Minutes of the Steering Committee Meeting " _ Page 2 June 26, 1996 (6) DISCUSSION ITEMS (a) Attendance at Strategic Plan Stakeholders Meetings Two weeks ago, the first of eight stakeholders meetings was held in Westminster. Unfortunately, staff and consultants outnumbered the citizens. Staff sought direction from the Steering Committee on several proposals to increase attendance, including asked the Directors on the Joint Boards to invite five to ten of their constituents to attend these meetings. The idea behind these meetings was to get feedback on the various aspects of the Strategic Plan. It was suggested that staff limit the number of workshops until there was something tangible to review, or interest was to rise. Secondly, the use of focus groups was acknowledged as a potential approach to getting some informed input on the questions facing us in the Strategic Plan. (b) Agenda Items to be presented to Committees in July The Committee action items lists were reviewed. Some of the items on the PDC Committee list will be moved to August. (7) CLOSED SESSION There was no closed session. The item listed on the closed session agenda was removed and discussed during the regular meeting. (8) OTHER BUSINESS General Counsel reviewed the items that to be discussed during Closed Session at the Joint Boards Meeting immediately following the Steering Committee meeting. The Pringle Bill, AB2109,was discussed. The final amended version has not been printed yet, but he is confident that the Districts will not be included. Should the bill be adopted, the makeup of the Boards will change. Costa Mesa Sanitary District and Sunset Beach Sanitary District will not be included. There are all sorts of issues that have not been addressed in the bill and these will have to be clarified. Staff was directed to take the MOU issues to the FAHR Committee for review. Blake Anderson reported on the Boise Chica State Beach issue. The newspaper articles have not been very forthcoming in stating that this is a Slate Parks and Roe. problem, and as a result the perception is that we are at fault. The County Health Department and the stale have reached agreement which will allow the beach to reopen, hopefully by the weekend. The Committee directed staff to request a letter from the state that will outline their plans and how we can assist them.

Minutes of the Steering Committee Meeting Page 2 May 22, 1996 (5) REPORTS OF THE COMMITTEE CHAIR, GENERAL MANAGER AND GENERAL COUNSEL (a) Committee Chair Report. Chair Cox discussed what he considered conflicting direction on an issue affecting consolidation at the May 15 Executive Committee meeting. The Executive Committee must address the section under which the consolidation will be filed, either Section 4730 or Section 4730.1. If consolidation goes forward under Section 4730, IRWD will not be entitled to a seat on the Board. If consolidation is implemented under Section 4730.1, three more cities and two water districts would be added to the Boards, resulting in dual representation. This needs to be resolved at the next Executive Committee meeting, scheduled for June 19, and a recommendation made at the June 26 Joint Boards Meeting. (b) There was no report by the General Manager. (c) There was no report by Counsel. (6) DISCUSSION ITEMS (a) Status of the Pringle Bill (AB 2109) As of this meeting, the bill has not gone to the Appropriations Committee. However, Speaker Pringle has indicated that he would like it out of Committee and to the assembly by the end of May. Mr. Pringle has also indicated that the bill will be changed if responsible alternatives are presented to him. The Steering Committee directed staff to maintain contact with Mr. Pringle's office on this issue. Districts' staff should be educating city councils on the issue by asking them to support the general concept of evaluating agencies to see if consolidation is feasible. A letter will be prepared to all cities and Assemblyman Pringle for the Joint Chair's signature addressing our efforts and concerns. Minutes of the Steering Committee Meeting Page 3 May 22, 1996 (b) Status of Orange County Council of Governments (COG) Sixteen cities have committed to the Council of Governments and three more are scheduled to take action this month. The County is undecided at this time. This program is the continuation of RAPC. When the Council is authorized, our Boards will be requested to take action on a Joint Powers Agreement. (c) Debriefing on Boards Workshops on the Strategic Plan and Results of Directors Survey Judy Wilson summarized the returns of the surveys. The Directors indicated that they appreciate the opportunity to participate. One suggestion was to consider a site tour of the outfall at the next workshop. A copy of the results is attached to these minutes. (d) Role of the Steering Committee The Steering Committee will be included in the preparation of the agenda for the next workshop, tentatively scheduled for September. (e) Agenda Items to be Presented to Committees in June The budget presentations will be made to all committees in June. The PDC Committee will be touring the Plant 2 facilities before their meeting. Director Swan indicated that an equipment expenditures list should be included as part of the budget review process. He also questioned the disposal of surplus lab equipment. Staff is preparing list recommending disposal options for the equipment. Director Swan also suggested that staff consider contracting out the lab and the equipment, or determine the value of the equipment and either sell it or donate it. This is an asset that should be managed. (7) CLOSED SESSION There was no closed session. Minutes of the Steering Committee Meeting Page 4 May 22, 1996 (8) OTHER BUSINESS There was no other business discussed.

Don McIntyre concluded the morning with an overview of the strategic policy issues. 1. Did you find this workshop valuable? Yes 8 No Comments 1. Good basis for understanding what is needed in the future. 2. This is the first"broad view"1 have seen since I became a Board Member three years ago. Staff was innovative and well prepared. 3. It set a very positive tone for the meetings that were to follow. It was very informative and clearly demonstrated that staff were on top of the issues. 4. Helped put things in perspective. 5. A good idea—learning situation. It will get better. 6. A cross-section of the inner-workings of OCSD. 7. The more in-depth information received improves our knowledge and value as a Director representing a constituency. 2.

How could we have improved this workshop? Comments 1. More time for discussion. 2. For the first workshop, it was very good. 3. Include a Director in the planning. 4. The workshop did not need improving, 5. It would be very difficult! Nothing to add! 1 May Workshop Bill Mills of the Orange County Water District was our guest speaker, discussing the Orange County Water Reclamation Project. Following a brief overview of the projects comprising Phase I of the Strategic Plan, Paul Brown of the consulting group Camp, Dresser& McKee led a discussion on the plan's mission statement and critical success factors. The second half of the workshop was a panel discussion with staff members Blake Anderson,Judy Wilson and Dave Ludwin. Gail Lynch from Carollo Engineers and Kelli Bum-Lucht from Camp, Dresser&McKee were also on the panel. 1. Did you find this workshop valuable? Yes 6 No 1 Comments 1. Very informative as to relationship of Sanitation District and Water District. 2. It was very informative, and dealt with a topic that is very important and will become much more important...water reclamation. 3. Staff is working hard to communicate. 4. We did not have a good process on the"Mission Statement' and critical success factors. 5. 1 think this plan has to be done soon, the concept and where and how it is going is greatl 6. The more in-depth information received improves our knowledge and value as a Director representing a constituency. 2. Please rate the following: Bill Mills Excellent 3 Good 4 Fair _ Poor "OC Water Reclamation" Discussion on the Strategic Plan's Excellent 1 Good 2 Fair 2. Poor 2. Mission Statement and Critical Success Factors Panel Discussion Excellent 2. Good 4 Fair 1 Poor Blake Anderson Judy Wilson Dave Ludwin Gail Lynch Kalil Burn-Lucht 3. How could we have improved this workshop? Comments 1. I was concerned about Directors"resentment"of mission statement. I hope it doesn't glitch the plan to have Directors involved in future planning or feel it is staff doing planning that they simply satisfy. 2. 1 don't really care for the panel discussion format. Would prefer to hear the issues and then to hear the staff present options and substantive analysis behind those options. 3. Too much time wasted on semantics regarding mission statement. 4. The consultant was a disaster. He caused a rift between staff and Directors. Very poorly presented—the order of the agenda was off. Mission statement very poorly presented— it felt adversarial. S. The facilitator did not do a good job. Very difficult to involve such a large group in a discussion of the mission and critical success factors. He seemed bewildered. He repeated himself often and did not move on when he could have. People lost their focus and the attention span evaporated. 6. Why not media at workshop? People out there should have some idea of what is going to happen. Should know of plans and why it is being done! 7. Keep similar format! 2 Overall Program Evaluation 1. Are the workshops meeting your information needs? Yes 8 No Comments 1. We all need to better understand the Districts' responsibility to Orange County constituents. 2. Forces Directors to understand the issues and the challenges the Sanitation District faces. It also instills confidence in the Directors with regard to the abilities of the staff. 3. There is a lot to learn. 4. 1 think they are very important because they allow Directors to understand issues in greater depth. 5. Insight to the workings of the Districts on a hands-on level. S. Enhances role as a Director. 2. Is Saturday morning the best time for you to attend a Board Workshop? Yes 8 No — Alternative days/times 1. Late afternoon would be OK. 2. Thursday evenings. 3. Our next Workshop will be in September when we will be presenting the initial results of our Investigation of the ocean outfall. Do you have a suggestion for a format or type of presentation you would find most helpful? Suaaestions 1. Assume that we don't know how it works and educate us. Then inform us of the issues and costs. Then give us the staffs recommendations and reasons for those suggestions. 2. You don't need a consultant. Questions and answers always work well after presentation. Repeat trip to outfall opportunity. 3. This should be an easier presentation than the last because it does not involve so much subjectiveness as previous workshop. 4. Slides of what is down there and what has to be done to get to where we are going. 5. Visual as well as oral presentation! 4. Do you have any additional comments for Improving Board Strategic Planning Workshops? 1. Somehow we need better attendance than the last meeting. 2. More opportunity for open discussion. 3. You might consider breaking the Directors into groups, giving each group a problem and having them present a solution. (Or some variation based on your objectives.) 4. 1 believe we are on the right track by having these workshops. The Sanitation District is too large and complex not to have them. Keep the presentation simple and don't assume too much) 5. Don't be so formal! We are used to study sessions and "rolling up our sleeves" in a workshop setting. 6. Tell us your needs, goals, issues—We are part of the team, and are used to solving problems. 7. Other than the one workshop which was problematic, I think things are going well. 8. The format has been good each time. Very well done. Question time to focus more on what is being covered.
