Ruth, General Manager Originator: Lorenzo Tyner, Director of Finance and Administrative Services SUBJECT: SANTA ANA RIVER INTERCEPTOR(SARI) LINE LOAN AND REPAYMENT AGREEMENT GENERAL MANAGER'S RECOMMENDATION Approve Santa Ana River Interceptor(SARI) Line Loan and Repayment Agreement No. D07-042 with the Orange County Flood Control District (OCFCD), providing for a no-interest loan until July 2016, of 60% of the successful bid amount for improvements to the SARI Line, for an amount not to exceed $60,000,000; and Authorize the release of$35,000,000 to OCFCD immediately after the award of the contract, and to allow the remaining balance to be released 12 months later. SUMMARY The County of Orange is in the process of constructing a significant improvement to the Prado Dam; specifically, raising the height of the dam. This improvement will result in a negative impact to the SARI Line. As the Prado Dam Improvement project sponsor, the County is responsible for mitigating any negative impacts of the project. Mitigation may cost as much as $100 million. It is anticipated that $70 million of this cost will be ultimately supported with subvention funds. However, these funds will not be available for at least five years. Although the County acknowledges its responsibility, they are not in a financial position to cash-flow the entire project. Because of the serious ramifications of this project, OCSD, SAWPA, OCWD and the County have conducted a series of meetings to address this issue. To address this problem immediately, the following was tentatively agreed upon: 1. The County would cash-flow$30 million. 2. SAWPA would advance the project$10 million over a two-year period. 3. OCSD would advance the project$60 million over a two-year period. a) OCSD would be reimbursed by the County. b) The County would be primarily relying on State Subvention Funds. c) The Subvention Fund reimbursement process has been improved. d) This loan to the County would be from our reserves and would not impact OCSO rates. PRIOR COMMITTEE/BOARD ACTIONS None Farm No.Dw.m.i p Ma FeW-sc Penaeo'OINW] Page 1 Book Page 7 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION The Orange County Flood Control District (OCFCD) is a department of the County of Orange ("County") responsible for providing control of flood and storm waters within the boundary of the County of Orange, and of streams flowing into the County such as the Santa Ana River or San Juan Creek; to mitigate the effects of tides and waves; and to protect the harbors,waterways, public highways and property in the district from such waters. The County is a member agency of Orange County Sanitation District(OCSD). OCSD owns and operates the Santa Ana Regional Interceptor("SARI"); a regional sewer pipeline from the Orange County line to the OCSD sewage treatment plant in Huntington Beach. The SARI was constructed as a joint project of OCSD and the Santa Ana Watershed Project Authority. OCFCD and OCSD wish to advance the protection and/or relocation of the SARI (the "SARI Project") in response to existing conditions and the raising of the Prado Dam by the U.S. Army Carps of Engineers (the Corps)and OCFCD. The SARI Project shall, to the extent required by law, be publicly bid. The total amount of construction, design, environmental and project administration costs is not currently expected to exceed one- hundred million dollars ($100,000,000). OCSD will benefit from the continued, uninterrupted use of the SARI and would, therefore, benefit from OCFCD accelerating the protection and/or relocation of the SARI Project as part of the Santa Ana River Mainstem Project. OCFCD plans to reimburse OCSD from the State Flood Control Subventions Program. OCSD would loan to the OCFCD 60% of the winning bid amount, plus design, environmental and project administration (total project costs), for purposes of SARI Project design and construction, up to the amount of sixty million dollars ($60,000,000), thirty-five million dollars ($35,000,000)after the award of the construction contract, and the remainder one year after initial deposit. If the SARI Project is publicly bid and the total project cost exceeds one-hundred million dollars ($100,000,000), OCFCD and OCSD shall meet and confer to determine if an increase in the Project loan amount is warranted and feasible prior to award of the construction contract, recognizing that, K such an increase is not warranted or feasible, the construction contract may not be awarded. The OCFCD agrees to repay OCSD all funds loaned by OCSD in three annual installments beginning on or before May 1, 2012. If OCSD has loaned sixty million dollars ($60,000,000)or more, repayment shall be in equal installments. If OCSD has loaned less than sixty million dollars ($60,000,000), repayment in the first two years shall be twenty million dollars ($20,000,000)each year with the balance repaid on or before May 1, 2014. Reimbursement may be deferred only in the event of any delay in OCFCD's receipt of State flood control subvention funds. However, the entire amount due shall be paid no later than July 1, 2018. In addition, interest shall accrue on the unpaid balance from July 2, 2016, at the interest rate of 3% (three-percent), as provided in Civil Code, Section 3289 (b), until the unpaid balance has been repaid.

AGENDA REPORT Item Number Item Number 8(a) Orange County Sanitation District FROM: James D. Ruth, General Manager Originator: Michael Gold, Legislative Affairs Liaison SUBJECT: Legislative, Policy and Political Update GENERAL MANAGER'S RECOMMENDATION Information Only SUMMARY This report is the monthly update from Washington, D.C. and Sacramento highlighting lobbyists' activities, OCSD legislative priorities and other information of interest to the Steering Committee. PRIOR COMMITTEE/BOARD ACTIONS None ADDITIONAL INFORMATION Design-build legislation update SB 645 (Correa and Tran) is set for hearing in the Senate Local Government Committee on April 18 in the Local Government Committee. Staff will provide an update regarding the bill hearing at the Steering Committee meeting. Other priority legislation The City of Los Angeles sponsored AB 1207(Smyth) in response to the Kem County initiative banning the land application of biosolids. AB 1207 would have preempted local authorities from banning biosolids if they met specific criteria developed by the California Integrated Waste Management Board. OCSD supports the bill, but the League of California Cities and CSAC would have been opposed because of preemption. As a result of these concerns, AS 1207 has been made a two-year bill to give the parties involved time to negotiate differences. Another biosolids related bill is SB 55 (Florez)that OCSD opposes, is set for hearing on April 16 in the Senate Environmental Quality Committee. Other bills being tracked by staff are listed on the attached table. Form No.ow-im., Agennv aeaa -sc ReHseO'.01MM7 Page 1 Book Page 9 Federal Legislative Report Eric Sapirslein, ENS Resources John Freshman, Troutman Sanders Public Affairs Group Political highlights With the House and the Senate returning from their Easter recess, a number of unfinished bills will take center stage. These include supplemental appropriations for the war in Iraq, the budget, immigration reform, minimum wage and implementing the recommendations of the 9111 commission. Congress must also begin in earnest the process of writing the appropriations bills for FY 2008 including, of course the bill to provide funding for the OCSD secondary project.. More specifically, the House will take up the Water Resources Development Act (WRDA) on the floor and the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee will begin to mark up WRDA in Committee. These are hopeful signs that the WRDA revisions will be finished this year, which is important to OCSD since they will ensure the increased ceiling for funding the SARI line. Oversight, a key aspect of the Democrats program, will also continue at an aggressive pace so Congress' calendar will be very full. Summary of Activities The federal legislative team of Eric Sapirslein and John Freshman has been setting the stage for the upcoming funding decisions by performing the following tasks: • Worked with the OCSD staff to develop the FY08 funding request for secondary treatment; • Arranged, coordinated and attended meeting between OCSD officials and congressional delegation staff including Senators Boxer and Feinstein and Congresswoman Sanchez; • Discussed with OCSD staff the potential opportunities to work with San Diego on a coalition, perhaps with Honolulu, to help achieve funding for secondary treatment for communities who had received legitimate 301(h)waivers; • Carefully followed progress of appropriations process and worked on strategies to have another visit with Senator Feinstein who is vital to the secondary treatment funding effort; • Monitored general legislative activities of interest to OCSD including the budget and the categories for the environmental programs and • Researched and developed analyses of homeland security funding assistance programs which may benefit OCSD security efforts. Upcoming efforts The federal legislative team, working with OCSD staff, will participate in regular conference calls, continue the liaison with the Congressional delegation, and make sure OCSD needs and interests are represented in Washington.

While a number of individual pieces of legislation have been introduced to appropriate infrastructure bond and Prop 84 monies, it is not until the Governor issues his May Revise that we have a better idea how much of the $42.7 billion in bonds will be authorized and appropriated this year. Possible funding sources for OCSD include the$1 billion in IRWMP funding available statewide, of which the Santa Ana Region is allocated $114 million. However, with two additional funding cycles left in Prop 50, it is unlikely any of the$1 billion in Prop 84 funding will be appropriated this year. Moreover, because of the regional focus on these IRWMP funds, SAWPA is planning to expand its stakeholder group, including OCSD, and take an inclusive approach to funding projects that impact the watershed. The other significant opportunities for band funds include a $90 million to replenish the Clean Beaches funding program. OCSD is eligible to apply for the grant program but must demonstrate water quality improvements from any proposed treatment project. An additional $90 million was included in Prop 84 to create incentives for municipalities to work together on urban runoff cleanup projects and because the Sanitation District collects dry weather runoff, there could be an opportunity to work with member cities and agencies on additional cleanup measures and seeking state funds to help offset the local shared costs. As a result of the significant efforts by the legislature to craft a 2008 water bond,there is interest from Senator Cogdill to meet with water agencies in Orange County to discuss their interest in the water bond and potential support, whether via a legislative or voter initiative. We are working on having the Senator come to Orange County in late April to meet with water agencies, which would be an ideal opportunity for OCSD to participate and emphasize the importance of including wastewater infrastructure funding in any proposed bond measure. In addition, Assembly Member Vlllines has been invited to tour GRWS and meet with OCSD and OCWD representatives. The Assembly Member is the minority leader and from the Central Valley area of Merced, which is a region that is pushing for a bond to build a surface storage project at Temperance Flat outside of Fresno. The meeting and tour is an important opportunity for OCSD to meet with and stress the importance of including wastewater infrastructure funding in a 2008 water bond, particularly with his interest in water recycling, and how such projects are helping to lessen the imported water demand in Southern California.

This bill will be monumental for the state of California which will move the presidential primary to the month of Februa% SB 113 passed on the Assembly Floor with a final vote of 46-29 on March 6 . The Governor's office produced the following signing message which included his intent to reimburse the counties, which stated, "in addition, a separate presidential primary election does not come without costs to California counties. As such, I am signing this measure with the understanding that the Legislature will reimburse counties for the costs of the presidential primary as soon as possible." • Bond Fundina for the State of California. During the month of March, several bills were introduced that provides implementation details for the 2006 $42 billion dollar infrastructure bond package. Many informational hearings are taking place to discuss implementation strategies. Most monies will be distributed through the annual budget act or specified implementing agencies. Also, we have been tracking and monitoring all design-build related legislation that has been introduced or amended in the legislature and the political environment surrounding the issue. (Please see attachment to view these bills). Building Relationships with Legislative Members and Staff Our office in Sacramento has been extremely active through the month of March with reinforcing our existing relationships and developing new ones with incoming members of the State Legislature.
