(4) RECEIVE, FILE AND APPROVE MINUTES OF PREVIOUS MEETING The minutes of the October 27, 1999 Steering Committee meeting were approved as drafted. Minutes of the Steering Committee Page 2 November 17, 1999 (5) REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE CHAIR The Committee Chair did not make a report. (6) REPORT OF THE GENERAL MANAGER The General Manager asked Blake Anderson and Tom Woodruff to update the members on the recent ruling re the Orange County bankruptcy. The District should receive about 95 cents back for every dollar invested in the pool, and the remaining funds should be available in about four weeks. Blake Anderson mentioned that there may be a legislative bill introduced by State Senator Pulanco on behalf of the Los Angeles County Sanitation District that would prevent counties from banning ordinances on biosolids land applications. (7) REPORT OF GENERAL COUNSEL General Counsel Tom Woodruff reported that in the Directors Board meeting folders is a memo with additional information on the bankruptcy. He also discussed several items that are on the Board's agenda for closed session, as well as recently submitted construction claims. (8) DISCUSSION ITEMS (Items A-B) A. Recommend adopting a Financial Plan to consolidate bookkeeping and rate- setting practices for the District as follows: 1. Combine the assets and liabilities for the separate Revenue Areas Into one Revenue Area. 2. Adopt one Financial Plan. 3. Adopt one user fee rate for Revenue Areas 1-13. 4. Continue to fund Revenue Area 14 by contract with the Irvine Ranch Water District. The rate consolidation issue was discussed at length. The main concern was how to address the area formerly known as Revenue Area 7, which is a very old system and has been identified as needing extensive repair/rehabilitation. IRWD has expressed an interest in taking over these lines by changing its boundary for sewering to include this section of Irvinelrustin, which is already receives water service from IRWD. The portion in Santa Ana would be included within Santa Ana's revenue area. The impacts of removing this area from the District service area on the overall rates in the other revenue areas will be researched and presented to the Steering Committee at the December Steering Committee meeting. The issue of of RA 7 reserves would also have to be considered, as well as considering rate consolidation for all revenue areas except 7 and 14. B. The agenda items scheduled to be presented to the working committees at their December meetings were reviewed with no changes.

FILE AND APPROVE MINUTES OF PREVIOUS MEETING The minutes of the September 22, 1999 Combined Steering and Ad Hoc Committees meeting were approved as drafted. (5) REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE CHAIR Chair Debay welcomed the members of the San Diego Wastewater Management District Advisory Committee, who spent the day with staff and Directors Eckenrode and Swan to discuss our administrative and management policies. Several Directors attended the October 20 Peter Sandman seminar on public outrage, and Director Swan recommended that Mr. Sandman return to address the League of Cities as well as employees of IRWD and other agencies. He indicated that IRWD would help pay the costs. Chair Debay also mentioned that there has been some talk about sewering dry weather flow from the new development planned near Crystal Cove. So far no one has contacted the District. (6) REPORT OF THE GENERAL MANAGER A. The General Manager reported that the November 3 OMTS Committee meeting has been cancelled. And because of a conflict with a League of Cities meeting on November 4, the PDC Committee will meet at 5 p.m. at Edison Field. Next month's Steering Committee agenda will have several major policy issues to discuss, including succession planning and rate consolidation. Several changes in executive management personnel (Mike Peterman's early departure in December rather than January, and Ed Hodges' departure on November 1) make a discussion of the structure of the organization essential as well. Director Silva said that he has had several meetings regarding the problems in Huntington Beach and that the General Manager was in attendance representing the Sanitation District. Director Silva thanked Mr. McIntyre for his positive approach in working with the cities and agencies on this difficult issue. B. Report of the Assistant Manager Bob Ghirelli, Director of Technical Services, reported on the Huntington Beach Closure and Urban Flow Diversion activities. Staff is completing a long list of items and preparing the final report for presentation to the Directors in November. The county and cities have formed a group to look at upstream sources. The Huntington Beach special discharge permit is on tonight's Board agenda. Researchers from UCI are investigating the channel and marshes. NWRI has provided a matching grant of $75,000 for these studies. A panel of experts is being formed to evaluation the event and provide recommendations should it occur again. The outfall dye test was completed and there were no leaks. Questions have arisen, however, on background levels of the ocean and additional studies may be recommended. Minutes of the Steering Committee Page 3 October 27, 1999 Dave Schlesinger indicated that San Diego has also experienced some beach closures as a result of urban water runoff. The work done around Mission Bay, however, has eliminated the problem in that area. Director Silva said that he represents nine cities on the Board of Supervisor: and they have all discussed the major impacts of beach closures. They are developing an MOU for funding studies and will be looking for help from other cities. The Regional Board has sent letters to the cities of Fountain Valley, Huntington Beach, Newport Beach, Seal Beach and Costa Mesa putting them on notice of the possibility for violations if storm drain discharges are determined to be the source of contamination. (7) REPORT OF GENERAL COUNSEL General Counsel did not make a report. (8) DISCUSSION ITEMS (Items A-D) A. Purchasing Resolution and Delegation of Authority Conflicting Committee Actions Staff requested direction from the Steering Committee on how to proceed in the event two of the working committees made differing/conflicting recommendations on the same issue. The Steering Committee members agreed that both recommendations should be presented to the Board in an agenda report and the Board members would decide which recommendation to implement. B. Land Purchase/Lease in Central Valley— Due Diligence Update Bob Ghirelli and Layne Baroldi updated the members on the due diligence activities since the last Steering Committee meeting. A list of deal points has been developed. A formal recommendation will be presented to the Board at the November meeting. It was decided that the OMTS Committee would meet jointly with the FAHR Committee on Wednesday, November 10, to review the issues in detail before presenting to the Board. C. Membership of FAHR subcommittee re Refunds for Yorba Linda Properties Served by Septic Tanks The FAHR Committee recommended the formation of an ad hoc committee to consider refunds for property owners currently on septic systems. However, the members were identified. Chair Debay appointed Tom Saltarelli as chair of the committee, Peer Swan and Lynn Daucher as members of this Ad Hoc Committee. Staff and legal counsel will prepare a report outlining options to present to the Committee. General Counsel Tom Woodruff said that he has had discussions with County legal staff on this matter and concern was expressed about the four-year statute of limitations. Additional legal research is ongoing in order to determine whether Minutes of the Steering Committee Page 4 October 27, 1999 D. The Agenda Items scheduled to be presented to Committees in November were not reviewed. (9) OTHER BUSINESS, COMMUNICATIONS OR SUPPLEMENTAL AGENDA ITEMS, IF ANY There was no other business discussed. (10) MATTERS WHICH A DIRECTOR WOULD LIKE STAFF TO REPORT ON AT A SUBSEQUENT MEETING There were none. (11) MATTERS WHICH A DIRECTOR MAY WISH TO PLACE ON A FUTURE AGENDA FOR ACTION ANDIOR STAFF REPORT There were none. (12) CONSIDERATION OF UPCOMING MEETINGS The next Steering Committee meeting is scheduled for Wednesday, November 17, 1999 at 4 p.m. This meeting will begin one hour earlier to allow additional time for a 6 p.m. closed session discussion with General Counsel and the full Board on the claim of litigation re Crow-Winthrop [pursuant to Government Code Section 54956.9(b)(3)(c)]. The next Board Meeting is scheduled for November 17, 1999 at 7 p.m. (13) CLOSED SESSION The Committee convened at 6:16 p.m. in Closed Session, pursuant to Government Code Sections 54957.6 and 54956.9. Confidential Minutes of the Closed Session held by the Committee have been prepared in accordance with Government Code Section 54957.2 and are maintained by the Board Secretary in the Official Book of Confidential Minutes of Board and Committee Closed Meetings. No reportable action was taken re Agenda Items Nos. 13A(1), 12A(2), 13A(3) and 13A(4). The Committee did not consider Agenda Item No. 13A(5), and no report was given.

A. Orange County Sanitation District FROM: Donald F. McIntyre, General Manager Originator: Gary G. Streed, Director of Finance SUBJECT: PROPOSAL FOR FINANCIAL CONSOLIDATION OF REVENUE AREAS 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 7, 11, 13 AND 14, AND FOR A SINGLE USER FEE RATE STRUCTURE FOR CURRENT REVENUE AREAS 1-13 (IRWD, RA14, TO CONTINUE TO BE BILLED ACTUAL COSTS) GENERAL MANAGER'S RECOMMENDATION The General Manager recommends adoption of a financial plan to consolidate bookkeeping and rate-setting practices for the District as follows: 1. Combine the assets and liabilities for the separate Revenue Areas into one Revenue Area. 2. Adopt one financial plan. 3. Adopt one user fee rate. For Revenue Areas 1-13. 4. Continue to fund Revenue Area 14 by contract with the Irvine Ranch Water District. SUMMARY Because of the variance in rates and abilities to pay among the Revenue Areas, the recent consolidation of the individual Districts into one District, and a shift in our focus to a regional focus and mission, some Directors and staff have considered a basic change in the bookkeeping and rate-setting practices for the District. Basically, this change would combine the assets and liabilities for the separate Revenue Areas into one Revenue Area and then adopt one financial plan, including one user fee rate. Revenue Area 14 would continue to be funded by existing contract with the Irvine Ranch Water District. There are certain advantages to a one District, one rate policy. • Bookkeeping and accounting are simplified • Auditing is simplified • Issuing long-term financing is simplified • Staffing and financing costs are reduced • Establishing sewer service fees is simplified • The annual sewer service fee would have been decreased substantially for 203,620 EDUs in 1999-2000 (average decrease is $18.08). 1YMonWeblMy.NeNnVlMrenerF�XRISTFFRING COMM=EURPmpaeelR..Sru E¢ R_.m � Page 1 There are also disadvantages and special situations that must be taken into consideration. • The annual sewer service fee would have been increased for 651,000 EDUs in 1999-2000 (increase is $1/yr. for 548,700 EDUs and $11/yr. for 102,300 EDUs). • Revenue Area 13 receives none of the property taxes paid by users. • Revenue Area 14 is funded by the IRWD and receives no property tax or user fees directly from property owners. • Revenue Areas 13 and 14 have very little debt and have paid "cash" for most of their share of facilities. • Each of the Revenue Areas has different levels of cash reserves and net assets. PROJECT/CONTRACT COST SUMMARY N/A BUDGETIMPACT ❑ This item has been budgeted. ❑ This item has been budgeted, but there are insufficient funds. ❑ This item has not been budgeted. ® Not applicable (information item) ADDITIONAL INFORMATION See attached Staff Report. ALTERNATIVES Some Directors have agreed that the annual sewer service user fee in RA 1 is higher than may be appropriate, but may not yet be willing to consolidate the fees. A potential alternative is for the other RA's to compensate RA 1 for the assessed value and property tax lost to regional governmental tax-exempt properties. In order for the average assessed value per EDU in RA 1 to equal the average, $3,563,463,200 would need to be added to the RA 1 assessed value. At the equivalent tax rate in RA 1, that additional value would generate $983,337. Using the assessed value per capita method, the additional property taxes would be $1,861,197. If RA 1 had additional revenues of this amount, the SFR annual user fee could be reduced from $110.04 to $84,70.

In 1954 County Sanitation Districts of Orange County Nos. 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 7 and 11 joined together to own and operate treatment and disposal facilities. Between 1954 and 1979 these Districts established annual budgets and property tax rates in order to provide necessary sewage collection treatment and disposal services. The individual property tax rates were a function of both financial need and property assessed valuation. The passage of Proposition 13 in 1978 changed the funding process. No longer were the Districts able to establish property tax rates sufficient to meet their needs. In fact, the Districts had no control over property tax rates. Additionally, assessed values were reduced for many parcels and future assessed value growth was limited. In 1979, in an effort to develop a permanent tax allocation method to implement Proposition 13, the State Legislature adopted Assembly Bill 8. Basically, AB 8 allocates the total "1°% basic levy" collected within the County, adjusted first for redevelopment agencies, to each of the taxing agencies in the same ratios as those agencies received property taxes in 1979-80. Since both the ratios and the 1% rate are fixed, the only property tax variable is assessed value. Because the various Sanitation Districts had a pay-as-you-go philosophy and differing capital and operating funding needs in the late 1970's, they had differing property tax rates. The result of all of this is differing "effective tax rates" in each of the current Revenue Areas as follows: RIA 1998-99 AV Effective Tax Rate Tax Allocation 1 $ 8 513 664 662 .00027595 $1 797 414 2 35,082,620,856 .00028162 9,879,842 3 33 838,165 681 .00031991 10,825,321 5 10,871,149,227 .00026484 2,879,152 6 5,934,887,167 .00022281 1,322,326 7 16,034,002,091 .00019568 3,137,591 11 9,021,892,230 .00024819 2,239,175 13 2,796,831,476 NIA NIA 14 14 495 514,969 NIA NIA OCSD • P.O.Box 8127 . Fountain Valley,CA 92728-8127 • (714) 962-2411 Proposed Rate Structure Page 2 November 2, 1999 "Supplemental" User Fees In 1979 the Board of Directors adopted a Revenue Program. Such a program was a requirement of the Federal Clean Water Act and of the Districts' participation in the Clean Water Grant program. The Revenue Program provided that property taxes would continue to be the basic revenue source for the Districts. All industrial users and large commercial users would pay an additional charge based upon their actual quantity and strength of sewage discharged to our system. Finally, as property tax and other revenues became insufficient to fund the costs of operating, maintaining, rehabilitating and constructing necessary sewerage facilities, a"supplemental" user fee was authorized for all users. The need for these supplemental user fees did not arise in each of the Districts at the same time or in the same magnitude. The following schedule indicates the initiation date and rate, the current rate, and the projected rate in ten years. The amounts shown are the annual rates for a single-family residence. different rates are charged for multi- family and for non-residential users.

Basically, this change would combine the assets and liabilities for the separate Revenue Areas into one Revenue Area and then adopt one financial plan, including one user fee rate. Revenue Area 14 would continue to be funded by existing contracts with the Irvine Ranch Water District. There are certain advantages to a one District, one rate policy. • Bookkeeping and accounting are simplified • Auditing is simplified Proposed Rate Structure Page 3 November 2, 1999 • Issuing long-term financing is simplified • Staffing and financing costs are reduced • Establishing sewer service fees is simplified • The annual sewer service fee would be decreased substantially for 203,620 EDUs in 1999-2000 (average decrease is $18.08). There are also disadvantages and special situations that must be taken into consideration. • The annual sewer service fee would be increased for 651,000 EDUs in 1999-2000 (increase is $1/yr. for 548,700 EDUs and $11/yr. for 102,300 EDUs). • Revenue Area 13 receives none of the property taxes paid by users. • Revenue Area 14 is funded by the IRWD and receives no property tax or user fees directly from property owners. • Revenue Areas 13 and 14 have very little debt and have paid "cash" for most of their share of facilities. • Each of the Revenue Areas has different levels of cash reserves and net assets. Issues Outstanding Debt All of the Revenue Areas have issued some certificates of participation (COPS) to pay for collection and treatment facilities. The annual principal and interest payments are made from property taxes. User fees are used for some of the COP service in Revenue Area 1, and for all of it in Revenue Areas 13 and 14. The outstanding COPS in Revenue Areas 13 and 14 amount to $1,998,245. This debt could be sold to the District thereby taking it off the books of RA 13 and 14, along with an equal amount of cash, and putting it on the books of the District. In this manner the current debt service of the District would continue to be paid from property taxes. Since Revenue Areas 13 and 14 receive no property taxes and would have no outstanding COPs, they would not be participating. Future COPS would be issued by the District, and principal and interest payments would be made from future user fees. Cash Reserves and Net Assets While we all prefer to measure our economic or financial position by considering our cash and other assets, a more proper measure for the District would be net assets. In our case, net assets is the sum of our cash reserves and fixed assets, less the sum of accumulated depreciation, outstanding debt and other liabilities. The distribution of net assets is shown in the following table: Proposed Rate Structure Page 4 November2, 1999 NET ASSETS Total Per Per$1,000 R/A Net Assets Capita Per MG Per EDU Per Acre AV 1 $35 927 871 $ 159 $3 820 $ 494 $2 983 $ 5.52 2 263,057,403 426 9 5" 984 3,874 7.50 3 265 754,909 371 10.039 945 4.068 7.85 5 65,881,509 1264 19207 2361 5600 6.06 6 43,303,875 403 12089 993 4414 7.30 7 97507794 614 10,817 953 4,362 6.08 11 62:853:871 1 532 11,434 1,232 6,205 6.97 13 21,614,474 1 158 20 238 2 573 947 .I s 14 69,025,873 N/A 29211 NIA 1.187 24.68 Property Taxes We have previously discussed the differing shares of the property tax basic levy allocated to the individual Revenue Areas. One additional consideration is the total amount of the 1% basic levy. This tax levy is a result of Proposition 13, which limited the total basic property tax within the State to 1% of the assessed value. The base year assessed value was established as the value in 1975, thus removing four years of increased value from the tax roll. The District's service area includes a wide variety of properly development, use, and value. There are very high value properties and very low value properties. There are properties with the 1975 value and there are properties developing and selling today. There are even properties with no assessed value. Whatever the assessed value, the District receives an average of 2.7% of the 1% basic levy. That is $27 a year for an assessed value of$100,000. Revenue Area 1 has the majority of the parcels with no assessed valuation, and which pay no property taxes. This is because the County seat and several State and Federal facilities are located in that area. It also has a concentration of some of the older homes and businesses in the County. The average assessed value in RA 1 is less than half of the average value per capita in RA 2-13, and only 64% of the average value per EDU. Clearly RA 1 receives a disproportionately low share of the property tax, while providing a disproportionately large share of regional services such as courts, jails and county administration for our service area. Revenue Area 14 The Irvine Ranch Water District provides local sewer service to all of Revenue Area 14. There are several agreements and contracts dating back to 1985 that contain the details of the IRWD connection to the District. In the simplest of terms, the IRWD is billed Proposed Rate Structure Page 5 November 2, 1999 directly for the Revenue Area 14 share of operating, maintenance, capital improvement, and certificate of participation costs. Treatment plant 0&M and capital costs are based upon actual flows. Neither the alternative nor the proposal is expected to change any of the provisions of the existing agreements. It should be noted that the information for Revenue Area 14 in the tables that summarize the alternative and the proposal is estimated. IRWD bills its customers directly; the Revenue Area 14 user fee is not collected on the property tax bill. The number of users and the annual cost per user are estimated based upon the Strategic Plan estimate of 260 gallons per day per EDU; the actual Revenue Area 14 flow and the average annual 0&M and capital charges to IRWD. Neither the alternative nor the proposal includes collecting Revenue Area 14 user fees on the property tax bill. Alternative Proposal Some Directors have agreed that the annual sewer service user fee in RA 1 is higher than may be appropriate, but are not yet willing to consolidate the fees. A potential alternative is for the other RA's to compensate RA 1 for the assessed value and property tax lost to regional governmental tax-exempt properties. In order for the average assessed value per EDU in RA 1 to equal the average, $3,563,463,200 would need to be added to the RA 1 assessed value. At the equivalent tax rate in RA 1, that additional value would generate $983,337. Using the assessed value per capita method, the additional property taxes would be $1,861,197. If RA 1 had additional revenues of this amount, the SFR annual user fee could be reduced from $110.04 to $134.70 as shown in the following table. 1999-2000 Prop Tax Revised RAMEDUSFR Rate Reimb/EDU SFR RATE 1 $110.04 $ 25.64 $84.70 2 76.00 2.13 78.13 3 76.00 2.13 78.13 5 87.50 2.13 89.63 6 80.00 2.13 82.13 7 66.00 2,13 68.13 1190.00 2.13 92.13 13 100.00 2.13 102.13 14' 23 800 84.03 2.13 88.18 'RA 14 EDU and Rate are estimated from average daily Bow and$2 million per year contribution. Proposed Consolidated Rate While the alternative may satisfy the financial equity considerations surrounding land use and regional general governmental facilities, it does not resolve the long-term regional sewerage service issues, nor does it bring the District's financial practices and policies into alignment with the streamlined governance provided by consolidation. This Proposed Rate Structure Page 6 November 2, 1999 can only be accomplished through combining the financial records, plans, assets, liabilities, revenues and expenditures. The impact on the individual ratepayer is minimal if the Financial Plan is redeveloped to consider the District as a single entity.

Attachments Several documents are attached that will help the reader to make comparisons and to see the "big picture." A copy of the Summary Cash Flow Projection from the 1999-2000 Budget shows the ending cash and reserves for all of the Revenue Areas for each year to 2008-09, line 16, and the weighted average SFR user fee, line 17. This schedule has been revised as if all of the Revenue Areas had been combined and titled, One District-One Rate Cash Flow Projection. The pertinent balances and rates are on the same lines. This schedule eliminates any intra-District payments such as loans, and the annual joint works equity purchase and sale. A two page Combining Balance Sheet schedule from the June 30, 1998 financial statements is enclosed. This schedule shows the assets, liabilities and fund equity of each of the Revenue Areas and the combined total for all of the Revenue Areas, or the District. The proposal would eliminate the accounting and accounts by Revenue Area, shown as"District No. X"for 1998, and would result in the single column of accounts shown as I99B." The balances shown as "Due From Other Districts" and "Due to Other Districts" would be offset or eliminated. A chart showing the annual SFR rates projected in the budget for each year to 2008-09 is also included. Plotted across these columns are two line graphs. The first, the red Proposed Rate Structure .9 Page 7 November 2, 1999 line, is the weighted average of the currently projected rates. The second, the green line represents the proposed single rate for the entire District, except current Revenue Area 14 whose share will continue to be paid in accordance with existing agreements by the Irvine Ranch Water District.
