Status of Payment from SAWPA NeA,ort Beach Orange Placentia As reported in prior months, following an invoice from the Districts for the purchase of Santa Ana Seel Beach 2 million gallons per day (mgd) of additional treatment and disposal capacity, SAWPA stanron (Santa Ana Watershed Protection Authority) informed the Districts that it interpreted TuaGn the agreement between SAWPA and the Districts to permit payment over time for this we Pare additional capacity and to allow for payment of interest only on the amount of the tame undk P Y P Y Y annual payment. SAWPA sent a check for$1,039,969 under this interpretation. By County of Orange letter, the Districts requested that SAWPA make full payment for one mgd of additional capacity and pay interest accrued on the total balance due for the second sanitary oiavicta mgd of capacity, for a total amount due of$4,289,657.92. Coate Me. Garden crave The SAWPA Commission, while not conceding that SAWPA is required to pay for one Midway City mgd in full, has indicated that it will do so. We are, therefore, anticipating a further Water Districts payment from SAWPA of$4,052,476. The SAWPA Commission has further requested that SAWPA and the Districts meet and confer under the provisions of the Irvine Ranch agreement to resolve the dispute on the interest calculation.

EPA's Office of Water approved for the first time a city's request to lease a federally funded wastewater treatment facilities to the private sector under a long term contract. The agreement between the City of Cranston, RI and Triton Ocean State L.L.C. requires Triton to pay a concession fee of$48.1 million to the city and be named a co-permittee on the city's NPDES permit. This approval for Cranston has enabled the Agency to develop guiding principles for evaluating lease applications and should result in faster project approval.

A feasibility report, prepared by staff of this agency and the Water District, shows that the project will provide a reliable, high quality groundwater recharge source at a relatively economical price, and will help negate or defer the need for a second, peak (wet weather) flow outfall. In the last two months, a request for proposals (RFP) for public relations assistance has been distributed and the Joint OCR Project Cooperative Committee, consisting of three directors from the sanitation and water districts, is expected to recommend a firm to you at your next regular meeting, July 23. This initial public relations work is budgeted at$100,000 ($50,000 from each agency). A second RFP, for preliminary engineering and environmental work has also been issued. This work, including the preparation of an Environmental Impact Report (EIR), meeting state requirements and an EIR, meeting federal requirements is targeted to be brought to you at your September 24 meeting.

IFAGUE of CAIIFOIDM CMES CALIFORNIA WATER ENVIRONMENT FEDERATION COMMITTEE NEWS RESIDUALS & BIOSOLIDS COMMITTEE Southern California Biosolids Generator- Kern County Partnership By Michael D.Moore, GovemmentAfjairs Committee Layne T.Bamldl,Residaals&Biosolids Committee In a model example of POTW and regulator partnerships, several Southern California POTWs and Kern County officials are in the process of developing a biosolids land application ordinance that will allow for the continued land application of biosolids in Kem County. This partnership officially began at a meeting held on December 19, 1996, at the request of Kern County Supervisor Steve A. Perez, and chaired by William O'Rullian of the Kern County Environmental Health Services Department. At this meeting representatives from several southern California POTWs land applying biosolids in Kern County met with officials representing the following departments and agencies responsible for biosolids land application oversight in Kern County: • Resources Management Agency • Environmental Health Services Department • Kern County Supervisor Perez's Office • Planning Department • Agriculture Commissioner • County Counsel's Office It was decided that before the development of any form of county regulation was addressed, a foundation needed to be established upon which the POTWs and Kern County would work toward a common goal of public acceptance, especially in eastern Kern County. In order to help establish public acceptance, the Kern County officials requested that the POTW supply them with the information necessary for Kern County to provide responsible and efficient biosolids land application oversight for their constituents. The County Sanitation Districts of Orange County volunteered to compile and distribute a report that included the following information related to biosolids land application in Kern County: • A list of all of the POTWs land applying biosolids in Kern County, their address, biosolids management contacts, and the contact's phone and fax numbers. • Each agency's biosolids land application contractor and address, the contractor's contact, and contact's phone and fax number. • A copy of the agency's laboratory data in the report and their biosolids classification. • Copies of all the Kern County biosolids land application site maps in both the Lahontan and Central Valley Regions including permit number, site owner, land applier, and the site acreage. • The quantity of biosolids currently being land applied in Kern County. • A brief summary of applicable biosolids rules and regulations. • A draft outline of CWEA's pending Manual of Practice for Biosolids Land Application. • A biosolids land application site inspection form. In addition to this information, the POTWs and land appliers operating in Kem County, are committed to assisting in the funding of an inspector position so that Kern County citizens' concern over adequate independent oversight can be addressed. Funding for the position may come from a "per ton of biosolids land applied in Kem County surcharge." POTWs and land appliers have also committed to assist in the funding of a community public education program emphasizing the safety and agricultural benefits of a properly managed biosolids land application project. The wastewater industry association Biosolids Recyclers of Southern California (BRSC) plans to take the responsibility to ascertain written material and provide nontechnical speakers to address the public on biosolids issues when necessary. The report was well received. A meeting was held on April 10, 1997 where each of the Kem County department and agency representatives discussed the information included in the report. As a result of this meeting, Kem County officials have requested to have a meeting on May 1, 1997 with POTW staff from Los Angeles County Sanitation Districts, City of Los Angeles, and the County Sanitation Districts of Orange County to work together in the creation of a "reasonable" Kem County Biosolids Land Application Ordinance. Kem County officials are encouraged by the development of the CWEA Manual of Practice for Biosolids Land Application (MOP). Several Kern County officials are assisting CWEA by providing peer review of this document. Kem County would like to see POTWs incorporate the MOP into new and existing biosolids management contracts upon its completion. Kem County officials also actively participated in the recent CWEA Biosolids Land Application Training and Certification Program held in Visalia. We applaud Kem County's efforts to work with the POTWs to solve any existing or perceived problems with biosolids land application. The POTW and Kern County partnership goal is to insure that an open channel of communications is maintained between the POTWs and Kem County officials during the development of a county ordinance. We are fortunate that Kem County officials responsible for biosolids land application oversight, recognize the value and safety of properly managed biosolids to the fanners in Kem County. We especially appreciate the spirit of cooperation in Kem County and hope that it is the beginning of a ground swell that sweeps the Nation.

This commitment is contingent on the City of Los Angeles and County Sanitation Districts of Los Angeles each committing to an equal amount. It is cwee the Districts' understanding that the Southern California Alliance of POTWs (SCAP) Anaheim will submit a commitment letter to Kem County on behalf of the contributing Brea agencies.

Baroldi ECM File A Public Wastewater and Environmental Management Agency Committee W Protecting Me Environment Since 1954 JUNE BOARD LETTER Source Control EPA Pretreatment Streamlining Proposal For the past year or so, the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has been working on a proposal to streamline, or simplify and make more "practical", the regulatory and administrative aspects of the industrial pretreatment program. The goal is to reduce the burden on regulated companies and on the sewerage agencies, such as, the Districts, which administer the pretreatment program. The Association of Metropolitan Sewerage Agencies (AMSA) and the Water Environment Federation (WEF), organizations in which we are active, provided EPA with their recommendations om program improvements. Based on the input from the AMSA-WEF assessment and comments from various stakeholders, including the sewerage agencies, EPA plans to begin a formal rulemaking in December 1997 to modify the regulations governing the program. In anticipation of releasing the draft regulations, EPA has asked for stakeholders' input on a number of issues. There are 13 specific pretreatment program changes on which EPA is seeking input. These changes, both administrative and regulatory are both radical and controversial, and would change fundamentally the way we do business. Some of the more important changes to the program include: Equivalent mass limits for concentration limits, which would allow an increased concentration in a discharge if it was caused by a reduction in water use, and also place a cap on total mass of regulated compounds discharged into the sewer from a facility; Discharge of industrial wastewater with a pH lower than 5.0, which would provide more flexibility to the discharger if there would be no damage to the sewerage facilities; De minimis exception to the definition of a Significant Industrial User, which would eliminate permits for very small dischargers who are in regulated industrial categories; Waiver of sampling for pollutants that an industry does not have at a regulated facility; Authorize grab versus composite samples, reducing the cost of monitoring, Establish "signature" procedures for electronic submittal of reports; Authorize Best Management Practices developed by sewerage agencies to serve as local limits, rather than requiring numeric or narrative criteria for each regulated constituent; Redefine "Significant Noncompliance" (SNC)to prevent companies with one or two minor violations with no impact from being publicly reported as in violation of environmental laws. A meeting, sponsored by AMSA, will be held at the end of this month to discuss the proposed changes. Districts staff will attend to present our position and recommendations. In general, staff believe that the proposed changes, if developed such that they can be implemented in a practical manner, would have a positive impact impact on both our Source Control Program and the industries we serve.

The council instead decided to _ merge the water district's op- erations with those of the city. Under the new plan,the city will maintain and operate the system and will retain water district workers as city employees The water district's board of directors willmmmininplace. Originally,the city had planned to dissolve the water district, which officials said would ehon- nme duplication of services and be more mat effective. To do that,the city would have needed an agreement with Dana Point, which has about 1,ODD residents who are served by the Capistrano valley Water District. During the tacks, Dana Point officials said they would want San Juan Capistrano to pay Dams Point S50,OM a year for adr mn- tration Costs associated with the proposal and that they would want input on the water system's budget and operation "The whole purpose of this Concept wax-to save rate-payers' money," Smi Juan Capistrano Councilman Wyatt T.

BB°" Date: May 23, 1997 wsE P.aa To: Members,OC`fA Board ofDirectors B From: Laimma Cook,Chair MIA raxueeuu* Subj: May 20, 1997 Correspondence from OCTA's Council of nu�am" Governments Subcommittee NU'mVLpaBBpAM pins As an OCTA Director and Chair of the Orange Council of Governments(OCCOG),I was disappointed to receive the attached correspondence in which the OCCA Subcommittee members are recommending that OCPA not participate in the OCCOG. The Subcommittee members indicate in thew transmittal that "We could not in good conscience recommend participation in the COG when it has been unwilling to address OCTA's issues." 1, along with other elected City officials on the OCCOG Board, u,cun.Hera. have been closely involved with the development of the OCCOG Bylaws,and have spent considerable time,over a period of several months,weighing the issues raised 1A1E`O°"r by OCCA. It is important you understand that the OCTA's proposed Bylaw ,m,a.grtrm amendments were considered at length and addressed by the OCCOG Board. When OCCOG considered and adopted its Bylaws on May 15, 1997,OCTA staff Yapaerwa, _ indicated to the OCCOG Board that it would not petition to join OCCOG unless each aa.nra of its proposed amendments were fully complied with. It was made very clear to the OCCOG Board that there was no mom for negotiation,despite the fact that many of A OCfA's other suggestions were being recommended for inclusion into the final :wH�MCMe Bylaws. Specified below are remaining OCPA points that were discussed among OCCOG Board members,but not included in the final Bylaws. Apparently, these are wx.nc.rmn.w the"deal breaking issues'that form the basis of the OCI'A Subcommittee " recommendation to not participate in the OCCOG. sa.caua Roles and Responsibilities: OCTA proposed that the Bylaws be amended to nB include the following language: ros�m 77w COG Board will take no action to support, oppose, advise or comment ' MBa on, or otherwise impact the deliberations,policies, or actions of member agencies unless specifically requested by the affected agency. wanHvaTra Similarly,OCI'A also requested that specific Bylaws amendments be made to eliminate OCCOG's ability to provide input to the development of long-range transportation ABeda: plans,and that only OCTA will prepare and present items on transportation issues. WGHBYpMl1I"non nnoxn RESPONSE: Several OCCOG Board Members cited the inappropriateness of OCPA roan WAM oaa,cr attempting to censure any public entity from providing comments on public agency A1"a"m°°`"101 activities. One of our main charges as elected officials is to encourage public pvmauxawbna sarBzr participation and comment on issues of common interest;such attempts to restrict a oaAHGECOarm wAtaaaapaer public agency's right to engage in dialogue are objectionable. vm'�1°,vm n.xaaaranw CWr I4wm CevB,µpp pro T.Gryvt Po vwq Y:xChPi..

OCTA's proposed language would also appear to prohibit the TCAs or cities from preparing and presenting reports on transportation issues clearly within their purview. Overall Work Program Process: OCTA requested that language be added to the Bylaws to create a staff process for developing projects funded from SCAG through Overall Work Program(OWP)funds. OCTA's proposed process would convene a staff-level committee of OCTA,County of Orange and League of Cities staff,as well as the Chair of the OCCOG Technical Advisory Committee. This committee would review projects and provide recommendations to the OCCOG Board. RESPONSE:Based on several concerns the OCCOG Transitional Issues Subcommittee and OCCOG Board decided against accepting this recommendation. First it would create a duplicative committee to review work already performed by the OCCOG Technical Advisory Committee,the Executive Management Comnuttee and the OCCOG Board(OCTA would be represented on all committees if it were. a member of OCCOG.) Another consideration was that OCTA's proposed committee makeup dilutes Cities' rightful influence of the OWP process. Ultimately,the OCCOG Board was satisfied that the Bylaws adequately provide authority for the Board to create Standing and Ad Hoc Committees to review proposals and provide recommendations as needed. This provision was viewed as having more benefits than one that would codify administrative details which are best left to the discretion of the OCCOG Board given current circumstances. As several City officials have commented,one of the main reasons for forming OCCOG was so that such policy decisions would be made by elected officials.. (As a side-note, each of OCTA's proposed OWP projects were recently ranked highly by the OCCOG Board.) To summarize,these and other OCfA comments regarding the OCCOG Bylaws were considered and discussed at length on several occasions by the OCCOG Transitional Subcommittee and the OCCOG Board. The Board has worked hard to listen to and accommodate comments and suggestions raised by several non-member interests,including OCTA,and the Bylaws ate reflective of this effort. While OCCOG would welcome OCTA's participation,the OCCOG Directors have indicated they did not feel it was fair that one agency(OCTA)dictate demands about the way OCOG operates. Quite frankly,as I previously stated,OCTA has made it clear that its conditions were non-negotiable. Is this"negotiating in good faith?" To establish such a rigid"negotiating"position and then expect flexibility from others is unreasonable. It is extremely misleading to indicate that the OCCOG has been unwilling to address OCTA's issues; all were addressed and discussed, but not all were complied with for the reasons stated above. It is unfortunate that OCTA considers these remaining matters deal breakers that would preclude OCTA's participation in the OCCOG. Notwithstanding the above comments,I would request that you carefully consider what negative consequences could possibly occur by OCTA participating in an advisory, consensus-building entity. attachment cc: Mayors and Councilmembers, Orange County Cities Members,Orange County Board of Supervisors OCCOG Member Agencies 333 P04104 MAY 23 Iw 11:19 r OCTA INTEROFFICE MEMO May 2U. 1997 To: Members of the Board of Directors from: Bill Steiner, Tom Wilson S Swan Wdhro Subpd: Recommendation m COG Participation Our Committee retomirwAs that the Orange County Transportation Authority decline to participate in the Orange County Council of Governments since the COG's adopted by-laws did not incorporate OCTA's proposed dsm9as. We have represented the OCTA and dienased these issues in good faith with members of the COG Board of Directors. The COG's action in adopting these by-laws sands the message that OCTA should continue working with cities, the County of Orange and the Southern California Association of Governments directly as a function of our Statutory transportation plarmi g and programming functions. As you will recall, our Committee was prepared to recommend that OCTA loin the COG and work toward resolving legal and policy issues after favorable revisions to the draft by-laws. The COG adopted by-laws on May 15 that did not include our proposed modifications. We could not in good conscience reeormnerd participation in the COG when it has been - asrmrct- Under the can on by-sews, many members oF our OCTA goad of Directors .could not serve as representatives to the COG even though they are duly-elected members of OCTNs Baud We wish the COG wail and look forward to its comnbution in resolving many of the regional plaming issues in Orange County that relate to land use, air quality and Imme communities.

In Orange County,nip*aanitation districtsjointly.operate facilities to process wastewater from collection systems serving over two million people in several cities,water districts,and seiner agencies. Each district's governing board is comprised of city councilmembers,special district representatives,and county supervisors. District funding comes primarily from property taxes and connection and user fees. In 1996,the districts'hired a consultant to study the potential benefits and drawbacks of consolidating into a single agency. The study indicated that a consolidation would be worthwhile; If the di cts did consolidate,state law provides two options foi the new gove hoard. The first option would not persist the participation of the Irvine Fa,i4Water District,an agency which eurrently has equity in and co-operates tfte sanitation districts'joint facilities through its seat on one of the sartitatiorq, i ,*Vs governing boards. The second option would permit representation of the Irvine Ranch Water District,but it would also require other water districts;that don't use the districts' services and facilities to sit on the board and it would give several cities Aoabje representation (seats both as cities and as members of file sanitary districts). Before the agencies initiate a consolidation of their entities, they want to ensure that a consolidated board includes all the relevant parties, and doesn't over- represent any one faction. To create a more appropriate and equitable board,the districts want.the LegieiAture to tailor a different governance structure. t�rFaxNoro.' .• .,�+fi.

The following summarizes our conversation. Senate Analysis: The Senate Analysis will be available on Monday. Ken believes that he may be able to get an advance copy of it on Friday. He will let us know. Pringle Bill: The Pringle bill (AB 556 not AB 278) has moved off the Assembly floor and is waiting to be scheduled for a Senate policy committee. Ken does not believe that there is significant confusion between the Pringle bill and ours. When he does hear of confusion, he clears it up. CSDOC Rate Increase: Ken has not heard anything from the delegation re: the rate increase. He will chat with the members and see if any of them have received contacts from constituents.

Some additional points of interest to us include: The bill would require assessments of environmental risks to be based on the most sensitive group in the population, which the bill states are infants and children. Depending on the risk analysis, this could result in more stringent numeric standards for various pollutants than those presently found in existing state and federal regulations. CASA has taken the position that standards developed under this bill would not be based on good science and has opposed the bill. (Letter attached.) Additional regulation of air is likely to be the most significant impact to us because our air quality is already acknowledged to be degraded. It would seem that tighter standards would require a risk analysis to be performed. Therefore, new standards might not be immediately applicable, but there would clearly be pressure to implement new standards as soon as possible. The most important air issue is the question of who is regulated. Stationary sources (such as our facilities) are already tightly regulated. It may only be possible be to achieve more pollution reduction by regulating mobile sources, such as, cars and trucks. It would seem unlikely that there would be a significant impact on our ocean discharge. There are few direct risks to the population, including children from our ocean discharge. Health risks from eating fish might lead to lower numeric standards in the ocean plan. However, since our discharge into the ocean is very clean, it would not be as difficult to ensure compliance with lower standards. The monitoring and notification requirements will impose a substantial additional cost on regulated businesses. The bill passed the Assembly on a 45-25 vote.

Natural Resources (7-4) Synopsis: This bill establishes a process to both revisit existing air and water quality thresholds and establish new thresholds for individual chemical compounds based upon potential public health impacts to children. It revises methods for setting ambient air quality, toxic and water quality standards; creates new notice and monitoring requirements; and requires new risk assessments and controls for stationary sources near schools. Analysis:This bill affects many facets of state environmental laws,with additional emphasis on air quality, especially in the SCAQMD. Existing law requires CARE,with assistance from Cal/EPA's Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment (OEHHA),to adopt ambient air quality standards in consideration of public health, safety and welfare. This bill: • Expands health review- expands state health assessments to isolate impacts on infants and children. • Revisits standards- requires CARB to review all state air quality standards by 1/1/98 and adopt new standards it needed by 1/1/99. • Imposes new monitoring- requires CARB to review and amend statewide monitoring programs to capture children's exposure. • Expands smog episode notification-requires AQMD to notify daycare centers in addition to schools. • Allows citizen suits. • Requires public education-requires CARB and air districts to develop public education program regarding health effects of air pollution on children. Existing law requires toxic hotspot sources to develop emission inventories and, if necessary, risk management programs. State law also requires risk management and prevention programs for facilities which handle acutely hazardous materials which could be released accidentally. With respect to hazardous emissions, the bill: • Regulates facilities near schools- requires major sources within one mile to prepare a "source reduction evaluation review plan"to compel supplemental emission control over all existing statutes. • Requires air district assistance - air districts must establish a"technical and research assistance program" to help companies identify additional control measures. • Adds penalties-violations are subject to civil penalties. This bill raises a number of policy questions, including: • are current environmental standards adequately protective of children's health; • how would updates to state air quality standards relate to the proposed new federal standards; The Planning Center Page 1 00 Orange County Council of Governments Air Quality Technical Assistance Program • should facilities near schools be subject to additional monitoring, risk assessment and control requirements; and • should daycare centers be directly notified of poor air days? The bill has broad popular support, but is opposed by California's major industry groups. Regulatory agencies have concerns about the bill's new requirements. Sanitation agencies are opposed. Some of the concerns are related to: • practical implementation issues, • lack of clarity and direction regarding the degree of supplemental control needed to protect children's health from stationary source emissions, and ' • implementation costs and the lack of funds for bill implementation. Due to the issues raised by various organizations, a delay in bill development may be beneficial to resolve these areas of concern. Consistency with Relevant OCCOG Legislative Policy: None. Recommendation: Pending. P1aC 4 EGI0 78 REP 010 The Planning Center Page 2 �m May 28, 1997 MEMORANDUM TO: Interested Tour Guides FROM: Cymantha Atkinson SUBJECT: Information Regarding the Tour Guide Program Thank you for your interest in the CSDOC Tour Guide Program. I am sorry that you were not able to attend the orientation meeting, but this memo will fill you in on what you missed and how you can become a CSDOC Tour Guide. Background Plant lours are an important part of our external outreach program here at the Districts. They are one of our strongest ways of teaching the community about wastewater treatment. They also are one of the easiest ways and most effective ways of doing outreach. Easiest because the groups come to us and most effective because people really get to see first-hand how we treat wastewater. But most of all, tours fulfill our mission of being a good neighbor to our community by welcoming all interested parties into our plant. More About Tours Currently, most of the tours we host are a walking tour of Plant 1. The tour starts in the Board Room with a 20 minute overview of the Districts mission and service area, then it continues for approximately a one-hour tour of the plant. We host an average of about four tours per week, but recently there have been as many as seven to ten. The groups come in every shape and size. Tours can have as few as seven people or as many as 25-30. People who come on our tours are students from elementary-college level and trade schools, people from civic organizations, girls scouts & boy scouts, visiting dignitaries or wastewater experts, local officials and international guests. Most of our tours are repeat visitors, but recently we've seen a significant increase in first-time tour groups who have discovered us by referral, business cards or cold call from their phone book. The New Tour Guide Program Historically, here at the Districts, the Communications Department has done most of the tours. We are, however, having a difficult time keeping up with the growing demand and requests for technical tours. As a result, we are developing the CSDOC Tour Guide Program based on a districts-wide approach. In the past few months, we have been managing the steady increase in tours by drawing on expertise of other employees. It has been a very successful strategy and we've had a lot of interest from employees like you who would like to give tours. CSDOC 9 P.O.Sex 8127 0 Fountain valley,CA 92728-8127 0 (714)962-2411 Tour Guide Program May 28, 1997 Page 2 We are developing a guild, or a bank, of tour guides that are called on once a month to host people through Plant 1, provide general plant overviews and speak to the group's special area of interest. Benefits of Being A Tour Guide The benefits of being a tour guide are numerous. Being a tour guide gives you the chance to practice your public speaking skills. Many of you would like a more regular chance to brush up on your presentation skills, and the Tour Guide Program is that opportunity. Some of you may have even listed in your Individual Development Plans that you have the goal of becoming more comfortable in front of groups. The Tour Guide Program is a great way of working toward that goal. Another benefit of being a tour guide is that it gets you out into the Plant. For those of us who aren't in the field every day, it is a great way to learn more about what we really do here at the Districts. For the folks who work in the Plant daily, it is a way to host people through the facility you know so well. For all of us, it is our opportunity to show our commitment to the Districts' mission statement and to show-off our"Excellence in Wastewater Treatment". Giving tours allows an employee to get to know our customer. You will hear first-hand what our guests think a wastewater treatment facility will be like, and how that image changes after visiting our plant. You will also have the opportunity of networking with visiting guests. Finally, participating in the CSDOC Tour Guide Program gives you the opportunity to act as an ambassador for both your department and for the Districts. You will bring a unique perspective to your tours, and open our guests' eyes to the many different types of experts employed here at the Districts. You will define the tour group's experience and send them away with a clear message of the dedication we have to the Districts' mission. Some Concerns You Might Have In putting together the Tour Guide Program, we have heard some concerns expressed about becoming a tour guide. The following are the most frequently voiced concerns I don't know enough about the Plant. Every employee who would like to serve as a tour guide will be trained. Part of the Tour Guide Program is to provide a full-day training session to familiarize our guides with the plant, the different treatment processes and the tour route. A script will be developed to use as a guide during your presentation and there will be standard routes that each tour will follow. Training will also focus on safety issues and group management skills. Keep in mind that this is your chance to learn more about the plant and public speaking. As long as you are interested and willing to train, your success is guaranteed. I wouldn't know where to Po. As stated previously, there will be a standard route tailored to the group you are hosting. Your tour route will be determine by the ages and interest of the guests in your lour. r� Tour Guide Program May 28, 1997 Page 3 1 don't want to have to organize the details of the tour You won't have to. The responsibility for coordinating the tours and for the Tour Guide Program remains with the Communications Department. We will schedule the tours and contact you for your availability. We will provide you with an audience profile and confirmation of your tour. We will reserve the necessary meeting room, notify Control Center and arrange for your handouts and safely equipment. We will even supply the tour evaluation cards that are filled out following the tour. You will be responsible for the tour, but the Communications Department will take care of the rest. 1 don't have the time to commit This is an important point to consider. Tours of the plant take approximately two hours. As part of the Tour Guide Program, we commit not to call on you for more than one tour per month. In exchange, however, we expect the commitment from our tour guides to make reasonable efforts to be available for tours. We won't call you in on days off and we realize that your core responsibilities come first. But as a member of the Tour Guide Team, we must be able to depend on you. Please give this some thought. What is Expected of Tour Guides? If you volunteer to be a Districts Tour Guide the following is what you are committing to do: Be available one time oer month to host a two-hour tour As stated before, we will give you advanced notice and we will be considerate of your schedule and workload. @yQ, you will be expected to make every effort to host one tour per month. • Follow the training Provided for consistency and safety reasons. The goal of the Tour Guide Program is to provide a standard tour with a consistent message to all groups who visit our facility. You will each have your own style and knowledge base, but you will be expected to stay on the prescribed tour route and provide a minimum of the standard information. Also, to ensure the safety of our guests and to protect our facility, safety training must be abided at all times. • Tour whatever group you are given. Whenever possible, we will assign groups based on your expertise and the group's interest. There will be times, however, that specialists will be asked to host general tours. No one visitor is any more important or valued than another. As a tour guide, you should be prepared to tour guests ranging from local officials to the local boy scout troop. How Do I Sign Up? If you are interested in becoming a CSDOC Tour Guide, please fill out the Tour Guide Questionnaire attached to this memo. The form requires your supervisor's signature. Once it is completed, please return it to me and I will add you to our growing list of guides. Tour Guide Program May 28, 1997 Page 4 What The Future Holds Currently, we are developing a list of guides who are interested in the program and have their supervisor's support. Following that, we will develop and begin training. We plan to schedule training for the summer months. Our goal is to have the first guides giving tours by the end of first quarter 97/98. In conclusion, I'd like to thank you for your interest and share with you a quote from Jerry, a Senior at Heritage Christian High who was on one of our recent tours. "Thank you for the tour of the plant. It was very informative and kinds fun too. I now talk about the field trip pretty regularly. I will never feel the same flushing again." That is what it is all about. Giving people a whole new perspective on wastewater management and showing them that they can rely on us.

Our Board Finance, Administration and Human Resources (FAHR) Committee felt this was too large an amount and not fiscally prudent. — District 1 reserves have declined more than 51% since fiscal year 1993. — District 11 reserves have declined 49% since fiscal year 1993. — We plan to issue debt in the spring of 1998. Without a user fee increase, we would not have enough revenue to issue additional debt and meet the debt service coverage ratios required by the rating agencies. — Without an immediate user fee increase in two of our districts (1 and 11), they will not conform to the debt-service policy required for bond issuers. — Ratings for bonds are determined by looking at the financial health of the weakest district. We have been able to borrow at very low interest rates using variable debt in the past. Without dramatically improving the financial health of districts 1 and 11, our ability to issue variable debt is in doubt. Indeed, we cannot issue any debt without user fee increases in six districts as they would not have adequate revenue to service it. 4 David Parrish, OC Register Page 2 May 30, 1997 The need to go to the capital markets in the spring of 1998 is driven by our need to plan, design and construct additional capacity at our two plants (Fountain Valley and Huntington Beach) to meet the growth projected for Orange County. Our need to get ready for increased flows and large-capacity projects has a 7-10 year implementation period. — External factors that impact our ability to issue debt: - In these, the post-bankruptcy years, the financial community continues to heavily scrutinize the financial health of Orange County public agencies. -The requirements of Proposition 218 have greatly impacted California cities. In fact, Moody's and Standard & Poor's has been downgrading ratings of California cities because of the implications of 218, — If the Districts can continue to go to the capital markets in good financial health and borrow at the lowest interests rates possible, we can save taxpayers millions of dollars. For example, there is a difference of$52 million in interest between borrowing $100 million over 25 years under a variable debt vs. a fixed rate (assuming a 3% difference). —We currently have a very conservative accumulated funds (reserve) policy. We are now conducting a study of that policy, the results of which will be presented to the Joint Boards of Directors' Finance, Administration and Human Resources (FAHR) Committee in September. If the Board makes significant changes to that reserve policy, we will reexamine sewer service user rates. — User fees are remaining the same in three of our nine districts (5, 13 and 14). Districts 2, 3 and 6 will have an average increase of $1.37. Districts 1, 7 and 11 will have the largest increases due to their individual operating and financial needs. — District 14 (Irvine Ranch Water District) has an annual sewer service user fee of $95.40, which they charge directly to their customers. We invoice IRWD monthly based upon the flows they send to our plants. This monthly cost is included in IRWD user rates. 5130197 Page 1 of 3 V County Sanitation Districts of Orange County Revenues, Requirements, and Accumulated Reserves For The Years Ended June 30
