Committee
The principals will meet sometime in the next two weeks to begin discussions.

General Manager Bob Ghirelli will attend.
• Chair Ferryman announced the upcoming committee meetings for October. A

goals, as well as Board and Committee functions.
• A corporate table has been reserved at the 2007 Economic Forecast Conference

(5) REPORT OF GENERAL MANAGER
a. Status Report
Interim General Manager Jim Ruth reviewed activities included in his September
Status Report.
• Bob Ghirelli has assumed his responsibilities as Acting Assistant General
Manager.
• The OCSD/OCWD Joint Campus report is scheduled for the October Steering
and Board.
• The first phase of mid-Management training has been completed.
• A draft document of the Succession Plan is being distributed for comment and
a report scheduled for the October FAHR Committee.
• Meetings with Union representatives have been scheduled to discuss time
frames for formal negotiations.
• The revised Nepotism policy is more comprehensive and defines the authority
of the General Manager. It was approved at the September FAHR Committee
meeting.
b. Legislative Affairs
Michael Gold provided a legislative update on the Design-Build bill and outlined
the key elements of Bighorn decision.
• The Design-Build bill has died due to the Inclusion of a provision by the
public employee unions. Mr. Gold said we can introduce a bill at the
beginning of the 2007 Legislative Session which will probably pass quickly
since the local unions have already signed-off on the contracting and
training provisions.
• Director Anderson asked if staff was following the Bighorn decision related to
Proposition 218 and water rates. Director Miller expressed the importance of
the decision on his agency's setting of water rates and requested additional
information from General Counsel.
C. Interplant Gas Line Shutdown
Minutes of the Steering Committee
Page 3
September 27, 2006
Jim Herberg said the District interplant gas line does not meet Department of
Transportation (DOT) physical and administrative requirements. He
recommended decommissioning the line to get out of non-compliance with DOT
regulations. Mr. Herberg indicated that it would cost about$50,000 for a
contractor to perform work to decommission the line, and that preparation of
contract documents and bidding the work would extend our non-compliance by at
least three months. Therefore, in the interest of time, staff is recommending that
the work be contracted to Jamison Engineering as a sole-source. Jamison
Engineering has performed similar work on the gas line in the past and can
mobilize immediately.
Following a lengthy discussion re costs and possible consequences, Committee
members concurred with staffs recommendation to decommission the line now to
come into compliance with DOT requirements. While the line is out of service,
staff will assess whether to re-commission the line in the long-term.
(6) REPORT OF GENERAL COUNSEL
In response to a request for clarification at the last month's meeting, General Counsel Brad
Hogin said that lobbyist contracts cannot be based on percentage.

AGENDA REPORT iem a Item Numbe
a(a)
Orange County Sanitation District
FROM: David A. Ludwin, Director of Engineering
Originator: Jim Burror, Engineering Supervisor
SUBJECT: COUNTY ISLAND ANNEXATION AND CEQA DOCUMENTATION,
PROJECT NO. 07-61
GENERAL MANAGER'S RECOMMENDATION
Direct staff to proceed with preparing California Environmental Quality Act documentation
and conducting necessary public meetings for the annexation of nine remaining islands
within the Orange County Sanitation District.
SUMMARY
• The Orange County Sanitation District (Sanitation District) has budgeted a project to
annex the last few areas surrounded by the Sanitation District's service area.
• The proposed annexations include nine areas with a total acreage of approximately
8,922 acres. These unincorporated areas of Orange County are contained in a Map
attached to this Agenda Report and include:
• Anaheim Hills area (Mohler Drive) (33 acres - 19 residential lots)
• Boise Chica Area (1,680 acres—open space reserve)
• City of Orange area (Crest De Ville Road) (142 acres—81 residential lots)
• Cowan Heights (160 acres— 154 residential lots)
• Lemon Heights (115 acres— 70 residential lots)
• Orange Park Acres (831 acres— 332 residential lots)
• Seal Beach Naval Weapons Station (5,101 acres—military)
• Upper Blind Canyon (860 acres—open space reserve)
• Yorba Regional Park (0.3 acres— 1 County of Orange structure)
• Annexation to the Sanitation District will mean that current and future uses of land
will have access to regional sewerage and treatment services. The underlying goal
is to reduce the potential for public health impacts associated with groundwater
contamination from septic tanks by providing an option to abandon failing septic
tanks, and minimize new future septic tank installations.
• Another goal is to reduce the cost and time required to issue connection permits for
these areas. Today, property owners spend about $4,000 per parcel on
administrative annexation fees. They also are required to wait up to one-year while
the annexation is processed by the Sanitation District, the County of Orange, and
the State of California.

Book Page 8
By processing all nine areas together, these fees could be reduced to $300 to $400
per parcel and connections permits could be issued in a few days.
• The California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) documentation is required and
annexation process is estimated to take up to 18 months to complete.
• Residents in one of the nine areas in unincorporated Orange County near the City of
Orange, known as Orange Park Acres, have requested that the Sanitation District
become their local sewer agency. This is because the City of Orange thus far has
refused to provide local sewer service to the area. The Statewide Waste Discharge
Requirements would require the Sanitation District to prepare an Ordinance to allow
the Sanitation District to charge residents for local sewer services. A new Ordinance
for collecting local sewer service fees could be completed by July 2007.
PRIOR COMMITTEE/BOARD ACTIONS
None
PROJECT/CONTRACT COST SUMMARY
This item has been budgeted in the Fiscal Year 2006-07 Budget for$250,000. No
budget or contract changes are being requested. Costs for this project will be
recovered from each property owner who requests a connection permit.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Annexation Cost Information

will cost approximately $380 per parcel. Costs associated with the annexation
proceedings are reimbursable and will be collected at the time a sewer connection is
requested by a property owner. The current cost to process individual annexations fees
is approximately$4,000. The anticipated costs for the nine areas, including Sanitation
District staff costs, are as follows:
1. CEQA Documentation ($111,250)
2. Map and Legal Description Preparation ($75,000)

CEQA Documentation and Costs
It is anticipated that an Environmental Impact Report (EIR)will be necessary for the
annexation proceedings. This is to support the discretionary actions by each Board
(County and State) required to approve the annexation.
Map and Legal Description Preparation Costs
A licensed Surveyor must prepare a map and legal description for the areas to allow the
responsible agencies to modify the legal description for the Sanitation District's
boundary.
OC and State LAFCO Annexation Processing and Costs
The Orange County and State Local Agency Formation Commission (OCLAFCO)
charge for processing annexations. These fees cover public hearings and staff
resources to process the annexation.
State Board of Equalization Processing and Costs
The State Board of Equalization charges for processing annexations. These fees cover
staff resources to process the annexation and modify tax related collections, as
necessary.
Local Sewer Services and Costs
Local sewer services logistics and casts vary depending on whether a local sewer
agency has been identified, or not.
City/Special District Local Sewer Service Areas
Six of the nine areas have an identified local sewer agency, either a City or a Sanitary
District,which recognizes that they are responsible for providing local sewer service in
the areas. These six areas include the following:
1. Anaheim Hills area (Mohler Drive) (33 acres - 19 residential lots)
2. Bolsa Chica Area (1,680 acres—open space reserve)
3. City of Orange area (Crest De Ville Road) (142 acres—81 residential lots)
4. Seal Beach Naval Weapons Station (5,101 acres— military)
5. Upper Blind Canyon (860 acres —open space reserve)
6. Yorba Regional Park (0.3 acres — 1 County of Orange structure)
These agencies will be responsible for all costs associated with providing local
sewerage services to these areas.
Orange County Sanitation District Local Sewer Service Areas
Two of the nine areas are surrounded by defunct County Maintenance Districts
operated by the Sanitation District. These two areas are known as Cowan Heights and
F..Na.bN.1@.1 R9aN+Pepv1-SL
PeuifN: 9'//.ON
Page 3
Book Page 10
Lemon Heights and are located in unincorporated Orange County north of the City of
Tustin. There is no other sewer agency in position to provide sewer service in the area.
Currently, local sewers are constructed by developers and landowners requesting
sewer service. Over the next 18 months, agreements and ordinances will need to be
prepared to allow the Sanitation District to collect local sewer service fees as a part of
these annexation efforts.
The Sanitation District staff is currently developing a plan for assessing costs for all the
old County Maintenance Districts, as well as these areas to be annexed. This plan is
expected to be completed by Spring 2007.
No Identified Local Sewer Service Provider Areas
One of the nine areas, Orange Park Acres, does not have an identified local sewer
agency, either a City or a Sanitary District, which recognizes that they are responsible
for providing local sewer service in the areas. Orange Park Acres is located in
unincorporated Orange County near the City of Orange (City).
The City and County of Orange have been discussing an annexation of Orange Parks
Acres to the City for the past several years. The City issued a letter on February 21,
2006, stating that sewer services will not be extended into Orange Parks Acres after
July 1, 2006.
Until July 1, 2006, the Sanitation District had been operating under a 1983
Memorandum of Understanding (MOU)with the City to allow the City to extend sewer
service in Orange Park Acres. This MOU was designed to cause the residents in
Orange Park Acres to annex into the City and into the Sanitation District.
Currently, the County of Orange's General Plan designates the County of Orange as the
local sewer service provider for all unincorporated county areas. However, in the early
1980s the County of Orange turned over all of its County Sewer Maintenance Districts
to the Sanitation District. Since then, the County of Orange has limited itself to issuing
septic tank permits in an unincorporated portion of the County. Orange Park Acres was
not contained within one of those County Maintenance Districts.
Subsequent to issuance of the City's February letter, the City contacted the County of
Orange's Chief Executive (CEO) Officer's Office again to discuss the possibility of the
County leading an annexation effort and providing funds to install/upgrade all types of
infrastructure for Orange Park Acres. The County of Orange CEO's Office has
requested the Sanitation District to proceed with annexation of Orange Park Acres and
establish a local sewer service provider for the area rather than wait for the County of
Orange or the City to work out a resolution.
Since June 2006, the Sanitation District and County CEO's Office staffs have met with
the OPA community leaders to discuss the following:
1. Annexation to the Orange County Sanitation District
2. Establishing a local sewer agency
3. Understanding the current jurisdiction of the City in unincorporated areas
Page 4
Book Page I I
4. Funding mechanisms for providing sewer infrastructure
At this time, the residents of Orange Park Acres are requesting that the County of
Orange and Sanitation District work together to provide local sewer service. This would
include the following:
1. The County of Orange would establish an Assessment District to fund sewer
infrastructure.
2. Establishing the Sanitation District as the local sewer agency. (This would include
developing funding mechanisms, agreements and ordinances to allow the
Sanitation District to fund local sewer services similar to services provided by the
Sanitation District in the City of Tustin.)
ALTERNATIVES
1. Do not proceed with the nine large scale annexations.
2. Proceed with large scale annexations for a select number of areas.
CEQA FINDINGS
CEQA documentation is required for the annexation process. Preparing necessary
CEQA documents is proposed to be completed with this annexation process.

AGENDA REPORT Iem Ie Nu

8((b)b)
Orange County Sanitation District
FROM: Robert P. Ghirelli, Acting Assistant General Manager
Originator. Michael Gold, Legislative Affairs Liaison
SUBJECT: Support of Proposition 1 E
GENERAL MANAGER'S RECOMMENDATION
Adopt Resolution No. OCSD 06-21, Declaring Support of Proposition 1E.
SUMMARY
Proposition 1 E is part of the Governor and Legislature's overall infrastructure package
that was approved in May of this year and allocated $4.1 billion as follows:
Central Valley flood control repairs and improvements $3 billion
Flood control subventions $500 million
Stormwater management $300 million
Flood protection corridors and b asses $290 million
The area of most significance to OCSD is the "Flood Control Subvention" amount
because it impacts the SARI line.
If approved, the County of Orange Flood Control District (OCFCD) would receive
approximately$120 million in subvention funds. The County has already agreed that
these funds would be used to fund its portion of the SARI line relocation.
The other area of possible significance to the District is the $300 million allocated to
stormwater management. This amount could be used as a source of grants for future
district projects. As stated in the enabling legislation, the funds should be used
(emphasis added):
is "...to manage stormwater runoff to reduce flood damage and where feasible,
provide other benefits, including groundwater recharge, water quality
improvement, and ecosystem restoration."
If passed, these funds would be available on a competitive basis, probably through the
Regional Water Quality Control Boards.

Book Page 14
Clearly, Proposition 1E would provide an benefit to OCSD because with its passage, a
large portion of the funding for relocating the SARI line would be in place and the
County has indicated its preference to use local, rather than Federal dollars.
Of the bond measures, Proposition 1 E has very little organized opposition (some of the
other infrastructure measures are opposed by Republicans) so taking a position in
support of Proposition 1 E would not be too controversial.
Moreover,just this month the Public Policy Institute conducted a poll of California voters
revealing voters favor Proposition 1E:
• Prop. 1E (Levees/Flood$4.09b)
Yes: 56%
No: 35%
PRIOR COMMITTEE/BOARD ACTIONS
The Legislative Affairs Committee recommended support of Proposition 1E at the
September 12, 2006 meeting.

A RESOLUTION OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF ORANGE
COUNTY SANITATION DISTRICT DECLARING SUPPORT OF
PROPOSITION 1E
WHEREAS, Proposition 1 E, the Disaster Preparedness and Flood
Prevention Act of 2006, is a statewide ballot measure that will go before
California voters on the November 2006 ballot; and
WHEREAS, Proposition I is part of a $37 billion infrastructure package
approved by the Legislature and signed by Governor Schwarzenegger in May;
and
WHEREAS, if approved by voters, Proposition I would authorize $4.1
billion in general obligation bonds to make critically needed improvements to
California's levee system and better protect the state from Hurricane Katrina-
style flooding; and
WHEREAS, Proposition 1 E would provide $3 billion to improve and
maintain levees and other flood control facilities in the Central Valley and the
Sacramento-San Joaquin River Delta, an area increasingly vulnerable to large-
scale levee failure that could leave more than 23 million Californians without a
key water supply source; and
WHEREAS, Proposition 1 E would provide $500 million to help fund the
state's share of local flood control projects outside the Central Valley for the next
10 years, including $120 million to Orange County for the relocation of the Santa
Ana River Interceptor(SARI) line; and
WHEREAS, Proposition 1 E would provide $290 million for new levees,
flood corridors and bypasses, as well as for completion of flood hazard maps and
much-needed floodplain mapping; and
WHEREAS, Proposition 1 E would provide $300 million in grant funding for
local projects to control stormwater runoff consistent with integrated regional
water management efforts; and
WHEREAS, passage of Proposition 1 E would ensure that critical
investments are made in flood control projects and facilities to help protect
communities and infrastructure from destructive floods;
Book Page 16
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the Board of Directors of
the Orange County Sanitation District formally supports Proposition 1 E on the
November ballot.
PASSED AND ADOPTED at a regular meeting held September 27, 2006.
