C COSTA MESA SANITARY DISTRICT MINUTES OF BOARD OF DIRECTORS REGULAR MEETING r MAY 11,2006 PAGE 10 ANNIVERSARY LANE WATER LINE— IRWD Mr. Hamers reported he became aware that a new water line was slated for construction by the Irvine Ranch Water District on Anniversary Lane. IRWD does not notify agencies that have facilities in the street of any pending construction or provide plans for the agency's review. Mr. Hamers reported the Costa Mesa Sanitary District has a sewer main in the street right below the proposed IRWD water lines in Anniversary Lane. Mr. Hamers noted the water line is so close to the CMSD sewer that it violates the State of California Department of Health Services standards for sewer and water line separation. Mr. Hamers contacted Mr. Charles Borkman at IRWD to discuss the issue and ask IRWD to reconsider the location of the water line. Mr. Borkman said he would review the plans and admitted that revisions were appropriate. Mr. Hamers also contacted Mr. Michael Sinacori at the City of Newport Beach, the principal engineer in charge of the construction of the water line. The City of Newport Beach was the lead agency since it was a joint ® project and Newport Beach hired the contractor. Mr. Sinacori stated Mr. Borkman of IRWD claimed to have emailed PDF files of the revised plans, and since Mr. Hamers did not respond, that constituted approval and IRWD subsequently constructed the water lines. Mr. Hamers stated Mr. Borkman did not email PDF files to his office. Mr. Hamers contacted Mr. Borkman and stated that while upset about the misstatements to the City of Newport Beach, he would still be willing to accept a letter from IRWD that they assume responsibility for their water line if the CMSD has to excavate its line, predicated on approval from the Department of Health Services. Mr. Borkman has not communicated back and did not respond to subsequent phone calls. Mr. Hamers attended the IRWD Board of Directors meeting on April 24, 2006, to explain the situation under public comments. Mr. Hamers is filing a complaint with the State Department of Health Services for the location of the water line and is considering filing a complaint against the Director of Engineering's professional engineering license since he signed the plans as "approved" and his actions and policies do not meet the standard of care of engineers in the industry. Mr. Hamers went to the Department of Health Services office on April 25, 2006, and met with Shu-Fang Orr and her assistant Shiouling Chang. Mr. Hamers was informed that IRWD has been on notice since January 4, • • COSTA MESA SANITARY DISTRICT MINUTES OF BOARD OF DIRECTORS REGULAR MEETING : MAY 11,2006 cPAGE 11 2006 that the section of water line in question on Anniversary Lane is not allowed. Ms. Orr stated that construction in a special permission zone requires the approval of both DHS and the sewer agency. Therefore, IRWD will be required to pose a solution that meets the approval of the Department of Health Services and the Costa Mesa Sanitary District. PROJECT #180 — SEWER MAINTENANCE PROGRAM CAPITAL EQUIPMENT(FY-2006-2007) CONSIDER PURCHASE OF USED VACTOR TRUCK Mr. Hamers reported Mr. Dulake flew to Chicago on behalf of the District to look at a used 1987 Model 810 vactor truck to purchase. Mr. Dulake provided a report on the condition of the truck he was sent to see and stated that while it was in very good condition, it had 130,000 miles on it and had a steel tank, which would be prone to corrosion with the alkaline water in Costa Mesa. Replacement and repair parts would be difficult to obtain because this model truck is no longer being manufactured. The asking price on the Model 810 is $59,000. While there, Mr. Dulake saw a 1992 Model 2100 vactor truck with 75,000 miles on it that had just been returned from a lease arrangement. Mr. Dulake provided a detailed description of the alternate vehicle to the Board. The 1992 vehicle had an aluminum tank, lower mileage, and came with a longer warranty than the truck he had been investigating. The 1992 truck is still being manufactured today, making parts readily available. Asking price on the 1992 vehicle is $89,000. Mr. Dulake also explained he has searched the United States for vactor trucks and has a file of models and prices and that the current truck has the best combination of price and quality. Board instructed Mr. Dulake to negotiate on the 1992 Model 2100 vactor truck with a beginning offer of $85,000, contingent to meeting the requirements of the California Vehicle Code Standards. If the $85,000 offer is rejected, Mr. Dulake is authorized to offer the full price of $89,000 for the vehicle. Director Schafer motioned to approve the purchase of the 1992 vactor truck, not to exceed $95,000, contingent to meeting the requirements of the California Vehicle Code Standards. Director Worthington seconded. Motion carried 5-0. • COSTA MESA SANITARY DISTRICT MINUTES OF BOARD OF DIRECTORS REGULAR MEETING MAY 11,2006 PAGE 12 TREASURER'S REPORTS FY-2006/2007 BUDGET SPECIAL MEETINGS Ms. Davis reported the FY- 2006/2007 budget meeting is scheduled for May 25, 2006.

Ms. Davis reported the current Direct Fiscal Services cost is $191,000. The District was paying $150,000 to the City of Costa Mesa for the services of a treasury, accounting, and purchasing divisions with the finance department. Ms. Davis reported a comparison of services provided to the District by the City of Costa Mesa verses the District's own staff is not possible since the types of services have changed substantially in the last two years and the current District Staff is providing more comprehensive services. Discussion was held regarding hiring a receptionist/assistant in the near future. It is envisioned this position would provide support as a receptionist as well as general assistance to all staff members. Mr. Hamers reported the District is considering partial year billing and would benefit from having an additional staff member to assist with the additional workload partial year billing would require.
