Mr.Dawes then reviewed the plan to evaluate the condition of the District No.5
sewer in Balboa Peninsula and the facilities planned to serve the area down—coast
of the City of Newport Beach which annexed to District No.5 several years ago.
District’s staff,along with representatives of the City of Newport Beach and The
Irvine Company,the property owner,have cooperated for several years in the
master planning of facilities to serve the down—coast area.The Irvine Company
has indicated that they are currently in the process of revising their
development plans for this area.The District 5 Board has established a separate
zone for the area and set a connection fee schedule to pay for the facilities to
serve the down—coast area.
Staff then reviewed the master planned facilities to serve the upper portion of
District No.6.The major project is the Fairview—Gisler Relief Trunk that will
be built in conjunction with District No.7 and proposed District No.14.
The Deputy Chief Engineer also reviewed the proposed construction schedules for
the rehabilitation projects and master planned facilities and advised the
Directors that staff was working closely with the City of Newport Beach and the
Costa Mesa Sanitary District in coordinating the respective programs.
DISTRICTS 5 &6 Staff reported that Districts Nos.5 and
Review of long—range financial 6 had previously adopted long—range
program and preliminary 1985—86 financial programs that include
Budgets supplemental user fees to make up the
shortfall of ad valorem tax revenues and
provide needed additional financing for both operations,to cover higher costs of
advanced treatment and disposal imposed by federal and state authorities,and
major rehabilitation work on Districts collection and transportation system.The
program also includes connection fees to finance facilities expansion.District
No.5 adopted its long—range financial program in 1981 and District No.6 in 1983.
During the public hearings held to present the proposed user fee program to the
Districts’constituencies,the public was advised that the initial user fee
schedule was expected to increase substantially in the second year of the program
to cover rising costs,and then remain at that level for several years.
However,the Districts have been able to delay any increase in the supplemental
user fees since their inception due to a significant decline in inflation rates,
receipt of favorable bids on various District and joint works construction and
rehabilitation projects and delays in various major plant projects,all of which
have reduced District expenditures well below budgeted levels.
Further,due to the turnaround in economic conditions in the last year or two,
the District’s tax base has increased because of development to the point where
the projected ad valorem tax operating revenues (share of th~property tax
allocation under Proposition 13)now appears to place the Districts in a
financial position wherein they will not have to increase the user fees in
1985—86 and,in all likelihood,can hold the current fee schedule,as follows,
beyond the next fiscal year:

In the event proposed new County Sanitation District No.14 is formed,it would
