Box 8127 • 10844 Ellis Avenue No(s)41 � �/� Fountain Valley,CA 92728-8127 SEP 251996 Telephone: (714) 962-2411 By DRAFT NUTES OF THE STEERING COMMITTEE Wednesday, August 28, 1996 - 5:30 p.m. A meeting of the Steering Committee of the County Sanitation Districts Nos. 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 7, 11, 13 and 14 of Orange County, California was held Wednesday, August 28, 1996, at 5:30 p.m., at the Districts'Administrative office. (1) ROLL CALL The roll was called and a quorum declared present, as follows: STEERING COMMITTEE: OTHERS PRESENT: Present: STAFF PRESENT: John J. Collins, Joint Chair Blake P. Anderson, Assistant General Manager Peer A. Swan, Vice Joint Chair Judith A. Wilson, Assistant General Manager George Brown, Chair, FAHR Jean Tappan, Committee Secretary Pat McGuigan, Chair, OMTS Sheldon Singer, Chair, PDC Absent: John C. Cox, Jr., Past Joint Chair Roger Stanton, Vice Chair, FAHR (2) APPOINTMENT OF CHAIR PRO TEM No appointment was necessary. (3) PUBLIC COMMENTS There were no comments by any member of the public. (4) APPROVAL OF MINUTES The minutes of the July 24, 1996 Steering Committee meeting were approved as drafted. v � e Minutes of the Steering Committee Meeting Page 2 August 28, 1996 (5) REPORTS OF THE COMMITTEE CHAIR, GENERAL MANAGER AND GENERAL COUNSEL (a) The Committee Chairman announced that while the agenda is short for the Joint Board meeting tonight, it could be a long meeting because of the closed session items. It was moved, seconded and passed to add to discussion items under Agenda Item (6); (d) a discussion of the agreement with the Orange County Water District for GAP water, and (a) the Silverado Construction Company dewatering issue. (b) There was no report by the General Manager because he was on vacation. (c) There was no report by Counsel. (6) DISCUSSION ITEMS (a) Orange County Reclamation Protect. Blake Anderson gave the members of the Steering Committee an update on the status of the project as well as some background information because the Districts has received an unsolicited proposal from Wheelabrator-Caroilo (W-C) on this project which could prove to be very advantageous to the Districts, as well as moving the reclamation project towards completion. It appears that the major stumbling blocks for the project in the eyes of the Orange County Water District are funding and rate impacts. Blake described the activities that are underway, including several research studies. The W-C proposal, a"what-if' proposal, would provide the finance, design, construction, operation and maintenance of the 100 mgd reclamation project through a private contract with a prenegotiated rate of return, open books, and a fast-track construction project. Any reclamation project could significantly reduce the amount of water going through the outfall, resulting in large savings, and would change the recommendations in the Strategic Plan. With a start date of 1997, the project could be on line by 1999-2000. This project has been discussed with Bill Mills, and W-C will be making a presentation to OCWD staff on September 9. The Committee members indicated that if the project pencils out, they will continue to listen. The largest issue at this time is whether this project could be sole- sourced. Staff has requested an opinion from General Counsel. Staff will keep the Steering Committee updated on this very interesting project proposal. Minutes of the Steering Committee Meeting Page 3 August 28, 1996 (b) Update on Labor Negotiations. Judy Wilson reported that negotiations are underway with Local 501. The first meeting is scheduled for September 4. A proposal has also been received from the Professional and Supervisory Group. They are requesting that their negotiations also begin at this time. Judy also discussed the role of the labor negotiators that the Districts have hired. (c) September Working Committee Agenda Items. The items being presented to the Committees in September were discussed. There are two items relating to the Boise Chica sewer replacement, a contract for the design and a reimbursement agreement. New issues have surfaced which could cause some delay. Among those are the need for the state to get capital authorization to proceed. Blake also mentioned that the Surfriders have asked for an update on the status of this project. If the state is having problems getting authorization, the Surfriders may be willing to assist in a PR campaign. Chair Collins expressed his concern that we will still be blamed for this problem. The public will perceive the Districts as being at fault and that's why we're fixing the sewer for the state, or that the Districts has so much money we can afford to fix the state's problem. He stated that we need to improve the public relations. He is also concerned that the state has never publicly stated that they are at fault as well as acknowledging that we have offered to help. Directors Brown and Swan suggested that the only way to get people's attention is to close the beach by going to the Orange County Health Department and expressing our concern. However, the only way the OC Health Department can close the beach is if the bacterial numbers are not being met. (d) Negotiations with OCWD for GAP Water. Staff is seeking authorization to re- negotiate the purchase of GAP water from the Orange County Water District. The issues to be discussed include the pricing, term of the agreement and interruptibility of service. (a) Dewatering Problems re East Foothill Transportation Corridor. Silverado Construction is the contractor on this project which has encountered very high groundwater at an under crossing and has asked for our help in solving this problem, which is located in District 14 and in IRWD's service area. There are two issues. The first is dewatering during construction (about 2.2 mgd) and the second is dewater after construction (about 500,000 gpd). At the time the project was designed, it was thought that the water could be discharged to Peters Canyon Wash, however, the nitrate concentrations are too high. The present thinking is that IRWD will charge for conveying the water to our Main Street Pump Station and then we would back out the 2.2 mgd coming from District 14 and we would then charge the normal O&M costs and annual capital costs for the two years of construction dewatering. Director Swan indicated that there is a possibility of discharging to a desalter in the Minutes of the Steering Committee Meeting Page 4 August 28, 1996 future, and that would eliminate some of the problems. At this time the plan is to present the agreement to the October committees and the Boards. Judy mentioned that there is also a need for an agreement with the Transportation Corridor Agency and Cal-Trans and that there will be wording that makes the agreement transferrable in the future. This is an example of the types of issues the newly formed Rate Advisory Committee will be addressing in coming months. (7) CLOSED SESSION There was no closed session. (8) OTHER BUSINESS There was no other business discussed. (9) MATTERS TO BE REPORTED AT A SUBSEQUENT MEETING Director Swan suggested that a status report be made to the OMITS Committee on how the plant is operating, indicating any problems and fixes. (10) MATTERS ON A FUTURE AGENDA FOR ACTION AND A STAFF REPORT No matters were identified. (11) CONSIDERATION OF UPCOMING MEETINGS Director McGuigan announced that because there was only one item scheduled for the OMTS Committee in September, she would be announcing at the Joint Boards Meeting that the September 4, 1996 OMTS Committee meeting will be canceled. The next meeting of the Steering Committee has been scheduled for September 25, 1996 at 5:30 p.m. Minutes of the Steering Committee Meeting Page 5 August28, 1996 (12) ADJOURNMENT The Steering Committee adjourned at approximately 7:05 p.m. Submitted by: n Tappan, Stekirt Committee Secretary J.PWC4NSIR{O ..�UGgp$w MM STATE OF CALIFORNIA ) ) SS.

(1) ROLL CALL The roll was called and a quorum declared present, as follows: STEERING COMMITTEE: OTHERS PRESENT: Thomas L. Woodruff, General Counsel Present: John C. Cox, Jr., Joint Chair George Brown, Chair, FAHR STAFF PRESENT: John J. Collins, Chair, PDC Donald F. McIntyre, General Manager Pat McGuigan, Chair, OMTS Blake P.

Swan, Vice Joint Chair (2) APPOINTMENT OF CHAIR PRO TEM No appointment was necessary. (3) PUBLIC COMMENTS There were no comments by any member of the public. (4) APPROVAL OF MINUTES The minutes of the June 26, 1996 Steering Committee meeting were approved with revisions. Minutes of the Steering Committee Meeting Page 2 July 24, 1996 (5) REPORTS OF THE COMMITTEE CHAIR, GENERAL MANAGER AND GENERAL COUNSEL (a) There was no report by the Committee Chairman. (b) General Managers 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 1976 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 State 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 y � 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 18. 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 Changes 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 mentoring us with a systematic approach, developing teams, and formulate the change plan. A purchase order in the amount of$49,000 will be v d Minutes of the Steering Committee Meeting Page 4 July 24, 1996 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 There were no matters for a future agenda.
