Internal Audit Reports: Debt Covenant and Compliance Controls; Sole Source Contracts
in Operations and Maintenance; and Asset Management Program.
SUMMARY
At the direction of the Administration Committee's Audit Oversight Subcommittee,
Lance, Soll & Lunghard, LLP (LSL), Certified Public Accountants were engaged to apply
agreed-upon procedures on the Review of Debt Covenant and Compliance Controls;
Review of Sole Source Contracts in Operations and Maintenance; and Review of the
Asset Management Program. Capital Improvement Program (CIP) Scheduling Process
and Regulatory Compliance Requirements.
Attached are the Accountant Reports from LSL, the Sanitation District's contracted
internal auditors, on these three agreed upon procedure reviews. Also attached is a
separate report on staff's responses to the auditor's findings and recommendations
pertaining to the Asset Management Program review, the only audited report with

In summary, LSL concluded that the Sanitation District is appropriately following its
prescribed policies and procedures over the compliance requirements of its bond
covenants, in managing sole source contracts in Operations and Maintenance, and that
overall, the District has adequate policies and procedures over the Asset Management
Program and that they are functioning as designed. However, LSL able provide several
recommendations for improving the overall effectiveness of the Asset Management
Program.

5. Procedures Performed: We inspected the Sanitation District's filing of the Continuing Disclosure
documents to MSRB's Electronic Municipal Market Access system as defined by Exchange Act
Rule 15c2-12. We documented and tested the controls to ensure that any material event that is
included in Exchange Act Rule 15c2-12 will be identified and disclosed as required. We verified
that all required financial and operating data was properly disclosed in the system.
Findings: No findings were noted as a result of the procedures performed.
Summary of Results
Based on our review of the Sanitation District's debt covenant and compliance internal controls, we
believe that overall, the Sanitation District has adequate procedures and controls in place and they are
functioning as designed. The review was conducted in order to assess and provide feedback to the
Sanitation District regarding the debt covenant and compliance controls.
As noted in the previous section, we performed tests on procedures, conducted inquiries and reviewed
the procedures that have been established by the Sanitation District. We found no exceptions as a result
of our testwork performed.
Conclusion
We were not engaged to, and did not conduct an audit, the objective of which would be the expression of
an opinion on the specified elements, accounts or items. Accordingly, we do not express such an
opinion. Had we performed additional procedures, other matters might have come to our attention that
would have been reported to the Sanitation District.

INDENDENT ACCOUNTANTS' REPORT
ON APPLYING AGREED-UPON PROCEDURES
We have performed the procedures enumerated below which were agreed to by the management of the
Orange County Sanitation District, Fountain Valley, California (Sanitation District), solely to assist the
Sanitation District in evaluating the Asset Management Program. This engagement to apply agreed-upon
procedures was performed in accordance with attestation standards established by the American Institute
of Certified Public Accountants. The sufficiency of the procedures is solely the responsibility of the
management of the Sanitation District. Consequently, we make no representation regarding the
sufficiency of the procedures described below, either for the purpose for which this report has been
requested, or for any other purpose.
The specific procedures performed and the results obtained from the performance were as follows:
Asset Management System Summaries
1. Procedures Performed: We reviewed the asset management system summaries presented in the
FY 2011-12 Asset Management Plan for the following processes: preliminary treatment, primary
treatment, secondary treatment, solid handling, utilities, central power generation system and
ocean outfall. For each summary, we had discussions with the staff involved with the different
processes to determine how the information was compiled and verified the information was
accurate and complete.
Findings: Each asset management system summary includes a failure summary for the different
processes relating to the condition, capacity, function, reliability and efficiency of each. The Asset
Engineers in charge of the different processes are responsible for analyzing and rating this
information based on their own judgment. Instead of relying heavily on the judgment of the
Engineers, we recommend incorporating information contained in the Sanitation District's asset
management software to improve the quality of the information contained in the summaries.
A table which shows the capacity by system is presented in each asset management system
summary which lists out the information for each system or sub-system, the design capacity and
any notes related to the system. The information from this table is derived from the General Plant
Information dated January 1995. Since then, the Sanitation District has undergone some
expansion so the information contained in the document is not the most up-to-date. The Asset
Engineers have done a good job of ensuring the information reported in the FY 2011-12 Asset
Management Plan is the most current, however, this information should agree to the General
Plant Information. We recommend the Sanitation District update the General Plant Information.

Based on our discussions with personnel overseeing the Solids Treatment Process, we
determined that critical assets have not been identified for this process. This is due to a shortage
in personnel. All other processes have already identified critical assets so we recommend the
Sanitation District identify the critical assets for this area. This will also improve the planning for
future capital improvement projects.
During our review of the Solids Treatment and Gas Handling section of the 2009 Facilities Master
Plan, we determined the Plant 2 gas compressor building is not in compliance with current NFPA
820 requirements. We inquired with management and they have addressed this issue. The
Sanitation District is currently in the process of creating of a scope of work to ensure the facility is
in compliance.
For the Collections Service Area 1 Process, we determined that there is currently no review of the
calculations of the amount of feet being reported for each pipe in the asset profile section. The
calculations are done by the Senior Engineer that oversees Collections. In addition, we
recalculated the amount of feet of pipe, capacity of pipe, and the age of the pipe reported and
noted variances. We recommend that someone independent of the Collections System Summary
review the calculations performed by the Senior Engineer.
Scope of Work Elements
2. Procedures Performed: We reviewed the scope of work elements for the following processes of
the Sanitation District: Rehabilitation of Plant 1 Headworks, J-117 Ocean Outfall Rehabilitation,
Rehabilitation of Westminster Ave. Force Main (Second Unit), Rehabilitation of Seal Beach Pump
Station, Rehabilitation of Primary Treatment of Plant 2 and Rehabilitation of Plant 2 Activated
Sludge Plant. For each area, we discussed the different scopes of work with the staff involved to
gain a better understanding.
Findings: Based on the review performed, we determined there were scope of work elements for
only specific processes of the plant. Through inquiry with management, we determined it is the
Sanitation District's future goal to have a separate scope of work element for each different
location of the plant. The objective of the scope of work elements is address all of the work
elements necessary to create a construction package to refurbish the process train or collection
system to meet its level of service for fifteen years without another major project. We recommend
the Sanitation District continue to collect information about the different processes so that the
scope of work elements will be a more comprehensive list.
In addition, we determined that there were multiple scopes of work relating to the same system.
For example, we noted there was a scope of work element for the J-117 Ocean Outfall
Rehabilitation Project and the Ocean Outfall System Improvements. Although these are different
projects, both of these projects relate to the ocean outfall system. We recommend having a more
inclusive list for each area which encompasses all of the scopes of work on one document. This
will help the Sanitation District identify all of the possible issues surrounding the same system on
one form. This will also reduce the amount of capital projects the Sanitation District proposes
each year. In the past, there have been instances when multiple capital projects have been
initiated addressing the same processes but at different times. A scenario like this could end up
costing the Sanitation District extra money. For example, the Sanitation District had two separate
projects for the Ocean Outfall Booster Station Electrical Rehabilitation (Project J-114) and Ocean
Outfall Booster Station Mechanical Rehabilitation (Project J-117). These projects both focused on
the same station. Through further analysis by the Asset Management Program, these projects
have since been combined. However, this issue may have been addressed sooner if the
information was on the same scope of work element.

Asset Management Software
3. Procedures Performed: We inquired with personnel to gain a better understanding of the
Sanitation District's asset management software and how it is used with the Asset Management
Program.
Findings: In the Sanitation District's asset management software, each asset has on-site
inspection information which details out the actual condition of the asset. However, this is a new
procedure the Sanitation District recently implemented so information is not available for every
asset. This is something the Sanitation District is currently working on. They have chosen to
identify the more critical assets first, based on risk and dollar value. In addition, we determined
the current asset management software does not include civil structures since these were not
considered assets in the past.
The Sanitation District is currently in the process of transitioning to a more current and updated
asset management software. The new software will serve more as a comprehensive asset
registry which will have the ability to track asset history including video files, inspection reports,
and maintenance history. This will be a more useful tool to the Sanitation District by improving
data quality.
Internal Control
4. Procedures Performed: We reviewed the policies and procedures of the Asset Management
Division and inquired with personnel to analyze the internal controls in place.
Findings: Based on our discussions with personnel in the Asset Management Division, we
determined that there is one engineer assigned to each process, with the exception of the
following processes: utilities and central power generation system. This is due to a shortage in
personnel. We recommend assigning an engineer that is more specialized in these processes to
improve accountability and improve the planning for managing the assets in those systems.
We further recommend that all engineers be trained in the different processes within the Asset
Management Division. This would be a good internal control to prevent the loss of valuable
information in the event that one of the other engineers leaves the Sanitation District. The
Sanitation District has started to rotate engineers to cross-train them in different processes. This
will allow for knowledge and information to be preserved by the Sanitation District.
Project Assessment
5. Procedures Performed: We inquired with personnel to gain a better understanding of the
Sanitation District's method of project assessment procedures relating to asset management.
Findings: The Asset Management Division was formed in January 2010 in the Engineering
Department and has evolved into a comprehensive decision making framework that
encompasses: (1) engineering and planning; (2) design and construction of quality facilities; and
(3) optimized operations with proper maintenance and planned refurbishment and disposal that
will meet the Sanitation District's needs. Planning and assessing future projects is a big part of
asset management. This requires ongoing analysis and discussion with the Planning Department
as well. As part of the review, we determined the Planning Department and the Asset
Management Division analyze business risk exposure for each project to determine the strategy
for the management of the asset. Currently, the Planning Department and the Asset Management
Division are performing two separate calculations. We recommend only performing one
calculation to prevent duplication of work. Per inquiry with management, we determined this is a
future goal for the Sanitation District with implementation of the new asset management software.

The criticality of an asset is used to determine the strategy for the management of an asset. The
more critical assets should be managed and/or maintained to a higher degree than the less
critical assets. During our review, we determined the Asset Management Division assesses asset
criticality based on the actual condition of the asset which is documented using various factors
including on-site inspections, maintenance history and judgment from engineers which ultimately
factors into the business risk exposure of the asset. However, the Planning Department uses their
own calculation to determine criticality which includes the following factors: business risk
exposure and confidence level rating of the issue. We recommend implementing one uniform way
to assess asset criticality.
Planning is an essential tool for the Sanitation District to determine the status of capital
improvement projects. On an annual basis, managers in the Planning Department work together
with managers from the other departments to discuss the status and future plans for new and
existing capital improvement projects. We feel that asset management plays a large role in this
planning since a lot of the Sanitation District's infrastructure may be affected by it. We
recommend the Asset Management Division and the Planning Department work together more
collaboratively to better analyze future capital projects. This includes using the Asset
Management Division's scope of work elements and information in the asset management
software to determine which assets are more critical.
Summary of Results
Based on our review of the Asset Management Program, we believe that overall, the Sanitation
District has adequate policies and procedures in place and they are functioning as designed. The
review was conducted in order to assess and provide feedback to the Sanitation District regarding the
Asset Management Program.
As noted in the previous sections, we performed tests on procedures, conducted inquiries and
reviewed the procedures that have been established by the Sanitation District. We found certain
exceptions and made recommendations which are mentioned above.
Conclusion
We were not engaged to, and did not conduct an audit, the objective of which would be the
expression of an opinion on the specified elements, accounts or items. Accordingly, we do not
express such an opinion. Had we performed additional procedures, other matters might have come to
our attention that would have been reported to the Sanitation District.

DATE: September 26, 2011
TO: Mike White, Controller
FROM: Robert Thompson, Engineering Manager/Q-T
SUBJECT: Draft Independent Accountants' Report on Agreed-Upon Procedures on the
Asset Management Program, dated September 13, 2011
The following responses are being made to the recommendations that were presented in
the Lance, Soll & Lunghard's Independent Accountants' Report, dated September 13, 2011.
Recommendation No. 1:
Each asset management system summary includes a failure summary for the different
processes relating to the condition, capacity, function, reliability, and efficiency of each. The
Asset Engineers in charge of the different processes are responsible for analyzing and
rating this information based on their own judgment. Instead of relying heavily on the
judgment of the Engineers, we recommend incorporating information contained in the
Sanitation District's asset management software to improve the quality of the information
contained in the summaries.
Response:
We agree with the recommendation. The Sanitation District is beginning to implement an
Enterprise Asset Management Software (EAMS) system. When the system is installed and
properly linked with other operating systems, the information will be used to improve the
quality of the system summaries. The Engineers are entering data into a custom database
module that will be imported into the future EAMS package. Until the EAMS is
implemented, engineering judgment is the best tool for completing the summaries.
Recommendation No. 2
The Asset Engineers have done a good job of ensuring the information reported in the FY
2011-12 Asset Management Plan is the most current, however, this information should
agree with General Plant Information. We recommend the Sanitation District update the
General Plant Information.
Page 2
September 26, 2011
Response:
We agree that our information should be consistent. The General Plant Information sheet
has been phased out. The Facilities Master Plan and Asset Management Plan offer more
detailed and up to date information and will be updated on a regular basis.
Recommendation No. 3
Based on our discussions with personnel overseeing the Solids Treatment Process, we
determined that critical assets have not been identified for this process. This is due to a
shortage in personnel. All other processes have already identified critical assets, so we
recommend the Sanitation District identify the critical assets for this area. This will also
improve the planning for future capital improvement projects.
Response:
We agree with this recommendation. Staff has been shifted to begin work in the solids
treatment process area at Plant 2. The solids treatment areas of Plant 1 are currently being
rehabilitated or replaced by two on-going major capital projects. The Plant 1 facilities will be
addressed more thoroughly at the completion of these projects.
Recommendation No. 4
For the Collections Service Area 1 Process, we determined that there is currently no review
of the calculations of the amount of feet being reported for each pipe in the asset profile
section. The calculations are done by the Senior Engineer that oversees Collections. In
addition, we recalculated the amount of feet of pipe, capacity of pipe, and the age of the
pipe reported and noted variances. We recommend that someone independent of the
Collections System Summary review the calculations performed by the Senior Engineer.
Response:
The discrepancy is noted. The variances in pipe length were very minor. Engineering
Planning staff is working with the Geographic Information Systems analysts in the
Information Technology Division to automate the production of the collection system
summaries, which will be checked by the Collection System engineer. This process
improvement will improve accuracy of the summaries, improve the accuracy of the source
GIS data (since it is being checked by the engineer also), and speed production of future
summaries.

Recommendation No. 5
The objective of the scope of work elements is addressing all of the work elements
necessary to create a construction package to refurbish the process train or collection
system to meet its level of service for fifteen years without another major project. We
recommend the Sanitation District continue to collect information about the different
processes so that the scope of work elements will be a more comprehensive list.
Response:
We agree. This work is on-going.
Recommendation No. 6
Findings: Based on our discussions with personnel in the Asset Management Division, we
determined that there is one engineer assigned to each process, with the exception of the
following processes: utilities and central power generation system. This is due to a
shortage in personnel. We recommend assigning an engineer that is more specialized in
these processes to improve accountability and improve the planning for managing the
assets in those systems.
We further recommend that all engineers be trained in the different processes within the
Asset Management Division. This would be a good internal control to prevent the loss of
valuable information in the event that one of the other engineers leaves the Sanitation
District. The Sanitation District has started to rotate engineers to cross-train them in
different processes. This will allow for knowledge and information to be preserved by the
Sanitation District.
Response:
We concur with this recommendation. However, Engineering Planning Management and
Supervision will continue to compete for engineering resources to support improved asset
management analysis and planning for Sanitation District utility systems and power
generation facilities.
Engineering staff will be rotated into and out of the Engineering Planning asset group from
other divisions and the Engineering Planning staff members will be rotated within the
division to new areas to diversify the asset knowledge base.
Recommendation No. 7
As part of the review, we determined the Planning Division and the Asset Management
Division analyze business risk exposure for each project to determine the strategy for the
management of the asset.
Page 4
September 26, 2011
Currently, the Planning Division and the Asset Management Division are performing two
separate calculations. We recommend only performing one calculation to prevent
duplication of work. Per inquiry with management, we determined this is a future goal for
the Sanitation District with implementation of the new asset management software.
Response:
We agree with this recommendation. The Engineering Planning Division and Asset
Management Division have been merged. The new Engineering Planning Division will unify
the business risk calculation method and standardize it in the EAMS.
Recommendation No. 8
However, the Planning Division uses their own calculation to determine criticality, which
includes the following factors: business risk exposure and confidence level rating of the
issue. We recommend implementing one uniform way to assess asset criticality.
Response:
We agree with this recommendation. The Engineering Planning Division and Asset
Management Division have been merged. The new Engineering Planning Division will unify
the asset criticality calculation method and standardize it in the EAMS.
Recommendation No. 9
We recommend the Asset Management Division and the Planning Division work together
more collaboratively to better analyze future capital projects. This includes using the Asset
Management Division's scope of work elements and information in the asset management
software to determine which assets are more critical.
Response:
We agree with this recommendation. The Engineering Planning Division and Asset
Management Division have been merged. The new Engineering Planning Division will unify
the asset criticality calculation method and standardize it in the EAMS.

FROM: James D. Ruth, General Manager
Originator: Lorenzo Tyner, Director, Finance and Administrative Services
SUBJECT: VAX EMULATOR FOR PROCESS CONTROL SYSTEM,
MODERNIZATION & SECURITY IMPROVEMENTS PROJECT
GENERAL MANAGER'S RECOMMENDATION
A. Establish the Charon-VAX product as Orange County Sanitation District's standard
for VAX emulators and;
B. Award a contract to Quayle Consulting, Inc. for the purchase of Charon-VAX/XL
Permanent Licenses and Maintenance, Specification No. S-2011-504, for a period of
one year in an amount not to exceed $292,217.
SUMMARY
The Operations and Maintenance Department utilizes the Supervisory Control and Data
Acquisition (SCADA) System to provide plant monitoring, automation, and control. The
SCADA is a mission critical system used by Operations to monitor and control the day-
to-day operations of the plant.
The software that OCSD utilizes for its SCADA System runs on specialized computer
hardware. The computers and replacement parts are no longer produced and OCSD
has relied on used and refurbished parts to maintain the computer hardware. Such
equipment is now very scarce and difficult and costly to procure.
The CHARON-VAX emulator software enables OCSD to use the existing SCADA
applications and process control software on modern computer equipment.
PRIOR COMMITTEE/BOARD ACTIONS
N/A
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
OCSD has invested millions of dollars in developing our current process control
software. In order to preserve this investment, a solution is needed to replace the
obsolete computer hardware. In February 2010, Operations and Maintenance
Page 1 of 2
commissioned a study to recommend a software solution that will resolve this
predicament. The "VAX Emulation Product Study" was performed by DLT&V Systems
Engineering and recommended the Charon-VAX product. Based on this study, two sole
source procurements for software licenses were awarded through the CIP process in
the amount of $83,475 to Quayle Consulting. The software was tested in the new Plant
No. 2 Headworks Replacement Project subsystem (Job No. P2-66). The test was
considered a success and two additional licenses were bid and awarded to Quayle
Consulting through the CIP process in the amount of $30,400 and used in the Plant
No.1 Activated Sludge Facility 2 subsystem (Job No. P1-102).
Additional licenses have now been bid through Information Technology under
Specification No. S-2011-504 as part of the Process Control System, Modernization &
Security Improvements project. These licenses will complete the installation of this
software for the entire process control system. By eliminating the current obsolete
hardware, staff will be able to extend the life of our high-value software configuration,
thereby delaying the complete replacement of the current SCADA system by several
years. An entire SCADA system replacement typically cost $40-50 million.
Below is the tabulated bid result. Quayle Consulting, Inc. was the lowest responsive
and responsible bidder.

FROM: James D. Ruth, General Manager
Originator: Lorenzo Tyner, Director of Finance and Administrative
Services
SUBJECT: IMPLEMENTATION OF IBM-MAXIMO ENTERPRISE ASSET
MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
GENERAL MANAGER'S RECOMMENDATION
A. Approve a purchase contract with Total Resource Management, Inc. (TRM, Inc.) for
Phase 1 of the Implementation of IBM-Maximo Enterprise Asset Management
System, Specification No. CS-2011-499BD, for an amount not to exceed of
$327,638;
B. Approve a contingency in the amount of $32,763 (10%); and,
C. Authorize the General Manager to select from proposers TRM Inc., EMA or
Starboard to negotiate and obtain the best value for the implementation of
subsequent phases of Specification No. CS-2011-499BD to meet work requirements
as identified by the I.T. Division.
SUMMARY
The current Computerized Maintenance Management System (CMMS) software is used
by Operations & Maintenance staff to manage plant and sewer assets, plan/schedule
and perform work order management activities, and track/monitor maintenance related
regulatory issues. The software is obsolete and no longer supported.
The Orange County Sanitation District (OCSD) currently owns the IBM-Maximo
Enterprise Asset Management (Maximo) software that will replace the current CMMS
software. A Request for Proposal (RFP) was advertised for the initial phase of
implementing Maximo. Based on the overall qualifications and expertise, staff
recommends awarding a purchase contract to TRM, Inc. for a total amount not to
exceed $327,638. The subsequent phases of the implementation project will be
identified in the planning and review process contained in Phase 1. The top scoring
firms identified during the RFP process will be qualified to propose on subsequent
phases.

PRIOR COMMITTEE/BOARD ACTIONS
July 2008 — Awarded a purchase contract to TCS America, a division of TATA America
International Corporation, for installation & Implementation of IBM-Maximo
Computerized Maintenance Management System.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
TCS America started their implementation effort in August, 2008. Although they were
able to perform a number of technical tasks, they were unable to complete the project
due to inadequate staffing and leadership on their part. As a result of these issues, the
initial implementation effort failed and the contract expired in July 2010.
Under the Beyond 2012 initiative, the project's scope has extended beyond the
replacement of CMMS and now includes OCSD's entire asset management
program. Maximo will become an integral component throughout all the OCSD
business units and will be implemented and configured to improve efficiency throughout
the enterprise. In order to minimize the project risks, the project has been divided into
multiple phases. The initial phase will engage the vendor solely for the planning and
review process. The subsequent phases will be identified by OCSD following the
completion of this initial phase. OCSD will have the option of using the qualified firms to
propose on such subsequent phases.
On June, 16, 2011, OCSD issued a Request for Proposal (RFP) and on July 27, 2011,
eleven proposals were received from the following vendors:
( Total Resource Management, Inc. (TRM, Inc.)
( EMA Group
( Starboard
( Interloc
( Aquitas Solutions
( Genesis
( IBM
( Raintek/Gems
( Rentflow

Orange County Sanitation District
FROM: James D. Ruth, General Manager
Originator: Lorenzo Tyner, Director of Finance and Administrative Services
GENERAL MANAGER'S RECOMMENDATION
A. Adopt Resolution No. OCSD 11-XX, Authorizing the Execution and Delivery by the
Orange County Sanitation District (Sanitation District) of an Installment Purchase
Agreement, a Trust Agreement, and a Continuing Disclosure Agreement in
connection with the execution and delivery of the Sanitation District Revenue
Refunding Certificate Anticipation Notes, Series 2011 B, such Notes Evidencing
Principal in an Aggregate Amount of Not to Exceed $155,000,000, Approving a
Notice of Intention to Sell, Authorizing the Distribution of a Notice Inviting Bids and
an Official Statement in Connection with the Offering and Sale of such Notes and
Authorizing the Execution of Other Necessary Documents and Related Actions; and,
B. Recommend to the Orange County Sanitation District Financing Corporation
approve the documents supporting and authorizing the Revenue Refunding
Certificate Anticipation Notes, Series 2011 B in an amount not to exceed
$155,000,000.
SUMMARY
In September 2011 , the Administration Committee and the Board of Directors
authorized the execution and delivery of up to $155 million of Refunding Certificates of
Participation.
The Board of Directors and the Financing Corporation will each be required to adopt
separate Resolutions to complete this refinancing. Drafts of these two Resolutions are
attached for review. A Financing Corporation is required by the structure of the COPs
and was formed in April 2000, to satisfy this need. The Board of Directors of the
Corporation is the same as the Board of Directors of the Sanitation District and the
Corporation meets after an adjournment of the Orange County Sanitation Board.
The Sanitation District Resolution authorizes the execution and delivery of certain legal
documents and the execution and delivery of Revenue Refunding Certificate
Anticipation Notes, Series 2011 B, evidencing principal in an aggregate amount of not to
exceed $155,000,000.

PRIOR COMMITTEE/BOARD ACTIONS
September 28, 2011 — Directed staff to pursue up to $155 million in one-year fixed-rate
Certificates of Participation (COP) notes to replace the one-year $157.4 million
outstanding certificates of participation notes maturing in November 2011.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
The global financial crisis in 2008 had negatively impacted the financial strength and
ratings of many financial institutions that provide bank liquidity facilities securing
variable rate bonds issued by municipal entities. Variable rate issues secured by banks
with the least favorable investor perception had experienced higher than expected
interest rate resets as investors were less willing to hold bonds secured by these
weakening banks. In many cases, investors had tendered the bonds to the banks
(Bank Bonds) to preempt any possibility of the liquidity bank not being able to provide
funds in the future.
In addressing the global financial crisis and uncertainty in the market place, the
Sanitation District eliminated its exposure to higher reset rates and Bank Bonds
associated with its outstanding Certificates of Participation (COP), Series 2006 variable
rate debt by refunding it with the one-year Certificate Anticipation Notes (CANs) Series
2008C. As this CANs issue matured, they have been replaced with one-year CANs
annually thereafter. Following is a summary of the results of each CAN issue:
( In November 2010, the Sanitation District replaced the maturing one-year 2009B
CANs with $157.4 million of Revenue Refunding Certificate Anticipation Notes,
Series 2010B (the 2010B CANs). The yield on the 2010B CANs is 0.36% for the
one-year period ending November 23, 2011 and the all-in cost was 0.53%
( In December 2009, the Sanitation District replaced the maturing one-year 2008C
CANs with $165.865 million of Revenue Refunding Certificate Anticipation Notes,
Series 2009B (the 2009B CANs). The yield on the 2009B CANs was 0.37% for
the one-year period ending December 1, 2010 and the all-in cost was 0.56%.
( In December 2008, the Sanitation District proactively refunded the 2006 COPs
with $176.115 million of Refunding COP Series 2008C Certificate Anticipation
Notes (the 2008C CANs) to reduce its exposure to higher variable rate costs.
The yield on the 2008C CANs was 0.98% for a one-year period. The issuance of
the 2008C CANs allowed the Sanitation District to redeem the 2006 COPs at an
all-in cost of less than 1.25% and avoid paying a bank rate of 4.75% which would
have been effective starting in January 2009.
Staff has again recommended refunding the 2010B CANs with a new one-year CAN
that will again enable the Sanitation District to lock-in a low rate for approximately one
year without encumbering its cash reserves. Given the size and structure, these CANs
can be sold on a competitive basis in order to obtain the lowest interest rate possible.

The Board of Directors and the Financing Corporation will each be required to adopt
separate Resolutions to complete this refinancing. Drafts of these two Resolutions are
attached for review. A Financing Corporation is required by the structure of the COPs
and was formed in April 2000, to satisfy this need. The Board of Directors of the
Corporation is the same as the Board of Directors of the Sanitation District and the
Corporation meets after an adjournment of the Sanitation District Board.
The Sanitation District Resolution authorizes the execution and delivery of certain legal
documents and the execution and delivery of Revenue Refunding Certificate
Anticipation Notes, Series 2011 B, evidencing principal in an aggregate amount of not to
exceed $155,000,000 all as spelled out in the title as follows:
A RESOLUTION OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF THE ORANGE COUNTY
SANITATION DISTRICT AUTHORIZING THE EXECUTION AND DELIVERY BY THE
SANITATION DISTRICT OF AN INSTALLMENT PURCHASE AGREEMENT, A TRUST
AGREEMENT, AND A CONTINUING DISCLOSURE AGREEMENT IN CONNECTION
WITH THE EXECUTION AND DELIVERY OF THE SANITATION DISTRICT REVENUE

THE DISTRIBUTION OF A NOTICE INVITING BIDS AND AN OFFICIAL STATEMENT
IN CONNECTION WITH THE OFFERING AND SALE OF SUCH NOTES, AND
AUTHORIZING THE EXECUTION OF OTHER NECESSARY DOCUMENTS AND
RELATED ACTIONS."
The Resolution of the Corporation is somewhat shorter and simpler. It authorizes three
actions that are similarly enumerated in the title as follows:
"A RESOLUTION OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF THE ORANGE COUNTY
SANITATION DISTRICT FINANCING CORPORATION AUTHORIZING THE
EXECUTION AND DELIVERY BY THE CORPORATION OF AN INSTALLMENT

determining any percentage of Notes Outstanding hereunder, but both the original and
replacement Note shall be treated as one and the same. Notwithstanding any other provision of
this Section, in lieu of executing and delivering a new Note for a Note which has been lost,

Book-Entry Note registered in the name of the Nominee shall be made on the Maturity Date by
wire transfer of New York clearing house or equivalent next day funds or by wire transfer of
same day funds to the account of the Nominee. Such payments shall be made to the Nominee at
the address which is, on the Record Date, shown for the Nominee in the registration books
maintained by the Trustee.
(b) With respect to Book-Entry Notes, the District, the Corporation and the Trustee
shall have no responsibility or obligation to any Participant or to any Person on behalf of which
such a Participant holds an interest in such Book-Entry Notes. Without limiting the immediately
preceding sentence, the District, the Corporation and the Trustee shall have no responsibility or
obligation with respect to (i) the accuracy of the records of the Depository, the Nominee or any
Participant with respect to any ownership interest in Book-Entry Notes, (ii)the delivery to any
Participant or any other Person, other than an Owner as shown in the registration books
maintained by the Trustee, of any notice with respect to Book-Entry Notes, (iii) the selection by
the Depository and its Participants of the beneficial interests in Book-Entry Notes to be prepaid
in the event Notes are prepaid in part, (iv) the payment to any Participant or any other Person,
other than an Owner as shown in the registration books maintained by the Trustee, of any
amount with respect to principal or interest evidenced by Book-Entry Notes, or (v) any consent
given or other action taken by the Depository as Owner.
(c) The District, the Corporation and the Trustee may treat and consider the Person in
whose name each Book-Entry Note is registered in the registration books maintained by the
Trustee as the absolute Owner of such Book-Entry Note for the purpose of payment of principal
and interest evidenced by such Note, for the purpose of selecting any Notes, or portions thereof,
to be prepaid, for the purpose of giving notices of matters with respect to such Note, for the
purpose of registering transfers with respect to such Note, for the purpose of obtaining any
consent or other action to be taken by Owners and for all other purposes whatsoever, and the
District, the Corporation and the Trustee shall not be affected by any notice to the contrary.
(d) Reserved.
(e) The Trustee shall pay all principal and interest evidenced by the Notes to the
respective Owner, as shown in the registration books maintained by the Trustee, or his respective
attorney duly authorized in writing, and all such payments shall be valid and effective to fully

95196426.5 11

in the registration books maintained by the Trustee, shall receive a Note evidencing principal and
interest evidenced by the Notes. Upon delivery by the Depository to the Owners, the Trustee and
the District of written notice to the effect that the Depository has determined to substitute a new
nominee in place of the Nominee, and subject to the provisions herein with respect to Record
Date, the word Nominee in this Trust Agreement shall refer to such nominee of the Depository.
(f) To qualify the Book-Entry Notes for the Depository's book-entry system, the
District shall execute and deliver to the Depository a Letter of Representations. The execution
and delivery of a Letter of Representations shall not in any way impose upon the Corporation,
the District or the Trustee any obligation whatsoever with respect to Persons having, interests in
such Book-Entry Notes other than the Owners, as shown on the registration books maintained by
the Trustee. Such Letter of Representations may provide the time, form, content and manner of
transmission, of notices to the Depository. In addition to the execution and delivery of a Letter
of Representations by the District, the District, the Corporation and the Trustee shall take such
other actions, not inconsistent with this Trust Agreement, as are reasonably necessary to qualify
Book-Entry Notes for the Depository's book-entry program.
(g) If the District determines that it is in the best interests of the Beneficial Owners
that they be able to obtain certificated Notes and that such Notes should therefore be made
available and notifies the Depository and the Trustee of such determination, the Depository will
notify the Participants of the availability through the Depository of certificated Notes. In such
event, the Trustee shall transfer and exchange certificated Notes as requested by the Depository
and any other Owners in appropriate amounts. If(i)the Depository determines not to continue to
act as securities depository for Book-Entry Notes, or (ii) the Depository shall no longer so act
and gives notice to the Trustee of such determination, then the District shall discontinue the
Book-Entry system with the Depository. If the District determines to replace the Depository
with another qualified securities depository, the District shall prepare or direct the preparation of
a new single, separate, fully registered Note for such Book-Entry Notes, registered in the name
of such successor or substitute qualified securities depository or its nominee. If the District fails
to identify another qualified securities depository to replace the Depository, then the Notes shall
no longer be restricted to being registered in the registration books maintained by the Trustee in
the name of the Nominee, but shall be registered in whatever name or names the Owners
transferring or exchanging such Notes shall designate, in accordance with the provisions of
Sections 2.06 and 2.09 hereof. Whenever the Depository requests the District to do so, the
District will cooperate with the Depository in taking appropriate action after reasonable notice
(i)to make available one or more separate certificates evidencing the Book-Entry Notes to any
Participant having Book-Entry Notes credited to its account with the Depository, and (ii) to
arrange for another securities depository to maintain custody of certificates evidencing the Book-
Entry Notes.
(h) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Trust Agreement to the contrary, if
DTC is the sole Owner of the Notes, so long as any Book-Entry Note is registered in the name of
the Nominee, all payments of principal and interest evidenced by such Note and all notices with
respect to such Note shall be made and given, respectively, as provided in the Letter of
Representations or as otherwise instructed by the Depository.
95196426.5 12

pursuant to the Trust Agreement by the District, the Corporation or the Trustee, with respect to
any consent or other action to be taken by Owners, the Trustee shall establish a record date for
such consent or other action and give the Depository notice of such record date not less than 15
calendar days in advance of such record date to the extent possible. Notice to the Depository
shall be given only when DTC is the sole Owner of the Notes.

would not, pursuant to section 149(b) of the Code and the Tax Regulations and rulings
thereunder, adversely affect the exclusion pursuant to section 103(a) of interest on the Notes
from the gross income of the owners thereof for federal income tax purposes, the District will not

Code because such transaction results in a smaller profit or a larger loss than would have resulted
if the transaction had been at arm's length and had the yield on the Notes not been relevant to
either party.

or the Notes are or will become"hedge bonds"within the meaning of section 149(g) of the Code.

representations made by other governmental persons upon the issuance of those obligations) that
within the three-year period commencing on such date no less than 85% of the spendable
proceeds of that issue would be expended for the governmental purposes thereof and (B) the
District believes and represents that at no time has more than 50% of the proceeds of that issue
been invested in Nonpurpose Investments having a substantially guaranteed yield for a period of
four years or more, and with respect to the application of Proceeds of the Notes other than for
refunding purposes, (ii)(A) the District will not deliver the Notes unless on the date of the
95196426.5 19
issuance of the Notes it reasonably expects that within the three-year period commencing on
such date of issuance at least 85% of such spendable proceeds of the Notes will be expended for
the governmental purpose of the Notes and (B) at no time will more than 50% of such spendable
proceeds of the Notes be invested in Nonpurpose Investments having a substantially guaranteed
yield for a period of four years or more.

Representative to make elections permitted or required pursuant to the provisions of the Code or
the Tax Regulations, as such Authorized Representative (after consultation with Bond Counsel)
deems necessary or appropriate in connection with the Notes, in the Tax Certificate relating to
the Notes or similar or other appropriate certificate, form or document.
(k) Tax Certificate. The District agrees to execute and deliver in connection with the
execution and delivery of the Notes a Tax Certificate as to Arbitrage and the Provisions of
Sections 141-150 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, or similar document containing

the Notes from the gross income of the owners thereof for federal income tax purposes (the "Tax
Certificate"), which representations and covenants are incorporated as though expressly set forth
herein.
Section 6.09. Continuing Disclosure. The District will comply with and carry out all of
the provisions of the Continuing Disclosure Agreement applicable to it. Notwithstanding any
other provision of this Trust Agreement, failure of the District to comply with the Continuing
Disclosure Agreement shall not be considered an Event of Default; provided, however, the
Trustee, at the request of any Participating Underwriter or the Owners of at least 25% aggregate
principal amount of Outstanding Notes and upon being indemnified to its reasonable satisfaction,
shall, or any Owner or Beneficial Owner of Notes may take such actions as may be necessary
and appropriate to compel performance, including seeking mandate or specific performance by
court order.
Section 6.10. Further Assurances. The District will promptly execute and deliver or
cause to be executed and delivered all such other and further assurances, documents or
instruments and promptly do or cause to be done all such other and further things as may be
necessary or reasonably required in order to carry out the purposes and intentions of this Trust

enforce any of the rights vested in the Trustee or the Owners by this Trust Agreement, the Notes,
the Installment Purchase Agreement or the Master Agreement, either at law or in equity or in
bankruptcy or otherwise, whether for the specific enforcement of any covenant or agreement or
for the enforcement of any other legal or equitable right, including any one or more of the
remedies set forth in Section 7.02 hereof.
Section 7.02. Other Remedies of the Trustee. Subject to the provisions of Section 7.01
hereof, the Trustee shall have the right:
(a) by mandamus or other action or proceeding or suit at law or in equity to enforce
its rights against the Corporation or the District or any member, director, officer or employee
thereof, and to compel the Corporation or the District or any such member, director, officer or
employee to perform or carry out its or his or her duties under law and the agreements and
covenants required to be performed by it or him or her contained herein;
(b) by suit in equity to enjoin any acts or things which are unlawful or violate the
rights of the Trustee; or
(c) by suit in equity upon the happening of any Event of Default hereunder to require
the Corporation and the District to account as the trustee of an express trust.
Section 7.03. Non-Waiver. A waiver of any default or breach of duty or contract by the
Trustee or the Owners shall not affect any subsequent default or breach of duty or contract or
impair any rights or remedies on any such subsequent default or breach of duty or contract. No
delay or omission by the Trustee or the Owners to exercise any right or remedy accruing upon
any default or breach of duty or contract shall impair any such right or remedy or shall be
construed to be a waiver of any such default or breach of duty or contract or an acquiescence
therein, and every right or remedy conferred upon the Trustee or the Owners by law or by this
Article may be enforced and exercised from time to time and as often as the Trustee shall deem
expedient.
If any action, proceeding or suit to enforce any right or to exercise any remedy is
abandoned or determined adversely to the Trustee or any Owner, then subject to any adverse
determination, the Trustee, such Owner, the Corporation and the District shall be restored to their
former positions, rights and remedies as if such action, proceeding or suit had not been brought
or taken.
Section 7.04. Remedies Not Exclusive. Subject to the provisions of Section 7.01
hereof, no remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Trustee is intended to be exclusive of
any other remedy, and each such remedy shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every
other remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing in law or in equity or by statute or
95196426.5 21
otherwise and may be exercised without exhausting and without regard to any other remedy
conferred by any law. The assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or
otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent or subsequent assertion or employment of any other
appropriate right or remedy.
Section 7.05. Application of Amounts After Default. All damages or other payments
received by the Trustee for the enforcement of any rights and powers of the Trustee under this
Article shall be deposited into the Installment Payment Fund and as soon as practicable thereafter
applied:
(a) to the payment of all amounts due the Trustee under Section 8.03 hereof,
(b) unless the unpaid Installment Payment, and the interest thereon, shall have
become, and shall remain, immediately due and payable pursuant to the Master Agreement:
(i) to the payment of all amounts then due for interest evidenced by the
Notes, in respect of which, or for the benefit of which, money has been collected (other
than Notes which have become payable prior to such Event of Default and money for the
payment of which is held by the Trustee), ratably without preference or priority of any
kind, according to the amounts of interest evidenced by such Notes due and payable; and
(ii) to the payment of all amounts then due for principal evidenced by the
Notes, in respect of which, or for the benefit of which, money has been collected (other
than Notes which have become payable prior to such Event of Default and money for the
payment of which is held by the Trustee), ratably without preference or priority of any
kind, according to the amounts of principal evidenced by such Notes due and payable.
(c) if the unpaid Installment Payment, and the interest thereon, shall have become,
and shall remain, immediately due and payable pursuant to the Master Agreement, to the
payment of all amounts then due for principal and interest evidenced by the Notes and, if the
amount available therefor shall not be sufficient to pay in full the whole amount so due and
unpaid, then to the payment thereof ratably, without preference or priority of principal over
interest, or of interest over principal, or of any installment of interest over any other installment
of interest, or of any Note over any other Note, to the persons entitled thereto without any
discrimination or preference.
Section 7.06. Trustee May Enforce Claims Without Possession of Notes. All rights
of action and claims under this Trust Agreement or the Notes may be prosecuted and enforced by
the Trustee without the possession of any of the Notes or the production thereof in any
proceeding relating thereto, and any such proceeding instituted by the Trustee shall be brought in
its own name as trustee of an express trust, and any recovery of judgment shall, after provision
for the payment of the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the
Trustee, its agents and counsel, be for the ratable benefit of the Owners of the Notes in respect of
which such judgment has been recovered.
Section 7.07. Limitation on Suits. No Owner shall have any right to institute any
proceeding,judicial or otherwise, with respect to this Trust Agreement, or for the appointment of
a receiver or trustee, or for any other remedy hereunder, unless (a) such Owner shall have
95196426.5 22
previously given written notice to the Trustee of a continuing Event of Default hereunder, (b)the
Owners of not less than a majority of the aggregate principal evidenced by Notes then
Outstanding shall have made written request to the Trustee to institute proceedings in respect of
such Event of Default in its own name as Trustee hereunder, (c) such Owner or Owners shall
have afforded to the Trustee indemnity reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee against the costs,
expenses and liabilities to be incurred in compliance with such request, (d) the Trustee for 60
days after its receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity shall have failed to institute

more Owners of Notes shall have any right in any manner whatever by virtue of, or by availing
of, any provision of this Trust Agreement to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of any other
Owner of Notes, or to obtain or seek to obtain priority or preference over any other Owner or to
enforce any right under this Trust Agreement, except in the manner herein provided and for the
equal and ratable benefit of all the Owners of Notes.

provided herein, the Corporation shall not have any obligation or liability to the Owners with
respect to the payment when due of the Installment Payment, and the interest thereon, by the
District, or with respect to the performance by the District of the other agreements and covenants

Agreement or herein, or with respect to the performance by the Trustee of any right or obligation
required to be performed by it contained herein.
Section 7.09. No Liability by the District to the Owners. Except for the payment
when due of the Installment Payment, and the interest thereon, and the performance of the other
agreements and covenants required to be performed by it contained in the Installment Purchase

to the Owners with respect to this Trust Agreement or the preparation, execution, delivery or
transfer of the Notes or the disbursement of the Installment Payment, and the interest thereon, by
the Trustee to the Owners, or with respect to the performance by the Trustee of any right or
obligation required to be performed by it contained herein.

ARTICLE VIII
THE TRUSTEE
Section 8.01. Employment of the Trustee, Duties. The Corporation and the District
hereby appoint and employ the Trustee to receive, deposit and disburse the Installment Payment,
and the interest thereon, to prepare, execute, deliver and transfer the Notes and to perform the
95196426.5 23
other functions contained herein, all in the manner provided herein and subject to the conditions
and terms hereof By executing and delivering this Trust Agreement, the Trustee accepts the
appointment and employment hereinabove referred to and accepts the rights and obligations of
the Trustee provided herein, subject to the conditions and terms hereof. Other than when an
Event of Default hereunder has occurred and is continuing, the Trustee undertakes to perform
such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Trust Agreement, and no
implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Trust Agreement against the Trustee. In
case an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Trustee shall exercise such of the
rights and powers vested in it by this Trust Agreement, and use the same degree of care and skill
in their exercise, as a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the
conduct of such person's own affairs.
Section 8.02. Removal and Resignation of the Trustee. The Corporation and the
District may, by an instrument in writing, remove the Trustee initially a party hereto and any
successor thereto unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and then be continuing, and
shall remove the Trustee initially a party hereto and any successor thereto if at any time
(a)requested to do so by an instrument or concurrent instruments in writing signed by the
Owners of a majority of the aggregate principal evidenced by the Notes at the time Outstanding
(or their attorneys duly authorized in writing), or (b) the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in
accordance with the following paragraph, and shall appoint a successor Trustee. The Trustee
shall be a bank having trust powers or a trust company in good standing in or incorporated under
the laws of the United States or any state thereof, having (or if such bank or trust company is a
member of a bank holding company system, its parent bank holding company shall have) a
combined capital and surplus of at least $75,000,000, and be subject to supervision or
examination by federal or state banking authorities. If such bank or trust company publishes a
report of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of any supervising or
examining authority above referred to, then for the purposes of this Section the combined capital
and surplus of such bank or trust company shall be deemed to be its combined capital and
surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published.
The Trustee may at any time resign by giving written notice of such resignation to the
Corporation and the District and by giving notice, by first class mail, postage prepaid, of such
resignation to the Owners at their addresses appearing on the registration books maintained by
the Trustee. Upon receiving such notice of resignation, the Corporation and the District shall
promptly appoint a successor Trustee by an instrument in writing; provided, however, that in the
event the District and the Corporation do not appoint a successor Trustee within 30 days
following receipt of such notice of resignation, the resigning Trustee may, at the expense of the
District, petition the appropriate court having jurisdiction to appoint a successor Trustee. Any
resignation or removal of a Trustee and appointment of a successor Trustee shall become
effective only upon acceptance of appointment by the successor Trustee. Any successor Trustee
appointed under this Trust Agreement shall signify its acceptance of such appointment by
executing and delivering to the District and the Corporation and to its predecessor Trustee a
written acceptance thereof, and thereupon such successor Trustee, without any further act, deed
or conveyance, shall become vested with all the moneys, estates, properties, rights, powers,
trusts, duties and obligations of such predecessor Trustee, with like effect as if originally named
Trustee herein; but, nevertheless, at the written request of the District or of the successor Trustee,
such predecessor Trustee shall execute and deliver any and all instruments of conveyance or
95196426.5 24
further assurance and do such other things as may reasonably be required for more fully and
certainly vesting in and confirming to such successor Trustee all the right, title and interest of
such predecessor Trustee in and to any property held by it under this Trust Agreement and shall
pay over, transfer, assign and deliver to the successor Trustee any money or other property
subject to the trusts and conditions herein set forth.
Any corporation, association or agency into which the Trustee may be converted or
merged, or with which it may be consolidated, or to which it may sell or transfer its corporate
trust business and assets as a whole or substantially as a whole, or any corporation or association
resulting from any such conversion, sale, merger, consolidation or transfer to which it is a party,
provided that such entity meets the combined capital and surplus requirements of this Section,
ipso facto, shall be and become successor trustee under this Trust Agreement and vested with all
the trusts, powers, discretions, immunities, privileges and all other matters as was its
predecessor, without the execution or filing of any instrument or any further act, deed or
conveyance on the part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary
notwithstanding.
Section 8.03. Compensation and Indemnification of the Trustee. The District shall
from time to time, subject to any written agreement then in effect with the Trustee, pay the
Trustee reasonable compensation for all its services rendered hereunder and reimburse the
Trustee for all its reasonable advances and expenditures (which shall not include "overhead
expenses" except as such expenses are included as a component of the Trustee's stated annual
fees or disclosed transaction fees) hereunder, including but not limited to advances to and
reasonable fees and reasonable expenses of accountants, agents, appraisers, consultants or other
experts, and counsel not directly employed by the Trustee but an attorney or firm of attorneys
retained by the Trustee, employed by it in the exercise and performance of its rights and
obligations hereunder; provided, however, that the Trustee shall not have any lien for such
compensation or reimbursement against any moneys held by it in any of the funds or accounts
established hereunder. The Trustee may take whatever legal actions are lawfully available to it
directly against the Corporation or the District.
Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, no provision of this Trust Agreement
shall require the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability
in the performance of any of its duties hereunder or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers
hereunder.
The District, to the extent permitted by law, agrees to indemnify and save the Trustee, its
directors, officers, employees and agents harmless against any liabilities which it may incur in
the exercise and performance of its powers and duties hereunder, including but not limited to
costs and expenses incurred in defending against any claim or liability, which are not due to its
negligence or willful misconduct.
Section 8.04. Protection of the Trustee. The Trustee shall be protected and shall incur
no liability in acting or proceeding in good faith upon any affidavit, bond, certificate, consent,
notice, request, requisition, resolution, statement, waiver or other paper or document which it
shall in good faith believe to be genuine and to have been adopted, executed or delivered by the
proper party or pursuant to any of the provisions hereof, and the Trustee shall be under no duty
95196426.5 25
to make any investigation or inquiry as to any statements contained or matters referred to in any
such instrument, but may accept and rely upon the same as conclusive evidence of the truth and
accuracy of such statements. The Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the
rights or powers vested in it by this Trust Agreement at the request or direction of any of the
Owners of the Notes pursuant to this Trust Agreement, unless such Owners shall have offered to
the Trustee security or indemnity, reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee, against the reasonable
costs, expenses and liabilities which might be incurred by it in compliance with such request or
direction. The Trustee may consult with counsel, who may be counsel to the Corporation or the
District, with regard to legal questions, and the opinion of such counsel shall be full and
complete authorization and protection in respect to any action taken or suffered by it hereunder
in good faith in accordance therewith.
The Trustee shall not be responsible for the sufficiency of the Notes or the Installment
Purchase Agreement, or of the assignment made to it hereunder, or for statements made in the
preliminary or final official statement relating to the Notes.
The Trustee shall not be required to take notice or be deemed to have notice of any
default or Event of Default hereunder, except failure of any of the payments to be made to the
Trustee required to be made hereunder or under the Installment Purchase Agreement, unless the
Trustee shall be specifically notified in writing of such default or Event of Default by the
District, the Corporation or the Owners of not less than 5% of the aggregate principal evidenced
by the Notes then Outstanding.
Whenever in the administration of its rights and obligations hereunder the Trustee shall
deem it necessary or desirable that a matter be proved or established prior to taking or suffering
any action hereunder, such matter (unless other evidence in respect thereof be herein specifically
prescribed) may be deemed to be conclusively proved and established by a Written Certificate of
the District or a Written Certificate of the Corporation, and such certificate shall be full warrant
to the Trustee for any action taken or suffered under the provisions hereof upon the faith thereof,
but in its discretion the Trustee may, in lieu thereof, accept other evidence of such matter or may
require such additional evidence as it deems reasonable.
The Trustee may buy, sell, own, hold and deal in any of the Notes and may join in any
action which any Owner may be entitled to take with like effect as if the Trustee were not a party
hereto. The Trustee, either as principal or agent, may also engage in or be interested in any
financial or other transaction with the Corporation or the District, and may act as agent,
depository or trustee for any committee or body of Owners or of owners of obligations of the
Corporation or the District as freely as if it were not the Trustee hereunder.
The Trustee may, to the extent reasonably necessary, execute any of the trusts or powers
hereof and perform any rights and obligations required of it hereunder by or through agents,
attorneys or receivers, and shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all matters of trust
and its rights and obligations hereunder, and the Trustee shall not be answerable for the
negligence or misconduct of any such agent, attorney or receiver selected by it with reasonable
care; provided, however, that in the event of any negligence or misconduct of any such attorney,
agent or receiver, the Trustee shall diligently pursue all remedies of the Trustee against such
agent, attorney or receiver. The Trustee shall not be liable for any error of judgment made by it
95196426.5 26
in good faith unless it shall be proved that the Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent
facts.
The Trustee shall not be answerable for the exercise of any trusts or powers hereunder or
for anything whatsoever in connection with the funds established hereunder, except only for its
own willful misconduct, negligence or breach of an obligation hereunder.
The Trustee may, on behalf of the Owners, intervene in any judicial proceeding to which
the Corporation or the District is a party and which, in the opinion of the Trustee and its counsel,
affects the Notes or the security therefor, and shall do so if requested in writing by the Owners of
at least 5% of the aggregate principal evidenced by Notes then Outstanding, provided the Trustee
shall have no duty to take such action unless it has been indemnified to its reasonable satisfaction
against all risk or liability arising from such action.

Outstanding Note and presentation of such Note for such purpose at the Principal Office a
suitable notation as to such action shall be made on such Note. If the Trustee shall receive an
Opinion of Counsel advising that new Notes modified to conform to such action are necessary,
modified Notes shall be prepared, and in that case upon demand of the Owner of any
Outstanding Notes such new Notes shall be exchanged at the Principal Office without cost to
each Owner for Notes then Outstanding upon surrender of such Outstanding Notes.
Section 9.04. Amendment by Mutual Consent. The provisions of this Article shall not

Owner, provided that due notation thereof is made on such Notes.

qualified in their entirety by reference to the entire Official Statement. References to, and summaries of,
provisions of the Constitution and laws of the State of California (the "State') and any documents
referred to herein do not purport to be complete and such references are qualified in their entirety by
reference to the complete provisions. All capitalized terms used in this Official Statement and not
otherwise defined herein have the meanings set forth in the Trust Agreement, the Installment Purchase
Agreement and the Master Agreement (each, as hereinafter defined). See APPENDIX C— "SUMMARY
OF PRINCIPAL LEGAL DOCUMENTS—Definitions"herein.
General
This Official Statement, including the cover page and all appendices hereto, provides certain
information concerning the sale and delivery of$[PAR AMOUNT]* aggregate principal amount of the
Orange County Sanitation District Revenue Refunding Certificate Anticipation Notes, Series 2011B (the
"Notes") evidencing direct, fractional undivided interests in the Installment Payment (the "Installment
Payment") and the interest thereon, to be made by the Orange County Sanitation District (the "District")
pursuant to the Installment Purchase Agreement, dated as of November 1, 2011 (the "Installment
Purchase Agreement"), by and between the District and the Orange County Sanitation District Financing
Corporation(the"Corporation"). Unless the context clearly indicates to the contrary, a reference herein
to either of the Installment Purchase Agreement or the Notes is intended to refer to the corresponding
interest in the Installment Purchase Agreement. Pursuant to the Master Agreement for District
Obligations, dated as of August 1, 2000 (the "Master Agreement"), by and between the District and the
Corporation, the District has established and declared the conditions and terms upon which obligations
such as the Installment Purchase Agreement, and the Installment Payment and the interest thereon,will be
incurred and secured. The Installment Payment under the Installment Purchase Agreement is payable
from (i)Net Revenues (as defined hereinafter) as provided in the Installment Purchase Agreement,
consisting primarily of all income and revenue received by the District from the operation or ownership of
the Wastewater System of the District (the "Wastewater System") remaining after payment of
Maintenance and Operation Costs, and (ii)other lawfully available funds of the District, as further
described in"SECURITY AND SOURCES OF PAYMENT FOR THE NOTES"herein.
The Notes are to be executed and delivered pursuant to a Trust Agreement, dated as of November
1, 2011 (the "Trust Agreement"), by and among the District, the Corporation and Union Bank, N.A., as
trustee (the "Trustee"). Proceeds from the sale of the Notes will be used to (i)pay at maturity all of the
Orange County Sanitation District Revenue Refunding Certificate Anticipation Notes, Series 2010B,
currently outstanding in the aggregate principal amount of$154,665,000 (the "Prior Notes"), and(ii) pay
*Preliminary; subject to change.
95197910.4
the costs incurred in connection with the execution and delivery of the Notes. See "PLAN OF
FINANCE"herein.
The Notes will be executed and delivered in the form of fully registered certificates, dated as of
the date of initial delivery thereof and will mature on November 9, 2012 (the "Maturity Date"). Interest
evidenced by the Notes will be payable on the Maturity Date. See "THE NOTES" herein. The Notes
initially will be delivered only in book-entry form and will be registered in the name of Cede & Co., as
nominee of The Depository Trust Company,New York, New York("DTC"), which will act as securities
depository for the Notes. The Notes will be delivered in denominations of $5,000 and any integral
multiple thereof. So long as the Notes are in the DTC book-entry system, the interest and principal due
with respect to the Notes will be payable by the Trustee, or its agent, to DTC or its nominee. DTC, in
turn, will make payments pursuant to its procedures as described under APPENDIX E — `BOOK—
ENTRY SYSTEM"herein.
The District
The District is a public agency responsible for regional wastewater collection, treatment and
disposal. The District is the sixth largest wastewater discharger in the United States. The District
provides service to an area with a population of more than 2.5 million people in the northern and central
portion of the County of Orange (the "County"), in a service area of approximately 463 square miles,
treating an average of 207 million gallons per day ("mg/d") of wastewater in Fiscal Year 2010-11. See
"THE DISTRICT,""DISTRICT REVENUES"and"FINANCIAL OBLIGATIONS"herein.
Security and Sources of Payment for the Notes
The Notes evidence direct, fractional undivided interests in the Installment Payment, and the
interest thereon, paid by the District pursuant to the Installment Purchase Agreement. The obligation of
the District to pay the Installment Payment and the interest thereon and other payments required to be
made by it under the Installment Purchase Agreement is a special obligation of the District payable, in the
manner provided under the Installment Purchase Agreement, from Net Revenues, and other lawfully
available funds of the District, as provided in the Installment Purchase Agreement. Net Revenues
generally consist of all income and revenue received by the District from the operation or ownership of
the Wastewater System remaining after payment of Maintenance and Operation Costs, all as further
provided in the Master Agreement.
The District expects the principal of and interest on the Notes to be paid from proceeds of the
sale, on the Maturity Date, of a future series of certificates of participation, notes or other obligations of
the District. The sale and delivery of a future series of certificates of participation, notes or other
obligations of the District will depend on market conditions, certain approvals by the District and the
Corporation and other factors. See"SECURITY AND SOURCES OF PAYMENT FOR THE NOTES—
Sale Proceeds of Future Obligations."
The Installment Purchase Agreement constitutes a Senior Obligation and, as such, is subject to
the provisions of the Master Agreement and is afforded all of the advantages, benefits, interests and
security afforded Senior Obligations pursuant to the Master Agreement. The District currently has
Outstanding Senior Obligations payable from Net Revenues on a parity with the Installment Payment
under the Installment Purchase Agreement. See "FINANCIAL OBLIGATIONS — Existing
Indebtedness" and "THE DISTRICT" herein and APPENDIX C — "SUMMARY OF PRINCIPAL
LEGAL DOCUMENTS — Master Agreement' attached hereto. The District has no Subordinate
Obligations currently outstanding.
95197910.4 2
Pursuant to the Master Agreement, the District will, to the extent permitted by law, fix,prescribe
and collect fees and charges for the services and facilities of the Wastewater System which will be at least
sufficient to yield during each Fiscal Year (a)Net Revenues equal to 125% of Debt Service on Senior
Obligations for such Fiscal Year and (b)Net Operating Revenues equal to 100% of Debt Service on all
Obligations for such Fiscal Year. The District may make adjustments from time to time in such fees and
charges and may make such classification thereof as it deems necessary, but shall not reduce the fees and
charges then in effect unless the Revenues and Net Revenues from such reduced fees and charges will at
all times be sufficient to meet the requirements of the Master Agreement. See "SECURITY AND
SOURCE OF PAYMENT FOR THE NOTES—Rate Covenant"herein.
The obligation of the District to pay the Installment Payment and the interest thereon, and
other payments required to be made by it under the Installment Purchase Agreement is a special
obligation of the District payable, in the manner provided in the Installment Purchase Agreement,
from Net Revenues and other lawfully available funds of the District, as provided for in the
Installment Purchase Agreement, and does not constitute a debt of the District or of the State, or of
any political subdivision thereof, in contravention of any constitutional or statutory debt limitation
or restriction. Neither the faith and credit nor the taxing power of the District or the State or any
political subdivision thereof, is pledged to the payment of the Installment Payment, or the interest
thereon, or other payments required to be made under the Installment Purchase Agreement. The
Installment Purchase Agreement constitutes a Senior Obligation and, as such, is subject to the
provisions of the Master Agreement and is afforded all of the advantages, benefits, interests and
security afforded Senior Obligations pursuant to the Master Agreement. See "SECURITY AND
SOURCES OF PAYMENT FOR THE NOTES" herein.
Continuing Disclosure
The District has covenanted for the benefit of holders and beneficial owners of the Notes to
provide notices of the occurrence of certain enumerated events. The specific nature of the information to
be contained in the notices of enumerated events is set forth in the Continuing Disclosure Agreement.
See "CONTINUING DISCLOSURE" herein and APPENDIX D — "FORM OF CONTINUING
DISCLOSURE AGREEMENT."
Miscellaneous
The descriptions herein of the Trust Agreement, the Master Agreement, the Installment Purchase
Agreement, the Continuing Disclosure Agreement and any other agreements relating to the Notes are
qualified in their entirety by reference to such documents. Copies of the Trust Agreement, the Master
Agreement and the Installment Purchase Agreement are on file and available for inspection at the
corporate trust office of Union Bank,N.A., Los Angeles, California,Attention: Corporate Trust.
PLAN OF FINANCE
A portion of the net proceeds from the sale of the Notes, together with other available moneys,
will be used to pay at maturity the prior installment payment (the "Funded Installment Payment") to be
made by the District in connection with the Prior Notes. Under the terms of the Trust Agreement, dated
as of November 1, 2010 (the "Prior Trust Agreement"), pursuant to which the Prior Notes were executed
and delivered, the payment of the Prior Notes will be effected by depositing a portion of the proceeds of
the Notes in the Installment Payment Fund established under the Prior Trust Agreement (the "Payment
Fund"). Such proceeds and other moneys deposited by the District will be held uninvested in cash in an
amount sufficient to provide for the payment of the interest on the Funded Installment Payment through
and including November 23, 2011 (the "Payment Date") and to provide for the payment of the principal
95197910.4 3
represented by the Funded Installment Payment. In accordance with the Prior Trust Agreement, the
Funded Installment Payment will be applied to the payment of interest with respect to the outstanding
Prior Notes and to the payment of the principal of the outstanding Prior Notes on the maturity date
thereof.
The amounts deposited in the Payment Fund will be held in trust solely for the Prior Notes and
will not be available to pay the principal and interest evidenced by the Notes or any obligations other than
the Prior Notes.

THE NOTES
General
The Notes will be prepared in the form of fully registered certificates in denominations of$5,000
and any integral multiple thereof. The Notes will be dated the date of initial delivery thereof and will
mature on the Maturity Date. The principal evidenced by the Notes shall be payable on the Maturity
Date. Interest evidenced by the Notes will accrue from their date of initial delivery and will be payable
on the Maturity Date. Interest evidenced by the Notes shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year
consisting of twelve 30-day months. See APPENDIX C — "SUMMARY OF PRINCIPAL LEGAL
DOCUMENTS—Trust Agreement."
The Notes initially will be delivered only in book-entry form and will be registered in the name of
Cede & Co., as nominee of The Depository Trust Company,New York, New York("DTC"), which will
act as securities depository for the Notes. Individual purchases of the Notes will be made in book-entry
form only. Purchasers of Notes will not receive physical certificates representing their ownership
interests in the Notes purchased. Payments of principal and interest evidenced by the Notes are payable
directly to DTC by Union Bank, N.A., as trustee. Upon receipt of payments of such principal and
interest, DTC will in turn distribute such payments to the beneficial owners of the Notes. So long as the
Notes are held in the DTC book-entry system,the interest and principal due with respect to the Notes will
95197910.4 4
be payable by the Trustee, or its agent, to DTC or its nominee. DTC, in turn, will make payments
pursuant to its procedures as described under APPENDIX E—"BOOK-ENTRY SYSTEM"herein.
No Prepayment
The Notes are not subject to prepayment prior to their maturity.
SECURITY AND SOURCES OF PAYMENT FOR THE NOTES
Sale Proceeds of Future Obligations
The District expects the principal of and interest on the Notes to be paid from proceeds of the
sale, on the Maturity Date, of a future series of certificates of participation, notes or other obligations of
the District,that will amortize over a term of approximately 25 years (the"Future Obligations").
The issuance of the Future Obligations will require future authorizations by the governing boards
of the District and the Corporation, as well as the preparation of suitable legal and disclosure documents
for the issue. The District is currently unaware of any material impediment to obtaining such
authorizations and documents. In addition, the issuance and sale of the Future Obligations will be
contingent on the District's ability to access the municipal capital markets, which will depend on the
District's creditworthiness and market conditions during the weeks immediately preceding the Maturity
Date. The District is unable to predict such matters with certainty and therefore cannot guarantee that the
Future Obligations will be successfully issued and sold.
Installment Payment
The Notes evidence direct, fractional undivided interests in the Installment Payment, and the
interest thereon, paid by the District pursuant to the Installment Purchase Agreement. The obligation of
the District to pay the Installment Payment and the interest thereon and other payments required to be
made by it under the Installment Purchase Agreement is a special obligation of the District payable, in the
manner provided under the Installment Purchase Agreement, from Net Revenues and other lawfully
available funds of the District, as provided in the Installment Purchase Agreement. Net Revenues
generally consist of all income and revenue received by the District from the operation or ownership of
the Wastewater System remaining after payment of Maintenance and Operation Costs, all as further
provided in the Master Agreement. See"DISTRICT REVENUES"herein.
Pursuant to the Master Agreement, the District has established and declared the conditions and
terms upon which obligations such as the Installment Purchase Agreement, and the Installment Payment
and the interest thereon payable under the Installment Purchase Agreement, will be incurred and secured.
The obligation of the District to make the Installment Payment, and payments of interest thereon, and
other payments required to be made by it under the Installment Purchase Agreement, from Net Revenues,
and other lawfully available funds of the District, is absolute and unconditional, and until such time as the
Installment Payment, payments of interest thereon, and such other payments shall have been paid in full
(or provision for the payment thereof shall have been made pursuant to the Installment Purchase
Agreement), the District has covenanted that it will not discontinue or suspend any Installment Payment
when due, whether or not the Project or any part thereof is operating or operable or has been completed,
or its use is suspended, interfered with, reduced or curtailed or terminated in whole or in part, and such
Installment Payment, payments of interest thereon, and other payments shall not be subject to reduction
whether offset or otherwise and shall not be conditional upon the performance or nonperformance by any
party of any agreement or any cause whatsoever. The District's obligation to make the Installment
Payment from Net Revenues is on a parity with the District's obligation to make payments with respect to
95197910.4 5
its Outstanding Senior Obligations. See "Net Revenues" below. Pursuant to the Trust Agreement, the
Corporation has assigned to the Trustee for the benefit of the Owners of the Notes substantially all of its
rights, title and interest in and to the Installment Purchase Agreement, including its right to receive the
Installment Payment and the interest thereon.
The District has certain Existing Senior Obligations Outstanding payable from Net Revenues on a
parity with the Installment Payment under the Installment Purchase Agreement. The term "Existing
Senior Obligations" as used in this Official Statement refers to the 2000 Installment Purchase Agreement,
the 2003 Installment Purchase Agreement, the 2007A Installment Purchase Agreement, the 2007B
Installment Purchase Agreement, the 2008A Installment Purchase Agreement, the 2008B Installment
Purchase Agreement, the 2009A Installment Purchase Agreement, the 2010A Installment Purchase
Agreement, the 2010B Installment Purchase Agreement, the 2010C Installment Purchase Agreement and
the 2011A Installment Purchase Agreement and the term "Senior Obligations" as used in this Official
Statement refers to the Existing Senior Obligations and to any additional Senior Obligations, such as the
Installment Purchase Agreement, that may be made payable on a parity basis to the Installment Payment
as provided in the Master Agreement. Senior Obligations, together with any Subordinate Obligations
payable on a subordinate basis to the Installment Payments incurred as provided in the Master Agreement,
are referred to collectively as the "Obligations." The District has no Subordinate Obligations currently
outstanding. See"FINANCIAL OBLIGATIONS Existing Indebtedness"herein and APPENDIX C
"SUMMARY OF PRINCIPAL LEGAL DOCUMENTS—Master Agreement"attached hereto.
The obligation of the District to pay the Installment Payment, and the interest thereon, and other
payments required to be made by it under the Installment Purchase Agreement and Master Agreement, is
a special obligation of the District payable, in the manner provided in the Installment Purchase
Agreement, from Net Revenues and other lawfully available funds of the District, as provided for in the
Installment Purchase Agreement, and does not constitute a debt of the District, the State or of any
political subdivision thereof, in contravention of any constitutional or statutory debt limitation or
restriction. Neither the faith and credit nor the taxing power of the District, the State or any political
subdivision thereof, is pledged to the payment of the Installment Payment, or the interest thereon, or other
payments required to be made under the Installment Purchase Agreement. The Installment Purchase
Agreement constitutes a Senior Obligation and, as such, is subject to the provisions of the Master
Agreement and is afforded all of the advantages, benefits, interests and security afforded Senior
Obligations pursuant to the Master Agreement. See "SECURITY AND SOURCES OF PAYMENT FOR
THE NOTES"herein.
Available Funds of the District
As Senior Obligations under the Master Agreement, the Installment Payment is payable from and
secured by a pledge of Net Revenues. Should Net Revenues prove insufficient, the Installment Purchase
Agreement further provides that the Installment Payment is payable from any other lawfully available
funds of the District. The primary lawfully available funds of the District are its reserve funds, other than
trustee-held amounts required to be in any Obligation Reserve Fund securing certain of the District's
Senior Obligations, as described in the Master Agreement. At June 30, 2011, the District's Debt Service
Required Reserves totaled $147 million, of which $90.2 million were trustee-held amounts in Obligation
Reserve Funds as required under the Master Agreement. See APPENDIX C — "SUMMARY OF
PRINCIPAL LEGAL DOCUMENTS Master Agreement" attached hereto. District reserve funds are
maintained in accordance with the District's reserve policy. See "DISTRICT REVENUES—Reserves."
District reserve funds, excluding Debt Service Required Reserves (see Table 13), are referred to herein as
"Available Reserves." Available Reserves at June 30,2011 were approximately$414 million. Available
Reserves at June 30, 2012 and June 30, 2013 are projected to be approximately $573 million and $643
95197910.4 6
million, respectively. See "DISTRICT REVENUES—Reserves," "— Summary of Operating Data" and
"—Projected Operating Data."
Net Revenues
The District is obligated to make the Installment Payment from, among other things, Net
Revenues as provided in the Master Agreement, which consist of Revenues remaining after payment of
costs paid by the District for maintaining and operating the Wastewater System ("Maintenance and
Operation Costs"). Revenues are defined in the Master Agreement to mean, for any period, all income
and revenue received by the District during such period from the operation or ownership of the
Wastewater System, determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, including
all fees and charges received during such period for the services of the Wastewater System, investment
income received during such period (but only to the extent that such investment income is generally
available to pay costs with respect to the Wastewater System, including Maintenance and Operation
Costs), Net Proceeds of business interruption insurance received during such period, ad valorem taxes
received during such period, payments under the Agreement Acquiring Ownership Interests, Assigning
Rights and Establishing Obligations, entered into on February 13, 1986, and amendment No. I thereto
dated December 10, 1986 (the "IRWD Agreement"), by and between predecessor County Sanitation
District No. 14 of Orange County and the Irvine Ranch Water District(the"IRWD")received during such
period and all other money received during such period howsoever derived by the District from the
operation or ownership of the Wastewater System or arising from the Wastewater System (including any
standby or availability charges), but excluding (a)Capital Facilities Capacity Charges, (b)payments
received under Financial Contracts, and (c)refundable deposits made to establish credit and advances or
contributions in aid of construction (which, for purposes of the Master Agreement, shall not include
payments under the IRWD Agreement); provided, however, that (i)Revenues shall be increased by the
amounts, if any, transferred during such period from the Rate Stabilization Account to the Revenue
Account and shall be decreased by the amounts, if any, transferred during such period from the Revenue
Account to the Rate Stabilization Account, and (ii)Revenues shall include Capital Facilities Capacity
Charges collected during such period to the extent that such Capital Facilities Capacity Charges could be
properly expended on a Capital Facilities Capacity Charge Eligible Project for which the proceeds of
Senior Obligations were used or are available to be used. Any Federal Subsidy payments received by the
District will constitute Revenues as defined in the Master Agreement. See "DISTRICT REVENUES —
Additional Revenues"herein.
The District's obligation to make the Installment Payment from its Net Revenues is on a parity
with the District's obligation to make payments with respect to its other outstanding obligations described
as Senior Obligations and all Reimbursement Obligations with respect to Senior Obligations, as provided
in the Master Agreement. The Installment Purchase Agreement constitutes a Senior Obligation and, as
such, is subject to the provisions of the Master Agreement and is afforded all of the advantages, benefits,
interests and security afforded Senior Obligations pursuant to the Master Agreement. Pursuant to the
Master Agreement, the District pledges all Net Revenues to the payment of the Senior Obligations and
Reimbursement Obligations with respect to Senior Obligations, and the Net Revenues will not be used for
any other purpose while any of the Senior Obligations or Reimbursement Obligations with respect to
Senior Obligations remain unpaid; provided, however, that out of the Net Revenues there may be
apportioned such sums for such purposes as are expressly permitted by the Master Agreement. This
pledge constitutes a first lien on the Net Revenues for the payment of the Senior Obligations and
Reimbursement Obligations with respect to Senior Obligations. The term"Senior Obligations,"generally
means all revenue bonds or notes(including bond anticipation notes and commercial paper)of the District
authorized, issued, executed and delivered under and pursuant to applicable law,the Installment Purchase
Agreement, and all other contracts (including financial contracts) or leases of the District authorized and
executed by the District under and pursuant to applicable law, including, without limitation, installment,
95197910.4 7
lease or other payments which are, in accordance with the provisions of the Master Agreement, payable
from Net Revenues on a parity with the payments under the Master Agreement.
The District may at any time incur Subordinate Obligations payable on a subordinate basis to the
Installment Payment as provided in the Master Agreement; provided, however, that prior to incurring
such Subordinate Obligations, the District shall have determined that the incurrence thereof will not
materially adversely affect the District's ability to comply with the requirements of the Master
Agreement. The District may at any time incur Reimbursement Obligations with respect to Subordinate
Obligations. For a description of the District's Outstanding Senior Obligations and Subordinate
Obligations, see "FINANCIAL OBLIGATIONS — Existing Indebtedness" herein. There are currently
no Subordinate Obligations or Reimbursement Obligations with respect to Subordinate Obligations
outstanding.
The District may, in connection with the incurrence of Subordinate Obligations, pledge Net
Revenues to the payment of Subordinate Obligations and Reimbursement Obligations with respect to
Subordinate Obligations; provided, however, that such pledge, and any lien created thereby, shall be
junior and subordinate to the pledge of, and lien on,Net Revenues for the payment of Senior Obligations
and Reimbursement Obligations with respect to Senior Obligations.
Rate Stabilization Account
To avoid fluctuations in its fees and charges of the Wastewater System, from time to time the
District may deposit in the Rate Stabilization Account from Net Revenues such amounts as the District
deems necessary or appropriate. From time to time, the District may also transfer moneys from the Rate
Stabilization Account to the Revenue Account to be used by the District, first to pay all Maintenance and
Operations Costs as and when the same shall be due and payable. In addition, any such amount
transferred from the Rate Stabilization Account to the Revenue Account by the District is included as
Revenues for any period, but such transferred amount is excluded from determining Operating Revenues
for any period. Revenues will be decreased by the amounts, if any,transferred from the Revenue Account
to the Rate Stabilization Account. There are presently no funds in the Rate Stabilization Account.
Allocation of Revenues
To carry out and effectuate the pledge of Net Revenues under the Master Agreement as described
above, the District agrees and covenants that all Operating Revenues received by the District will be
deposited when and as received in the Revenue Account. Additionally, amounts may, from time to time
as the District deems necessary or appropriate, be transferred from the Rate Stabilization Account and
deposited in the Revenue Account, as described above under"—Rate Stabilization Account"above. The
District will pay from the Revenue Account all Maintenance and Operations Costs (including amounts
reasonably required to be set aside in contingency reserves for Maintenance and Operations Costs, the
payment of which is not immediately required)as and when the same shall be due and payable.
After having paid, or having made provisions for the payment of, Maintenance and Operations
Costs, the District shall set aside and deposit or transfer, as the case may be, from the Revenue Account
such amounts at such times as provided in the Master Agreement in the following order of priority:
(1) Senior Obligation Payment Account;
(2) Senior Obligation Reserve Funds (the Notes are not secured by any Reserve Fund);
(3) Subordinate Obligation Payment Account;
(4) Subordinate Obligation Reserve Funds; and
(5) Rate Stabilization Account.
95197910.4 8
Amounts required or permitted to be deposited or transferred as described in items 2, 3, 4 and 5
above, shall not be so deposited or transferred unless the District shall have determined that there will be
sufficient Net Revenues available to make the required deposits or transfers on the dates on which such
deposits or transfers are required to be made as described above. So long as the District has determined
that Net Revenues will be sufficient to make all of the deposits or transfers required to be made pursuant
to items 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 above, on the dates on which such deposits or transfers are required to be made,
Net Revenues on deposit in the Revenue Account may from time to time be used for any purpose for
which the District funds may be legally applied. For additional information, see APPENDIX C
"SUMMARY OF PRINCIPAL LEGAL DOCUMENTS—Master Agreement."
Rate Covenant
Pursuant to the Master Agreement, the District will, to the extent permitted by law, fix,prescribe
and collect fees and charges for the services of the Wastewater System which will be at least sufficient to
yield during each Fiscal Year(a)Net Revenues equal to 125% of Debt Service on Senior Obligations for
such Fiscal Year and (b)Net Operating Revenues equal to 100% of Debt Service on all Obligations for
such Fiscal Year. The District may make adjustments from time to time in such fees and charges and may
make such classification thereof as it deems necessary, but will not reduce the fees and charges then in
effect unless the Revenues and Net Revenues from such reduced fees and charges will at all times be
sufficient to meet the requirements of the Master Agreement.
In addition, the District has covenanted in the Master Agreement to prepare and adopt an annual
budget for the Wastewater System for each Fiscal Year. Such budget will set forth in reasonable detail
the Revenues anticipated to be derived in such Fiscal Year and the expenditures anticipated to be paid or
provided for therefrom in such Fiscal Year, including, without limitation, the amounts required to pay or
provide for the payment of the Obligations during such Fiscal Year, the amounts required to pay or
provide for the payment of Maintenance and Operations Costs during such Fiscal Year and the amounts
required to pay or provide for the payment of all other claims or obligations required to be paid from
Revenues in such Fiscal Year, and will show that Revenues and Net Revenues will be at least sufficient to
satisfy the requirements of the Master Agreement. On or before September 1 of each Fiscal Year, the
District will file with the Trustee a copy of the adopted budget for such Fiscal Year. See APPENDIX C
— "SUMMARY OF PRINCIPAL LEGAL DOCUMENTS — Master Agreement" for additional
information.
The District has an established reserve policy with eight separate reserve fund categories. Over
the next ten years,the year ending reserve total for each year is projected not to fall below$482 million as
indicated in the District's ten-year cash flow forecast for fiscal years 2011-12 through 2020-21. At its
election,the District may use unrestricted reserves to help satisfy the rate covenant described above. See
"DISTRICT REVENUES Reserves"herein.
Limitations on Issuance of Additional Obligations

Existing Senior Obligations payable from Net Revenues as provided in the Master Agreement on a parity
with all other Senior Obligations theretofore incurred but only subject to the following conditions under
the Master Agreement:
(1) Upon the incurrence of such Senior Obligations, no Event of Default will be continuing
under the Master Agreement; and
95197910.4 9
(2) Subject to the provisions of the Master Agreement, the District will have received either

THE DISTRICT
Background
The Orange County Sanitation District is a public agency responsible for regional wastewater
collection, treatment and disposal. The District is the sixth largest wastewater discharger in the United
States. The District provides service to an area with a population of more than 2.5 million people in the
northern and central portion of the County by treating an average of 207 mg/d of wastewater in Fiscal
Year 2010-11. The District serves approximately 8 1% of the County population in approximately 463
square miles,or approximately 60%of the County's area.
The service area which comprises the District was originally formed in 1954 pursuant to the
County Sanitation District Act, as amended, Section 4700 et seq. of the Health and Safety Code of the
State. The District's service area originally consisted of seven independent special districts in the County
which were each responsible for matters relating to their individual districts. These special districts were
jointly responsible for the treatment and disposal facilities which they each used. The seven independent
districts were successors to the Joint Outfall Sewer Organization, which was formed in 1923 among the
Cities of Anaheim, Santa Ana, Fullerton, and Orange, and the sanitary districts of Placentia, Buena Park,
La Habra, and Garden Grove. The Joint Outfall Sewer Organization constructed a treatment plant and
outfall in the early 1920's to serve its members. It was reorganized in 1947 and 1948 into seven county
sanitation districts — District Nos. 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 7 and 11. These prior districts were formed based on
engineers' analyses of the gravity flows in the service area. District No. 13 was formed in 1985 and
District No. 14 was added in 1986. These districts were co-participants in a Joint Agreement which
provided for the joint construction,ownership, and operation of the prior districts'joint facilities.
In April 1998, at the request of the District's Board of Directors (the "Board of Directors"), the
Board of Supervisors of the County of Orange (the "County Board") passed Resolution No. 98-140
approving the consolidation of the then existing nine special districts into a new, single sanitation district,
to be known as the Orange County Sanitation District. This action was designed to simplify governance
structures, reduce the size of the Board of Directors, ease administrative processes, streamline decision-
making and consolidate accounting and auditing processes. The consolidation was effective on July 1,
1998.
Pursuant to the Resolution and Government Code Section 57500, the prior districts transferred
and assigned all of their powers, rights, duties, obligations, functions and properties to the District, and
the District assumed all obligations of the prior districts which were several and not joint including,
without limitation, their obligations to repay the then outstanding certificates of participation. See
"FINANCIAL OBLIGATIONS—Existing Indebtedness"herein. The boundaries of the nine predecessor
special districts were initially used by the District to delineate separate revenue areas (the "Revenue
Areas") for budgeting and accounting purposes and in order to facilitate the imposition of fees and
charges imposed by the District. See"DISTRICT REVENUES—Sewer Service Charges"herein.
The District is managed by the Board of Directors, whose members are appointed by 25 member
cities and agencies which are serviced by the District. The District is responsible for construction and
maintenance of a major portion of the wastewater collection, treatment and disposal facilities within its
boundaries. Revenue Area No. 7 is responsible for approximately 171 miles of local sewers in its service
area, whereas local sanitary districts, water districts and cities are responsible for local sewers in the
remainder of the District's service area.
95197910.4 13
Organization and Administration
The District is independent of and overlaps other political jurisdictions. There are many
governmental entities, including the County, that operate within the District's jurisdiction. These entities
are exclusively responsible for the administration of their own fiscal affairs, and the District is not entitled
to operating surpluses of, or responsible for operating deficits of, any of the other entities.
The 25-member Board of Directors is composed of representatives from 21 cities,unincorporated
areas of the County and three special districts, including mayors of cities, members of city councils,
directors of independent special districts and one member from the County Board. Several board
committees, made up of members of the Board of Directors, consider topics for action by the Board of
Directors and make recommendations to the Board of Directors. The Chair and the Vice Chair of the
Board of Directors are elected every year by a majority of the Board of Directors, and serve at the
pleasure of the majority of the Board of Directors.
The District has a general manager, general counsel, and administrative and operating staff, with
offices located at Reclamation Plant No. 1 in Fountain Valley, California. The District currently employs
an administrative and operating staff of approximately 637 under the direction of its General Manager,
James D. Ruth.
James D. Ruth is the District's General Manager, and has served in that capacity since
December 2005. Prior to that time, from January 2003 to October 2004, Mr. Ruth served as Chief

in the private and public sectors regionally,nationally, and internationally.
Services
The District owns and operates regional wastewater collection, treatment, and disposal facilities
for the metropolitan area in the northern and central portion of the County. The District receives
wastewater from the collection systems of the cities, sanitary districts and unincorporated areas of the
County located within the District. See"THE DISTRICT—Service Areas"herein.
Generally, local agency systems collect wastewater from residential and industrial customers and
convey the wastewater to District trunk sewer pipelines for conveyance to the District's wastewater
treatment plants.
The District's staff is responsible for operating and maintaining the District's infrastructure,
although some work is performed by external contractors.
Currently, the District has established supply contracts for all chemicals necessary to the
operation and maintenance of the facilities of the District. The District has sufficient standby systems in
the event of equipment failures or system outages.
Service Area
The map on the inside cover of this Official Statement shows the District's boundaries and
selected cities located within the District. District boundaries were originally established in 1947 and
1948 based on drainage basins. As the existing cities have grown and new areas have incorporated, city
limits have come to overlap District boundaries. The District currently serves an approximately 463
square-mile area including 23 of the County's 33 cities and various unincorporated areas of the County.
The District serves a population of more than 2.5 million residents and owns sanitary sewerage facilities
with an estimated replacement value of approximately $7.1 billion at December 31, 2012 when full
secondary treatment facilities become fully operational.

Employees
As of September 1, 2011,the District had 590 represented and non-represented employees. Most
of the District's employees are represented by recognized employee organizations, which include the
following: the Orange County Employees Association ("OCEA"), representing administrative/clerical,
technical services and engineering employees since 1979, the International Union of Operating Engineers
—Local 501 ("Local 501"), representing operations and maintenance employees since October 1985, and
the Peace Officers Counsel of California representing the Supervisor Group and the Professional Group
supervisory and professional employees since 1991. Total represented employees as of September 1,
2011 numbered 548 as follows: 96 were represented by the OCEA, 210 were represented by Local 501
and 242 were represented by the Supervisor and Professional Groups. The Supervisor and Professional
95197910.4 16
Groups agreements with the District were renegotiated in 2011 and expire on June 30, 2013. The OCEA
and Local 501 agreements with the District were renegotiated in 2011 and expire on June 30, 2014. The
District has historically enjoyed a good working relationship with its employee organizations and has
experienced no work stoppages by represented personnel since the early 1980s.
Retirement Plan
The District participates in the Orange County Employees Retirement System ("OCERS"), a
cost-sharing multiple-employer, defined benefit pension plan which is governed and administered by a
nine-member Board of Retirement. OCERS was established in 1945 under the provisions of the County
Employees Retirement Law of 1937, and provides members with retirement, death, disability, and cost of-
living benefits.
All District full-time employees, except the General Manager, participate in OCERS. The
amount of the retirement allowance is based upon the member's age at retirement, the member's "final
compensation" as defined in Section 31462 of the Retirement Law of 1937, the total years of service
under OCERS, and the employee's classification as a Plan B, G or H member. Effective July 1, 2005,
employees retiring at age 55 or older receive 2.5% of their final compensation for every year of service.
The District entered into a memorandum of understanding with all represented groups that (effective on
October 1, 2010 for the Supervisor and Professional Group and unrepresented employees, effective on
July 1, 2011 for the Local 501 Group, and effective on August 1, 2011 for the OCEA Group) reduced the
benefit formula for new employees. Employees hired into the groups after the respective effective dates
are subject to a benefit formula of 2.5% at age 55 for Plan G and H members and a benefit formula of
1.667% at age 57.5 for Plan B members. [Each group's benefits are based on the employee's final
compensation for every year of service.] "Final compensation" is the highest consecutive 12 months of
compensation for Plan G members and the highest consecutive 36 months of compensation divided by
three for Plan B and H members. Benefits fully vest under the OCERS retirement plan upon reaching
five years of service. Employees who retire at or after age 50 with ten or more years of service are
eligible to receive an annual retirement allowance, but at a reduced benefit for those employees retiring
prior to age 57.5 for Plan B members or prior to age 55 for Plan G and H members. OCERS also
provides death and disability benefits.
As a condition of participation under the provisions of the County Employees Retirement Law of
1937, members are required to contribute a percentage of their annual compensation to OCERS. The
District is required to make periodic contributions to OCERS in amounts that are estimated to remain a
constant percentage of covered employees' compensation such that, when combined with covered
employees' contributions, they will fully provide for all covered employees' benefits by the time they
retire.

Source: Orange County Sanitation District.
For Fiscal Years 2006-07 through 2010-11, the District's required contribution was equal to the
contribution that the District actually made. As noted, the required contribution set forth above includes
amortization of Unfunded Actuarial Accrued Liability ("UAAL"). For the Fiscal Year ended June 30,
2011, total payroll costs of employees covered by OCERS was $58,582,598. As of the December 31,
2010 valuation, OCERS has an aggregate UAAL ratio of 69.79%,for a total UAAL of$3.75 billion.
The District's retirement program includes Additional Retiree Benefit Account ("ARBA")
benefits. ARBA benefits provide a monthly payment to retirees towards the premium costs of health
insurance for the retiree and eligible dependents. The retiree is not required to use this amount for health
insurance premium or to remain on the OCERS medical plan. Benefits vest upon retirement after
qualifying public service of ten years. The District pays 100% of the cost for the ARBA plan and utilizes
a pay-as-you-go method for funding the plan. The District paid$248,410 in ARBA benefits during Fiscal
Year 2010-11. Effective August 1, 2011, ARBA benefits are no longer available to new OCEA Group
employees of the District.
For more information regarding OCERS and the District's retirement plan as of June 30, 2011,
see Note 6 to the Comprehensive Annual Financial Report of the Orange County Sanitation District for
Fiscal Year Ended June 30,2010 set forth in Appendix A. The Comprehensive Annual Financial Reports
of the Orange County Employees Retirement System are available on the OCERS website at
http://www.ocers.org. The information on such website is not incorporated herein by such reference or
otherwise. The District cannot predict whether the OCERS investment portfolio will experience
additional losses in the future; however, any future losses could result in material increases in the
District's required contributions.
95197910.4 18
Other Post-Employment Benefits
In. June 2004, Governmental Accounting Standards Board ("GASB") issued Statement No. 45,
which requires state and local governmental employers to fund the actuarially determined annual required
contribution ("ARC") for its post-employment benefits other than pension benefits (known as other post-
employment benefits or"OPEB") or record the entire amount of the unfunded liability of its OPEB in its
financial statements. OPEB includes healthcare and life insurance expenses and related liabilities, and an
annual required contribution to fund such liabilities. The District adopted Statement No. 45 for the fiscal
year beginning July 1, 2007, as required of a GASB "Phase 1 Agency." According to the District's
actuary, Demsey Filliger Associates (the "Actuary"), the unfunded OPEB liability as of July 1, 2009 is
approximately $8.8 million. The ARC is $819,692 for Fiscal Year 2010-11. Calculation of the ARC is
based on the present value of benefits accruing in the current year, a 30-year amortization of the unfunded
OPEB liability and an assumed rate of return on investments in the retiree fund of 5% per annum. The
District does not believe that its OPEB liability will have a material impact on its operational results.
Risk Management
As of the date hereof, the District has in force basic all risk property and casualty insurance,
including theft, fire, flood,terrorism and boiler and machinery losses at its plants and pump stations. The
District is self-insured for portions of workers' compensation,property damage and general liability. The
self-insurance portion of workers' compensation is $750,000 per person per occurrence with outside
excess insurance coverage to the statutory limit. The self-insured portion for property damage covering
fire and other disasters is $250,000 per occurrence with outside excess insurance coverage to $1 billion.
The self-insured portion for property damage covering flood is $100,000 per occurrence with outside
excess insurance coverage to $300 million. The District is self-insured for all property damage from the
perils of earthquakes. See "DISTRICT REVENUES — Reserves." The District also maintains outside
comprehensive boiler and machinery insurance, including business interruption insurance, with a $100
million limit with deductibles ranging from$25,000 to $350,000. The District is self-insured for general
liability coverage up to $250,000 per occurrence (except that employment practice liability is $500,000),
with excess general liability coverage up to $30 million.
During the past five fiscal years there have been no settlements in excess of covered amounts.
Claims against the District are processed by outside claim administrators. The District believes that there
are no unrecorded claims as of June 30, 2011 that would materially affect the financial position of the
District.
For more information regarding the District's insurance coverage as of June 30, 2010, see Note 1
to the Comprehensive Annual Financial Report of the Orange County Sanitation District for Fiscal Year
Ended June 30,2010 set forth in Appendix A.
Existing Facilities
The District's Wastewater System presently consists of two wastewater treatment plants, an
influent metering and diversion structure, 15 off-plant pump stations, various interplant pipelines and
connections, and the ocean outfall facilities. The District's Wastewater System includes approximately
403 miles of sewers within 11 trunk sewer systems, 176 miles of local sewers located within a portion of
Revenue Area No. 7, two treatment plants, two discharge outfalls and two emergency weir outlets. The
existing treatment plants have a rated primary treatment capacity of 372 mg/d, including standby capacity.
Treatment Plant No. 1 ("Plant No. 1") is located in the City of Fountain Valley, about four miles
from the coast, adjacent to the Santa Ana River. Secondary treatment capabilities are provided by a
95197910.4 19
trickling filter plant and a conventional air activated sludge plant. Up to 105 mg/d of secondary treated
effluent is conveyed to an Orange County Water District (the "OCWD") plant for tertiary treatment prior
to reclamation and groundwater recharge.
Treatment Plant No. 2 ("Plant No. 2") is located in the City of Huntington Beach, 1,500 feet from
the ocean, at the mouth of the Santa Ana River. Secondary treatment capabilities are provided by a pure
oxygen activated sludge plant.
The District employs several phases in the treatment of wastewater. The first phase, preliminary
treatment,removes debris such as eggshells, sand and other non-biodegradable items. See also "Preferred
Level of Treatment" and `Biosolids Management" below. In the next phase, primary treatment,
wastewater is pumped to large settling basins. The liquids are separated from the remaining solids which
settle or float as the wastewater passes through large settling basins called clarifiers. The settled solids
are sent to solids treatment facilities. Substantially all of the wastewater received by the District is sent to
secondary treatment for further processing because of the recent completion of the secondary expansion at
Treatment Plant No. 2. During secondary treatment, the wastewater is treated with naturally occurring
bacteria to remove most of the remaining dissolved and suspended microscopic organic solids. The
treated wastewater from both plants is mixed together at Plant No. 2, where it is then pumped through the
ocean outfall pipe that extends five miles offshore.
Table 4 below sets forth the treatment plants' approximate current and future treatment capacities.

The District also has the capability to divert a portion of the influent flow from Plant No. 1 to
Plant No. 2 through interplant connections. A portion of the flow destined for Plant No. 2 can also be
diverted to Plant No. 1. Another interplant facility allows gas generated during solids treatment to be
transported between Plant No. 1 and Plant No. 2 and allows digester gas (which is used as fuel for many
of the facilities' engines) from one plant to be used at the other to balance the supply and demand, which
results in efficient gas utilization.
95197910.4 20
Permits,Licenses and Other Regulations
The District is subject to laws, rules and permits issued by federal, state, regional and local
regulatory bodies. The Wastewater System is subject to regulations imposed by the 1972 Clean Water
Act, Public Law 92-500 (the "Clean Water Act"), the California Environmental Quality Act of 1970, as
amended ("CEQA") and the Federal Clean Air Act. The regulatory requirements are primarily
administered by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (the "EPA"), the California Air
Resources Board, the Santa Ana Regional Water Quality Control Board ("RWQCB"), and the South
Coast Air Quality Management District ("AQMD"). Regulations of these agencies deal primarily with
the quality of effluent which may be discharged from the treatment plants and air quality emissions. The
Clean Water Act directs the EPA to monitor and to regulate the discharge of pollution into navigable
waterways and to enforce the requirements that all wastewater treatment plants in the nation provide full
secondary treatment for sewage. In 1977, Congress amended the Clean Water Act to allow waivers of
secondary treatment standards for certain ocean dischargers if they can demonstrate, to the satisfaction of
the EPA that significant adverse environmental impacts would not occur. The District currently has all
applicable permits and licenses necessary to operate its facilities.
The District has discharged treated wastewater into the Pacific Ocean under a permit issued by
the EPA and the RWQCB. The discharge permit included a waiver under the 301(h) provisions of the
Clean Water Act, allowing for less than full secondary treatment based on an ocean discharge of
sufficient depth, distance and dilution. The permit was initially issued in 1985 and was the first modified
Section 301(h) permit issued to a major wastewater treatment facility. The permit was re-issued on
May 6, 1998 and expired on June 8,2003.
In July 2002, the Board of Directors approved a change from the existing level of treatment, a
blend of 50% advanced primary and 50% secondary treated wastewater, to full secondary treatment
standards. See "Preferred Level of Treatment" and "Urban Runoff' below. As a result, the District
established a policy to subject all wastewater discharges into the ocean to secondary treatment standards.
To implement this policy, the District staff was directed to immediately proceed with the planning,
design, and implementation of treatment methods with the expressed purposes of eliminating the need for
the permit waiver received under Section 301(h).
Following the determination by the Board of Directors on July 2002 to implement full secondary
standards, staff prepared the Secondary Treatment National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System
("NPDES") Permit Application that was required to be submitted to the regional office of the EPA and
the RWQCB in December 2002. The NPDES Permit is separate and apart from the permit waiver
received under Section 301(h), and once awarded would negate the need for a waiver. Achieving
secondary treatment standards was originally projected to take nine years to complete, with completion
expected in December 2012. Because ocean discharge permits are issued for only five years, and the
EPA has no authority to waive the discharge limit requirements or grant a longer permit (except in
accordance with Section 301(h)), the District decided to voluntarily seek a consent decree concurrently
with the issuance of the new ocean discharge permit.
This negotiated consent decree(the "Consent Decree") approves the schedule and decrees that no
penalties will be imposed for discharges that exceed the secondary treatment limits during the period of
construction. The Consent Decree was signed by the District, the EPA and the RWQCB and filed with
the U.S. District Court on November 15, 2004. The Consent Decree contains seven construction
milestones and interim effluent limitations. The District is in compliance with the Consent Decree and has
successfully completed five of the seven milestones within the specified deadlines required by the
Consent Decree. The District expects to complete all seven milestones ahead of schedule, prior to
December 31,2012.
95197910.4 21
The District is also subject to the requirements of the Federal Clean Air Act which mandates
attainment with national ambient air quality standards for criteria pollutants (ozone, particulate matter
(PM10), carbon monoxide, lead, nitrogen dioxide, and sulfur dioxide). Criteria air pollutants cause
adverse effects on human health and environment. AQMD is the local air pollution control agency
charged with implementing the Federal Clean Air Act. In addition to criteria pollutants, AQMD also
implements numerous federal and state requirements related to the toxic air pollutants which can cause
cancer or other severe localized health effects. The State's Air Toxic Hot Spots Act, for example,
requires facilities to conduct health risk assessments and notify the neighboring communities if the health
risk exceeds the regulatory thresholds.
Pursuant to AQMD's requirements, the District must obtain permits before sewage treatment
improvement projects can be constructed and operated. Such permits are project specific and may contain
conditions that govern design criteria, operating parameters, and emissions standards. Most of the
District's treatment facilities are enclosed in order to capture and treat emissions to meet regulatory
emissions standards and to minimize odor impact to the neighboring communities. The District's
treatment plants are also subject to the requirements of Title V of the Federal Clean Air Act amendments.
The Title V permit is a single air quality permit for a facility that consolidates and replaces all of the air
permits for individual pieces of equipment previously issued by the local air quality district. The permit
contains all of the applicable local, state, and federal requirements, including periodic self-certification of
compliance and mandatory self-reporting of permit deviation.
All Title V permit related reporting and documents submitted to the AQMD must be signed by
the highest District official — in this case the General Manager. The Title V program also demands
facilities to organize and conduct extensive training of the staff involved, including the field operation and
maintenance staff. Another Title V important feature is a possibility of the public active participation and
intervention in the cases of potential emission limits and monitoring violations. The District Title V
permits did not receive any negative public responses or comments during the required public review
period. The District received initial Title V permits for both treatment plants in January 2009.
The District developed the Air Toxic Emissions Reduction Strategic Plan in 2007, which
evaluated the health risk impacts and risk reduction alternatives for Calendar Year 2012. This is when all
treatment plant upgrades and improvements planned for completion were in place. The District currently
has all necessary AQMD permits to operate the Wastewater System.
2009 Facilities Master Plan and Capital Improvement Program
The District's 2009 Facilities Master Plan(the "Master Plan")was completed and adopted by the
Board of Directors in December 2009. The Master Plan updated the planning processes set forth in the
1989 Master Plan, the 1999 Strategic Plan, and the 2002 Interim Strategic Plan Update. The Master Plan
also incorporates and implements the levels of services defined by the District's Board of Directors that
are included in the District's 2009 Five-Year Strategic Plan. The result is a plan that integrates research,
facilities planning, water conservation and reclamation, sludge reuse, other wastewater programs and
financial planning into a single unified approach. A key component of the Master Plan was the updating
of flow projections and the collection system hydraulic modeling. A capital improvement program was
developed to implement the required sewer capacity and rehabilitation improvements through the year
2030.
The Master Plan continues to support the July 17, 2002 Board of Directors' Resolution No.
OCSD 02-14, "Establishing the Policy for Level of Treatment of Wastewater Discharged into the Ocean."
This resolution established the District's policy to treat all wastewater discharges into the ocean to
secondary treatment standards thereby providing for continued public safety, marine ecosystem
95197910.4 22
protection, and water reclamation opportunities. To implement this policy, District staff was directed to
immediately proceed with the planning, design, and implementation of treatment methods that will allow
the agency to meet Clean Water Act secondary treatment standards. The District currently estimates that
it will complete these improvements by December 2012 at a total capital improvement cost of $623.1
million to reach secondary treatment discharge standards. In the interim, the District operates the plants
to maximize available secondary treatment and to reduce effluent biochemical oxygen demand and
suspended solid discharges below currently allowed limits.
The District also annually reviews and validates its current Capital Improvement Program
("CIP"). The District expects to meet future demands on the Wastewater System through the CIP. This
program has been developed to satisfy anticipated regulatory requirements, increased population,
anticipated rehabilitations and replacements, additional treatment requirements, conservation, energy and
other resource savings considerations, odor control improvements, and air quality protection needs.
Through 2030,the District's current CIP is scheduled to accomplish:
• Major rehabilitation of the existing headworks, primary treatment, secondary treatment,
outfall pumping, and solids handling facilities at both treatment plants;
• Replace and rehabilitate nine of the District's outlying pumping stations, and 26 trunk
sewer improvement projects;
• Reduce fence line odor to levels that do not generate odor complaints; and
• Achieve full secondary treatment standards.
The 2011 CIP validation study resulted in revisions to the CIP. The CIP currently consists of 145
individual capital projects through Fiscal Year 2030-31 with remaining outlays of$1.8 billion. Over the
next five years, the CIP contemplates average annual capital expenditures of $180 million.
Implementation of full secondary treatment standards is scheduled to be completed on or before
December 31, 2012. A summary of total estimated capital costs for the CIP for Fiscal Years 2011-12
through 2030-31 is set forth in Table 5 below.

The CIP included budgeted expenditures of$129.2 million in Fiscal Year 2011-12. The largest
cash outlay planned for plant facilities in Fiscal Year 2011-12 was $16.6 million for the Digester
Rehabilitation at Reclamation Plant No. 1 (total project cost is expected to be $55.5 million). The CIP's
95197910.4 23
largest collection system project for Fiscal Year 2011-12 is $9.7 million for the rehabilitation of Magnolia
Trunk Sewer.
Groundwater Replenishment System
The District has taken a multi jurisdictional approach to planning for capital facilities because
many of the methods for reducing or managing flows involve other jurisdictions. One such project is the
Groundwater Replenishment System ("GWRS"). In March 2001, the District entered into an agreement
with the OCWD to design and construct Phase 1 of the GWRS. The capital cost of this Phase was shared
equally (50% shares) by each agency. The GWRS is a joint effort by the two agencies to provide
reclaimed water for replenishment of the Orange County Groundwater Basin and to augment the seawater
intrusion barrier. Phase I of the GWRS became operational in January of 2008 with an expected water
production of 72,000 acre-feet per year once all secondary treatment facilities are online. hi 2010, GWRS
produced approximately 68,000 acre-feet. The Phase 11 expansion is expected to start construction in
November 2011 to add about 33,000 acre-feet per year. Phase II and all future phases will be funded
solely by OCWD and could expand capacity up to a total capacity of 145,600 acre-feet per year. The
District and OCWD amended the 2001 agreement in 2009 to dedicate the water supply from the District
to OCWD for these future phases; however, no capital funding is anticipated or dedicated from the
District for these future expansion phases.
OCWD and the District have agreed to share equally in the cost of the Joint GWRS
Microfiltration Backwash Redirection Project which will increase the quantity of water delivered during
the night when the flows are low. This project will save the District operational costs in the form of
reduced primary treatment chemical usage. The total estimated budget for the District is $1,061,000.
Preferred Level of Treatment
In July 2002, the Board of Directors approved a change from the existing level of treatment, a
blend of 50% advanced primary and 50% secondary treated wastewater, to full secondary treatment
standards. The reasoning behind the decision to move to full secondary standards included (1)the
possibility (no matter how remote) that bacteria from the ocean outfall may at times reach the shoreline,
(2)upgraded treatment will aid additional water reclamation with the OCWD, and (3) the clearly stated
public preference for upgrading wastewater treatment at the time.
In an effort to eliminate most bacteria from being released from the ocean outfall, in 2002 the
District began to use chlorine bleach to disinfect the effluent and then apply sodium bisulfate to remove
remaining chlorine prior to releasing the treated wastewater to the ocean. The District continues to take
measures to limit the chlorine residual to a very low level prior to release. This mode of disinfection is
expected to continue while the District studies, designs and constructs permanent facilities, and considers
alternate disinfection technologies. Beginning in Fiscal Year 2006-07, the addition of disinfection
treatment required an annual outlay ranging from $5.3 million to $7.2 million for additional chemicals
from the operating budget of the District.
Following the determination by the Board of Directors in July 2002 to implement full secondary
standards, staff prepared the Secondary Treatment NPDES Permit Application that was required to be
submitted to the regional office of EPA and the RWQCB in December 2002. An NPDES permit has been
issued to the District and the District is currently operating under the Consent Decree. See "THE
DISTRICT—Permits, Licenses and Other Regulations."
Currently, the District estimates that it will take approximately one year and require
approximately $[193.1] million to complete the additional secondary treatment capacity project. In the
95197910.4 24
interim, the District will operate the plants to maximize available secondary treatment and to reduce
effluent biochemical oxygen demand and suspended solid discharges below those currently allowed
limits.
Biosolids Management
The District produces digested and dewatered biosolids for beneficial use. By 2013,the District's
biosolids production is anticipated to peak at approximately 766 wet tons per day (wtpd) when new
secondary treatment processes are fully operational, and then is projected to decline to approximately 625
— 650 wtpd by 2016 when the IRWD's solids processing facilities and the District's centrifuges
commence operations.
The District has a diversified biosolids management portfolio:
Contract
Contractor Location Product (tons uer day and term)
Synagro Kern County, CA and Compost 250 tpd— 10 years with two
La Paz County,AZ five-year renewals, expires

Tule Ranch Dateland and Yuma Land application 175-225 tpd—One(1)year
Counties,AZ expires 12/31/2012
The District's contractors provide back-up biosolids management options in Arizona that include
land application recycling and landfill disposal. Together, these options have the capacity to manage
seven to eight times the District's daily biosolids production to ensure sustainable, consistent, and reliable
operations. The District's Long-Range Biosolids Management Plan ("LRBMP") was approved by the
Board in December 2003. The goal of the LRBMP was to develop a sustainable,reliable, and economical
program for long-range biosolids management providing environmentally sound practices that meet the
stringent federal, state, and local regulatory requirements.
As a result of the LRBMP recommendations, Synagro's existing biosolids management contract
was amended in April 2004, committing 250 tons per day of biosolids to be composted at Synagro's
South Kern Compost Manufacturing Facility,which started operations in late 2006.
In May 2006, the District entered into a contract with EnerTech Environmental, Inc. to convert
225 tons of biosolids per day to a renewable fuel at EnerTech's proposed facility in Rialto, California.
The EnerTech solution is a new, patented heat treatment process that reduces the energy needs to dry the
biosolids in a conventional dryer, which creates the fuel pellets. The renewable fuel pellets called eFuel
are sold to cement manufacturers that use the pellets as fuel to heat their kilns, which the residual ash
from the fuel combustion becomes part of the cement product, resulting in no residual waste byproducts.
EnerTech started commissioning its facility in October 2008 and anticipates completion in 2012.
The cost to the District for biosolids management decreased from $20.6 million in Fiscal Year
2009-10 to $17.8 million in Fiscal Year 2010-11. The Fiscal Year 2011-12 budget is $18.5 million.
95197910.4 25
Urban Runoff
The Board of Directors, recognizing that the beaches of the County were being affected by
pollution carried by urban runoff, adopted Resolution No. OCSD 00-04 on April 26, 2000, agreeing to
temporarily accept dry weather urban runoff into the Wastewater System. A subsequent revision to this
initial policy, OCSD 00-22 adopted September 27, 2000, added an aggregate 10 million gallons per day
("MGD") capacity limit for the urban runoff flows. In addition, the resolution declares that the District
will initially waive fees and charges associated with authorized discharges of dry weather urban runoff to
the Wastewater System until the total volume of all runoff discharges exceeds 4 MGD calculated on a
monthly average, or until the District modifies this provision of its policy. Resolution No. OCSD 01-07
was adopted March 28, 2001 to clarify the District's indemnification liability. In June 2002, legislation
was enacted to formally allow the District's charter to include the treatment of urban runoff flows.
There are a total of 19 active urban runoff diversion structures, four owned and operated by the
County, 11 owned and operated by the City of Huntington Beach, one owned and operated by the City of
Newport Beach, two owned and operated by the IRWD, and one owned and operated by The Irvine
Company. From July 1, 2010 through June 30, 2011, the District received a daily average urban runoff
flow ranging between 0.334 and 3.31 MGD with a cumulative total of 555 million gallons for this period.
The daily urban runoff volume remained at less than half of the 4 MGD fee threshold for ten months out
of the twelve month period. At the existing operations and maintenance cost of$1,311.79 per million
gallons(2010-2011 rate).
The District's Environmental Compliance Division administers the Dry Weather Urban Runoff
Program through the issuance of a discharge permit for each of the diversion structures. The permit
functions as a control mechanism to establish discharge limits, constituent monitoring, and flow metering
requirements, as well as provide requirements that specifically prohibit storm runoff and authorizes
discharge only during periods of dry weather. hi addition, the District conducts quarterly sampling and
analysis of the urban runoff discharges to ensure discharge limit compliance for the various regulated
constituents.
The Dry Weather Urban Runoff Program's effectiveness is measured by improvements in the
quality of recreational waters of the County as manifested by a decline in beach advisories and closures.
The most recent report on beach quality by Orange County Health Agency, 2009 Annual Ocean, Harbor,
&Bay Water Quality Report details the total number of Beach Mile Days that were posted due to AB 411
standards violations between April 1 and October 31. Throughout the County overall,the total number of
Beach Mile Days posted in 2009 (123.5)was the lowest total on record for the 10-year period from 2000-
2009. In addition, the total number of Beach Mile Days posted has declined in the County for four
consecutive years.
Since inception of the program, the areas directly benefitting from the urban runoff diversions,
Huntington State Beach and Huntington City Beach, have had significant reductions in Beach Posting
Days and Beach Mile Days, with the exception of a spike at Huntington State in 2007. Though there are
numerous variables impacting water quality at any given instant, the dry weather diversion appears to
have contributed positively to the overall downward trend in beach closures at these locations. As a
consequence, the Dry Weather Urban Runoff Program appears to have benefitted the beach going public
as well as all the clean environment stakeholders of the County.
95197910.4 26
Integrated Emergency Response Program
In recognition of the potential damage which could occur in the event of a major earthquake,
flood, or other disaster, the District implemented an Integrated Emergency Response Program (the
"IERP") in 1979. The IERP is a two-volume plan which contains policies, plans and procedures
preparing for, and responding to, emergencies. The District also analyzed disaster preparedness issues
and policies within the Master Plan, and within a 1994 document titled Fault Rupture Hazard
Investigation—Wastewater Treatment Plant No. 2.
The disaster preparedness plan included in the Master Plan reviewed two possible major
earthquake scenarios: an 8.3 Richter magnitude ("M") earthquake on the southern San Andreas fault
system and an M 7.0 earthquake on the Newport-Inglewood fault zone, which includes Plant No. 2. An
M 8.3 earthquake on the southern San Andreas fault, while on the whole more destructive than the M 7.0
Newport-Inglewood fault, may result in less damage to the District's service area due to the distance of
the fault from most of the service area. However, the Master Plan stated that damage from such a major
earthquake on the San Andreas fault would be extensive. Also, the Master Plan indicated that an M 7.0
earthquake on the Newport-Inglewood fault within five miles of the District's sewerage facilities could
cause major destruction to those facilities. The disaster preparedness plan in the Master Plan indicated
that it would not be economically feasible to upgrade all of the existing sanitary sewerage facilities to
survive an earthquake of this magnitude along the Newport-Inglewood fault. The IERP outlines the
policies and employee actions to be taken before, during and after an earthquake, earthquake response
guidelines and damage assessment procedures.
The Master Plan analyzed the vulnerability of the sanitary sewerage facilities and operations of
the District and planned a risk reduction program wherein the vulnerability of many of the District's
sanitary sewerage facilities to an earthquake could be reduced by recommended retrofit construction
measures. The Master Plan also recommended that designs of existing major structures which were
constructed prior to development of current seismic design standards be reviewed and the structures
strengthened,if necessary.
Since the Master Plan and the 1994 Report, the District has completed retrofitting where deemed
appropriate. Pursuant to the Master Plan, all recent and future projects have been, and will be, designed
to the same high earthquake code standards as set for other essential services, such as hospitals and fire
stations. Many of the older buildings analyzed in the Master Plan have been replaced by structures built
after 1989.
The Army Corps of Engineers' "All-River Plan" has mitigated any future flooding of the Santa
Ana River system and potential threats to the District's Wastewater System. Also, both Plant No. 1 and
Plant No. 2 are built to federal standards.
The disaster preparedness plan in the Strategic Plan investigates the damage potential posed by
coastal flooding, tsunamis (large ocean waves generated by seismic activity) and windstorms. No
assurance can be given that any such events would not have a material adverse impact on the Wastewater
System.
The Strategic Plan also makes recommendations regarding fire protection of the Wastewater
System. Most of the structures at Plant No. 1 and Plant No. 2 are constructed of fire-resistant materials.
The IERP describes the procedures needed to respond to a possible disaster. For more information
regarding emergency response policies,the disaster preparedness plan described in the Strategic Plan and
the IERP can be reviewed at the District's office.
95197910.4 27
Five-Year Strategic Planning
In November 2007, the Board of Directors adopted a new comprehensive strategic plan to steer
the District's efforts and engage the organization to envision service levels and operational needs for the
next five years. The Strategic Plan has been updated annually to continue looking at a five-year horizon
(each, a "Five-Year Plan"). The November 2010 update focused on internal operations for economy and
efficiency. The General Manager's Office initiated an effort, known as the Beyond 2012 Strategic
Planning Framework, to guide all future planning and more tightly integrate our priorities, strategic
planning and budget implementation. Working with the executive team the General Manager solicited
input from District managers then held a workshop with the Board of Directors in October 2010. At this
workshop the Board members discussed and deliberated changes and additions to the plan. Driven by our
Mission, Vision and Core Values, this 2010 Strategic Plan Update continues an aggressive effort to meet
the sanitation, health, and safety needs of its more than 2.5 million customers while protecting the
environment.
Since 2007, 72%percent of the strategic goals have been completed. As a result of the discussion
at the October 2010 workshop, one new goal was added to the plan:
• Full-Cost Recovery—Conduct a comprehensive review of the Sanitation District's urban
runoff diversion program and ensure a fair share recovery of costs for services.
This Strategic Plan continues to chart a focused roadmap of success for the future of the District.
It addresses critical issues and challenges and communicates clear and concise future direction to District
staff.
DISTRICT REVENUES
Sewer Service Charges
General. The District has the power to establish fees and charges for services of the Wastewater
System. Such fees and charges are established by the District's Board of Directors and are not subject to
review or approval by any other agencies.
In Fiscal Year 1997-98, a Rate Advisory Committee (the "RAC") was established comprised of
representatives from industrial, commercial and residential users. The goal of the RAC was to examine
the then current rate structure and, if needed, develop recommendations for change. The RAC analyzed
the District's rate structure to determine whether its then current sewer service user fees (now known as
"Sewer Service Charges") were equitable among residential and industrial customers. This review
resulted in a proposal to expand the number of non-residential user categories from one to 23 and to
provide for gradual rate increases in seven of the nine Revenue Areas. The increase in the number of
categories provided a more equitable fee structure and also provided for future reductions in single-family
residential Sewer Service Charges. The Sewer Service Charges for those categories were based on the
average flow and strength of wastewater discharged for each property type and remain currently in use.
The Board of Directors establishes the annual sanitary sewer service charges by ordinance. The
sanitary sewer service charge ordinances are adopted by a two-thirds vote of the Board of Directors as
required under law after conducting a noticed public hearing in compliance with Proposition 218. See
"LIMITATIONS ON TAXES AND REVENUES — Article XIIIC and Article XIIID of the California
Constitution." In May 2002, the Board of Directors adopted District Ordinance No. OCSD 18 (the"2002
Ordinance") which became effective on July 1, 2002. The 2002 Ordinance included a single family
residential ("SFR") rate increase, the underlying basis for all sanitary sewer service charges including
95197910.4 28
sanitary sewer rates for multi-family residential units as well as most commercial and industrial
properties, of $7.50 per year, or 9.4%, to $87.50 per year. In June 2003, the Board of Directors
authorized a Proposition 218 notice on proposed"not to exceed"rate increases for each year over the next
five years.
The District collects Sewer Service Charges from property owners through the semi-annual
property tax bill distributed by the County throughout the District, except in Revenue Area No. 14.
Pursuant to the IRWD Agreement, the District receives quarterly fee payments from the IRWD which
directly collects fees from customers through a monthly billing procedure in Revenue Area No. 14.
The District has covenanted in the Master Agreement to fix, prescribe and collect fees and
charges to satisfy certain coverage requirements as further described under "SECURITY AND
SOURCES OF PAYMENT FOR THE NOTES—Rate Covenant"herein.
Residential and Commercial Sewer Service Charges. Pursuant to the 2002 Ordinance, the
District established residential Sewer Service Charges, except within Revenue Area No. 14, based on the
cost of services and facilities provided to each customer of the District. The noticed public hearing held
in connection with the 2002 Ordinance considered increases in the amount of the annual charges of
approximately 20% per year for each of the then following five years. In May 2005, the Board of
Directors adopted Ordinance No. OCSD-26 increasing the Fiscal Year 2005-06 single family residential
rate, the underlying basis for all sewer service charges, by 31%, from $115.00 to $151.00 for all
ratepayers, except those located in Revenue Area No. 14. In June 2007, the Board of Directors adopted
Ordinance No. OCSD-32 increasing the Fiscal Year 2007-08 single family residential rate by 9.8%.
On February 27, 2008, the Board of Directors approved increases in its sanitary sewer service
charges for all single family and multi-family residential units, and for all commercial properties. The
Board increased the single family residential rate,which is the basis for all of the District's sewer service
charges,by 10.4% for Fiscal Year 2008-09, 10.0% for Fiscal Year 2009-10, 10.4% for Fiscal Year 2010-
11, 9.4%for Fiscal Year 2011-12 and 10.1%for Fiscal Year 2012-13.

Industrial Sewer Service Charges. The District charges industrial Sewer Service Charges to
customers discharging high-strength or high-volume wastes into the sewer systems. Customers subject to
industrial Sewer Service Charges are billed directly by the District. The fee charged to each customer is
based on the customer's sewage volume, the concentration of suspended solids and biochemical oxygen
demand. Pursuant to the 2002 Ordinance, rates for each component factor were revised for certain
industrial users in order to be consistent with the rates charged to residential users. Total industrial Sewer
Service Charges in Fiscal Year 2010-11 were approximately $10.9 million. Industrial Sewer Service
Charges are applied to both operating and capital funds.
The Sewer Service Charge increases described above are necessary to meet the District's cash
flow needs arising from the addition of disinfection treatment and other operating requirements. As
discussed under the caption "THE DISTRICT — 2009 Facilities Master Plan and Capital Improvement
Program," the 2011 CIP Validation Study developed the capital improvement program to ensure
secondary treatment standards are met as quickly as possible while providing for increased flows and
rehabilitation and refurbishment of existing facilities. As projected through Fiscal Year 2030-31, the cash
flow needs of the CIP total approximately $1.8 billion. Over the next five years the CIP contemplates
average annual capital expenditures of$180 million.

Additional Revenues
The District has several sources of additional revenue, including property taxes, Capital Facilities
Capacity Charges, capacity rights,permit and inspection fees and interest earnings.
Property Taxes. The District receives approximately 2.5% of the one percent County ad valorem
property tax levy, based on the allocation procedure under State law. Property tax revenues were $40.0
million in Fiscal Year 2005-06, $60.6 million in Fiscal Year 2006-07, $65.2 million in Fiscal Year 2007-
08, $66.4 million in Fiscal Year 2008-09 and$64.8 million in Fiscal Year 2009-10. In Fiscal Years 2003-
04 and 2004-05 the State implemented a two-year 40% secured property tax shift away from independent
special districts due to the fiscal crisis occurring at that time. During the 2004-05 State Budget process,
the State Legislature and the Governor enacted Senate Bill 1096 and Assembly Bill 2115, effectively
shifting an additional $1.3 billion in local property tax revenues from counties, cities, special districts and
redevelopment agencies to schools and community colleges. See "LIMITATIONS ON TAXES AND
REVENUES—Proposition IA." Total assessed valuations increased in the 2005-06 Fiscal Year by 10.3%
over the 2004-05 Fiscal Year, and the full value of these increases was received on all non-secured
property tax distributions. The District received its full allotment of property tax revenues (no State
property tax shift)beginning in Fiscal Year 2006-07. See Table 14 below. The District currently projects
its property tax receipts to remain approximately level through Fiscal Year 2012-13. The apportionment
of the ad valorem tax is pursuant to a revenue program adopted by the District in April 1979 to comply
with EPA and RWQCB mandates, legal and contractual requirements and Board of Directors policy.
Capital Facilities Capacity Charges. Capital Facilities Capacity Charges (commonly referred to
as connection fees) are one-time fees with two components, paid at the time property is developed and
connected to the Wastewater System. The fees are imposed by the District pursuant to Section 5471 of
the California Health and Safety Code and are levied to pay a portion of the District's capital costs and for
access to capacity in the Wastewater System. Currently, the District has Capital Facilities Capacity
Charges of $3,341 per residential unit (three-bedroom); however, under the current industrial use
ordinance, additional Capital Facilities Capacity Charges can be imposed on industrial users who place
larger than average demand on the Wastewater System. Member cities and sanitary districts collect
Capital Facilities Capacity Charges for the District when building permits are issued. Capital Facilities
Capacity Charges are reviewed annually to reflect the changes in the value of the Wastewater System to
which a new customer is connecting.
On December 15, 1999, the Board of Directors approved District Ordinance No. OCSD 99-11
(the"1999 Ordinance")which established a comprehensive Capital Facilities Capacity Charge. The 1999
Ordinance, effective as of January 1, 2000, renamed connection fees as Capital Facilities Capacity
Charges and provided a more equitable schedule of fees among industrial, commercial and residential
users. Pursuant to the 1999 Ordinance, Capital Facilities Capacity Charges were revised for high demand
industrial users in five incremental increases from 1999 through 2001. For a summary of historical and
projected revenues derived from Capital Facilities Capacity Charges, see Table 14 and Table 15 below.
Pursuant to an agreement with the IRWD, the IRWD is not required to pay Capital Facilities
Capacity Charges and, in exchange, the IRWD provides funding to the District for the construction costs
of certain wastewater collection, transmission, treatment and disposal facilities to be used by the IRWD
and is obligated to make certain payments to the District for certain services arising from the Wastewater
System(including any standby or availability charges).
95197910.4 32
Sale of Capacity. The District has entered into agreements with the Santa Ana Watershed Project
Authority ("SAWPA") whereby wastewater from Upper Santa Ana River Basin dischargers can be
transported through the District's Santa Ana River Interceptor to the District's wastewater treatment
facilities. This program was developed in the early 1970s. The agreements establish control mechanisms
regarding the quality of wastes deposited into the Wastewater System. At the present time, SAWPA has
purchased and paid for 30 mg/d of maximum regulated flow capacity rights in the District's Santa Ana
River Interceptor and 17 mg/d of monthly average flow capacity in the District's wastewater treatment
plants. Projected revenues from SAWPA range from $6.3 million to $7.2 million over the next four
years. Additional treatment plant capacity can be purchased in increments at the District's current
replacement cost.
Federal Subsidy Payments. hi connection with the District's Revenue Obligations, Series 2010A
(the "2010A Certificates") and the District's Revenue Obligations, Series 2010C (the "2010C
Certificates"), issued as "Build America Bonds," the District will receive certain federal subsidy
payments of approximately $5.1 million annually through 2031 and lesser amounts thereafter until 2044.
Subsidy payments with respect to the 2010A Certificates and the 2010C Certificates will constitute
Revenues as defined in the Master Agreement. In its financial reports, the District accounts for subsidy
payments received in connection with the 2010A Certificates and the 2010C Certificates as a reduction in
interest expense with respect to such obligations.
Wastewater Treatment History
The wastewater flows for Fiscal Year 2006-07 through Fiscal Year 2010-11 were 229 mg/d, 221
mg/d, 211 mg/d, 196 mg/d and 207 mg/d, respectively. The highest flow rate experienced was during El
Nino storm periods. Peak flows of 500 mg/d were recorded in December 1997 and February 1998. There
were no sewer failures or overflows during these events.
Customers
The historical number of customers served by the District for the Fiscal Years 2006-07 through
2010-11 and the projected number of customers served by the District for the Fiscal Years 2011-12
through 2015-16, identified in Equivalent Dwelling Units ("EDUs"), are set forth in Table 8 and Table 9
below. As discussed below, sewer service charges are based on the expected amount of wastewater flow
for a single family dwelling. This base amount is considered the "equivalent dwelling unit." The EDUs
set forth in Table 8 equate to total Sewer Service Charge levies while the EDUs set forth in Table 9
equate to total sewer service charge collections.

Assessed Valuation
The assessed valuation of property in the County is established by the County Assessor, except
for public utility property which is assessed by the State Board of Equalization. Due to changes in
assessment required under State Constitution Article XIIIA, the County assessment roll no longer
purports to be proportional to market value. See "LIMITATIONS ON TAXES AND REVENUES"
herein. Generally, property can be reappraised to market value only upon a change in ownership or
completion of new construction. The assessed value of property that has not incurred a change of
ownership or new construction must be adjusted annually to reflect inflation at a rate not to exceed 2%
per year based on the State consumer price index. In the event of declining property value caused by
substantial damage, destruction, economic or other factors, the assessed value must be reduced
temporarily to reflect market value. For the definition of full cash value and more information on
property tax limitations and adjustments, see"LIMITATIONS ON TAXES AND REVENUES"herein.
The County Assessor determines and enrolls a value for each parcel of taxable real property in the
County every year. The value review may result in a reduction in value. Taxpayers in the County also
may appeal the determination of the County Assessor with respect to the assessed value of their property.
Table 11 below shows a five-year history of assessed valuations in the District since Fiscal Year
2006-07.

Prior to 2006, the housing market in Southern California experienced significant price
appreciation. During this period,many homebuyers financed the purchase of their new homes using non-
conventional loans. Such loans were made with little or no down payment and included adjustable
interest rates subject to being reset at higher rates on a specified date or upon the occurrence of specified
conditions. In addition, many of these loans allow the borrower to pay interest only for an initial period,
in some cases up to ten years.
Starting in 2006, housing developers, appraisers and real estate consultants began to report
weakening of prices for single-family homes. There has been tightening of underwriting criteria for
mortgage loans such that most lenders now require down payments, stricter verification,higher income to
loan ratios, higher credit ratios or some combination of such factors. These factors have contributed to a
decrease in home sales as prospective purchasers are unable to qualify for loans. Declining home sales in
some areas of Southern California have resulted in a decrease in home prices. As home values decline,
homebuyers may not be able to obtain replacement financing because the outstanding loan balances
exceed the value of their homes. Due to the limiting effect of Proposition 13 on assessed valuations,
declines in the market value of property in the County will not necessarily result in decreased property tax
revenue in the near term. In fact, assessed valuations of property in the District for Fiscal Year 2008-09
increased by$14.9 billion, or 5.08%, over Fiscal Year 2007-08 valuations. For Fiscal Years 2009-10 and
2010-11, however, the County reduced assessed valuations by 0.98% and 0.27%, respectively, as a result
of further decreases in market value, leading to decreased property tax collections. Assessed valuations
tend to lag economic activity. Given the severity of the recent recession, the sharp decline in the market
value of real estate, and the complexity of the methodology by which property is assessed, the District
cannot accurately forecast the long-term impact of the recent recession on assessed valuations and
property tax receipts.
Tax Levies and Delinquencies
Property taxes are based on assessed valuation which is determined as described under
"DISTRICT REVENUES—Assessed Valuation"herein. In accordance with the California Revenue and
Taxation Code, the County tax collector collects secured tax levies for each Fiscal Year. Property taxes
on the secured roll are due in two installments, on November 1 and February 1. The District currently
participates in the County's Teeter Plan under which the District receives annually 100% of the secured
property tax levies and Sewer Service Charges to which it otherwise is entitled, regardless of whether the
County has actually collected the levies. This alternative method provides for funding each taxing entity
included in the Teeter Plan with its total secured property taxes during the year the taxes are levied,
including any amount uncollected at fiscal year end. Under this plan, the District's general fund receives
95197910.4 36
the full amount of secured property taxes levied each year on its behalf and, for so long as such plan
remains in effect, the participating entities, such as the District, no longer experience delinquent taxes.
The County's general fund is the designated recipient of future collections of penalties and interest on all
delinquent taxes collected on behalf of participants in this alternative method of apportionment. In recent
years, the County has experienced delinquencies of Sewer Service Charges in the District of
approximately 2%.
Table 12 below presents a five-year history of the District's ad valorem total property tax and
Sewer Service Charge levies.

Budgetary Process
The District's operating fund budget relies on revenues from Sewer Service Charges and property
taxes, both of which are collected on the property tax bill. See "DISTRICT REVENUES — Sewer
Service Charges" and" Additional Revenues." The District receives tax revenues from the County in
eight allocations, with the largest receipts in December and April. The District operates on a Fiscal Year
beginning each July 1. The operating fund budgets include funds to cover the dry period of each tax year,
i.e., the period from the beginning of the Fiscal Year until the first taxes are received. The dry-period
requirement is budgeted at one-half of the annual operating fund budgeted expenditures. The District
uses the accrual method of accounting in its budgets. The District has conformed to its budgets for the
last five fiscal years and is conforming to its budget for the current fiscal year.
The District's annual budget preparation process begins in January of each year and concludes in
June upon its adoption. The General Manager reviews the final operating budgets and then distributes
them to the Directors and District Committees for consideration. The Board of Directors then adopts the
proposed annual budgets,with any revisions,in June of each year.
Budgetary control is exercised at the individual Department level and administrative policies
provide guidelines on budget transfers and the authorization necessary to implement transfers. A budget
adjustment is a transfer which does not change the total appropriated amount and does not require Board
of Directors action. Approval may be granted by the General Manager or the Department Head in certain
circumstances. Department Heads have the discretion to reapportion funds between certain line items
within a division but may not exceed total appropriated amounts for each department. They may also
transfer staff across divisional lines. The General Manager and Board of Directors must approve
additional capital outlay items.
95197910.4 37
A budget amendment is an adjustment to the total appropriated amount which was not included in
the original budget. These supplemental appropriations require formal action by the Board of Directors.
Prior year reserves or fund balances may be appropriated to fund items not previously included in the
adopted budget. Reserves or fund balances exceeding minimum amounts required by fiscal policies may
be appropriated if it is determined to be in the best interest of the District. Directors may also appropriate
reserves in case of emergencies or unusual circumstances.
Reserves
The District has an established reserve policy with eight separate categories for its reserve funds.
Collectively, these individual reserve requirements total over $482 million for each year of the current
ten-year cash flow forecast. In Fiscal Year 2009-10, Financial Management staff and the Board of
Directors concluded that given the nature of the likely events that may cause a withdrawal from the
District's reserves and the degree of overlap among reserve categories,the total amount reserved need not
equal the sum of each separate reserve category. As a result, the District adjusted the application of its
reserve policy, leading to a reduction of$40 million of the accumulated total, or approximately 8 percent.
The following table sets forth actual reserves at June 30, 2008, June 30, 2009, June 30, 2010 and June 30,
2011, for each fund. Reserve levels are calculated in accordance with the District's reserve policy.

in accordance with the District's reserve policy. As of June 30, 2011, $90.2 million of Debt Service Required
Reserves were held in Obligation Reserve Funds restricted by covenant for the specific obligations for which
such Obligation Reserve Funds were established.

95197910.4 38
The District has the following reserves:
The Cash Flow Requirements Reserve was established to fund operation, maintenance and
certificates of participation debt service expenses for the first half of the fiscal year, prior to
the receipt of the first installment of the property tax allocation and sewer service user fees
which are collected as a separate line item on the property tax bill. The level of this reserve is
established as the sum of an amount equal to six months operations and maintenance expense
and the total of certificates of participation debt service expenses due in the subsequent fiscal
year.
( The Operating Contingencies Reserve was established to provide for non-recurring
expenditures that were not anticipated when the annual budget and Sewer Service Charges
were adopted. The level of this reserve is equal to 10% of the District's annual operating
budget.
( The Capital Improvement Program Reserve was established to fund annual increments of the
Capital Improvement Program with a target level at one-half of the average annual Capital
Improvement Program through the year 2020. Levels higher and lower than the target can be
expected while the long-term financing and capital improvement programs are being
finalized.
The Catastrophic Loss, or Self-Insurance Reserve is established for property damage
including fire, flood and earthquake, general liability and workers' compensation. The level
of reserve in this fund is maintained at a level to fund the District's non-reimbursed costs
which are estimated to be $57 million.
The Capital Replacement and Refurbishment Reserve was established to provide 30% of the
funding to replace or refurbish the current collection, treatment and disposal facilities. The
current replacement value of these facilities is estimated to be approximately $6.92 billion.
The initial reserve level for this fund was established at $50 million and is augmented by
interest earnings and a portion of the annual Sewer Service Charges.
Debt Service Required Reserves include trustee-held amounts in any Obligation Reserve
Fund and additional amounts held by the District for the payment of debt service in
accordance with the District's reserve policy. The District's current policy is to maintain
reserves (including trustee-held reserves) for debt service in the amount of 10% of the
principal amount of the District's outstanding debt obligations.
The Rate Stabilization Reserve accumulates all available funds which exceed the targets for
all other reserves. The Rate Stabilization Reserve is a separate fund from the Rate
Stabilization Account established under the Trust Agreement. There is currently no
established target for this reserve and, because the reserves of all other funds have not been
exceeded,the reserve level for this reserve fund is zero for Fiscal Year 2009-10.

Projected Operating Data
Set forth in Table 15 below are projected operating results for the District for Fiscal Years 2011-
12 through 2015-16. These projections assume the number of projects and scheduled build out set forth
in the 2011 CIP Validation Study, and reflect Board-approved annual rate increases over the next two
years of 9.4%, and 10.1%, respectively. The following three years thereafter are projected at 7.0% for
each year. Principal expenditure components of these projections are derived from the 2011 CIP
Validation Study, which identified 176 individual capital projects through Fiscal Year 2030-31 with
remaining outlays of$1.8 billion. Much of the construction is scheduled during the next five years, with
average annual expenditures of$180 million. The District's CIP cash flow budget for Fiscal Year 2010-
11 was $179.6 million. The District's CIP cash flow budget for Fiscal Year 2011-12 is $129.2. This CIP
budget finances joint works treatment and disposal system improvement projects, and collection system
improvement projects. The preparation of such projections was based upon certain assumptions and
certain forecasts with respect to conditions that may occur in the future. While the District believes that
these assumptions and forecasts are reasonable for the purposes of the projected selected operating data,it
makes no representations that they will in fact occur. To the extent that actual future conditions differ
from those assumed herein,the data will vary.

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Operating Data
The District's Fiscal Year 2011-12 total operating, capital improvement, debt service, and other
financing requirement budget is $405.8 million, an 11.6 percent decrease over the prior year budget of
$459.0 million. The decrease in the Fiscal Year 2011-12 budget is primarily due to the timing of the
construction schedules on the implementation of the overall 20-year $1.8 billion Capital Improvement
Program. The District's Fiscal Years 2011-12 budgets include $129.2 million in capital improvement
outlays as the District moves towards reaching secondary treatment standards by the target date of
December 31, 2012, as specified by the Board of Directors' July 2002 resolution and in keeping with the
terms and conditions of its ocean discharge permit and related Consent Decree.
The Fiscal Year 2011-12 operations budget for the collection, treatment, and disposal of
wastewater is $154.7 million, a $2.2 million or 1.4 percent increase over the prior year budget of$152.5
million. Although individual expense categories will increase or decrease slightly, the overall increase to
the operating budget is primarily attributable to an increase in personnel costs which will increase $2.7
million, or 2.8 percent as a result of existing employee contract agreements as staffing has been reduced
by 4 full -time equivalent("FTE")positions in Fiscal Year 2011-12 to an authorized staffing level of 637
FTE positions. Contractual services have been budgeted at an increase of$1.5 million, or 6.4 percent, due
primarily to a $0.75 million, 4.5 percent increase in solids removal. Biosolids production is estimated to
increase at both plants by 8.3 percent in Fiscal Year 2011-12 to 287,000 wet tons due to increases in
secondary treatment as new secondary treatment processes become operational. Operating materials and
supplies are being proposed to decrease $1.6 million, or 6.5 percent, over the prior year due primarily to
the increases in chemical coagulants, odor control, and disinfection being less than anticipated. Utility
costs were increased by $0.4 million, or 4.3 percent over the prior year, primarily due to the increased
usage of electricity as secondary treatment facilities continue to become operational.
In preparation for the Fiscal Year 2010-12 budget, a strategic planning workshop was held by the
Board of Directors to review the capital program to deliver the level of services desired by the Board.
These levels of services and associated capital projects are included in the District's Five-Year Strategic
Plan. In addition, District staff reviewed each ongoing CIP project to ensure that the scope of the project
remains appropriate, and that the cost estimates have been accurately updated. The Fiscal Year 2011-12
CIP cash flow budget was approved at $129.2 million. The Fiscal Year 2010-12 CIP includes three
projects totaling $627 million over the life of the CIP to upgrade the District's treatment plants to meet
secondary treatment standards. This CIP also includes the 23 recommended projects identified in the
2009 Facilities Master Plan (the "Master Plan"). The result was the addition of $169.3 million to the
overall CIP through the year 2030. Over this period,the CIP will accomplish:
( Rehabilitation of the existing headworks, primary treatment, secondary treatment, outfall
pumping, and solids handling facilities at both treatment plants;
( Replacement and rehabilitation of nine of the District's outlying pumping stations, and
rehabilitation and upgrade of 29 trunk sewer improvement projects;
Optimization of the production of"power"and"biosolids"at each of the treatment plants;
Reclamation of up to 150 mg/d of the District's effluent; and
Secondary treatment standards by December 2012.
95197910.4 43
The 2009 CIP Validation Study reaffirmed the need for further rate increases in future years.
Based on the results of the CIP Validation Study and the Five-Year Plan, the Board of Directors adopted
Ordinance No. OCSD-35, increasing the sanitary sewer service charges by approximately 10 percent each
year for a five-year period beginning in Fiscal Year 2008-09. These rate increases were approved by a
vote of two-thirds of the members of the Board of Directors and are not subject to reaffirmation in any of
the future fiscal years covered by this five-year period. This action increased the single family residence
user rate, the basis for all sewer user fee rates, from$221 to $244 in Fiscal Year 2010-11, and to $267 in
Fiscal year 2011-12. See"DISTRICT REVENUES—Sewer Service Charges."
Investment of District Funds
State statutes authorize the District to invest in obligations of the United States Government, state
and local governmental agencies, negotiable certificates of deposits, bankers acceptances, commercial
paper, reverse repurchase agreements and a variety of other investment instruments which are allowable
under California Government Code Section 53600 et seq.
All District funds, except for Obligation Reserve Funds controlled by a bank trustee pursuant to
the provisions of Existing Senior Obligations, are managed by an external money manager, Pacific
Investment Management Company ("PIMCO"). Mellon Trust ("Mellon Trust") serves as the District's
independent custodian bank for its investment program. Callan Associates ("Callan") serves as the
District's independent advisor.
As of August 1,2011,the District's externally managed fund consisted of a short-term investment
portfolio of$54.6 million with an average maturity of 110 days, and a long-term investment portfolio of
$281.7 million with average maturities of 2.6 years. Investments consist of United States government
securities, corporate bonds and commercial paper. The District's portfolio contains no structured
investment vehicles("SIVs") or reverse repurchase agreements.
Deposits in banks are maintained in financial institutions which provide deposit protection on the
bank balance from the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. The California Government Code requires
State banks and savings and loans to secure local government deposits by pledging government securities
equal to 110% of the deposits or by pledging first trust deed mortgage notes equal to 150% of the
deposits.
The District's Investment Policy requires that the District invest public funds in a manner which
ensures the safety and preservation of capital while meeting reasonable anticipated operating expenditure
needs, achieving a reasonable rate of return and conforming to all state and local statutes governing the
investment of public funds. The primary objectives, in order, of the District's investment activities are
safety, liquidity and return on investment.
FINANCIAL OBLIGATIONS

principal amount of$218,600,000, of which$[181,700,000] is currently outstanding. The payment of the
purchase price of tendered 2000 Certificates is supported by a Standby Certificate Purchase Agreement,
dated as of August 1, 2010 (the "Standby Agreement'), by and between the District and Lloyds TSB
Bank plc, acting through its New York Branch. The Standby Agreement currently expires on August 24,
2012.
Anticipated Financings
From time to time the District expects to incur other obligations to finance portions of the CIP. In
fiscal year 2012-13, the District expects to incur further Additional Senior Obligations in an aggregate
principal amount of approximately $120 million for the purpose of funding the capital improvement
program. The District may also refinance outstanding obligations from time to time.

THE CORPORATION
The Corporation was organized on June 19, 2000 as a nonprofit public benefit corporation
pursuant to the Nonprofit Public Corporation law of the State. The Corporation's purpose is to render
assistance to the District in its acquisition of equipment, real property and improvements on behalf of the
District. Under its articles of incorporation, the Corporation has all powers conferred upon nonprofit
public benefit corporations by the laws of the State, provided that it will not engage in any activity other
than that which is necessary or convenient for, or incidental to the purposes for which it was formed.
The Corporation is a separate legal entity from the District. It is governed by a twenty-five
member Board of Directors. The Corporation has no employees. All staff work is performed by
employees of the District. The members of the Corporation's Board of Directors are the Board of
Directors of the District.
The District's Director of Finance and Administrative Services and other District employees are
available to provide staff support to the Corporation.
The Corporation has not entered into any material financing arrangements other than those
referred to in this Official Statement. Further information concerning the Corporation may be obtained
from the Orange County Sanitation District office at 10844 Ellis Avenue, Fountain Valley, California,
92708-7018.
LIMITATIONS ON TAXES AND REVENUES
Article XIIIA of the California Constitution
On June 6, 1978, California voters approved Proposition 13 ("Proposition 13"), which added
Article XIIIA to the State Constitution ("Article XIIIA"). Article XIIIA, as amended, limits the amount
of any ad valorem tax on real property to one percent of the full cash value thereof, except that additional
ad valorem taxes may be levied to pay debt service on (i)indebtedness approved by the voters prior to
July 1, 1978, (ii) (as a result of an amendment to Article XIIIA approved by State voters on June 3, 1986)
on bonded indebtedness for the acquisition or improvement of real property which has been approved on
or after July 1, 1978 by two-third of the voters on such indebtedness, and (iii)bonded indebtedness
incurred by a school district or community college district for the construction, reconstruction,
rehabilitation or replacement of school facilities or the acquisition or lease of real property for school
facilities, approved by 55% of the voters of the district, but only if certain accountability measures are
included in the proposition. Article XIIIA defines full cash value to mean "the county assessor's
valuation of real property as shown on the 1975-76 tax bill under "full cash value," or thereafter, the
appraised value of real property when purchased, newly constructed, or a change in ownership has
occurred after the 1975 assessment." The full cash value may be adjusted annually to reflect inflation at a
rate not to exceed 2%per year or to reflect a reduction in the consumer price index or comparable data for
the area under the taxing jurisdiction, or reduced in the event of declining property values caused by
substantial damage, destruction, or other factors. Legislation enacted by the State Legislature to
implement Article XIIIA provides that notwithstanding any other law, local agencies may not levy any ad
valorem property tax except to pay debt service on indebtedness approved by the voters as described
above.
95197910.4 46
Legislation Implementing Article XIIIA
Legislation has been enacted and amended a number of times since 1978 to implement Article
XIIIA. Under current law, local agencies are no longer permitted to levy directly any property tax(except
to pay voter-approved indebtedness). The one percent property tax is automatically levied by the County
and distributed according to a formula among taxing agencies. The formula apportions the tax roughly in
proportion to the relative shares of taxes levied prior to 1989.
Increases of assessed valuation resulting from reappraisals of property due to new construction,
change in ownership or from the 2% annual adjustment are allocated among the various jurisdictions in
the "taxing area" based upon their respective "situs." Any such allocation made to a local agency
continues as part of its allocation in future years.
Beginning in the 1981-82 fiscal year, assessors in the State no longer record property values on
tax rolls at the assessed value of 25% of market value which was expressed as $4 per$100 assessed value.
All taxable property is now shown at full market value on the tax rolls. Consequently, the tax rate is
expressed as $1 per $100 of taxable value. All taxable property value included in this Official Statement
is shown at 100% of market value (unless noted differently) and all tax rates reflect the $1 per $100 of
taxable value.
Article XIIIB of the California Constitution
An initiative to amend the State Constitution entitled"Limitation of Government Appropriations"
was approved on September 6, 1979, thereby adding Article XIIIB to the State Constitution ("Article
XIIIB"). Under Article XIIIB,the State and each local governmental entity has an annual"appropriations
limit" and is not permitted to spend certain moneys that are called "appropriations subject to limitation"
(consisting of tax revenues, state subventions and certain other funds) in an amount higher than the
appropriations limit. Article XIIIB does not affect the appropriations of moneys that are excluded from
the definition of"appropriations subject to limitation," including debt service on indebtedness existing or
authorized as of January 1, 1979, or bonded indebtedness subsequently approved by the voters. In
general terms, the appropriations limit is to be based on certain 1978-79 expenditures, and is to be
adjusted annually to reflect changes in consumer prices, populations, and services provided by these
entities. Among other provisions of Article XIIIB, if these entities' revenues in any year exceed the
amounts permitted to be spent,the excess would have to be returned by revising tax rates or fee schedules
over the subsequent two years.
"Appropriations subject to limitation" are authorizations to spend "proceeds of taxes," which
consist of tax revenues, state subventions and certain other funds, including proceeds from regulatory
licenses, user charges or other fees to the extent that such proceeds exceed"the cost reasonably borne by
such entity in providing the regulation, product or service," but "proceeds of taxes" excludes tax refunds
and some benefit payments such as unemployment insurance. No limit is imposed on appropriations of
funds which are not "proceeds of taxes," such as reasonable user charges or fees, and certain other non-
tax funds.
Not included in the Article XIIIB limit are appropriations for the debt service costs of bonds
existing or authorized by January 1, 1979, or subsequently authorized by the voters, appropriations
required to comply with mandates of courts or the federal government and appropriations for qualified
capital outlay projects. The appropriations limit may also be exceeded in certain cases of emergency.
95197910.4 47
The appropriations limit for the District in each year is based on the District's limit for the prior
year, adjusted annually for changes in the cost of living and changes in population, and adjusted, where
applicable, for transfer of financial responsibility of providing services to or from another unit of
government. The change in the cost of living is, at the District's option, either (1) the percentage change
in State per capita personal income, or (2) the percentage change in the local assessment roll on
nonresidential property. Either test is likely to be greater than the change in the cost of living index,
which was used prior to Proposition 111. Change in population is to be measured either within the
jurisdiction of the District or the County as a whole.
As amended by Proposition 111, the appropriations limit is tested over consecutive two-year
periods. Any excess of the aggregate "proceeds of taxes" received by a District over such two-year
period above the combined appropriations limits for those two years is to be returned to taxpayers by
reductions in tax rates or fee schedules over the subsequent two years. As originally enacted in 1979,the
District's appropriations limit was based on 1978-79 authorizations to expend proceeds of taxes and was
adjusted annually to reflect changes in cost of living and population (using different definitions, which
were modified by Proposition 111). Starting with Fiscal Year 1990-91, the District's appropriations limit
was recalculated by taking the actual Fiscal Year 1986-87 limit, and applying the annual adjustments as if
Proposition 111 had been in effect. The District does not anticipate that any such appropriations
limitations will impair its ability to make the Installment Payment as required by the Installment Purchase
Agreement.
Proposition 1A
Proposition IA ("Proposition IA"), proposed by the Legislature in connection with the 2004-05
Budget Act and approved by the voters in November 2004, restricts State authority to reduce major local
tax revenues such as the tax shifts permitted to take place in Fiscal Years 2004-05 and 2005-06.
Proposition IA provides that the State may not reduce any local sales tax rate, limit existing local
government authority to levy a sales tax rate or change the allocation of local sales tax revenues, subject
to certain exceptions. Proposition lA generally prohibits the State from shifting to schools or community
colleges any share of property tax revenues allocated to local governments for any fiscal year, as set forth
under the laws in effect as of November 3, 2004. Any change in the allocation of property tax revenues
among local governments within a county must be approved by two-thirds of both houses of the
Legislature.
Proposition IA provides, however, that beginning in Fiscal Year 2008-09, the State may shift to
schools and community colleges up to 8%of local government property tax revenues,which amount must
be repaid, with interest, within three years, if the Governor proclaims that the shift is needed due to a
severe state financial hardship, the shift is approved by two-thirds of both houses and certain other
conditions are met. Such a shift may not occur more than twice in any ten-year period. The State may
also approve voluntary exchanges of local sales tax and property tax revenues among local governments
within a county.
For Fiscal Year 2009-10, approximately $5 million of the District's property tax revenues were
diverted to the State as a result of a Proposition lA suspension. The District participated in a Proposition
lA Securitization Program (the "Program") sponsored by the California Statewide Communities
Development Authority. The Program allowed the District to exchange its anticipated State property tax
receivable for an equal amount of cash.
Proposition lA also provides that if the State reduces the vehicle license fee ("VLF") rate
currently in effect, 0.65% of vehicle value, the State must provide local governments with equal
replacement revenues. Further, Proposition 1A requires the State to suspend State mandates affecting
95197910.4 48
cities, counties and special districts, excepting mandates relating to employee rights, schools or
community colleges, in any year that the State does not fully reimburse local governments for their costs
to comply with such mandates.
Article XIIIC and Article XIIID of the California Constitution
Proposition 218, a State ballot initiative known as the "Right to Vote on Taxes Act," was
approved by the voters on November 5, 1996. The initiative added Articles XIIIC and XIIID to the
California Constitution, creating additional requirements for the imposition by most local governments of
"general taxes," "special taxes,""assessments,""fees," and"charges." Proposition 218 became effective,
pursuant to its terms, as of November 6, 1996, although compliance with some of its provisions was
deferred until July 1, 1997, and certain of its provisions purport to apply to any tax imposed for general
governmental purposes (i.e., "general taxes") imposed, extended or increased on or after January 1, 1995
and prior to November 6, 1996.
Article XIIID imposes substantive and procedural requirements on the imposition, extension or
increase of any "fee" or "charge" subject to its provisions. A "fee" or"charge" subject to Article XIIID
includes any levy, other than an ad valorem tax, special tax or assessment, imposed by an agency upon a
parcel or upon a person as an incident of property ownership. Article XIIID prohibits, among other
things, the imposition of any proposed fee or charge, and, possibly, the increase of any existing fee or
charge, in the event written protests against the proposed fee or charge are presented at a required public
hearing on the fee or charge by a majority of owners of the parcels upon which the fee or charge is to be
imposed. Except for fees and charges for water, sewer and refuse collection services, the approval of a
majority of the property owners subject to the fee or charge, or at the option of the agency,by a two-thirds
vote of the electorate residing in the affected area, is required within 45 days following the public hearing
on any such proposed new or increased fee or charge. The California Supreme Court decisions in
Richmond v. Shasta Community Services District, 32 CalAth 409 (2004) ("Richmond"), and Bighorn-
Desert View Water Agency v. Verjil, 39 CalAth 205 (2006) ("Bighorn") have clarified some of the
uncertainty surrounding the applicability of Section 6 of Article XIIID to service fees and charges. In
Richmond, the Shasta Community Services District charged a water connection fee, which included a
capacity charge for capital improvements to the water system and a fire suppression charge. The Court
held that both the capacity charge and the fire suppression charge were not subject to Article XIIID
because a water connection fee is not a property-related fee or charge because it results from the property
owner's voluntary decision to apply for the connection. In both Richmond and Bighorn, however, the
Court stated that a fee for ongoing water service through an existing connection is imposed "as an
incident of property ownership" within the meaning of Article XIIID, rejecting, in Bighorn, the water
agency's argument that consumption-based water charges are not imposed "as an incident of property
ownership"but as a result of the voluntary decisions of customers as to how much water to use.
Article XIIID also provides that"standby charges" are considered"assessments" and must follow
the procedures required for "assessments" under Article XIIID and imposes several procedural
requirements for the imposition of any assessment, which may include (1) various notice requirements,
including the requirement to mail a ballot to owners of the affected property; (2) the substitution of a
property owner ballot procedure for the traditional written protest procedure, and providing that"majority
protest" exists when ballots (weighted according to proportional financial obligation) submitted in
opposition exceed ballots in favor of the assessments; and (3) the requirement that the levying entity
"separate the general benefits from the special benefits conferred on a parcel" of land. Article XIIID also
precludes standby charges for services that are not immediately available to the parcel being charged.
Article XIIID provides that all existing, new or increased assessments are to comply with its
provisions beginning July 1, 1997. Existing assessments imposed on or before November 5, 1996, and
95197910.4 49
"imposed exclusively to finance the capital costs or maintenance and operations expenses for [among
other things] water" are exempted from some of the provisions of Article XIIID applicable to
assessments.
Article XIIIC extends the people's initiative power to reduce or repeal existing local taxes,
assessments, fees and charges. This extension of the initiative power is not limited by the terms of
Article XIIIC to fees, taxes, assessment fees and charges imposed after November 6, 1996 and absent
other authority could result in retroactive reduction in any existing taxes, assessments, fees or charges. In
Bighorn, the Court concluded that under Article XIIIC local voters by initiative may reduce a public
agency's water rates and delivery charges. The Court noted, however, that it was not holding that the
authorized initiative power is free of all limitations, stating that it was not determining whether the
electorate's initiative power is subject to the public agency's statutory obligation to set water service
charges at a level that will "pay the operating expenses of the agency, . . . provide for repairs and
depreciation of works,provide a reasonable surplus for improvements, extensions, and enlargements,pay
the interest on any bonded debt, and provide a sinking or other fund for the payment of the principal of
such debt as it may become due."
The District implemented a five-year plan beginning in Fiscal Year 2002-03 which included a
rate increase of$7.50 per year, or 9.4%, for all ratepayers to $87.50 per year. In May 2003, the Board of
Directors approved a 15% rate increase per year, for each year, over the then following five years, upon
2/3 vote of the Board of Directors after conducting a noticed public hearing in compliance with Article
XIIID. The Board of Directors considered this increase necessary to provide needed capital
improvements,to cover additional treatment and disinfection costs, and to minimize rate increases over an
extended period of time. On July 2, 2003, the Board of Directors adopted Ordinance No. OCSD-20
increasing sanitary sewer service charges for all single family and multi-family residential units as well as
most commercial and industrial properties. The Ordinance was adopted by a 2/3 vote of the Board of
Directors as required under law after conducting a noticed public hearing in compliance with all laws.
The Ordinance increases the amount of the annual charges by approximately 15%per year for each of the
following five years, commencing with Fiscal Year 2003-04, thereby raising the single family residence
user rate from the then current$87.50 to $100.00, $115.00, $132.00, $152.00, and$175.00 annually. The
Ordinance discounted by 5% the annual increases which were the subject of the required protest hearings
on the fee increase as described above. After the completion of the CIP Validation Study for Fiscal Year
2005-06 that increased its ten year CIP cash flow projects to $2.2 billion, or an average of$220 million
per year, the Board of Directors adopted Ordinance No. OCSD-26 increasing the Fiscal Year 2005-06
single family residential rate 31%, from$115 to $151 for such year. In May 2006,the Board of Directors
adopted Ordinance No. OCSD-30B increasing the Fiscal Year 2006-07 single family residential rate
9.8%, from$151.00 to $165.80 for such year, except those located in Revenue Area 14. These increases
represented the increase permitted under the protest hearings on the fee increase which was held in 2003.
In June 2007, the Board of Directors adopted Ordinance No. OCSD-32 increasing the Fiscal Year 2007-
08 single family residential rate by 9.8%. In February 2008, after a noticed public hearing, the Board of
Directors adopted Ordinance No. OCSD-35, which provides for annual increases in the single family
residential rate of 10.4%, 10.0%, 10.4%, 9.4% and 10.1%,respectively, for Fiscal Years 2008-09 through
2012-13.
Pursuant to the Master Agreement, the District will, to the extent permitted by law, fix,prescribe
and collect fees and charges for the services of the Wastewater System which will be at least sufficient to
yield during each Fiscal Year (a)Net Revenues equal to 125% of Debt Service on Senior Obligations for
such Fiscal Year, and (b)Net Operating Revenues equal to 100% of Debt Service on all Obligations for
such Fiscal Year. The District may make adjustments from time to time in such fees and charges and may
make such classification thereof as it deems necessary, but will not reduce the fees and charges then in
effect unless the Revenues and Net Revenues from such reduced fees and charges will at all times be
95197910.4 50
sufficient to meet the requirements of the Master Agreement. In the event that service charges are
determined to be subject to Article XIIID, and proposed increased service charges cannot be imposed as a
result of a majority protest, such circumstances may adversely effect the ability of the District to generate
revenues in the amounts required by the Master Agreement, and to make the Installment Payment as
provided in the Installment Purchase Agreement. No assurance may be given that Articles XIIIC and
XIIID will not have a material adverse impact on Net Revenues.
Other Initiative Measures
Articles XIIIA, XIIIB, XIIIC and XIIID were adopted pursuant to California's constitutional
initiative process. From time to time other initiative measures could be adopted by California voters,
placing additional limitations on the ability of the District to increase revenues.

statements made in this Official Statement, and no opinion is expressed by Mayer Hoffman McCann P.C.
with respect to any event subsequent to its report dated October 20, 2010.
TAX MATTERS
The Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the "Code") imposes certain requirements that must be met
subsequent to the execution and delivery of the Notes for the interest component of the Installment
Payment (the "Interest Component"), and the allocable portion thereof distributable in respect of each
Note (the"Note Interest Distribution"),to be and remain excluded pursuant to section 103(a) of the Code
from the gross income of the owners thereof from the gross income of the owner thereof for federal
income tax purposes. Noncompliance with such requirements could cause such amounts to be included in
gross income for federal income tax purposes retroactive to the date of delivery of the Installment
Purchase Agreement and the Notes. The District and the Corporation have covenanted to maintain the
exclusion pursuant to section 103(a) of the Code of the interest on the Notes from the gross income of the
owners thereof for federal income tax purposes. In rendering its opinions with respect to the Notes, as
described below, Special Counsel will rely upon representations and covenants of the District and the
Corporation (including such covenant noted above) made in connection with the execution and delivery
of the Notes, and will assume that all such representations are true and correct and that the District and the
Corporation will comply with all such covenants.
In the opinion of Fulbright & Jaworski L.L.P., Los Angeles, California, Special Counsel, under
existing statutes, regulations, rulings and court decisions, the Interest Component allocable to and the
Note Interest Distributions in respect of a Note is exempt from personal income taxes of the State of
California and, assuming compliance with the aforementioned covenant,the Interest Component allocable
to and the Note Interest Distributions in respect of a Note is excluded pursuant to section 103(a) of the
Code from the gross income of the owners thereof for federal income tax purposes. In the further opinion
of Special Counsel, under existing statutes, regulations, rulings and court decisions, the Notes are not
"specified private activity bonds" within the meaning of section 57(a)(5) of the Code and, therefore, the
Interest Component allocable to and the Note Interest Distributions in respect of a Note will not be treated
as an item of tax preference for purposes of computing the alternative minimum tax imposed by section
55 of the Code. Receipt or accrual of the Interest Component allocable to and the Note Interest
Distributions in respect of a Note owned by a corporation may affect the computation of the alternative
minimum taxable income. A corporation's alternative minimum taxable income is the basis on which the
alternative minimum tax imposed by section 55 of the Code will be computed.
To the extent that a purchaser of a Note acquires that Note at a price in excess of its "stated
redemption price at maturity" (within the meaning of section 1273(a)(2) of the Code), such excess will
constitute "bond premium" under the Code. Section 171 of the Code, and the Treasury Regulations
promulgated thereunder, provide generally that bond premium on a tax-exempt obligation must be
amortized over the remaining term of the obligation (or a shorter period in the case of certain callable
95197910.4 52
obligations); the amount of premium so amortized will reduce the owner's basis in such obligation for
federal income tax purposes, but such amortized premium will not be deductible for federal income tax
purposes. Such reduction in basis will increase the amount of any gain (or decrease the amount of any
loss) to be recognized for federal income tax purposes upon a sale or other taxable disposition of the
obligation. The amount of premium that is amortizable each year by a purchaser is determined by using
such purchaser's yield to maturity. The rate and timing of the amortization of the bond premium and the
corresponding basis reduction may result in an owner realizing a taxable gain when its Note is sold or
disposed of for an amount equal to or in some circumstances even less than the original cost of the Note
to the owner. Purchasers of Notes at a price that includes bond premium should consult their own tax
advisors with respect to the computation and treatment of such bond premium, including, but not limited
to,the calculation of gain or loss upon the sale,redemption or other disposition of the Note.
The excess, if any, of the stated redemption price at maturity of Notes of a maturity over the
initial offering price to the public of the Note s of that maturity is "original issue discount." Original
issue discount accruing on a Note is treated as interest excluded from the gross income of the owner
thereof for federal income tax purposes and is exempt from California personal income tax to the same
extent as would be stated interest on that Note. Original issue discount on any Note purchased at such
initial offering price and pursuant to such initial offering will accrue on a semiannual basis over the term
of the Note on the basis of a constant yield method and, within each semiannual period, will accrue on a
ratable daily basis. The amount of original issue discount on such a Note accruing during each period is
added to the adjusted basis of such Note to determine taxable gain upon disposition (including sale,
redemption or payment on maturity) of such Note. The Code includes certain provisions relating to the
accrual of original issue discount in the case of purchasers of Note who purchase such Note other than at
the initial offering price and pursuant to the initial offering. Purchasers of Note of a maturity having
original issue discount should consult their own tax advisors with respect to the tax consequences of
ownership of Note with original issue discount.
Pursuant to the Trust Agreement and in the Tax Certificate Pertaining to Arbitrage and Other
Matters under Sections 103 and 141-150 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, to be delivered by the
District and the Corporation in connection with the issuance of the Notes,the District and the Corporation
will make representations relevant to the determination of, and will make certain covenants regarding or
affecting, the exclusion of interest on the Notes from the gross income of the owners thereof for federal
income tax purposes. In reaching its opinions described above, Special Counsel will assume the accuracy
of such representations and the present and future compliance by the District and the Corporation with
such covenants. Further, except as stated above, Special Counsel will express no opinion as to any
federal or state tax consequences of the receipt of interest on, or the ownership or disposition of, the
Notes.
Special Counsel has not undertaken to advise in the future whether any events after the date of
execution and delivery of the Installment Purchase Agreement and the Notes may affect the tax status of
the Interest Component or the Note Interest Distributions. No assurance can be given that future
legislation, if enacted into law, will not contain provisions that could directly or indirectly reduce the
benefit of the exemption of such amounts from personal income taxation by the State of California or of
the exclusion of the interest on the Notes from the gross income of the owners thereof for federal income
tax purposes. Furthermore, Special Counsel will express no opinion as to any federal, state or local tax
law consequences with respect to the Installment Purchase Agreement,the Notes,the Interest Component
or Note Interest Distributions, if any action is taken with respect to the Installment Purchase Agreement,
the Notes or the proceeds thereof, or the Trust Agreement predicated or permitted upon the advice or
approval of other counsel.
95197910.4 53
Although Special Counsel is of the opinion that Interest Component and Note Interest
Distributions in respect of a Note are exempt from California personal income tax and excluded from the
gross income of the owners thereof for federal income tax purposes, an owner's federal, state or local tax
liability may be otherwise affected by the ownership or disposition of the Notes. The nature and extent of
these other tax consequences will depend upon the owner's other items of income or deduction. Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, prospective purchasers of the Notes should be aware that (i)
section 265 of the Code denies a deduction for interest on indebtedness incurred or continued to purchase
or carry the Notes and the Code contains additional limitations on interest deductions applicable to
financial institutions that own tax-exempt obligations (such as the Notes), (ii) with respect to insurance
companies subject to the tax imposed by section 831 of the Code, section 832(b)(5)(13)(i) reduces the
deduction for loss reserves by 15% of the sum of certain items, including Interest Component and Note
Interest Distributions in respect of the Notes, (iii) Interest Component and Note Interest Distributions
accrued in respect of Notes owned by certain foreign corporations doing business in the United States
could be subject to a branch profits tax imposed by section 884 of the Code, (iv) passive investment
income, including Interest Component and Note Interest Distributions accrued in respect of Notes,may be
subject to federal income taxation under section 1375 of the Code for Subchapter S corporations that have
Subchapter C earnings and profits at the close of the taxable year if greater than 25%of the gross receipts
of such Subchapter S corporation is passive investment income, (v) section 86 of the Code requires
recipients of certain Social Security and certain Railroad Retirement benefits to take into account, in
determining the taxability of such benefits, Interest Distributions and Note Interest Distributions accrued
in respect of Notes owned by such recipients for federal income tax purposes, and(vi)under section 32(i)
of the Code, receipt of investment income, including Interest Component and Note Interest Distributions
accrued in respect of Notes, may disqualify the recipient thereof from obtaining the earned income credit.
Special Counsel has expressed no opinion regarding any such other tax consequences.
Special Counsel's opinion is not a guarantee of a result, but represents its legal judgment based
upon its review of existing statutes, regulations, published rulings and court decisions and the
representations and covenants of the District and the Corporation described above. No ruling has been
sought from the Internal Revenue Service (the "Service") with respect to the matters addressed in the
opinion of Special Counsel, and Special Counsel's opinion is not binding on the Service. The Service has
an ongoing program of auditing the tax-exempt status of the interest on municipal obligations. If an audit
of the Notes is commenced, under current procedures the Service is likely to treat the District as the
"taxpayer," and the owners would have no right to participate in the audit process. In responding to or
defending an audit of the tax-exempt status of the Interest Component and Note Interest Distributions
accrued in respect of Notes, the District may have different or conflicting interest from the owners.
Public awareness of any future audit of the Notes could adversely affect the value and liquidity of the
Notes during the pendency of the audit,regardless of its ultimate outcome.
On September 12, 2011, President Obama submitted to Congress the "American Jobs Act of
2011" (the "American Jobs Act"), which, if enacted, could result in additional federal income tax being
imposed on certain owners of tax-exempt obligations, including the Notes, for tax years beginning on or
after January 1, 2013. As proposed, the American Jobs Act would limit for certain individual taxpayers
the value of certain deductions and exclusions, including the exclusion for tax-exempt interest, to 28
percent irrespective of the actual marginal tax rate imposed on such taxpayers. The American Jobs Act or
other similar legislation, if enacted, could directly or indirectly reduce or eliminate the benefit of the
exclusion of interest on the Notes from gross income for federal income tax purposes. The introduction
or enactment of the American Jobs Act or other similar legislation could also affect the market value and
liquidity of the Notes. Prospective purchasers of the Notes should consult with their own tax advisors
with respect to the American Jobs Act or other pending or proposed tax legislation.

A copy of the form of opinion of Special Counsel to be delivered at the closing of the Notes is
included in Appendix F.
CONTINUING DISCLOSURE
The District has covenanted for the benefit of holders and beneficial owners of the Notes to
provide notices of the occurrence of certain enumerated events. The notices of material events, if any,
will be filed by the Dissemination Agent on behalf of the District with the Municipal Securities
Rulemaking Board. The specific nature of the information to be contained in the notices of enumerated
events is set forth in the Continuing Disclosure Agreement. See APPENDIX D — "FORM OF
CONTINUING DISCLOSURE AGREEMENT." This covenant has been made in order to assist the
Initial Purchaser in complying with S.E.C. Rule 15c2-12 (the "Rule"). During the past five years, the
District has never failed to comply in all material respects with any previous undertaking with respect to
the Rule to provide annual reports or notices of material events.
RATINGS
The Notes will be assigned short-term ratings of" " by Standard & Poor's Financial Services
LLC ("S&P"), and " " by Fitch Ratings ("Fitch"). S&P and Fitch affirmed the long-term ratings of
" "and" ,"respectively, on the District's Existing Senior Obligations. Such ratings reflect only the
views of the rating agencies, and do not constitute a recommendation to buy, sell or hold the Notes.
Explanation of the significance of such ratings may be obtained only from the respective organizations at:
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services, 55 Water Street, New York, New York 10041 and Fitch Ratings,
One State Street Plaza, New York, New York 10004. There is no assurance that any such ratings will
continue for any given period of time or that they will not be revised downward or withdrawn entirely by
the respective rating agencies, if in the judgment of any such rating agency circumstances so warrant.
Any such downward revision or withdrawal of such ratings may have an adverse effect on the market
price of the Notes.
PURCHASE AND REOFFERING
(the "Initial Purchaser") has purchased the Notes from the District at a
competitive sale for a purchase price of$ (representing the aggregate principal amount of
the Notes, plus a premium of$ ). The public offering price may be changed from time to
time by the Initial Purchaser. The Initial Purchaser may offer and sell Notes to certain dealers and others
at prices lower than the offering price shown on the cover page hereof.

BOOK-ENTRY SYSTEM
The description that follows of the procedures and recordkeeping with respect to beneficial
ownership interests in the Notes,payment ofprincipal and interest evidenced by the Notes to Participants
or Beneficial Owners, confirmation and transfer of beneficial ownership interests in the Notes, and other
Note-related transactions by and between DTC, Participants and Beneficial Owners, is based on
information furnished by DTC which the District and the Corporation each believes to be reliable, but the
District and the Corporation take no responsibility for the completeness or accuracy thereof.
The Depository Trust Company—Book-Entry System
The Depository Trust Company("DTC"),New York,NY,will act as securities depository for the
securities (the "Notes"). The Notes will be issued as fully-registered securities registered in the name of
Cede & Co. (DTC's partnership nominee) or such other name as may be requested by an authorized
representative of DTC. One fully-registered note will be issued for the Notes in the aggregate principal
amount of such issue, and will be deposited with DTC.
DTC is a limited-purpose trust company organized under the New York Banking Law, a
"banking organization" within the meaning of the New York Banking Law, a member of the Federal
Reserve System, a "clearing corporation" within the meaning of the New York Uniform Commercial
Code, and a "clearing agency" registered pursuant to the provisions of Section 17A of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934. DTC holds and provides asset servicing for over 3.5 million U.S. and non-U.S.
equity issues, corporate and municipal debt issues, and money market instruments (from over 100
countries) that DTC's participants ("Direct Participants") deposit with DTC. DTC also facilitates the
post-trade settlement among Direct Participants of sales and other securities transactions in deposited
securities, through electronic computerized book-entry transfers and pledges between Direct Participants'
accounts. This eliminates the need for physical movement of securities certificates. Direct Participants
include both U.S. and non-U.S. securities brokers and dealers, banks, trust companies, clearing
corporations, and certain other organizations. DTC is a wholly-owned subsidiary of The Depository Trust
& Clearing Corporation ("DTCC"). DTCC is the holding company for DTC, National Securities
Clearing Corporation and Fixed Income Clearing Corporation, all of which are registered clearing
agencies. DTCC is owned by the users of its regulated subsidiaries. Access to the DTC system is also
available to others such as both U.S. and non-U.S. securities brokers and dealers,banks, trust companies,
and clearing corporations that clear through or maintain a custodial relationship with a Direct Participant,
either directly or indirectly("Indirect Participants"). DTC has a Standard&Poor's rating of"AA+." The
DTC Rules applicable to its Participants are on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission. More
information about DTC can be found at www.dtcc.com. The information on such website is not
incorporated herein by such reference or otherwise.
Purchases of Notes under the DTC system must be made by or through Direct Participants,which
will receive a credit for the Notes on DTC's records. The ownership interest of each actual purchaser of
each Note ("Beneficial Owner") is in turn to be recorded on the Direct and Indirect Participants' records.
Beneficial Owners will not receive written confirmation from DTC of their purchase. Beneficial Owners
are, however, expected to receive written confirmations providing details of the transaction, as well as
periodic statements of their holdings, from the Direct or Indirect Participant through which the Beneficial
Owner entered into the transaction. Transfers of ownership interests in the Notes are to be accomplished
by entries made on the books of Direct and Indirect Participants acting on behalf of Beneficial Owners.
Beneficial Owners will not receive certificates representing their ownership interests in the Notes, except
in the event that use of the book-entry system for the Notes is discontinued.
95197910.4 E-1
To facilitate subsequent transfers, all Notes deposited by Direct Participants with DTC are
registered in the name of DTC's partnership nominee, Cede & Co. or such other name as may be
requested by an authorized representative of DTC. The deposit of Notes with DTC and their registration
in the name of Cede & Co. or such other nominee do not effect any change in beneficial ownership. DTC
has no knowledge of the actual Beneficial Owners of the Notes; DTC's records reflect only the identity of
the Direct Participants to whose accounts such Notes are credited, which may or may not be the
Beneficial Owners. The Direct and Indirect Participants will remain responsible for keeping account of
their holdings on behalf of their customers.
Conveyance of notices and other communications by DTC to Direct Participants, by Direct
Participants to Indirect Participants, and by Direct Participants and Indirect Participants to Beneficial
Owners will be governed by arrangements among them, subject to any statutory or regulatory
requirements as may be in effect from time to time. Beneficial Owners of Notes may wish to take certain
steps to augment transmission to them of notices of significant events with respect to the Notes, such as
prepayments, tenders, defaults, and proposed amendments to the security documents. For example,
Beneficial Owners of Notes may wish to ascertain that the nominee holding the Notes for their benefit has
agreed to obtain and transmit notices to Beneficial Owners, in the alternative, Beneficial Owners may
wish to provide their names and addresses to the registrar and request that copies of the notices be
provided directly to them.
Prepayment notices shall be sent to DTC. If less than all of the Notes within an issue are being
prepaid,DTC's practice is to determine by lot the amount of the interest of each Direct Participant in such
issue to be prepaid.
Neither DTC nor Cede & Co. (nor such other DTC nominee)will consent or vote with respect to
the Notes unless authorized by a Direct Participant in accordance with DTC's MMI Procedures. Under
its usual procedures, DTC mails an Omnibus Proxy to the District as soon as possible after the record
date. The Omnibus Proxy assigns Cede &Co.'s consenting or voting rights to those Direct Participants to
whose accounts the Notes are credited on the record date (identified in a listing attached to the Omnibus
Proxy).
Prepayments with respect to the Notes will be made to Cede &Co.,or such other nominee as may
be requested by an authorized representative of DTC. DTC's practice is to credit Direct Participants'
accounts, upon DTC's receipt of funds and corresponding detail information from the District or the
Trustee on the payable date in accordance with their respective holdings shown on DTC's records.
Payments by Participants to Beneficial Owners will be governed by standing instructions and customary
practices, as is the case with securities held for the accounts of customers in bearer form or registered in
"street name," and will be the responsibility of such Participant and not of DTC, nor its nominee, the
Trustee, or the District, subject to any statutory or regulatory requirements as may be in effect from time
to time. Payment of prepayment proceeds, distributions, and dividend payments to Cede & Co. (or such
other nominee as may be requested by an authorized representative of DTC) is the responsibility of the
District or the Trustee, disbursement of such payments to Direct Participants will be the responsibility of
DTC, and disbursement of such payments to the Beneficial Owners will be the responsibility of Direct
and Indirect Participants.
DTC may discontinue providing its services as securities depository with respect to the Notes at
any time by giving reasonable notice to the District or the Trustee. Under such circumstances, in the
event that a successor securities depository is not obtained,Notes are required to be printed and delivered.
The District may decide to discontinue use of the system of book-entry-only transfers through
DTC (or a successor securities depository). In that event,Notes will be printed and delivered to DTC.
95197910.4 E-2
The information in this section concerning DTC and DTC's book-entry system has been obtained
from sources that the District believes to be reliable, but the District takes no responsibility for the
accuracy thereof.
Discontinuance of DTC Services
In the event (i)DTC determines not to continue to act as securities depository for the Notes,
(ii)DTC shall no longer act and give notice to the Trustee of such determination or (iii)the District
determines that it is in the best interest of the Beneficial Owners that they be able to obtain Notes and
delivers a written certificate to the Trustee to that effect, DTC services will be discontinued. If the
District determines to replace DTC with another qualified securities depository, the District shall prepare
or direct the preparation of a new single, separate, fully registered Note for each of the maturities of the
Notes, registered in the name of such successor or substitute qualified securities depository or its
nominee. If the District fails to identify another qualified securities depository to replace DTC then the
Notes shall no longer be restricted to being registered in the certificate registration books in the name of
Cede & Co., but shall be registered in such names as are requested in a certificate of the District, in
accordance with the Trust Agreement.
All Notes may be presented for transfer by the Owner thereof, in person or by his attorney duly
authorized in writing, at the Principal Office of the Trustee, on the books required to be kept by the
Trustee pursuant to the provisions of the Trust Agreement, upon surrender of such Certifications for
cancellation accompanied by delivery of a duly executed written instrument of transfer in a form
acceptable to the Trustee. The Trustee may treat the Owner of any Note as the absolute owner of such
Note for all purposes,whether or not such Note shall be overdue, and the Trustee shall not be affected by
any knowledge or notice to the contrary; and payment of the interest and principal evidenced by such
Note shall be made only to such Owner, which payments shall be valid and effectual to satisfy and
discharge the liability evidenced by such Note to the extent of the sum or sums so paid.
Whenever any Notes shall be surrendered for transfer, the Trustee shall execute and deliver new
Notes representing the same principal amount in Authorized Denominations. The Trustee shall require
the payment of any Owner requesting such transfer of any tax or other governmental charge required to
be paid with respect to such transfer. Notes may be presented for exchange at the Principal Office of the
Trustee for a like aggregate principal amount of Notes of other Authorized Denominations. The Trustee
shall require the payment by the Owner requesting such exchange of any tax or other governmental
charge required to be paid with respect to such exchange. The Trustee shall not be required to transfer or
exchange any Note during the period in which the Trustee is selecting Notes for prepayment,nor shall the
Trustee be required to transfer or exchange any Note or portion thereof selected for prepayment from and
after the date of mailing the notice of prepayment thereof.

APPENDIX F
FORM OF APPROVING OPINION OF SPECIAL COUNSEL
Upon the execution and delivery of the Notes, Fulbright& Jaworski L.L.P., Los Angeles,
California, Special Counsel to the District, will render its final approving opinion with respect to the
Notes in substantially the following form:
[Date of Delivery]
Orange County Sanitation District
10844 Ellis Avenue
Fountain Valley,California 92708-7018
$[PAR AMOUNT]
Orange County Sanitation District
Revenue Refunding Certificate Anticipation Notes, Series 2011B
Ladies and Gentlemen:
We have acted as Special Counsel in connection with the $ aggregate principal
amount of Orange County Sanitation District Revenue Refunding Certificate Anticipation Notes, Series
2011B (the "Notes") which evidence direct, fractional undivided interests of the Owners thereof in the
installment payment (the "Installment Payment"), and the interest thereon, to be made by the Orange
County Sanitation District (the "District") pursuant to the Installment Purchase Agreement, dated as of
November 1, 2011 (the "Installment Purchase Agreement"), by and between the District and the Orange
County Sanitation District Financing Corporation(the"Corporation"). Pursuant to the Master Agreement
for District Obligations, dated as of August 1, 2000 (the "Master Agreement"), by and between the
District and the Corporation, the District has established conditions and terms upon which obligations
such as the Installment Payment and the interest thereon, will be incurred and secured. The Installment
Payment under the Installment Purchase Agreement is payable from (i)Net Revenues as provided in the
Installment Purchase Agreement, consisting primarily of all income and revenue received by the District
from the operation or ownership of the Wastewater System of the District (the "Wastewater System")
remaining after payment of Maintenance and Operation Costs, and (ii)other lawfully available funds of
the District. Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to
such terms in the Installment Purchase Agreement.
The Notes are to be executed and delivered pursuant to a Trust Agreement, dated as of
November 1, 2011 (the"Trust Agreement"),by and among the District, the Corporation and Union Bank,
N.A., as trustee (the"Trustee"). Proceeds from the sale of the Notes will be used to (i)pay at maturity all
of the Orange County Sanitation District Revenue Refunding Certificate Anticipation Notes, Series
2010B, currently outstanding in the aggregate principal amount of$154,665,000, and (ii)pay the costs
incurred in connection with the execution and delivery of the Notes.
As Special Counsel,we have examined copies certified to us as being true and complete copies of
the Master Agreement,the Trust Agreement and the Installment Purchase Agreement and the proceedings
of the District in connection with the execution and delivery of the Notes. We have also examined such
95197910.4 F-1
certificates of officers of the District, the Corporation and others as we have considered necessary for the
purposes of this opinion.
Based upon the foregoing,we are of the opinion that:
1. The Master Agreement, the Installment Purchase Agreement and the Trust
Agreement each has been duly and validly authorized, executed and delivered by the District and,
assuming the Master Agreement, the Installment Purchase Agreement and the Trust Agreement
each constitutes the legally valid and binding obligation of the other parties thereto, each
constitutes the legally valid and binding obligation of the District, enforceable against the District
in accordance with its respective terms
2. The obligation of the District to pay the Installment Payment, and the interest
thereon, and other payments required to be made by it under the Installment Purchase Agreement
is a special obligation of the District payable, in the manner provided in the Installment Purchase
Agreement, from Net Revenues and other funds provided for in the Installment Purchase
Agreement lawfully available therefor.
3. Assuming due authorization, execution and delivery of the Trust Agreement and
the Notes by the Trustee,the Notes are entitled to the benefits of the Trust Agreement.
4. Under existing statutes, regulations, rulings and court decisions, and, assuming
compliance with the covenants mentioned below, the component of each payment designated as
interest in the Installment Purchase Agreement (the "Interest Component"), and the allocable
portion thereof distributable in respect of any Note (the "Note Interest Distribution"), is excluded
pursuant to section 103(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the "Code") from the gross
income of the owners thereof for federal income tax purposes. We are further of the opinion that
under existing statutes, regulations, rulings and court decisions, the Notes are not "specified
private activity bonds" within the meaning of section 57(a)(5) of the Code and, therefore, the
Interest Component and the Note Interest Distributions will not be treated as an item of tax
preference for purposes of computing the alternative minimum tax imposed by section 55 of the
Code. Receipt or accrual of the Interest Component, and the Note Interest Distribution, owned by
a corporation may affect the computation of the alternative minimum taxable income of that
corporation. A corporation's alternative minimum taxable income is the basis on which the
alternative minimum tax imposed by section 55 of the Code will be computed. We are further of
the opinion that the Interest Component allocable to and the Note Interest Distributions in respect
of a Note, are exempt from personal income taxes of the State of California under present state
law.
Pursuant to the Trust Agreement and in the Tax Certificate Pertaining to Arbitrage and
Other Matters under Sections 103 and 141-150 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, to be
delivered by the District and the Corporation in connection with the execution and delivery of the
Notes, the District and the Corporation will each make representations relevant to the
determination of, and will make certain covenants regarding or affecting, the exclusion of the
Interest Component and the Note Interest Distribution from the gross income of the owners
thereof for federal income tax purposes. In reaching the opinions described in the immediately
preceding paragraph, we have assumed the accuracy of such representations and the present and
future compliance by the District and the Corporation with such covenants.
Except as stated in the preceding two paragraphs,we express no opinion as to any federal
or state tax consequences of the ownership or disposition of the Installment Purchase Agreement
95197910.4 F-2
or the Notes. Furthermore, we express no opinion as to any federal, state or local tax law
consequences with respect to the Installment Purchase Agreement,Notes, Interest Component, or
Note Interest Distributions, if any action is taken with respect to the Installment Purchase
Agreement, the Master Agreement, the Trust Agreement, the Notes, or the proceeds thereof if,
permitted or predicated on the advice or approval of counsel if such advice or approval is given
by counsel other than us.
The rights of the owners of the Notes and the enforceability of the Notes, the Master Agreement,
the Trust Agreement and the Installment Purchase Agreement may be subject to bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization, moratorium and other similar laws affecting creditors' rights heretofore or hereafter
enacted and may also be subject to the exercise of judicial discretion in appropriate cases. The
enforceability of the Notes, the Master Agreement, the Trust Agreement and the Installment Purchase
Agreement is subject to the effect of general principles of equity, including, without limitation, concepts
of materiality, reasonableness, good faith and fair dealing, to the possible unavailability of specific
performance or injunctive relief, regardless of whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law, and
to the limitations on legal remedies against governmental entities in California.
No opinion is expressed herein on the accuracy, completeness or fairness of the Official
Statement or other offering material relating to the Notes.
Our opinions are based on existing law, which is subject to change. Such opinions are further
based on our knowledge of facts as of the date hereof. We assume no duty to update or supplement our
opinions to reflect any facts or circumstances that may hereafter come to our attention or to reflect any
changes in any law that may hereafter occur or become effective. Moreover, our opinions are not a
guarantee of result; rather, such opinions represent our legal judgment based upon our review of existing
law that we deem relevant to such opinions and in reliance upon the representations and covenants
referenced above.

the Installment Purchase Agreement,the Trust Agreement and the Notes.
Outstanding Senior Obligations
The District has outstanding Senior Obligations payable on a parity with the Installment Payment
under the Installment Purchase Agreement. The term "Existing Senior Obligations" as used in the
Preliminary Official Statement refers to the 2000 Installment Purchase Agreement, the 2003 Installment
Purchase Agreement, the 2007A Installment Purchase Agreement, the 2007B Installment Purchase
Agreement, the 2008A Installment Purchase Agreement, the 2008B Installment Purchase Agreement, the
2009A Installment Purchase Agreement, the 2010A Installment Purchase Agreement, the 2010B
Installment Purchase Agreement, the 2010C Installment Purchase Agreement and the 2011A Installment
Purchase Agreement.
Security and Source of Payments
The Notes evidence direct, undivided fractional interests in the Installment Payment, and the
interest thereon, paid by the District pursuant to the Installment Purchase Agreement. The obligation of
the District to pay the Installment Payment and the interest thereon and other payments required to be
made by it under the Installment Purchase Agreement is a special obligation of the District payable, in the
manner provided under the Installment Purchase Agreement, solely from Net Revenues and other funds
as provided in the Installment Purchase Agreement. Net Revenues generally consist of all income and
revenue received by the District from the operation or ownership of the Wastewater System remaining
after payment of Maintenance and Operation Costs, all as further provided in the Master Agreement.
The District's obligation to make the Installment Payment from Net Revenues is on a parity with
the District's obligation to make payments with respect to its other outstanding obligations described as
Senior Obligations and all Reimbursement Obligations with respect to Senior Obligations, as provided in
the Master Agreement. The Installment Purchase Agreement constitutes a Senior Obligation and is
subject to the provisions of the Master Agreement and is afforded all of the advantages, benefits, interests
and security for Senior Obligations pursuant to the Master Agreement. Pursuant to the Master
Agreement, the District pledges all Net Revenues to the payment of the Senior Obligations and
Reimbursement Obligations with respect to Senior Obligations, and the Net Revenues will not be used for
any other purpose while any of the Senior Obligations or Reimbursement Obligations with respect to
95196459.4 2
Senior Obligations remain unpaid; provided, however, that out of the Net Revenues there may be
apportioned such sums for such purposes as are expressly permitted by the Master Agreement. This
pledge constitutes a first lien on the Net Revenues for the payment of the Senior Obligations and
Reimbursement Obligations with respect to Senior Obligations. The term Senior Obligations, generally
means all revenue bonds or notes(including bond anticipation notes and commercial paper)of the District
authorized, executed, issued and delivered under and pursuant to applicable law, the Installment Purchase
Agreement and all other contracts (including financial contracts) or leases of the District authorized and
executed by the District under and pursuant to applicable law, the installment, lease or other payments
which are, in accordance with the provisions of the Master Agreement, payable from Net Revenues on a
parity with the payments under the Master Agreement.
The District may at any time incur Subordinate Obligations; provided, however, that prior to
incurring such Subordinate Obligations, the District will have determined that the incurrence thereof will
not materially adversely affect the District's ability to comply with the requirements of the Master
Agreement. The District may at any time incur Reimbursement Obligations with respect to Subordinate
Obligations. Currently, there are no Subordinate Obligations outstanding. For a description of the
District's outstanding Senior Obligations, see "FINANCIAL OBLIGATIONS — Existing Indebtedness"
in the Preliminary Official Statement.
The District may, in connection with the incurrence of Subordinate Obligations, pledge Net
Revenues to the payment of Subordinate Obligations and Reimbursement Obligations with respect to
Subordinate Obligations; provided, however, that such pledge, and any lien created thereby, shall be
junior and subordinate to the pledge of, and lien on,Net Revenues for the payment of Senior Obligations
and Reimbursement Obligations with respect to Senior Obligations.
Pursuant to the Master Agreement, the District is required, to the extent permitted by law, to fix,
prescribe and collect fees and charges for the services and facilities of the Wastewater System which will
be at least sufficient to yield during each Fiscal Year(a)Net Revenues equal to 125% of Debt Service on
Senior Obligations for such Fiscal Year and (b) Net Operating Revenues equal to 100% of Debt Service
on all Obligations for such Fiscal Year. The District may make adjustments from time to time in such
fees and charges and may make such classification thereof as it deems necessary, but shall not reduce the
fees and charges then in effect unless the Revenues and Net Revenues from such reduced fees and
charges will at all times be sufficient to meet the requirements of the Master Agreement. See
"SECURITY AND SOURCES OF PAYMENT FOR THE NOTES—Rate Covenant"in the Preliminary
Official Statement.
Additional Obligations
In addition to the Existing Senior Obligations, the District may at any time incur Obligations
payable on a parity or on a subordinate basis to the payment by the District of the Installment Payment
upon satisfaction of conditions provided in the Master Agreement. No Obligations payable on such a
subordinate basis are currently outstanding. See "SECURITY AND SOURCES OF PAYMENT FOR
THE NOTES Limitations on Issuance of Additional Obligations" in the Preliminary Official
Statement.
Book-Entry-Only
The Notes will be executed and delivered in the form of fully registered certificates payable in
lawful money of the United States of America. The Notes will be initially delivered only in book-entry
form and will be registered in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee of The Depository Trust Company,
New York, New York ("DTC"), which will act as securities depository for the Notes. Individual
95196459.4 3
purchases of the Notes will be made in book-entry form only. Purchasers of Notes will not receive
physical certificates representing their ownership interests in the Notes purchased. The Notes will be
delivered in Authorized Denominations of $5,000 and any integral multiple thereof. Payments of
principal and interest evidenced by the Notes are payable directly to DTC by the Trustee. Upon receipt of
payments of such principal and interest, DTC will in turn distribute such payments to the beneficial
owners of the Notes. So long as the Notes are in the DTC book-entry system, the interest, principal and
prepayment premiums, if any, due with respect to the Notes will be payable by the Trustee, or its agent,to
DTC or its nominee.
Principal and Interest Payments
The Notes will mature on November 9, 2012* (the "Maturity Date"). The District expects the
principal of and interest on the Notes to be paid from proceeds of the sale,prior to the Maturity Date, of a
future series of certificates of participation, notes or other obligations of the District. The sale and
delivery of a future series of certificates of participation, notes or other obligations of the District will
depend on market conditions, certain approvals by the District and the Corporation and other factors. See
"SECURITY AND SOURCES OF PAYMENT FOR THE NOTES" in the Preliminary Official
Statement.
No Prepayment
The Notes are not subject to prepayment prior to their maturity.
Interest Rates,Reoffering Prices,Premium Bids,and Certificate of Initial Purchaser

Official Bid Form. Bidders must specify a rate of interest for the Notes, expressed in multiples of one-
one thousandths (1/1000)of one percent(1%); and no interest rate can exceed[3.5]%per annum.
The successful bidder will, within 30 minutes after being notified of the award of the Notes,
advise the District of the initial bona fide public reoffering prices of the Notes on the date of award. The
successful bidder will also be required to furnish to the District a certificate ("Certificate of Initial
Purchaser") in the form of the Certificate of Initial Purchaser attached hereto (with such modifications as
may be acceptable to Special Counsel). At any time before or after delivery of the Notes to the successful
bidder, that successful bidder also may be required by the District or Special Counsel to clarify any
discrepancies between the Certificate of Initial Purchaser and publicly available information relating to
trades of the Notes that might suggest that the initial sale of a substantial portion of the Notes to the
public was at a materially higher price than the price stated for that maturity in the Certificate of Initial
Purchaser.
Bidders may bid to purchase Notes from the District with a premium; however, no bid will be
considered if the bid is to purchase Notes at an aggregate price less than[100]%or more than [102.5]% of
the aggregate principal amount of the Notes.
No bid will be accepted that contemplates the waiver of any interest or other concession by the
bidder as substitute for payment in full of the purchase price. Bids that do not conform to the terms of
this section may be rejected. See"Right to Reject Bids,Waive Irregularities"below.
*Preliminary; subject to change.
95196459.4 4

The principal amount of the Notes set forth in the Official Bid Form reflects an estimate of the
District as to the likely interest rate of the winning bid and the premium contained in the winning bid.
After selecting the winning bid, the principal amount of the Notes may be adjusted in $5,000 increments,
if the District elects to do so, to reflect the actual interest rate and any premium in the winning bid to
generate a dollar amount bid of at least $ while maintaining the same "per Note"
purchaser's discount and original issue premium, if any, provided in such bid. Any such adjustment will
be communicated to the winning bidder within 24 hours after receipt of such bid by the District. Changes
in the principal amount of the Notes made as described in this paragraph will not affect the determination
of the winning bidder or give the winning bidder any right to reject the Notes.

for the Notes. The cost for the assignment of CUSIP numbers to the Notes will be the responsibility of
the successful bidder.

Advisory Commission ("CDIAC") under California law. CDIAC will invoice the successful bidder after

Special Counsel to the effect that, in the opinion of Special Counsel, based upon an analysis of existing
laws,regulations,rulings and court decisions, and assuming, among other matters, the accuracy of certain
representations and compliance with certain covenants,the interest component of the Installment Payment
and the allocable portion thereof distributable in respect of each Note is excluded from gross income for

AGENDA REPORT Item Number Item Number
Orange County Sanitation District
FROM: James D. Ruth, General Manager
Originator: Lorenzo Tyner, Director of Finance and Administrative Services
SUBJECT: RENEWAL OF FINANCIAL ADVISOR CONTRACT
GENERAL MANAGER'S RECOMMENDATION
Approve the renewal of the financial advisory service contract with Public Resources
Advisory Group (PRAG) for an additional five-year period beginning November 1, 2011.
SUMMARY
In November 2001, the Board of Directors appointed PRAG as the Orange County
Sanitation District's (OCSD) Financial Advisor after staff conducted a competitive
selection process for Financial Advisor to assist with the development of a financial plan
for the capital improvement program through the year 2020, including the groundwater
replenishment system and full secondary treatment facilities.
PRAG has served as OCSD's Financial Advisor since 2001 and has assisted in the
completion of fourteen debt financing issues totaling over $2.2 billion, $1.2 billion in new
money debt issuances in financing the ten-year capital improvement program and
another $0.9 billion in debt re-financings that were completed to lower OCSD's cost of
borrowing. Based on their guidance and recommendations, staff believes they are
responsible for assisting OCSD in saving $108.4 million over this time period by
selecting the most advantageous new money and re-financing debt structures. The
associated issuance fees on these fourteen debt financings totaled $1,206,500, or an
average of $134,055 per year from 2003 through 2011. Their fees as a percentage of
par amount issued in the capital markets were 0.05 percent.
PRAG's most recent contract extension is set to expire and staff is recommending that it
be renewed for an additional five-years. During this time period, there is one new
money debt issue of $120 million scheduled to be issued, the annual renewal of the
$154 million certificates of anticipation notes, the replacement of the standby
purchasing agreement associated with the Certificates of Participation, Series 2000
variable rate debt that is expiring in August 2012, and the possibility of additional re-
financings of existing debt as opportunities may arise due to the stimulus efforts of the
Federal Reserve to lower long term interest rates by buying $400 billion in long-term
treasuries. PRAG is willing to renew their agreement at no increase to the existing fixed
transaction fees or hourly fees established five-years ago.

PRIOR COMMITTEE/BOARD ACTIONS
October 2006 — The Board of Directors extended the contract of Public Resources
Advisory Group (PRAG) to serve as OCSD's Financial Advisor for an additional five
years beginning with fiscal year 2006-07.
February 2004 — The Board of Directors extended the contract of Public Resources
Advisory Group (PRAG) to serve as OCSD's Financial Advisor for an additional two
years beginning with fiscal year 2004-05.
November 2001 — The Board of Directors appointed Public Resources Advisory Group
(PRAG) as OCSD's Financial Advisor for a three-year period beginning with fiscal year
2001-02, with an option of extending the service period for an additional two years upon
Board approval.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
In November 2001, the Board of Directors appointed PRAG as OCSD's Financial
Advisor for a three-year period beginning with fiscal year 2001-02, with an option of
extending the service period for an additional two years upon Board approval. This was
done after staff conducted a competitive selection process for Financial Advisor to
assist with the development of a financial plan for the capital improvement program
through the year 2020, including groundwater replenishment, and for assistance in the
issuance of the $280 million Certificates of Participation, Series 2003 fixed rate debt.
During the original competitive selection process, PRAG was deemed to be the most
competent firm to meet OCSD's financing needs by the Evaluation Team, a team
consisting of the Director of Finance, the Controller and two external professionals.
This finding was based on proposal evaluations and interviews of the four finalists as to
the overall qualifications of each firm, the experience of each firm, quality of each firm's
professional personnel assigned, services and products offered by each firm,
understanding of OCSD's needs and each firm's proposed solutions, and the financing
approach proposed by each firm.
Staff has been pleased with the results provided by PRAG on both the development of
the capital improvement program financial plans and in the assistance provided on the
fourteen COP debt issuances. PRAG's assistance is now needed to evaluate the
current market conditions and how they may impact OCSD's eleven outstanding debt
issues. For example, OCSD's debt policy states that we should consider the refunding
of existing debt if the present value savings are at least three percent of the par amount
of the refunding bonds. In addition, staff needs to begin establishing the financing team
that will be necessary for OCSD's next scheduled debt issuance in FY 2012-13.
PRAG's bond financing fee and hourly fees are proposed at no increase over the next
five years as those that were in effect for the last five years.
Page 2 of 3
Staff therefore requests that the Committee recommend that the Board of Directors
renew the financial advisory service contract with PRAG and authorize the General
Manager to complete a negotiated agreement for a five-year period beginning
November 1, 2011.

As we reflect on the past services provided to the District, it is rewarding for us to know we took part in
guiding the District through the recent global financial crisis relatively unscathed over the past few years.
Even during these recent turbulent financial times (since 2008), the District achieved rating upgrades to
"AAA" (highest ratings available) by both Fitch Ratings ("Fitch") and Standard & Poor's Ratings
Services ("S&P"). When PRAG began working with the District in 2002, the long-term ratings of the
District were "AA" by both Fitch and S&P, and since then, PRAG has provided strategic counsel and
assistance in presenting the strong financial picture of the District to the rating agencies which ultimately
resulted in the assignment of"AAA" ratings. In addition, PRAG has been a pro-active participant and
contributor to developing a well-managed, cost effective capital funding program that avoided risky
financing techniques while providing significant savings and low borrowing costs to the District. As one
recent example, PRAG alerted the District and identified the refunding opportunity associated with
outstanding COPS that will generate over $10 million in present value savings, including a unique
restructuring of variable rate debt to reduce bank and interest rate risks in addition to producing savings
(see Series 2011A in table above).
We recognize the current difficult economic environment we are all facing; therefore, PRAG proposes no
increase in our fixed transaction fees or hourly fees which were established five years ago. Although,the
Consumer Price Index has risen by 12.3% and PRAG hourly fees have increased by an average of over
15%during the same period(as shown in the table below),we propose no adjustments to our hourly rates.
