AGENDA REPORT Item Number -- Item Number 1
Orange County Sanitation District
FROM: James D. Herberg, General Manager
Originator: Lorenzo Tyner, Director of Finance and Administrative Services
SUBJECT: FY 2018-19 AND FY 2019-20 BUDGET WORKSHOP GENERAL MANAGER'S RECOMMENDATION
Information Only. BACKGROUND
Annually, during each month of the budget development process, Orange County
Sanitation District (Sanitatiion District) staff provides comprehensive presentations on the major budget areas to the Administration Committee, starting in February and concluding in June. Two additional presentations are provided to the Operations Committee before the budget is submitted to the Board of Directors for approval. This year, the Board of
Directors expressed interest in having an additional budget workshop to allow for
additional discussion and information. After a general budget overview, each department head will give a brief presentation on their individual operation, followed by a presentation of the major line items for which they
are responsible. To facilitate this discussion, the following materials are included:
1) Budget Assumptions Summary 2) Revenue Summary and Detail 3) Expenditure Summary and Detail
4) Department Summaries and Detail
5) Staffing Summary This workshop will focus on Revenues and Operating Expenditures. Given the size, complexity, and importance of the Sanitation District’s Capital Improvement Program
(CIP), staff will provide a separate and more comprehensive CIP presentation to the
Operations and Administration Committees in May. RELEVANT STANDARDS
• Produce Ops and CIP budgets every two years with annual update PRIOR COMMITTEE/BOARD ACTIONS
The FY 2017-18 biennium budget was adopted on June 28, 2017.
Page 2 of 2
FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS The outlays for the FY 2018-19 and 2019-20 Budgets will be proposed for adoption at the June 27, 2018 Board meeting. These outlays will not exceed the amounts within the cash flow model included in the Proposed FY 2018-19 and 2019-20 Budgets.
ATTACHMENTS
The following attachment(s) are included in hard copy and may be viewed on-line at the OCSD website (www.ocsd.com) with the complete agenda package and attachments:
• Budget Update Development – Budget Assumptions Summary
• Budget Update Development – Revenue Summary and Detail
• Budget Update Development – Expenditure Summary and Detail
• Budget Update Development – Department Summaries and Detail
• Budget Update Development – Staffing Summary
FY 2018-19 and FY 2019-20 BUDGET ASSUMPTIONS
Economic Assumptions
• Inflation for Orange County in FY 2018-19 is projected to be 2.4 percent based on the 2018 projected percentage change in consumer price index obtained from Chapman University. A 2.4 percent inflation factor will also be used for FY 2019-20.
Revenue Assumptions
• Based upon the proposed Sewer Service Fee Rate Schedule to be approved by the Board in March 2018, the single-family residence (SFR) rate will increase by 1.2 percent to $335 in
FY 2018-19.
• 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. The proposed CFCC fee to be approved by the Board in March 2018 will increase by 10 percent for FY 2018-19. Other infrastructure costs such as improved treatment, rehabilitation, refurbishment, and replacement, will be supported through user fees.
• Given the Facilities Master Plan adopted in December 2017, a rate study was completed in December 2017 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 little growth in Equivalent Dwelling Unit (EDU) connections that have remained flat over the past five years.
• Propose permit user rates for flow will increase by 4.1 percent, Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD) will increase by 0.5 percent and Total Suspended Solids (TSS) will increase by 2.9 percent for FY 2018-19 based upon the Rate Study completed in December 2017.
• 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 2018-19 income from annexation fees is anticipated.
• Property tax revenues are preliminarily estimated to increase by approximately five percent
from FY 2017-18 to $98,349,000. A two percent annual increase in Assessed Value is authorized by the state constitution and is included in the increases noted above. The additional increase in assessed value is from authorized increases to market value when property is sold at a higher value.
• Earnings on the investment of the District’s operating cash and reserves will be budgeted at
1.0 percent of the average cash and investment balance projected for the fiscal year.
• No additional debt issuance is scheduled for FY 2018-19.
FY 2018-19 and FY 2019-20 BUDGET ASSUMPTIONS
Operating Assumptions
• Operating expenses are expected to approximate the adopted FY 2017-18 budget of $154 million.
• Average daily flows are projected at 190 mgd for FY 2018-19 and 191 MGD for FY 2019-20. The FY 2018-19 flow projection of 190 mgd reflects an increase of 3 mgd from the actual for the first 5 months of the current year and is 2 mgd above the final actual flow for FY 2016-17. Employee/Staffing Assumptions
• Staffing level is expected to remain flat. No additional positions are anticipated. The total FY 2017-18 authorized staffing level is 635.00 FTEs, excluding Management Discretion positions.
• Vacant positions as of 12/31/17 are budgeted at 50 percent of step 1 for the remainder of FY 2017-18 and at 100 percent of step 2 for FY 2018-19.
• New positions will be projected at 100 percent of step 1 for FY 2018-19.
• A 5.0 percent vacancy factor on authorized positions has been budgeted for FY 2018-19. The actual vacancy factor is currently running at 7.6 percent, but is on a downward trend due to the streamlined recruitment processes now in place. This vacancy factor accounts for time spent for recruitment and turnover.
• The Memorandums of Understanding (MOUs) for the OCEA, the Local 501, and the Supervisor and Professional (SPMT) groups expire on June 30, 2019. Salary adjustments will be included in the budget for COLA based upon the current MOUs.
• Retirement costs for employees enrolled in OCERS Plans G and H are estimated at a rate of 15.78 percent of the employee’s base salary for FY 2018-19, down from 15.83 percent in FY 2017-18. The rates for 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 10.21 percent of the employee’s base salary for FY 2018-19, down from 10.30 percent in FY 2017-18. All employees hired on or after January 1, 2013 are enrolled in OCERS Plan U and are estimated at a rate of 9.27 percent for FY 2018-19, up from 9.25 percent in FY 2017-18. Interns are not enrolled in OCERS so their retirement benefits are calculated at 6.2 percent (FICA rate).
• Other employee benefits and insurances will be budgeted to increase in FY 2018-19 and FY 2019-20 by moderate but yet to be determined amounts.
FY 2018-19 and FY 2019-20 BUDGET ASSUMPTIONS
Materials, Supplies, & Services Assumptions
• The proposed operating budget will continue to reflect an emphasis on safety, security, and maintenance of plant assets and infrastructure.
• An amount equal to half of one percent of the Operating materials and services 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 0.85 percent of the Operating materials and services 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 2018-19 and FY 2019-20 cash flow budget, based on the most current Validated Capital Improvement Program (CIP), is the target.
• The baseline CIP cash flow for FY 2018-19 is $169 million and for FY 2019-20 is $193 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 2018-19 and FY 2019-20 CIP budget will only increase for critical projects which were not previously identified in the Strategic Plan Update.
• For the first five months of FY 2017-18, $41.1 million of the $148.1 million CIP budget, approximately 27.8 percent, was expended.
Debt Financing
• The District will issue new debt in the form of Certificates of Participation (COP) as needed to fund the CIP and to maintain reserves.
• No additional debt issuance is scheduled for FY 2018-19 and FY 2019-20.
• Debt will only be used for CIP and capital expenses, not for operating expenses.
• Capital financing plans no longer include future borrowings over the next ten years as the approved user fee schedule is considered sufficient.
• Borrowing is proposed only for facilities which do not add capacity and that are funded by all users for replacement, rehabilitation, and improved treatment.
FY 2018-19 and FY 2019-20 BUDGET ASSUMPTIONS
Reserve Assumptions The existing reserve policy is summarized as follows: ► A cash flow criterion 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 criterion 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 criterion 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 criterion will be established at an amount equal to ten percent of the annual operating budget. ► A capital improvement criterion 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 criterion has been established at one-half of the average annual capital improvement program over the next ten years. ► A catastrophic loss, or self-insurance, criterion will be maintained for property damage
including fire, flood and earthquake, for general liability and for workers' compensation. This criterion is intended to work with purchased insurance policies, FEMA disaster reimbursements and State disaster reimbursements. The potential infrastructure loss
from a major earthquake, of which the District currently has limited outside insurance coverage of $25 million, has been estimated to be as high as $1.3 billion. The level of this criterion has been set at $57 million should such a catastrophic event occur. This
criterion amount will assist the District with any short-term funding needs until Federal and State assistance becomes available. ► Accumulated capital funds will be set aside for certain specific, short-term capital improvements as the need and availability arise. ► A capital replacement/renewal criterion 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. Based on the Facilities Evaluation Report completed in December 2017, the current replacement value of these facilities is estimated to be $3.17 billion for the collection facilities and $6.94 billion for the treatment and disposal facilities. The initial criterion 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. ► 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 $177 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. No target has been established target for this criterion.

The Orange County Sanitation District (District) has a variety of revenue sources available for operating and capital expenses. The major revenue sources are as follows:
• General Sewer Service Fees • Industrial Waste Permit User Fees • Capital Facilities Capacity Charges (CFCC) • Property Taxes
• Interest Earnings
• Other Miscellaneous Revenue • Debt Proceeds 2018-19 2019-20
General Service Fees – User fees are ongoing fees for service paid by customers connected to the sewer system. A property owner, or user,
does not pay user fees until connected to the sewer system
and receiving services. Once connected, a user is responsible for his share of the system’s costs, both fixed and variable, in proportion to demand on the system. These fees are for both Single Family Residences (SFR)
and Multiple Family Residences (MFR). Beginning with FY 2018-19, staff is proposing a new five-year rate schedule. The SFR rate (the underlying basis for all sewer rates) will increase by 1.2% ($4) to $335 in FY
2018-19, and additional 1.2% annually over the next four years. These rates are still consistently below the average annual sewer rate currently being charged throughout the state.
$295.8M $300.4M
2
2018-19 2019-20 Industrial Waste Permit User Fees – Fees paid by large industrial and commercial properties owners connected to the sewer system. These fees are for
the owner’s share of the system’s costs, both fixed and
variable, in proportion to demand on the system. Since the inception of the Permit User Fee program in 1970, users of the District’s system that discharge high
volumes or high strength wastewater are required to obtain
a discharge permit and pay for the full cost of service.
$13.1M $13.2M
Capital Facilities Capacity Charges (CFCC) – Capital Facilities Capacity Charge is a one-time, non-discriminatory charge imposed at the time a building or structure is newly connected to the District’s system, directly or indirectly, or an existing structure or category of
use is expanded or increased. This charge pays for District facilities in existence at the time the charge is imposed, or to pay for new facilities to be constructed in the future, that are of benefit to the property being charged.
$12.1M $12.5M
Property Taxes – The County is permitted by State law (Proposition 13) to
levy taxes at 1% of full market value (at time of purchase)
and can increase the assessed value no more than 2% per year. The District receives a share of the basic levy proportionate to what was received in the 1976 to 1978 period less $3.5 million, the amount that represents the
State’s permanent annual diversion from special districts to
school districts that began in 1992-93. The District’s share of this revenue is dedicated for the payment of debt service.
$98.3M $103.3M
Interest Earnings – Interest earnings are generated from the investment of accumulated reserves consisting of a cash
flow/contingency, a capital improvement, a
renewal/replacement, and a self-insurance reserve.
$12.1M $16.3M
Other Revenue – Other revenue includes solids handling and capital assessments from the Irvine Ranch Water District (IRWD); and O&M sewer services provided to IRWD, the Santa Ana Watershed Protection Authority (SAWPA), and the Sunset
Beach Sanitary District.
$37.1M $43.8M
3
2018-19 2019-20 Debt Proceeds – Certificates of Participation (COPs) are the District’s primary mechanism for financing capital projects. COPs
are repayment obligations based on a lease or installment
sale agreement. COPs are viewed by the State of California as a share in an installment arrangement where the District serves as the purchaser. No new debt issuances are projected in the near-term.
$0.0M $0.0M
Financing If it is necessary that the District utilize debt financing to meet its total obligations and to
meet projected construction schedules, the District uses long-term borrowing (Certificates of Participation (COP)) for capital improvements that cannot be financed from current revenue. Before any new debt is issued, the impact of debt service payments on total annual fixed costs is analyzed. No new debt issuance is currently being planned. The District Maintains its AAA Rating The District maintains ratings of “AAA” from S&P Global Ratings, Moody’s Investor Services, and Fitch Ratings. A triple A rating is the highest obtainable for any governmental agency. To maintain this rating, the District adheres to its Debt Policy and coverage ratios requirements. This Board-adopted policy serves as the agency’s guide
in the management of existing debt and issuance of future debt. OCSD Has Contractual Covenants The District has contractual covenants within the existing COP agreements which require minimum coverage ratios of 1.25. The minimum coverage ratio is the ratio of net annual
revenues available for debt service requirements to total annual debt service requirements for all senior lien COP debt. The coverage ratio for senior lien COP debt was approved at 3.43 for FY 2017-18.

2018-19 2019-20
1) SALARIES AND WAGES $72.9 $74.1 1a) Salaries $68.4 $69.4 Salaries for 636 full-time equivalent (FTE) positions are shown for the fiscal year (FY) 2018-19 and FY 2019-20 proposed budgets. Salary increases have only been included per existing bargaining agreements. The Vacancy Factor is projected at five percent based on the volume of recent and near-future retirements, and the time it will take to become fully staffed.
1b) Leave Payoffs $ 2.5 $ 2.6 Leave Payoffs for retirements are anticipated to remain relatively constant for the next two years. 1c) Overtime $ 2.0 $ 2.1 Overtime has remained constant at approximately $2.0 million over the last several years. Of this total, approximately $1.8 million is budgeted in Operations and Maintenance primarily for required overtime as the plants are in operation 24/7 (vacation, sick, shift overlap), emergencies, unscheduled maintenance, backlog and off-
shift construction support. The remaining $200,000 is budgeted in other divisions and
has remained essentially flat also.
2) BENEFITS $23.0 $24.7 2a) Retirement $10.7 $10.9 District employees are members of the Orange County Employees’ Retirement System
(OCERS). The employer’s required contribution rates have now remained relatively flat
following the payoff of the District’s unfunded actuarial accrued liability beginning in the fall of 2015 that had reached a high of close to $200 million. 2b) Group Insurance $10.9 $ 12.1 Includes Medical, Dental, Vision, Life Insurance, Medicare, Disability. In FY 2018-19,
the proposed group insurance budget approximates $17,090 per employee. 2c) Benefits, Other $ 1.4 $ 1.7 Includes Workers’ Compensation, Tuition Reimbursement, Development Pay and
Uniform Rental. Workers’ Compensation ($0.6 million in FY 2018-19 and $0.8 million in
FY 2019-20) is used to maintain the level of accumulated reserves within the Workers’ Compensation self-insurance funds. The Development Pay Program ($461,000) is intended to promote employee efforts that increase job knowledge, skills, and abilities.

2018-19 2019-20
3) OPERATING MAT’LS & SUPPLIES $15.8 $18.9 3a) Chemical Coagulants $ 5.5 $ 8.4
Anionic Polymer – Anionic polymer is added to the primary clarifiers in combination
with ferric chloride to enhance primary clarifier performance. The projected budget for
FY 2018-19 is $418,000 with FY 2019-20 increasing to $431,000 due to an anticipated three percent unit rate increase. Cationic Polymer – Cationic polymer is added to digested sludge prior to dewatering in order to improve the sludge and water separation process. Cationic polymer is also added to the waste activated sludge dissolved air flotation thickeners (DAFTs) to improve solid(s) coagulation. Projected costs for cationic polymer are $1,876,000 for FY
2018-19 reflecting minimal change from FY 2017-18. These costs will increase to
$4,520,000 for FY 2019-20 due to the additional usage for the dewatering centrifuges that are expected to be operational in July 2019. Ferric Chloride – Ferric chloride is an iron salt which is currently used to increase the solids removal efficiencies in the primary treatment process and to control digester hydrogen sulfide. As the amount of ferric chloride is optimized in primary treatment, additional amounts of ferric chloride are added to the digesters to control hydrogen sulfide. The projected ferric chloride budgets for FY 2018-19 and FY 2019-20 are
$3,195,000 and $3,419,000, respectively, reflecting expected price increases of seven percent each year. 3b) Odor Control $ 7.1 $ 7.4 Hydrogen Peroxide – The budget for hydrogen peroxide has been eliminated since hydrogen peroxide is no longer being used in the foul air scrubbers and in the trunk sewers. Project P1-123 installed new bio-scrubbers and is efficient in capturing foul air from trunk sewers. Additionally, staff optimized the usage of caustic soda and bleach to the chemical scrubbers and the usage of ferric chloride to the primary clarifiers to ensure
effective foul air treatment. Sodium Hydroxide (Caustic Soda) – Caustic soda (25%) is used in the foul air scrubbers and in the District’s main trunk lines (50%) tributary to the treatment plants. For FY 2018-19, staff proposes a budget of $83,000. The collection system usage is
proposed with a budget of $1,239,000 to maintain odor complaints within established performance levels. The total budget for caustic soda for FY 2018-19 is $1,322,000 and $1,392,000 in FY 2019-20 based on an estimated pricing increase of 3.6 percent. Muriatic Acid – Muriatic Acid (hydrochloric Acid) is used to backwash the media in the
foul air scrubbers, associated piping, and pumps. This cleans deposits caused by hard water, sulfides from the reaction with the foul air, and caustic soda used in the scrubbing

2018-19 2019-20
process. Muriatic Acid is also used as a method for cleaning polymer tanks. The projected budget for FY 2018-19 is $22,000.
Magnesium Hydroxide, Trunklines – Magnesium hydroxide reduces the formation of
hydrogen sulfide which causes odor and corrosion. Contract services include supply, operational monitoring, sampling, reporting and on-going maintenance services for odor control chemical dosing systems within the wastewater collection and conveyance system.
The projected budget for FY 2018-19 is $1,923,000, an increase of $67,000 from the FY 2017-18 projected expense. The budget increase is due to a unit rate increase from $439 per dry ton to $469 per dry ton. The projected budget of $1,992,000 for FY 2019-20 also reflects an estimated pricing increase of 3.6 percent.
Ferrous Chloride, Trunklines – Ferrous Chloride is used in the trunks to reduce hydrogen sulfide generation. This contract provides supply, operational monitoring, sampling, reporting and on-going maintenance services for odor control chemical dosing systems within the wastewater collection and conveyance system. In FY 2018-19, the
projected budget is $2,719,000, an increase of $216,000 from the FY 2017-18 projected
expense due to the new continuous dosing site for the Euclid trunk line that is expected to be operational in March 2019. In FY 2019-20, the projected budget increases to $2,816,000 due to an estimated pricing increase of 3.6 percent.
Calcium Nitrate, Trunklines – Calcium nitrate is a biological approach to controlling
odors in wastewater. It provides the naturally occurring bacteria with an alternate source of oxygen which, when metabolized, produces nitrogen gas as a byproduct rather than the sulfides produced by the naturally occurring sources of oxygen. This contract provides supply, tanks and delivery equipment, operational monitoring, sampling,
reporting and on-going maintenance services for odor control chemical dosing systems
within the wastewater collection and conveyance system. The projected budget for FY 2018-19 is $824,000. The FY 2019-20 proposed usage will be the same as the current year. The increase in budgeted cost to $854,000 results from an estimated 3.6 percent unit rate increase.
Bleach, Treatment Plant Odor Control – Bleach is used in treatment plant odor control scrubbers and has replaced more expensive chemicals. The projected total cost of odor control bleach is $330,000 for FY 2018-19 with a slight increase to $333,000 in FY 2019-20.
3c) Disinfection $ 0.3 $ 0.3 Sodium Hypochlorite (Bleach) – The treatment plant bleach usage is for disinfection of plant water and the control of filamentous organisms in activated sludge in the secondary treatment process. It is anticipated that the District will use approximately
400,000 gallons of process bleach in FY 2018-19 at a budgeted amount of $245,000.
2018-19 AND 2019-20 BUDGET DEVELOPMENT – ADDITIONAL DETAIL (in millions unless otherwise noted) Proposed Proposed
2018-19 2019-20
For FY 2019-20, costs are projected to increase to $280,000 due to increased usage for the operation of the new centrifuges for solids dewatering. Sodium Bisulfite – Sodium bisulfite is used for dechlorination of outfall effluent at Plant
No. 2, if required, to ensure that no residual chlorine is discharged into the ocean. The sodium bisulfite budgets are $5,000 in FY 2018-19 and FY 2019-20. 3d) Tools and Safety Equipment / Tools $ 1.1 $ 0.9 O&M and Safety use 89 percent of these budgets. There has been an increase in these budgets since the definition of capital equipment has changed; tools and equipment that
cost less than $5,000 are not considered to be capital. Personal Protective Equipment
requirements have increased, and there are different tools needed to maintain the new facilities. 3e) Laboratory Chemicals and Supplies $ 0.6 $ 0.6 Approximately 90 percent of this budget supports the Environmental Sciences
Laboratory purchases of glassware, filtration supplies, solvents used for organic extractions, acids and bases used in metals digestion and glassware cleaning, reagents, a variety of standards used in quality assurance of the tests, specialty gases, microbiology supplies and growth media, chromatography columns, test organisms for bioassay, toxicity, and various other laboratory supplies. 3f) Gas, Diesel and Oil $ 0.6 $ 0.6 Vehicle and vessel gasoline and diesel fuel, compressed natural gas, diesel and oil used in the operation of the mobile equipment, within generators and other operating equipment are included in these budgets. The future price of gasoline and natural gas are the major impacts to these budgets. 3g) Other $ 0.6 $ 0.7 Other smaller operating expenses collectively reported within this one line item such as chemicals for CoGen operations, janitorial supplies, miscellaneous operating supplies and property tax fees.
4) CONTRACTUAL SERVICES $25.2 $22.1 4a) Biosolids Management $16.2 $12.5 OCSD has benefitted the last few years from low diesel prices, keeping program costs
within budget despite the peak solids production. The FY 2017-18 biosolids budget was impacted by the California fuel tax and a contract renewal resulted in higher costs for land application. The total cost for FY 2018-19 is expected to remain the same as FY 2017-18 projected amount and the cost is projected to decrease by $3,700,000 in FY
2019-20 to $12,500,000 due to the sludge dewatering and odor control facilities coming
online at both Plant No. 1 and Plant No. 2.

2018-19 2019-20
4b) Other Residual Solids and Waste $ 0.8 $ 0.8 The other residual solids and waste category includes disposal costs for grit and
screening waste, digester cleaning waste, and hazardous materials. The Grit and
Screening budget includes supplying bins to collect then haul and dispose of grit, screenings, and drying bed material to a landfill. The grit is generated from the grit chambers, and the screenings is the material collected off the bar screens. Drying bed material is typically made up of the material cleaned out of pipes in the collection system
by District’s crews and other city crews in the District’s service area. The budget for
disposal of grit, screenings and other waste is $812,000 in FY 2018-19 4c) Grounds keeping/Janitorial/Security $ 2.2 $ 2.2 The Security Services budget is projected to increase slightly from the FY 2017-18
projected total of $1,586,000 to $1,608,000 in FY 2018-19. The proposed FY 2018-19 budgets for Groundskeeping and Janitorial services reflect an increase of $89,000 over the FY 2017-18 projected costs primarily due to maintenance required for the recently acquired Mt. Langley property. The budget for FY 2019-20 is projected to remain the same as FY 2018-19. 4d) County Service Fee $ 0.5 $ 0.5 The County Service Fee is the fee charged by the County of Orange for the inclusion of the District’s sanitation fees on the County of Orange Property Tax Bill and for the collection of these fees by the County on behalf of the District. 4e) Oxygen Plant Operations $ 0.3 $ 0.3 The District oxygen plant has been decommissioned and currently the activated sludge
plant operates solely with purchased oxygen. 4f) Temporary Services $ 1.4 $ 1.3 In addition to the temporary services used to fill in for long-term leaves and position vacancies, proposed budgets for FY 2018-19 and FY 2019-20 also provide additional
support for the Civil Assets Maintenance Program (CAMP). 4g) Outside Lab Services $ 0.2 $ 0.3 The District contracts out certain laboratory services that are not cost-efficient to perform
in-house. Examples include air quality analyses, oil analyses for transformers and internal combustion engines, contaminants of potential concern, and hi-resolution mass spectroscopy. As approximately half of OCSD biosolids are reused in Arizona; contracted testing for those biosolids must meet the State of Arizona requirement for analyses to be performed in an Arizona certified laboratory.

Over 82 percent of contracted services are in support of operating and maintaining the
collection system and the treatment plants. Collection system services include closed circuit television of lines ($315K), manhole structural repair and coating ($267K), manhole frame and cover rehabilitation and replacement ($160K), closed circuit television of manholes ($135K), line cleaning ($100K), and sewer repair and relining
($90K). Treatment plant services include CAMP-related support services for asset
assessment ($526K), industrial cleaning ($320) and coatings ($431K), as well as preventative maintenance optimization services ($375K).
5) REPAIRS AND MAINTENANCE $ 21.7 $ 19.3 5a) Materials & Services $ 18.4 $ 15.8 Approximately 96 percent of these budgets support the maintenance of the collection system and treatment plants. O&M contracted materials and services for FY 2018-19 include: Central Generation engine overhaul ($2.7M), digester cleaning ($2.0M); primary clarifier repairs ($1.1M); secondary clarifier repairs ($455K); emergency generator maintenance ($280K); belt press overhaul ($250k); interplant line inspection
and maintenance ($202K); and other maintenance work including heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC), lighting and electrical equipment maintenance projects at both treatment plants. The increases following FY 2017-18 are attributed to items previously deferred that are now being addressed in FY 2018-19 and FY 2019-20.
The budget for basic scheduled, predictive, and preventive maintenance and emergency maintenance are included in these budgets which are proposed based on historical experience and cost trends.
5b) Service Agreements $ 3.3 $ 3.5 Over 94 percent of service contracts are computer-related or O&M maintenance-related. Major contracts for Information Technology include: Microsoft License Agreements
($292K); Software Maintenance for Maximo ($159K); JDE-Oracle support ($92K); and various smaller service agreements.

Approximately five percent of the potable water at Plant No. 1 is used for domestic
purposes and less than one percent is used for irrigation. Most of the irrigation at both
plants uses reclaimed water. Less than one percent of the potable water used at Plant No. 2 is for domestic purposes due to the relatively small number of employees at Plant No. 2. The projected total potable water costs for FY 2018-19 and FY 2019-20 are $619,000 and $631,000, respectively, reflecting projected unit price increases of two
percent per year.
Green Acres Project (GAP) Water – GAP water is made up of secondary treated effluent from the District that is further treated by the Orange County Water District (OCWD). As provided in OCSD’s agreement with the OCWD, OCSD receives up to
1,120 acre-feet of GAP water annually at no charge. The major uses of GAP water
include cooling water, solids handling, and landscaping. Since OCSD has been operating well within the 1,120 acre-feet allotment, no amounts are included in the proposed budget for payments to OCWD. 6c) Natural Gas $ 0.6 $ 0.6 Natural Gas – Natural gas used for Central Generation is purchased from a gas marketer, currently Constellation Energy, and transported through the Southern California Gas Company conveyance system. The “core subscription” is natural gas purchased directly from the Southern California Gas Company and used mainly for building heating and supplemental process heating.
For FY 2018-19, the estimated natural gas to be purchased from the Southern California Gas Company and the gas marketer (Constellation Energy) for Plant No. 1 and Plant No. 2 and the associated costs are shown in the table below.
