(5) REPORTS OF THE COMMITTEE CHAIR, GENERAL MANAGER AND GENERAL
COUNSEL
(a) There was no report by the Committee Chairman.
(b) General Manager's Report
The General Manager discussed the draft agenda for the next Strategic Plan
Workshop scheduled for September 21 and asked for input from the members of
the Steering Committee. He also mentioned that staff has been meeting with the
consultants regularly and 39 different ideas have been developed on how to
increase our peaking capacity without spending a lot of money. The number of
options will be reduced before the workshop.
Judy Wilson will be verifying the invitation list with the Communications Director.
The agenda will be revised to allow for only one break,
Nancy Wheatley, Director of Technical Services, addressed a non-agenda item,
the schedule for the issuance of the ocean discharge permit from EPA and the
Regional Board. A"regulatory glitch" has been discovered wherein our draft permit
includes a monitoring requirement within three miles of the shore. This is included
in the 1978 Santa Ana Basin Plan and the Regional Board was not aware of it.
The problem now is how do we work into the process to fix the problem, which is
really a Regional Board problem, not ours, and they are taking the lead to try to
figure out how to proceed. But our permit is now on hold until this is worked out. It
appears that the solution may be to amend the Santa Ana Basin Plan. If the Stale
regulations are amended, it would require hearings and delay the project an
additional six months. At this time neither the Regional Board nor EPA believe we
have violated our permit conditions.
This will be addressed further during the Joint Board meeting tonight (July 24,
1996).
Agenda Item 6(c)was discussed out of sequence to accommodate Nancy
Wheatley's schedule. A letter has been received from the State on the sewering
problems at Bolsa Chica State Beach. Director Collins feels that the State
Department of Parks and Recreation should acknowledge in writing that the
problems at the Beach are their responsibility and that the Districts are assisting
them in finding a solution. General Counsel indicated that the issue of
responsibility can be included in the agreement they are drafting. The Collection
System staff is currently developing O&M costs. This will be presented to the
FAHR Committee and the Joint Boards in September.
(C) There was no report by Counsel.
(6) DISCUSSION ITEMS
Minutes of the Steering Committee Meeting
Page 3
July 24, 1996
(a) Update on Terms and Conditions of Consolidation
Judy Wilson updated the Steering Committee on ongoing activities leading to the
development of terms and conditions to include in the LAFCO application. She
has been meeting with Dana Smith, Executive Director of LAFCO, and our
consultant and terms and conditions are being drafted. The Executive Committee
will consider these issues on September 16. LAFCO has indicated that our report
is satisfactory. Proposed Workplan Items have been developed and will be
discussed further by Staff and the consultant. Staff will be preparing revenue zones
and a three-year budget plan beginning FY '96-97. An update on how we handle
insurance will also be provided.
As a separate matter involving LAFCO, several of the Directors indicated that they
are receiving agendas for meetings of LAFCO's Special Districts Committee very
late because they are being sent to the Districts. Judy Wilson will try to get these
mailed directly to the members of the Committee, rather than to the agencies.
(b) Proposed Chances to the Agenda Process and Format
Penny Kyle, Board Secretary, and Jean Tappan, a member of Agenda Task Force,
explained proposed changes to the agenda process and format. These changes
will allow the Directors to find information in the same place in every report, as well
as reducing paper. The procedures have been revised to make staff more
accountable throughout the process. The use of the same wording in the agenda
item, the agenda and the minutes by copying and pasting will improve efficiency.
Backup information will continue to be provided. The Directors indicated that these
changes appeared to be very positive.
It was moved, seconded and passed that the new format and procedures be
implemented for six months and reviewed after three months.
(c) See General Manager's Comments for discussion on this item.
(d) Agenda Items Scheduled to be Considered by the Working Committees in August
Director Collins indicated that if he is elected Joint Chair at tonight's Boards
meeting, he will be appointing Director Sheldon Singer to serve as Chair of the
PDC Committee.
There will be a FAHR Committee meeting on August 7.
Blake Anderson gave an update on our plans to use EMA to assist us with our
reinvention efforts. They will be performing an assessment of O&M practices.
There are four things that need to coincide: 1) reinvent the organization, 2)
employee visits to Denver and Colorado Springs to see first hand how the new
organization works, 3) meet and confer process to begin skill-based pay program
and cross training, and 4) plant automation—define the operational philosophy. We
need EMA's help in menloring us with a systematic approach, developing teams,
and formulate the change plan. A purchase order in the amount of$49,000 will be
i

issued to EMA. They will meet with our negotiators. A retraining program will be
developed to help employees fill the jobs that we will need under the new program.
This issue, including a longer term contract, will be going to the OMTS Committee
and the Boards in September.
(7) CLOSED SESSION
There was no closed session.
(8) OTHER BUSINESS
Director Brown has received a request for the boundaries of the Los Alamitos Water
District. Talks on consolidating the city and the water district have begun and there are
portions of Seal Beach that may be affected.
(9) MATTERS TO BE REPORTED AT A SUBSEQUENT MEETING
There were no matters to be reported at a subsequent meeting.
(10) MATTERS ON A FUTURE AGENDA FOR ACTION AND A STAFF REPORT

(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 dosed session. The item listed on the dosed session agenda was removed
and discussed during the regular meeting.
(6) OTHER BUSINESS
General Counsel reviewed the items that are 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
yell, 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 Bolsa Chica Stale Beach issue. The newspaper articles
have not been very forthcoming in stating that this is a State Parks and Rec. problem, and
as a result the perception is that we are at fault. The County Health Department and the
state 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.

AGENDA FOR
JULY 24, 1996
Agenda Item (6)(b): Consideration of Revised Agenda Procedures
Summary
In an attempt to streamline the agenda process for staff and the Board members, an
Agenda Task Force was formed in January to review the procedures. The Task Force
consisted of the Board Secretary and her staff, the Committee secretaries, and other
clerical staff involved in the agenda process.
Copies of agenda documents and procedures were obtained from several entities,
including the Los Angeles County Sanitation District, County of Orange, IRWD, and
several cities. After evaluating them, the Task Force decided that the County of
Orange had the procedures and formats that could best be incorporated into our
process. The inclusion of budget information on the Agenda Item Transmittal form itself
is a major improvement and will provide the Directors a quick look at the impact on the
budget.
The major changes are a new Agenda Item Transmittal form and simplified wording for
the agenda and the minutes. These changes have been reviewed by the General
Manager, Assistant General Managers, the Executive Management Team and General
Counsel.
With the Steering Committee's concurrence, all staff members responsible for
preparing agenda items will receive training on the revised procedures and formats in
August, and the "new look" will appear in the September Committee and Boards
agenda packages.
Staff Recommendation
Authorize staff to implement the new agenda procedures beginning with the September
agenda packages.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION(Background'anNor Summary) �..�
In 1990, The Irvine Company notified the Districts that it was proceeding with development plans for the Down
Coast area, between the southerly boundary of Corona Del Mar and Crystal Cove State Park. Included in the
development were improvements to Pacific Coast Highway. The area originally envisioned for the pump station
to serve the development would no longer be available because of the highway improvements, and a new site
was selected.
Staff recommends accepting the easement for the site of the future Crystal Cove Pump Station.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION(8wkgmunE and/or Summary)
In January 1995 the Directors approved the plans and specifications for Contract No. 3-38-2. This work is the
middle reach, but is being completed first because of highway widening along Beach Boulevard through portions
of the City of La Habra. This is a portion of a larger project which will eventually begin at Artesia Boulevard and
Rosrata Avenue and continue, for the most part, northerly in Beach Boulevard in the Cities of Buena Park,
Fullerton, La Mirada, and La Habra. The final reach will be coordinated with the Imperial Highway Smart Street
Project and will extend from Beach Boulevard to Harbor Boulevard in Imperial Highway in the City of La Habra.
This work is needed to upgrade and improve a deficient sewer which was identified in the 1989 Master Plan.
The Master Plan projected the deficiency to be corrected starting in 1994 when the design contract was
awarded. During the intense storm on January 10, 1995, two manholes along this stretch of highway were
reported to have been surcharged and overflowed due to excessive amounts of water draining into the sewer.
The final contract amount is $1,104,882.68.
The work is complete and ready for acceptance by the Directors. The completion of the other reaches will be
done in the future.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION(eackgmrd an wSummary)
In October 1989, the Directors awarded a Professional Services Agreement to John Carollo Engineers for the
preparation of plans and specifications for design and Construction support services related to the expansion and
improvements to the existing secondary treatment facilities at both wastewater treatment plants. The design has
resulted in a total of four different construction contracts which expand the secondary treatment facility capacity
from 46 million gallons per day(mgd) to 80 mgd at Plant No. 1 and from 75 mgd to 90 mgd at Plant No. 2. This
overall design and Construction effort includes extensive structural and mechanical modifications to existing
facilities, expansion of secondary treatment capacity and design of various miscellaneous support facilities. The
design will also provide for the removal of 16 internal combustion engines which cannot be operated because of
restrictions of the South Coast Air Quality Management District's Permit to Operate. The three Central Power
Generation engines at Plant No. 1 and Plant No. 2 are replacing these engines.
The design and Construction effort has required four Amendments to the original Professional Services
Agreement with Carollo. These Board authorized items have raised the total cost for the design and Construction
support effort from $4,997,841.00 to a not-to-exceed cost of$6,639,365.
This project will expand the secondary treatment capability to 80 mgd as noted above, and will include the
construction of ten new secondary clarifiers, expanded return activated sludge and waste activated sludge
pumping Capability, three new Dissolved Air Flow Thickener Tanks and systems, rehabilitation of the existing
secondary clarifiers, rehabilitation of the existing aeration basins with completely new air supply and diffusion
systems, and automation to operate the facility from a remote location. Engineer's estimate for this construction
work was $42,300,000.
There were two addenda associated with the bidding of the work. Addendum No. 1 included modifications to
simplify the bid form, extend the number of days the price will be good until the Board awards this work, clarify
various mechanical specifications, and address potential Contractor issues. Addendum No. 2 better defined
mechanical equipment and addressed potential contractor issues.
The bids reflect the very competitive construction market in Southern California where we currently have many
good contractors competing for few large construction projects. Our engineer's estimate is based on what we
refer to as a normal economy. The low bidder, Margate Construction, Inc. has an ongoing contract at Plant No. 2
which may have had some influence on the low bid in that the Contractor's mobilization and project staffing costs
may be lower than other bidders.
A summary of the submitted construction bids is attached.

AGENDAFOR
J U LY 24, 1996
Agenda Item (6)(C): Request from State of CA Department of Parks
and Recreation for Agreement for Design,
Construction, Operation and Maintenance of
Replacement Sewer in Boise Chica State
Beach.
Summary
Attached is a letter from the State of California Department of Parks and Recreation's
Orange Coast District Supervisor requesting the Districts to enter into an agreement for
design, construction and maintenance of a replacement sewer system for Bolsa Chica
State Beach. The estimated cost of the project is between $800,000 and $1,100,000,
and will be repaid to the Districts according to the terms of a multi-year agreement.
In recent months, all or part of the Bolsa Chica State Beach has been or remains
closed because it is believed that wastewater is leaking from more than 44 breaks in
the sewer system at this beach. This proposed ground-breaking partnership would
serve the people of California well by utilizing the expertise of CSDOC to rebuild and
maintain a reliable sewage collection system that would protect the health of beach
users, and the economic value this beach has to the county. The proposed agreement
would also demonstrate how government agencies can take on roles not historically
considered a part of their charter.
Recommendation
Staff recommends placing request from Slate of California Department of Parks and
Recreation on the agenda for consideration by the Joint Boards of Directors.

RE: Bolsa Chica Sewer Collection System
Dear Mr. Mc Intyre:
This letter is intended to fbirmlly request the County Sanitation Districts of Orange
County(CSDOC)to enter into an agreement with the Orange Coast District of the Department of
Parks&Recreation(DPR)for the design and construction of a replacement sewer collection
system. This system would be placed within Bolsa Chive State Beach. As part of the agreement,
we would include the operation and maintenance ofthe facility for a period acceptable to both
parties. The estimated cost of this projects between$800,000 and$1,100,000.
The CSDOC has the skill,expertise and background capable of performing this project in
an expeditious fashion. The DPR does possess the ability to reimburse the CSDOC for the project
over the term of the agreement. You should be aware however that the agreement will have
language which articulates that we can not bind future legislatures to expenditures. This language
on the surface can appear ominous. It is important to note however that multi-year capital outlay
developments occur routinely throughout the State by virtually every State agency. This language
is a protection required to satisfy a control agency within State Government. Our experience has
been that we meet our obligations in a routine fashion.
This partnership,if entered into,will be the first of its kind for both agencies. The
advantages are many, but most importantly, it is the replacement of a damaged system that
prevents the full, safe use of a popular public beach. By entering into this arrangement, both
parties will be able to demonstrate to the taxpayers how governments are supposed to work in the
public's best interest. If further information would be of use,please do not hesitate to contact my
office. 1 look forward to a positive response from your Board and an agreement in the very near
future.
