where residents pay $8 per month for each container above the first two containers. This prevents residents who leave out average amounts of trash from subsidizing those who leave out above - average amounts of trash. The revenue collected from this program is being used as a rate stabilization fund for the trash collection program. 3. The County of Orange Integrated Waste Management Department (IWMD) is holding the landfill charge at the existing rate of $22 per ton. Therefore, the landfill charge is not causing the CMSD trash collection charge to rise. 4. The CMSD and CR &R have kept expenses at a reasonable level and are absorbing increases to maintain the trash collection rate at the current level. • • I� U U *2004 Data city Cart Size Rate 1 Laguna Woods* NA $6.00 2 Irvine NA $11.04 3 Orange NA $11.77 4* Lake Forest NA $11.95 5 Rancho Santa Margarita NA $12.01 6 Laguna Hills NA $12.79 7* Mission Viejo NA $13.13 8 Tustin NA $13.69 9 Dana Point 95 $13.75 10 Aliso Viejo NA $14.12 11 Buena Park MRF NA $14.13 12 Laguna Beach NA $14.18 13 Los Alamitos 95 $14.58 14 Seal Beach NA $14.70 15 Westminster NA $14.75 16 La Palma NA $14.89 17 Santa Ana NA $15.34 18 Yorba Linda NA $15.45 19 Cypress NA $15.80 20 La Habra* NA $15.99 21 San Juan Capistrano 95 $16.28 22 Anaheim NA $16.61 23 San Clemente 65 $16.63 24 Stanton NA $16.73 25 Brea NA $16.77 26 Fullerton NA $17.09 27 La una Ni uel 65 $17.48 28 Fountain Valle NA $17.83 29 Huntington Beach NA $18.62 30 Garden Grove NA $18.92 31 Villa Park NA $18.98 32 Placentia NA $19.49 33 lNewport Costa Mesa MRF NA $19.95 34 Beach NA Paid through General Fund *2004 Data COSTA MEStt SA, a�7a7(�'DI,sZ�ICZ Memorandum ... an Independent Special rDistrict To: Board of Directors From: Robin B.

Rob Hamers, Tom Fauth, Joan Revak, Marc Davis, Sherry Kallab 3 2007 -2008 Capital Improvement Program Introduction The Board of Directors and Staff of the Costa Mesa Sanitary District (CMSD) recognized the need to substantially increase the commitment to the sewer Operations and Maintenance (O &M) Program and the Capital Improvement Program (CIP) in future years beginning with the 2007 -2008 fiscal year. The need to increase funding is due mainly to two events: • The necessity to meet the State Water Resources Control Board General Waste Discharge Requirements (WDR.) The CMSD and other agencies tributary to the Orange County Sanitation District (OCS.D) treatment plants were under a nearly identical order from the Santa Ana Regional Water Quality Control Board until the state- wide order was adopted. After state adoption on May 2, 2006, the regional order was rescinded. The order requires comprehensive sewer system management with the requirement to eliminate sewer overflows and spills to meet the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Clean Water ® Act. The need to increase funding is due to the following requirements in the order: • 1. Comprehensive O &M program 2. Preventative Maintenance Program 3. Emergency Response Program 4. Televising and Rehabilitation Program for Gravity Sewers 5. Pumping Station and Force Main Program 6. Fats, Oils and Grease (FOG) Control Program 7. Capacity Assurance 8. Public Outreach and Education 9. Program Audit Requirements 10. Comprehensive Monitoring and Reporting Program Discovery by the CMSD that the previous sewer system contractor (the City of Costa Mesa) did not perform industry standard pumping station maintenance nor gravity line cleaning. Beginning December 15, 2005, when the CMSD relieved the City of its duties, eight pumping stations experienced emergency conditions. Certain pumps had milky white oil from not being changed, some pumps had no oil while others had not been serviced in years. Valves were not exercised nor other routine maintenance performed. El • The gravity sewer system was left with substantial amounts of grit and debris in the lines, so much that the CMSD purchased a water truck to provide the extra water needed to properly clean the lines. As an example, the 15 -inch gravity sewer on Adams Avenue had 6- inches of grit and debris in the line. The current project to clean the lines is on -going and the CMSD staff estimated the economic loss at $2 million. Rather than file a claim with the City of Costa Mesa, the Board of Directors determined that the public would be best served by upgrading the operations and maintenance program and moving forward. In order to properly establish a comprehensive sewer system management program, the District established a Sewer System Committee comprised of three Directors, engineering staff, maintenance staff, and inspection staff. The committee meets monthly and discusses all aspects of improving the District's sewer system management. The result of the above is that the CMSD Board of Directors adopted a sewer system budget with a 50% increase in rates, including adopting the 2007 -2008 Capital Improvement Program subject to review by an independent Registered Civil Engineer and approval of the engineer's report by the Board of Directors. Even with the proposed 50% increase, the CMSD sewer rate for single family residences is virtually the lowest rate in Orange County as shown on the attached 2007 -2008 rate study of other Orange County agencies. Additionally, the CMSD Manager /District Engineer is a long- standing member of the WDR Steering Committee that meets monthly as a steering committee and monthly to present to the general group (those agencies tributary to OCSD) how to successfully comply with the WDR. The CMSD Manager /District Engineer created an Education Program for the general group that includes all pertinent topics for comprehensive sewer system management. The first seminar was centered on the subject of whether or not the public agency should own and be responsible for sewer laterals from the right -of- way line to the point of connection with the sewer main in the street. The second seminar was a comparison of vitrified clay pipe (VCP) and polyvinylchloride pipe (PVC.) The third seminar, scheduled for September 20, 2007 will be Design and Maintenance of Sewer Siphons. All of the seminars are open to attendance by engineers and sewer system operations staff from anywhere in the United States. There are currently over 25 topics on the education program list. This is an example of the CMSD's commitment to proper sewer system management. 5 • • COSTA .��S�L SAN, 7.��}'' D IS21�IC7 Memorandum ...an Independent Special District To: Board of Directors From: Robin B.

The 5 -year Capital Improvement Program (CIP) includes yearly funding of $250,000, in effect, establishing a revenue stream for the construction of the gravity lines. The status of the project is as follows. CMSD Director and Orange County Sanitation District (OCSD) President Jim Ferryman, CMSD Director Bob Ooten (former OCSD Director of Operations and Maintenance (O &M)), and senior CMSD engineering staff met with OCSD General Manager Jim Ruth and senior OCSD engineering staff on March 29, 2007 to discuss OCSD's possible participation in the project. OCSD recognizes the result of the project will be the abandonment of six CMSD pumping stations, one City of Newport Beach (CNB) pumping station, one private pumping station, and alleviate the need for a pumping station for the north half of the Banning Ranch in the unincorporated Orange County when it is developed. OCSD usually owns sewer lines when flows from different local agencies become combined, which is the case for this project. At the subject meeting, the CMSD noted that prior OCSD management and engineering staff was positive regarding the project and the CMSD has constructed one long section of the infrastructure; a dry sewer line in the City of Costa Mesa's (CCM) Canyon Park. The CMSD and OCSD agreed to study the cost of the regional facility, the regional facility being the facility that will transmit the combined flows from the west side of the Costa Mesa Sanitary District to the OCSD treatment plant. The study would be performed prior to discussion of OCSD considering whether to commit to the project. CMSD and OCSD staff met and developed a cost estimate for the regional facility. Two options were studied, a gravity system and a pumping station option that uses the same route as the existing CNB station. The cost estimate shows the gravity option at $9.0 million and the pumping station option at $6.6 million. Director Ooten obtained the OCSD 10 -year spending plan and it shows the current cash flow needs at over $300 million to a low of $24 million in year 2016 -2017. on • n I►.�J Prior to the CMSD considering a commitment to the project, the CMSD Manager /District Engineer recommended the CMSD update its 1989 cost estimate for the gravity sewer lines from the pumping stations to be abandoned to the regional facility. The Board of Directors recognized the need for this update to insure the CMSD has the funding source prior to formally requesting OCSD add this project to their 10 -year Capital Improvement Program. As of the end of June 2007, the CMSD is updating the 1989 costs with an expected completion date of August 2007, at which time the CMSD Board will review the results and take appropriate action with respect to committing to the project. The cost estimate work by CMSD staff is funded through previous contributions to the project. A map showing the proposed options for the regional facility is attached along with a map showing the CMSD gravity lines leading from the pumping stations to be abandoned to the regional facility. Recommended appropriation $250,000. 7 • R 1 s i 1 I'IT r f , RI R � � � R RlW • i 1� � tA. �•�NL ..__.._ _- •� A fZ 0 wit !!! i 2 : CI ,t1l �_ "RJR ,`'R�'iRi' RI R L 3 — -- f - -� :✓EST fF P.

P.1' A2 ___ ._... :_ R3 NA I 0 Project #149 - Sinking Fund $100,000 • This yearly project provides a contribution to the long term replacement fund for the sewer system. The Board of Directors approves the yearly contribution that will contribute to replacing the sewer system if and when the sewer system reaches its life expectancy. A long -term replacement fund is prudent and one of the important features of a responsible agency. The District has 227 miles of gravity sewer main that was constructed beginning in 1953. Therefore, the system is 54 years old and industry standard thinking considers the life expectancy of vitrified clay pip (VCP) to be 100 years. The economics of a system wide replacement program are as follows: Assigning a per foot construction cost of $250 per foot, which includes manholes and other related costs, times 227 miles of sewer equals $300 million. This is a significant sum and one that will not be reached by the District since the total yearly budget for the entire District is just over $8 million. Fortunately, VCP sewers have lasted over 200 years in certain locations in the United States and the material itself is inert (resistant to chemical breakdown) and resistant to abrasion. Therefore, it is possible to consider the life expectancy long enough so that technology may advance to a point where new inexpensive rehabilitation methods will be formulated. The most important component for extending the life expectancy of the sewer system is to televise the pipe interior and repair problems before they magnify. The District is currently halfway through the District -wide televising program and the 5 -year CIP includes rehabilitation projects. The following page shows the history of the sinking fund. Interest earned on the funds is not allocated to the project balance but is allocated to the sewer program in general as is usual in the industry.

The charges for this work are hourly as opposed to the larger scale District -wide project that is based on a per foot cost so separate project funding is appropriate. The project provides funds for small -scale miscellaneous sewer televising work. The need for occasional televising occurs when: • A homeowner with a backup claims the District's main is backed up, not the lateral, and televising the sewer main will disclose the condition of the line. • When the jetting hose from the vactor truck hits an obstruction or becomes lodged, televising (also termed CCTV for closed circuit televising) provides a visual assessment of the problem. • The FOG (fats, oils, and grease) program relies on CCTV images of the amount of grease accumulating in the District's main where a lateral enters the main to prove that a food service establishment (FSE) is discharging unacceptable levels of grease. • Other utilities are constructed under or over a CMSD sewer main and the sewer main needs to be checked for structural damage. Yearly projects have been on -going since the entire sewer system was first televised in 1989 -1992. Televising is an important tool and is always a part of the yearly Capital Improvement Program. Televising is approximately $270 per hour and if an eight hour day is spent televising sewer lines that were previously cleaned, approximately 2,000 feet of line can be televised. Because the televising will be of sewer lines with potential problems and will be slow and deliberate, for the purposes of the budget, the approximate footage under this project will be 15,000. Proposed Budget Design $ 3,500 Televising 16,500 Inspection 3,500 Contingency 1,500 0 Total $ 25,000 10 • • Project #164 — Miscellaneous Sewer Work and Manhole Adjustment $190,000 The project provides funds for the purchase of miscellaneous pumping station parts, valves, regular repairs, and emergency repairs such as repairing a ruptured force main. The project also provides funds for the emergency repair of the gravity sewer system as well as the purchase of manhole rings and covers and for the adjusting of manholes to grade during a street rehabilitation project. Funds are also used for applying roach control product in sewer manholes. An example of an emergency repair at a pumping station was the leak in the discharge piping at the Mendoza Pumping Station. When the pump turns on, water shoots out of the hole in the force main. The pump must be shut down, the piping unbolted, and a new elbow bolted in while the station is running on one pump or the bypass pump. When the District terminated the agreement with the City of Costa Mesa on December 15, 2005 for the operations and maintenance of the District's sewer system, the District realized significant additional funds were necessary to bring the maintenance of the pumping stations to the desired standard. Therefore, the project appropriation for this year is proposed as $190,000. Towards the end of the year, the project budget will be reviewed and the recommended appropriation for the subsequent year adjusted as necessary. Recommended appropriation $190,000. 11 • r� Project #168 - Irvine Pumping Station Relocation $950,000 The Irvine Pumping Station (formerly named the Tustin Pumping Station) is located at the intersection of Irvine Avenue and Mesa Drive. The County of Orange will be widening Irvine Avenue, and, under the streets and highways code, the CMSD is required to fund and relocate the pumping station. The project design was completed and bids were opened in order to award the project. The low bidder is Vadnais Corporation and the bid is just over $1.7 million. The project balance prior to this project was $888,000 and the additional funds are needed to fund the construction phase. Construction of the new pumping station is scheduled for the beginning of August 2007. An important consideration in construction projects is the role of the inspector. Proper and continuous inspection insures the construction is performed in a professional manner in accordance with the plans and specifications. In order to allow for continuous inspection, the Board of Directors approved the following construction administration budget on June 14, 2007: Engineering not to exceed 24 weeks x 16 hrs /week x $ 85 /hr = $32,640 Surveying 20 hrs x $220 /hr = $ 4,400 Inspection 75 days x 8 hrs /day x $ 60 /hr = $36,000 Recommended appropriation $950,000 12 TOTAL $73,040 C: 0 0 COSTA MESA SANITARY DISTRICT CONSTRUCTION PLANS FOR IRVINE PUMPING STATION RELOCATION AND REHABILITATION SUPERVISED AND APPROVED BY: PREPARED BY: COSTA MESA SANITARY DISTRICT , mm p— 6I1+1 IIAMERS, PE DATE MANAGER / DISTRICT ENGINEER IRVINE AVENUE AT MESA BOULEVARD i� MAY 2007 COSTA MESA SANITARY DISTRICT BOARD OF DIRECTORS: ARTHUR PERRY ARLENE SOHAFER ROBERT OOTEN JAMES FERRYMAN GARY MONAHAN L5]TU-RF-S1DE F.N�3INE.ERS SHEET 1 OF 15 PREPARED BY: SURFSIDE CONSULTJNG ENGINEERS, INC. ppiESSi� s0K 6//7 JOSE PH P.

CMSD -168 t ®V PUMP STATION SITE PLAN AND SECTION 15 SHEETS 0 Project #180 - FOG Program $100,000 The District has remained in compliance with the State Water Quality Control Board's General Waste Discharge Requirements (WDR) by having an on -going grease control program. Grease is the number one cause of sewer line blockages and sanitary sewer overflows (SSOs) and the District has retained a consultant to manage the FOG program and reduce the grease in the sewer system. The program has been successfully managed for four years by the consultant Environmental and Engineering Contractors, Inc. (EEC) and the proposed budget is for the forthcoming year. Both the Assistant Manager and Manager /District Engineer of the District spend considerable time managing the FOG program and working to decrease the number and severity of SSOs. The District is subject to fines, regulatory action, and third party lawsuits for the incidence of sewer spills. The number and severity of spills is considered the measuring stick of sewer agencies. The Garden Grove Sanitary District recently settled a federal lawsuit from the Orange County Coastkeepers for violations of the Clean Water Act. The District originally structured the FOG control program to allow a decrease of the consultant's time with a corresponding increase of District staff time with the two District sewer inspectors and the District's Ordinance Enforcement Officer increasing their duties to handle the time needed. However, additional demands in their respective areas precluded their transfer to this program so the level of consultant time remained level for the first four years of the FOG program and is proposed to remain at this level. The CMSD Manager /District Engineer is a member of the regional steering committee for WDR understanding and compliance and the District's Assistant Manager is responsible for the detailed reporting of sewer spills. The District also recently entered into an agreement to have the Orange County Health Care Agency (OCHCA) inspectors check for FOG program compliance during one of their three yearly inspections of food service establishments (FSEs.) In order to better understand the consultant's role in the FOG program, the proposed scope of work from EEC is attached. Discussions between the Manager /District Engineer and EEC concluded that a budget of $100,000 was the minimum that would provide for a satisfactory program. A smaller budget would result in too few inspections and follow up. • Recommended appropriation - $100,000 13 • June 12, 2007 Mr. Rob Hamers Costa Mesa Sanitary District 234 East 17th Street Suite 205 Costa Mesa, California 92627 ENVIRONMENTAL ENGINEERING & CONTRACTING, INC. 501 Parkcenter Drive, Santa Ana, CA 92705 Phone (714) 667 -2300 Fax (714) 667 -2310 Subject: Proposal and Cost Estimate for Waste Discharge Requirements Fats, Oils, and Grease (FOG) Control Program Phase IV, CMSD Project 180 Dear Mr. Hamers, Environmental Engineering & Contracting, Inc. (EEC) is pleased to present this proposal to provide Waste Discharge Requirements Fats, Oils, and Grease (FOG) Control Program Phase IV services for the Costa Mesa Sanitary District (District). These services will be performed in accordance with the District's FOG Control Program Manual and Grease Control Regulations Ordinance to comply with the State Water Resources Control Board Statewide General Waste Discharge Requirements for Sanitary Sewer Systems, Order No. 2006 -0003. The services described in this proposal intend to provide key services for an effective FOG control program. Pursuant to our previous discussions, the FOG Control Program services currently provided to the District equates to approximately 1.5 Full Time Equivalents (FTE). While the District's FOG Control Program continues to mature, fewer resources are needed to maintain an effective program. In order to maintain an effective FOG Control Program for the District and provide the necessary District presence and outreach to the FOG community, a minimum of 1 FTE is, required. The following scope of work includes FOG Program services, equating to approximately 1 FTE, to be provided from July 1, 2007 through June 30, 2008. SCOPE OF WORK The scope of work for the proposed FOG control program management and inspection services will include the following tasks: 1. Program Management Providing FOG control program management, including database and GIS management Providing a FOG control program assessment and recommendations Providing FOG Source Investigation oversight and support . Providing other support activities 13 a 0 F.FC, FOG Program 2007, Proposal, Costa Mesa Sanitary District 7nne 12, 2007 2. Inspections Conducting permitting inspections Conducting grease removal equipment (GRE) inspections Conducting kitchen best management practices (BMP) inspections Conducting combined kitchen BMP and GRE inspections Conducting compliance inspections Conducting CCTV source inspections 3. Enforcement Providing enforcement management Conducting enforcement inspections The specific details to these tasks are as follows: 1.0 PROGRAM MANAGEMENT 1.1 FOG CONTROL PROGRAM MANAGEMENT, INCLUDING DATABASE AND GIS MANAGEMENT EEC will: identify and prioritize food service establishment (FSE) inspections, including coordination with OCHCA; review and update the results of the FSE inspections into the associated database and GIS; and will develop database forms and reports, as appropriate, to summarize the findings of these inspections. On a monthly basis, EEC will report the activities conducted during the month, identify findings, and provide recommendations to the FOG Control Program Manager. These services are proposed to be performed monthly for the 12 month service period. 1.2 FOG CONTROL PROGRAM ASSESSMENT AND RECOMMENDATIONS At the end of the year period, EEC will conduct a FOG control program assessment and provide recommendations for program enhancement and resource management. This will include hot spot mitigation, FSE compliance status, and grease- related SSO status. 1.3 CCTV SOURCE INSPECTIONS EEC will assess hot spots to identify FSEs that are discharging FOG to the sewer collection system utilizing the District's CCTV staff or subcontractor. It is projected that 4 days of CCTV Source Inspections will be conducted during the next 12 months of the program. 1.4 ADDITIONAL AGENCY SUPPORT ACTIVITIIES 0 1 • Assist District personnel, as requested, to provide other support activities, such as: 138 • F.F.C:, FOG Program 2007, Proposal, Costa Mesa Sanitary District .Tune 12, 2007 Assist in developing FOG Policies (e.g., Grease Trap Usage, Additive Usage); • Assist in preparation for and/or attending Hot Spot and other Sewer System issue resolution meetings; • SSO investigation support; • Assist in training agency or other' agency staff on the District's FOG Program; • Assist in obtaining FOG Program or sewer related data from other agencies; and 0 Assist in preparation and/or attending meetings on FOG or sewer related issues. 2.0 INSPECTIONS The details are described below and also in the FSE Inspection Detail attached table. 2.1 PERMITTING INSPECTIONS EEC will physically inspect and educate FSEs within the District that are new to the FOG Program. These FSEs include new FSEs and existing FSEs that have a change in ownership or name change requiring re- permitting. For the sake of this proposal from July 2007 to June 2008, EEC will plan to perform 25 permitting inspections (quantity based on an estimation of approximately 7.5% of the total FSEs [ -370] in the program). For those FSE that have been identified in the vicinity of hot spots or identified as FOG sources, EEC will discuss, with the FSE management, the enforcement options that are available to the District and the steps that the FSE can take to avoid additional enforcement. 2.2 GREASE REMOVAL EQUIPMENT (GRE) INSPECTIONS EEC will physically conduct GRE inspections for FSEs with a grease interceptor or grease trap and is projecting to perform approximately 74 inspections. 2.3 KITCHEN BEST MANAGEMENT PRACTICE (BMP) INSPECTIONS EEC will physically conduct kitchen BMP inspections for FSEs without GREs and is projecting to perform approximately 160 inspections. 2.4 COMBINED KITCHEN BMP AND GRE INSPECTIONS EEC will physically conduct combined kitchen BMP and GRE inspections for FSEs and is projecting to perform approximately 150 inspections. C 13c, 2.5 COMPLIANCE INSPECTIONS Although it is difficult to estimate the amount of non - compliance at this time, EEC will plan to perform compliance inspections at 75 FSEs due to non - compliance issues or on- going hot spot source identification. This may include the issuance of written warnings or notice of violations (NOVs) to FSEs that are found to be in non - compliance of the FOG control ordinance or permit. 3.0 ENFORCEMENT 3.1 ENFORCEMENT MANAGEMENT Based on the results of the CCTV Source Inspections and continued NOVs, EEC will review, provide recommendations, and assist the District staff and FOG Control Program Manager in the enforcement process. For the sake of this proposal, EEC is assuming that enforcement management will be required for 4 FSEs. 3.2 ENFORCEMENT INSPECTIONS Although it is difficult to estimate the amount of enforcement required at this time, EEC will plan to perform enforcement inspections at 4 FSEs (2 visits per FSE for a total of 8) during the next 12 months of the program. Due to the serious nature of these inspections, EEC will attempt to meet with the FSE manager or property owner to discuss the enforcement and the FSE's plans to achieve compliance. COST ESTIMATE Based on the aforementioned scope of work, EEC has identified the projected costs (identified as either a time- and - material estimate or unit based cost) for each of the tasks as follows: July 1, 2007 through June 30, 2008 Description Units Rate Subtotal Total 1.1 Program Management Fixed 12 months $ 3,300 $39,600 1.2 Annual Assessment Fixed 1 $ 3,000 $3,000 1.3 Additional Agency Support T &M 1 $ 3,000 $3,000 1.4 CCTV Source Inspection Oversight T &M 1 $ 4,000 $4,000 $49,600 4 k3 0 The total projected cost is $99,809 (not -to- exceed) to complete the aforementioned scope of work.

I *)G C,, 0 Project #182 - Analysis of CCTV Results $125,000 • As of June 2007, the District -wide closed circuit televising (CCTV) project is 50% complete with an expected completion date of June 2008. The CCTV project is being completed under the Orange County Sanitation District's (OCSD) Cooperative Projects Program and OCSD is funding 50% of the televising. OCSD's goal is to identify sources and decrease the volume of inflow and infiltration (1 /1) at the treatment plants. The televising was originally scheduled for completion in November 2006 but was extended with the approval of OCSD due to finding significant amounts of debris in the system. Inflow is surface water that finds its way into the sewer system through manhole covers or illegal storm drain connections and infiltration is water that enters the system underground through misaligned joints and cracks in the line. OCSD's flow doubles from 240 million gallons per day (MGD) to 480 MGD during significant storm events. All 1.2 million feet of the CMSD sewer mains are being televised by National Plant Services (NPS) and graded using the NAASCO PACP grading system. This project proposes to analyze the results and formulate a rehabilitation program. The grading system places a 5 on sewer lines that are in need of immediate repair and a 4 on lines that much be watched closely. The analysis may also include identifying sewer lateral connections to the main line that have root masses and then notifying the corresponding property owner. The analysis of CCTV Results will begin with comparing all the 5 scores and then ranking them for the forthcoming repair program. A yearly rehabilitation project is included in the 5 -year CIP beginning with the 2008- 2009 fiscal year. Included in the proposed appropriation is the purchase of the specialized software Wincam and extra hard drive space that is needed to manage the data in the approximate amount of $15,000. The project is expected to last at least six months and cannot be completed until after all the lines have been televised. Proposed appropriation $125,000 14 °V' Ll • NA 0 Proiect #186 — Sewer Lateral Assistance Program $100,000 • The State Water Resources Control Board recognizes that private property sewer spills are not the responsibility of the public sewer agency but the number of private property spills is significant and needs to be addressed. CMSD Director Gary Monahan became concerned at the significant cost, of sewer lateral repair, particularly if the problem is located in the street. Because many property owners are unable to service their sewer laterals due to the lack of a cleanout, Director Monahan proposed an incentive program where the District would financially assist the property owner. Prior to beginning the program, the CMSD Attorney will be preparing an ordinance where the Board of Directors will make findings that the use of public money to assist private property owners is for the good of the public due to decreasing the chances of sewer spills, and that the program does not constitute a gift of public funds. The WDR requirements already include an outreach and education program and a few other agencies already have lateral programs. The CMSD Sewer System Committee is developing standards for the incentive program including possibly contributing to televising the lateral and constructing a cleanout. With a cleanout and periodic maintenance program, the laterals will function more reliably and be less inclined to need expensive reconstruction at a later date. The Committee's contribution to a particular property will be approximately $1,200 based on current estimates of costs, and with a project budget of $100,000, approximately 86 laterals can be addressed. The 5 -year CIP includes a yearly contribution of $100,000 to the program. Means of identifying candidates for the, incentive program include property owners who require the services of a plumber, property owners whose laterals have roots protruding into the mainline as seen in the District -wide televising program, and property owners who experience slow moving water. Proposed appropriation $100,000 15 s • Notes to 2007 -2008 Capital Improvement Program: Project #173 — South Coast Plaza Force Main Replacement — Planned D_ elay The force main replacement project was initiated due to a severe break in the force main as it passed under a storm drain box culvert of which the property owner states they have no construction plans. Without the plans, it was impossible to review the sewer -storm drain crossing protection methods and determine the cause of the break. The force main was originally dedicated to the Sanitary District after it was constructed as a private facility but when the property owner realized they did not have the capability of maintaining the pumping station, force main, and gravity sewer. The CMSD accepted dedication of the facility but never inspected the installation nor was sure of the standards used during construction. Because of this uncertainty, and because of the rupture in the line, and because the infrastructure was constructed in the early 1960s implying the force main was 47 years old, the CMSD added the planned replacement of the force main to the yearly Capital Improvement Program. However, when Bloomingdales (the successor to the May Company) was performing construction and exposed a portion of the force main, it was found to be in good condition and did not appear in need of replacement. Therefore, the proposed delay was brought to the Board of Directors and approved. The construction plans are complete and will be held until it is determined to replace the force main as part of the force main planned replacement program. The construction funds were transferred to the operations and maintenance program. 16 COSTA 911ESA SANYTART(DISTRICT Memorandum ... an Independent Special 1District To: Board of Directors From: Marc Davis, Treasurer /Director of Finance f� Date: July 9, 2007 Subject: Statement of Investment Policy for Fiscal Year 2007 -08 Recommended Action Adopt Resolution No. 2007 -736 adopting a Statement of Investment Policy for fiscal year 2007 -08 and delegating certain investment functions to the District Treasurer. 0 Executive Summary • Enclosed for consideration is the Statement of Investment Policy for the 2007 -08 fiscal year. Although a statement of investment policy is no longer required by the California Government Code to be adopted by the Board, Section 53646 of the Code allows the treasurer of a local agency to submit such an annual statement to the Board for consideration and review. Although no longer required, Staff believes it is prudent to continue to do so. The Statement of Investment Policy was reviewed with the Investment Oversight Committee at their meeting of June 14, 2007. There were no changes to the investments permitted by California law this past year. Thus there are no changes proposed to the District's investment policy from that which was adopted for the 2005- 06 fiscal year.

Clerk of the Costa Mesa Sanitary District • 2 COSTA MESA SANITARY DISTRICT Statement of Investment Policy Fiscal Year 2007 -08 I. PURPOSE ATTACHMENT 2 This statement is intended to formalize the various policies and procedures for the prudent investment of temporarily idle cash for the Costa Mesa Sanitary District. It outlines the investment - related activities, which comprise good cash management. In concert with these activities there are many facets of an appropriate secure short-term investment program, which will enhance the economic condition of the District while safeguarding its assets. 11. INVESTMENT SELECTION OBJECTIVE The District strives to maintain the level of investment of all idle funds as near 100% as possible. All temporarily pooled idle cash is invested under the "Prudent Man Rule" (Civil Code Sect. 2261, et seq.) which states, in essence: "in investing... property for the benefit of another, a trustee shall exercise the judgment and care, under the circumstances then prevailing, which men of prudence, discretion and intelligence exercise in the management of their own affairs..." This affords the District a broad spectrum of investment opportunities as long as the investment is deemed prudent and is allowable under current legislation of the State of California Government Code Section 53600 et seq. and the Costa Mesa Sanitary District Statement of Investment Policy. The District Treasurer, after meeting the legality, safety, liquidity and diversification criteria, will attempt to obtain the highest yield possible. The criteria for selecting investments, in order of priority are: 1. Le all - The District's investments must conform to federal laws, state statutes, District ordinances and internal policies and procedures. The District has established internal controls to ensure that investment activities comply with all applicable statutes, ordinances and policies. 2. Safe - The safety and risk associated with an investment refers to the potential loss of principal, interest or a combination of these amounts. The District only operates in those investments that are considered very safe. 3. Liquidity - This refers to the ability to "cash in" at any moment in time with a minimal chance of losing, some portion of principal or interest. The District's investment portfolio will remain sufficiently liquid to enable the District to meet all operating requirements as well as unanticipated needs for funds. • ATTACHMENT 2 COSTA MESA SANITARY DISTRICT Statement of Investment Policy Fiscal Year 2007 -08 • 4. Diversification - The District's investment portfolio will be sufficiently diversified to avoid incurring unreasonable risks resulting from saturation of assets in specific security types, maturities or individual financial institutions. 5. Yield - Yield is the potential dollar earnings an investment can provide, and sometimes is described as the rate of return. The basic premise underlying the District's investment philosophy is to ensure that funds are always safe and available when needed. The District does not buy stocks, speculate or deal in futures or options. Any investment extending beyond a five -year period requires prior District Board approval. III. AUTHORIZED INVESTMENTS The District limits its investments to the following vehicles: US Treasury Bills US Treasury Notes Federal Agency Issues - Examples include: • Federal Intermediate Credit Bank Debentures (FICB) • • Federal Farm Credit Bank (FFCB) • Federal Land Bank Bonds (FLB) • Federal Home Loan Bank Notes and Bonds (FHLB) • Federal National Mortgage Association (FNMA) • Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (FHLMC) Banker's Acceptances Certificates of Deposit (CD) Negotiable Certificates of Deposit Commercial Paper Medium Term Corporate Notes Money Market Mutual Funds Passbook Savings Account Local Agency Investment Fund (LAIF) IV. DELEGATION OF AUTHORITY The District Board hereby delegates its authority to invest surplus District funds to the Treasurer /Director of Finance (hereinafter referred to as District Treasurer). Delegation of the investment function by the District Board is limited to a one -year period. Failure to • 2 ATTACHMENT 2 COSTA MESA SANITARY DISTRICT Statement of Investment Policy Fiscal Year 2007 -08 delegate deems the District Board to be trustee and fiduciary, therefore subject to the prudent investor standard. V. INTERNAL CONTROLS A system of internal control shall be established and documented in writing. The controls shall be designed to prevent loss of public funds arising from irregularities, employee error, misrepresentation of third parties, unanticipated changes in financial markets, or imprudent actions by employees and officers of the District. Controls deemed most important include: control of collusion, separation of duties, custodial safekeeping, clear delegation of authority, confirmation of transactions, minimizing the number of authorized investment officials, documentation of transactions and strategies, and code of ethics standards. VI. REPORTING Under provisions of Section 53607 of the California Government Code, the District Treasurer shall submit a monthly investment report to the District Board. This report will list the type of investment, institution, date of maturity, amount of deposit, rate of interest, current market value of securities with maturities in excess of 12 months, source of market valuations, and statement of compliance. Also provided shall be a schedule of market values maturing by date and type, and such other data as required by the District Board. VII. LEGAL CONSTRAINTS . Surplus funds must be deposited in state or national banks, state or federal savings associations or federal credit unions within the State of California. These deposits cannot exceed the amount of the institution's paid -up capital and surplus. The bank or savings and loan must secure public funds deposits with eligible securities having a market value of 110% of the total amount of the deposits or first trust deeds having a value of 150% of the total amount of the deposits. A third class of collateral is a 105% letter of credit drawn on the Federal Home Loan Bank. The District Treasurer may waive security for that portion of a deposit, which is insured pursuant to Federal law. Currently, the first $100,000 of a deposit is federally insured. Deposits over $100,000 are collateralized as indicated above. • 3 ATTACHMENT 2 COSTA MESA SANITARY DISTRICT Statement of Investment Policy Fiscal Year 2007 -08 VIII. DERIVATIVES The term derivative is a commonly used name that describes a variety of securities whose values are "derived from" the value of another asset, a reference rate or an index. Investment in derivative instruments is limited to securities that have periodic increases, or step -up interest rate adjustments that provide an increased yield. Investment in callable securities is also allowed, but must comply with other restrictions as specified in this Investment Policy. Derivative securities known as "inverse floaters" and other such securities that produce higher yields when purchased but have the possibility of producing low or no return through the life of the security, are not allowable. IX. BOND PROCEEDS When investing bond proceeds, the Costa Mesa Sanitary District will adhere to this Investment Policy when determining appropriate instruments for placing monies. If the bond's trust agreement is more restrictive than the District's Policy, then the trust agreement supersedes the District's Policy. The District may delegate it's responsibly to the fiscal agent to ensure compliance with the bond covenants when managing bond proceeds on behalf of the District. Borrowing money solely for the purpose of investing and earning arbitrage is specifically prohibited. X. GRANDFATHER PROVISIONS The Costa Mesa Sanitary District investment strategy is to buy and hold until maturity. As legislation and the District's Statement of Investment Policy change, certain investments may become prohibited. Under Section 53601.6 of the California Government Code, the District may hold prohibited investments until their maturity to avoid incurring a loss. This allows the District to "grandfather" in securities purchased prior to the effective date of new legislation. When selling securities prior to maturity, losses are only acceptable if the proposed swap /trade can clearly enhance yield (value) over the life of the new security on a total return basis, or to prevent the further loss of principal. Sufficient written documentation to facilitate the audit of the transaction must be maintained. In the event that an issuer's rating is downgraded from when the security was purchased, the District Treasurer's awareness is heightened and the security will be closely monitored to determine if credit risk has been significantly increased. The District Treasurer will evaluate the need to sell the security prior to maturity. • 4 0 ATTACHMENT 2 COSTA MESA SANITARY DISTRICT Statement of Investment Policy Fiscal Year 2007 -08 XI.

GUIDELINES ATTACHMENT 2 Guidelines are established to direct and control activities in such a manner that previously established goals are achieved. 1. Investment Transaction: Every investment transaction must be authorized and reviewed by the District Treasurer. 2. Pooled Cash: Whenever practical, cash is consolidated into one bank account and invested on a pooled concept basis. Interest earnings are allocated quarterly to each fund according to fund actual month -end cash balances. 3. Competitive Bids: Purchases and sales of securities are made on the basis of competitive offers and bids when practical. 4. Cash Forecasting: The cash flow for the District is projected with the receipt of revenues and maturity of investments scheduled so that adequate cash will be available to meet disbursement requirements. • 5. Investment Limitations: Security purchases and holdings are maintained within statutory limits imposed by the California Government Code. The District's current limits are: • Permitted Investments /Deposits US Government Securities Certificates of Deposit Bankers' Acceptances (1) Commercial Paper (1) Negotiable CDs (1) Medium Term Notes (1) LAI F Time Deposits District Policy Percent Maturi Unlimited 5 years 25% 1 year 25% 180 days 25% 270 days 25% 5 years 25% 5 years $40 million n/a Unlimited 5 years (1)Further limited to 10% in any single issuer Government Code Percent Maturity Unlimited 5 years Unlimited 5 years 40% 180 days 30% 270 days 30% 5 years 30% 5 years $40 million n/a Unlimited 5 years 6.

Diversification: The portfolio should consist of various types of securities, issuers, and maturities. 8. Evaluate Certificates of Deposit: a) Certificates of Deposit shall be evaluated in terms of FDIC coverage. The District does not purchase Certificates of Deposit in excess of $100,000. b) Negotiable Certificates of Deposit shall be evaluated in terms of the credit worthiness of the issuer, as these deposits are uninsured and uncollateralized promissory notes. II. STRATEGY Strategy refers to the ability to manage financial resources in the most advantageous manner. �J 1. Economic Forecasts: Economic forecasts are obtained periodically from economists and financial experts through bankers and brokers to assist with the formulation of an investment strategy for the local agency. 0 2. Implementing Investment Strategy: Investment transactions are executed which conform to anticipated interest rate trends and the current investment strategy plan. 3. Rapport: A close working relationship is maintained with large vendors of the District. The objective is to pinpoint when large disbursements will clear the District's bank account. It is essential for good cash control that such large expenditures be anticipated, estimated as to dollar amount, and communicated to the Treasurer for liquidity planning purposes. 4. Preserve Portfolio Value: Standards are developed in order to maintain earnings near the market and to preserve the value of the portfolio. III. AUDIT Annually, the District's external auditors review the District's portfolio and perform limited procedures related to compliance. Additionally, they review that purchase price, market value and maturity date for financial statement purposes. • 0 `.J ATTACHMENT 2 COSTA MESA SANITARY DISTRICT Investment Procedures — Internal Control Guidelines Fiscal Year 2007 -08 I. OBJECTIVES OF INTERNAL CONTROL Internal control is the plan of organization and all the related systems established by management's objective of ensuring, as far as practical: • The orderly and efficient conduct of its business, including adherence to management policies; • The safeguarding of assets; • The prevention or detection of errors and irregularities; • The accuracy and completeness of the accounting records; and • The timely preparation of reliable financial information. 11. LIMITATIONS OF INTERNAL CONTROL No internal control system, however elaborate, can by itself guarantee the achievement of management's objectives. Internal control can provide only reasonable assurance that the objectives are met, because of its inherent limitations, including: • Management's usual requirement that a control be cost - effective; • The direction of most controls at recurring, rather than unusual, types of transactions; • Human error due to misunderstanding, carelessness, fatigue or distraction of functions; and • The potential for a person responsible for exercising control abusing that responsibility. Frequently, a member of management is in a position to override controls which management has set up. III. ELEMENTS OF INTERNAL CONTROL Elements of a system of internal control are the means by which an organization can satisfy the objectives of internal control. These elements are: 1. Organization: Specific responsibility for the performance of duties should be assigned and lines of authority and reporting clearly identified and understood. 2. Personnel: Personnel should have capabilities commensurate with their responsibilities. Personnel selection and training policies, together with the quality and quantity of supervision, are thus important. ATTACHMENT 2 COSTA MESA SANITARY DISTRICT Investment Procedures — Internal Control Guidelines Fiscal Year 2007 -08 3. Segregation of Functions: Segregation of incompatible functions reduces the risk that a person is in a position both to perpetrate and conceal errors or irregularities in the normal course of duty. If different people handle two parts of a transaction, collusion is necessary to conceal errors or irregularities. In particular, the functions that should be considered when evaluating segregation of functions are authorization, execution, recording, custody of assets, and performing reconciliations. 4. Authorization: An appropriate responsible individual should authorize all transactions. The responsibilities and limits of authorization should be clearly delineated. The authorization for a specific transaction or granting general authority for transactions should be to a position commensurate with the significance of the transactions. Delegation of authority to authorize transactions should be handled very carefully. 5. Controls Over an Accounting System: Controls over an accounting system include manual and computerized procedures carried out independently to ascertain that transactions are complete, valid, authorized and properly recorded. • • 10 • ATTACHMENT 2 COSTA MESA SANITARY DISTRICT Cash Controls Fiscal Year 2007 -08 I.
