GENERAL MANAGER'S RECOMMENDATION
Approve Santa Ana River Interceptor Line Loan (SARI) and Repayment
Agreement No. D07-042 with the Orange County Flood Control District
(OCFCD), providing for:
1. A loan of up to 60% of the successful bid amount for improvements to the
SARI Line not to exceed $72,000,000;
2. No interest accruing until June 30, 2018;
3. 3% interest on any unpaid balance through July 2022 and the complete
repayment by July 1 , 2022; and,
4. Authorize the release of $36,000,000 to OCFCD immediately after the award
of the contract, and to allow the remaining balance to be released 12 months
later.
SUMMARY
The County of Orange (County) is in the process of constructing a significant
improvement to the Prado Dam; specifically, raising the height of the dam. This
improvement will result in a negative impact to the Santa Ana River Interceptor
(SARI) Line. As the Prado Dam Improvement Project sponsor, the County is
responsible for mitigating any negative impacts of the project. Initial mitigation
costs were estimated to be as much as $100 million. OCSD previously agreed to
loan 60% of that cost ($60 million) to the OCFCD. However, based on more
recent information, the total cost has been revised to $120 million.
OCSD proposes to loan 60% of the total cost ($72 million) under the terms
agreed upon in the prior agreement.
Page 1
Participating agencies will contribute as follows:
1. The County would cash-flow $36 million.
2. SAWPA would advance the project $12 million over a two-year period.
3. OCSD would advance the project $72 million over a two-year period.
a) OCSD would be reimbursed by the County.
b) The County would be primarily relying on State Subvention Funds.
c) The Subvention Fund reimbursement process has been improved.
d) This loan would be from our reserves and would not impact OCSD
rates.
PRIOR COMMITTEE/BOARD ACTIONS
June 2007: Board approved Santa Ana River Interceptor Line Loan and Repayment
Agreement No. D07-42 with the Orange County Flood Control District (OCFCD) to
provide a no-interest loan until 2018 (revised from 2016), of 60% of the total bid
amount.
April 2007: Board approved Santa Ana River Interceptor Line Loan and Repayment
Agreement No. D07-42 with the Orange County Flood Control District (OCFCD) to
provide a no interest loan until 2016, of 60% of the total bid amount.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
The Orange County Flood Control District (OCFCD) is a department of the
County of Orange (County) responsible for providing control of flood and storm
waters within the boundary of the County of Orange, and of streams flowing into
the County such as the Santa Ana River or San Juan Creek; to mitigate the
effects of tides and waves; and to protect the harbors, waterways, public
highways and property in the district from such waters. The County is a member
agency of Orange County Sanitation District (OCSD).
OCSD owns and operates the Santa Ana Regional Interceptor (SARI); a regional
sewer pipeline from the Orange County line to the OCSD sewage treatment plant
in Huntington Beach. The SARI was constructed as a joint project of OCSD and
the Santa Ana Watershed Project Authority.
OCFCD and OCSD wish to advance the protection and/or relocation of the SARI
(the SARI Project) in response to existing conditions and the raising of the Prado
Dam by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (the Corps) and OCFCD. The SARI
Project shall, to the extent required by law, be publicly bid. The total amount of
construction, design, environmental and project administration costs is not
expected to exceed one-hundred million dollars ($120,000,000).
OCSD will benefit from the continued, uninterrupted use of the SARI and would,
therefore, benefit from OCFCD accelerating the protection and/or relocation of
Page 2
the SARI Project as part of the Santa Ana River Mainstem Project. OCFCD
plans to reimburse OCSD from the State Flood Control Subventions Program.
OCSD would loan to the OCFCD 60% of the winning bid amount, plus design,
environmental and project administration (total project costs), for purposes of
SARI Project design and construction, up to the amount of seventy-two million
dollars ($72,000,000), thirty-six million dollars ($36,000,000) after the award of
the construction contract, and the remainder one year after initial deposit. If the
SARI Project is publicly bid and the total project cost exceeds one-hundred
twenty million dollars ($120,000,000), OCFCD and OCSD shall meet and confer
to determine if an increase in the Project loan amount is warranted and feasible
prior to award of the construction contract, recognizing that, if such an increase is
not warranted or feasible, the construction contract may not be awarded.
The OCFCD agrees to pay OCSD all funds loaned by OCSD in a maximum
amount of seventy-two million dollars ($72,000,000) to the OCFCD as soon as
subvention funding is received with the total balance repaid by no later than July
1, 2022, regardless of whether OCFCD received any subvention funds. Interest
shall accrue on the unpaid balance from July 1, 2018, at an annual interest rate
of three percent (3%) until the unpaid balance has been repaid. Repayment
installments will be made within 30 days of the OCFCD's receipt of subvention
funding in an amount equivalent to sixty percent (60%) of the funds received with
the balance repaid by no later than July 1, 2022 regardless of whether OCFCD
received any subvention funds.

GENERAL MANAGER'S RECOMMENDATION

SUMMARY
This report is the monthly Public Affairs Division update that includes legislative and political
information from Washington, D.C. and Sacramento, lobbyists' activities, and outreach
education and communication programs to member cities, employees and the public. In
addition, attached to this report is the 2010 Legislative Platform for the Committee's
consideration.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Federal Legislative Update
Legislative Advocate: Eric Sapirstein, ENS Resources
Not much has changed on the Congressional landscape since last month. As reported the
budget process is stalled until the fall (after the elections) and the new wrinkle of the President's
nomination to the Supreme Court will certainly tie up the Senate for most of the summer. The
good news is the Senate is moving ahead with the Water Resources Development Act.
Water Resources Development Act (WRDA)
The effort to renew WRDA continues and the Senate Committee on Environment and Public
Works Chairman Barbara Boxer and Ranking Republican James Inhofe (R-OK) issued a call to
Senators to submit WRDA requests for committee consideration. Staff completed and
submitted the necessary forms to the offices of Senators Boxer and Feinstein for consideration.
As a follow-up Senator Feinstein's office requested support from the County of Orange and the
Orange County Water District. Senator Boxer convened a hearing on WRDA and highlighted
her commitment to finalize a bill this year.
In the House, the Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure has begun to hold hearings
into the need for a WRDA reauthorization as well. The District's request for clarification that
SARI Line construction costs are part of the overall project's costs appears to be
noncontroversial in the House; however, as we reported last month, no Republicans will carry
this request. Our biggest champion on this issue, Congressman Miller, had to withdraw our
request meaning that we will be relying on the Senate to carry the day.
As a reminder, the requested technical amendment will simply clarify that the SARI relocation is
"construction project" and thus eligible for possible federal reimbursement when the Santa Ana
Mainstem project is complete. The District has been pushing this issue as a backstop measure
to ensure payback of the loan to the County of Orange.

Its budget season
The biggest news coming out of Sacramento of late is the Governor's release of the May
revision to the budget. Acknowledging that revenues lagged expectations, we now know that
the budget deficit is just over$19 billion. To close the gap, the Governor's proposal contains
drastic cuts, program reductions and policy proposals that the Schwarzenegger believes are
necessary. Overall, the May Revise provides for$83.4 billion in spending for the 2010-11 fiscal
year.
The May revise has numerous differences from the original January budget the most significant
difference being many and contains many more cuts. With lagging revenues and a sluggish
economy, as well as lack of action by the legislature to enact cuts in the current year, California
finds itself in familiar territory wrestling with huge deficits and no consensus on solutions. Throw
in the complicating factor of an election year and all signs point to a long summer in
Sacramento.
Now the Governor's proposals head to the legislature where they will be discussed in public
hearings. Interestingly enough, the new Speaker has indicated his preference to hold public
meetings as opposed to the private "Big 5" discussions that have occurred in the past.
The Democrats in both houses have already stated they do not accept the Governor's proposals
and will work to minimize cuts to health, welfare and human services programs. Below are
some highlights from the Governor's proposals:
Reforms
• Pension Reform —The Governor indicated that he would not sign a budget unless it
included pension reform. While he did not elaborate on the type of pension reform, his
office has been supportive of SB 919 (Hollingsworth), which would make changes to
final compensation periods, contribution rates, retirement ages and benefit levels.
• Budget Reform —The Governor also indicated that budget reform needed to be included
in any final budget package in order to gain his support. Schwarzenegger indicated that
his goal for budget reform is to eliminate the wild variances in State revenues and he is
supportive of the proposals from the California Commission on a 21s' Century Economy.
Health and Human Services
The area that was most deeply impacted by the Governor's proposed cuts is health and
human services. Since much of the State's General Fund spending is protected through the
State Constitution or other voter initiatives, health and human services programs are one of
the few remaining areas in which billions of dollars of savings can be achieved. Below are
some of the cuts proposed by the Governor:
• The elimination of the CalWorks program for a savings of$1.1 billion;
• Reduction of 60% for State mental health services for a savings of$600 million;
• Unspecified cuts to the In-Home Support Services program for a savings of$750
million; and
• Elimination of funding for most child day care for a savings of$1.45 billion. Some
funding would be reserved for preschool and afterschool care for low income
children.

Local Government
Many of the Governor's proposals will have a significant impact on local governments. The
Governor's proposals in the area of health and human services will pressure local governments
to provide a safety net for their residents without needed funding from the State. In addition,
these proposals will have a direct impact on local government:
• State inmate shift—The Governor is proposing to move 15,000 low-risk offenders
from State prison facilities to local detention facilities. The Governor has also
proposed a block grant, so that for each prisoner transferred, a local government
would receive $11,500. In total, this proposal will save the State in excess of$250
million.
• Transportation fund borrowing —The Governor is proposing a one-time borrowing of
$650 million from the Highway Users Tax Account. Due to the gas tax legislation
passed earlier this year, these funds are currently not allocated to any program and
are borrowable. The Governor's budget proposes to pay these funds back to HUTA
by June 2013. Additionally, the Governor is proposing to borrow an additional $325
million from the Motor Vehicle Account to cover other General Fund spending related
to transportation.
• Alternative speed enforcement—As he did in January, the Governor is proposing to
collect additional revenue by allowing local governments to install and operate
cameras which would monitor and enforce speed limits. A portion of the revenue
generated by these citations would be transferred to the State.
Education
The Governor acknowledged that there have been significant cuts to education over the last
three budgets, and as such, he tried to spare education from deep cuts in this budget. The
Governor proposed to fund K-12 and higher education at the same levels proposed in his
January budget. Those funding levels mean that education funding will stay relatively flat
compared to the current budget year. It should also be noted that the Governor withdrew
his previous proposal to eliminate competitive Cal Grants. Additionally, the Governor
proposed a 2.2% enrollment growth funding to community colleges, which equates to an
additional $126 million in funding.
Miscellaneous
The Governor's May Revise contains many provisions which are not covered in this
document. Below are other key proposals put forth in the May revise:
• State Parks —The Governor has proposed to fund the State Parks in the May
Revise. This is a departure from his previous proposals to eliminate funding for the
State Parks System.
• Tequillon Ridge oil platform —The Governor has removed his support for the
Tequillion Ridge oil project in the wake of the large oil spill off of the Louisiana coast.
As such, the May revise no longer includes proceeds from this project (which were to
pay for the maintenance of the State Parks).
• Proposed 2010 Water Bond —The Governor has proposed the allocation of funds
from the upcoming water bond before the voters in November. The budget contains
the following allocations, should the voters approve the measure in November:
o Over $600 million to the Department of Water Resources for various
programs contained within the water bond. These programs include: local
drought relief, local groundwater and conveyance projects, and grants for
desalination facilities.
Form No.DW-102-1 Agenda Report—SC
Revised:01/08/07
Page 3
o Over $418 million to the State Water Resources Control Board for the
implementation of the advanced treatment and water recycling program.
State employee furloughs—The Governor has proposed a one-day per month furlough program
for most State employees for the 2010-11 fiscal year. The furlough program is expected to save
the State $445 million over the course of the year.
Public Affairs Report
The heavy school-related tour season is over as we approach summer and staff is proud to
report we had a banner year with students. Since January, OCSD has given 43 tours to 691
people. Of the 43 tours, 72 percent are students from college, high school, and middle school.
This trend of schools coming to OCSD continues to grow and demonstrates the need to focus
our outreach efforts on the educational community. Our speaker's bureau has reached over
1300 people and 23 groups.
The RFP to redesign OCSD's website is on the streets and so far we have had a very positive
response. In about a month, we expect to interview the top firms and hopefully have a selection
made in July.
Staff has revised the retiree display—the list of all employees that have retired from the district.
The new display is modular and will be updated annually at minimal cost. This new display is
now in the Board room and matches the color scheme of the lobby-area information displays.
