Scavenging: In the month March, there were no calls to the District HQ to report scavenging activity. However, there were scavenging incidents observed directly by the OEO to report. Areas and times were scavenging was observed by the OEO: DATE TIME ADDRESSES. i .. 03/07/2011 9:30am 200-300 Block of Avocado St, 500-700 Block of Joann St 03/08/2011 7:40am 700 Block of W. 18 St, 700 Block of Shalimar St 03/11/2019 8:45am 3000 Block of Fillmore Way 03/14/2011 7:15am 750 Block of Center St, 1900 Block of Federal Ave 03/15/2011 9:15am 1600-1650 Block of Fullerton Ave 03/21/2011 8:35am 400-500 Block of Bernard St In the above incidents, the OEO made contact with the offender, took as much personal information from them as possible (took pictures if able), and gave them a verbal warning to stop scavenging. Attached are pictures of scavengers observed in the community. Graffiti: OEO continues to work with Frank Campos (CR&R) to target areas that need attention regarding graffiti removal from trash containers. The following addresses where submitted to Mr. Campos on March 28, 2011: 2000 Blocks of Palace Avenue, Wallace Avenue, Sterling Avenue, and the 700 Block of W. 20th Street. The area has Protecting our community's health and the environment by providing solid waste and sewer collection services. www.crosdca.go v Ordinance Enforcement Report April 18, 2011 Page 2 of 3 approximately 35-40 trash containers with graffiti on them. Mr. Campos will notify the OEO when the trash containers have been serviced by CR&R. Trash Container Enforcement: In the month of March, there were no calls to the District HQ to report residents who either store there trash containers in public view or leave their trash containers out on the street curb well after the trash has been picked up. However, increased surveillance was placed on Santa Ana Avenue (between Monte Vista Avenue and Mesa Drive) and neighboring streets to address several residents who leave their trash containers out on the street curb well after trash pick-up day. A summary of the courtesy notice process for the District OEO is provided in the following chart and demonstrates the effectiveness of a 1sf Notice": M rCh 'i-37 0'I 1 15t 507 Cou esy `N+o ce l, tter° South of Wilson St. 13 1 0 Wilson St. to Adams Ave. 15 5 0 Adams Ave. to Sunflower Ave. 1 7 1 0 1 0 In addition, the General Manager gave me a list of street addresses that are storing trash cans in public view, which is attached hereto. The list was provided by a resident in the community. On April 8, 2011 and April 15, 2011, the OEO visited several of the street addresses on the list and observed twenty locations where trash cans were in public view. These locations are below: Royal Palm Dr.: 2944 Ponderosa St.: 1598 & 1609 Myrtlewood St.: 1626 Andros St.: 2908 & 2929 Redwood: Ave.: 2917, 2924, 2964, & 2984 Oahu PL: 1658 & 1654 Sandalwood St.: 1608, 1629, & 1625 Palau PI.: 1617 Primrose St.: 1616 Minorca Dr.: 1633, 1639, & 1640 The residents at the addresses above received a warning notice that was placed on the lid of their trash cans. OEO will revisit the area on April 22, 2011 ensure compliance and to also increase surveillance in neighboring streets and the OEO will report his findings at today's Recycling Committee meetings. Other: On March 16, 2011, the OEO contacted the Chief Code Enforcement Officer for the City of Costa Mesa (CM), Willa Bouwens-Killen, to inquire about a ride-along with a CM Code Enforcement Officer (CEO). Ms. Bouwens-Killen, very accommodating, paired the District OEO with CM CEO Tim Sun for a ride-along on March 17, 2011, CEO Tim Sun was very cooperative and shared a wealth knowledge and expertise about CM and his job duties; knowledge and expertise that proved Board of Directors April 18, 2011 Page 3 of 3 beneficial to the District OEO. Mr. Sun shared some tips on how to approach different complaints or situations out on the field with a safety first mentality; for example, when making contact with a resident or a scavenger out on the street. He also took the District OEO on a drive through some of the areas of the city were scavenging is more common than other areas. Item No. V.

COSTA 9YESA S.A.AqTART(D1STRICT . . . iii pe Memorandum To: Recycling Committee From: Scott Carroll, General Manager1-r " Date: April 25, 2011 Subject: Per Capita Disposal Rate Summary As per direction of Chairman Fitzpatrick, below is an overview of the State's new disposal reporting method. Staff Recommendation That the Recycling Committee receives and files this report Analysis In 1989, the State Legislature passed a historic legislation, commonly known as the California Integrated Waste Management Act (AB 939); requiring local jurisdictions to divert 50% of their 1990 base-year refuse generation by the year 2000. Jurisdictions must continue to divert 50% of their refuse in proceeding years of 2000 or face possible fines of $10,000 a day. To calculate a jurisdiction's diversion rate, the State used a complicated method that used population, employment and inflation-adjusted taxable sales to estimate waste generation tons for each measurement year. It was time consuming and a lengthy process to complete and diversion rates could not be finalized for several years. In 2007, the State Legislature passed SIB 1016 that simplified calculating compliance measurements for AB 939. SIB 1016 accomplishes this by changing to a disposal- based indicator: the per capita disposal rate, which uses only two factors: a jurisdiction's population and its disposal as reported by disposal facilities. It creates a clearer picture of where a jurisdiction stands in their waste reduction efforts, but most importantly, SIB 1016 makes it easier to see where improvements are needed, and frees up resources to address those areas. Trotecting our community's heaftFi and the environment by providing soi'idwaste andsewer collection services, zarrrrrv.crosdca.gov Recycling Committee April 25, 2011 Page 2 of 3 The overall mandate has not changed. What has changed is how each jurisdiction's progress is measured to reach the 50 percent goal for diverting waste from landfills. This measurement. is no longer determinative of compliance. An important point to remember is that if a jurisdiction was at 50 percent under the old system, it is at 50 percent under the new system. In order for the Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery (CalRecycle) and jurisdictions to more properly focus on successful program implementation, SB 1016 shifts from the historical emphasis on using calculated generation and estimated diversion to using annual disposal as a factor when evaluating jurisdictions' program implementation. Overall benefits of the new approach include: • Focuses on diversion program implementation • Increases simplicity and timeliness of goal measurement • Allows for city, county or regional agency growth • Saves money and time by eliminating complex calculations • Increases CIWMB staff field presence • Adjusts CalRecycle review schedule for cities, counties, and regional agencies. Costa Mesa has met its diversion goal and is implementing programs in the CalRecycle 2005-06 Biennial Review, which are now on a four-year CalRecycle review cycle (over 350 jurisdictions). In order to shift to this new system, jurisdictions must have a measurement that translates AB 939's diversion goal into disposal-based language. This is the "50 percent equivalent per capita disposal target" -- the amount of disposal that is approximately equivalent to a jurisdiction's current 50 percent diversion requirement. CalRecycle has calculated this target for each jurisdiction. Under the new measurement system, to meet the 50 percent target, a jurisdiction needs to annually dispose of an amount equal to or less than its 50 percent equivalent per capita disposal target. The new per capita disposal rate approach is not determinative of a jurisdiction's compliance. CalRecycle will use each jurisdiction's annual per capita disposal as an indicator in evaluating program implementation. CalRecycle's evaluation will be focused on how jurisdictions are implementing programs that they chose. The review of each jurisdiction's compliance will still be on a case-by-case basis. Cities, counties, and regional agencies will not and cannot be compared to others or to a statewide average. Each jurisdiction's 50 percent equivalent per capita disposal target is unique because the target is based upon a jurisdiction's unique base-year generation. CalRecycle's goal is not only to assist local jurisdictions in the development and implementation of waste reduction programs, but also to provide assistance when those programs are not working as they should. If a jurisdiction is not meeting its 50 percent equivalent per capita disposal target, CalRecycle staff will work to help Recycling Committee April 25, 2011 Page 3of3 determine why that may be and work with the jurisdiction to make any necessary program modifications. The change in measurement does change how a jurisdiction will look at the numbers; however, the intent remains the same — waste reduction. Under the old system, if a jurisdiction diverted 50 percent or MORE of its waste, it had met its mandate and was moving in the right direction. Now, under SB 1016, if a jurisdiction's annual disposal rate is at or BELOW its 50 percent equivalent per capita disposal target that is a good thing and is an indicator of program performance. In short, the lower the annual disposal rate, the less waste we are generating, and thus the better we are doing. In Costa Mesa, the per capita disposal target is 8.5 Pounds per Day (PPD). According to the State's website, Costa Mesa is well exceeding the target. 2007 — 6.8 pounds per person per day 2008 — 6.2 pounds per person per day 2009 — 5.1 pounds per person per day Strategic Element & Goal This item supports achieving Strategic Element No. 2.0, Solid Waste and Goal No. 2.5, Encouraging zero waste.

Some residents have taken upon themselves to spray paint their home address on the automated cans so that no one else can mistakenly or intentionally take away the cans. As you can see in the attached pictures, these cans are unsightly and contribute blight in neighborhoods. Staff Recommendation That the Recycling Committee receives and files this report Analysis CR&R and the District OEO have teamed up together to eliminate this type of blight. The program is simple. The OEO will report spray painted trash cans to CR&R that include the quantity of trash cans along with their street addresses. CR&R will then stencil the address number on the lid of the trash cans and replace them with the blighted cans. As seen in the attached pictures the stencil trash containers can be easily identified by residents while at the same time improves the appearances of neighborhoods.

Chicago i i icipal pioneers tackling waste by controffing unwanted it and phione books Source: Catalog Choice Publication date: 2011-03-28 BERKELEY, CALIF.(March 8,2011)—More than 100 billion pieces of unsolicited mail are received by Americans each year—and municipalities foot the bill for waste collection and disposal. Today, the communities of Chicago, along with those of Tompkins County(Ithaca), N.Y.; Marion County(Salem), Ore.; Kansas City, Mo.—Kan.; and Berkeley, Calif.,will debut a zero-waste initiative that doubles as an innovative austerity program.The initiative is a Mail Preference Service designed by Catalog Choice to provide consumers greater control over the marketing materials that enter their mailboxes and, in turn, help cities shed millions of pounds of waste and thousands in costs. "From coast to coast, these leading cities are taking strides toward a zero-waste mission—and setting a positive precedent for consumer choice,"said Chuck Teller, Executive Director, Catalog Choice,the leading non-profit service for mail efficiency and privacy control. 'They are empowering their constituents to stop unwanted mail and phone books at the source while cutting costs for their city." The Numbers Direct mail advertising creates more than 10 billion pounds of solid waste each year. The annual cost to collect& dispose of advertising mail&phone books is at least$1 billion annually. 62%of advertising mail and phone books is not recycled. To support the city programs, Catalog Choice hosts a localized site for each locale on www.cataloachoice.ora,where citizens sign up to control the amount and scope of unsolicited mail they receive—eliminating unnecessary waste. The cities will receive detailed reporting on local participation by zip code, solid waste diversion and environmental benefits.With the annual collection and landfill cost of these mailings and phone books estimated at up to$10 per household,the cost savings for cities will be significant. Chicago Department of Environment Commissioner Suzanne Malec-McKenna said, "We've identified waste reduction as a crucial strategy to meet the goals of our Chicago Climate Action Plan. The Mail Preference Service with Catalog Choice will cut paper waste at the source, and offers an ease of use that we know Chicago citizens and businesses will appreciate." Catalog Choice connects 1.3 million consumers with 4,000 companies to fine-tune mailing lists. "This is a win-win service that enables both companies and communities to be more efficient and cut waste on all ends."added Teller. The Mail Preference Service is supported by the city governments or their partners. The sponsoring partner for Kansas City is Keep America Beautiful. For Ithaca,the sponsor is The Park Foundation. For Berkeley,the sponsor is the Kendeda Fund.
