Activated-sludge process — A secondary biological wastewater treatment process where bacteria
reproduce at a high rate with the introduction of excess air or oxygen, and consume dissolved
nutrients in the wastewater.
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.
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
farm land 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.

Greenhouse gases — 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 (GWR) System — A joint water reclamation project that proactively

Orange County Water District and the Orange County Sanitation District provides 70 million gallons a
day of drinking quality water to replenish the local groundwater supply.
Levels of Service (LOS)—Goals to support environmental and public expectations for performance.
NOMA— N-Nitrosodimethylamine is an N-nitrosoamine suspected cancer-causing agent. It has been
found in the Groundwater Replenishment System process and is eliminated using hydrogen peroxide
with extra ultra-violet treatment.
National Biosolids Partnership (NBP) — An alliance of the National Association of Clean Water
Agencies (NACWA) and Water Environment Federation (WEF), with advisory support from the U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). NBP is committed to developing and advancing
environmentally sound and sustainable biosolids management practices that go beyond regulatory
compliance and promote public participation in order to enhance the credibility of local agency
biosolids programs and improved communications that lead to public acceptance.
Plume—A visible or measurable concentration of discharge from a stationary source or fixed facility.
Publicly-owned Treatment Works (POTW)— Municipal wastewater treatment plant.

microorganisms, growing as slime on the surface of rocks or plastic media, consume nutrients in
wastewater as it trickles over them.
Urban runoff — Water from city streets and domestic properties that carry pollutants into the storm
drains, rivers, lakes, and oceans.
Wastewater—Any water that enters the sanitary sewer.

ON BEHALF OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS WITH GENERAL MANAGER, JAMES
D. HERBERG; AUTHORIZATION OF THE BOARD CHAIR TO EXECUTE THE AT-
WILL EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT; AND AUTHORIZATION OF THE BOARD CHAIR
TO PROVIDE NOTICE OF TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT TO GENERAL
MANAGER JAMES RUTH.
BOARD CHAIR'S RECOMMENDATION
Recommend that the Board of Directors:
A. Adopt Resolution No. OCSD 13-02 appointing James D. Herberg ("Mr. Herberg")
to the position of General Manager for the Orange County Sanitation District
("OCSD");
B. Approve the At-Will Employment Agreement, attached hereto, with Mr. Herberg

SUMMARY
Pursuant to the OCSD General Manager Transition Plan, the employment of James D.
Ruth ("Mr. Ruth") as the General Manager of OCSD was planned to terminate as of

A proposed resolution for this appointment and related at-will employment agreement is
enclosed.
Page 1 of 3
911576.1
PRIOR COMMITTEE/BOARD ACTIONS
October 24, 2001 — Board Resolution No. 01-21 approving base salary and benefits
package (not to exceed 38% of base salary) plus merit opportunity for the General
Manager.
April 28, 2004 — Board approval for the Chair to directly negotiate terms and conditions
of a contract amendment with the General Manager and requirement to report those
results to the Steering Committee.
April 25, 2012 — Steering Committee report of the General Manager's Transition Plan
with a completion date of April 1, 2013.
September 26, 2012 — Steering Committee receipt and filing of the General Manager
Transition Plan. Mr. Herberg identified as successor General Manager, effective April 1,
2013, the departure date of OCSD's current General Manager, Mr. Ruth. The report
also provided information about the active recruitment of a Director of Engineering.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
OCSD's Beyond 2012 Reorganization Plan, adopted by the Board in mid-2010,
recognized the need for a General Manager succession plan. The plan included the
appointment of a second Assistant General Manager, which allowed for an additional
potential internal candidate for General Manager. Mr. Herberg, Director of Engineering,
was selected through the recruitment process as the second Assistant General
Manager, effective February 1, 2011. Mr. Herberg agreed to continue to perform
Director of Engineering duties while assuming the responsibilities of Assistant General
Manager until a replacement could be found for the Director of Engineering position.
At the September 2012 Board meeting, it was announced that Mr. Herberg would be the
recommended successor General Manager effective April 1, 2013. In the meantime,
Mr. Herberg would continue to perform the duties of Assistant General
Manager/Director of Engineering.
In December 2012, the recruitment for Director of Engineering was concluded. The
selected candidate, Nicolas Kanetis ("Mr. Kanetis"), began employment on January 21,
2013, which allowed Mr. Herberg to transition Director of Engineering responsibilities to
Mr. Kanetis before assuming the General Manager position on April 1, 2013, pending
Board approval.
The proposed At-Will Employment Agreement with Mr. Herberg, which is included
herein as an attachment, specifies a proposed annual base salary of $215,000, which is
within the set salary range for the General Manager classification. This proposed
annual base salary is a 13% increase from Mr. Herberg's current salary of $190,590 as
Assistant General Manager, and is 10% higher than the next highest paid subordinate's
salary. Pursuant to Resolution No. 01-21, adopted in October of 2001, the Board
provided a benefit package for the General Manager valued in an amount not to exceed
Page 2 of 3
911576.1
38% of the General Manager's base salary. In lieu of selecting from a variety of
different benefit options, Mr. Herberg has elected a fixed benefits package, which is
34% of Mr. Herberg's proposed base salary ($215,000).
The funds for the compensation and benefit package of the General Manager are
derived from the OCSD Operating Budget and have been included in the FY 2012-13
and 2013-14 adopted budgets.

work week and may also include time outside normal office hours (including attendance at
Board and Committee meetings). General Manager is classified as an exempt employee under
the Fair Labor Standards Act ("FLSA") and shall not be entitled to any additional compensation
for hours worked in excess of forty in a work week.
Section 2: Mr. Herberg shall be employed in an "at-will" capacity serving at the sole
pleasure of the Board. Either party to this Agreement may terminate the Agreement at any time
for any reason with or without cause, and without hearing, upon 30 days' notice to the other
party. Mr. Herberg is advised and acknowledges that he has none of the termination rights of a
Regular employee of the District. Except as expressly provided herein, and as a condition of
employment, Mr. Herberg knowingly, willingly and voluntarily gives up, waives, and disclaims
any and all rights he may have, express or implied, to any notice and/or hearing before or after
termination, and/or to any continued employment with the District after termination.
As an "at-will" employee, Mr. Herberg understands that he may be subject to termination
with or without cause at the sole discretion of the Board, notwithstanding that the other
provisions of the District's Personnel Policies and Procedures Manual (hereinafter referred to as
"Manual") apply to Mr. Herberg. If employment should be terminated without cause, Mr. Herberg
shall be given a thirty (30) day Notice of Termination and severance pay in an amount equal to
six (6) months of his then current annual base salary.
If the District terminates this Agreement (thereby terminating Mr. Herberg's employment)
without cause, the severance pay is considered a rash settlement related to the termination of
Mr. Herberg and shall therefore be fully reimbursed to the District by Mr. Herberg if Mr. Herberg
is convicted of a crime involving an abuse of his office or position. Abuse of office or position
shall have the meaning set forth in Government Code 53243.4, as may be amended, of either
(1) an abuse of public authority, including, but not limited to, waste, fraud, and violation of the
z
911590.1
Return to Agenda Report
law under color of authority or (2) a crime against public justice, including, but, not limited to, a
crime described in Title 7 (commencing with Section 92 of Part 1 of the Penal Code). Mr.
Herberg shall reimburse such severance pay to the District no later than six months after such
conviction. If Mr. Herberg terminates his employment with 30 days' notice, the Board shall have
the right to accept his resignation effective the date notice is given. Such decision to accept his
resignation earlier shall not be considered a termination without cause and shall not entitle Mr.
Herberg to receive the severance pay noted above.
Section 3: The term of this Agreement shall commence on the effective date above and
continue for an indefinite duration, until terminated by either Party pursuant to Section 2 above,
or unless terminated or amended as provided herein.
Section 4: As compensation for the services to be performed hereunder, upon the
effective date, District agrees to pay General Manager an annual base salary for services
rendered of Two Hundred Fifteen Thousand Dollars ($215,000), subject to all applicable
deductions and withholdings of any and all sums required by then current state, federal or local
law, along with deductions of applicable sums the General Manager is obligated to pay because
of participation in plans and programs described in this Agreement, and paid biweekly in
accordance with the District's established accounting and payroll practices at the same time and
in the same manner as other employees of the District. No increase in salary may exceed the
compensation permitted by the applicable salary range for the classification established by duly
adopted Resolution of the Board.
Section 5: For the period of this Agreement, District shall provide Mr. Herberg with a
fixed benefit package that includes the following:
• Personal Leave - 200 hours per fiscal year, earned on a biweekly fiscal year
basis, which is eligible for annual cash out in accordance with the Manual.
• Investment Incentive Salary (IIS) - 5% of base salary applied on a biweekly fiscal
year basis.
• Deferred Compensation - OCSD-paid annual allocation for 2013 of $5,000
allocated on a biweekly calendar year basis.
Mr. Herberg's benefit package shall also include benefits consistent with the Manual for:
holiday pay; medical, dental, vision and life insurance; long-term and short-term disability
insurance; and employee assistance program. Additionally, Mr. Herberg's benefit package shall
3
911590.1

include executive disability insurance benefits, consistent with those provided to OCSD
managers.
These benefits shall remain in full force and effect unless and until replaced by an
amendment to this Agreement, signed by Mr. Herberg and approved by the Board, which
amendment shall include the effective date thereof.
Section 6: District's Steering Committee shall meet with General Manager in August
of each year during the term of this Agreement to review and evaluate his performance over the
prior year. The Steering Committee shall make its recommendation(s) to the Board concerning
adjustment to the compensation and/or benefits paid or provided to General Manager, to be
effective in July of the year of review. After consideration of the recommendation(s) of the
Steering Committee, the Board shall determine and approve the compensation, including
benefits, payable to General Manager, which generally becomes effective July of the fiscal year
of the review. Failure of the District to review and evaluate the performance of the General
Manager pursuant to this section shall not affect the right of the District to terminate the General
Manager's employment and shall not be considered a breach of this Agreement.
Section 7: Mr. Herberg shall be a Participant Member in the Orange County
Employees Retirement System ("OCERS"). District shall pay the required employer's
contribution, and 0% of Mr. Herberg's required contribution towards membership in OCERS.
The amount of the required employer's contribution will not be included within the maximum
limits of the benefits package, as set forth in Section 7 above.
Section 8: District shall reimburse General Manager for all expenses paid by him
and incurred for non-personal,job-related District business that are reasonably necessary to the
General Manager's service to the District. The District agrees to either pay such expenses in
advance or to reimburse the expenses, so long as the expenses are incurred and submitted
according to the criteria established by District's budget and/or normal expense reimbursement
procedures pursuant to applicable policy Resolutions. To be eligible for reimbursement, all
expenses must be supported by documentation meeting the District's policies and requirements
and must be submitted within time limits established by the District. Such reimbursement shall
not be considered a benefit.
Section 9: During the period of this Agreement, it is agreed that General Manager
shall devote his full-time, skills, labor and attention to said employment. At no time may General
a
911590.1
Return to Agenda Report
Manager undertake outside activities consisting of consultant work, speaking engagements,
writing, lecturing, or other similar professional activities for money or other consideration without
prior approval of District's Steering Committee. However, the expenditure of reasonable
amounts of time for educational, charitable, or professional activities shall not be deemed a
breach of this Agreement if those activities do not conflict or materially interfere with the
services required under this Agreement, and shall not require the prior written consent of the
Steering Committee.
This Agreement shall not be interpreted to prohibit General Manager from making
passive personal investments or conducting private business affairs, provided those activities
are not deemed to be a conflict of interest by state law nor do they conflict or materially interfere
with the services required under this Agreement.
Section 10: Because General Manager is an at-will employee, the District is not
obligated to pay General Manager pending an investigation into any alleged misconduct by the
General Manager. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the District's Board
determines, in its sole discretion, that it is in the best interest of the District for General Manager
to be placed on paid administrative leave pending such an investigation, General Manager shall
fully reimburse any salary provided for that purpose if the misconduct for which the General
Manager was under investigation results in the General Manager being convicted of a crime
involving an abuse of his office or position as defined in Section 2 of this Agreement. General
Manager shall reimburse such salary to the District no later than six months after such
conviction.
Section 11: In the event that the District provides funds for the legal criminal defense
of General Manager, General Manager shall fully reimburse said funds to the District if the
General Manager is convicted of a crime involving an abuse of his/her office or position as
defined in Section 2 of this Agreement. General Manager shall reimburse such criminal legal
defense fees to the District no later than six months after such conviction.
Section 12: The terms and conditions of employment for General Manager, including
other employment benefits for the General Manager that are not specifically provided for in this
Agreement, shall be governed by the Manual, to the extent that amendments to the Manual
made after the effective date of this Agreement are not inconsistent with the provisions of this
Agreement. In the event of any such inconsistency or conflict, the provisions of this Agreement
5
911590.1

shall govern.
Section 13: This Agreement supersedes any and all other prior agreements, either
oral or in writing, and specifically, but not limited to, Mr. Herberg's At Will Employment

waiver of that term, covenant, or condition, nor shall any waiver or relinquishment of any right or
power at any one time or times be deemed a waiver or relinquishment of that right or power for
all or any other times.
Section 17: If any provision of this Agreement is held by a court of competent
jurisdiction to be invalid, void or unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall nevertheless
continue in full force without being impaired or invalidated in any way.

STEERING COMMITTEE'S RECOMMENDATION
Receive and file OCSD General Manager Transition Plan
SUMMARY
Completing the execution of the organization succession plan has been very important
to OCSD and its Board of Directors. One of the most important pieces to this plan was
to ensure the long-term organization stability within the key role of the General Manager
position. The Steering Committee has developed the General Manager Transition Plan
below.
We have established the following Milestones to complete the Transition readiness:
Apr 30, 2012 Director of Engineering (DOE)— Internal Candidate Review
Jul 1, 2012 DOE Internal Candidate—Go/ No Go
Oct 1, 2012 Go 4 Move forward with the Internal Candidate and begin 90-day
Transition Plan — OR—
No Go + Begin 90-day external recruitment
Jan 1, 2013 Go + Internal Candidate is in place serving as DOE and 90-day
stabilization period begins
Mar 1, 2013 Decision on union negotiation consulting assistance finalized and union
negotiations begin
Apr 1, 2013 General Manager Transition Plan completed
In summary, we believe this Transition Plan identifies any constraints that could affect
the General Manager transition. Pending litigation should also be evaluated to see if
there are any significant technical management dependencies that would have an
impact.

GENERAL MANAGER'S RECOMMENDATION
Adopt the 2013 Legislative Platform and Goals.
SUMMARY
At last month's Steering Committee, staff presented the draft 2013 Legislative Platform
and Goals, and the Committee provided direction and suggestions to staff regarding the
program's direction this year. Staff modified the Platform based on the January 23
discussion.
PRIOR COMMITTEE/BOARD ACTIONS
Legislative Platform adopted by the Board of Directors, March, 2012.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Attached to this report is the 2013 Legislative Platform for your consideration. This
document guides staff in taking positions on legislation in Sacramento and Washington,
D.C. so we can act quickly, when necessary. All bills being tracked by staff are listed in
a matrix that is included in the monthly Legislative Report to the Steering Committee.
When a bill is controversial or requires additional attention, staff will report these out to
the Steering Committee for information or direction.
Follow-up to last month's meeting
At the January Steering Committee, Members provided input and suggestions to the
goals for the year and directed staff to develop ideas for legislative proposals. As a
result, staff modified the goals as follows:
• Federal Goals
• Actively work with CASA in support of their Federal Legislative program
and goals;
• Work with Congress and the EPA on the Sunshine on Conflicts Act to
ensure passage or implement rule changes;
Page 1 of 3
• Work with Congress on legislative and regulatory changes related to the
Clean Water Act, including pursuing extended NPDES permit terms;
• Seek Federal Funding for projects, including infrastructure funding,
ecosystem restoration and alternative energy projects.
• State Goals
• Support legislative proposals that streamline environmental regulations,
reduce Orange County Sanitation District's (OCSD) costs, and support
policy directions of the Steering Committee, including taking an active role
in CEQA reform;
• Aggressively protect local property taxes through ongoing meetings and
outreach to legislative staff locally and in Sacramento;
• Protect OCSD's interests in reducing pension costs as the State
Legislature considers clean-up legislation to the Public Employee Pension
Act of 2012;
• Seek state funding through grants and report progress to the Steering
Committee.
The modified goals reflect a more active legislative program, including regular meetings
with legislative staff locally and in Sacramento, as well as taking a prominent role in
CEQA and pension reform.
In addition to these goals staff will:
• Have regular meetings and conference calls with legislative advocates to discuss
pending issues and priorities (through the end of the current contract term);
• Receive monthly written reports from advocates (through the end of the current
contract term);
• Schedule regular meetings with legislative staff to brief them on OCSD's projects
and priorities;
• As directed, coordinate trips to Sacramento and Washington, D.C. for Board
Members to meet with legislators.
Also following the meeting, staff met (or will meet) with the Managers' Team and the
Executive Management Team to get their ideas for policy changes that would benefit
OCSD. Staff will report these ideas in March.
Staff is requesting adoption of the 2013 Legislative Platform.
Page 2 of 3
2012 Accomplishments
Last year, staff met with all the members of the Orange County State delegation to
discuss OCSD's property taxes and how important they are to our operations. We
effectively communicated this importance and protected OCSD's property taxes through
the budget process. We also discussed pension reform with legislators and let them
know how we were one of the first agencies to implement a two-tier pension system
across the board and how OCSD has been a leader in trimming costs.
OCSD was also involved in a bill related to bio-cremation and worked with CASA and
others to provide valuable information that allowed the bill to move forward. The bill,
however, died in the Senate. We were also actively involved in a bill dealing with
communicating to the regional water boards. In exchange for dropping the bill, the State
Water Resources Control Board changed their own rules to allow for more open
communication with Board members.
At the Federal level, we worked with CASA and Congressman Miller to advance the
Sunshine on Conflicts Act, to more effectively deal with appointments to regional water
boards. This bill was the result of meetings in DC attended by the Chair and Vice Chair.
We also put pressure on EPA to resolve this issue through the rule-making process.
This bill has returned this year with Congressman Miller as its author.

Orange County Sanitation District
2013 Legislative Platform
Introduction
The Orange County Sanitation District(OCSD) recognizes the need for an active State and Federal
legislative advocacy program to ensure the interests of the ratepayer and Board of Directors are
protected.Towards that end,the legislative affairs team monitors activities in Sacramento and
Washington,D.C. and takes appropriate action in support or opposition of legislative initiatives.
Each year,the Board of Directors adopts a Legislative Platform,which is a summary of goals, key issues
and OCSD's policy position.The following legislative policies have been developed by OCSD staff and
legislative advocates in consideration of OCSD service area cities'and policy needs.These Board-
approved policies serve as OCSD's official positions of support or opposition on issues of importance to
the agency.The Legislative Platform is a dynamic document,adopted annually and changing to the
needs of the Board.
The legislative affairs team, in conjunction with the Board, may take appropriate action consistent with
the Legislative Platform,including, but not limited to,drafting letters, lobbying legislators and staff and
crafting bills.
Procedure for Taking Positions on Bills
1. Staff will track bills of greatest interest to the District,particularly those that fall within the goals
and objectives identified by the Board of Directors.Staff will monitor bills being watched by
similar agencies in Orange County(OCWD, MWDOC,etc.)as well as State Agencies such as
California Association of Sanitation Agencies(CASA),the California Special Districts Association
(CSDA)and the Association of California Water Agencies(ACWA).
2. For those bills that are being tracked where there is clear policy direction stated in the Board-
adopted Legislative Platform or adopted goals,staff can send letters and give direction to the
lobbyists(while under contract)to advocate that position.
3. Where a particular issue is not urgent,all legislative letters will be hand-signed by the Chair or
Vice-Chair. If a matter is urgent,staff may use the signature stamp,so long as a clear policy
direction exists.
4. A summary of bills being tracked will be presented to the Steering Committee monthly.
5. When a bill does not fall within the scope of the Legislative Platform or is a politically
controversial issue,staff will seek direction from the Steering Committee.
6. If a bill does not fall within the scope of the Legislative Platform, but the California Association of
Sanitary Agencies(CASA),the California Special Districts Association (CSDA)or the National
Association of Clean Water Agencies(NACWA) has an adopted position,staff may follow this
position but must inform the Steering Committee of such action at the next regularly scheduled
meeting.

Orange County Sanitation District
FROM: James D. Ruth, General Manager
Originator: Nick Kanetis, Director of Engineering
CIP Project Manager: Eros Yong
SUBJECT: Trunk Line Odor Control Improvements, Project No. P1-123
GENERAL MANAGER'S RECOMMENDATION
A. Approve a Professional Design Services Agreement with Carollo Engineers, Inc. to
provide engineering design services for Trunk Line Odor Control Improvements,
Project No. P1-123, for an amount not to exceed $856,986; and,
B. Approve a contingency of$85,699 (10%).
SUMMARY
The main goals of this project are twofold: (1) replace existing Scrubbers 9 and 10 at
the Plant No. 1 Headworks facility with two new bio-trickling filters to replace aging
equipment, and connect additional facilities to the foul air system; and (2) eliminate
odors upstream of the three siphons along the Baker-Gisler Interceptor and Santa Ana
Trunk sewers by implementing air jumper improvements to reduce condensate and
water infiltration.
The proposed Professional Design Services Agreement (PDSA) includes the
preparation of a Preliminary Design Report, Final Design which includes the preparation
of construction documents (plans and specifications), and bid support services.
The Orange County Sanitation District (Sanitation District) advertised a Request for
Proposal (RFP) and four proposals were received. Based on the overall qualifications
and expertise, staff recommends awarding a PDSA to Carollo Engineers, Inc. for an
amount not to exceed $856,986.
PRIOR COMMITTEE/BOARD ACTIONS
None.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Project Scope of Work:
This project will provide an engineered solution to replace Scrubbers 9 and 10.
Scrubbers 9 and 10 will be treating additional foul air from Steve Anderson Lift Station
(SALS) and Waste Hauler, thus almost doubling the amount of foul air currently being
Page 1 d4
treated. Since Scrubbers 9 and 10 are used as roughing scrubbers, and their exhaust
is further treated by chemical Scrubbers 1-4, the foul air treated by Scrubbers 1-4 will
also be increased. The Sanitation District has a level of service goal of 14 dilutions to
threshold (D/T) at the Plant No. 1 boundary. To meet this level of service goal,
chemical Scrubbers 1-4 must achieve 300 D/T. This project will evaluate current
available biotower technologies to ensure that Scrubbers 9 and 10 will provide sufficient
treatment of the trunk line foul air such that 300 D/T can be achieved at the outlets of
Scrubbers 1-4.
This project will also address odor problems along the Baker/Gisler Interceptor and
Santa Ana Trunk sewer inverted siphons. The air jumpers intended to convey the foul
air to Plant No. 1 for collection and treatment have been filled with water due to
infiltration and condensation. The foul air becomes trapped on the upstream side of the
channels and escapes from manholes causing odor problems in surrounding
communities. As part of the Scope of Work for this project, the Consultant will develop
and implement an alternative to eliminate these odor problems. One possible alternative
is to repair and/or rehabilitate the three existing air jumpers, including repairing the
cured-in place pipe (CIPP) lining in one of the three jumpers, rehabilitating the other two
air jumpers, rehabilitating the service manholes, and replacing the sump pumps and foul
air fans. Another possible alternative is to provide local passive or forced-air odor
control systems near the air jumpers.
Request for Proposal:
The evaluation and selection process is based on procedures pursuant to the California
Government Code requiring the Sanitation District to select "the best qualified firm" for
architectural and engineering services and to negotiate a "fair and reasonable" fee with
that firm.
An RFP which outlined Consultant's Scope of Work and criteria required for this project
was advertised on October 16 and October 23, 2012 in the Orange County Register.
Furthermore, an email notification was sent to all engineering consultants registered in
the categories of Architecture & Engineering; Design; and Engineering — General, in the
Sanitation District vendor database. As a result, four proposals were received on
November 16, 2012. A Staff Evaluation Committee consisting of five representatives
from Engineering, Odor and Corrosion Control, and Operations and Maintenance
(0&M) Departments reviewed and ranked each of the proposals in accordance with the
evaluation process set forth in the Sanitation District Resolution No. OCSD 07-04,
Section 5.07. A representative from O&M Process Support Department participated as
a technical advisor on odor control subject and was a non-voting member. A
representative from the Contracts Administration Division participated in the evaluation
process as a non-voting member. The proposals were evaluated according to the
following six criteria: (1) understanding of the Scope of Work; (2) technical approach;
(3) management approach; (4) staff qualifications; (5)firm experiences; and
(6) schedule.
After reviewing and scoring the proposals, the four Consultant firms were ranked
according to the score achieved. The Evaluation Committee interviewed the top three
firms: Carollo Engineers, Inc.; CH2MHill; and Dudek, Inc. to meet the proposed key
Page 2 of 4
team members and further evaluate the firms' proposals. Pursuant to the results of the
interview, the Evaluation Committee selected Carollo Engineers, Inc. as the top-ranked
firm as shown in Table 1.

Based on scores after interview
All proposals were accompanied by a sealed fee proposal estimate. The fee proposal
estimates were not opened until the proposals were evaluated and a top-ranked firm
was selected in accordance with Sanitation District Resolution No. OCSD 07-04,
Section 5.07.
Staff conducted negotiations with Carollo Engineers, Inc., to clarify the requirements of
the Scope of Work and to establish the final negotiated fee. During the negotiation
meeting, the project Scope of Work, assumptions, and the design process were
discussed and clarified as required for the completion of the Scope of Work for the
project. Elements reviewed include drawing list, project schedule, number of
meetings/workshops, total labor hours, and labor-hour distribution by task as related to
the work items, subconsultant scope of work and fees, and profit calculations. These
elements were compared to the budgeted amounts, RFP requirements, industry
standards, and Sanitation District historical data and Guidelines.
As a result of these meetings, the proposal fee was decreased to $856,986. Carollo
Engineers, Inc. was selected as the top-ranked firm due to their strong understanding of
project issues, such as the importance of meeting the Sanitation District's level of
service goals for odors, and height and space constraints for Scrubbers 9 and 10. Their
proposal included technical approaches to address these goals and challenges such as
the use of low-profile rectangular scrubbers for easier and safer O&M access, and using
construction sequencing to eliminate temporary odor control system during construction
hence decreasing construction cost. Finally, their proposed team consists of individuals
with experiences in both project elements, including two odor control experts and a
collections system task leader with extensive experience in infrastructure modeling,
Page 3 of 4
design, and construction work. Staff believes that using the approach as proposed by
Carollo Engineers, Inc. will reduce construction cost, potential change orders, delays,
and community impacts during construction.
Based on the above, staff determined the final cost proposal to be fair and reasonable
for the Scope of Work and recommends awarding the Professional Design Services
Agreement to Carollo Engineers, Inc. for an amount not to exceed $856,986.

(collectively the "Indemnified Parties"), from and against any and all claims, damages,
liabilities, causes of action, suits, arbitration awards, losses,judgments, fines, penalties,
costs and expenses (including, without limitation, attorneys' fees, disbursements and
court costs, and all other professional, expert or CONSULTANT'S fees and costs and
the SANITATION DISTRICT'S general and administrative expenses; individually, a
"Claim"; collectively, "Claims')which may arise from or are in any manner related,
directly or indirectly, to any work performed, or any operations, activities, or services
provided by CONSULTANT in carrying out its obligations under this Agreement to the
extent of the negligent, recklessness and/or willful misconduct of CONSULTANT, its
principals, officers, agents, employees, CONSULTANT'S suppliers, CONSULTANT,
subconsultants, subcontractors, and/or anyone employed directly or indirectly by any of
them, regardless of any contributing negligence or strict liability of an Indemnified Party.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall be construed to require
CONSULTANT to indemnify the Indemnified Parties from any Claim arising solely from:
(A)the active negligence or willful misconduct of the Indemnified Parties; or
(B)a natural disaster or other act of God, such as an earthquake; or
(C)the independent action of a third party who is neither one of the Indemnified Parties
nor the CONSULTANT, nor its principal, officer, agent, employee, nor
CONSULTANT'S supplier, CONSULTANT, subconsultant, subcontractor, nor
anyone employed directly or indirectly by any of them.
Exceptions (A)through (B) above shall not apply, and CONSULTANT shall, to the fullest
PDSA PROJECT NO. Pl-123
Revised 11/17/10 Page 15 of 17
Return to Agenda Report
extent permitted by law, indemnify the Indemnified Parties, from Claims arising from
more than one cause if any such cause taken alone would otherwise result in the
obligation to indemnify hereunder.
CONSULTANT'S liability for indemnification hereunder is in addition to any liability
CONSULTANT may have to the SANITATION DISTRICT for a breach by
CONSULTANT of any of the provisions of this Agreement. Under no circumstances
shall the insurance requirements and limits set forth in this Agreement be construed to
limit CONSULTANT'S indemnification obligation or other liability hereunder. The terms
of this Agreement are contractual and the result of negotiation between the parties
hereto. Accordingly, any rule of construction of contracts (including, without limitation,
California Civil Code Section 1654)that ambiguities are to be construed against the
drafting party, shall not be employed in the interpretation of this Agreement.
23. DUTY TO DEFEND. The duty to defend hereunder is wholly independent of and
separate from the duty to indemnify and such duty to defend shall exist regardless of any
ultimate liability of CONSULTANT and shall be consistent with Civil Code section
2782.8. Such defense obligation shall arise immediately upon presentation of a Claim
by any person if, without regard to the merit of the Claim, such Claim could potentially
result in an obligation to indemnify one or more Indemnified Parties, and upon written
notice of such Claim being provided to CONSULTANT. Payment to CONSULTANT by
any Indemnified Party or the payment or advance of defense costs by any Indemnified
Party shall not be a condition precedent to enforcing such Indemnified Party's rights to
indemnification hereunder. In the event a final judgment, arbitration, award, order,
settlement, or other final resolution expressly determines that the claim did not arise out
of, pertain to, or relate to the negligence, recklessness, or willful misconduct of the
CONSULTANT, to any extent, then the DISTRICT will reimburse CONSULTANT for the
reasonable costs of defending the Indemnified Parties against such claims.
CONSULTANT'S indemnification obligation hereunder shall survive the expiration or
earlier termination of this Agreement until such time as action against the Indemnified
Parties for such matter indemnified hereunder is fully and finally barred by the applicable
statute of limitations.
24. ENTIRE AGREEMENT. This Agreement constitutes the entire understanding and
agreement between the Parties and supersedes all previous negotiations between them
pertaining to the subject matter thereof.

SUBJECT: CHANGE ORDER NO. 1 TO P.O. NUMBER 103690-OB, VOYAGER
FLEET SYSTEMS INC. FOR FUEL PURCHASE
GENERAL MANAGER'S RECOMMENDATION
A. Approve Change Order No. 1 to P.O. Number 103690-OB issued to Voyager Fleet
Systems Inc. for the purchase of unleaded/diesel fuel for vehicles and marine vessel
authorizing an additional $80,000 to increase total annual contract amount from
$275,440 to a not to exceed amount of$355,440; and,
B. Approve a contingency of$17,772 (5%); and,
C. Authorize the use of the State of California Department of General Services (DGS)
Statewide Travel Management Program for vehicle fuel requirements, for the period
May 1, 2013 through April 30, 2014, for a total amount not to exceed $332,600, with
four one-year renewal options, in accordance with Resolution No. OCSD 07-04,
Section 3.08: Cooperative Procurement; and,
D. Approve a contingency of$33,260 (10%).
SUMMARY
This contract provides for OCSD's Fuel Card Program which issues every OCSD
vehicle a charge card to purchase unleaded gasoline or diesel fuel from fueling stations.
Using this contract, negotiated by the state of California, we pay a less-than-retail price
per gallon.
This increase to the authorized total contact amount is needed as the cost of both
unleaded gasoline and diesel fuel has increased over the past year beyond staffs
projections. The average monthly program cost is currently $29,000. In addition to the
unit fuel cost increases, we also experienced extra usage of diesel fuel by OCSD's
ocean monitoring vessel the MV Nerissa during the recent five-mile outfall repair
project. The current contract is insufficient and requires the recommended changes.

SUBJECT: REVISED RESOLUTION ON BIOSOLIDS RECYCLING
GENERAL MANAGER'S RECOMMENDATION
Adopt Board Resolution No. OCSD 13-03, revising the Biosolids Recycling Resolution
and repealing Board Resolution No. OCSD 06-10.
SUMMARY
Staff recommends updating OCSD's Biosolids Recycling Resolution to align with
OCSD's 5-Year Strategic Plan adopted on November 2012, and to reflect the current
state and conditions impacting OCSD's biosolids management program.
Since the 2006 update of the OCSD Board Resolution (OCSD 06-10) supporting
biosolids recycling, OCSD has:
• Maintained a diversified biosolids management program.
• Changed its biosolids recycling level of service.
• Maintained and renewed its commitment to land application.
• Terminated the EnerTech long-range contract (energy option)for failure to perform.
• Anticipates a one-third reduction in biosolids produced by 2017 due to solids
facilities' capital improvements (centrifuge technology creating dryer biosolids) and
the Irvine Ranch Water District managing their own biosolids.
The revised policy submitted for the Board's consideration reflects these changes
mentioned above, including historic milestones, and adds commitments to:
• A sustainable biosolids program by maintaining a diversified portfolio of off-site
biosolids management options with multiple biosolids contractors, markets, and
facilities, while maintaining a 100% fail-safe back-up capacity.
• Strive to balance financial, environmental, and societal considerations when making
biosolids decisions.
Page 1 of 2
• Utilize a biosolids management system to maintain a sustainable and publicly-
supported biosolids program.
• Support researching and implementing ways to reduce the volume biosolids
produced at the treatment plants.
• Support continuing to research biosolids benefits and potential safety concerns.
• Continue demonstrating biosolids compost onsite, but removes "encouraging our
member agencies." Our biosolids contractor no longer has a local composting facility
and products and services that match our member agencies' needs, so this program
is no longer feasible.

A RESOLUTION OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF ORANGE
COUNTY SANITATION DISTRICT IN SUPPORT OF BIOSOLIDS
RECYCLING AND REPEALING RESOLUTION NO. OCSD 06-10
WHEREAS, the Orange County Sanitation District ("District") produces
biosolids at its two wastewater treatment plants; and
WHEREAS, biosolids are the solid product of municipal wastewater
processing which have been extensively and properly treated so that they may be
safely recycled to amend soil directly, create composted soil amendments, produce
energy, or other beneficial uses; and
WHEREAS, the District promotes the recycling of biosolids in a manner that
is safe, environmentally beneficial, and is sensitive to the needs of the communities
involved; and
WHEREAS, in 1993 the United States Environmental Protection Agency
(EPA) established rules, which included a thorough health-risk assessment,
regulating the treatment and use of biosolids (40 Code of Federal Regulations Part
503). These Regulations have since protected public health and the environment by
ensuring the safe and beneficial recycling of biosolids when managed in accordance
with the rules; and
WHEREAS, decades of use, research, and regulatory review and oversight
have demonstrated the benefits and safety of biosolids; and
WHEREAS, the direct application of high-quality biosolids as a soil
amendment is sustainable, safe, provides beneficial nutrients to the soil, sequesters
significant amounts of carbon for a net carbon reduction, and is an environmentally-
friendly alternative to — and reduces the need for — fossil-fuel intensive fertilizers,
pesticides, and herbicides; and
WHEREAS, the production of compost for agricultural, commercial, and
residential markets is sustainable, safe, provides beneficial nutrients to the soil, is a
local source of recycled nutrients, and is an environmentally-friendly alternative to —
and reduces the need for—fossil-fuel intensive fertilizers, pesticides, and herbicides;
and
WHEREAS, the production of energy and other alternative products from
biosolids can be sustainable, safe, and an environmentally-friendly option for utilizing
the District's biosolids and ensuring continued diversity of the District's biosolids
management options for sustainability; and
WHEREAS, it is the law of the State of California that municipalities divert
recyclable materials from disposal in landfills and may be required to divert even
more in the future. The District also recognizes that limited (up to 100 tons per day)
use of local landfills can provide benefits including enhancing methane gas recovery
Page 1 of 4
Return to Agenda Report
at the landfill, providing an in-county biosolids management option, increasing the
diversity of the District's biosolids management options, and adding another low-cost
option during the District's peak biosolids production period (until 2017), thereby
increasing the District's biosolids program sustainability; and
WHEREAS, in order to promote a standard of excellence, the District
maintains a Biosolids Management System and adheres to the principles of the
National Biosolids Partnership's Code of Good Practice and best management
practices of the California Water Environment Association's (CW EA) Manual of Good
Practice for Agricultural Land Application of Biosolids; and
WHEREAS, in order to maintain the highest-quality biosolids for beneficial
use, the District maintains a comprehensive and award-winning Source Control
program that includes permits, and in some cases onsite treatment, for categorized
industries, along with best management practices and outreach programs for non-
industrial discharges to prevent pollutants entering the District's plants.
WHEREAS, reducing the volume of biosolids produced onsite, reduces
impacts associated with managing biosolids offsite such as traffic and truck
emissions; and
WHEREAS, the District supports ongoing research regarding emerging
biosolids-related questions including studies performed by the EPA, Water
Environment Research Foundation, and the National Science Foundation to ensure
the continued safety of biosolids recycling practices; and
WHEREAS, by 2003 most agriculturally-based counties in south and central
California placed restrictive ordinances or bans on farming with biosolids; therefore
highlighting the criticality for strong biosolids management practices including a
biosolids management system and proactive education and outreach; and
WHEREAS, the 2003-2004 Orange County Grand Jury issued findings related
to public concerns regarding farming with biosolids and recommended the District's
continued participation in national surveys, research on emerging concerns, and
incident trackers in order to demonstrate the District's ongoing commitment to
protecting public health and address nuisances; and
WHEREAS, the District commissioned a Long-Range Biosolids Management
Plan that was completed in 2003 and included recommendations with the goal of a
long-term sustainable biosolids program. The Plan recommended diversity and fail-
safe back-ups as ways to prevent biosolids market failures and thereby maintain
reliability, minimize costs, and reduce risks to the District.
The Plan also valued using local (in-county) options to reduce environmental
impacts associated with hauling greater distances, create a closed-loop system
(solids generated, treated, and used in the same county — including costs and
revenues), and accept social responsibility for our biosolids use to increase
community acceptance at out-of-county biosolids facilities.
The District continues to implement the recommendations of the Plan including
maintaining a diverse program of biosolids management (multiple biosolids
Page 2 of 4

Orange County Sanitation District
FROM: James D. Ruth, General Manager
Originator: Nick Kanetis, Director of Engineering
SUBJECT: TRICKLING FILTER PUMP REPAIRS AT PLANT NO. 2
GENERAL MANAGER'S RECOMMENDATION
A. Approve a sole source agreement with J.F. Shea Construction, Inc. for an amount
not to exceed $430,000 for the repair of trickling filter pumps at Plant No. 2; and,
B. Approve a contingency of$43,000 (10%).
SUMMARY
The trickling filter facility at Plant No. 2 was part of the secondary treatment expansion
program and added 60 million gallons a day of secondary treatment to Plant No. 2. The
original construction cost was $179,676,980 and the Contractor was J.F. Shea
Construction, Inc. The project was completed in August 2011 with a final construction
cost of $180,769,811, which equates to 0.61% change orders. The project returned
$3,032,000 in unused budget.
After the facility had been in operation six months, failures of the seal water system on
one of the pumps was discovered. At that time, staff considered the failure a
construction warranty item and directed the Contractor to perform the repair. While the
Contractor was making repairs to fix the pump, staff noticed that the remaining five
pumps were beginning to show signs of similar seal water issues. Staff notified the
Contractor that repairs to the remaining five pumps would be likely as well.
During the repair of the pumps, it was determined by the Contractor and manufacturer
that the quality of water in the seal water system did not meet the manufacturer's
requirements and was likely the cause of failure. Staff, along with the Design
Consultant and a specialty corrosion consultant, investigated the cause of the seal
water failure. The cause was determined to be excessive corrosion within the internal
portions of the pumps caused by the feed water chosen for the seal water system. The
choice of feed water was staff's decision during the commissioning phase. Staff had
selected the most cost-effective feed water, unaware of the negative consequences to
the seal water system.
Keeping this facility operational is critical to meeting the permit requirements for
secondary standards. As the repairs are no longer considered a warranty item, staff
must obtain immediate construction services to complete the repairs. J.F. Shea
Construction, Inc. is in the best position as the original equipment installer to continue to
Page 1 of 3
repair the remaining pumps in an expedited manner to keep the facility operational and
meet permit requirements. Staff is requesting a sole source contract be issued to J. F.
Shea Construction, Inc. for the cost to date on the repairs, as well as the cost to
complete the repairs.
Risk Management shall explore any opportunities to recover money under the
Sanitation District's Equipment Breakdown Insurance.
PRIOR COMMITTEE/BOARD ACTIONS
N/A
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
The trickling filter pump station includes six pumps that feed primary effluent to the
trickling filters. Each pump houses a 300 horsepower motor and is able to pump 36
million gallons a day. The pumps are a critical component to the facility and pump
operability is required to comply with the EPA Consent Decree for secondary standards.
The design incorporated two sources of feed water for the seal water system, reclaimed
water and plant water. Reclaimed water is highly treated wastewater effluent and is
purchased from other agencies. Plant water is chlorinated secondary effluent and a no
cost water source. This facility was designed to make use of reclaimed water with a
plant water back up. During commissioning of the facility, however, staff chose to use
plant water as the primary feed source in an effort to save money, unaware of the
negative consequences to the seal water system.
J.F. Shea has spent $196,953 to date on the repairs. They estimate an additional
$233,047 to complete the repairs.

SUBJECT: SLUDGE DIGESTER REHABILITATION AT PLANT NO. 1,
PROJECT NO. P1-100
GENERAL MANAGER'S RECOMMENDATION
Approve a contingency increase of $1,340,000 (4%) to the construction contract with
JR Filanc Construction Company for Sludge Digester Rehabilitation at Plant No.1,
Project No. P1-100, for a total contingency of$4,020,000 (12%).
SUMMARY
This project provides for the rehabilitation of Digester Nos. 5-16 at Plant No. 1 for the
replacement of aging equipment and improvement of solids handling capacity.
Structural rehabilitation work includes replacement or repair of existing liners to
concrete domes and repair of concrete reinforcement/cracks to digester walls and
domes. Equipment rehabilitation includes sludge pumping, heating, structural supports,
mechanical systems, and electrical and control systems.
The project was awarded on February 24, 2010. Notice to Proceed was issued to the
Contractor on March 30, 2010.
There have been significant additional costs incurred on this project due to unknown
conditions of the concrete walls and domes inside Digesters 7 and 8.
The current project contingency is $2,680,000 (8%). The project has incurred roughly
$2,400,000 of additional costs that corresponds to 89% of the approved contingency.
The project is 50% complete and in order to be able to cover any further unexpected
field conditions or interferences, staff has determined that the contingency budget of 8%
is inadequate and requests an additional contingency of $1,340,000 (4%) for a total
project contingency of$4,020,000 (12%).
No increase to the project budget is being requested as the current project budget is
sufficient to cover the requested additional change order contingency.

PRIOR COMMITTEE/BOARD ACTIONS
February 2010 — Awarded a construction contract to JR Filanc Construction Company
for Sludge Digester Rehabilitation at Plant No.1, Project No. 131-100, for an amount not
to exceed $33,500,000 and approve a contingency of$2,680,000 (8%).
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
P1-100 project includes rehabilitation of 12 digesters (Digesters 5-16) at Plant No. 1.
These digesters were built between the years of 1959 and 1993 as shown in the table
below.
Digester Year Built

7 1964

12 1993
13 1993

15 1993
16 1993
Rehabilitation work on the first pair of digesters (Digesters 7 and 8) started in April
2010. Due to the poor condition of the existing concrete, additional work was required
to remove the existing liners, fix concrete cracks, and prepare the concrete surface for a
new polyurethane coating.
Staff expects Digesters 5, 6, 9, and 10 to have similar issues and will involve extra
efforts to complete the rehabilitation work. However, Digesters 11-16 were built in the
early 1990s and are expected to be in a better condition than the older digesters.
Based on the lessons learned from Digesters 7 and 8, staff will:
1. Prior to starting work at any digester, obtain concrete samples and come up with
a protocol to complete concrete rehabilitation work.
2. Perform change order work only for safety issues, operational issues, and critical
structural issues. Based on the Design Consultant's recommendations, the
Sanitation District may elect to defer long-term structural rehabilitation to a future
project where replacement of the digester roofs may have a more favorable life-
cycle cost.
Page 2 of 3
Staff cannot determine the exact condition of the remaining digesters at this time
because concrete core samples cannot be obtained while the digesters are in operation.
In order to obtain concrete core samples, digesters have to be shut down, sludge inside
the digester has to be removed, and gases released.

Project Manager: Jim Colston, Environmental Compliance Manager
SUBJECT: RE-ESTABLISH BIOSOLIDS ACCOUNT POOL
GENERAL MANAGER'S RECOMMENDATION
A. Authorize staff to re-establish a Biosolids Account Pool utilizing a Blanket Purchase
Order for the efficient management of all biosolids contracts (Tule Ranch, Synagro
West, Inc., and Orange County Waste and Recycling) in one account to provide
flexibility for unanticipated circumstances that may impact biosolids management,
which may include events such as truck/driver shortages, poor weather conditions,
regulatory constraints, unacceptable contractor performance, or contractor facility
limitations; and
B. Approve Blanket Purchase Order No. 104696-OB for an annual amount not to
exceed $19,000,000 for biosolids management with Orange County Waste and
Recycling, Tule Ranch, and Synagro West, Inc., which will replace Blanket
Purchase Order No. 100760-OB; and
C. Authorize staff to move funds within the Biosolids Account Pool from one contract to
another, as deemed necessary, due to unanticipated circumstances.
SUMMARY
Staff is recommending that funds, which have been separately approved and allocated
by the Board for Tule Ranch, Synagro West, Inc., and Orange County Waste and
Recycling, be placed into one Blanket Purchase Order (also known as the "Biosolids
Account Pool"). This will allow staff to move funds from one contract to another to
effectively manage biosolids during unanticipated circumstances such as truck/driver
shortages, poor weather conditions, regulatory constraints, unacceptable contractor
performance, or contractor facility limitations.
By placing the funds into the Biosolids Account Pool (BAP), staff can more effectively
manage the Orange County Sanitation District's (OCSD) biosolids and avoid contract
change orders.
There is no additional cost associated with re-establishing the BAP under the
established Tula Ranch Blanket Purchase Order. All costs will stay within the
boundaries of the combined BAP limit, as well as the budget (whichever is lower). The
BAP will contain $19,000,000, which covers the combined annual biosolids
management costs for Tule Ranch, Synagro West Inc., and Orange County Waste and
Page 1 of 3
905807.1
Recycling. Staff will continue to be transparent and keep the Board informed of all
issues and significant changes related to the management of biosolids, including
if/when an individual contract limit within the pool is expected to be exceeded or has
been exceeded.
PRIOR COMMITTEE/BOARD ACTIONS
March 2000 - Authorized staff to: (1) reallocate funds for the biosolids management
contracts with Pima Gro (Presently Synagro West, Inc.), Bio Gro, Tule Ranch, and the
Yakima Company, into one account; and (2) move funds from one contract to another,
as deemed necessary, due to unanticipated changes in climate, regulations, and
contractor performance.
November 2012 - Approved the Waste Disposal Agreement with the County of Orange
(Orange County Waste and Recycling) in a total annual amount not to exceed
$3,605,288.
November 2012 - Approved Amendment No. 9 to Synagro West, Inc. Purchase Order
No. 100760-OB, increasing the annual contract amount from $6,580,000 to $8,600,000
for the period of January 1, 2012 through December 31, 2012. Thereafter, the annual
contract not-to-exceed amount will be $6,580,000.
On August 2012 - Approved a contract with Tule Ranch in a total annual amount not to
exceed $19,000,000.

In March 2000, the Board approved the original BAP (Purchase Order # 100760-OB),
which remained viable until recently. This BAP was an important tool for OCSD staff to
efficiently manage the multiple biosolids contractors, to optimize the budget, and to
reallocate loads to other biosolids contractors when needed. For example, in 2003
when Yakima was not conforming to La Paz County requirements, OCSD immediately
pulled loads and reallocated loads to the other existing contractors, thereby limiting
OCSD's potential risk exposure. Because the funds were pooled, staff did not have to
delay transferring loads pending the amendment of the other contracts to permit the
reallocation.
Since the approval of the original BAP, OCSD experienced several major changes to its
biosolids management program that left only Synagro in the original BAP:
• A new contract was awarded to Tule Ranch to manage a portion of OCSD's
biosolids for land application (Purchase Order# 104696-OB);
• The EnerTech contract was terminated for failure to perform. Biosolids formerly
managed by EnerTech are being sent to OCSD's other biosolids contractors,
Synagro West, Inc. and Tule Ranch;
Page 2 d 3
%5807.1
• Previous contracts had already expired (e.g., Yakima and California Soil Products);
• Synagro was allocated additional loads when EnerTech was terminated. Because
their contract limit is based on 2006 pricing, there were insufficient funds to cover the
cost of the additional EnerTech loads. Tule Ranch has a new contract with updated
pricing based on our 100%fail-safe value and does not have this issue; and
• A Waste Disposal Agreement with Orange County Waste and Recycling was
approved by the Board to utilize the Prima Deshecha Landfill for biosolids disposal.
These changes in OCSD's biosolids allocations between the biosolids management
contractors prompted staff to recommend re-establishing the BAP to ensure continued
flexibility, diversity, and sustainability of our biosolids management.

SUMMARY
At the December 2012 Operations and Administration Committee meetings and the
December 2012 Board meeting, staff presented a proposed financing plan in support of
the Sanitation District's operations. The financing plan addressed the Sanitation
District's operating and capital programs for the period covering FY 2013-14 through FY
2020-21. On December 19, 2012, the Board gave direction to staff to issue proposed
rate adjustment notices to effected rate payers in compliance with Proposition 218
requirements.
At the January 2013 Board meeting, staff presented the Wastewater Revenue and
Rate Study prepared by Carollo Engineering, which independently found that staffs
recommendation to increase the regional sewer service charges were reasonable
based on an evaluation of the District's revenue needs, projected reserve balances and
user rate structure.
910766.1
The net effect of adopting this financing plan and subsequent five-year rate ordinance
will be to increase annually the single family residential rate (SFR), the basis for all
regional sewer service charges, 4.8 percent effective on July 1, 2013, followed by
annual increases of 2.4% for the next four years. The proposed increase provides for
equitable and proportionate distribution for the cost of service of operating the
Sanitation District's wastewater system.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
The Board of Directors last adopted a five-year rate plan in 2008 to support its $2.0
billion capital improvement and rehabilitation, refurbishment and replacement program
and operational activities. During this period, annual rate increases of ten percent
(10%)were required to support larger construction efforts, specifically for the completion
of Full Secondary and Groundwater Replenishment System (GWRS) projects.
The Sanitation District expects to continue and/or improve its level of service and meet
demands on its wastewater system through its Capital Improvement Program (CIP),
which has been developed to satisfy anticipated regulatory requirements, increased
population, additional treatment requirements, odor control improvements, air-quality
protection needs, conservation, energy and other resource-savings considerations.
Now that the larger construction projects related to the Sanitation District's
implementation of full secondary treatment are complete, the Sanitation District will
change its focus to rehabilitation and refurbishment efforts, the general maintenance of
assets and ongoing operations. Future CIP projects are focused on (i) major
rehabilitation of the existing headworks, primary-treatment, outfall, and solids handling
facilities; (d) rehabilitation and replacement of many of the Sanitation District's outlying
pump stations and trunk sewers; and (ii)fund cooperative projects to help cities upgrade
their sewer systems. The cost adjustments associated with these efforts are primarily
inflationary in nature. As a result, increases at the 10 percent level are no longer
required, only increases that align with inflation.
The CIP projected costs totals approximately 1.63 billion in 2012 dollars between Fiscal
Year 2013/2014 and FY 2020/2021. Of this total, approximately $1.44 billion will be
undertaken for the rehabilitation and refurbishment efforts identified above, while $0.19
billion will be undertaken to provide capacity for projected growth.
Page 2 of 5
Based on an analysis of the cost-of-service for existing users and an allocation of the
costs of the Sanitation District's sewer services to each class or customer in proportion
to the demands they place on the system, staff is recommending rate adjustments
based on the projected inflationary costs of 4.8 percent effective July 1, 2013, followed
by annual increases of 2.4 percent for the next four years, where increases to the SFR
rate will be approximately$8 per year.
Sewer service charges are the primary revenue source of the Sanitation District, and
such charges have been adjusted in previous years to generate sufficient cash flow for
additional capital improvements and debt-service obligations. The revenues derived
from the rate schedule proposed herein will be used to cover the cost of providing and
maintaining regional sewer service to existing properties, and the rate schedule
represents a balanced approach that implements a strategy of no additional debt
issuances, prudent reduction of reserves and achieving various operational efficiencies
of more than $15 million per year through the CIP. The revenues derived from the
regional sewer service fees proposed herein do not exceed the funds required to
provide sewer services to existing properties using the Sanitation District's wastewater
system, and the amount of the charge based upon the type of use of each parcel does
not exceed the proportional cost of the service attributable to the parcel.
In addition to sewer service charges, and other proposed user rate adjustments,
existing reserves will be reduced and other cost saving measures will be implemented.
Without the use of existing reserves and other cost saving measures, additional rate
increases beyond what is proposed would have been required.
The proposed rate adjustment will generate approximately $150 million in revenue over
the next five years. Without a Board action (by 2/3 majority) to approve the proposed
rate increase, the Board will need to adopt an ordinance extending the Single Family
Residential (SFR) rate at the current rate of$294 per year. If the rates are not adjusted
to cover inflationary increases and maintenance costs, cuts to projects and programs
resulting in service level reduction may be required. Therefore, the proposed cost
adjustments are calculated to align with inflation and do not exceed the cost of providing
sewerage services.
Additionally, most of the Sanitation District's revenues are user fees listed on and
collected through the County property tax bill as provided in the Sanitation District's
ordinance. As the Sanitation District receives payments through eight apportionments
from December through June, the Sanitation District holds funds in reserve specifically
to pay operating and capital expenses during the "dry' period (July-November).
Reducing reserve levels to the minimum level would leave no funds to address payment
of expenditures during the "dry' period.
It is estimated that without the proposed five-year rate adjustments proposed by staff,
13 percent annual increases for the following four years would be required for reserve
levels to be in compliance with the Board-approved policy and to ensure that the
Sanitation District can maintain its level of service and meet its obligations.
Page 3 of 5
Alternatives Using Reserves
By policy, operational need and legal requirement, the Sanitation District maintains a
specified level of reserves. Staff believes that, while the reduction in reserves is
warranted at this time, substantial reductions could result in reserve levels below that
required by Sanitation District Reserve Policy, which will require Board action to revise
it, and could result in cuts to projects and programs as well as service level reduction.
To address the consideration of using those reserves to avoid any rate adjustment, staff
has identified different alternatives that use OSCD reserves:
1) Proposed Rate Adjustment Schedule
This proposed schedule includes a 4.8% rate increase effective July 1, 2013,
followed by four annual increases of 2.4%. Rates would increase by $14 in the first
year and $8 each of the next four years. This schedule has been presented to the
Committees and the Board. Under this plan, the Capital Improvement Program
(CIP) is funded at its current recommended levels and service levels are maintained.
Reserves will be reduced from $600 million to $495 million at the end of the five
years.
1a) Equal Annual Five-Year Rate Adjustment
This alternative rate schedule involves annual rate increases of 2.4% for each of
the five years, effective July 1, 2013. Under this plan, the Capital Improvement
Program (CIP) is funded at its current recommended levels and service levels are
maintained. However, reserves are reduced from $600 million to $455 million at
the end of the five years, dropping to a level that has been reached only twice
since 2000, which may, in turn, affect service levels in the long run. This reserve
amount would also be below the figure determined by the Sanitation District's
current Reserve Policy. The Board would need to take action to change the policy.
After the proposed five years, annual 4.5% rate increases would be required for
the next four years to return reserves to the approved-policy levels and to ensure
continuity in the level of service and the Sanitation District's AAA bond rating.
2a) No Rate Increases during the Five Year Period —Subsequent Rate Adjustment
If no rate increase is adopted, and the Board elects to extend the existing rate for
the next five years, the Sanitation District will reach the reserve level required by
bond covenants and other requirements at the end of the five-year period, which is
below the Reserve Policy. By the end of the third year, reserves would drop below
the Reserve Policy to pre-2000 levels. By the end of the fifth year, annual 6% rate
increases would be required for the next four years just to maintain mandatory
minimum reserve levels required by bond covenants and other requirements.
OCSD would effectively have zero operational reserves. There would be no funds
for the "dry" period between apportionments from the County and no funds for a
"Catastrophic Loss". Annual 13% rate increases would be required for the next
four years to return reserves to the approved Reserve Policy levels and to ensure
continuity in the level of service and the Sanitation District's AAA bond rating.
Page 4 of 5
2b) No Rate Increase during the Five Year Period —Service Level Reduction
If no rate increase is adopted, and the Board elects to extend the existing rate for
the next five years, to delay the reserve level dropping below the level required by
bond covenants and other requirements, the Sanitation District would have to cut
$100 million in projects out of the Capital Improvement Program and increase rates
by 2.5% for four years after the initial five-year rate program. However, this
increase would only maintain the reserve level required by bond covenants and
other requirements, which is below the Reserve Policy. OCSD would effectively
have zero operational reserves. There would be no funds for the "dry' period
between apportionments from the County and no funds for a "Catastrophic Loss".
Annual 9.5% rate increases would be required for the next four years to return
reserves to the approved Reserve Policy levels and to maintain the Sanitation
District's AAA bond rating.
Based on the review of the above-stated options, staff recommends the proposed rate
adjustment schedule under Option 1 to ensure that the Sanitation District (i) continues
to provide sewer services to existing properties at the same or improved level; (ii)
maintains sufficient reserves consistent with the Reserve Policy; and (iii) avoids more
drastic increases in the future. Alternatives 1a, 2a and 21b are not recommended. Each
of these other alternatives would result in reserve levels dropping below the level
designated in the Board-approved Reserve Policy and could cause impacts to
operations and services. More important, the delay in adopting the proposed gradual
increases that align with inflation will result in large future rate increases, and also, there
would be insufficient funds to address catastrophic loss, "dry' revenue periods, or other
unanticipated expenses. These low reserve levels would also likely result in a reduction
of the Sanitation District's AAA bond rating and a reduction in interest earnings.

AN ORDINANCE OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF ORANGE
COUNTY SANITATION DISTRICT AMENDING AND RESTATING
ORDINANCE NO. OCSD-35 CONCERNING SANITARY SEWER
SERVICE CHARGES AND REPEALING ORDINANCE NO. OCSD-35.
ADOPTING REVISED TABLE A RE RESIDENTIAL USER FEES AND
REVISED TABLE B PROPERTY USE CLASSIFICATIONS
WHEREAS, The former County Sanitation Districts Nos. 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 7,
11, 13 and 14 of Orange County, California (the "Predecessor Districts"), were
nine individual County Sanitation Districts, organized pursuant to the County
Sanitation District Act (California Health & Safety Code Section 4700 et seq.). By
action of the Board of Directors of the Predecessor Districts, pursuant to specific
legislation enacted by the California State Legislature in 1996, an application was
submitted to the Orange County Local Agency Formation Commission to legally
consolidate the nine Predecessor Districts into one single Sanitation District for
all purposes. The application was approved, with an effective date of July 1,
1998; and
WHEREAS, As of July 1, 1998, the Predecessor Districts ceased to exist,
and one single consolidated County Sanitation District, known as the Orange
County Sanitation District ("District"), came into existence in place of the
Predecessor Districts. The District was formed to carry on the functions of the
Predecessor Districts; and
WHEREAS, The District, as part of its maintenance and updating of its
Master Plan, undertook a comprehensive evaluation and study of its operational
and financial needs for the next 20 years, including: a detailed assessment of all
types and categories of users; the demands on the system and capacity needs of
the system to provide necessary service to the multiple categories of users; the
total costs of the existing and future facilities in the system; and alternate
methodologies for establishing fair and equitable charges to connect to and gain
access to the system. These comprehensive planning, engineering, and financial
studies led to the development of an updated Comprehensive 20-year Master
Plan of Capital Facilities, entitled "1999 Strategic Plan" ("Master Plan").
WHEREAS, The Master Plan, setting forth and identifying the required
future development of District Facilities, including financial projections for
providing sewer service to all properties within the District's service area, was
approved and adopted by the Board of Directors on October 27, 1999 by OCSD
Resolution No. 99-21, with updates adopted in 2002 and 2006, following a
noticed public hearing, and in compliance with the provisions of the California
Constitution and all other applicable laws; and
WHEREAS, The Board of Directors approved the Capital Improvement
Program ("CIP") Validation Study for Fiscal year 2003-04 and the Secondary
Treatment Peer Review, which resulted in the development of a Capital
Improvement Program that provides for the implementation of secondary

treatment standards, thereby improving effluent quality in a reasonably short
period of time, consistent with the goals and policies of the Board of Directors,
the member agencies, and the public, while also providing for the construction of
necessary improvements to accommodate projected increased flows and the
rehabilitation and refurbishment of existing facilities; and
WHEREAS, pursuant to Health and Safety Code section 5471, the Board
of Directors is authorized to prescribe, revise and collect fees, tolls, rates, rentals
or other charges for services and facilities furnished by the District in connection
with its sewerage system; and
WHEREAS, on February 27, 2008, the Board of Directors of the District
adopted Ordinance No. OCSD-35, establishing annual Sanitary Sewer Service
Charges; and
WHEREAS, on January 23, 2013, the Board of Directors was presented
with and has reviewed the District's Wastewater Revenue and Rate Study dated
January 2013 prepared by Carollo Engineers, on file with the District, which
independently found that the proposed increases in the regional sewer service
charges were reasonable based on an evaluation of the District's revenue needs,
projected reserve balances and user rate structure; and
WHEREAS, for purposes of ensuring that the District has sufficient
revenues and reserves to meet the District's obligations and operations, it is the
intent, by the adoption of this Ordinance, to establish annual regional sewer
service charges; and
WHEREAS, Section 21080(b)(8) of the Public Resources Code states that
"the establishment, modification, structuring, or approval of rates, tolls, fares, or
other charges by public agencies which the public agency finds are for the
purpose of (A) meeting operating expenses, including employee wage rates and
fringe benefits, (B) purchasing or leasing supplies, equipment, or materials, (C)
meeting financial reserve needs and requirements, (D) obtaining funds for capital
projects necessary to maintain service within existing service areas, or (E)
obtaining funds necessary to maintain those intracity transfers as are authorized
by city charter' is not subject to CEQA; and
WHEREAS, Section 15273(a) of the California Code of Regulations states
that "CEQA does not apply to the establishment, modification, structuring,
restructuring, or approval of rates, tolls, fares, or other charges by public
agencies which the public agency finds are for the purpose of: (1) Meeting
operating expenses, including employee wage rates and fringe benefits, (2)
Purchasing or leasing supplies equipment, or materials, (3) Meeting financial
reserve needs and requirements, (4) Obtaining funds for capital projects,
necessary to maintain service within existing service areas, or (5) Obtaining

FINDINGS
Section 1.01. Findings. Based upon substantial evidence
presented to the Board of Directors, the Board of Directors of District hereby
adopts the following Findings supporting the amounts of charges and fees
adopted pursuant to this Ordinance. The Board of Directors hereby finds:
A. That the regional sewer service charges and the annual
adjustments to the regional sewer service charges (collectively referred hereafter
as the "Sewer Service Charges") as established herein is appropriate and
ensures adequate revenues to finance the improvements and programs
necessary to implement secondary treatment standards, accommodate
increased flows, rehabilitate and refurbish existing facilities, and retire any
necessary or prudent debt incurred to finance such improvements in a
reasonable manner and over a reasonable period of time.
B. That the revenues derived under the provisions of this
Ordinance will be used for the acquisition, construction, reconstruction,
maintenance, and operation of the sewage collection, wastewater treatment and
disposal facilities of the District, together with costs of administration and
provisions for necessary reserves.
C. That the financial requirements of the District, as shown in
reports prepared by Staff and Consultants relating to the Master Plan and the
Capital Improvement Plan, are based on current, reliable information, and further,
that data relating to population projections, wastewater flow, and capital facilities'
needs are expected to be realized in each year as described in the reports.
D. That the owners or occupants of properties, upon which all
fees and charges established by this Ordinance are levied, discharge wastewater
WSBS-BRH:pj:201660:04/20/05 4
OCSD.ADB 4/2W07
910662.1
Return to Agenda Report
to the District's collection, treatment and disposal facilities. The costs of
operating and maintaining said facilities have constantly increased due in part to
increased regulatory requirements to upgrade the treatment process.
E. That the need for upgraded and improved treatment of all
wastewater collection, treatment and disposal facilities is required to protect the
public health and safety, and to preserve the environment without damage.
F. That the Sewer Service Charges established by this
Ordinance are reasonably related to, and do not exceed the cost of providing
sewer services, and shall herein be levied on each parcel to allow the District to
recover the reasonable costs to provide a service to individual properties which
have been improved for different types of uses.
G. That the basis for the respective charge is not based on
potential or future use, but rather, is based upon the request of the owner of
property or a structure thereon, for the benefit of him/her/itself, or the occupants
of the property, to receive a service for actual use, consumption, and disposal of
water to the District's system in lieu of disposal by other means.
H. That the revenues derived from the Sewer Service Charges
shall not be used for any purpose other than that for which the charge is
imposed.
I. That the Sewer Service Charges established by this
Ordinance are not imposed as a condition of approval of a development project,
as defined in California Government Code Section 66001, and do not exceed the
proportional cost to provide the sewer service for which the fee is levied, as
provided in Government Code Sections 66013 and 66016 and California
Constitution Article XIIID.
J. That the Sewer Service Charges adopted herein are
established upon a reasonable basis between the fees charged each customer
and the service and facilities provided to each customer of the District, a portion
of which are necessary to replace the loss of ad valorem property taxes to the
State General Fund as a result of state legislative action on September 2, 1992,
and in subsequent years.
K. That the Sewer Service Charges adopted herein will not
result in an expansion of facilities to provide for growth within outside the existing
service area. The adoption of these Sewer Service Charges will not result in any
specific project, nor result in a direct physical change in the environment.
L. That the Board of Directors is adopting the Sewer Service
Charges herein to (i) meet operating expenses, (ii) purchase or lease supplies,
equipment, or materials, (iii) meet financial reserve needs and requirements, and
(iv) obtain funds for capital projects necessary to maintain service within existing
service areas. Therefore, the Board finds and determines, based upon
substantial evidence, that the establishment of the Sewer Service Charges are
statutorily exempt from CEQA, pursuant to Section 21080(b)(8) of the Public
Resources Code and Section 15273(a) of the California Code of Regulations.

M. That all fees and charges established herein have been
approved by the District's Board of Directors at a noticed public meeting, all in
accordance with applicable provisions of law.
ARTICLE II
SEWER SERVICE CHARGES
Section 2.01. Purpose and Scope. The purpose of this Ordinance
is to establish Sewer Service Charges required to be paid by property owners for
the services and facilities furnished by the District in connection with its sanitation
treatment works and sewage collection system. Revenues derived under the
provisions of this Ordinance shall be used for (1) the acquisition, construction,
reconstruction, maintenance, and operation of the wastewater collection,
treatment and disposal facilities of the District, (ii) to repay principal and interest
on debt instruments, or (iii) to repay federal and state loans issued for the
construction and reconstruction of said sewerage facilities, together with costs of
administration and provisions for necessary reserves.
Section 2.02. Annual Sewer Service Charge.
Commencing with the effective date of this Ordinance, the owner of each parcel
of real property located within the District which is improved with structures
designed for residential, commercial, or industrial use and which, at the request
of the owner or the owner's predecessor-in-interest, is connected to the District's
sewerage system, shall pay an annual Sewer Service Charge based on the
respective class of users, in the sum or sums, as set forth in Tables A and B of
this Ordinance, below, and incorporated by reference herein. The annual Sewer
Service Charges for residential users are set forth in Table A. The applicable
single family residential rate shown in Table A is multiplied by the applicable
percentage figure shown on Table B with respect to the particular use
classification to arrive at the annual Sewer Service Charge rate per 1,000 square
feet or per unit. The annual Sewer Service Charges are dependent upon the
respective classifications of property use, determined by reference to Table B.
Section 2.03. A. Exemptions. It is the intent of the District that
the legal owner(s) of parcels of real property, otherwise subject to the levy and
payment of the Sewer Service Charges, as prescribed herein, be relieved, in
whole or in part, from the payment of said charges, in certain circumstances and
under conditions prescribed herein, and be entitled to either a rebate or a refund
with respect to charges paid, as more specifically set forth in Subparagraphs
2.03E and 2.03C below, provided an inequity is established or a billing error is
proven, as specified in Subparagraphs 2.03E or 2.03C.
B. Application for Rebate. Any property owner, or
legally recognized authorized representative of the property owner, may apply to
the District for a rebate of Sewer Service Charges paid to the District by
establishing that an unfair valuation of the property has been made by the
District. An applicant for a rebate must establish, by proof satisfactory to the
General Manager of the District, or his/her designee, that an inequity exists

Return to Agenda Report
between the amount of the charge paid and the amount of wastewater
discharged to the District's system, resulting in an unfair valuation. Satisfactory
proof shall establish that either:
(1) The principal water use is agricultural or
horticultural; or
(2) The property is devoted to any other use
wherein the amount of wastewater discharged to the District's system is
significantly less on a regular basis than the amount that would normally be
expected to be discharged by the class of property in question.
Satisfactory proof shall include, but not be limited to, documentation
showing actual water usage for each billing cycle during the entire period for
which the rebate is sought.
The amount of any rebate shall not reduce the charge payable by any
property owner, whose property is connected to the District's system, to less than
the single family residential charge shown on the applicable Table attached
hereto.
C. AmAcation for Refund. Any property owner (as used
herein, includes any person who paid the sewer service charges), or legally
recognized authorized representative of the property owner, may apply to the
District for a refund of Sewer Service Charges paid to the District by establishing
that the amount paid was pursuant to an error in the amount billed or the amount
paid. The applicant for a refund must submit proof satisfactory to the General
Manager of the District, or his/her designee, that a billing error has been made by
the District, or the County Tax Collector. Such proof shall include, but not be
limited to, proof that:
(1) The owner's parcel of property is not
connected to the District's system; or
(2) The property has not been classified in the
proper property use classification code; or
(3) A clerical error has been made.
D. Limitations Period. Applications for refunds shall be
deemed to be governed by the provisions of California Revenue & Taxation Code
Sections 5096 and 5097. Applications for rebates shall be deemed a claim and
be governed by the provisions of California Government Code Sections 935 at
seq., and shall be presented to the District as provided in the Government Tort
Claims Act, Government Code Sections 915 at seq., not later than four (4) years
after the submission of the roll to the County Auditor/Controller, and the claim for
rebate may only be made with respect to amounts paid or payable under such
property tax bill. A claim for rebate is not deemed a claim for refund, and
California Revenue & Taxation Code Sections 5096 and 5097 are not applicable.

E. Determination. All applications for rebates or refunds
of the Sewer Service Charge will be determined by the General Manager of the
District, or his/her designee, who, based on the submitted proof, may grant a full
or partial rebate or refund.
F. Administrative Fee. At the time of filing the
application for rebate or refund, the property owner shall pay District an
administrative fee for the processing of such application. The amount of the fee
shall be equal to the total of all fees and charges imposed on the District by any
other public entity, such as the Orange County Tax Collector, the Orange County
Auditor, or the Orange County Recorder, in connection with the rebate or refund.
Section 2.04. Annual Charge Based on Fiscal Year. The Sewer
Service Charges established by this Ordinance shall be effective as of July 1 of
each year, as set forth in Tables A and B, attached hereto, for the District's fiscal
year, and shall remain in effect until such time as the rates adopted herein are
changed by District Ordinance. There shall be no proration of such charges in
any fiscal year.
Section 2.05. Method of Collection.
A. Pursuant to the authority granted by California Health &
Safety Code Sections 4766 and 5473, and except as otherwise provided in
Subparagraph 2.056 below, all Sewer Service Charges established herein shall
be collected on the County Tax Roll in the same manner, by the same persons,
and at the same time as, together with, and not separately from, its general
taxes. The County Tax Collector is authorized and hereby ordered to make said
collections in accordance with the terms and conditions of agreements between
the County of Orange and the District.
B. In the event District determines that, due to billing or
payment error, or to inequity in the amount billed, a property owner (or person
who paid the tax) has underpaid annual Sewer Service Charges payable to
District, District, within four (4) years after the date of mailing of the tax bill, may:
(1) collect the amount of any deficiency directly on the
County Tax Roll;
(2) off-set the amount of any deficiency against any
amounts that District determines is owing, by District, to the property owner, as a
rebate or refund under this Ordinance; or
(3) submit, directly to the property owner, a bill for the
amount of any deficiency, which shall be due and payable within thirty (30) days
of the invoice date and which, if not paid, shall become a lien on said property.
Section 2.06. Credit for Industrial Permittees. A credit shall be
allowed to all dischargers permitted pursuant to Article 3 of District Ordinance
No. OCSD-40, as amended, in an amount equal to the annual Sewer Service
Charge established by Section 2.02 of this Ordinance.

SUMMARY
At the December 2012 Operations and Administration Committee meetings and the
December 2012 Board meeting, staff presented a proposed financing plan in support of
the Sanitation District's operations. The financing plan addressed the Sanitation
District's operating and capital programs for the period covering FY 2013-14 through FY
2020-21. On December 19, 2012, the Board gave direction to staff to issue proposed
rate adjustment notices to effected rate payers in compliance with Proposition 218
requirements.
In January 2013, the Administration Committee received a Wastewater Revenue and
Rate Study completed by Carollo Engineers that included the appropriate allocation of
costs between and among pollutants (BOD, SS and Flow), including the basis for
allocation of non-assignable costs, maintaining a "net cost of service" rate structure for
high industrial dischargers (permittees) that is fair and equitable to all rate payers. The
rate study did not note any material functional cost allocation change between BOD,
911135.2 Page 1 of 4
SS, and Flow and found that it would be fair and equitable to increase each of these
cost components by the overall rate increase established by the Board.
At the January 2013 Board meeting, staff presented the Wastewater Revenue and
Rate Study prepared by Carollo Engineering, which found that staffs recommendation
to increase the industrial sewer service charges were reasonable based on an
evaluation of the District's revenue needs, projected reserve balances and user rate
structure.
The net effect of adopting this financing plan and subsequent five-year rate ordinance
will be to increase annually all of the Sanitation District's industrial sewer service
charges 4.8 percent effective on July 1, 2013, followed by annual increases of 2.4% for
the next four years. The proposed increase provides for equitable and proportionate
distribution for the cost of service of operating the Sanitation District's wastewater
system.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
The Board of Directors last adopted a five-year rate plan in 2008 to support its $2.0
billion capital improvement and rehabilitation, refurbishment and replacement program
and operational activities. During this period, annual rate increases of ten percent
(10%)were required to support larger construction efforts, specifically for the completion
of Full Secondary and Groundwater Replenishment System (GWRS) projects.
The Sanitation District expects to continue and/or improve its level of service and meet
demands on its wastewater system through its Capital Improvement Program (CIP),
which has been developed to satisfy anticipated regulatory requirements, increased
population, additional treatment requirements, odor control improvements, air-quality
protection needs, conservation, energy and other resource-savings considerations.
Now that the larger construction projects related to the Sanitation District's
implementation of full secondary treatment are complete, the Sanitation District will
change its focus to rehabilitation and refurbishment efforts, the general maintenance of
assets and ongoing operations. Future CIP projects are focused on (i) major
rehabilitation of the existing headworks, primary-treatment, outfall, and solids handling
911135.2 Page 2 of 4
facilities; (ii) rehabilitation and replacement of many of the Sanitation District's outlying
pump stations and trunk sewers; and (ii)fund cooperative projects to help cities upgrade
their sewer systems. The cost adjustments associated with these efforts are primarily
inflationary in nature. As a result, increases at the 10 percent level are no longer
required, only increases that align with inflation.
The CIP projected costs totals approximately 1.63 billion in 2012 dollars between Fiscal
Year 2013/2014 and FY 2020/2021. Of this total, approximately $1.44 billion will be
undertaken for the rehabilitation and refurbishment efforts identified above, while $0.19
billion will be undertaken to provide capacity for projected growth.
Based on an analysis of the cost-of-service for existing users and an allocation of the
costs of the Sanitation District's sewer services to each class or customer in proportion
to the demands they place on the system, staff is recommending rate adjustments
based on the projected inflationary costs of 4.8 percent effective July 1, 2013, followed
by annual increases of 2.4 percent for the next four years.
User charges are the primary revenue source of the Sanitation District, and such
charges have been adjusted in previous years to generate sufficient cash flow for
additional capital improvements and debt-service obligations. The revenues derived
from the rate schedule proposed herein will be used to cover the cost of providing and
maintaining sewer service to industrial users, and the rate schedule represents a
balanced approach that implements a strategy of no additional debt issuances, prudent
reduction of reserves and achieving various operational efficiencies of more than $15
million per year through the CIP. The amount of the proposed industrial sewer service
charge is based upon the demand of each user on the Sanitation District's wastewater
system, and such charge does not exceed the proportional cost of the service
attributable to the parcel.
In addition to industrial sewer service charges, and other proposed user rate
adjustments, existing reserves will be reduced and other cost saving measures will be
implemented. Without the use of existing reserves and other cost saving measures,
additional rate increases beyond what is proposed would have been required.
By policy, operational need and legal requirement, the Sanitation District maintains a
specified level of reserves. Staff believes that, while the reduction in reserves is
warranted at this time, substantial reductions could result in reserve levels below that
required by Sanitation District Reserve Policy, which will require Board action to revise
it, and could result in cuts to projects and programs as well as service level reduction.
Therefore, staff recommends that the Board adopt the proposed five year rate schedule
to ensure that the Sanitation District (i) continues to provide sewer services to existing
properties at the same or improved level; (ii) maintains sufficient reserves consistent
with the Reserve Policy; and (iii) avoids more drastic increases in the future.

PERMITTEES.
ADOPTING REVISED TABLE F RE CLASS I AND CLASS II PERMITTEES
AND SPECIAL PURPOSE DISCHARGE PERMITTEES
WHEREAS, The former County Sanitation Districts Nos. 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 7, 11, 13
and 14 of Orange County, California (the "Predecessor Districts"), were nine
individual County Sanitation Districts, organized pursuant to the County Sanitation
District Act (California Health & Safety Code Section 4700 at seq.). By action of the
Board of Directors of the Predecessor Districts, pursuant to specific legislation
enacted by the California State Legislature in 1996, an application was submitted to
the Orange County Local Agency Formation Commission to legally consolidate the
nine Predecessor Districts into one single Sanitation District for all purposes. The
application was approved, with an effective date of July 1, 1998; and
WHEREAS, As of July 1, 1998, the Predecessor Districts ceased to exist, and
one single consolidated County Sanitation District, known as the Orange County
Sanitation District ("District"), came into existence in place of the Predecessor
Districts. The District was formed to carry on the functions of the Predecessor
Districts; and
WHEREAS, The District, as part of its maintenance and updating of its Master
Plan, undertook a comprehensive evaluation and study of its operational and financial
needs for the next 20 years, including: a detailed assessment of all types and
categories of users; the demands on the system and capacity needs of the system to
provide necessary service to the multiple categories of users; the total costs of the
existing and future facilities in the system; and alternate methodologies for
establishing fair and equitable charges to connect to and gain access to the system.
These comprehensive planning, engineering, and financial studies led to the
development of an updated Comprehensive 20-year Master Plan of Capital Facilities,
entitled "1999 Strategic Plan" ("Master Plan").
WHEREAS, The Master Plan, setting forth and identifying the required future
development of District Facilities, including financial projections for providing sewer
service to all properties within the District's service area, was approved and adopted
by the Board of Directors on October 27, 1999 by OCSD Resolution No. 99-21, with
updates adopted in 2002 and 2006, following a noticed public hearing, and in
compliance with the provisions of the California Constitution and all other applicable
laws; and

WHEREAS, The Board of Directors approved the Capital Improvement
Program ("CIP") Validation Study for Fiscal year 2003-04 and the Secondary
Treatment Peer Review, which resulted in the development of a Capital Improvement
Program that provides for the implementation of secondary treatment standards,
thereby improving effluent quality in a reasonably short period of time, consistent with
the goals and policies of the Board of Directors, the member agencies, and the
public, while also providing for the construction of necessary improvements to
accommodate projected increased flows and the rehabilitation and refurbishment of
existing facilities; and
WHEREAS, pursuant to Health and Safety Code section 5471, the Board of
Directors is authorized to prescribe, revise and collect fees, tolls, rates, rentals or
other charges for services and facilities furnished by the District in connection with its
sewerage system; and
WHEREAS, On May 26, 2010, the Board of Directors of the District adopted
Ordinance No. OCSD40, establishing capital facilities capacity charges, along with
miscellaneous charges and fees relating to industrial charges, source control
permittees, and wastehaulers; and
WHEREAS, on January 23, 2013, the Board of Directors was presented with
and has reviewed the District's Wastewater Revenue and Rate Study dated January
2013 prepared by Carollo Engineers, on file with the District, which independently
found that the proposed increases in the industrial user charges based on unit costs
were appropriate and reasonable based on an evaluation of the District's revenue
needs, projected reserve balances and user rate structure; and
WHEREAS, for purposes of ensuring that the District has sufficient revenues
and reserves to meet the District's obligations and operations, it is the intent, by the
adoption of this Ordinance, only to amend Table F of Ordinance No. OCSD40 to
establish new industrial user charges; and
WHEREAS, Section 21080(b)(8) of the Public Resources Code states that "the
establishment, modification, structuring, or approval of rates, tolls, fares, or other
charges by public agencies which the public agency finds are for the purpose of (A)
meeting operating expenses, including employee wage rates and fringe benefits, (B)
purchasing or leasing supplies, equipment, or materials, (C) meeting financial reserve
needs and requirements, (D) obtaining funds for capital projects necessary to
maintain service within existing service areas, or (E) obtaining funds necessary to
maintain those intracity transfers as are authorized by city charter" is not subject to
CEQA; and
WHEREAS, Section 15273(a) of the California Code of Regulations states that
"CEQA does not apply to the establishment, modification, structuring, restructuring, or
approval of rates, tolls, fares, or other charges by public agencies which the public
agency finds are for the purpose of: (1) Meeting operating expenses, including
910708.1 2

45 days prior to the public hearing by the District to the each industrial permitee upon
which the charge is proposed for imposition; and
WHEREAS, on Wednesday, March 27, 2013 at 6:30 P.M., in the District's
Boardroom on the first floor of its Administration Building located at 10844 Ellis

WHEREAS, the Board of Directors has carefully reviewed the Wastewater
Revenue and Rate Study dated January 2013, and has considered the public and
Board comments, and the oral and written presentation by the District's staff and
consultants made at the March 27, 2013 public hearing, as well as any written public
comments.
NOW, THEREFORE, the Board of Directors of the Orange County Sanitation
District does hereby ORDAIN:
Section I. Findings. Based upon substantial evidence presented to the
Board of Directors, the Board of Directors of District hereby adopts the following
Findings supporting the amounts of charges and fees adopted pursuant to this
Ordinance. The Board of Directors hereby finds:
A. That the industrial user charges and the annual adjustments to
the industrial user charges (collectively referred hereafter as the "Sewer Service
Charges") as established in Table F herein is appropriate and ensures adequate
revenues to finance the improvements and programs necessary to implement
secondary treatment standards, accommodate increased flows, rehabilitate and
refurbish existing facilities, and retire any necessary or prudent debt incurred to
finance such improvements in a reasonable manner and over a reasonable period of
time.
B. That the revenues derived under the provisions of this Ordinance
will be used for (i) the acquisition, construction, reconstruction, maintenance, and
operation of the sewage collection, wastewater treatment and disposal facilities of the
District, (ii) to repay principal and interest on debt instruments, (iii) to repay federal
and state loans issued for the construction and reconstruction of said sewerage

facilities, together with costs of administration and provisions for necessary reserves,
and (iv) to assist in the payment of costs to provide all regulatory administration and
laboratory services related to the industrial dischargers and source control permittees
of the OCSD's systems.
C. That the financial requirements of the District, as shown in
reports prepared by Staff and Consultants relating to the Master Plan and the Capital
Improvement Plan, are based on current, reliable information, and further, that data
relating to population projections, wastewater flow, and capital facilities' needs are
expected to be realized in each year as described in the reports.
D. That the owners of properties, upon which all fees and charges
established by this Ordinance are levied, discharge wastewater to the District's
collection, treatment and disposal facilities. The costs of operating and maintaining
said facilities have constantly increased due in part to increased regulatory
requirements to upgrade the treatment process.
E. That the need for upgraded and improved treatment of all
wastewater collection, treatment and disposal facilities is required to protect the
public health and safety, and to preserve the environment without damage.
F. That the Sewer Service Charges established by this Ordinance
are reasonably related to, and do not exceed the cost of providing sewer services,
and shall herein be levied on each parcel to allow the District to recover the
reasonable costs to provide a service to individual properties which have been
improved for different types of uses.
G. That the basis for the respective charge is not based on potential
or future use, but rather, is based upon the request of the owner of property or a
structure thereon, for the benefit of him/her/itself, or the occupants of the property, to
receive a service for actual use, consumption, and disposal of water to the District's
system in lieu of disposal by other means.
H. That the revenues derived from the Sewer Service Charges shall
not be used for any purpose other than that for which the charge is imposed.
I. That the Sewer Service Charges established by this Ordinance
are not imposed as a condition of approval of a development project, as defined in
California Government Code Section 66001, and do not exceed the proportional cost
to provide the sewer service for which the fee is levied, as provided in Government
Code Sections 66013 and 66016 and California Constitution Article XIIID.
J. That the Sewer Service Charges established herein are not an
incident of property ownership, are not an assessment, nor are they a property-
related service having a direct relationship to property ownership. Accordingly, the
provisions of California Constitution Article XIIID are not applicable.
910708.1 4
Return to Agenda Report
K. That the Sewer Service Charges adopted herein are established
upon a reasonable basis between the fees charged each customer and the service
and facilities provided to each customer of the District, a portion of which are
necessary to replace the loss of ad valorem property taxes to the State General Fund
as a result of state legislative action on September 2, 1992, and in subsequent years.
L. That the Sewer Service Charges adopted herein will not result in
an expansion of facilities to provide for growth within outside the existing service
area. The adoption of these Sewer Service Charges will not result in any specific
project, nor result in a direct physical change in the environment.
M. That the District is required by federal and state law, including
the Federal Water Pollution Control Act, also known as the Federal Clean Water Act
(33 U.S.C. 1251, at seq.), the General Pretreatment Regulations (40 C.F.R. 403), and
the Porter-Cologne Water Quality Control Act (California Water Code Sections 13000
at seq.) to implement and enforce a program for the regulation of wastewater
discharges to the OCSD's sewers.
N. That the District is required by federal, state and local law, to
meet applicable standards of treatment plant effluent quality.
O. That pursuant to these requirements, the Board of Directors has
adopted a separate ordinance establishing Wastewater Discharge Regulations.
P. That the District incurs additional costs in conducting non-
compliance sampling of those industrial wastewater dischargers who violate the
OCSD's Wastewater Discharge Regulations and in administering the industrial and
special discharge permit programs.
Q. That the ordinance establishing Wastewater Discharge
Regulations provides that the Board of Directors is to establish various fees and
charges to recover those costs to the District which are made necessary by industrial
dischargers who violate the OCSD's Wastewater Discharge Regulations.
R. That the Sewer Service Charges hereby established by this
Ordinance do not exceed the estimated reasonable costs to the District of industrial
discharger or source control use of the District's facilities and for the administration
and implementation of permit and fee processing, non-compliance sampling, and
related services associated with the OCSD's Source Control Program.
S. That the Board of Directors is adopting the Sewer Service
Charges herein to (i) meet operating expenses, (ii) purchase or lease supplies,
equipment, or materials, (iii) meet financial reserve needs and requirements, and (iv)
obtain funds for capital projects necessary to maintain service within existing service
areas. Therefore, the Board finds and determines, based upon substantial evidence,
that the establishment of the Sewer Service Charges are statutorily exempt from
910708.1 5
Return to Agenda Report
CEQA, pursuant to Section 21080(b)(8) of the Public Resources Code and Section
15273(a) of the California Code of Regulations.
T. That all fees and charges established herein have been
approved by the District's Board of Directors at a noticed public meeting, all in
accordance with applicable provisions of law.

Return to Agenda Report
FY 2013-14 Preliminary Budget Assumptions
Economic Assumptions
• Inflation for Orange County in FY 2013-14 is projected to be 2.8 percent based on the 2013
projected percentage change in consumer price index obtained from the November 2012
Economic and Business Review report prepared by Chapman University. This
approximates the 2.9 percent inflation factor that was used in the FY 2013-14 budget.
Revenue Assumptions
• Year 1 of the recently proposed five-year Sewer Service Fee Rate Schedule that will be
presented to the Board for ratification in April 2013.
• A Proposition 218 rate increase notification will be required to be mailed to all Revenue
Areas except 14 regarding the new proposed rate schedule.
• Staff is proposing a 4.8 percent increase to the single-family residence (SFR) annual rate to
$308 in FY 2013-14.
• Note that each $1 increase in the SFR rate generates approximately$900,000 per year.
• The capital facilities capacity charge (CFCC) fee captures only those infrastructure costs
that relate to additional capacity. Other infrastructure costs such as improved treatment,
rehabilitation, refurbishment, and replacement, will be supported through user fees.
• With the new Facilities Master Plan adopted in December 2009, a new CFCC rate study was
completed in April 2010 to ensure that the CFCC fee methodology remains equitable and to
confirm that an appropriate share of system costs would be recovered from new
development.
• Revenues will be budgeted to reflect small growth in Equivalent Dwelling Unit (EDU)
connections that have remained flat over the past five years.
• Permit user rates for flow, Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD) and Total Suspended Solids
(TSS) will follow the most recent Rate Study completed in January 2013.
• Annexation fees capture both the net current assets and the equivalent property tax
allocations totaling $4,235 per acre.
• Annexable property in the District's service area sphere is minimal; consequently, no FY
2013-14 income from annexation fees is anticipated.
• Property tax revenues of$64,025,000 are proposed to remain unchanged from FY 2012-13.
Although an annual increase in Assessed Value of 2% or CPI, whichever is less, is
authorized by the state constitution, CPI is expected to remain flat. Assessed valuations are
believed to have bottomed out from the most recent economic recession and are anticipated
to remain flat through FY 2013-14.
• Earnings on the investment of the District's operating cash and reserves will be budgeted at
1.0% of the average cash and investment balance projected for the fiscal year.
• No"new money' debt issuance is scheduled for FY 2013-14.

FY 2013-14 Preliminary Budget Assumptions
Operating Assumptions
• Dry weather urban run off up to 4 mgd will continue to be treated at no charge. Above this
threshold, there is a charge of$1,440.42 per mgd up to a maximum of 10 mgd permitted.
• Operating expenses are expected to be up to $4 million, or 3 percent less than the adopted
FY 2013-14 budget of$156,434,870.
• All secondary treatment facilities are completed and fully operational.
• Average daily flow for FY 2013-14 is projected to be 208 mgd. This projection reflects an
expected increase of 2% per year based on increased economic activity and the potential
for moderate rainfall. The FY 2013-14 flow projection is 6 mgd above the actual for the first
six months of the current year. The final actual flow for FY 2011-12 was 201 mgd.
Employee/Staffing Assumptions
• Staffing level is expected to remain flat. The total FY 2013-14 authorization level is 627.75
FTEs.
• Vacant positions as of 12/31/12 are budgeted at 50 percent of step 1 for the remainder of
FY 2012-13 and at 100 percent of step 2 for FY 2013-14.
• New positions will be projected at 100 percent of step 1 for FY 2013-14.
• A 3% vacancy factor on authorized positions has been budgeted for FY 2013-14. The
actual vacancy factor for 2011-12 was 7.65%. This vacancy factor accounts for time spent
for recruitment and turnover.
• The Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) for the Supervisor and Professional (SPMT)
group will expire June 30, 2013. Pending the completion of the negotiation process, no
salary adjustments will be included in the budget (neither COLA nor for step increases) for
periods beyond the expiration of the current MOU.
• The MOUs for both OCEA and Local 501 will expire June 30, 2014. Salary adjustments
based on the current MOUs for OCEA and Local 501 include range adjustments of 2.0
percent and 2.5 percent, respectively, as of the first pay period beginning in July of FY 2013-
14. Additionally, employees within OCEA and Local 501 bargaining units not already at the
top step will be budgeted to receive a 5.0 percent step/range increases in FY 2013-14.
• Pending the completion of the negotiation process, no salary adjustments will be included in
the budget (neither for COLA nor for step increases) for periods beyond the expiration of
current MOUs.
• FY 2013-14 retirement costs for employees enrolled in Orange County Employees
Retirement System (OCERS) Plans G and H are estimated at a rate of 31.95 percent, of the
employee's based salary, up from 27.47 percent in FY 2012-13. The rates for plan Plans G
and H include the District's pickup of 3.5 percent of employees' required contributions.
Employees enrolled in OCERS Plan B are estimated at a rate of 30.77 percent of the
employee's base salary, up from 26.69 in FY 2012-13. All employees hired on or after
January 1, 2013 are enrolled in OCERS Plan U and are estimated at a rate of 24.89
Page 3 of 9
Return to Agenda Report
FY 2013-14 Preliminary Budget Assumptions
percent. Interns are not enrolled in OCERS so their retirement benefits are calculated at 6.2
percent(FICA rate).
• Medical and dental insurances will be budgeted to increase 11 percent and 8 percent,
respectively, based on insurance industry trends. The cost for vision care insurance is
expected to be unchanged. A moderate but yet to be determined increase for life and
disability insurances will be budgeted for FY 2013-14.
Materials, Supplies, &Services Assumptions
• The proposed operating budget will continue to reflect an emphasis on safety, technical, and
management training. In FY 2013-14, the training budget will be based on recent actual
costs rather than on a percentage of regular salaries and wages.
• An amount equal to half of one percent of the operating materials and supplies budget will
be a contingency for prior year re-appropriations. Since the current year's budget lapses on
June 30, a contingency is needed in the succeeding budget year for goods or services
ordered at the end of one budget year but not delivered until the following year.
• An amount equal to one half of one percent of the operating materials and supplies budget
will be the General Manager's contingency budget. These funds will be allocated to
appropriate line items during the year after requests and justifications for unanticipated
needs are approved by the General Manager.
• Resource needs for strategic initiatives will be included in the budget.
Capital Improvement Program Assumptions
• The FY 2013-14 cash flow budget is based on the Validated Capital Improvement Program
(CIP) is the target.
• The baseline CIP cash flow for FY 2013-14 is$156.3 million.
• Continual evaluation of the CIP by the Asset Management Team may result in deferral or
reduction of some projects and a resultant increase in O&M repair costs for materials and
services, if the net cash flow impact is a decrease.
• The FY 2013-14 CIP budget will only increase for critical projects which were not previously
identified in the Strategic Plan Update.
• It is anticipated that 85% of the FY 2012-13 CIP budget will be expended by June 30, 2013.
Debt Financing
• The District will issue new debt in the form of COPS as needed to fund the CIP and to
maintain reserves.
• No additional "new money" debt issuance is scheduled for FY 2013-14.
• Debt will only be used for CIP and capital expenses, not for operating expenses.
• Capital financing plans over the next five years include no future borrowings.
Page 4 of 9
Return to Agenda Report
FY 2013-14 Preliminary Budget Assumptions
• Borrowing is proposed only for facilities which do not add capacity and that are funded by all
users for replacement, rehabilitation, and improved treatment.
Reserve Assumptions
• The current reserve policy was reviewed by Public Resources Advisory Group and the
Board during FY 2003-04. No changes were proposed and direction was given to continue
to maintain reserve levels at a level that is adequate to offset exposure to variable rate
COPs due to interest rate increases.
• The current reserve policy is summarized as follows:
► A cash flow reserve will be established to fund operations, maintenance and
certificates of participation expenses for the first half of the fiscal year, prior to receipt
of the first installment of the property tax allocation and sewer service user fees
which are collected as a separate line item on the property tax bill. The level of this
reserve will be established as the sum of an amount equal to six months operations
and maintenance expenses and the total of the annual debt (COP) service payments
due in August each year.
► An operating contingency reserve will be established to provide for non-recurring
expenditures that were not anticipated when the annual budget and sewer service
fees were considered and adopted. The level of this reserve will be established at
an amount equal to ten percent of the annual operating budget.
► A capital improvement reserve will be maintained to fund annual increments of the
capital improvement program. The long-term target is for one half of the capital
improvement program to be funded from borrowing and for one half to be funded
from current revenues and reserves. With this program in mind, the target level of
this reserve has been established at one half of the average annual capital
improvement program through the year 2020.
► Catastrophic loss, or self-insurance, reserves will be maintained for property damage
including fire, flood and earthquake, for general liability and for workers'
compensation. These reserves are intended to work with purchased insurance
policies, FEMA disaster reimbursements and State disaster reimbursements. The
potential infrastructure loss from a major earthquake has been estimated at $1.3
billion. The level of this reserve has been set to fund the District's non-reimbursed
costs, estimated to be$57 million.
► Accumulated capital funds will be set aside for certain speck, short-term capital
improvements as the need and availability arise.
No A capital replacement/renewal reserve policy has been established to provide thirty
percent of the funding to replace or refurbish the current collection, treatment and
disposal facilities at the end of their useful economic lives.
The FY 2011-12 Asset Management Plan as estimated the current replacement
value of the collection facilities to be $3.14 billion and for the treatment and disposal
facilities to be $3.12 billion. The initial reserve level has been established at $50
million, which will be augmented by interest earnings and a small portion of the
annual sewer user fee, in order to meet projected needs through the year 2030.
Page 5 of 9
Return to Agenda Report
FY 2013-14 Preliminary Budget Assumptions
► Provisions of the various certificates of participation (COP) issues require debt
service reserves to be under the control of the Trustee for that issue. These reserve
funds are not available for the general needs of the District and must be maintained
at specified levels. The current level of required COP service reserves is projected
to be$228.7 million.
► Accumulated funds exceeding the levels specified by District policy will be
maintained in a rate stabilization fund. These funds will be applied to future years'
needs in order to maintain rates or to moderate annual fluctuations. There is no
established target for this reserve.
