Dr. Ghlrelli Introduced the legislative consultants for the Sanitation District: Eric Sapirsteln, ENS Resources; John Freshman, Freshman and Kest; Chris Townsend, Townsend Public Affairs; and Scott Baugh, Mayer, Brown, Rowe & Maw,who participated via teleconference. (6) REPORT OF THE GENERAL MANAGER Acting General Manager Robert Ghirelli gave an update on the relocation of the SARI line. The parties involved in the relocation project are OCSD, SAWPA, County of Orange and the Army Corps of Engineers. The General Managers met two weeks ago and concluded that a southerly alignment of the pipe along the 91 Freeway would incur the lowest costs and least environmental impact. This will be the preferred alternative in the EIR/EIS which will be published by the end of the year and completed by April 2006. Dr. Ghirelli said that funding of the project is an issue. The County has funds for the design, but not for the entire project which is estimated at$70 million. OCSD and SAWPA will draft an agreement for sharing the cost of the project,with the understanding that the Sanitation District will eventually receive compensation from the County. Efforts to obtain federal and state funds will also be made. A tour of the SARI line location Is scheduled for tomorrow, October 27 for Board members, lobbyists, and representatives from Congressman Gary Millees office. (7) REPORT OF GENERAL COUNSEL General Counsel Brad Hogin said that AB1234, which governs Directors compensation, has been passed. The Sanitation District has written policies in place and General Counsel will verify that our policies are in compliance. Dr. Ghirelli Informed that an agenda report for AB1234 will be presented to the Steering Committee in November.

Legislative Agenda—2006 Legislative Session The Sanitation District's federal legislative consultants, Eric Sapirstein and John Freshman, updated the committee on their activities for the past year and their plans for 2006. Their focus is on acquisition of federal funding for secondary treatment expansion through State and Tribal Assistance Grant(STAG)and Water resources Development Act(WRDA)appropriations. They continue to build support with the Orange County and California delegation in Washington and will continue to focus on secondary treatment funding as well as funding alternatives for the SARI line. The Senate Committee on Environment Public Works has approved a bill in which they induded a High Priority Infrastructure Water Quality Projects section,with $300 million a year available for grant assistance for communities that meet the high priority eligibility. Scott Baugh reported on the state legislative initiatives and his activities in the areas of biosolids. His priority this year will be to monitor and actively participate in legislative activities relating to two-year bills, including SB 120(Florez)Water Quality, SB 926 (Florez) Sewage Sludge Management;and, HR 18(Baca) SC Groundwater Remediation Act. Christopher Townsend and his firm are focused on acquisition of state funding for District projects including Santa Ana River Interceptor line and other projects through Propositions 40 and 50 and other grant sources. He indicated that all of the Proposition 50 money has been given to the Department of Water Resources for distribution. California Senator Dean Florez will tour OCSD on December 2. Scott Baugh will invite California Senator Campbell to the November 16 Steering Committee. MOVED, SECONDED AND DULY CARRIED: Direct staff to bring to the Board of Directors a revised authorization such that each contract is renewable for one- year periods at the discretion of the Steering Committee. Directors requested staff include more specifics in the draft Annual Legislative Agenda. Staff will send the draft Annual Legislative Agenda to the Steering Committee for comments. MOVED, SECONDED AND DULY CARRIED: that the Legislative Agenda 2006 be approved as a draft,with additional clarification to be sent to the Steering Committee by fax for comments. Minutes of the Steering Committee Page 4 October 26, 2005 C. AERA Master Planned Community Equivalent Annexation Fees Jim Burror provided a handout of the proposed service area, reported on the proposed AERA project,and sought direction from the Committee on how to assess annexation fees. The property owner,AERA Energy, has requested several exclusions from the applicable Equivalent Annexation Fees, one of which is land that is designated for use as a golf course. The Committee tabled the matter because of issues that need to be explored and evaluated. Ordinance No. OCSD-21 requires us to charge by acre. General Counsel will look into whether Ordinance No. OCSD-21 should be amended for clarification should the Steering committee and Board consider excluding the restricted property. Staff was directed to present the Committee with a full report which would explain the developer's drainage plans, include the golf course in the annexation fees, provide a description of sewer capacity in the area, explain the nexus between the annexation fee and the development costs, and describe proposed amendments to Ordinance No. OCSD-21. D. Huntington Beach New Lift Station °D"and Related Sewers Nick Arhontes reported that the City of Huntington Beach has formally requested that OCSD take over the new Gravity Pump Station and related sewers. Staff has not conducted a review of the plans and specifications of the pump station and is not in an informed position re maintainability and cost factors. Several alternatives were discussed and staff was directed to take no action at present and monitor the first five years of the operation. E. Request for Reporting Changes Dr. Ghirelli informed that, in response to Chair Anderson's request, the Public Affairs department researched outside reporting methods to the Board. Sonja Morgan said the requests for monthly news clippings, monthly board member request summary,and State and Federal legislation updates can be implemented at once with minimal additional staff time.

General Manager Blake Anderson introduced Jeff Reed, Human Resources Manager, who will be acting for Lisa Tomko who is on vacation. b. Mike Moore, Environmental Assessment Manager, has been diagnosed with melanoma and will be out for several weeks for treatment. Chair Anderson requested Gail Garrett to forward Mr. Moore's email address to the Steering Committee members. c. Mr.Anderson reported that the County of Orange will be unable to fully fund the SARI line relocation. Staff continues to meet with County and Corps of Engineers representatives, SAWPA, RWQCB and others to discuss funding options. The Sanitation District may provide funding with the expectation of future repayment from SAWPA and through grant funds. The SAWPA Board has requested its member agencies general managers to work directly with the Sanitation District. d. Mr. Anderson gave an overview of the Executive Management's strategic planning and project management efforts. Larry Gibson has been assigned as Program Manager for the newly formed Strategic Planning Office (SPO). Larry worked previously in the Program Management Office in Engineering getting the Capital Improvement Program off the ground. Under the General Manager's direction, Larry and an advisory committee are developing an implementation plan that will be the basis for decision-making by the EMT, will ensure thorough and consistent communication, and bring alignment throughout the agency. Directors recommended the CIP Oversight Committee review the SARI line relocation project. It was noted that there is a need to create a more business-oriented approach,to supplement the engineering models now used to develop the CIP. e. General Manager introduced the idea that the Sanitation District appoint a Rate Advisory Committee(RAC)similar to one formed in the late 90's. It would provide full understanding to the Board of the technical,financial, and public opinion aspects throughout the rate setting process. It would include workshops, hearings and a draft report that the public and industry would be invited to participate in. The committee would comprise a Board member either as committee chair or liaison, representatives Book Page 6 Minutes of the Steering Committee Page 3 September 28, 2005 from OCBC, OCTA,environmental groups, local companies,or a Grand Jury member. Further updates will be presented to the FAHR committee. f. Dr. Ghirelli provided an update on the Inland Empire Utility Agency regional biosolids project. The consortium of five agencies proposes to purchase a 63 acre parcel,with a suggested allocation for the$20 million purchase price of 35% each OCSD and LACSD, and others at 10% each. Representatives from each agency have been meeting weekly. IEUA has asked each agency to send a letter of intent to participate and OCSD staff is preparing a letter for the General Manager's signature. Each partner is being asked to raise their commitment to $50,000 to cover the feasibility study cost,which include site assessment, project development plan, marketing study, and a preliminary financial plan. Board committees will be kept informed and, once the study is completed, staff will bring a recommendation to the Board through the PDC. Chair Anderson thanked Directors Ridgeway and Ferryman for taking the time to visit the site. In response to Chair Anderson's question, Layne Baroldi said the Yakima hearings have been postponed indefinitely. g. Dr. Ghirelli informed that the Southern California Coastal Water Research Projects (SCCW RP) plans to move to a larger office and lab space in Costa Mesa. They have requested a co-signer on the lease agreement and each of the JPA member agencies is evaluating the extent of their commitment. Dr. Ghirelli explained that, based on preliminary results by staff, there does not appear to be a financial liability. Having a wodd-class ocean research facility in close proximity is of considerable benefit to the Sanitation District. General Counsel clarified that the Sanitation District benefits from SCCRWP research,therefore the lease payments would not be deemed a gift of public funds. Direction was given to staff to explore OCSD becoming a cosigner with SCCWRP subject to review by legal counsel. h. Sonja Morgan gave an end-of-year Sanitation District progress report and provided handouts that will be published by the end of October. Directors directed staff to include information on the status of the CIP over 20 years, new technology the Sanitation District has embraced, and replacing the Sanitation District's aging infrastructure. (7) REPORT OF GENERAL COUNSEL General Counsel gave an update on the biosolids litigation issues. The Kern County Board approved the attorney fees waiver. Attorney fees were also waived for the Kings County litgation. (8) DISCUSSION ITEMS (Items A-D) A. Acquisition of Property for North County Yard This item was discussed in closed session.

Ghirelli, D.Env., Director of Technical Services and Acting Director of Public Affairs Originator: Karen I. Baroldi, Senior Environmental Specialist SUBJECT: LEGISLATIVE AGENDA- 2006 LEGISLATIVE SESSION GENERAL MANAGER'S RECOMMENDATION Information and Discussion Item SUMMARY The Orange County Sanitation District (OCSD) recognizes the need to protect its interests and the interest of its ratepayers in Orange County, Sacramento and Washington, DC. In order to be effective in this effort, OCSD reviews legislative activities prior to the beginning of each legislative year and then establishes positions and strategies for addressing those activities that are a priority. During the June 22, 2005 Steering Committee meeting, Director Ridgeway requested that OCSD staff prepare an annual Legislative Agenda for the Board of Directors (Board). The purpose of the Legislative Agenda is to provide the Board with information on OCSD's legislative efforts in order for the Board to gain a better understanding of OCSD's legislative advocacy role and to obtain endorsement from the Board for those efforts. The Legislative Agenda will be created annually, consistent with the federal and state legislative calendars. The Legislative Agenda will provide a framework for the agency's legislative activities and guide staff and consultants in formulating and carrying out legislative policies and positions. The Legislative Agenda will provide strategies for the agency's legislative efforts and provide policy statements on a wide variety of issues that impact OCSD. It will also be used as a tool to allow authorization for staff to prepare letters for the General Manager's signature that are consistent with the Legislative Agenda's policies, ensuring consistency, consent of the Board, and allowing for quick responses to urgent issues. The ultimate benefit of the Legislative Agenda is that it will help OCSD better set priorities on legislative advocacy and provide general direction to our consultants and OCSD staff as they advance OCSD's interests during the next year.

In order to be effective in protecting these interests, OCSD reviews legislative action in Sacramento and Washington DC and has established a framework for implementing its legislative advocacy efforts by crafting policies, determining positions and developing strategies for addressing those activities at the beginning of each legislative year. The framework presented in the annual Legislative Agenda provides direction to our legislative advocates and OCSD management and staff as they advance OCSD's interests over the next year. The Legislative Agenda is also a tool to ensure the OCSD Board of Directors (Board) is aware of OCSD management, staff and consultant's legislative advocacy efforts and is supportive of those activities. Background For the past several years, OCSD staff and/or consultants have been actively monitoring legislation related to wastewater, water quality, human resources and public health, and advocating for specific legislation on behalf of OCSD. These efforts included providing Board members, management and staff weekly updates on the status of monitored bills, conducting in-depth analysis of certain bills deemed critical to OCSD's business, and speaking to various associations on pertinent legislation. Prior to the creation of this document, bills were individually presented to the Board, as needed, to determine an official OCSD position. As OCSD increased its involvement in legislative advocacy, the Board requested for an annual Legislative Agenda to be developed to streamline the process of legislative advocacy and policy approval. This is the first Annual Legislative Agenda for OCSD, and is subject to revision at the request of the Board. Legislative Advocacy Calendar Years 2004 and 2005 During the past two years, Board members, OCSD management and staff, and legislative advocates have contributed to advocacy related to policy issues and legislation that resulted in funding for OCSD projects. Until now, efforts have been limited generally to the pursuit of grant funding and regulations impacting wastewater utilities. Specifically, the focus of much of this effort has been on t Legislative Session -2006 Book Page 15 ti Orange County Sanitation District Legislative Agenda securing grant funding for secondary treatment. OCSD had also monitored and influenced policy relating to biosolids, air quality, water quality, public agencies, and federal grant funding allocations. Over the course of the past two years, the following milestones were achieved: • In 2003 and 2004, OCSD Board members and management lobbied Orange County representatives at their Washington, DC and home offices for secondary treatment and Groundwater Replenishment System project funding. • In 2003, OCSD management represented OCSD at the annual water issues briefing for the Orange County delegation in Washington, DC. • In July of 2005, OCSD created an internal Legislative Advocacy and Grants Division to coordinate the efforts of management, staff and legislative advocates in legislative advocacy. This division's staff monitors legislation, provides updates to staff and management, administers grant funding, prepares the Annual Legislative Agenda, and communicates with District legislative advocates on legislation of interest. • In 2004 and 2005, OCSD continued to manage the State and Tribal Assistance Grant (STAG) for$1,800,000 through the Environmental Protection Agency, to be used for Secondary Treatment Upgrade construction. • In 2005, after advocating extensively on the Water Resources Development Act (HR 2864), OCSD and many other wastewater agencies were denied appropriation of funding for 2005. OCSD is committed to obtaining funding from this annual appropriations bill in the fiscal year. • In 2004 and 2005, several bills were tracked and analyzed. OCSD staff and consultants researched and monitored implications for OCSD from the California Performance Review, SB 120 (biosolids), SB 926 (biosolids) HR 1126 (wastewater flows), SB 1272 (special districts governance and ethics training), AB 3007 (Brown Act amendments), AB 1259 (tax revenue), AB 528 (civil actions), SB 966 (omnibus), State and Tribal Assistance Grant federal legislation, HR 2864 (Water Resources Development Act), the Santa Ana Regional Water Quality Control Board boundaries, Environmental Protection Agency appropriations acts, federal and state budgets, and other new initiatives and proposals. • In 2005, legislative advocates reported to the Board on the status and implications of AB 1234 (local agencies: compensation and ethics). • In 2004 and 2005, staff produced briefing packets for OCSD Board members, management, staff, and legislative advocates to present in meetings with state and federal representatives. 2 Legislative Session-2006 Book Page 16 Orange County Sanitation District Legislative Agenda • In 2004 and 2005, staff and legislative advocates wrote position papers on pertinent pending legislation. • In 2004 and 2005, staff, management, and Board members attended CASA meetings. • In 2004 and 2005, staff, management, and Board members visited Washington, DC to meet with legislators and staff. • In 2005, the OCSD Biosolids Policy Statement was included in the State Water Resources Control Board's General Order. OCSD will further refine its legislative advocacy efforts by implementing a policy, positions and strategy that staff and legislative advocates will follow over the next year. POLICY Upon direction from the Board, OCSD will pursue legislative advocacy in 2006 through a proactive, albeit limited process, relying on legislative advocates. OCSD state and federal legislative advocates will meet with legislators and their staff to influence the passage and amendment of pending legislation and the proposal of potential legislation beneficial to OCSD. OCSD staff will draft support letters and materials (briefing books, talking points, factsheets, etc.)for use by management and legislative advocates in influencing legislators and their staff. OCSD has developed the Legislative Advocacy Program's Guiding Principles to direct OCSD management and staff. Legislative Advocacy Program's Guiding Principles To be effective in carrying out its legislative agenda and representing its legislative interests, OCSD will establish a legislative program that reviews and establishes priorities and policy statements at the beginning of each legislative session. OCSD's will achieve its legislative goals by: • Developing a coordinated and comprehensive advocacy and education effort to increase understanding and awareness among state and federal lawmakers and regulatory agencies regarding all issues facing OCSD, ensuring that laws and regulations advance OCSD's goals of wastewater treatment, collection, disposal and water reclamation. 3 Legislative Session-2006 Book Page 17 - Orange County Sanitation District Legislative Agenda • Becoming an effective, respected and influential agency dedicated to wastewater issues. Becoming a leading legislative and regulatory wastewater management advocate by providing proactive leadership, innovative solutions, and sound scientific and technical information about wastewater-related issues to lawmakers, regulators, and the public. • Developing and strengthening partnerships with wastewater agencies and member associations working on all issues facing the wastewater industry. Increase OCSD's leadership and influence and provide timely education and information to the Legislature and regulatory agencies so that sound public health and environmental goals may be achieved. • Linking and promoting topics relating to the Unifying Strategies of Environmental Stewardship, Business Principle, Wastewater Management, and Workplace Environment through advocacy in legislation. LEGISLATIVE PRIORITIES OCSD has three main legislative priorities for the coming year which include: Pursuing federal and state funding opportunities. • Continuing to monitor and participate in legislative activities for critical two- year bills including SB120 and SB 926. • Monitoring newly introduced legislation that is pertinent to OCSD. Staff and legislative advocates will pursue legislative advocacy consistent with the Board's directives. Pursuit of State and Federal Funding The first priority is to pursue state and federal funding for OCSD's secondary treatment program and the Santa Ana River Interceptor(SARI) Realignment and Protection Project. With the upcoming construction projects related to the Groundwater Replenishment System, OCSD is committed to pursuing further funding opportunities to offset the costs of upgrading its wastewater processing systems to secondary treatment. OCSD is also committed to pursuing funding through legislative earmarks and competitive grants to be used for the permanent relocation of the Santa Ana River Interceptor line. Federal funding through legislative earmarks will be pursued through the State and Tribal Assistance Grants (STAG), the Water 4 Legislative Session-2006 Book Page 18 Orange County Sanitation District Legislative Agenda Resources Development ACT (W RDA), Clean Water Act—State Revolving Funds and other sources. State legislative activities are also a priority, as the State of California participates in the administration of some federal funds and provides independent State funding for wastewater projects. State competitive grant funds through Proposition 50, Proposition 40, and Proposition 13 will be pursued through the California Department of Water Resources Urban Streams Restoration program and the State Water Resources Control Board Consolidated Grant Program and Clean Water State Revolving Fund Program. Although these funds are provided through the competitive grant process, significant lobbying on behalf of OCSD by our legislative advocates can bring positive results in the ranking and award of these funds. Therefore, OCSD will request our legislative advocates engage in lobbying on behalf of OCSD for these funds when appropriate. The main priority of the OCSD Legislative Advocacy and Grants division in 2006 will be to assist in the pursuit of state and federal funding and administer awarded grants. Monitor and Participate in 2-Year Bills The second priority is to monitor and actively participate in legislative activities relating to two-year bills, including SB 120 (Florez): Water quality: sewage sludge, SB 926 (Florez): Sewage sludge management, and HR 18 (Baca): Southern California Groundwater Remediation Act. Legislative activities may include drafting letters of support or opposition to these bills and presenting OCSD's position at various association meetings or private meetings with political officials. Monitor and Participate in Impacting Legislation The third priority is to monitor, and when applicable, draft letters of support or opposition on newly introduced legislation impacting areas of priority to OCSD. These federal, state, regional and local priorities give a basis for the bills OCSD will be tracking throughout the year. The legislative policy areas of priority have been developed by OCSD staff and legislative advocates in consideration of member cities' and OCSD's policy needs, and they are as follows: • Public Health • Biosolids • Labor Relations • Safety and Risk Management 5 Legislative Session-2006 Book Page 19 Orange County Sanitation District ! Legislative Agenda • Revenue and Taxation • Grant Funding • Public Works • Air Quality • Water Quality and Supply State legislation and county initiatives policy areas of Biosolids, Special Districts, Urban Runoff, and Measure M will also be monitored. STRATEGY OCSD's legislative strategy for the upcoming year will be to employ federal and state legislative advocates for the purpose of assisting OCSD staff with implementing our legislative priorities. The legislative advocates will also provide information to federal and state legislators to ensure they are aware of issues important to or impacting OCSD. The OCSD Legislative Advocacy and Grants Division will assist with legislative efforts by providing OCSD with analysis of bills deemed important to the agency, drafting reports and the annual Legislative Agenda, providing the legislative advocates with information pertinent to their efforts, pursuing grant funds in conjunction with the legislative advocates, and administering awarded funds. OCSD's current legislative strategies include weekly meetings between several Board members, management, staff and legislative advocates to discuss pertinent state and federal legislative issues. County and local measures, if applicable, as well as earmark funding opportunities, are also discussed at the weekly meetings and monitored by appropriate staff. Other strategies include meetings with legislators and their staff, drafting letters of support or opposition of legislation, presenting OCSD's official position on key legislation at various association functions and monitoring the status of federal and state legislation. OCSD will continue these strategies for the 2006 legislative session. 6 Legislative Session-2006 Book Page 20 STEERING COMMITTEE Mrebng oae ro Bo.or wr. ln/26/OS AGENDA REPORT Item Number I Item Number Bc Orange County Sanitation District FROM: David Ludwin, Director of Engineering Originator: Adam Nazaroff, Associate Engineer III SUBJECT: AERA MASTER PLANNED COMMUNITY EQUIVALENT ANNEXATION FEES GENERAL MANAGER'S RECOMMENDATION Direct the Orange County Sanitation District staff to prepare an Out of Service Area Sewer Service Agreement for the AERA Master Planned Community Development that excludes annexation fees for open spaces. SUMMARY • The proposed AERA Master Planned Community Development (Development) project site lies within unincorporated Los Angeles and Orange Counties. Approximately 90 percent of this Project is located within Los Angeles County. The Development will create 3,600 residential units, public parks, a golf course, and open space preserve within their 3,000 acre site. The Development is adjacent to the communities of Rowland Heights, La Habra Heights, Diamond Bar, and Brea. • The Board of Directors (Board) previously reviewed the potential for an out of service area agreement within the Abandonment of the Carbon Canyon Pumping Station Project, Contract 2-24-1, Mitigated Negative Declaration, certified by the Board in accordance to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). The Board's Steering Committee specifically reviewed the proposed Development's area outside of the Orange County Sanitation District (Sanitation District) Service area within Los Angeles County and its impact to Contract 2-24-1 project in May 2005. • The Sanitation District staff must prepare an Out of Service Area Sewer Service Agreement for the Los Angeles County portion of the Development. The agreement will designate when and how fees will be paid to the Sanitation District. These fees include Equivalent Annexation, Capital Facilities Capacity Charges, and Annual Sewer Service Charges. • The property owner, AERA Energy, is requesting the following to be excluded from applicable Equivalent Annexation Fees: • Any land that is permanently protected as open space through deed restriction, conservation easement, or similar dedication • Any land that is designated for use as a golf course, except for that portion of golf course land which is utilized for access road, parking, and clubhouse KW"gmda%( Mng CO t"QOOS10110E5055CAR 8(QAEPA E .W Minter PlmneE Cm nll-A County vJB.d= RM.W:B 63 Page 1 Book Page 21 • Any land designated for use as a flood control or water quality basin • The Sanitation District Ordinance 21 does not allow specific areas to be excluded from Annexation Fees. However, the Sanitation District has made decisions in the past where open space areas were excluded and included. This proposed Development is unique compared to others because of its significant size and the extraordinarily large amount of land that will be dedicated as open space preserve not requiring sanitary sewer service. • The total Annexation Fee is estimated at$11.2 Million for the entire 3000 acre Development. The Annexation Fee with the requested exclusions is estimated at $5.2 Million. The difference is because approximately 54 percent of the total Development area is proposed to be dedicated as permanent open space preserve. • All other applicable Sanitation District fees for the Development will not be impacted by the exclusion of the proposed areas as requested. PRIOR COMMITTEE/BOARD ACTIONS May 2005— Certification of the Final Environmental Impact Report for Implementation of the Carbon Canyon Dam Sewer Pipeline Project, Contract No. 2-24-1. March 2001 - Out of Service Area Sewer Service Agreement with the City of La Mirada and Centex Homes. The area where annexation fees were required was approximately 52 acres. The area that was left as an open space (approximately 13 acres, 25 percent of the area)contained slope cuts, drainage systems, and access trails. This open space area was included with the annexation fee. August 2001 -Annexation Agreement with Hellman Properties within the City of Seal Beach. This agreement allowed the annexation of 39.15 acres into Sanitation District Service Area Boundaries. 21.8 acres of this development was to be kept in wetlands conservation and open space uses, which also included, a deed restricted oil drilling area. It was allowed for Hellman Properties not pay annexation fees on the 21.8 acres, but would be responsible for payment if the area was developed in the future.

The Orange County portion of this project is within the Sanitation District Service Area Boundaries and does not require any Board action for service. The Los Angeles County portion of the Development is not annexed by any agency that can provide regional sewage collection and treatment. However, this area is included within an area eligible for the Sanitation District regional sewer service via OCSD Resolution 99-05. OCSD Resolution 99-05 identifies four conditions that this development meets including: • Water from the territory would naturally drain into Orange County. • The Sanitation District member agency affected by a proposed service agreement, or the development related thereto, must be consulted, and its input considered, prior to the proposed agreement being presented to the Board. The agreement will be presented to the City of Brea after it has been prepared. • A local government agency executes the service agreement providing for sewerage services and for payment of one-time fees equivalent to annexation fees, connection fees, and an administrative charge, and annual fees equivalent to sewer serviced fees, property taxes, and an administrative charge, and any other terms and conditions, all as established by the Board of Directors at the time of approval, or as amended from time-to-time, for said service; and • The local land use, sewer, or water authority agrees to require connections to the Sanitation District or other sewage treatment systems, and discourage on-site disposal systems. ALTERNATIVES Include the total estimated annexation fee of$11.2 Million into the agreement being drafted. CEQA FINDINGS Aare Energy will be responsible for all CEQA related work for the Project.

SUMMARY Huntington Beach has developed plans and specifications for new gravity sewers and pumping facilities to be located inland of Pacific Coast Highway on Wamer Avenue in Huntington Beach. Combined sewage flows into these new facilities will come from the unincorporated county areas of Surfside and Sunset Beach, and parts of incorporated cities of Seal Beach and Huntington Beach. Surfside and Sunset Beach are not annexed to OCSD and are served thru an agreement with the city of Huntington Beach. Sunset Beach Sanitary District and the City of Huntington Beach staff requested OCSD staff to attend an informal meeting on August 31, 2005 to discuss this issue. During the meeting, city staff suggested that because the new facilities would serve several jurisdictions that OCSD consider taking over the ownership and operation of the project once it is completed. OCSD staff was given copies of the plans and specifications for information and review. City staff said that the required sewage pumping facilities and gravity sewer project had been designed to city standards but only the pumping facilities contract had been awarded for construction. OCSD Staff has not conducted a review of the plans and specifications of the pump station to determine whether they meet our standards and applicable state and federal standards. For this reason, we are not in an informed position about the maintainability, reliability, and cost factors of the pump station. OCSD staff requested that the city prepare and submit a formal letter requesting the OCSD General Manager review and consider the proposal to take over the new assets once they were completed. On October 6, 2005, the OCSD General Manager received a letter from Huntington Beach presenting their formal request to OCSD and requested a response so the city can do additional planning with their city council if needed. The General Manager asked that this request be brought to the Steering Committee's attention for discussion and subsequent direction prior to staff and General Counsel taking any further action. An internal technical team has been assembled and stands ready to make a non-detailed review of the city's request, plans and specifications, as well as the city's sewer capacity plans, if available. The outcome of this issue will provide valuable regional guidance and precedence for future actions of this type.

BUDGETIMPACT ❑ This item has been budgeted. (Line item: ) ❑ This item has been budgeted, but there are insufficient funds. ® This item has not been budgeted. ❑ Not applicable (information item) ADDITIONAL INFORMATION OCSD does not budget a revenue stream necessary for the purchase and care of the proposed gravity and pumping facilities. If new facilities of this type are absorbed by OCSD, they will result in increased staff, utility and other operating costs. A reserve account and budgeted revenue stream for future rehabilitation and replacement of such components and facilities would also be necessary. The Regional Board's WDR Order has specific requirements that we have adequate funding for operations and maintenance of our collection system, as well as long-range plans for rehabilitation or replacement of all facilities we own. All new OCSD facilities are planned, designed and operated with these requirements in mind with special emphasis in keeping long-term costs down. It is not known at this time the particular details of how these new facilities meet, do not meet, or exceed our needs in minimizing costs and risks. The Regional Assets and Services Department will be assigned the lead role in formulating any plan relating to these issues. Significant support will come from the Engineering and Finance Departments in providing staff input, data and analysis. ALTERNATIVES 1. Direct OCSD staff to not proceed with a technical review or discussions of a possible acquisition of this project with its related risks to all OCSD ratepayers. 2. Take no action at this time and monitor the first five years of the operation of the new Huntington Beach facilities to better understand and forecast the long-term risk and financial liability to OCSD. 3. Add staffing as needed and contract with the city on a fee basis for facility care when needed but assume no ownership or risk liability. 4. Pursue a plan for full acquisition and care of the facilities in their currently designed condition. KWepi WW%SW NCp 1Y W MaM SWa(E)M He NO WWY o n miatea sexes do Page 2 Book Page 26 5.

Monthly board member request summary; 3. State and Federal legislative update; 4. Outreach report; 5. Monthly upcoming board and manager travel summary; and, 6. General Manager weekly letter in lieu of a monthly general manager letter. The Public Affairs Department has been speaking with the various departments at Orange County Transportation Agency responsible for compiling these reports to determine the resources needed and what processes will need to be set up to deliver accurate reports. The following requests can be implemented at once and require minimal additional staff time: 1) monthly news clipping packet, 2) monthly board member request summary, 3)a State and Federal legislation update. Outreach Calendar The OCTA outreach calendar is prepared each month by the executive office. A master calendar of events is updated regularly by various staff throughout the agency. Any external event (meeting, outreach event etc)attended by any staff or board member representing the district at the function is logged on the master calendar. In order to produce a similar document OCSD must: 1. Set up a policy that would defne which meetings would be considered "outreach events." 2. Institute a procedure for capturing all outreach events on a master calendar. Each department'division would be responsible for updating the calendar. Page 1 Book Page 29 Travel Summary The OCTA travel calendar is prepared by the executive office. All requests for approved travel must be approved by the deputy director. Once the travel is approved, it is placed on a master calendar. In order to produce a similar document OCSD must: 1. Institute a procedure for capturing all travel to develop a monthly travel report General Manager Weekly Update This would require the General Manager to send weekly board updates via email. A compilation of the weekly reports would be mailed out as the monthly report. PRIOR COMMITTEE/BOARD ACTIONS None PROJECT/CONTRACT COST SUMMARY BUDGETIMPACT ❑ This item has been budgeted.
