County Sanitation District No. 6 is responsible for the collection, treatment and disposal of wastewater generated within its boundaries. These services are essential to the protection of the health and safety of the public served by the system. District No. 6 revenues from ad valorem taxes on real property decreased significantly after passage of Proposition 13 in 1978. Future tax revenue, estimated in reports on file in the office of the Secretary of the District, will be insufficient to provide the funding necessary to operate, maintain and rehabilitate the system. Therefore, a sewer service charge is necessary to supplement the District's revenue sources in the upcoming fiscal year. The Board of Directors of County Sanitation District No. 6 proposes consideration of an ordinance that will prescribe fees and charges for sanitary sewer services provided by the District to be charged to the respective parcels of property within the territorial jurisdiction of the District. This report contains a description of each parcel of real property that will receive the services of the District and have access to utilization of the facilities, said parcels of real property being described by reference to maps prepared in accordance with Section 327 of the California Revenue and Taxation Code and on file in the office of the County Assessor, which maps are hereby incorporated herein by reference. The Ordinance under consideration by the governing Board of Directors of the District will provide revenues that shall be used only for the acquisition, construction, reconstruction, maintenance, operation and rehabilitation of sanitary sewer facilities, and shall not be used for the acquisition, construction or maintenance of new local street sewers or laterals as distinguished from main trunk, interceptor and outfall sewers provided by the District. The proposed sewer service charge for fiscal year 1983-84 to be assessed against each user of the District's sewerage system based upon the average volume of wastewater discharged by a series of user classes is set forth in Table A, attached hereto. Said table also sets forth exemption provisions. The estimated 1983-84 charge for each parcel based on the last ecrualized assessment roll is on file in the office of the Secretary of the District. If the proposed ordinance is adopted, the Board of Directors may elect to have such charges for the forthcoming fiscal year collected on the tax roll in the same manner, by the same persons, and at the same time as, together with and not separately from, the general taxes of the District and the County of Orange. At the time stated in the notice setting the public hearing on this report, the governing Board of Directors shall hear and consider all objections or protests, if any, to said report referred to in said notice, and may continue the hearing from time to time.

Any property owner may appeal the assessment of the charges and submit a claim for rebate to the District on the forms prescribed and provided by the District, within one hundred twenty (120) days after the annual property tax bills are mailed by the Orange County Tax Collector. All applications for rebate of an assessment will be determined by the General Manager of the District, who may grant a partial or full rebate or adjustment of the charge based on receiving satisfactory proof that an inequity exists between the amount of assessment and the amount of wastewater discharged to the District's system. — Such inequities may include, but are not limited to: TABLE A (Continued) a) no service connection to the District system exists from the parcel assessed b) the actual use on the parcel differs from the use indicated by the assessment c) principal water use is agricultural d) any other use wherein the amount of wastewater discharged to the District's system is significantly less on a regular basis than the amount that would normally be expected to be discharged by the class of property in question. Pursuant to the authority granted by California Health and Safety Code Section 5473, all charges established herein shall be collected on the County Tax Roll in the same manner, by the same persons and at the same time as, together with and not separately from, its general taxes.

Said invoiced amount shall be due and payable within thirty (30) days of invoice date. A credit shall be allowed to all dischargers permitted pursuant to Article 3 of Ordinance No. 606 for the annual sanitary sewer service charge established by this Ordinance in the same manner as credit is allowed for ad valorem taxes pursuant to Sections 302.6, 303.6 and 304.5B4 of Ordinance No. 606. dInq_ 1 COUNTY SANITATION DISTRICT NO, 6 AGENDA ITEM (5) ORDINANCE NO. 607 �.1 AN ORDINANCE OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF COUNTY SANITATION DISTRICT NO. 6 ESTABLISHING SANITARY SEWER SERVICE CHARGES The Board of Directors of County Sanitation District No. 6 of Orange County, California, does hereby ORDAIN as follows : Section 1: Purpose.

FEE -4- r - THE EQUITABILITY OF THE SYSTEM OF CHARGES - EFFICIENCY OF OPERATION - WHETHER OR NOT THE PROPOSED FEES WOULD BE USED TO PAY FOR SEWERS TO ACCOMODATE GROWTH - THE RELATIONSHIP OF THE LOCAL SYSTEM PROVIDED BY CMSD AND THE REGIONAL SYSTEM OF THE SANITATION DISTRICT NO. 6 AT THIS POINT I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO INTERJECT THAT OF THE RESPONSE CARDS ATTACHED TO THE MAILED NOTICE, 512 WERE RETURNED. - 31% FELT THEIR PROPERTY WAS NOT CONNECTED OR WERE UNSURE, OR FELT THEIR FEE SHOULD BE MODIFIED - 42% QUESTIONED THE DATA BASE INFORMATION OR THE CALCULATION - 2% ADVISED US OF A CHANGE OF OWNERSHIP 4% QUESTIONED THE PROP. 13 ISSUE 18% JUST RETURNED THE CARD WITHOUT COMMENT BECAUSE THEY THOUGHT THEY WERE SUPPOSED TO - 3% HAD MISCELLANEOUS COMMENTS - 2 PEOPLE SENT IN A CHECK IN PAYMENT OF THE FEES -5- - WE ALSO RECEIVED 205 TELEPHONE CALLS ASKING BASICALLY THE SAME QUESTIONS STAFF RESPONSE TO PUBLIC COMMENTARY TO DATE - WITH REGARD TO PROPOSITION 13 - WE RECOGNIZE THAT PROPOSITION 13 IS AN IMPORTANT ISSUE WITH THE TAXPAYERS, THAT IT WAS A VOTE TO REDUCE THE COST OF GOVERNMENT. THERE PROBABLY ISN' T A PERSON IN THIS ROOM THAT DOESN' T AGREE - AT LEAST IN PRINCIPLE - WITH ITS CONCEPT - BUT MANY CITIZENS HAVE TOLD US THAT WHEN THEY VOTED FOR IT THEY THOUGHT THAT THE �..' SO-CALLED ESSENTIAL SERVICES - THE PROPERTY-RELATED SERVICES - IF YOU WILL - POLICE, FIRE, WATER AND SEWER, WOULD BE FULLY-FUNDED AND THAT OTHER GOVERNMENTAL SERVICES WOULD SHARE IN WHAT WAS LEFT OVER FROM THE 1% LEVY - UNFORTUNATELY FOR OUR DISTRICTS, THAT DIDN' T HAPPEN. THE STATE LEGISLATURE DECIDED THAT ALL GOVERNMENTAL AGENCIES WOULD DIVIDE THE MONEY BASED ON THEIR PREVIOUS HISTORICAL RATIO OF TAX REVENUE -6- - IN FACT, IN THE IMPLEMENTING LEGISLATION, SB 154, SIGNED BY THE GOVERNOR ON JUNE 24, 1978 (WHICH WAS LATER SUPPLEMENTED BY AB 8), THE LEGISLATURE WENT SO FAR AS TO DECLARE ITS INTENT TO REMOVE ANY SPECIAL DISTRICT WITH THE STATUTORY AUTHORITY TO LEVY USER CHARGES - WHICH OUR DISTRICTS HAVE - FROM THE TAX ROLL ENTIRELY - FORTUNATELY, THAT HAS NOT COME TO PASS, OR WE WOULD ALL BE PAYING HIGHER TAXES - CMSD & CSDOC ARE OPERATING UTILITIES - JUST THE SAME AS THE GAS COMPANY AND THE EDISON COMPANY - THE ONLY DIFFERENCE IS THAT THEY OPERATE UNDER A DIFFERENT SECTION OF THE LAW - THEIR SOLE FUNCTION IS THE COLLECTION, TREATMENT AND DISPOSAL OF SEWAGE - THEY PERFORM NO OTHER SERVICES (WITH THE ONE EXCEPTION THAT CMSD ALSO PERFORMS TRASH COLLECTION SERVICES) - WE DO NOT HAVE THE PROBLEM OF CONVINCING ANYONE THAT WE HAVE A SERVICE TO OFFER THAT THEY NEED - THE DISTRICTS' ROLE IS TO PROTECT THE PUBLIC HEALTH AND SAFETY -7- r UNFORTUNATELY, PROPOSITION 13 REDUCED DISTRICT REVENUES BY OVER 60%. FIVE YEARS LATER WE ARE STILL RECEIVING LESS THAN WE DID PRIOR TO ITS ADOPTION. WITH HIGHER ENERGY COSTS, THE EFFECTS OF LONG-TERM INFLATION AND MORE STRINGENT TREATMENT REQUIREMENTS MANDATED BY FEDERAL AND STATE REGULATORY AGENCIES, WE SIMPLY CANNOT PROVIDE THAT PROTECTION FACED WITH SUCH A DEFICIT - WITH REGARD TO WHETHER IT IS A TAX OR A FEE THERE IS NO DOUBT THAT IT IS A FEE - THE PROPOSED FEES ARE BASED UPON USE WHEREAS PROPERTY TAXES ARE BASED ON THE VALUE OF THE PROPERTY AND HAVE NO DIRECT RELATIONSHIP TO USE - FURTHER, THE DISTRICTS HAVE HAD STATUTORY AUTHORITY SINCE THEIR ENABLING LEGISLATION - LONG BEFORE PROPOSITION 13 - TO ADOPT USE FEES AND TO COLLECT THEM ON THE PROPERTY TAX BILL - THE REASON WE PROPOSE TO COLLECT THE FEE ON THE TAX BILL IS THAT IT IS THE MOST COST-EFFECTIVE METHOD - THE PROPERTY TAX BILL IS A MECHANISM THAT IS ALREADY IN PLACE AND IS THEREFORE THE MOST CONVENIENT AND LEAST COSTLY METHOD. ANY OTHER METHOD WOULD BE CONSIDERABLY MORE EXPENSIVE, THE COST OF WHICH WOULD HAVE TO BE ADDED TO THE USE FEE AND, THUS, INCREASE IT - THERE IS NO USE FEE SYSTEM FOR SEWER SERVICES THAT IS TOTALLY EQUITABLE - THIS IS THE REASON THE PROPOSED PROCEDURES PROVIDE FOR AN APPEAL PROCESS TO ENABLE AN ADJUSTMENT OF FEES 'WHERE A GROSS INEQUITY IS DEMONSTRATED - WE HAVE DEVELOPED OUR PROPOSED CHARGES FROM STUDIES THAT HAVE DETERMINED THE AVERAGE USES FOR THE VARIOUS CLASSES OF USERS - BASED ON THIS AND THE FUNDING REQUIREMENTS OF THE DISTRICTS, WE HAVE PROPOSED SEPARATE RATES FOR SINGLE-FAMILY DWELLINGS, MULTI-FAMILY DWELLINGS AND COMMERCIAL/INDUSTRIAL USERS I MIGHT ADD PARENTHETICALLY THAT LARGE COMMERCIAL OR INDUSTRIAL DISCHARGERS THAT PLACE AN INORDINANT DEMAND ON OUR SYSTEM ARE SUBJECT TO A SURCHARGE UNDER A -9- SEPARATE INDUSTRIAL WASTE ORDINANCE THAT HAS BEEN IN EFFECT SINCE 1976 NOW, SOME HAVE SUGGESTED THAT WE INSTALL METERS AND MEASURE THE SEWAGE DISCHARGE - FIRST, THERE IS NO RELIABLE SEWAGE METERING DEVICE THAT MEASURES FLOW FROM HOUSEHOLD AND OTHER SMALL CONNECTIONS EVEN IF THERE WERE, I WOULD NOT HAZARD A GUESS AT THE COST TO PURCHASE 27, 000 METERS, DIG 27, 000 HOLES IN THE STREET AND THE FRONT YARDS OF PROPERTY OWNERS TO INSTALL THEM AND THEN THE ONGOING EXPENSE `..� OF MAINTAINING OTHERS HAVE SUGGESTED THAT WE BASE THE CHARGE ON THE WATER USAGE. THIS METHOD IS WROUGHT WITH PROBLEMS ALSO - FIRST, THERE ARE INHERENT INEQUITIES BECAUSE ALL OF THE WATER THAT IS USED THAT DOES NOT END UP IN THE SEWER - AN EVEN BIGGER PROBLEM IS THE FACT THERE ARE FOUR SEPARATE WATER PURVEYORS IN THE DISTRICTS -1 O- - EACH WITH ITS OWN SEPARATE SYSTEM SOME OF WHICH ARE NOT VOLUME BASED BUT, RATHER, USE A FLAT RATE, NONE OF WHICH ARE CURRENTLY COMPATIBLE WITH OUR SYSTEMS - IT WOULD BE MOST DIFFICULT AND EXPENSIVE TO DESIGN A BILLING SYSTEM THAT WOULD BE COMPATIBLE FOR 6 SEPARATE AGENCIES, EITHER TO TRANSFER TO THE PROPERTY TAX BILL OR TO INSTITUTE A SEPARATE BILLING SYSTEM AND WOULD SUBSTANTIALLY INCREASE THE COSTS OF ADMINISTERING THE SYSTEM, ADDING 15% TO 20% TO THE COST - FURTHER, OUR EXPERIENCE IS THAT THE WATER AGENCIES ARE NOT OVERLY ENTHUSIASTIC ABOUT UNDERTAKING THE HEADACHES ASSOCIATED WITH COLLECTING A SEWER SERVICE CHARGE VIA THEIR WATER BILL THAT IS WHY WE FEEL - ALL FACTORS CONSIDERED - THE PROPOSED SYSTEM IS THE BEST ONE AVAILABLE AT THIS TIME, THAT IT ACHIEVES REASONABLE EQUITY WITHOUT INCURRING HIGH COSTS OF ADMINISTRATION -11- AT THIS TIME I WOULD LIKE TO POINT OUT THAT BASED ON THE PUBLIC COMMENTARY ON THE EQUITY ISSUE, WE ARE RECOMMENDING A CHANGE IN THE PROPOSED FEE SCHEDULE. THE PROPOSED MODIFICATIONS ARE SUMMARIZED ON THE GOLDENROD SHEET IN THE DIRECTORS FOLDERS AND MADE AVAILABLE TO THE PUBLIC IN THE LOBBY. CONDOM IN I UMS CONDOMINIUMS ARE CONSIDERED SINGLE-FAMILY DWELLINGS.

CMSD IS FURTHER RECOMMENDING A REDUCTION OF THEIR ENTIRE FEE SCHEDULE AND CSD N0. 6 A REDUCTION IN THE MINIMUM ANNUAL FEE FOR COMMERCIAL/INDUSTRIAL PROPERTIES IT MUST BE UNDERSTOOD THAT WE ARE WORKING WITH AN IMPERFECT DATA BASE, BUT AS WE ARE ABLE TO REFINE THE DATA BASE IN THE FUTURE, THE STAFF WILL CERTAINLY PRESENT APPROPRIATE RECOMMENDATIONS TO THE BOARD TO LEVEL OUT ANY OTHER APPARENT INEQUITIES THAT SURFACE - HOWEVER, I REITERATE, THE PROPOSED PROCEDURES DO PROVIDE A MECHANISM WHEREIN GROSS INEQUITIES CAN BE CORRECTED ON A CASE-BY-CASE BASIS -13- ON THE ISSUE OF EFFICIENCY OF OPERATIONS LET ME JUST TOUCH ON SOME OF THE THINGS THAT YOUR DISTRICTS DO TO KEEP COSTS DOWN - THE CMSD DOES NOT HAVE ANY FULL-TIME, PERMANENT EMPLOYEES.

County Sanitation District No. 6 is responsible for the collection, treatment and disposal of wastewater generated within its boundaries. These services are essential to the protection of the health and safety of the public served by the system. District No. 6 revenues from ad valorem taxes on real property decreased significantly after passage of Proposition 13 in 1978. Future tax revenue, estimated in reports on file in the office of the Secretary of the District, will be insufficient to provide the funding necessary to operate, maintain and rehabilitate the system. Therefore, a sewer service charge is necessary to supplement the District's revenue sources in the upcoming fiscal year. The Board of Directors of County Sanitation District No. 6 proposes consideration of an ordinance that will prescribe fees and charges for sanitary sewer services provided by the District to be charged to the respective parcels of property within the territorial jurisdiction of the District. This report contains a description of each parcel of real property that will receive the services of the District and have access to utilization of the facilities, said parcels of real property being described by reference to maps prepared in accordance with Section 327 of the California Revenue and Taxation Code and on file in the office of the County Assessor, which maps are hereby incorporated herein by reference. The Ordinance under consideration by the governing Board of Directors of the District will provide revenues that shall be used only for the acquisition, construction, reconstruction, maintenance, operation and rehabilitation of sanitary sewer facilities, and shall not be used for the acquisition, construction or maintenance of new local street sewers or laterals as distinguished from main trunk, interceptor and outfall sewers provided by the District. The proposed sewer service charge for fiscal year 1983-84 to be assessed against each user of the District' s sewerage system based upon the average volume of wastewater discharged by a series of user classes is set forth in Table A, attached hereto. Said table also sets forth exemption provisions. The estimated 1983-84 charge for each parcel based on the last equalized assessment roll is on file in the office of the Secretary of the District. If the proposed ordinance is adopted, the Board of Directors may elect to have such charges for the forthcoming fiscal year collected on the tax roll in the same manner, by the same persons, and at the same time as, together with and not separately from, the general taxes of the District and the County of Orange. At the time stated in the notice setting the public hearing on this report, the governing Board of Directors shall hear and consider all objections or protests, if any, to said report referred to in said notice, and may continue the hearing from time to time. William H. Butler, Director of Finance TABLE A Class of Basis of 1983-84 Minimum Annual User Charge Annual Rate Charge Per Unit Single-Family Charge per $26.40 $26.40 Dwellings dwelling unit Multi-Family Charge per 15.85 15.85 Dwellings/Mobile dwelling unit Homes Commercial/ Charge per 1,000 18.90 18.90 Industrial/Other sq. ft. of building Condominiums: Condominiums are considered single-family dwellings. However, in recognition of the limited potential use of small, converted dwelling units, the owner of a single unit may apply for a reduction of the annual rate from $26.40 to $15.85, provided the unit has less than 11 plumbing fixture units (determined as follows) : Fixture Units Assigned by Uniform Building Code Single bath with tub, water 7 Fixture Units closet and wash basin Kitchen with sink and/or 2 Fixture Units dishwasher Laundry facilities 2 Fixture Units 11 Commercial/Industrial: To recognize buildings in this classification where the use of the sewer system may not be directly related to the size of the building such as in a warehousing type of use, any owner of a single building may apply for, a reduction of the calculated fee to a minimum annual fee of $15.85, provided said building contains less than 11 plumbing fixture units (as determined above) . In recognition that certain legal parcels of real property exist within the District which are not connected to the District system and that other properties acquire considerably greater potable water than is ultimately discharged to the District's system, it is the intent of the District that said parcels be exempt totally or in part from the payment of charges as prescribed herein.

Box 8127 Fountain Valley, CA 92708 Dear Sir, We received our notification regarding the new charge for sewer systems. We don't mind paying our share along with the rest of the taxpayers, but our real concern is the lack of care given to the sewer in our area. There is a drain on the corner of VanBuren and Paularino which is always full and running over down the gutter for at least two blocks. The stench is nauseating. When called, the City does come & clear the drain, but this only lasts for a few days & it is running over once again. I'm sure if the Health Department were to inspect the area they would consider it a health hazard. Again, we aren't complaining primarily about the charge, but we definitely are regarding the mess on the corner. Thank you for taking this into consideration. Sincerely, Mr. & Mrs. C. E.

The proposed fee structure appears to be completely out of line with amount of water used by a commercial store. In the case of our Security Pacific Bank offices, we do not have dishwashers and showers and the public does not have access to our restrooms. We are like any small commercial store that uses less water than a private residence and less than 5% of a restaurant of equivalent size. It is definitely unfair to charge a sewer fee based upon square footage. A sewer use fee should be based upon metered water consumption less the estimated use for lawn irrigation. This would provide a fair and sound basis for getting the necessary operating fees while being fair to all participants. A fee based upon square footage or connection size is not fair or equitable to anyone. I am enclosing our three parcels located within the Sanitation District that shows proposed fess to exceed $275 per year when our water bill (including irrigation) is less than this amount.

Box 8127 Fountain 'valley, Ca 92706 Gentlemen : Subject: Proposed Sewer Use Fees I know you to be of good will and I am sure you are motivated by the best of intentions. host of us recognize your need for more money . however, we are concerned about the criteria you are basing the "Fee" on. 'the most equitable base would be on water consumption. Those figures can be had from co-operating water purveyors using their computer systems . Lacking that, at least use the 1980 census as to bathrooms, sinks, sewer size or number of occupants in resid- ential units. After talking to only a few commercial and industrial users the square footage base appears unfair. Some C&I users take only a V../ token amount of water, and others relatively large amounts. Again water consumption seems the only fair way to base a fee. Considering the political climate in Sacramento and the attitude of some board of supervisors in some counties toward SPECIAI DISTRICTS I think you would want to present yourselves in a more fair minded and favorable light. Your timing on the workshops and the Public Hearing leaves much to be desired . You slated them for the Memorial Day, Fish Fry and School Graduation periods. You allowed , very-. lit:tle lead time for sanitation users to study your proposal. I 'd like to believe that was not ycur intention. Your credibility will be injured if you now claim their is no time left to rectify the base for the "Use Fee" . We are going to live with these fees for a long time. Establish them fairly.

Wright 2206 Laurel Place Newport Beach, CA 92663 Proposed Costa Mesa Sanitary District User Fee Dear Mr. Wright : Your letter to Mayor Donn Hall has been referred to me for response. First , the Costa Mesa Sanitary District is not a part of the Costa Mesa City government; it is a separate independent district involved in liquid and solid waste collection. Secondly, there are several areas of north and northeast New- port Beach which are within the boundaries of the Costa Mesa Sanitary District. I have reviewed the district ' s maps and . �..d found your area is in and served by the Costa Mesa Sanitary District . Thirdly, the proposed fee is a "user fee" and not a tax. The County of Orange acts as the District ' s assessor, treasurer , and collector and therefore would place the user fee on the tax bill . The fee is not a flat rate applied to all properties like the ad valorem tax. It is a user fee based on sewerage flow for various property type categories , i .e . , single family, multiple family, commericial/industrial , etc . The Costa Mesa Sanitary District no longer has the authority to establish ad valorem tax rates but has been empowered through State Legislation (The Sanitary Act of 1923) to establish fees for the purpose of generating revenues to pay for services rendered . Included would be the day to day operation, main- tenance , repairs and rehabilitation of existing facilities (sewer lines and pump stations) . I hope this answers your questions . However , if you would like to discuss this matter further , please call me . Sincerely , BRUCE D.

Official notice of this hearing (held jointly with a public hearing of the Costa Mesa Sanitary District) for the purpose of establishing sewer service charges, was mailed on May 23, 1983, to over 27,000 property owners of record on the last equalized assessment roll of the County of Orange, in accordance with the provisions of Section 5473.1 of the California Health and Safety Code. -1- District 6 June 9, 1983 As prescribed by law, a legal notice of the hearing was published in the Orange Coast Daily Pilot on May 17, 1983 and again on May 25, 1983. In addition, advertisements describing the proposed sewer service fees and announcing the public workshops and hearing were published in the Daily Pilot on May 23, 26 and 31, 1983, and in the Costa Mesa News on May 25 and June 1, 1983. News releases were also provided to the press on May 23, 1983. The Assistant General Manager then described other staff efforts to inform the public of the proposed sewer service fee program, including: - Three public workshops as follows: No. 1 - On May 31 in the Costa Mesa City Council Chambers Attendance: 26 No. 2 - On June 2 in the Costa Mesa City Hall Council Chambers Attendance: 26 No. 3 - On June 6 at the Neighborhood Community Center on Park Avenue Attendance: 35 - Meeting with the Board of Directors of the Costa Mesa Chamber of Commerce on May 17th; Attendance: 11 - Letters mailed to the presidents of the 14 homeowner associations in the City of Costa Mesa. , - Contact with the presidents and/or program directors of several professional and service clubs in the District and offering to speak to their membership, including the Lions, Kiwanis, Rotary, Optimists and the Newport-Costa Mesa Board of Realtors. Mr. Sylvester reported that the purpose of the hearing was to consider a resolution of the serious financial problems faced by District No. 6. He reported that there were three major reasons for these financial problems. First, District No. 6 has an old sewer system which is in need of major rehabilitation. Second, operating costs have increased dramatically over the past several years due to factors beyond the control of the Districts, such as, skyrocketing energy costs, escalating inflation, and more stringent treatment requirements imposed by Federal and State agencies. Finally, the District's revenues have decreased by over 60% since 1978. Following a brief slide presentation depicting the issues facing the District, Mr. Sylvester summarized the public commentary to date which dealt primarily with the issues of: - Proposition 13 and the issue of tax vs. fee - The equitability of the proposed system of charges - Whether or not the proposed fees would be used to pay for sewers to accommodate growth - The relationship of the local sewer system operated and maintained by the Costa Mesa Sanitary District and the regional system of County Sanitation District No. 6 -2- district 6 June 9, 1983 He also reported that 512 of the response cards attached to the mailed notice of the hearing were returned. - 161 property owners indicated that their properties were not connected or they were unsure whether their properties were connected to the local sewer system - 213 owners questioned the accuracy of the data upon which their charge was based or the calculation of the charge - 12 owners advised of a change in ownership - 19 owners questioned the Proposition 13 issue - 91 owners merely returned the card with no response - 16 owners had miscellaneous comments - 2 owners sent in checks in payment of the fees The Districts staff also received 205 telephone calls asking the same kinds of questions raised at the public workshops. The Assistant General Manager then addressed each of the issues raised in the public meetings. He explained the role of the District as an operating utility providing an essential service necessary for the protection of the public health and safety, and indicated that the District was established solely to provide wastewater collection, treatment and disposal services to the community. Mr. Sylvester further explained that while the District has always had the statutory authority to levy a sewer `ard service fee, it had historically financed its operations, maintenance and rehabilitation activities from the property tax. The 60% reduction in tax revenues resulting from the passage of Proposition 13 and its implementing legislation combined with higher energy costs, the effects of high inflation over the past several years, and more stringent treatment requirements mandated by Federal and State regulatory agencies have resulted in operating deficits for the District. He indicated that the proposed sewer service fee is based upon usage of the sewer system, whereas property taxes are based upon the value of the property and have no direct relationship to use, and further pointed out that it was the Board's declared intent that the fee be as equitable as possible, all factors considered. Mr. Sylvester also explained that the reason for collecting the fee on the property tax bill is that it is the most cost-effective billing and collection method available, and results in lower costs to each property owner. The Assistant General Manager and the General Counsel highlighted the appeal process available to all property owners to allow for an adjustment of fees in the event of a demonstrated inequity, and stated that property owners had been encouraged to send in the postcards attached to their notices to initiate staff evaluation of any problems perceived by the property owner. I Mr. Sylvester then outlined recommended adjustments to the proposed District fee schedule published in the notice. The downward adjustments in the proposed fees for small apartments with only one bathroom facility that had been converted to condominiums and for commercial operations such as warehouses which have limited sewer usage were developed based upon public comments made at the three workshops. `.d -3- District 6 June 9, 1983 Following the staff report, the Secretary reported that four formal communications regarding the proposed sewer service fee had been received, whereupon it was moved, seconded and duly carried: That the following written communications regarding proposed sewer service charges, be, and are hereby, received and ordered filed: - Letter dated May 26, 1983, from Mr. & Mrs. C.E.
