SUBJECT: Proposed North County Collections Yard
During the October 28, 2009 Steering Committee Meeting, information was
requested regarding the possibility of moving other OCSD staff, in addition to the
Collections Facilities Operations and Maintenance Division (Collections), to the
proposed North County Collections Yard (NCCY).
During the preliminary design, staff evaluated various building and occupancy
configurations. Potential office space needs beyond that required for Collections
staff were identified. In order to determine if efficiencies could be realized by
locating other groups to the NCCY, staff worked with consultants to evaluate:
1. The current and future needs of the Collections group.
2. The future needs of groups outside Collections staff working with Collections staff
at the NCCY.
3. The future needs of groups outside Collections that might relocate to the NCCY.
Key staff from each division were evaluated considering their potential interaction
with Collections staff and work activities. In particular, the Source Control Division
was reviewed for relocation to the NCCY. An October 27, 2007 report by John Barry
&Associates details these efforts. This study concluded that leaving Source Control
in their present location is more cost-effective than moving them to the NCCY.
Other groups were also considered for relocation to the NCCY; however, there were
no compelling business advantages to moving staff from their present location.
Furthermore, moving these groups would negatively impact existing business
operations. For example, Finance and Information Technology have been recently
co-located in the Administration Building to enhance business effectiveness.
Relocating either of these groups to the proposed NCCY would negate this synergy.

November 18, 2009
The proposed new NCCY building contains sufficient space to meet the
requirements of Collections including space for 32 Collections staff and flexible office
space for up to 13 staff from other divisions as shown in the attached table.

GENERAL MANAGER'S RECOMMENDATION
1) Approve the Five-Year Strategic Plan dated November 2009; and,
2) Direct staff to implement goals and strategies contained in the Plan.
SUMMARY
The strategic plan has been updated for 2010 and contains a summary of
accomplishments over the past year as well as levels of service and new goals. The
plan includes OCSD's mission, vision and core values and does not carry any additional
costs associated with the new goals.
PRIOR COMMITTEE/BOARD ACTIONS
November 19, 2008: Five-Year Strategic Plan update approved
November 28, 2007: Five-Year Strategic Plan adopted.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Strategic Plan Update Process
In 2007, the Board of Directors held a series of workshops to develop a Five-Year
Strategic Plan containing not only goals and levels of service, but also updated
statements of mission, vision and core values. The three month process culminated in
adoption of a new plan in November 2007. The plan was updated with new goals in
November 2008 following a strategic planning workshop.
To update the plan for 2010, the executive management team met in July 2009 to
discuss preliminary ideas and suggestions for updates to the plan. These suggested
goals were discussed at a joint meeting of department heads and managers in August.
Following this meeting, the issues were distilled into four new goals proposed for the
next five years. Staff drafted one-page issue papers for each goal that were presented
to the Board of Directors.

Board Input
On October 21, the Board of Directors participated in a workshop to discuss the four
new goals. The well-attended meeting generated some comments and questions.
While the discussion did not yield any new goals or significant modification of existing
plans, several board members had comments and questions. A summary of the
comments (and staff responses) is presented below:
Goal 1—Leadership Development. There was board consensus on this item with the
suggestion that if the program is successful, consideration be given to opening the
program to participation by other Orange County agencies.
Goal 2—Communications. After much discussion about the need for and scope of a
branding initiative proposed by staff, the Board reached consensus support for recasting
this goal as a communications initiative that would refresh and refocus existing outreach
materials, explore emerging social media technology, and upgrade the website.
Goal 3—Chemical Sustainability. There was board consensus for moving forward on
this goal with a request to include measurable goals and benchmarks in the chemical
sustainability plan.
Goal 4—Cast Recovery. There was board consensus on this goal. Board Members
requested that the GAP water project be included in the review and that OCSD continue
to maintain its leadership role in regional issues such as the FOG (fats, oil, grease)
control program and regional organizations such as the Southern California Coastal
Water Research Project.
Finally, the Board asked staff to continue with implementation of the Cooperative
Projects Program to help local agencies correct sewer infiltration problems. Staff noted
that while the program will end this year, we will consider worthwhile projects on a case-
by-case basis as they are brought to our attention by local agency sponsors.
Continual Improvement
In addition to the new goals (marked "new" in the plan) there are some other minor
changes from last year's plan. One outdated level of service target for the collection
system was deleted and the level of service lost work day rate target value was made
more stringent.
Overall, the updated Strategic Plan continues OCSD's goal of moving from good to
great through annual assessments and incremental changes. Each year, the Board will
be asked to provide strategic leadership and guidance to District staff for setting goals
and levels of service.
The Steering Committee and Board are asked to adopt the new Five-Year strategic
plan, which contains no new costs and will help guide the strategic direction of the
organization and staff.

GENERAL MANAGER'S RECOMMENDATION
Approve Amendment No. 2 to the Agreement with Irvine Ranch Water District (As
Successor to County Sanitation District No. 14) Acquiring Ownership Interests, Assigning
Rights and Establishing Obligations, in a form approved by General Counsel.
SUMMARY
Section 5 of Amendment No. 2 to the January 1986 Agreement, dated November 15,
1995 provided that District 14's contribution to the Orange County Sanitation District's
(OCSD) reserves shall be calculated in a manner that is consistent with the method by
which OCSD calculates the reserve share of the areas within the other OCSD
predecessor districts.
District 14 is funded by the Irvine Ranch Water District (IRWD). Per the agreement,
IRWD is required to contribute its share of reserves based on the OCSD Reserve
Policy. OCSD and IRWD have met to determine the amount required and the
calculation that will be used going forward.
District staff believes that the following reserves are related to and should be funded by
District 14 for FY 2008-09, as follows:
OPERATING AND CAPITAL RESERVES:
Next Year's Dry Period (Cash Flow Reserve) $ 4.0 million
Operating Contingency 0.8 million
Operating & Capital Catastrophe Funds 1.7 million
Capital Replacement and Refurbishment 1.7 million
CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM RESERVE
Capital Improvement Program Reserve 2.8 million
TOTAL DISTRICT 14 RESERVE REQUIREMENT 511.0 million
The attached Amendment No. 2 to the February 1986 Agreement is intended to set
forth the method for calculating IRWD's contribution to the Target Reserves.

Book page 9
In determining the correct District 14 cash reserve balance of June 30, 2008, both
agencies agreed to retain the accounting firm Mayer Hoffman MacCann P.C. (MHM).
In their report dated April 20, 2009, MHM documented their findings, including the
flume meter adjustment, change in depreciation methodology and the resulting
accumulated interest in a letter report.
OCSD and IRWD are in agreement with the findings of set forth in the MHM report,
included as Exhibit B within this Amendment No 2. This Report concluded that OCSD
held cash balances of$24,151,766 for District 14's account as of June 30, 2008.
OCSD and IRWD have agreed to apply $11.0 million of this cash balance to meet IRWD's
funding of the District 14 share of the Target Reserves funding, and agreed to apply the
remaining cash balance of$13,151,766 to other invoices issued by OCSD to IRWD for
District 14 expense shares as of June 30, 2009.

AMENDMENT NO. 2 TO AGREEMENT BETWEEN
IRVINE RANCH WATER DISTRICT AND
THE ORANGE COUNTY SANITATION DISTRICT
(AS SUCCESSOR TO COUNTY SANITATION DISTRICT NO. 14)
ACQUIRING OWNERSHIP INTERESTS,ASSIGNING
RIGHTS AND ESTABLISHING OBLIGATIONS
This Amendment No. 2 is made and entered into,to be effective the day of
, 2009,by and between the ORANGE COUNTY SANITATION DISTRICT,("OCSD")
and the IRVINE RANCH WATER DISTRICT,("IRWD"). OCSD and IRWD are sometimes
individually referred to herein as each "Party"and collectively as the "Parties."
RECITALS
This Amendment is entered into with reference to the following facts:
WHEREAS,OCSD is a duly organized County Sanitation District,existing pursuant to the
County Sanitation District Act, California Health& Safety Code Sections 4700 et seq.,providing for the
ownership, operation, and maintenance of wastewater collection,treatment, and disposal facilities;and
WHEREAS,IRWD is organized and exists pursuant to the California Water District Law,
California Water Code Section 34000 at seq., and also owns, operates,and maintains wastewater
collection,treatment,and disposal facilities pursuant to powers granted by such Law;and
WHEREAS,a group of OCSD's predecessor districts, County Sanitation District Nos. 1, 2, 3, 5,
6, 7, 11 and 13,and IRWD entered into an agreement entitled"Formation Agreement"dated March 13,
1985. Through the Formation Agreement, IRWD and the predecessor districts agreed to cooperate in
the formation of County Sanitation District No. 14 of Orange County("District 14") in order to assist
IRWD in treating and disposing of wastewater from IRWD's service area. District 14 was subsequently
formed as of January 1, 1986. District 14 lay entirely within IRWD's service area; and
WHEREAS, District 14 on the one hand and OCSD's other predecessor districts, County
Sanitation District Nos. 1,2,3, 5, 6, 7, 11 and 13 on the other hand,entered into that certain Agreement
"For Purchase and Sale of Capacity Rights In Treatment, Disposal and Sewer Facilities,"dated as of
January 1, 1986("January 1986 Agreement"). Pursuant to the January 1986 Agreement,the other
predecessor districts sold to District 14 (1)an equity ownership interest in joint facilities for the
collection,treatment,and disposal of wastewater,and(2) an equity ownership interest in certain real
properties. Before the predecessor districts were consolidated into OCSD in 1998,thejoint facilities
were known as the"Joint Works Treatment Facilities"or"JWTF." Since consolidation, OCSD has
owned and operated the former JWTF. The former JWTF shall be collectively referred to herein as the
"OCSD Wastewater System." The January 1986 Agreement also provided for District 14's equity
interest in the OCSD Wastewater System to be adjusted annually based on a methodology set forth
therein. and
WHEREAS, District 14 and IRWD entered into that certain Agreement"Acquiring Ownership
Interests,Assigning Rights and Establishing Obligations,"dated as of February 13, 1986(the"February
1986 Agreement"). In the February 1986 Agreement,IRWD agreed, inter alia,to fund District 14's
657 01.1
Book page 11
share of the operations and maintenance costs of the OCSD Wastewater System and capital
expenditures as determined pursuant to the January 1986 Agreement;and
WHEREAS,pursuant to the terms and conditions established by the Local Agency Formation
Commission for the 1998 consolidation,all contracts between IRWD and one or more of OCSD's
predecessor districts,and all contracts between District 14 and one or more of OCSD's predecessor
districts were assigned to OCSD and were to remain in full force and effect as necessary to carry out the
original intent of those agreements,to the extent not inconsistent with the terms of the consolidation. In
order to separately account for the costs that IRWD is contractually obligated to fund with respect to the
former District 14,OCSD has since 1998 maintained a separate Revenue Area known as Revenue Area
14 ("RA 14'); and
WHEREAS,OCSD's ongoing costs for the construction, operation,and maintenance of the
OCSD Wastewater System include,among other costs,the costs of funding monetary reserves. As part
of the budget process, OCSD's Board of Directors establishes target amounts of reserve funding for
particular expenditure categories("Target Reserves'). The Target Reserves for the period 2008-2010
are set forth in Exhibit"A"attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference;and
WHEREAS,District 14 on the one hand and OCSD's other predecessor districts,County
Sanitation District Nos. 1,2,3, 5, 6, 7, 11 and 13 on the other hand,entered into that certain
"Amendment No 2"to the January 1986 Agreement,dated November 15, 1995. Amendment No. 2
provided in Section 5 thereof that District 14's contribution to OCSD's reserves shall be calculated in a
manner that is consistent with the method by which OCSD calculates the reserve shares of the areas
within the other OCSD predecessor districts; and
WHEREAS, OCSD maintains that the amount of IRWD's contribution to the Target Reserves
should be based on the former District 14's equity interest in OCSD's wastewater system. As of the
fiscal year 2007-2008,the former District 14 held a 6%equity interest in the OCSD Wastewater
System. Under OCSD's methodology, IRWD would be responsible for funding approximately$27.7
million in Target Reserves for fiscal year 2009-09,based on the total Target Reserves of$460.9 million
multiplied by 6%; and
WHEREAS, IRWD maintains that IRWD's funding of all categories of the Target Reserves in
an amount equivalent to the former District 14's equity interest in the OCSD Wastewater System would
result in IRWD's funding of certain categories of the Target Reserves that are not necessary for,and are
not related to,RA 14's funding obligations borne by IRWD; and
WHEREAS,the Parties desire to reach an agreement on the method for calculating IRWD's
required contribution to the Target Reserves;and
WHEREAS,this Amendment No.2 to the February 1986 Agreement is intended to set forth the
method for calculating IRWD's contribution to the Target Reserves,; and
WHEREAS,the Parties jointly retained the accounting firm of Mayer Hoffman MacCann P.C.
("Mayer Hoffinan")to assist them in determining the correct cash reserve balance for RA 14 as of June
30,2008. On April 20,2009,Mayer Hoffman documented their findings in a letter report. A copy of
Mayer Hoffinan's letter report is attached hereto as Exhibit`B"and incorporated herein by reference.

AGREEMENT
NOW,THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises set forth herein,the Parties agree
as follows:
Section 1. Target Reserve Expenditure Categories.
IRWD shall fund RA 14's contribution to OCSD's Target Reserves in the following expenditure
categories:
OPERATING AND CAPITAL RESERVES
Next Year's Dry Period(Cash Flow Reserve)
Operating Contingency
Operating&Capital Catastrophe Funds
Capital Replacement and Refurbishment
CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM RESERVE
Capital Improvement Program Reserve
IRWD need not fund an RA 14 contribution to Target Reserves for any other expenditure category for
which the OCSD Board of Directors has currently established a Target Reserve. In the event that the
OCSD Board establishes a Target Reserve in the future for an expenditure category for which OCSD
does not currently maintain a Target Reserve,IRWD shall fund the RA 14 contribution to such Target
Reserve in an amount determined as set forth in Section 2.
Section 2. Amount of IRWD Contribution.
IRWD's funding of the RA 14 contribution to the Target Reserves shall be calculated annually
according to the following formulas:
Expenditure Category Formula
OPERATING AND
CAPITAL RESERVES
Next Year's Dry Period IRWD Contribution=RA 14 Operation& Maintenance Budget x 50%
(Cash Flow Reserve)
Operating Contingency IRWD Contribution=RA 14 Operation& Maintenance Budget x 10%
65P_01.1
Book page 13
Operating& Capital IRWD Contribution=Target Reserve for Operating&Capital
Catastrophe Funds Catastrophe Funds x 49.8%x District 14's Percentage of Equity Interest
in the OCSD Wastewater System
Capital Replacement and IRWD Contribution=Target Reserve for Capital Replacement and
Refurbishment Refurbishment x 49.8%x District 14's%of Equity Interest in the
OCSD Wastewater System
CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT
PROGRAM RESERVE
Capital Improvement IRWD Contribution=Target Reserve for Capital Improvement
Program Reserve Program Treatment and Disposal Projects Only x 50%x District 14's
Percentage of Equity Interest in the OCSD Wastewater System
"In the event that the OCSD Board establishes a Target Reserve in the future for an expenditure
category for which OCSD does not currently maintain a Target Reserve and such expenditure category
is a sub-category of the existing reserves listed above,the reserve amount will be determined using the
corresponding above-listed calculation. If the new Target Reserve is a sub-category of the
Environmental Requirement, Rate Stabilization,Short-Tem1 Specific CIP Reserves or Debt Service
Reserves, IRWD will not contribute to the new Target Reserve. If the new Target Reserve is not a sub-
category of any of the categories listed above, IRWD shall contribute to such Target Reserve in an
amount that is proportional to the contributions of the similarly situated areas served of OCSD. The
parties agree to confer in good faith to reach an agreement on a formula for IRW D's funding of the RA
14 contribution to such Target Reserve in an amount that is consistent with the methodology reflected in
the table above and that is proportional to the contributions of the other similarly situated areas served
by OCSD. In the event that the OCSD Board reduces or discontinues an existing expenditure category
of the Target Reserves,a consistent reduction or discontinuation shall apply to the RA 14 contribution."
Section 3. Existinu Reserve Balances.
Based on the methodology set forth in Section 2,the existing amount of Target Reserves and RA
14's existing equity interest in the OCSD Wastewater System, IRWD is currently obligated to fond the
RA 14 contribution to the Target Reserves in the following amounts:
Expenditure Category Current Amount
OPERATING AND CAPITAL RESERVES
Next Year's Dry Period(Cash Flow Reserve) $4 Million
Operating Contingency $.8 Million
Operating& Capital Catastrophe Fonds $1.7 Million
Capital Replacement and Refurbishment $1.7 Million
657201.1
Book page 14
CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM RESERVE
Capital Improvement Program Reserve $2.8 Million
Total Reserve Obligation $11 Million
The Parties agree with the findings of set forth in the Mayer Hoffman report at Exhibit B. This Report
concluded that OCSD held cash balances of$24,151,766 for RA 14's account as of June 30,2008.
OCSD agrees to apply$11.0 million of this cash balance to meet IRW D's funding of the RA 14 share of
the Target Reserves funding,and agrees to apply the remaining cash balance of$13,151,766 to other
invoices issued by OCSD to IRWD for RA 14 expense shares as of June 30,2009.
Section 4. Indecendent Review of Future Reserve Balances.
IRWD may,at its own expense, engage an independent accounting firm on an annual basis to
perform procedures similar to those employed by Mayer Hoffman. In the event IRWD elects to do so,
OCSD will provide such accountants with access to its records and information as is needed to perform
such review. Any such annual review must be completed within three years following the end of the
fiscal year under review.
Section 5. Interest on Reserve Balances.
RA 14's share of the reserve and other funds held on behalf of IRWD for RA 14's account shall
bear interest at the prevailing annual rate of return of OCSD.
Section 6. Annual Adjustment of Reserve Funding.
Within one hundred eighty(180)days after the close of each fiscal year on June 30 of each
year,OCSD shall calculate IRW D's share of the Target Reserves according to the formulas set forth in
Section 2,and return any excess to the extent that the reserve funds held on behalf of IRWD for the
account of RA 14 exceed IRW D's share of the Target Reserves To the extent that the reserve funds
held on behalf of IRWD for the account of RA 14 are less than IRWD's share of the Target Reserves,
IRWD shall pay the amount of the deficiency to OCSD within thirty(30)days after OCSD notifies
IRWD of IRWD's share of target reserves. The policy, set forth in Exhibit A,that excess accumulated
funds be transferred to rate stabilization, shall not apply to RA 14.
Section 7.Assignment.
This Amendment may not be assigned, in whole or in part, by either party without the prior
written consent of the other Party.
Section 8. Applicable Law.
This Amendment shall be governed by the laws of the State of California.
Section 9. Complete Agreement.

Section 10. Prior Agreements.
This Amendment is intended to implement Section 5 of Amendment No. 2 to the January 1986
Agreement. Except as expressly amended by this Amendment,all terms and conditions of prior
Agreements between the Parties,and all attachments and exhibits thereto, shall remain in full force and

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Federal Legislative Report
Eric Sapirstein, ENS Resources
Federal political update
During the month of September, ENS focused on the reauthorization of the Water Resources
Development Act (WRDA) and continued monitoring of the SARI line. Also, because it is such a
big issue to OCSD, ENS watched closely the development of climate change legislation in the
Senate.
ENS met with the Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works staff to review the
status of proposals providing wastewater treatment facilities with infrastructure assistance. The
current Senate bill, S. 1733, now contains a provision funding public treatment plants to replace
infrastructure impacted by climate changes. While the bill is far from being passed by the full
Senate, the addition of this funding provision is significant.
Discussions in Congress continue on providing infrastructure funding to Publically Owned
Treatment Works(POTWs), led by the National Association of Clean Water Agencies
(NACWA). NACWA's preferred approach is a trust fund that levies taxes to fund water quality
projects; however, California agencies (and others) have been reluctant to sign on because of
fear of equity issues. CASA and OCSD believe that larger states like California will become net
donors to the system. The Obama Administration and the committee chair prefer an
1
Book page 18
infrastructure bank providing loans or grants. Because of its broad support, the bank option
may come together in the coming months.
The final issue being monitored by ENS is the Chemical Facilities and Anti-terrorism Act. While
initial versions of this bill placed wastewater security under the Department of Homeland
Security, the current versions retain the US EPA, working through the states, as the primary
authority. This change is positive because the states will have more flexibility on treatment
technologies and other measures. Action on this bill is not expected until next year.
State Legislative Report
Christopher Townsend, Heather Dion and Casey Elliott, Townsend Public Affairs
Political Highlights
The big news of the past month coming out of Sacramento was the passage of a water policy
bill and bond to fund various water-related improvements. The policy bill contained a number of
water management reforms and was the result of a great deal of bipartisan negotiations. The
package of bills also calls on all Californians to reduce water usage by 20 percent by 2020.
The bond measure is also a significant piece of the mix and, if approved by the voters, would
spend over$11 billion on water related projects around California.
The attached matrix prepared by Townsend Public Affairs lists all the funds proposed in the
bond, but most significant to OCSD is the $1 billion set aside for water recycling programs.
Many in the Capitol are pushing to use a list of projects developed five years ago as the basis
for project funding. OCSD currently has two outdated projects on this list and we are
working to update the list with more current projects. Should the bond pass and this
current water recycling project list be used, OCSD will be in a good position to receive these
dollars. Staff will keep the Steering Committee informed about these developments.
League of California Cities Introduces a New Ballot Measure
Last month, the League of California Cities submitted a local government protection measure
meant to close some of the loopholes from Proposition 1A (2004) and strengthen local
government's ability to keep tax payer funds from being taken or borrowed by the State.
While the main provisions of the measure focus on protection of transportation and highway
users gas tax dollars, the key part of concern to OCSD is the provision prohibiting the State
from taking or borrowing local property tax dollars. In other words, this new measure would
stop the State from borrowing local property taxes to balance its budget.
Staff will monitor this and all the measures proposed for the November 2010 ballot and provide
informational updates. As an aside, there are currently 30 ballot measures in circulation for next
year's ballot. While all will certainly not make it to November 2010, many are preparing for a
packed ballot.
TPA Activities for the Month
• TPA is working with OCSD staff to determine the most competitive projects for the
Integrated Regional Water Management (IRWM) program, through the Department of
Water Resources. OCSD is eligible to compete for the $114 million that is available to
the Santa Ana Region for water management funding. The focus of the program is
integrated regional projects. A call for projects is anticipated very late this fall or early
in 2010.
• TPA is analyzing current water resource bond funding opportunities for OCSD should
voters approve the bond in November 2010.
2
Book page 19
• TPA is working with OCSD staff on the implementation of SB 790 (Pavley)which
would provide funding for grants designed to implement or promote low-impact
development that would contribute to the improvement of water quality or reduce
stormwater runoff. Implementation of the legislation will run through the State Water
Resources Control Board.
Outreach, Education and Communication Activities
$200,000 AQMD Grant Received
I am pleased to report that OCSD has received a$200,000 grant from the South Coast Air
Quality Management District(AQMD) as part of our participation in a pilot study of the catalytic
emissions reduction project at Plant 1 CGS engine (J-79 project). This study will confine that
using the SCR/catalytic oxidizer technology with a digester gas cleaning system using carbon
adsorption will help reduce air pollution in the South Coast Air Basin.
Honor Walk Update
The first round of Honor Walk nominations is due by the beginning of December. Any Board
member wishing to nominate a former Board Member or retired staff is encouraged to submit
their nominations on time. Staff intends to bring the first recommended names to the December
Steering Committee meeting so the honorees can be placed in January. The nomination form is
attached to this report.
GWRS logo and Web site refresh
The GWRS Steering Committee has met a few times to further refine the updated logo and Web
site designs. The new Web site will be completed before the end of the year.
