Staff has prepared declarative statements on existing and new programs as the basis for developing the unifying strategies. B. Progress towards Achieving 30/30 Secondary Treatment Standards Bob Ooten reported on the progress in the last month. Mr.Anderson reported that a 'blue ribbon' panel has been formed that will review the proposed secondary treatment construction schedule and its findings will form the basis for the negotiated construction schedule that will be part of the terms and conditions of the permit we eventually receive from EPA and the Regional Water Quality Control Board. C. Disinfection Update Mr. Ooten reported on the status of the disinfection work and results received. He said that there were two days when the numbers were high and did not meet operating targets, but were still below the permit limits. Bob Ghirelli reported that the beach was 'hot'on one of days when we had high readings, but the beach monitoring was done before our maintenance shutdown. We have always been in compliance with recreational permit levels. D. State Budget Crisis Mr.Anderson reported on the meetings about the state budget crisis that are being attended or monitoring. He reviewed possible losses under different scenarios. The impacts of a successful legal challenge to the tax assessor's practice of accelerating the annual Proposition 13 properly tax escalation rate were discussed.

Update on State and Federal Legislative Activities Bob Ghirelli updated the members on another potential impact on our budget as a result of the state budget crisis. Discussions are underway to reduce the funding of the Water Resources Board through the state General Fund and supplement their needs by increasing waste discharge fees. Meetings are underway on how to allocate monies received from ACA 11, should it pass when presented to the voters in 2004. Staff continues to work on developing a legislative proposal to get better science and more consistency on the biosolids issue and to have them regulated just like water discharges. On the federal level, our consultant feels that Congress is close to enacting the spending bill. The process for seeking funding next year is underway. Jim Colston is preparing a briefing book for electeds. There is a need for Directors to meet with the Orange County delegation to press our case. The goal is to get a letter from them seeking money for secondary treatment from Congress. Director McCracken reported that she is forming a Legislative Ad Hoc Committee to keep current with the legislative consultants while Congress is in session. She has asked Jim Silva and Jim Ferryman to serve on this committee with her. Mr. Anderson reported on his efforts in Sacramento to get Proposition 218language changed to allow the District to impose fees for treating urban runoff.

Book Page 4 Minutes of the Steering Committee Page 2 December 18, 2002 (4) RECEIVE FILE AND APPROVE MINUTES OF PREVIOUS MEETING The minutes of the November 20, 2002 Steering Committee meeting were approved as drafted. (5) REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE CHAIR Committee Chair Shirley McCracken reported on the CASA and Orange County Leadership Symposium events scheduled for January. (6) REPORT OF THE GENERAL MANAGER General Manager Blake Anderson reported on: A. Achieving 30/30 Secondary Treatment Standards Mr.Anderson reported that we are close to reaching optimum numbers with the optimizing of existing secondary facilities. B. Biosolids Mr. Anderson reported that staff continues to use three alternatives for biosolids disposal. The ban on Class B biosolids takes effect in Kent County in January and in Kings County in February. It is our intent to keep all options available as long and as economically as possible. C. Disinfection Operational objectives are being met and we are getting extraordinary results, well under the AB 411 standards at the outfall, which means we are also achieving the standards at the state's 3-mile limit and with certainty in the surf at Huntington Beach and Newport Beach. However, Station 9N, near the AES Power Plant, is still experiencing elevated bacterial counts. Shore and offshore studies continue. There will be a special discussion on this issue at the February 19 Special Board Workshop. (7) REPORT OF GENERAL COUNSEL The SAW PA update will be discussed in Closed Session because of information received from the Regional Board. General Counsel Tom Woodruff reported that his fine is one of six being considered for providing legal services to the Orange County Water District. The directors discussed the potential for a conflict of interest. Chair McCracken indicated that there did not seem to be a conflict, and should one occur, it would be handled appropriately at that time. (8) DISCUSSION ITEMS (Items A-E) A. Low Interest Loans for Converting Residences from Septic Tanks to Sewer Connections This item is on the agenda at the request of Director Steve Anderson as a result of the septic tank retirement program in La Habra. He asked about providing loans to assist with sewer connections. Gary Streed reported on the program that had been offered in the past and stated that Book Page 5 Minutes of the Steering Committee Page 3 December 18, 2002 there was very little interest. The details of the proposed program were discussed. Because there is no conclusive information on how many residences are still on septic tanks, it is difficult to determine how extensive to make the program. Director Anderson suggested that the policy be considered as part of the urban runoff Initiative as septic systems could very well be a major contributor to urban runoff. Staff was directed to continue work on this issue and a search will be undertaken for a model that might meet our needs. B. Directors Handbook Greg Mathews reviewed the draft handbook and asked the committee members to e- mail suggested questions for the Frequently Asked Questions section. C. Sacramento Outreach Efforts during 2003 Blake Anderson introduced Scott Baugh, who reported on our successes during the 2002 legislative session and the impacts of the budget deficit on the year ahead. He spoke to the two initiatives that were successfully put forward on behalf of the District and issues that are anticipated for 2003 and beyond. He expects that much time will be required protecting our revenues through defensive maneuvering. Bob Ghirelli provided a draft staff report on the history of legislative advocacy at OCSD and the issues staff will be working on with our state and federal representatives. The final strategy plan will be returned to the committee in January with more details. The directors were asked to review the report to ensure the strategies staff is undertaking are appropriate and no changes were recommended. Mr.Anderson asked the directors for any specific comments and for direction on the initiatives and the approach staff is taking to pursue them. None were provided. D. The Agenda Items scheduled to be reviewed by the FAHR Committee in January were reviewed. The other working committees will be dark. E. The agenda items scheduled to be presented to the Board at tonight's meeting were reviewed. There were no questions posed to staff. (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 AND/OR STAFF REPORT There were none.

Anderson, General Manager SUBJECT: Review of Contract with Manatt, Phelps, and Phillips, LLP GENERAL MANAGER'S RECOMMENDATION: Discussion re contract issued to Manatt, Phelps, and Phillips, LLP (primarily represented by Scott Baugh, Esq.) for legislative advocacy services SUMMARY: At the request of Director Eckenrode, staff has been asked to provide a review of the contract with Manatt, Phelps and Phillips, LLP, whose work for us is provided by Scott Baugh, Esq., and others in its Sacramento and Orange County offices. As part of and support for the District's ongoing outreach and advocacy efforts, the District has participated in a number of professional associations and organizations for over thirty years. In the last five years, we have increasingly utilized the services of consultants for maintaining communication with our state and federal legislatures. See the report accompanying this agenda report for a full discussion of these related activities. Your General Manager first secured the services of the Manatt fine during the first quarter of 2001 for the purpose of working on county-wide and state-wide initiatives relating to biosolids management, brine management, watershed management, and pending legislation that would potentially have impact on the Sanitation District. The reason for using the Manatt firm, and the efforts of Scott Baugh in particular, was because of the help and effectiveness Mr. Baugh provided in his role as an assemblyman. He authored the bill that allowed us to consolidate our districts into a single governing district. He was also helpful and creative in securing early state funding assistance in 1999 and 2000 for addressing the beach pollution issues in Huntington Beach. We also knew that the Manatt firm, with its extraordinary mix of Republican and Democrat attorneys and other professionals, would provide us wide access to both sides of the aisle of the legislature and to the Governor's Office. In retrospect, this expectation has been well met. During that first year, our principal contact at the Manatt firm, Scott Baugh, who had recently left the legislature, was not and could not be utilized for lobbying of the legislature. While some of those initiatives were started, the controversy over our level of treatment quickly overwhelmed the time and attention of your General Manager, key staff members and our consultants. Book Page 10 G\^➢NNGaMYSm,InOCm,nEMRJVWI]PJ MaMOM Noa.'rIWM1Jrc R. s„ vlm Page 1 During the 2002 legislative year, two important bills were successfully sheparded through the legislature with the help and active involvement of the Manatt firm, primarily through the efforts of Mr. Baugh: AB 1892 (Harmon)This bill allows the Sanitation District to intercept, treat, recycle and dispose of urban runoff flow. It received opposition from some members of the environmental community. Mr. Baugh was able to explain the purpose and intent of the bill to members and staff of the legislature and to the Governor's office, effectively neutralizing the affect of the opposition. It was passed unanimously in the legislature and signed by the Governor. We are now in a position to work closely with Orange County and the several cities managing urban runoff, with full state authorization to do so. AB 1969 (Maddox, then Campbell) This bill was originally introduced by Assemblyman Maddox. It was poorly thought-out and we told the legislature so, through the help of Mr. Baugh. It would have mandated that the Sanitation District achieve full secondary treatment standards in the absence of the then pending scientific, technical, and fiscal information that was under preparation by District staff at the direction of the Board. It would have precluded our board of directors from considering any other alternative. It would have interfered with the well-established regulatory responsibilities and processes of the California Regional Water Quality Control Board and the federal Environmental Protection Agency. And, finally, it would have subjected the Sanitation District to mandatory state penalties. For these reasons, it was ultimately stopped in the Senate. Then, the bill was significantly modified and reintroduced by Assemblyman Bill Campbell at our urging and with the help of Mr. Baugh. The final version of the bill provides the Sanitation District with up to 10 years to achieve secondary treatment standards without incurring mandatory state fines for non-compliance during the interim period. AB 1969 (Campbell) passed the legislature and was signed by the Governor. It provides this board and the public with sufficient assurance that the Sanitation District can do the right thing, move in an orderly fashion to secondary treatment standards, and not unfairly incur mandatory state penalties. With this assurance in hand, we could confidently submit our application for a secondary treatment standards-based ocean discharge permit. For the 2003 legislative year, the Sanitation District staff, with initial consultation with the Steering Committee in December, has recommended that the following initiatives be pursued: Urban Runoff Management Fees: While the Sanitation District now has the discretion to manage urban runoff, it remains unclear how the operating and capital construction costs associated with these activities will be funded. Our current understanding of the constitutional provisions of Proposition 218 is that fees collected for the purpose of urban runoff require voter approval. Staff has proposed that we attempt to slightly modify the provisions of Proposition 218 to extend the discretionary authority wastewater agencies have for raising Book Page I I ��w.mwa���e �p c�.,.n��a,e,am w,an,w aaac�a Rw�.ac Rim MW Page 2 wastewater management fees to include urban runoff management fees. This would significantly improve the likelihood that we will actually have the money to participate in long-term and large-scale urban runoff projects for the purpose of improving ocean and beach quality in Orange County. Regulatory Responsibility for Biosolids Management: As the directors will recall, the Sanitation District's efforts to effectively manage biosolids through the appropriate recycling as a nutrient and soil amendment for non-food crops has been frustrated by a number of contradictory and poorly thought-out county ordinances. Our experience is not unique. Today, cities and special districts throughout the state are facing equally daunting challenges and barriers raised by counties. It is our observation and belief that the California Regional Water Quality Control Boards, under the general direction of the California State Water Resources Control Board, are far better suited to provide consistent and appropriated regulatory oversight for the management of biosolids. The RWQCBs now effectively oversee and regulate the discharge of 1.5 billion gallons of treated wastewater throughout the state. Because biosolids management is such an integral part of wastewater treatment and because biosolids can impact the surface waters and groundwaters of this state, it is logical and appropriate for the RWQCBs to provide regulatory oversight to biosolids as well. It is our intention, perhaps in partnership with the California Association of Sanitation Agencies, to ask the legislature to change state law to direct the RWQCBs to do so. Dealing with the State Budget Crisis: The state's $35 billion budget deficit will impact thousands of programs and initiatives around California. Nearly all public agencies will suffer some degree of impact. It is staff's intention, under the direction of the board, to develop an appropriate response to any proposals developed by the administration or by the legislature and to communicate that response as effectively as possible. We are working with a number of state-wide organizations and will utilize the services of our legislative consultants to diligently monitor all developments in Sacramento and to quickly marshal a response. ACA 11: During the 2002 legislative year, Assembly Constitutional Amendment 11 was approved for the March 2004 ballot. It provides a very complicated formula for providing a portion of the state's General Fund to public infrastructure grants. If approved by the voters, ACA 11 will, when the state's future revenues are sufficient, provide funding to eligible infrastructure projects here in Orange County. There remains today considerable uncertainty and controversy about how the money will be distributed. Naturally, the Sanitation District and other Orange County entities want to be assured of their fair share of these much needed and sought-after future funds. It will be our task during 2003 to see that Orange County's fair share is assured as the formulas for distributing the funding are created by the legislature and approved by the governor. What's Ahead The Manatt firm can competently provide help in achieving these initiatives through the legislature and the administration during calendar year 2003. The Manatt firm is also the principle Sacramento consultant for the County of Oran jtPAA2 G Mq.Me%OenEel ng CamXO�VUW Merrell M eMacery re Mrt �rz�: wla Page 3 deeply involved in the County's Municipal Stormwater Permit. Scott Baugh and other members of the Manatt firm have provided Sanitation District staff and its General Manager with remarkable access to the legislature and the administration and have provided strategic ideas that have led to our remarkable success during 2002. Staff plans to utilize the services of Manatt, Phelps, and Phillips, LLP, during 2003 unless otherwise directed by the Board. Its services are procured on a month-to-month retainer of$5,000 per month unless otherwise negotiated to an escalated rate of up to $10,000 per month. This may occur during extraordinary periods of time demands of their staff. These rates are normal and customary and are in keeping with the experience and practice of other public agencies here in Orange County procuring similar professional services. Your General Manager will report to and seek direction from the Steering Committee every month during 2003 as our Sacramento legislative efforts unfold. ATTACHMENTS 1.

Traditionally, the district worked indirectly with other wastewater treatment facilities associations. 1970s-1990s Beginning in the 1970s, OCSD became a founding member of the Association of Metropolitan Sewerage Agencies (AMSA). AMSA is the premier, national wastewater association. They participate in all aspects of wastewater treatment facilities from management and operation to funding, legislative and regulatory development, litigation, and cooperation with regulators and non-governmental organizations. OCSD's Board and management have been active participants in AMSA conferences, committees, and initiatives. Past Presidents include Fred Harper and J. Wayne Sylvester. At this time, OCSD also joined the California Ocean Dischargers (COD) to address issues particular to large California dischargers. This group addressed issues regarding the California Ocean Plan and the Clean Water Act §301(h) waiver program. This group disbanded as more formal activities were led by local and state associations. Although not directly involved in legislative activities, the Southern California Alliance of POTWs (SCAP) was created in the 1980s to address local and statewide regulatory and quasi-regulatory actions, especially with the Regional Water Quality Control Boards and South Coast Air Quality Management District. At this same time, OCSD became more involved in the California Association of Sanitation Agencies (CASA). Initially, legislative efforts were focused on contracts, public meetings and records requirements, and governance issues. However, more recent efforts have focused on permitting, enforcement and compliance activities. CASA has been a tremendous resource for POTWs in California. In addition to the legislative work, CASA also provides excellent conferences tailored for wastewater treatment plant directors and managers. Until recently, OCSD participated in the development of emerging legislation through the use of the associations discussed above. This approach served the district well by pooling our resources and impact upon legislation of concern with other POTWs and by eliminating the need and expense of hiring an individual agency to act of our behalf. Book Page 14 Recent Developments In 1997, a legislative effort was made by the Republican leadership in Orange County to consolidate special districts. At that time OCSD was comprised of • numerous individual districts which operated through one administration. While OCSD was quickly removed from the county-wide consolidation effort due to its size, the district's board decided to consolidate its individual districts through special legislation. The district hired a lobbyist to help move the bill through the legislature, and Assemblymen Scott Baugh authored the bill, A.B. 769 (1997). The consolidation was completed without opposition in the legislature. After this process was completed, OCSD's staff began to take a greater interest in the legislative process, both at the state and federal level. Eric Sapirstein, from ENS Resources, Inc., was brought under contract by the district to help understand and influence the federal legislative process and Scott Baugh, from Manatt, Phelps, and Phillips, LLP, was brought under contract to provide assistance in addressing state legislation. This year, 2002, has been the district's busiest for legislation of concern. The district sponsored Assembly Bill 1892 to change to district's charter to allow the agency to intercept, treat, recycle and dispose of urban runoff flows. This bill was authored by Assemblyman Hannon (Huntington Beach). While there was some local opposition to the bill due to the district's participation in the Clean Water Action § 301(h) program, Scott Baugh was able to explain the purpose and intent of the bill. It passed through the legislature unanimously and was signed into law by the Governor. Assembly Bill 1969 was authored by Assemblyman Maddox (Garden Grove) with the purported intent to end the district's participation in the Clean Water Act 301(h) program; however, the bill initially ended state waivers associated with fanning. Eventually the bill was amended to require the district to meet the secondary treatment standard of the Clean Water Act despite its compliance with state water quality standards. The bill stopped movement in the Senate appropriations committee. After the OCSD Board of Directors decided to upgrade the level of treatment, the district faced the prospect of minimum mandatory penalties of over$1 million per year. In order to facilitate the end of the 301(h) permit, the district sought a legislative solution to avoid minimum mandatory penalties while voluntarily upgrading its level of treatment. Assemblyman Bill Campbell (OrangeNilla Park) picked-up Assembly Bill 1969, and he removed the former language and amended in language to help the district avoid penalties. There was very little time left in the legislative calendar, and the legislature was facing numerous disputes due to the budget crisis and pending election. Despite these problems, Assemblyman Campbell and his staff, with help from Scott Baugh, was able to move and pass the legislation through both houses of the Book Page 15 legislature and onto the Governor's desk. The Governor signed the legislation, and the district's staff was able to use this in their negotiations with the regulators to facilitate ending participation in the Clean Water Act 301(h) program in favor of a secondary treatment ocean discharge permit application. Other legislation of interest to the district included Assembly Constitution Amendment 11 to provide a state infrastructure fund that would earmark general fund monies to pay for local infrastructure needs. This fund would grow depending on state economic growth so as not to compete with current funding for other needs. There remain concerns locally about the language of ACA 11, and there may be an attempt to amend the proposal to make it more workable. OCSD staff intends to follow and participate in any such attempts to change the amendment. Current Issues With the California state budget facing a financial crisis, the new legislative year begins with special districts facing the prospect of losing their current revenue streams to finance explosive state growth. OCSD's revenue streams include significant designated monies (so-called "reserves") of over$350 million and annual property taxes of$35 million. Since OCSD is an enterprise district, it is able to increase revenues through higher user fees. Some legislators and other governmental entities would like to shift property tax revenues from special districts to the general fund to make up for statewide budgetary mismanagement through hidden tax increases. OCSD will align will with similarly situated special districts to avoid the shift of these much needed monies to the state general fund. While the budget crisis will likely be the focus of legislative efforts, other issues include the infrastructure amendment (ACA 11) discussed above. While it is generally recognized that the construction, maintenance and expansion of public infrastructure is necessary to maintain a healthy economy and functioning society, establishing a long-term funding strategy to assure that funding has eluded the state. OCSD supported ACA 11 and the staff will watch and participate in further attempts change the amendment. Another area of interest for OCSD is urban runoff. With the change in OCSD's charter to allow for urban runoff treatment, we now face the issue of funding this treatment. Proposition 218 limits the way the special districts can raise funds for the treatment of urban runoff. OCSD can either work to change to language of proposition 218 to allow special districts to raise funds for urban runoff treatment in the same way that they do for wastewater treatment, or they can work within the existing law by using the election process to raise funds for proposed treatment facilities. OCSD plans to work closely with other local agencies including the county and cities to develop a local strategy to address urban runoff. Book Page 16 On the federal level, OCSD will work with Eric Sapirstein and John Freshman in a concerted effort to help fund the construction of new treatment facilities necessary to meet the secondary treatment standard. This is consistent with current and past funding provided by the federal government to help local agencies meet the federal standards. We will also continue to pursue Clean Water Act language to provide the district with compliance assistance until the new facilities are completed. Congressional Report language inserted near the end of the last Congress has already provided us with initial support for interim compliance during construction of secondary treatment facilities, and the ocean discharge permit negotiation process will likely dictate whether or not further support is necessary. There are other important regulatory issues at the federal level that may result in the introduction of federal legislation. These include the Sanitary Sewer Overflow rule and the Total Maximum Daily Load rule. OCSD will follow both of these rules and any subsequent legislation closely. Also, AMSA is continuing in its crusade to provide better long-term wastewater infrastructure funding, and OCSD will follow and support those efforts. Closing Historically, OCSD has worked with other wastewater treatment agencies and associations to address legislative issues of interest to the agency. More recently, OCSD has participated more actively in legislation by sponsoring legislation and hiring fines that lobby the state and federal legislatures on bills of interest to the district. The 2003 legislative year will bring great challenges to the district as we face revenue losses from the state and seek funding assistance from the federal government to build wastewater treatment facilities necessary to meet the secondary treatment standards.
