AGENDA REPORT Item Number 2 Item Number
Orange County Sanitation District
FROM: James D. Herberg, General Manager Originator: Lorenzo Tyner, Assistant General Manager
SUBJECT: FY 2019-20 USE CHARGES FOR SANTA ANA WATERSHED PROJECT
AUTHORITY
GENERAL MANAGER'S RECOMMENDATION
Adopt Resolution No. OCSD 19-XX, entitled: “A Resolution of the Board of Directors of
the Orange County Sanitation District Establishing Use Charges for the 2019-20 Fiscal Year Pursuant to the Wastewater Treatment and Disposal Agreement with the Santa Ana Watershed Project Authority (“SAWPA”)”.
BACKGROUND
Currently, the Orange County Sanitation District (Sanitation District) invoices the Santa Ana Watershed Project Authority (SAWPA) on a quarterly basis for the wastewater discharge received from the SARI line. Annually, the rates for flow, biochemical oxygen demand (BOD), and total suspended solids (TSS) are calculated based upon the fiscal
year budget for treatment and disposal costs and the 1996 Wastewater Treatment and Disposal agreement. The rates calculated for each constituent for FY 2019-20 for wastewater discharge are:
FLOW $221.03
BOD $319.73 TSS $471.81
The FY 2019-20 rates result in approximately an 18.1% increase in the Flow rate, a 12.4% increase in the BOD rate, and a 15% increase in the TSS rate. These increases are due
to a combination of a 6% increase in the Operations & Maintenance budget and changes to the allocation parameters between discharge constituents and the change in equivalent usage per EDU for each constituent as a result of the 2017 Rate Study that was adopted in December 2017. Staff has worked with SAWPA over the past several months and officially communicated the exact rates in May 2019. These rates are separate from the
rates charged for additional capacity purchases by SAWPA.
RELEVANT STANDARDS
•Comply with OCSD Policy – Establishing annual SAWPA treatment and disposalrates
•Supports 1996 Treatment and Disposal agreement with SAWPA
Page 2 of 2
TIMING CONCERNS Rates should be effective for July 1 of FY 2019-20.
RAMIFICATIONS OF NOT TAKING ACTION Rates would not be established for FY 2019-20 for cost recovery for treatment and disposal of SAWPA’s wastewater discharge.
PRIOR COMMITTEE/BOARD ACTIONS A Resolution is adopted annually in June pursuant to the Wastewater Treatment and Disposal Agreement with SAWPA.

AGENDA REPORT Item Number 3 Item Number
Orange County Sanitation District FROM: James D. Herberg, General Manager Originator: Lan Wiborg, Director of Environmental Services SUBJECT: ENVIRONMENTAL REGULATORY REPORTS
GENERAL MANAGER'S RECOMMENDATION Receive and file environmental regulatory reports: Biosolids Management Compliance Report 2018; Annual Pretreatment Program Report Fiscal Year 2017-2018;
Semi-Annual Pretreatment Program Report Fiscal Year 2018-2019 (July-December); Annual Greenhouse Gas Emissions Report 2018; Annual Emission Report 2018; and Marine Monitoring Annual Report 2017/2018. BACKGROUND
The Orange County Sanitation District (Sanitation District) is subject to environmental regulatory oversight by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Regional Water Quality Control Board (Santa Ana Region), California Air Resources Board (CARB), and South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD). These
regulatory bodies require routine reporting, which is prepared by the Sanitation District’s Environmental Services Department. These reports include: 1. Annual Biosolids Report (40 CFR Part 503) required by the Sanitation District’s NPDES permit for ocean discharge. Due February 19th of every year.
2. Annual and Semi-Annual Pretreatment Program Reports required by the Sanitation District’s NDPES permit. Due October 31st and March 31st, respectively, of every year.
3. Annual Mandatory Reporting of Greenhouse Gas Emissions required by CARB. This report uses an online portal for report preparation and submission. Due April 10th of every year. 4. Annual Emission Report required by SCAQMD. Due early-mid March of every
year. 5. Annual Marine Monitoring Report required by the Sanitation District’s NPDES ocean discharge permit. Due March 15th of every year.
RELEVANT STANDARDS
• Comply with environmental permit requirements
Page 2 of 4
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION Environmental regulatory reporting is routinely required by local, state, and federal
regulatory bodies to ensure protection of water, air, and land resources. Some of the
reporting is required to be completed using online reporting portals, which perform calculations based on user input of operational data. The following regulatory reports were filed recently.
The Biosolids Annual Report contains details about the volume, quality, and locations of management of the Sanitation District’s biosolids. The Sanitation District produced about 799 tons per day of biosolids, including digester cleanings, in 2018. The biosolids are anaerobically digested and dried to about 20% solids. The biosolids are managed via composting and land application. The Biosolids Annual Report was submitted
electronically as required by EPA’s Electronic Reporting Rule. Under its ocean discharge permit, the Sanitation District is required to establish and implement an approved pretreatment program to control the level of pollutants discharged into the sewer system. The Sanitation District is also required to submit
Pretreatment Program Annual and Semi-Annual Reports detailing the status of the
approved program. The reports identified herein contain information about all industrial dischargers permitted by both the Sanitation District and the Santa Ana Watershed Project Authority (SAWPA). The Annual and Semi-Annual reports were successfully completed and submitted prior to the October 31, 2018 and March 31, 2019 respective
deadlines.
The SCAQMD’s Annual Emissions Report (AER) represents a facility's annual inventory of criteria pollutants (VOC, NOx, SOx, CO, PM) and toxic air emissions. The emissions are calculated based on throughput volume and emissions measured at applicable
process areas and emission units. The report assesses fees based on a facility's emissions of air contaminants for the reportable year, as specified in SCAQMD Rule 301. The AER reports for both Plants Nos.1 and 2 are prepared and submitted using SCAQMD's web-based emission reporting tool. For calendar year 2018, Plant No. 1 emitted approximately 32 tons of criteria pollutants and paid total fees in the
amount of $12,914.04; Plant No. 2 emitted approximately 25 tons of criteria pollutants and paid total fees in the amount of $8,465.03. The reports were successfully completed and submitted on March 13, 2019, prior to the March 19 deadline. In accordance with the California Global Warming Solutions Act [Assembly Bill 32,
2006], the California Air Resources Board (CARB) requires all major sources that
directly emit Greenhouse Gases (GHG) to annually calculate and submit on a calendar year basis their GHG emissions resulting from their combustion of fuel and importation of electrical power. The GHG inventory report focuses primarily on the emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), and nitrous oxide (N2O). Similar to SCAQMD's
AER reporting portal, the GHG report is electronically prepared and submitted via
CARB's Cal e-GGRT reporting system. For calendar year 2018, Plant No. 1 reported roughly 26,802 metric tons of CO2 emissions, while Plant No. 2 reported approximately 31,352 metric tons of CO2 emissions. The reports were successfully completed and
Page 3 of 4
electronically submitted on April 9, 2019 and are pending third party verification due by August 10, 2019.
The Sanitation District has completed its annual report for the marine monitoring
program, required by the USEPA and the Santa Ana Regional Water Quality Control Board under our NPDES permit. This report summarizes and presents data collected from July 2017 through June 2018, and was successfully completed and electronically submitted on March 14, 2018, in advance of the March 15 deadline.
This report evaluates and measures potential impacts to water quality, sediment chemistry, fish and invertebrate community, fish health, and sediment toxicity. The Sanitation District’s ocean monitoring has three required components: Core Monitoring, Regional Monitoring, and Strategic Process Studies. Components of these monitoring
activities include: monitoring of benthic sediments for chemical deposition, changes in
biological communities, and the health of fish living near the Sanitation District’s ocean outfall. In addition to profiling plume dynamics from the Sanitation District’s effluent discharge, water chemistry, oxygen availability, and physical conditions throughout the water column are monitored to ensure the Sanitation District’s continued compliance
with permit requirements and mission.
As the Sanitation District continues to make advancements to the wastewater treatment processes, our marine monitoring program continues to show improvement of environmental health around the outfall and outer monitoring area. Water quality
measurements demonstrate no negative environmental impacts due to the Sanitation
District’s effluent and brine discharge. Sediment quality concentrations of metals and organic contaminants were well below established guidelines that might result in biological concerns. Marine invertebrates and fish have shown comparable abundances near the outfall and non-outfall stations alike. Monitoring of fish tissue for
trace metals and chlorinated pesticides in muscles and/or livers were also low and
comparable at outfall and non-outfall stations. These results were also well below federal and state human consumption guidelines. CEQA

BACKGROUND
The Risk Management Division of Human Resources (Risk Management) provides the
Administration Committee an annual status update regarding the upcoming annual
renewals of the Orange County Sanitation District’s (Sanitation District) major insurance policies for the upcoming year. Risk Management staff and the Sanitation District’s operational insurance broker, Alliant,
began the renewal process in January and received final quotes in June. After
successfully negotiating with the insurance carriers, Alliant was able to secure competitive rates for the Sanitation District without compromising the quality of coverage provided. The insurance market has been in a state of flux due to events around the world and in the state of California. Insurers have taken losses for previous years and, as a result,
insurance costs will increase to absorb the losses.
The cost of insurance coverage will increase by 11.5%, or $170,294, for a total cost of $1,657,186 for FY 2019-20.
The four major lines of insurance, which are included in the Sanitation District’s budget,
are: 1) Excess General Liability Insurance 2) All-Risk Property and Flood insurance (includes Boiler & Machinery insurance)
3) Earthquake Insurance
4) Excess Workers’ Compensation

RELEVANT STANDARDS
• Protect Orange County Sanitation District assets PROBLEM Insurance is necessary to protect the Sanitation District’s assets and financial well-being.
PROPOSED SOLUTION Approve the insurance renewals as described above to ensure continued coverage of the Sanitation District’s assets.
TIMING CONCERNS Board approval is necessary since current insurance will expire June 30, 2019.
RAMIFICATIONS OF NOT TAKING ACTION Without Board approval, the Sanitation District cannot finalize the contracts with the insurance carriers, and the Sanitation District’s insurance will lapse.
PRIOR COMMITTEE/BOARD ACTIONS April 2019 - Informational presentation to the Administration Committee detailing each of the five major insurances for the Sanitation District operations, and the status of the insurance market.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION 1) Excess General Liability Insurance Program
The Sanitation District’s Excess General Liability Insurance Program is currently provided through the California Municipal Excess Liability Program (CAMEL) and its sister program, the Alliant National Municipal Liability Program (ANML). The Sanitation District has participated in the CAMEL program since FY 1996-97.
This program currently provides the Sanitation District with a $40 million dollar policy of comprehensive coverage for municipal liability, bodily injury and property damage, and personal injury. The program was structured to also include Employment Practices and Public Officials Errors & Omissions coverage. The $40 million dollar coverage has a self-insured deductible of $500,000. Since 1997, the Employment Practices portion of
coverage has been enhanced from a $2 million dollar sub-limit to the full policy limit of $40 million dollars.
Page 3 of 4
2) All-Risk Property and Flood Insurance The All-Risk Property and Flood Insurance Program (Property Insurance) provides for
comprehensive coverage for much of the Sanitation District’s real and personal property
regarding virtually all perils including fire, flood, and business interruption. Current Property Insurance limits are $1 billion dollars for most perils other than flood and earthquakes, and $300 million dollars for flood, with many sub-limits for various situations.
In order to reach $1 billion dollars in limits, the broker had to arrange for more than a
dozen different insurers. The Self-insured Retention (SIR), or deductible, is $250,000 per occurrence for most types of losses. Since the late 1990’s, the Property Insurance has been with a nationwide joint purchase
property insurance program called Public Entity Property Insurance Program (PEPIP),
one of the world’s largest property programs. It is important to note that this joint purchase property insurance program offers the purchasing power of numerous large public entities without the pooling or sharing of coverage or losses.
The Boiler & Machinery insurance program, part of the property insurance, provides
comprehensive coverage for loss caused by machinery breakdown and explosion of steam boilers or other covered process equipment, including damage to the equipment itself and damage to other property caused by covered accident.
The current Boiler & Machinery insurance program provides coverage of $100 million
dollars per occurrence with deductibles ranging from $25,000 to $350,000 for losses caused by covered machinery breakdown (e.g., motors, steam turbines, digesters, co-gen engines). Damages to the equipment, as well as damages to other property and improvements caused by the machinery breakdown, are covered by the Boiler &
Machinery insurance. This program augments the Sanitation District’s all-risk property
insurance that covers perils such as fire and flood. 3) Earthquake Insurance
The Sanitation District previously carried earthquake insurance as part of its Property
Insurance, but in the last 15 years earthquake insurance proved difficult to obtain or not cost-effective. The Sanitation District asked its insurance broker each year to survey the market to see if rates have changed. Finally, in 2015 a plan was created to insure several key Sanitation District structures identified by Engineering, thus keeping the cost in line.
The insurance is a high deductible plan with a limit of $25 million dollars in total.
4) Excess Workers’ Compensation Insurance The Excess Workers’ Compensation insurance coverage is with the California State
Association of Counties Excess Insurance Authority (CSAC EIA). The Sanitation District
has participated in this program or its predecessor since 2003. The Excess Workers’ Compensation program currently provides “Statutory” (unlimited) coverage with a SIR of
Page 4 of 4
$1 million dollars. The use of Excess Workers’ Compensation Insurance dates back to the late 1980’s.

ADMINISTRATION COMMITTEE Meeting Date 06/12/19 To Bd. of Dir. 06/26/19
AGENDA REPORT Item Number 6 Item Number
Orange County Sanitation District FROM: James D. Herberg, General Manager Originator: Lorenzo Tyner, Assistant General Manager SUBJECT: FLEET MANAGEMENT INFORMATION SYSTEM
GENERAL MANAGER'S RECOMMENDATION A. Award a Professional Consultant Services Agreement to Total Resource Management, Inc. for the procurement of software and services to implement and
configure the Transportation Module for Enterprise Asset Management System (IBM Maximo), Specification No. CS-2018-1003BD, for a total amount not to exceed $424,101; and B. Approve a contingency of $42,410 (10%).
BACKGROUND The current Fleet Management Information System (FMIS) was implemented in 2007 and provides basic Fleet asset tracking, motor pool management, and maintenance
management capabilities for the Orange County Sanitation District (Sanitation District). Fleet assets are comprised of vehicles, mobile/portable equipment, and shop equipment, totaling more than 700 assets. IBM Maximo was implemented in January 2013 and is used by the Sanitation District’s
Warehouse and Operations and Maintenance Department in the lifecycle management of the treatment plants’ physical assets. The system provides real-time visibility into asset performance and enables staff to proactively control and optimize asset performance. RELEVANT STANDARDS
• Protect Orange County Sanitation District assets
• Maintain a proactive asset management program
• Maintain a culture of improving efficiency to reduce the cost to provide the current service level or standard PROBLEM
The current FMIS operates as a stand-alone system and does not integrate with other systems including the Financial Management (JD Edwards), IBM Maximo, Time Card (WorkForce Software), Outlook, and SharePoint.
Page 2 of 3
Having the Plant Asset in one system and the Fleet Asset in another system has created a significant operational scheduling complexity and inefficiency for the Sanitation District. The current FMIS does not allow maintenance planners to directly schedule Fleet
equipment for use in plant maintenance activities. The coordination of Fleet equipment
is performed using a manual process by phone. Additionally, the current FMIS is based on an outdated technology which requires additional support and maintenance efforts. PROPOSED SOLUTION
To properly maintain, repair, and manage the Sanitation District’s Fleet Assets, the Information Technology (IT) and Fleet Services divisions request to purchase the IBM Maximo Transportation module and related professional services to install and configure the system. This will allow the Sanitation District to consolidate Fleet Asset with the Plant
Asset and leverage the existing IBM Maximo integration with our other Enterprise
Systems. The result for the Sanitation District will be improved asset and labor productivity, better optimization of maintenance resources, improved efficiency in inventory management, and prevention of asset failure. The Maximo Transportation module will add required functionality for Fleet vehicles and portable/mobile equipment.
This module also provides required support for Fleet Motor Pool management and
equipment reservations. TIMING CONCERNS
Proper maintenance and performance of fleet assets is imperative for the continued
support and safety of plant operations. RAMIFICATIONS OF NOT TAKING ACTION
The decision not to purchase the IBM Maximo Transportation Module and related
professional services will result in continued inefficiencies. This will negatively impact the Maintenance organization’s planned maintenance environment. PRIOR COMMITTEE/BOARD ACTIONS
December 2017 - Approved a Professional Services Agreement for Specification No. S-2017-871BD with Total Resource Management, Inc. for IBM-Maximo Enterprise Asset Management Phase IV – Lock Out Tag Out (LOTO) Software.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
On December 18, 2018, the Sanitation District issued a Request for Proposal (RFP) for the Fleet Management Information System; the RFP closed on January 31, 2019. The Sanitation District received responses from Total Resource Management, Inc.; Fields
Consulting; CCG Systems Inc.; and AssetWorks LLC. A panel consisting of four
Sanitation District staff reviewed and ranked the proposals. This RFP used the individual scoring method. Evaluators discussed the relative strengths and weaknesses of the vendor’s proposal in each area. Staff recommends selection of Total Resource

$56 per wet ton, plus an administrative fee of $2 per wet ton, and an annual base fee increase of $1 per fiscal year, with a term of the Agreement of five (5) years and, upon mutual written agreement, an option to extend on a year-to-year basis with up to two (2) annual extensions in a total annual amount not to exceed
$820,000 per year; and
B. Approve a 10% contingency of $400,000 in the event the Sanitation District needs to send additional loads to this compost option.
BACKGROUND The Sanitation District continues to actively pursue biosolids management options to maintain a long-term, sustainable program that promotes beneficial use of biosolids. In accordance with the principles of its biosolids management policy (Resolution No.
OCSD 13-03), the Sanitation District maintains a diverse portfolio of biosolids management options that utilize multiple contractors, markets, and facilities including the use of local/regional facilities and markets while maintaining fail-safe, back-up options. In 2015, the Los Angeles County Sanitation District and Inland Empire Utilities Agency -
collectively known as the joint power authority, Inland Empire Regional Composting Authority (IERCA), offered the option to compost the Sanitation District’s biosolids at their Inland Empire Regional Composting Facility (IERCF) located in the City of Rancho Cucamonga. The Sanitation District saw the benefits of this regional composting option located within our local [air] basin and executed an agreement with IERCA. This
agreement expires on June 30, 2019. To continue service, IERCA offers a new agreement to receive and compost up to 50 wet tons of the Sanitation District’s biosolids per day (five days a week) at their composting facility, at a tipping fee of $56 per ton of biosolids and an administrative fee of $2 per wet
ton. The tipping fee may be subject to an annual increase of $1 per fiscal year, which
Page 2 of 3
would be implemented only in the event IERCA increases the Standard Biosolids Recycling Rate in that same fiscal year.
The term of the Agreement is for five (5) years and, upon mutual written agreement,
extends the duration of the Agreement on a year-to-year basis with up to two (2) annual extensions. The total annual amount will not exceed $820,000 per year (reference attachment). With a hauling fee of approximately $15.50 per ton (services provided by Denali Contract effective 5/12/19), the total cost is about $72.50 per ton during the first
year.
RELEVANT STANDARDS
• Comply with Resolution No. OCSD 13-03, Biosolids Recycling Policy
• 2017 Biosolids Master Plan
• Safe, beneficial reuse of Biosolids
PROBLEM The existing biosolids management contract between IERCA and the Sanitation District expires on June 30, 2019. If the Sanitation District does not execute the contract, the
Sanitation District’s biosolids management diversity will be lessened. There are no other
local government operated facilities within a 50-mile radius. PROPOSED SOLUTION
Approve the Agreement to continue biosolids management diversity and sustainability
while supporting a local, in-basin management option. TIMING CONCERNS
The existing biosolids management contract between IERCA and the Sanitation District
expires on June 30, 2019. RAMIFICATIONS OF NOT TAKING ACTION
The Sanitation District will not be able to utilize this local biosolids management option
that is within the basin. PRIOR COMMITTEE/BOARD ACTIONS

ADMINISTRATION COMMITTEE Meeting Date 06/12/19 To Bd. of Dir. --
AGENDA REPORT Item Number 8 Item Number --
Orange County Sanitation District FROM: James D. Herberg, General Manager Originator: Kathy Millea, Director of Engineering SUBJECT: DIGESTER GAS FACILITIES REHABILITATION, PROJECT NO. J-124
GENERAL MANAGER'S RECOMMENDATION Information Only.
BACKGROUND Orange County Sanitation District (Sanitation District) maintains a system of digester gas handling facilities including compressors, holders, filters, piping, flares, and a building for the compressors. These facilities must operate safely and reliably in order to capture,
store, and transport digester gas (methane) generated during the wastewater treatment process so that the methane can be used as fuel for the Sanitation District’s electrical generation facilities. Digester Gas Facilities Rehabilitation, Project No. J-124, will rehabilitate or replace digester gas handling facilities at Plant Nos. 1 and 2, which were installed in the 1980s.
The need for the project and the general configuration of the facilities were defined in the Digester Gas Facilities Study for Plant Nos. 1 and 2, Project No. SP-141, completed in 2015. The current $53 million construction cost budget was based on the 2015 study’s cost estimate.
RELEVANT STANDARDS
• Use all practical and effective means for resource recovery
• 24/7/365 treatment plant reliability PROBLEM
On May 13, 2019, the design consultant submitted the Preliminary Design Report cost estimate. Based on this updated cost estimate, the project cost is estimated to increase from $96.5 million to $156.5 million, a $60 million increase. A higher construction cost estimate was anticipated as the Fiscal Year 2019-20 budget was being developed, so $40 million was reserved for that purpose in the future rehabilitation and replacement line
item. A comparison of the two estimates indicates that the difference is primarily due to the planning study’s underestimation of construction costs. The project Scope of Work
Page 2 of 3
remains the same. The facility described in the Preliminary Design Report is largely consistent with the planning study recommendations.
PROPOSED SOLUTION
Staff recommends a project budget increase of $60 million, $40 million of which is included in the $200 million allocation for future rehabilitation and replacement projects in the proposed Fiscal Year 2019-20 Budget Update. An additional $20 million will also be
funded from this allocation. This increase will not affect the remaining rate schedule.
Since the estimate was received on May 13, the Capital Improvement Program Budget information item presented at the May 1 Operations Committee meeting and the May 8 Administration Committee meeting did not address this issue.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION A Value Engineering team reviewed the Preliminary Design Report recommendations the week of April 29, 2019. Value engineering is a formal process for an independent team
to review the proposed project and identify potential options to lower cost, expedite
construction, or improve the design. The Value Engineering team was provided through the Supplemental Engineering and Staff Support Services contract with Jacobs. The project team is currently working with the design consultant to review which of the
Value Engineering recommendations are viable and consistent with the project
objectives. The recommendations, however, are small compared to the magnitude of the construction cost increase. PRIOR COMMITTEE/BOARD ACTIONS
November 2017 - Approved a Professional Design Services Agreement with Brown and Caldwell to provide engineering design services for the Digester Gas Facilities Rehabilitation, Project No. J-124, for an amount not to exceed $11,770,000; and approved a contingency of $1,177,000 (10%).
CEQA A Notice of Exemption (NOE) was filed at the County Clerk’s office on November 20, 2017. A revised NOE will need to be filed due to changes in the project,
however, the project will remain exempt from CEQA under the Class 1 and 2 categorical
exemptions set forth in California Code of Regulations sections 15301 and 15302. Section 15301 (Class 1) exempts from CEQA the operation, repair, maintenance or minor alteration of existing public or private structures, facilities involving negligible or no
expansion of use beyond that existing at the time of the lead agency’s determination including “(b) Existing facilities of both investor and publicly-owned utilities used to provide electric power, natural gas, sewerage, or other public utility services.”
Page 3 of 3
Section 15302 (Class 2) exempts from CEQA the replacement or reconstruction of existing structures and facilities where the new structure will be located on the same site as the structure replaced and will have substantially the same purpose and capacity as
the structure replaced, including “(c) Replacement or reconstruction of existing utility
systems and/or facilities involving negligible or no expansion of capacity.” FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS
The $60 million increase will come from funds allocated for future rehabilitation and
replacement. This will not affect the remaining rate schedule. ATTACHMENT

The proposed budget includes 4 new staff positions, bringing the total authorized FTE’s from 636 to 640.
Subsequent to the printing of the FY 2019-20 Budget Update, changes were made to the
project budget of the Digester Gas Facilities Rehabilitation project (Project J-124). See the attached Errata sheet for details.
BACKGROUND
The FY 2019-20 Proposed Budget Update represents known revisions to the second year of the two-year budget and is enclosed for the Committee's consideration. The Budget has been presented to the Operations Committee at the regular June meeting in order to allow each Standing Committee an opportunity to review the proposal prior to the June
Board meeting. Although each Committee has had an opportunity to review the proposal, it remains the responsibility of the Administration Committee to recommend approval.
Page 2 of 3
The Administration Committee is requested to recommend that the Board of Directors approve this budget at the June 26, 2019 Board meeting.
RELEVANT STANDARDS
• Produce Operations and CIP budgets every two years, with annual update PROBLEM
The Orange County Sanitation District (Sanitation District) cannot maintain and monitor its financial condition, operations, and future capital improvements without examination and transparency into its resources, revenues, reserves, and outlays. PROPOSED SOLUTION Providing the Board with an understanding of the Sanitation District’s resources will assist in the approval of the proposed two-year budget. TIMING CONCERNS The proposed two-year budget, effective July 1 of this year, will be finalized and presented
to the Board for adoption in June. RAMIFICATIONS OF NOT TAKING ACTION
The Sanitation District will not be able to carry out its financial fiduciary duties beyond
June 30, 2019. PRIOR COMMITTEE/BOARD ACTIONS
The FY 2018-19 and 2019-20 biennium budget was adopted on June 27, 2018. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION The proposed FY 2019-20 operating and capital improvement budget totals $321.5
million, or $24.3 million (8.1 percent), above what was approved last year as the second year of the adopted two-year budget. The increase in the FY 2019-20 budget is primarily attributable to $16.3 million of delays in construction start dates where spending has been deferred and an increase of $8.0 million in operating budget.
The 4 new staff positions are a Lead Heavy Equipment Mechanic, Senior Heavy Equipment Mechanic (2), and a Senior Regulatory Specialist. The mechanic positions are to support the Maintenance efforts of the Sanitation District and the regulatory specialist will assist in the efforts of the Environmental Services Division.
$200 million has been set aside for Rehabilitation and Replacement of assets. This amount will be updated in future years as the funds are expended.
Page 3 of 3
The proposed amounts for Debt Service, Self-Insurance, and Intra-District Transfers total $84.3 million, which approximate the originally adopted FY 2019-20 budget.

AGENDA REPORT Item Number 10 Item Number
Orange County Sanitation District FROM: James D. Herberg, General Manager Originator: Lorenzo Tyner, Assistant General Manager SUBJECT: GANN APPROPRIATIONS LIMIT FOR FISCAL YEAR 2019-20
GENERAL MANAGER'S RECOMMENDATION Adopt Resolution No. OCSD 19-XX, entitled: “A Resolution of the Board of Directors of the Orange County Sanitation District Establishing the Annual Appropriations Limit for
Fiscal Year 2019-20 for the District in accordance with the Provisions of Division 9 of Title 1 of the California Government Code.” BACKGROUND
This routine annual action adopts a resolution establishing the spending limit for “proceeds of taxes” in accordance with Article XIII B of the Constitution of the State of California (Section 7910 of the Government Code). The Orange County Sanitation District’s (Sanitation District) annual appropriations are well below the limit.
In 1979, Proposition 4 (the Gann Initiative) was approved adding Article XIII B to the State Constitution. The provisions of this article place limits on the amount of revenue that can be appropriated by all entities of government. This initiative was designed to constrain government expenditures by placing an annual limit on jurisdictions' revenue and appropriation growth. The Appropriation Limit is based on actual appropriations during
the 1978-1979 fiscal year, as increased each year using specified population and inflationary growth factors. This annual allowance growth is linked to changes in population and cost of living. The passage of Proposition 111 in June 1990 amended Article XIIIB, making changes in the base year upon which the appropriations limit is based, establishing new cost of living factors and new population factors for use by local
governments, and increasing appropriations not subject to the limit (primarily qualified capital outlay projects). The financial constraints of Article XIII B apply to the State, all cities, counties, special districts, and all other political subdivisions. RELEVANT STANDARDS
• Produce Operations and CIP budgets every two years, with annual update PROBLEM Article XIII B of the State Constitution places limits on the amount of revenue that can be
appropriated by all entities of government.

rate with the introduction of excess air or oxygen and consume dissolved nutrients in the wastewater.
BENTHOS – The community of organisms, such as sea stars, worms, and shrimp, which live on, in, or near the seabed, also
known as the benthic zone.
BIOCHEMICAL OXYGEN DEMAND (BOD) – The amount of oxygen used when organic matter undergoes decomposition by
microorganisms. Testing for BOD is done to assess the amount of organic matter in water.
BIOGAS – A gas that is produced by the action of anaerobic bacteria on organic waste matter in a digester tank that can be used
as a fuel.
BIOSOLIDS – Biosolids are nutrient rich organic and highly treated solid materials produced by the wastewater treatment process.
This high-quality product can be recycled as a soil amendment on farmland or further processed as an earth-like product for
commercial and home gardens to improve and maintain fertile soil and stimulate plant growth.
CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM (CIP) – Projects for repair, rehabilitation, and replacement of assets. Also includes
treatment improvements, additional capacity, and projects for the support facilities.
COLIFORM BACTERIA – A group of bacteria found in the intestines of humans and other animals, but also occasionally found
elsewhere, used as indicators of sewage pollution. E. coli are the most common bacteria in wastewater.
COLLECTIONS SYSTEM – In wastewater, it is the system of typically underground pipes that receive and convey sanitary
wastewater or storm water.
CERTIFICATE OF PARTICIPATION (COP) – A type of financing where an investor purchases a share of the lease revenues of
a program rather than the bond being secured by those revenues.
CONTAMINANTS OF POTENTIAL CONCERN (CPC) – Pharmaceuticals, hormones, and other organic wastewater
contaminants.
DILUTION TO THRESHOLD (D/T) – The dilution at which the majority of people detect the odor becomes the D/T for that air
sample.
GREENHOUSE GASES (GHG) – In the order of relative abundance water vapor, carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, and
ozone gases that are considered the cause of global warming (“greenhouse effect”).
GROUNDWATER REPLENISHMENT SYSTEM (GWRS) – A joint water reclamation project that proactively responds to Southern
