Jazz Semiconductor, Inc.
Following last year's decision by the Board to change user fee calculations for industrial
pemmittees, Jazz Semiconductor requested that they be 'grandfathered°and not pay the
supplemental capacity charge. New information has been received concerning majority
ownership of Jazz by Conexant Staff is reviewing this information and a recommendation will
be presented to the FAHR Committee in May at the direction of the Steering Committee for
consideration and recommendation to full board.
GWRS-NWRI Research Center
Dr. Ghirelli updated the committee on the proposed GWRS-NWRI Research Center, which will
house the membrane research and GWRS education programs. NWRI,which was asked to
develop an approach for funding the center using private financing, has presented a proposition
for start-up funding where NWRI,OCSD,and OCWD would provide$100,000 each for 3 years
as seed money for a capital funding outreach campaign to approach private companies and
foundations within Orange County. General Manager Anderson has asked Dr. Ghirelli to be the
District's point of contact for this endeavor.
OC Board of Supervisors Water Quality Strategic Plan
The Orange County Board of Supervisors met last week to consider recommendations
submitted by the Water Quality Strategic Plan steering committee. The Board approved the
creation of three watershed committees covering North, Central and South County areas, to
develop specific projects to manage urban runoff and seek funding alternatives for these
projects. The committees would include elected officials from Orange County and each city in
the W MA,as well as elected officials from each water or sewer special district. County staff
would coordinate W MA activities and convene the meetings. Dr. Ghirelli noted that the
Sanitation District will need to reconvene the Urban Runoff Ad Hoc committee to determine our
participation in this effort.
Biosolids Update
Dr. Ghirelli reported that the Sanitation District has taken an oppose position on the SB 926 bill,
which would prohibit importation of biosolids into Kem County. Only 1% of Kern County s
agricultural land is cultivated with biosolids and SIB 926 ignores the inter-reliance of counties on
one another. CASA and OCSD lobbyists are working to defeat the bill which will be heard on
May 2. General Manager Anderson may be asked to testify at the hearing.
District staff has scheduled a Biosolids tour for Directors and key staff on Friday, May 6, 2005 to
visit three biosolids processing sites located in the Chino Basin area.
