GENERAL MANAGER'S RECOMMENDATION
A. Approve the Five-Year Strategic Plan dated November 2011; and,
B. Direct staff to implement the goals and levels of service contained in the Plan.
SUMMARY
The strategic plan has been updated for 2011-12 and contains a summary of
accomplishments over the past year as well as changes to the levels of service and
strategic goals. The plan does not carry any additional costs associated with the
changes to the strategic goals and levels of service.
PRIOR COMMITTEE/BOARD ACTIONS
October 19, 2011: The Board of Directors conducted a strategic planning workshop.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Strategic Plan Update Process
In 2007, the Board of Directors held a series of workshops to develop a Five-Year
Strategic Plan containing strategic goals and levels of service and updated statements
of mission, vision and core values. The three month process culminated in adoption of
a new plan in November 2007. Every year since, the Board of Directors held a strategic
planning workshop and subsequently approved an updated plan with new strategic
goals and levels of service.
Board Input
The executive management team met in July 2011 to discuss preliminary ideas and
suggestions for updates to the plan. On October 19, the Board of Directors participated
in a workshop to discuss the progress to date and heard presentations by members of
the executive management team regarding biosolids management, full cost recovery for
the urban runoff program, ocean protection, rates, and leadership development. The
discussion resulted in recommendations to add or change several strategic goals and
levels of service.
Form No.DW-102.1 Page 1 of 4
In addition to the discussion of the agenda topics, several board members had
comments and questions about other issues. A summary of the comments and staff
responses is presented below:
Board roles and responsibilities -- look for opportunities to improve communication
between staff and the board to ensure staff is meeting the Board Members' needs for
quality content and timely information in agenda reports and staff presentations.
Staff response: staff will work with the Steering Committee to explore ways to improve
the lines of communication between the board members and staff, including
enhancements to the Directors' website and the orientation program for new board
members.
Sole source contracts -- explore options for a more competitive procurement process
with less reliance on the use of sole source contracts for the procurement of goods and
services.
Staff response: staff will schedule an information item to brief the board of directors on
the procedures used by staff to procure goods and services. We will incorporate a
discussion of the procurement process as part of the orientation program for new board
members.
Litigation costs -- review the standard language in our contracts to eliminate
ambiguities that could be misinterpreted and possibly lead to litigation.
Staff response: staff will review our standard form contracts to ensure the language is
clear and unambiguous and minimizes exposure to litigation.
Plan Changes
Based on the outcome of the strategic planning workshop, the following changes are
proposed in this update of the Strategic Plan:
Wastewater Management Levels of Service -- OCSD will implement a sustainable
biosolids program:
( Percent of biosolids recycled -- amend level of service target to allow up to
12% (from current 5%) of biosolids production to go to landfills through 2017 to
reflect opportunity to utilize lower-cost in-county landfill capacity to manage
OCSD biosolids during peak production period.
Environmental Stewardship Goals -- add new goal as follows:
( "Ocean Protection -- Undertake studies to determine the cause of benthic
community changes near the ocean outfall and take corrective action to return
affected areas to reference conditions."
Business Principle Goals -- add new goal as follows:
Form No.DW-102.1 Page 2 of 4
( "Full Cost Recovery -- Implement a direct charging mechanism to recover the
full cost of urban runoff treatment starting July 1, 2013, when the new rate
structure is in place."
Business Principle Goals -- add new goal as follows:
( "Five Year Rate Plan -- prepare an updated five year rate schedule for Board
consideration to go into effect July 1 , 2013."
Workplace Environment Goals: change targeted completion date (FY 10-11) for
existing goal as follows:
( "Providing Ongoing Leadership Development -- Maximize the development of
a pool of dedicated and talented employees ready to lead OCSD into the future.
Targeted for completion in FY 11-12."
In addition to the changes discussed at the workshop, staff further recommends the
following changes and additions to the plan as follows:
Business Principles Levels of Service -- OCSD will exercise sound financial
management:
( Add a new level of service target -- "Maintain AAA bond rating" -- to
demonstrate OCSD's commitment to sound financial management.
Wastewater Management Levels of Service -- OCSD will provide a safe, reliable effluent
for recycling:
( Concentration of emerging chemical constituents of concern in Plant No. 1
secondary effluent: Change level of service target for 1,4 dioxane to 5 ppb
from 10 ppb to reflect current public health standard.
( Thirty-day geometric mean of total coliform bacteria in effluent after initial
dilution of 180:1: Change dilution factor to 250:1 from 180:1 to reflect current
operating conditions.
Wastewater management Levels of Service -- OCSD will manage flows reliably:
( Frequency of unplanned use of emergency one-mile (78-inch diameter)
outfall: Add the word "unplanned" to reflect the Sanitation District's intent to use
the one-mile outfall only in unplanned or emergency situations.
Workplace Environment Levels of Service -- OCSD will take care of its people:
( Meet mandatory OSHA training requirements: change the level of service
target to "greater than 95%" from "100%" which more accurately reflects OCSD's
experience in achieving this level of service.
Environmental Stewardship Goals: change targeted completion date (FY 11-12) as
follows:
( Santa Ana River Interceptor Line Relocation -- Work in conjunction with the
County of Orange and Federal Government to relocate the Santa Ana River
Interceptor Line by June 2013. Targeted for completion in FY 12-13.
Form No.DW-102.1 Page 3 of 4
All of the proposed changes listed above are incorporated into the November 2011
update of the OCSD Strategic Plan.
CONTINUAL IMPROVEMENT
Overall, the updated Strategic Plan continues OCSD's goal of moving from good to
great through annual assessments and incremental changes. Each year, the Board will
be asked to provide strategic leadership and guidance to District staff for setting goals
and levels of service.
The Steering Committee and Board are asked to adopt the new Five-Year strategic
plan, which contains no new costs and will help guide the strategic direction of the
organization and staff.
CEQA
Adoption of the strategic plan is statutorily exempt from CEQA because it involves only
feasibility or planning studies for possible future actions which the board has not
approved, adopted, or funded. The strategic plan will not have a legally binding effect
on later activities.

Five-Year Strategic Plan Update
November 2011
Message from the
General Manager
The past year posed another set of challenges for the Orange County Sanitation District, but our Board
of Directors piloted us through and pushed for greater efficiencies and cost savings. Indeed, our State
and Country continue to struggle economically but OCSD remains committed to our daily mission of
protecting the public health and environment for the 2.5 million people we serve.
One year from now, we will complete our half-billion dollar upgrade to full secondary treatment
ensuring that the water going to the ocean and the Groundwater Replenishment System is of the
highest quality.
One year ago, we made significant organizational changes to meet future challenges and ensure we are
providing service to the tax payers of Orange County in a manner they have come to expect—efficiently
and effectively.
We are proud that during these challenging times,we continue to innovate.Three major milestones
occurred in 2011, including the start-up of the fuel cell research project, groundbreaking for the Santa
Ana River Interceptor relocation project and the commissioning of our new secondary treatment
facilities to ensure their readiness to meet the December 2012 consent decree deadline.
This strategic plan update recognizes our austere times. Specifically focused on internal operations and
our back to basics philosophy to support our mission and vision, we continue to evolve and improve
without adding staff and holding the line on costs. Our Board continues to drive our staff to make the
most of existing resources.
Last year we focused on preparing ourselves for the future, always recognizing the times we face and
this year we continue that trend. Our Board continues to stress that staff focus on cost savings and
driving efficiency at every level, and it is part of our everyday culture.
I thank our Board of Directors for their support and leadership, and I am proud of our 2011 Strategic
Plan Update that charts a course for the coming year. Also thank you to the Executive Management
Team and our outstanding employees who are here protecting public health and the environment for
our ratepayers.
Respectfully submitted,
James D. Ruth

Five-Year Strategic Plan Update
November 2011
Executive Summary
In November 2007,the Board of Directors adopted a new comprehensive strategic plan to steer OCSD's
efforts and engage the organization to envision service levels and operational needs for the next five
years.
The strategic plan is being updated to continue looking at a five-year horizon. This year's update took a
slightly different course as we made the decision to focus on our internal operations to make the most
of tax dollars and continue our drive towards greater efficiencies.
Driven by our mission,vision and core values,this 2011 Strategic Plan update maintains our aggressive
efforts to meet the sanitation, health, and safety needs of the 2.5 million people we serve in a cost
effective manner, while protecting the environment where we live.
Since 2007, 79 percent of the strategic goals identified in the five-year plan have been completed. As a
result of the discussion at the October 19 workshop,four new goals were added, one modification to
existing levels of service was made and a continuation of a previous goal was included in the plan.
New Goals:
• Full-Cost Recovery: Urban runoff division program—Implement a direct charging mechanism to
recover the cost of urban runoff treatment starting July 1, 2013 when the new rate structure is
in place.
• Ocean Protection—Undertake studies to determine the cause of benthic community changes
near the ocean outfall and take corrective action to return affected areas to reference
conditions.
• Updating the sewer service fee five-year rate plan—Prepare an updated five-year rate schedule
for Board consideration to go into effect July 1, 2013.
Modification to Levels of Service:
• The level of service for biosolids will continue to be 95 percent recycled, with an exception of up
to 12 percent to landfill during peak solids production through 2017.
Continuation of previous Goal:
• Providing ongoing leadership development— Maximize the development of a pool of
dedicated and talented employees ready to lead OCSD into the future.
The issue papers describing these goals and level of service are contained in Appendix A.

Beyond 2012 Planning Framework
In 2010,the General Manager directed the management team to take a critical look at how OCSD is
allocating its resources to support its mission. During that summer,the executive team adopted a
comprehensive approach to priority setting, strategic planning and budgeting, known as the Beyond
2012 Strategic Planning Framework. The planning framework is illustrated below and shows how the
Board of Directors play a critical role in strategic planning and resource allocation. In 2011, staff will
focus on fully implementing the planning framework that will unify and align our mission with strategic
planning and budgeting. The strategic planning effort starts with the Board of Directors setting overall
policy and priorities for the Sanitation District. Based on that policy direction, staff develops the annual
operational plan and budget.

Overview
Since 1954,the Orange County Sanitation District has provided wastewater treatment to
the residents and businesses of northern and central Orange County. It is the third largest wastewater
treatment agency west of the Mississippi River. During fiscal year 2010-2011, OCSD collected and
treated over 200 million gallons of wastewater each day, recycled 100 percent of its biosolids and
reclaimed over 80 million gallons per day.
In July 2002,the Board of Directors approved disinfecting the
effluent and proceeding with the planning, design, and ,,
construction of facilities that will ultimately allow OCSD
effluent to meet Federal Clean Water Act secondary .. "'�•:;
treatment standards.The current disinfection program
includes over$5 million annually for chemicals,while the 77
_ +�-� •j
estimated capital construction cost to meet secondary
treatment standards is $649 million.
OCSD is currently in the midst of a $2.9 billion, 20-year capital
improvement program with an budget of nearly$130 million. Reclamation Plant No. I in Fountain Valley
In addition to OCSD's partnership in the Groundwater
Replenishment System and secondary treatment expansion, •'�—
our capital improvement program includes critical w
rehabilitation of aging collection systems and treatment '
plant facilities, and upgrades to provide enhanced odor `"--
control and reduced air emissions.
rIIL. .
Against this backdrop of challenging issues, and to meet the
large and complex needs of providing services to 2.5 million i,�' ,
people in the most effective and efficient way possible, the Treatment Plant No.2 in Huntington Beach
strategic planning process began in 2007 to continually map
a five-year strategy.
Beginning with gathering input from the staff, with the leadership of the Board of Directors, OCSD
revisited its mission,vision, and values to allow all levels of the organization to take ownership in the
strategic planning process.
The original plan was adopted in November 2007. This is the fourth annual update to this five-year
strategic plan.

Risk Register
The Risk Register is an annual compilation of the various risks facing the Orange County Sanitation
District, as seen by the Sanitation District's management team. The 2011 Risk Register Update was
conducted as the world was reeling from the effects of the Japanese and New Zealand
earthquakes. The Japanese earthquake, in particular, brought home that one disaster could have
multiple consequences; including earthquake,tsunami, nuclear mishap and even supply chain
problems. The world also continued to make a slow recovery from the financial crash of 2008. In
addition to spotting downside risks, management was asked to also identify opportunities—items that
had an "upside"—where the risk was that the opportunity might be missed.
The 2011 Risk Register Update identified these as the top risks:
• Disaster and aftermath—refers to natural disasters and their consequences, such as the need
for business continuity, with earthquakes being the most-frequently mentioned natural disaster.
• California financial instability/California takes property taxes away—points to the continuing
monetary turmoil in California state government and the possibility that decisions by the state
could impact OCSD funds collected for state assistance.
• Lack of support for rate increases- refers to the risk that the public might not be disposed to
provide support if rate increases are needed in 2013.
• Retirement of experienced employees—reflects the fact that many OCSD employees are nearing
or are eligible for retirement.
• Difficult economy—refers to the possibility that tight economic times may continue to affect the
District's opportunities to invest, borrow, and make necessary purchases.
The top opportunities for the 2011 update are:
• Hire good staff—refers to the opportunity to find and hire competent and experienced people
during a time when many are available.
• Be prepared for emergencies and aftermath—involves the opportunity to become ready to
respond to a variety of emergencies that may arise in the future.
• Train staff for new facilities and tasks, as well as further transition planning and training—as
new construction finishes and comes online, and as long-time employees retire,there is an
opportunity to prepare OCSD and its staff for these changes.
Staff is in the process of developing plans to mitigate the identified risks and take advantage of the
opportunities. For example,the Sanitation District recently completed a major reorganization of its staff
to streamline its operations and eliminate duplicative functions as we prepare to commission full
secondary treatment in 2012. We modified our hiring process by moving to an "open recruitment"
approach to accelerate the hiring of employees who are needed to operate and maintain the new
facilities coming online in the next two years. In addition, we negotiated labor agreements with our
employees' bargaining units that will keep salary and budget costs at a reasonable level for the next
several years.

Appendix A: New Issue Papers
In preparation for the October 19, 2011 Board of Director Strategic Planning Workshop to
discuss the proposed goals for 2011, staff prepared five issue papers related to the new goals.
The appendix includes issue papers on the following topics:
• Revisiting OCSD's 95 percent recycling level of service for biosolids management
• Full-cost recovery: Urban runoff diversion program
• Evaluation of natural community decline around ocean outfall
• Leadership of the future
• Updating the sewer service fee five-year rate plan

Five-Year Strategic Plan Update
November 2011
Revisiting OCSD's 95 percent Recycling Level of Service
for Biosolids Management
Should OCSD consider landfill options for biosolids?
Why is this issue important to the District?
OCSD's Board Resolution (OCSD 06-10) supports biosolids reuse and encourages its member
agencies to use OCSD compost. This policy is implemented through a 95 percent recycling Level
of Service goal.
OCSD's solids are increasing from a historic average of 650 tons per day to a peak of about 800
tons per day until dewatering centrifuges are installed at both plants and the Irvine Ranch
Water District manages its own solids. These projects are all scheduled for completion by 2017.
The use of in-county landfills for OCSD's biosolids could potentially reduce the costs of
managing solids during this interim period.
Goals
• Use landfills as a biosolids management option during the interim peak production period
when there is a clear advantage to OCSD to do so. Clear advantages include: costs,
problems with existing contractors, weather, and other management challenges.
• Change short term diversion goals to allow greater amounts of biosolids going to the landfill
during the interim period.
• Continue to investigate and evaluate the use of landfills as a biosolids management option
and at the same time consider the triple bottom line (environmental, financial, and
societal), State of California's recycling policies, greenhouse gas emissions, and our recent
survey of stakeholders to prioritize biosolids management.
• Recognize that there is an interest by the County of Orange to work with OCSD to utilize
local landfills as a potential biosolids management option.
• Continue dialogue with the County of Orange and local agencies to build relationships and
partnerships for local landfill options.
• Utilize landfills that use biogas recovery and energy production.
Desired outcome
• Allow the use of landfills as a biosolids management option during the interim peak
production period.
• Develop a biosolids management strategy that benefits both OCSD and local county
landfills.
• Continue recycling biosolids and utilizing them for their nutrients, carbon sequestration,
and energy values.
• Maintain a diversity of biosolids options.
• Maintain operational flexibility.
• Maintain fail-safe biosolids management options and capacity, including locally.
21
Five-Year Strategic Plan Update
November 2011
Full-Cost Recovery: Urban Runoff Diversion Program
Should OCSD charge the County of Orange the cost of providing urban runoff
treatment or continue to absorb the costs within our budget?
Why is this issue important to the District?
In September 2000, the Board of Directors adopted a dry weather urban runoff policy to assist
in remediation of the public health and environmental problems associated with urban runoff.
The original resolution and its subsequent amendment, (Resolution No. 01-07), initially waived
all fees and charges associated with the urban runoff discharges for flows below 4 million
gallons per day (MGD).
During the past 11 years, the District has treated a total of 5.8 billion gallons of urban runoff
from the city of Huntington Beach, Orange County Public Works, city of Newport Beach, Irvine
Ranch Water District, and The Irvine Company. The District's urban runoff treatment cost for
2010-2011 was $976,593 based upon a reported discharge flow of 538 million gallons. These
treatment costs are projected to increase steadily. While the program has been successful in
reducing beach contamination, OCSD continues to provide benefits to agencies without
capturing the cost of delivering this service, while our costs increase as we move to full
secondary treatment in 2012.
The Board of Directors directed staff to review this matter during its discussion of the 2010
strategic plan update and to return with a recommendation for this year's strategic plan
update. Because of the current economic environment, OCSD must review this program and
ensure that our agreements provide full cost recovery for the treatment of urban runoff from
participating agencies and cities.
Goals
• Meet with participating agencies and cities to explain the issues and costs associated
with the current Urban Runoff Diversion Program.
• Amend the District's Fee Ordinance to include Urban Runoff User charges to the
appropriate agency or agencies.
• Recover the cost of providing the service from the agencies currently receiving the
benefit.
Desired Outcome
• Charge the County of Orange, the NPDES permit holder of the Municipal Separate Storm
Sewer Systems (MS4s), for Urban Runoff costs starting July 1, 2013 when the new rate
structure is in place.
22
Five-Year Strategic Plan Update
November 2011
Evaluation of Natural Community Decline Around Ocean Outfall
Should OCSD reconsider its use of chlorine disinfection?
Why is this issue important to the District?
The Clean Water Act requires the District to protect the natural communities that live around
the ocean outfall pipe. Communities of small animals that live in the sediments in the vicinity of
the outfall pipe began changing in 2005, and showed significant degradation by 2009. Changes
in small animal populations have been seen up to one-half mile beyond the pipe. The District is
at risk of being non-compliant with its ocean discharge permit requirements unless this trend is
reversed.
Ocean monitoring data shows this trend is not caused by usual sewage contaminants and is not
the result of natural changes occurring in the ocean environment. There are no discernible
changes over time in animal populations at clean reference areas, nor are other treatment
plants (POTWs) experiencing similar occurrences, including those POTWs that disinfect their
effluent.
There appears to be a strong correlation between these changes and the District's use of
chlorine as a disinfectant. Total chlorine use and daily maximum chlorine residual
concentrations correlate to the changes we are seeing in the communities of small animals. The
use of chlorine as an anti-fouling agent for the Groundwater Replenishment System's (GWRS)
reverse osmosis membrane filters may also be a contributing factor. There is also a correlation
with decreased final effluent flows discharged out the ocean outfall as a result of water going to
GWRS.
If chlorine byproducts, and their interactions with the more concentrated solids during periods
of low flow are determined to be significant causes of these changes, staff would recommend
discontinuing effluent disinfection to eventually reverse these adverse effects in the ocean
around our outfall. Such a recommendation would be controversial because some interest
groups believe disinfection prevents beach water contamination, despite evidence to the
contrary.
Goals
• Determine if chlorine is the cause of the decline and changes in animal communities
near the outfall.
• Develop and implement mitigation strategies to reverse the decline.
• Communicate results to regulators and stakeholders and seek approval to cease
chlorine disinfection if shown to be the cause.
Desired Outcomes
• Definitive identification of the source(s) of the decline and changes.
• Successful mitigation of the cause(s).
• Return affected area to reference conditions.
23
Five-Year Strategic Plan Update
November 2011
Leadership of the Future
Should OCSD continue devoting resources toward leadership development
programs to meet future challenges of employee attrition?
Why is this issue important to the District?
During the past year, we have experienced increasing numbers of employees retiring, resulting
in a rapid loss of institutional knowledge. We expect this trend to continue. Currently, fifty-six
percent of all managers and supervisors are eligible to retire. Five year projections indicate that
the retirement eligibility trend will continue.
The Board has indicated that future leadership is important to maintaining service levels and
ensuring our continued success. Building a bench of leaders is an important initiative that helps
meet this challenge of staff attrition.
The retirement impact coincides with plans to reduce the overall number of OCSD management
positions; a direction given by the Board to maintain our financial strength and sustainability.
While these events are complementary, they emphasize the importance of developing a pool of
individuals who possess skillful and competent abilities to be eligible to compete for future
leadership positions. Leadership development efforts can also aid in retaining talent.
Goals
• Apply Workforce Planning Assessments to advanced development efforts.
• Strengthen staffing processes.
• Improve talent management programs.
• Increase accessibility of leadership development programs.
• Support initiatives that provide the essential skills needed to develop successful leaders.
• Ensure programs reinforce core values, promote fairness and equity, and are inclusive and
open to all.
• Partner with other organizations to share resources aimed at leadership development.
Desired outcome
• Enhance and accelerate the development of diverse, dedicated, and talented employees
ready to lead OCSD into the future.

Five-Year Strategic Plan Update
November 2011
Updating the Sewer Service Fee Five-Year Rate Plan
Should OCSD develop a new five-year rate plan in 2013?
Why is this issue important to the District?
Long-term financial planning is critical to meeting the objectives of the District's long-term
strategic plan. In February 2008, the Board approved a five-year rate plan to meet the objectives
of the five-year strategic plan including the design and construction of full secondary treatment
facilities by December 2012 as mandated by the U. S. Court Consent Decree. This rate plan is set
to expire June 30, 2013. As a result, the District will need to establish a new rate plan.
The benefits of implementing a five-year rate plan include the assurance that funding will be
available to support the initiatives contained within the five-year strategic plan. It also provides
our rate payers the ability to plan for future business expenses and personal finances.
Approving a five-year rate plan for sewer service fees is fiscally advisable considering the
preparation and cost of annual public notices to our 550,000 rate payers. Lastly, it provides
sustainability of wastewater collection and treatment services into the future.
Goals
• Identify key stakeholders impacted by sewer service fee rates and develop an outreach
strategy.
• Prepare an updated sewer service fee rate study for the regional and local areas served.
• Utilizing the sewer service fee rate study, update the 10-year forecast.
• Prepare a Proposition 218 Notice which includes sewer service fee rates for the next five years.
• Present the proposed five-year sewer service fee rate schedule to the Board for approval.
Desired outcome
• The establishment of a new five-year sewer service fee rate schedule that balances users
fees, service levels and the use of debt to ensure the sustainability of the Orange County
Sanitation District.

Full-Cost Recovery: Urban Runoff Diversion Program
November 2010
Why is this issue important to the District?
Dry weather urban runoff is contaminated water that is generated from day-to-day activities such as
over-irrigating lawns, washing cars and hosing down driveways. This untreated, bacteria-laden water
flows into storm drains and eventually makes its way to the Pacific Ocean. A 1999 Huntington Beach
closure investigation found this runoff may have caused or contributed to shoreline contamination and
high bacteria levels. As part of a regional best management practice, OCSD agreed to reroute the dry
weather urban runoff from storm water pump stations and storm channels located in the cities of
Huntington Beach and Newport Beach into OCSD's sewer system for treatment.
The Urban Runoff Program began in December 1999 and was formalized in September 2001
with a Board-approved resolution that allowed up to 10 million gallons per day of runoff into the
District's system and waived any fees associated with the approved discharge of urban runoff into
OCSD's sewer system if the total volume of all dry weather urban runoff discharges does not exceed four
million gallons a day. This threshold was established to accommodate the expected volume of runoff
from coastal cities that were experiencing beach contamination problems.
While the program has been successful in reducing beach contamination, OCSD continues to provide
benefits to agencies without fully capturing the cost of delivering this service. As the district moves to
full secondary treatment in 2012, the cost of providing this service will increase. And, in light of the
current economic environment and requirements of Proposition 218, OCSD must review this program
and ensure that our agreements provide full cost recovery from participating agencies.
Goals
• Meet with all affected parties to understand the issues and costs associated with the Urban
Runoff Diversion Program.
• Conduct a comprehensive review of the Urban Runoff Program to delineate the costs and
benefits of moving to a full cost recovery business model.
• Negotiate new agreements that ensure all agencies are paying a fair share for services provided
by the District.
Desired Outcome
• Finalize agreements that are comprehensive and agreeable to all agencies and ensure a fair
share recovery of costs for District services.

Five-Year Strategic Plan Update
November 2011
Providing Ongoing Leadership Development
November 2009
Why is this issue important to the District?
As baby boomers begin to retire in significant numbers over the next five years,the nation's workforce
will begin to experience a shortage in qualified leaders. OCSD will be impacted by this trend as well. For
example, by 2015 around half the current managers and supervisors will be eligible for retirement.
While the District has pursued an aggressive strategy to strengthen and grow future leaders through its
Profession of Management and Leadership Academy programs, this clearly will not be enough.
By next year all management staff will have completed these programs and the Succession Management
program will be fully established. However,these tools are only a foundation and in order to maintain a
world-class organization,the District needs to take its leadership development to the next level. A
broader leadership development program needs to be implemented to identify and train future leaders.
Goals
• Identify key employees that will lead OCSD into the future.
• Define and build upon the essential qualities needed to develop successful leaders for OCSD's
future.These qualities will focus on dealing with change, motivating others, enhancing morale and
promoting productivity and job satisfaction, among others.
• Identify what other organizations are doing and what incentives and training might be needed to
build a talented and stable leadership team.
• Develop a new model for addressing OCSD's operational, environmental regulatory and leadership
priorities in an era of limited resources and greater public scrutiny.
Desired outcome
• Maximize the development of a pool of dedicated and talented employees ready to lead OCSD into
the future.

Assessing and Mitigating the Risks of Chemical Supply Shortages
November 2009
Why is this issue important to the District?
OCSD uses large volumes of several chemicals to mitigate odors, enhance primary settling of solids,
reduce bacteria formation in the activated sludge plants, flocculate solids to enhance dewatering, and
disinfect and then dechlorinate the effluent prior to discharge into the receiving waters.These
wastewater treatment chemicals play a critical role in protecting public health and the environment.
OCSD and other large wastewater treatment agencies require large volumes of chemicals that can only
be provided by one supplier or a very limited number of suppliers. All of these large agencies have also
experienced price increases and chemical shortages in recent years.
Goals
• Investigate the domestic and global chemical markets for typical wastewater and odor chemicals.
• Identify possible causes of disruptions in the chemical supply chain.
• Identify potential temporary suppliers capable and willing to provide chemicals during shortages.
• Identify viable alternative chemicals that can be substituted for current OCSD chemicals during
shortages.
• Identify not only the procurement costs, but the transportations costs, of possible temporary or
alternative chemical procurements.
• Identify quality control assurances of chemicals procured outside the country.
Desired outcome
• Develop a Chemical Sustainability Plan that provides OCSD with options for obtaining wastewater
treatment chemicals during chemical shortages, emergencies or complete stoppages.
29
Five-Year Strategic Plan Update
November 2011
Full-Cost Recovery: External agency agreements
November 2009
Why is this issue important to the District?
The District has several existing agreements with external agencies including the Santa Ana
Watershed Project Authority(SAWPA) and the Irvine Ranch Water District (IRWD) which were originally
signed in the 1970's and 1980's.There are other existing agreements signed between these agencies in
the last 20 years.
When many of these agreements were signed, the District often provided funds and resources to assist
other agencies in improving the water quality and health of the citizens of the watershed. In this pursuit,
OCSD allowed benefits to agencies without fully developing an equitable cost-sharing model. While this
was well-intended and generated results,the District's mission was overly broad. Now,through a series
of more focused efforts, OCSD has developed a mission-specific Strategic Plan with detailed goals and
objectives.
The combination of the District's new enhanced strategic focus, more stringent regulatory
requirements (Federal Clean Water Act secondary treatment standards) and new economic realities
(economic environment in general and requirements of Proposition 218), OCSD must review its external
agreements and ensure that these agreements provide full cost recovery from the agencies with which
it does business.
District staff has already began working with these agencies to ensure the District is recovering the full
costs of services provided.
Goals
• Continue to meet with SAWPA and IRWD staff for consensus or agreement on major issue
resolution.
• Continue to include future planning issues that may impact new agreements.
• When possible, consolidate small agreements into more comprehensive future agreements.
• Negotiate new agreements that ensure all agencies are paying a fair share for services
provided by the District.
Desired outcome
• Finalize agreements that are comprehensive and agreeable to all agencies and ensure a
fair share for District services.

Five-Year Strategic Plan Update
November 2011
Groundwater Replenishment System
November 2008
Why is this issue important to OCSD?
The Orange County Sanitation District (OCSD) has shared in construction costs for Phase 1 of the
Groundwater Replenishment (GWR)System with the Orange County Water District(OCWD), each
agency paying equal shares of 50 percent.The first phase has been constructed to reclaim up to 70
million gallons per day(mgd) of water, and will defer the need for OCSD to construct a new ocean
outfall. Ultimate planning for the GWR System allows for reclaiming up to 130 mgd.The major GWR
System pipelines and other components have been sized to accommodate this expansion; however,the
advanced water purification facilities are sized for 70 mgd. OCSD has not committed additional funding
for expanding the GWR System beyond the present phase.
The GWR System began operation in January 2008, and is presently producing about 45 mgd of product
water, reducing OCSD's ocean discharge flow from 225 mgd to 180 mgd. Completion of the Steven
Anderson Lift Station (formerly Ellis Avenue Pump Station)will increase the amount of treated
secondary effluent (specification water) available to the OCWD, allowing GWR System production to
increase to near 70 mgd.
Goals
• Continue to strive for 104 mgd supply of specification water for reclamation with no planned OCSD
capital cost contribution for expansion of the GWR System;
• Complete construction of Steven Anderson Lift Station in the fourth quarter of FY 2008-09 and
• Continue to study the potential for treating flow from the Santa Ana River Interceptor at
Reclamation Plant No. 1 to increase the supply of specification water for reclamation.
Desired Outcome
• Maximizing the production of GWR System product water to augment and protect the Orange
County groundwater basin with a goal of 70 mgd of product water by the end of FY 2008-09.
31
Five-Year Strategic Plan Update
November 2011
Disinfection of Final Effluent
November 2008
Why is this issue important to OCSD?
OCSD began disinfection of our treated effluent in 2002 in response to two factors:
• concern from the public that our effluent might be the cause or contributing to elevated
bacteria levels in Huntington State Beach and
• ocean monitoring data suggesting that on at least one occasion our effluent plume had come to
within % mile of the Newport Pier.
Since 2002 evidence has shown that OCSD's effluent was not the source of shoreline bacteria in
Huntington Beach and that our plume is not coming to shore and creating a public health concern.
The annual budget for adding chlorine to the effluent for disinfection and sodium bisulfite to remove
most of the chlorine before discharging to the ocean is approximately$7.0 million. Since OCSD's
facilities were not originally designed with disinfection in mind,there are physical constraints to
operating in an efficient manner.
In 2006, staff believed that it was prudent to have an independent review of our disinfection program to
determine if it is meeting the intended purpose of protecting public health in a cost-effective manner
and not increasing risks to the marine environment.The independent review panel was composed of
nine members including a medical doctor, a wastewater engineer, a marine ecologist, a regulator, and a
chemist among others.
Goals
• Through the National Water Research Institute (NWRI), commission a panel of experts to review
OCSD's disinfection program and provide feedback and recommendations;
• Obtain final recommendations from the NWRI Panel on the appropriateness of our current
disinfection program and alternatives that should be considered and
• Develop and implement strategies for responding to the recommendations including demonstration
testing, regulatory approval and outreach to stakeholders.
Desired Outcome
• Cost effective program to sustain protection of public health associated with bacteria
in our effluent.
• Acceptance of any changes to our disinfection program by regulators, public and stakeholders.

Five-Year Strategic Plan Update
November 2011
Environmental Footprint Initiative
November 2008
Why is this issue important to OCSD?
The issue of global climate change is gaining considerable interest from both the public and policy
makers.As a public agency chartered with the mission to protect public health and the environment,
OCSD should demonstrate leadership in this area. Moreover, wastewater operations consume large
amounts of energy and produce green house gases (GHG). Despite the scientific disagreements about
climate change, policy makers are addressing the issue.There are many opportunities for OCSD to also
address these issues and shrink our environmental footprint.
Goals
• Calculation of the environmental footprint of OCSD's facilities;
• Develop outreach materials describing green initiatives undertaken by OCSD;
• Evaluate additional initiatives that the OCSD Board should consider;
• Evaluate information from OCSD's research program on emerging green technologies and
• Maximize the use of renewable fuels (digester gas).
Desired Outcomes
• Greater awareness of OCSD's sustainable initiatives;
• Reduction in OCSD's environmental footprint through immediate greenhouse gas reduction
measures and
• A plan for implementing future sustainable initiatives.
33
Five-Year Strategic Plan Update
November 2011
Updating OCSD's Risk Register
November 2008
Why is this issue important to OCSD?
Many leading organizations are formally applying risk management processes to identify and manage
risks across many aspects of their business.The formalization of risk management processes is a logical
step towards increased accountability and transparency placed on the Board and District management.
In February 2006, strategic level risk assessment and mitigation workshops were completed by OCSD's
Executive Management Team and District Managers. In May 2008,the register was updated to include
additional information and to ensure alignment with current strategic plan.
Assessment of these risks and their potential impacts must be identified, reviewed and mitigated in
alignment with OCSD's Strategic Plan.
Goals
• Identify and assess strategic and organization-wide risks facing OCSD (including technical,
regulatory,financial, and political) and to develop a high level risk register;
• Identify mitigation measures that OCSD currently has in place;
• Propose additional mitigation measures that OCSD considers appropriate to manage;
• Review of risk register to ensure it represents a balanced portfolio of the risks and that the
mitigation strategies are appropriate;
• Develop a plan to monitor the effect of mitigation strategies to ensure that controls are
in place and effective;
• Develop a formal reporting process to the Board that includes possible revisions to the
overall risk profile;
• Develop protocols to provide assurance to stakeholders that in the annual strategic business plan
processes are in place to manage risks organization wide and
• Develop an action plan of responsibilities and timeframes for follow-up.
Desired Outcome
• An update of the Risk Register including mitigation strategies (current and proposed)
responsibilities, and timeframes.

Five-Year Strategic Plan Update
November 2011
Human Resources Strategic Plan
November 2008
Why is this issue important to OCSD?
Human Resources (HR) management has become more complex, evolving from primarily processing
employee transactions to serving as a business partner, change agent and leader.
OCSD's most important asset is its workforce.As a generation of this workforce retires, OCSD must be
prepared to fill vacancies and prepare the next generation for opportunities, including leadership
continuity.
The HR strategic plan provides the focus for HR, the outcomes to be achieved and the associated roles
and competencies needed. It creates clarity for planning and allocating resources.A long-range HR
strategy will assure that actions are aligned with OCSD's overall vision, mission,values, and strategies.
Goals
• Improve HR processes, systems and infrastructure to provide high levels of efficiency, quality,
customer service and cost-effectiveness.
• Develop leading practices in the recruitment, retention and development of our workforce.
• Support and promote the health and well-being of the workforce.
• Foster and maintain a working and learning environment that is inclusive, supportive and
free from discrimination.
• Provide for organizational change initiatives through labor relations program that have been
identified by management to grow a performance-based culture.
• Focus the HR community on the needs of its customers through programs such as recognition and
succession management.
Desired Outcome
• Design, develop,fund and implement HR policies, strategies, practices, systems, and tools to ensure
OCSD has a workforce that meets the future needs of OCSD and the public it serves.

Five-Year Strategic Plan Update
November 2011
Setting OCSD's Level of Service for Biosolids Management
November 2007
Policy Issue for LOS Determination: Recognizing the Board's Resolution (OCSD 06-10)that supports biosolids
reuse and encourages its member agencies to use compost made from biosolids,should OCSD continue to pursue
our beneficial reuse policy or include disposal options for the remaining 1/3 of its non-contractually committed
biosolids production?
Staff Recommendation: OCSD should continue to pursue beneficial reuse of the remaining 1/3 of its biosolids
production.Staff will continue to utilize cost-effective land application reuse options in Kern County and Arizona
for as long as possible (anticipated to be less than five years)while pursuing a biosolids-to-energy alternative for
the balance of its biosolids production.
Analysis: OCSD currently produces 650 tons of biosolids per day, by 2012 when the new secondary treatment
processes are fully operational, biosolids production is projected to increase by approximately 30%to 840 tons per
day.OCSD currently manages its biosolids as follows via two contracts using five options:
24 percent is land applied as Class A biosolids in Kern County($43.07/ton)
• 26 percent is land applied as Class B biosolids in Yuma County,Arizona ($45.44)
• 38 percent is composted to Class A in Kern County($63.09)
• 12 percent is composted to Class A La Paz County,Arizona ($49.74)
3 percent is land filled in Yuma County,Arizona ($45.44)
• In 2003,OCSD adopted the Long-Range Biosolids Master Plan (Plan).The main policy recommendations from
the Plan were:
• Obtain at least three diverse biosolids management options
• Limit participation in any market to one-half of the biosolids produced
Limit contracts to one-third of total biosolids production
• Strive for increased biosolids-based compost use in Orange County
• Since the completion of the Plan,OCSD has entered into two long-term contracts that will service
approximately two-thirds of OCSD's biosolids production
• EnerTech:225 tons/day of biosolids-to-fuel in Rialto($72.40)
(on line 12/08)
• Synagro: 250 tons/day of biosolids composting in Kern County($63.09)
Staff is primarily investigating biosolids-to-energy technologies and markets for the remaining one-third of OCSD's
biosolids production because of our concern that biosolids composting markets are being saturated which could
result in de-valuing of the product, making it non-sustainable.The private sector has already significantly invested
in developing biosolids-to-energy technologies which enables wastewater agencies to participate in proven and
sustainable markets.Staff will also be investigating biosolids management via deep-well injection and methane
production which is currently being evaluated by the City of Los Angeles.
Alternatives: OCSD will pursue long term contracts if possible for non-beneficial reuse landfill disposal.
Cost Implications for the remaining 1/3 of OCSD's biosolids(2007 dollars):
Energy Production: $85/ton—Annual cost=$7.8M
Deep Well Injection: $40/ton—Annual cost=$3.7M
Landfill Disposal: $60/ton—Annual cost=$5.5M

Five-Year Strategic Plan Update
November 2011
Setting OCSD's Level of Service for the GWR System
November 2007
Policy Issue for LOS Determination: The Orange County Sanitation District(OCSD) has shared in construction
costs for Phase 1 of the Groundwater Replenishment(GWR)System with the Orange County Water District
(OCWD),with each agency paying equal shares of 50%. Phase 1 will reclaim up to 70 million gallons per day(mgd)
of water,and will defer the need for OCSD to construct a new ocean outfall estimated at$200 million. Ultimate
planning for the GWR System allows for reclamation up to 130 mgd.The major GWR System pipelines and other
components have been sized to accommodate this expansion; however,the advanced water purification facilities
are sized for 70 mgd.OCSD has not committed additional funding for expanding the GWR System beyond the
present phase.
Staff Recommendation: OCSD will maintain its commitment for Phase 1 of the GWR System.This commitment
for Phase 1 of GWR System includes the following:
• Providing OCWD with secondary effluent to produce 70 mgd of reclaimed water
• Providing 50 percent of capital costs($250 million)for Phase 1
• Providing 50 percent of 0&M costs($500,000 per year)to remove 1,4-Dioxane and NDMA
• In addition to the commitment for Phase 1,staff recommends exploring"low cost"or"no cost"options to
expand water availability for the GWR System, including:
• Revisiting the potential use of the SARI with the Department of Health Services
• Considering grant funding of future sewer diversion projects
Analysis: In 1999,the OCSD Board of Directors(Board)approved Phase 1 of the GWR System, a joint funded
project of OCSD and OCWD.The objective of Phase 1 is to maximize the use of treated effluent for water recycling
and to manage OCSD's peak flow,deferring the construction of a second ocean outfall beyond 2020.
The GWR System is anticipated to be fully operational in November 2007.Currently,OCSD Reclamation Plant No. 1
has sufficient wastewater to allow the GWR System to produce about 55 mgd of reclaimed water for the first year
of operations.When the new Ellis Pump Station is completed in 2009,there will be sufficient flow to operate the
GWR System at its full 70 mgd capacity.
Even though sufficient flows will be available for Phase 1 of the GWR System,the daily low flow period (1:00 am to
8:00 am)will limit water availability for expansion of the System beyond Phase 1.Camp Dresser and McKee(CDM)
has analyzed options to pump additional flows to Plant No.1,segregating reclaimable and non-reclaimable (SAWPA
flows)wastewater streams, and constructing separate treatment plants. In light of the benefits of the current level
of service versus the high costs of making future flow available for the GWR System,staff recommends that OCSD
continue to work with OCWD to study lower cost options to maximize the amount of water that can be reclaimed.
Alternatives: OCSD will be directing all available reclaimable flows to Plant No. 1 to maximize reclamation. In the
future,as OCSD flows increase substantially,staff will recommend implementation of the most feasible and cost-
effective options for increasing the quantity of flow available for reclamation.
Estimated Cost Implications for Future Phases:
• OCSD Diversions and Infrastructure—up to$700 million
• Expansion of OCWD Advanced Water Purification Facilities—about$150 million
• Every$1 million in OCSD expenditures increases single family user rates by$1.13 per year.
37
Five-Year Strategic Plan Update
November 2011
Setting OCSD's Level of Service for Air Quality
November 2007
Policy Issue: OCSD expects the South Coast Air Quality Management District to amend existing
regulations to require significant reductions in common pollutants (smog,visibility impairment)
in December 2007.A secondary public health benefit of this regulation is the reduction in air toxic
emissions.The estimated capital improvement cost to meet the new requirements is$31 million.
• If the new regulations are not approved then OCSD will be required by 2012, under the existing
regulations,to notify all affected residents and business surrounding our facilities of health risks
associated with our emissions.
• OCSD can avoid issuing notifications by proactively installing air pollution control equipment to
reduce the air toxic emissions below the notification level.
Analysis: Currently, State law and the South Coast Air Quality Management District require facilities to
inventory their air toxic emissions and conduct a Health Risk Assessment of the health risk impact of
their emissions to surrounding residents and businesses.
Public notification is required if the cancer risk exceeds 10 in one million and non-cancer risk exceeds 1.
This means that 10 out of 1 million residents exposed to District air emissions, over a 70-year period, can
contract cancer. It is anticipated that after completion of full secondary facilities in 2012, OCSD will
exceed the threshold established by South Coast Air Quality Management District and OCSD will be
required to notify affected communities.
New regulations proposed by the South Coast Air Quality Management District would require OCSD to
make significant reductions in common pollutants.The most technically feasible and lowest cost
solution will be to add air pollution controls to the existing engines, which would provide the added
benefit of reducing air toxic emissions below levels that require public notification.
Alternatives(if the new regulations are not enacted):
• Notify the affected public of the potential health risk from OCSD's toxic air emissions. OCSD would
notify the public via direct mailings to the residents, businesses, and schools followed by public
meetings.The corresponding materials will also be listed on the SCAQMD Web site and, possibly,
printed in local newspapers.
• Add air pollution controls to reduce risk to community below public notification level.
Staff Recommendation: OCSD should apply feasible and cost-effective controls in order to reduce the
air toxic emissions below the health risk notification level to the surrounding community and OCSD
employees.
38
Five-Year Strategic Plan Update
November 2011
Setting OCSD's Level of Service for Odor Control
November 2007
Policy Issue: Thousands of homes surround OCSD's two treatment plants. Under current operating
procedures, OCSD's goal is to contain odor nuisances within our property boundary. Historically, OCSD
based our Level of Service on meeting hydrogen sulfide levels at the exhaust of odor control equipment
within the treatment plant and at the fence line of our property.Through significant study, staff has
determined that hydrogen sulfide is not the best indicator of odor due to the presence of other odorous
compounds.To gauge accurately odor nuisances, OCSD is changing to a scientifically based method of
odor detection to determine accurately the Level of Service it wishes to achieve for communities
surrounding our treatment plants.The Board must then choose the desired LOS.
Analysis: In 2002, OCSD completed the Odor Control Master Plan, which provided specific
recommendations and measures to control and reduce odors. Staff conducted an extensive evaluation
of OCSD facilities by collecting and analyzing odor samples from the plant processing equipment. OCSD
used a panel of 6-8 people, with average olfactory sensitivity,to determine the odor detection
thresholds scientifically based on the number of times the sample needed to be diluted before the
panelist detected odor. Staff then assigned an odor unit to the sample-the higher the number of
dilutions needed to achieve the threshold,the stronger the odor. Staff then fed the data into a
computer model to predict the impact to the community.
With the modeling analyses completed, staff concluded that under normal operation conditions, by
using a guideline of 10 D/T(dilutions to threshold) OCSD would eliminate odor to the surrounding
community. OCSD currently meets a 40-50 D/T,which is 4 to 5 times greater than 10 D/T. After the
currently approved CIP projects are constructed, OCSD is estimated to reach a level of 25-30 D/T(2.5 to
3 times greater than 10 D/T).
Alternatives:
• Adopt a treatment plant LOS of 25-30 dilutions/threshold. LOS will be achieved when the projects
approved in the current CIP are constructed. Design and construct all future projects to a service
level that will keep odors from that project on District property. Staff believes this level is 10 D/T but
case-by-case modeling for the projects will be required.The result is no cost impact to the current
approved CIP.
• Adopt a treatment plant and future project design and construction LOS for odor control of 10
dilutions/threshold (within the fence line of OCSD) and incorporate four additional odor control
projects into the CIP.The result is an increase of$69.6 million to the CIP and $648,000 for 0&M.
Staff Recommendation: Establish OCSD odor standard based on total odor(D/T). Design all new
processes, structures and equipment at the wastewater treatment plants so that odors remain within
treatment plant boundaries. Add two additional odor control projects (Plant 1 trickling filters and Plant 2
biosolids truck loading)to the CIP.The result is an increase of$17.6 million to the CIP and $300,000
annually for O&M. Conduct research on cost-effective alternatives to control odors from the primary
treatment facilities at both plants and report back to the Board on future staff recommendations for any
further odor control.

Proposition 218 Notices for Annual Sewer Service User Fees
November 2007
Proposition 218 was a constitutional initiative governing the establishment of any new taxes, property-
related fees or assessments.This initiative was approved by the state's voters in November 1996 and
applies to each of California's nearly 7,000 cities, counties, special districts, schools, community college
districts, redevelopment agencies, and regional organizations.
In order to raise a new tax, assessment, or property-related fee, or to increase an existing one, local
governments must comply with Proposition 218 regulations.
In general, these requirements are that local governments may use assessments and property-related
fees only to finance projects and services that directly benefit property and that most revenue-raising
measures be approved in an election.
Sewer service user fees are specifically exempted from some of the requirements of Proposition 218.
Most notably,they are exempt from the election requirements, but not the requirement that fees
cannot exceed the reasonable cost of service.
The Board has agreed with staff, however,that we will comply with all of the rest of the requirements,
in a spirit of good governance.A notice of rate changes is mailed to every property owner whenever the
rates are proposed to increase.
Based on the approval to charge for local sewer services, a second (separate) Proposition 218 notice
would be included.The rates are adopted through the ordinance process, and that requires a public
hearing,two Board meetings and a 2/3 majority approval of the Board.
Proposition 218 Notices notify the property owners of the public hearing that coincides with the second
reading of the ordinance. Notices must be mailed to property owners 45 days before the public hearing.
Mailing of Proposition 218 notices requires significant Sanitation District resources and staff time as staff
works with all stakeholders to ensure that notices are printed correctly and mailed to over 550,000
property owners.Additional temporary staff is needed to answer phone calls from customers.
Historically,three OCSD staff and two temporary staff answer phone calls for a minimum of four weeks.
In addition to written responses (including email), phone calls are also noted and tallied by city of
residence.This information is made available to the Directors prior to the public hearing.

CIP Project Manager: Dean Fisher
SUBJECT: Fall Protection Improvements at Plant Nos. 1 And 2, Project No. J-123
GENERAL MANAGER'S RECOMMENDATION
A. Approve a budget increase of $263,000 for Fall Protection Improvements at Plant
Nos. 1 and 2, Project No. J-123, for a total budget of $3,662,000; and,
B. Approve plans and specifications; and,
C. Authorize staff to advertise Invitations for Bid and solicit bids.
SUMMARY
In June of 2010, Bickmore Risk Services & Consulting (BRS) completed a report
identifying potential fall hazards at Plant Nos. 1 and 2. Project No. J-123 was created to
incorporate several smaller fall protection projects and address some of the more urgent
issues identified in the BRS Report. This includes handrail, gates, and other fall
protection devices at both treatment facilities including the primary clarifiers, central
generation facilities, and Steve Anderson Lift Station.
The project was designed in-house by Orange County Sanitation District (Sanitation
District) staff. As the project advanced, it became clear that the addition of safety gates,
handrails, and ship's ladders beyond the original project scope were necessary. Some
of these changes were due to changes to Occupational Safety and Health
Administration guidelines and some were due to work practice safety concerns.
This requested budget increase raises the construction budget from $2,250,000 to
$2,500,000 and provides a project contingency of $250,000 (10%).
PRIOR COMMITTEE/BOARD ACTIONS
February 2011 — Established a budget for Fall Protection Improvements at Plant Nos. 1
and 2, Project No. J-123.
Page 1 of 2
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Several locations in the process areas of Plant Nos. 1 and 2 require fall protection
systems to be improved to enhance worker safety. In some cases, no fall protection
exists and needs to be installed to minimize staff exposure to potential fall hazards.
Staff implements appropriate precautions to ensure worker safety when working in
these areas; however, the installation of active fall protection system would greatly
enhance worker safety, reduce staff costs, and bring the areas in compliance with
OSHA standards. This project incorporates fall protection improvements from several
smaller projects into one larger project in order to save administrative costs and simplify
installation.
During the design process, it was deemed prudent to add some additional safety items
such as more safety gates, handrail and caged ladders. Because of the similar nature
and location of the new work items, adding these items to this project is more efficient
than starting a separate project.
CEQA
A notice of exemption was filed for this project on January 5, 2011.
BUDGET/DELEGATION OF AUTHORITY COMPLIANCE
This request complies with authority levels of the Sanitation District's Delegation of

Page 1 of 3
A Request for Proposal (RFP) which outlined consultant qualification criteria required for
this project was sent to eight engineering firms and seven proposals were received. A
panel consisting of four members of the Sanitation District's staff which included
representatives from Operations, Maintenance and Engineering 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. 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) related
project experience, and (6) schedule. Price was not included in the RFP for evaluation
purposes as required by State law.
Once initial ranking was established, staff also conducted interviews with each of the
top four firms in order to meet the proposed key team members and further evaluate the
firm's proposal. Pursuant to the results of the interview, staff selected Carollo
Engineers as the top-ranked firm as shown in Table 1 .
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.

Proposed Fee
Staff conducted negotiations with Carollo Engineers to clarify the requirements of the
Scope of Work and to establish the final negotiated fee. The fee proposal was
evaluated as it relates to the negotiated Scope of Work and the required level of effort to
complete the project in accordance with the process as set forth in OCSD Resolution
07-04. Elements reviewed include total labor hours and labor-hour distribution by task
as related to the work items, labor overhead rates and profit calculations. These
elements are compared to budgeted amounts, RFP requirements, industry standards,
historical data and Sanitation District guidelines.

SUBJECT: SOUTHWEST COSTA MESA TRUNK, PROJECT NO. 6-19
GENERAL MANAGER'S RECOMMENDATION
A. Approve a Professional Design Services Agreement with Dudek for Southwest
Costa Mesa Trunk, Project No. 6-19, providing for engineering design services for
an amount not to exceed $884,025; and,
B. Approve a contingency of $132,604 (15%).
SUMMARY
This project includes design and construction of a new trunk sewer connecting the west
side of Costa Mesa to Treatment Plant No. 2 located in Huntington Beach.
The Costa Mesa Sanitary District and the City of Newport Beach have nine pumping
stations in this area. These pumping stations need to either be completely replaced or
abandoned. This project will eliminate a capacity shortage in the Sanitation District's
existing Fairview Trunk Sewer and allow the local agencies to abandon nine pump
stations. The avoided Fairview Trunk Sewer project would have cost an estimated
$10.1 million. The proposed Southwest Costa Mesa Trunk Sewer will also increase the
overall system reliability.
The proposed Professional Design Services Agreement (PDSA) includes an alignment
study and an Environmental Impact Report (EIR) which will provide the basis of the
design of the new Southwest Costa Mesa Trunk.
A Request for Proposal (RFP) was sent to eight firms and seven proposals were
received and evaluated by staff. Pursuant to the results of evaluation and negotiations,
staff recommends awarding a PDSA to Dudek as the most qualified consultant for a
total amount not to exceed $884,025, which was determined to be fair and reasonable
for the Scope of Work.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
The evaluation and selection process of the recommended consultant is based on
procedures pursuant to California Government Code requiring the District to select "the
best qualified firm" for architectural and engineering services and to negotiate a "fair and
reasonable" fee with that firm for those services.
An RFP which outlined consultant qualification criteria required for this project was sent
to eight Engineering firms and seven proposals were received. A panel consisting of
five voting members and two advisory members 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. 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) related project
experience, and (6) schedule. Price was not included in the RFP for evaluation
purposes as required by State law.
Once initial ranking was established, staff also conducted interviews with each of the
top five firms to meet the proposed key team members and further evaluate the firm's
proposal. Pursuant to the results of the interview, staff selected Dudek as the top-
ranked firm as shown in Table 1.
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.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
The evaluation and selection process of the recommended consultant is based on
procedures pursuant to California Government Code requiring the District to select "the
best qualified firm" for architectural and engineering services and to negotiate a "fair and
reasonable" fee with that firm for those services.
A Request for Proposal (RFP) which outlined consultant qualifications criteria required
for this project to perform Scope of Work was sent to four architectural firms and four
proposals were received by the Orange County Sanitation District (Sanitation District). A
panel consisting of four members of the Sanitation District's staff which included
representatives from Operations and Engineering 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. 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) related
project experience, and (6) schedule. Price was not included in the RFP for evaluation
purposes as required by State law.
Once initial ranking was established, staff also conducted interviews with each of the
top four firms in order to meet the proposed key team members and further evaluate the
firm's proposal. Pursuant to the results of the interview staff determined HH Fremer
Architects, Inc. was the top-ranked team which met the qualification requirements in the
RFP, as shown in Table 1.
All proposals were accompanied by a sealed fee proposal estimate. The fee proposal
estimates were not opened until the proposals were evaluated and a highest ranked
firm was identified.

Page 1 of 7
Managers
Managers oversee staff within particular divisions and/or workgroups to align
performance outcomes with the strategic goals of the agency. OCSD managers are
unrepresented and meet directly with the General Manager about terms and conditions
of employment. The General Manager recommends wage and benefit changes,
including the opportunity for managers to receive up to a 2% performance-based
increase over this one-year period at a projected cost of up to $53,000, which will be
administered at the discretion of the General Manager. The changes being proposed
also include equity adjustments for two (2) classifications to align current compensation
with the market median, and a commitment by the managers to reconvene at a later
date about a Health Reimbursement Account (HRA).
Confidential Employees
Confidential employees perform duties and responsibilities that support OCSD
management with labor relations. Confidential employees are not represented by a
bargaining unit and meet directly with the General Manager regarding terms and
conditions of employment. Historically, unrepresented confidential employee wages
and benefits have aligned with represented employee wages and benefits.
The General Manager is proposing the following salary and personal leave adjustments
that align with represented employee wages and benefits.
Salaries
• Nonexempt: July 2012 - 0.5% & July 2013 — 2%.
• Exempt: July 2011 — 0.5% & July 2012 — 2%.
Personal Leave
• Increase annual accruals by 6 hours for each year of service over 15 up to 20.
• Increase maximum accumulation of hours by 40 (400 to 440 hours).
Additionally, confidential employees are committed to reconvening at a later date with
the General Manager to discuss a Health Reimbursement Account (HRA).
Executive Management Team
OCSD is committed to maintaining a competitive market position with regards to
compensation to attract and retain top employment candidates. In alignment with that
goal, compensation is evaluated on the basis of various factors including external job
market data and internal parity. For EMT-level classifications, a consultant conducts a
study annually to assess OCSD compensation relative to the market. Those results are
utilized to determine whether OCSD compensation remains competitive.
Page 2 of 7
For the last three years, there have been no changes to compensation for EMT
members and this years' study revealed that most EMT classifications are competitively
compensated. However, the study did reveal that the salaries of two (2) EMT
classifications are substantially below the market median or the mid-range. The
General Manager is therefore proposing the following salary adjustments to ensure
consistently competitive EMT compensation rates.
• Director of Human Resources - Increase compensation by 5%; $7,974 annually.
• Director of Operations & Maintenance - Increase compensation by 5%; $8,235
annually.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Confidential Employees
There are currently fifteen (15) confidential employees at OCSD. Confidential
employees are those employees who, with authorized access, assist and act in a
confidential capacity to and for persons who formulate, determine, and effectuate
management policies with respect to labor relations. Confidential employees hold the
following nonexempt and exempt level classifications:
Nonexempt Classifications
Human Resources Assistant
Program Assistant
Exempt Classifications
Associate Clerk of the Board II
Clerk of the Board
Human Resources Analyst
Senior Human Resources Analyst
Human Resources Supervisor
Secretary to the General Manager
Confidential employees are not represented by a bargaining unit; instead confidential
employees represent themselves as a group in informal discussions with OCSD's
General Manager regarding wages, hours, and other terms and conditions of
employment. The General Manager recommends the following changes:
Page 3 of 7
Salaries
• Nonexempt: In July 2012, adjust classification compensation by 0.5%; in July 2013,
adjust classification compensation by 2%.
• Exempt: In July 2011, adjust classification compensation by 0.5%; in July 2012, adjust
classification compensation by 2%.
The cost of the overall 2.5% increase for confidential employee classifications is
approximately $31,000 over the remaining 2-year period.
Personal Leave
• Increase annual personal leave accruals by 6 hours for each year of service
over 15 up to 20 years of service.
• Increase the maximum accumulation of personal leave hours by 40 (400 to 440
hours).
The annual accrual adjustment impacts four (4) employees at a total cost of
approximately $4,600 over the remaining 2-year period. OCSD does not anticipate an
increase in cost for the maximum accumulation increase based on historical utilization
of leave hours and accrual earning rates.
The proposal for confidential employees also includes a commitment to reconvene with
the General Manager at a later date to discuss a Health Reimbursement Account (HRA)
as an alternative post-employment benefit option. The HRA is a tax-free, defined
contribution account that allows money to be allocated for health insurance
expenditures during retirement.
The new medical plans that took effect July 2011 were also applied to confidential
exempt-level employee classifications. These changes included eliminating the POS
plan, replacing it with a PPO plan, introducing a lower cost HMO plan, and increasing
employee co-payments. Nonexempt confidential employee classifications will be
subject to these changes in July 2012.
In addition, all new confidential employees will be hired to the second tier 1.667% @
57.5 retirement plan with 0.0% employer paid member contribution.
Managers
There are seventeen (17) managers at OCSD who serve as organizational leaders and
oversee staff within particular divisions and/or workgroups to align performance
outcomes with the strategic goals of the agency. The following is a list of the manager
classifications at OCSD:
1. Environmental Compliance/Regulatory Affairs Manager
2. Environmental Lab & Ocean Monitoring Manager
Page 4 of 7
3. Contract & Purchasing Manager
4. Engineering Manager
5. Engineering Manager
6. Facilities Manager
7. Risk Manager
8. Information Technology Systems & Operations Manager
9. Public Affairs Manager
10. Engineering Manager
11. Engineering Manager
12. Operations Manager
13. Accounting Manager
14. Information Technology Manager
15. Engineering Manager
16. Maintenance Manager
17. Controller
OCSD managers are not represented by a bargaining unit; instead they represent
themselves as a group in informal discussions with OCSD's General Manager regarding
wages, hours, and other terms and conditions of employment. The General Manager
proposes the following wage changes:
• The opportunity for managers to receive up to a 2% annual base building increase
over this one-year period at a projected cost of up to $49,000, administered at the
discretion of the General Manager. OCSD would allocate 2% of salaries into a
pool that may be distributed to management employees by Department Heads on
the basis of performance outcomes.
• Equity Adjustments for two (2) manager classifications with compensation that falls
more than 5% below the market median or below the compensation of
classifications that directly report to that manager.
a. Operations Manager - Compensation for this classification would be increased
by 3%. This classification is currently 6.7% below the salary market median. The
annual increase amount would be $4,128.
b. Compliance / Regulatory Affairs Manager - Compensation for this classification
would be increased by 0.53%. The classification is currently 0.53% below the
salary of his direct report. The annual increase amount would be $769.
Additionally, managers intend to reconvene with the General Manager at a later date to
discuss a Health Reimbursement Account (HRA) as an alternative post-employment
benefit option. The HRA is tax-free, defined contribution account that money can be
allocated to for health insurance expenditures during retirement.
Over time, the General Manager has reported to the Board on changes to the manager
group wages and benefits. These include the movement of managers off of the step
system to an open range system for the purpose of controlling the group's labor costs.
Page 5 of 7
th
The manager salary ranges are now pegged against the market median (50
th
percentile), and no longer against the 75 percentile.
Managers were also moved to the new medical plans effective July 2011. These
changes included eliminating the POS plan, replacing it with a PPO plan, introducing a
lower cost HMO plan, and increasing employee co-payments. In addition, all new
managers will be hired to the second tier 1.667% @ 57.5 retirement plan with 0.0%
employer paid member contribution.
In furtherance of the General Manager's Beyond 2012 restructure, two (2) manager
positions have been eliminated, resulting in a fully burdened labor cost savings of
$480,000 annually. This equals approximately $1,920,000 dollars over the next four (4)
years.
Finally, managers have forgone salary increases since 2008 in recognition of difficult
economic times, while contributing to the following significant cost savings over the
same period:
• $5.2M Personnel/Administrative cost reductions
o Eliminated 3 supervisor positions (Lab, Maintenance, HR)
o Eliminated 3 principal positions
• $7M OCWD/IRWD Agreements
• $8M Change in solids rate charges and other adjustments
• $5.7M Chemical optimization — Bleach, Caustic, Chlorides, Acids, Peroxide,
Polymers
• $5.25M Refinance of one-year short term notes
• $6.6M Change order rate control (Roughly $11 M saved in change orders since
2005)
• $4.2M Air quality emission reduction credit sales
• $2.4M Change in utility usage
• $1.65M Owner Controlled Insurance Program (OCIP) savings and rebates
• $1.3M Professional services reductions
• $840K Plan of Secondary Treatment (POST) Cryogenic to LOX
• $755K Workers comp payment reductions
• 500K Federal "Buy America Bonds" ($15M total savings projected over 30-years)
$49.40M Total approximate savings

Executive Management Team
There are currently six (6) EMT members who provide executive leadership, strategic
direction, and department oversight at OCSD. EMT members hold the following
classifications:
Executive Management Team Member Classifications
Director of Facilities Support Services
Assistant General Manager
Director of Human Resources
Director of Operations & Maintenance
Director of Finance & Administrative Services
To determine whether OCSD salaries are competitive with the external job market, the
organization periodically conducts comprehensive classifications and compensation
study for all its classifications. In addition, OCSD conducts classification and
compensation studies, as needed, due to internal and/or external factors, and annually
for EMT-level classifications to determine job market placement. It is OCSD's
philosophy to compensate employee classifications competitively and the median
market position has been sufficient in the current job market to achieve this goal.
Last year, OCSD implemented its Beyond 2012 plan to provide an organizational
framework that aligns strategic, planning, budgeting and resource coordination more
efficiently. The theme of that plan has been "doing more with existing resources". As a
result, OCSD engaged in a comprehensive organization restructure, aligning divisions
and departments, and reallocating staff. These changes resulted in different roles and
responsibilities for EMT members. After the majority of the plan was implemented,
OCSD conducted its annual classification and compensation study regarding EMT-level
classifications to assess comparative job market placement. For the last three years,
EMT-level compensation has remained constant and this year's study revealed that
EMT compensation is competitively aligned with the market median. However, the
study revealed that two (2) classifications are being compensated below the job market
median. Therefore, OCSD has determined the following to be appropriate adjustments
to ensure a competitive market position.
• Director of Human Resources — 5% base building equity adjustment. The
incumbent is currently 14.8% below the salary market median. The annual
increase is $7,974.
• Director Operations & Maintenance — 5% base building equity adjustment. The
incumbent is currently 7.2% below the salary market median. The annual
increase is $8,235.
