REPORT OF ASSISTANT GENERAL MANAGER-ADMINISTRATION The Assistant General Manager of Administration had no report. REPORT OF ASSISTANT GENERAL MANAGER -OPERATIONS The Assistant General Manager of Operations had no report. REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR OF FINANCE Gary Streed reported that the Districts' daily COP rates were included in the agenda package mailed to the Committee. Referring to the FAHR Calendar, Mr. Streed advised that at the last meeting, the Directors approved moving the January meeting to the 15th, because the holiday will back up the other Committees meetings. There was discussion about meeting at 6:00 p.m. on the 15th, due to conflicts with two other tentatively scheduled meetings. Those meetings have been canceled, therefore, the FAHR meeting will be at 5:30 p.m. on January 15. Mr. Streed further advised that the February meeting falls on a holiday and stated it has been tentatively moved to February 19; the third Wednesday of the month. REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR OF HUMAN RESOURCES The Director of Human Resources had no report. REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR OF GENERAL SERVICES ADMINISTRATION The Director of General Services had no report. REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR OF COMMUNICATIONS The Director of Communication reported on an article that appeared in Sunday's Orange County Register, on page one, about the Districts' recent workplace investigation. As a result of that article, U.S.A. Today quoted one sentence from the Register article in their Monday paper. Ms. Tuchman announced that the Rate Advisory Committee will be holding their third meeting at the Districts on Thursday, December 12, 1996, from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. in the Board Room. Also, the Orange County Council of Governments will hold their second meeting at the Districts in the afternoon of the 12th from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. I< Minutes of Finance, Adm: nd Human Resources Committee Page 3 December 11, 1996 REPORT OF GENERAL COUNSEL General Counsel passed out a memo and reported on the Implementation of Proposition No. 218. In his review of the proposition, Mr. Woodruff found 218 is not very clearly written and much of it is not related to the Districts. However, Mr. Woodruff concluded from his review that sewer service is clearly property related. Therefore, those provisions of 218 dealing with property related services will apply to the Districts. Mr. Woodruff advised that a vote of the people is not required whenever sewer rates are raised. However, we must comply with all of the procedural requirements, many of which the Districts already do. Notification will have to be made to all property owners whenever sewer service fees are raised. The cost of these mailings is estimated to be anywhere from $250,000 to $300,000. Mr. Woodruff addressed the impact of 218 on Capital Facilities Connection charges, which is a combination of Capital Facilities and Connection charges. INTRODUCTION BY JOINT CHAIR COLLINS Joint Chair Collins introduced and welcomed Eva Miner Bradford, Council Member from the City of La Palma, as a new member on the Board, and who served, as a valued member, for a few years on the Districts' Board of Directors in the past. DISCUSSION ITEMS (Nos. 1-5) 1. FAHR96-73: 2. FAHR96-74: RECEIVE AND FILE TREASURER'S REPORT FOR THE MONTH OF NOVEMBER 1996 (All Districts) COMMITTEE DISCUSSION: The Director of Finance provided the Committee with a hand-out report for the month of November in compliance with the Districts' policy. He noted that a few cash accounts have been separated out, and the performance of the deferred compensation fund's various portfolios has been added. There are changes in the deferred compensation law which will be addressed at the next Committee meeting. MOTION: It was moved, seconded and duly carried to receive and file the Treasurer's Report for the month of November 1996, and forward to the Joint Boards. SELECTION OF INSURANCE BROKER(S) OF RECORD FOR THE DISTRICTS' PROPERTY/CASUAL TY/LIABILITY AND EMPLOYEE MEDICAL INSURANCE PROGRAMS (All Districts) COMMITTEE DISCUSSION: Steve Kozak reported on the Property/Casualty/Liability broker of record recommendation. Mr. Kozak summarized the RFP process. In response to the Committee, Mr. Kozak advised that John Burnham & Company would be the Districts' second choice. Mike Peterman reported on the Employee Medical Insurance Programs broker of record recommendation. Discussion took place regarding the performance of Robert F. Driver Company as the Districts' past health insurance broker of record. It was noted that Drivers' San Diego office Minutes of Finance, Admin Page 4 j Human Resources Committee December 11, 1996 3. FAHR96-75: handled the Districts' health insurance in the past, and did not perform well in that area. However, their liability insurance office in Irvine does an outstanding job. Burnham Benefits Insurance Services was recommended as the Districts' Employee Medical/Health Care Insurance Broker of Record. Mr. Peterman advised that their representative has direct experience with Metra Health, the Districts' Health Insurance Provider, with whom we have a rate guarantee for three years. We have had problems with Metra Health also, and it will be a significant benefit to have a company that knows the inner workings of Metra Health. The Committee requested a separate vote for each of the broker of record programs due to the level of concern by the Committee regarding Robert F. Driver's past performance as the Districts' Medical Insurance Broker of Record . MOTION: It was moved, seconded and duly carried with four (4) Ayes and three (3) Nays, to recommend the Joint Boards approve the selection of Robert F. Driver Associates to serve as the Districts' Property/Casualty/Liability Insurance Broker of Record for a three-year period commencing on January 1, 1997, with the Districts' option to renew for an additional two years thereafter; MOTION: It was moved, seconded and unanimously carried to recommend the Joint Boards approve the selection of Burnham Benefits Insurance Services to serve as the Districts' Employee Medical/Health Care Insurance Broker of Record for a three-year period commencing on January 1, 1997, with the Districts' option to renew for an additional two years thereafter. STATE OF THE INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY DIVISION (All Districts) COMMITTEE DISCUSSION: Information Technology Director Ed Hodges introduced Chris Dahl, Information Technology Manager, and Rob Thompson, Manager of Plant Operations. Mr. Dahl gave a slide presentation of the internal audit findings performed by Greg Mathews, Principal Administrative Analyst, and discussed actions taken as a result of the audit such as organizational changes to the Division and implementation of new programs, policies and procedures. Upon conclusion of Mr. Dahl's presentation, the Committee commended Mr. Dahl for an excellent presentation. Director Dunlap expressed the Committee's appreciation that Information Technology is not automating the plants for the sake of automation, but for the bottom line of improving the Districts' services and ability to be more productive. Manpower requirements at the Booster Station have been reduced by five positions due to automation. Bob Ooten will have the station manned during this winter's peak flows to be sure it is working satisfactorily. The elimination of these positions moves the Districts ahead a little faster than anticipated at reducing the number of FTEs. -\ -, Minutes of Finance, Admir --ld Human Resources Committee Page 5 December 11, 1996 4. FAHR96-76: 5. FAHR96-77: CLOSED SESSION MOTION: It was moved, seconded and duly carried to receive and file this information-only item. EMPLOYMENT STATUS REPORT (All Districts): Total head count for November 1996 at the Districts. COMMITTEE DISCUSSION: Mr. Peterman advised that the total FTEs is 559. 75, with a total number of people of 570. There are 54 vacancies. Don McIntyre advised that most of the 54 vacancies will not be filled, because it would not be logical to fill them when we are looking at a 15% staffing reduction. He advised we will use temporary hires, if necessary. Judy Wilson reported that in the O&M area where we lost a number of employees, we are looking at the application of plant automation, may go to a six-to-six work schedule, and may even consider contracting out collections for small lines. Mike Peterman advised a head count report will be brought to the Committee each month. In response to Director Swan, Don McIntyre advised that the Districts is developing a five-year staffing plan which is expected to be completed next quarter, and will be brought before the Committee when completed. MOTION: It was moved, seconded and duly carried to receive and file the Employment Status Report. REAL PROPERTY LEASE AGREEMENT WITH VILLAGE NURSERIES L.P., AT PLANT NO. 1, SPECIFICATION NO. L-018 (All Districts) COMMITTEE DISCUSSION: Ed Hodges, General Services Administration Director, reported on this item. In response to Committee questions, he advised the lease site in not in a desirable location, which accounts for the lower than market income per acre. The agreement does contain a good liability clause. MOTION: It was moved, seconded and duly carried to: 1) Recommend the Joint Boards authorize execution of the Real Property Lease Agreement with Village Nurseries at a lease rate favorable to the Districts; 2) Directed staff to review Village Nurseries' financials in making a lease rate decision; and 3) Include in the Lease Agreement a 30-day cancellation clause with cause, and a 6-months cancellation clause for any reason. The Chair reported to the Committee the need for a closed session, as authorized by Government Code Sections 54957.6, to discuss and consider the item that is specified under "Closed Session" as Item (a)(1) on the published Agenda.

APPOINTMENT OF A CHAIR PRO TEM No appointment was necessary. PUBLIC COMMENTS No comments were made. Minutes of Finance, Admir. 1d Human Resources Committee Page 2 November 13, 1996 APPROVAL OF MINUTES It was moved, seconded and duly carried to approve the draft minutes of the October 9, 1996 meeting of the Finance, Administration and Human Resources Committee. REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE CHAIR The Chair advised that Director Collins had a few items to report. Director Collins updated the Committee on two issues: • Director Collins and Nancy Wheatley met with SAWPA regarding the terms of the proposed agreement with them. SAWPA represents several wastewater collection agencies east of us. The agreement will go before the Joint Boards in the near future. • A few weeks ago LAFCO had an item on their agenda to restructure the Districts. After contacting them regarding this issue, they have reconsidered and will give the Districts some time to reorganize on our own. The Districts have until late spring to follow up with them on this issue. REPORT OF THE GENERAL MANAGER The General Manager indicated he would be reporting to the Committee in closed session on the status of the disciplinary actions which are the result of the recent workplace investigations. REPORT OF ASSISTANT GENERAL MANAGER-ADMINISTRATION The Assistant General Manager of Administration reported last month that revenues were about $2 million below budget projections. After investigation, she has found the following: • Property Taxes There has been a decrease in revenue from property taxes, due to an increase in the assessment appeals process. Assessed valuation continues to be relatively flat. Districts 1, 2, 3, 6, 7 and 11 all had decreases in assessed valuation. The only Districts with significant increases in assessed valuation were Districts 13 and 14, however, the Districts receive no property tax allocation from them. (District 5 had a 1 % increase in assessed valuation.) • User Fees The other part of the shortfall is due to recent actions taken by firms such as Ad Valorem and Revenue Enhancement who are reviewing charges on clients' property tax bills for a percent of the savings. These firms have filed over fifty claims in the past year-and-a-half, representing clients such as Fedco and Price Club. Total refunds to date are approximately $1.1 million. The companies they represent are generally companies with large square footage and low water usage. Efforts to replace the current user fee schedule with one based on categories of land use should result in more accurate billings and fewer claims filed. -~\ Minutes of Finance, Adm, ..ind Human Resources Committee Page 3 November 13, 1996 Judy Wilson also advised, with the passage of Proposition 218 in the November election, General Counsel has been asked to take a careful look at the initiative. It appears that we will need to do the required notice, even if we are merely extending the current user fee schedule. The effective date of the initiative is July 1997. The Districts should adopt a new fee schedule in the spring to avoid the notification expense. General Counsel will have a report for the December FAHR meeting. REPORT OF ASSISTANT GENERAL MANAGER -OPERATIONS The Assistant General Manager of Operations had no report. REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR OF FINANCE Mr. Streed advised that two handouts were placed before the Committee. One of the handouts was from Ruthann Moomey of Callan Associates. Ms. Moomey will give a presentation regarding the Quarterly Investment Portfolio Report and, specifically, will review the new policy duration of the long-term portfolio. The other handout was prepared by Gary Streed which addresses a recent article in the Orange County Register. The handout which Mr. Streed prepared contains correct figures and information which was not accurately stated in the newspaper article which depicted Special Districts as being "flushed with cash." Mr. Streed advised that the Committee's January 1997 meeting is currently scheduled for January 8, 1997.

Morgan for the Series "C" COPs. Most fixed rate Series "B" COPs have been refunded and the 1992 Refunding COPs have always been remarketed by PaineWebber in a weekly mode. The attached graph shows the variable interest rates on each of the daily rate COPs since the last report, and the effective fixed rate for the two refunding issues which are covered by an interest rate exchange agreement commonly called a "swap." Variable rates historically rise at the end of each calendar quarter, and especially at year-end, because of business taxes and statements. The rates decline to prior levels immediately in the following month. Staff will maintain our continuous rate monitoring and ongoing dialog with the remarketing agents and rating agencies to keep the Committee fully informed about developments in the program as they occur and at each meeting.

Attachment "B" ADDITIONAL INFORMATION (Background and/or Summary) BACKGROUND In May 1992, following a competitive Request for Proposal (RFP) process involving large insurance brokerage firms, the Joint Boards selected Robert F. Driver Associates of Newport Beach ("Driver") to serve as the Broker of Record for the Districts' property and casualty insurance needs. In late 1993, Robert F. Driver Company of San Diego was assigned Broker of Record responsibilities for employee medical insurance. The insurance premium cost figures shown above in the Budget Information section, include Driver's brokerage commission fees. In March 1996, the Finance, Administration and Human Resources Committee ("Committee") considered a staff report involving a preliminary benchmarking analysis of the Districts' risk management and insurance programs. In May, the Committee authorized staff to conduct a new RFP for Insurance Broker of Record services, citing the value of periodically returning to the marketplace to confirm that the Districts are receiving competitive professional services. Staff has completed a competitive proposal process to ensure that the Districts' receive a high level of risk management, and property/casualty/liability and employee medical/health care insurance broker services, at competitive price levels. This item reports on the results of the RFP process for selection of Insurance Broker(s) of Record effective January 1, 1997. RFP PROCESS Staff prepared a comprehensive RFP covering both property/casualty/liability and employee medical insurance brokerage and related risk management services. The RFP provided all firms with the opportunity to submit proposals in one or both of these speciality areas. On September 26, the RFP was sent to eleven (11) large and regional insurance brokerage firms. On October 18, the Districts received three (3) property/casualty/liability insurance broker proposals, and five (5) employee medical insurance broker proposals from five (5) firms. A Proposal Review Team, consisting of the Districts' Human Resources Director, Employee Benefits Coordinator, Purchasing/Contracts Manager, and Financial Manager, evaluated the eight (8) written proposals. The Review Team determined that three (3) of the proposals were non-responsive to the Districts' RFP, and removed them from further review. On November 21, the Review Team conducted interviews with the following five finalist proposers: Property/Casualty/Liability Broker of Record Employee Medical/Health Care Broker of Record John Burnham & Company Burnham Benefits Insurance Services Robert F. Driver Associates HCM Benefits, Inc. Marsh & McLennan RESULTS OF PROPOSAL EVALUATION The following presents an overview of the five finalist's proposals, each of which was responsive to the minimum requirements of the RFP. The proposals are summarized in Attachment "A." Details of the cost proposals, both fee-based and commission-based options, are summarized in Attachment "B." I. Property/Casualty/Liability Broker of Record • John Burnham & Company John Burnham & Company ("Burnham"), ranked as the 40th largest independent insurance firm in the U.S., has been doing business in California for more than 100 years. Burnham has maintained an office in Irvine for more than 25 years. Their corporate office is in San Diego. Burnham's recent average annual premium volume, for both private and public sector clients, is approximately $160 million. H:\WP.DTA\FIN\2210\CRANE\FPC.MTG\FAHR.96\DEC.AlnFAHR96.74 Revision: 8/28/96 Page 2 of4 • The Burnham proposal was resr ive with a level of service that included bot' · surance brokerage and risk managment consulting services. JWever, the Proposal Review Team expres _. concerns about Burnham's limited experience serving public agencies of similar size and scope to the Districts. In addition, the Burnham proposal relied heavily on a single subcontractor, located in San Francisco, to provide risk managment consulting services. The Burnham cost proposal, under the fee-based option, is $100,000 minimum annually, which would include the fees of the independent risk management consultant. Burnham indicated that they could work with the Districts to develop a commission-based fee proposal. Robert F. Driver Associates Robert F. Driver Associates ("Driver; , described as the largest public agency insurance broker in California, was established almost 20 years ago in Newport Beach. Driver is a division of The Robert Driver Company, Inc., which was founded in 1925 in San Diego (corporate office). Driver's recent average annual premium volume is approximately $75 million; over 95% of which was placed solely for public agencies. Driver provides insurance and risk management services to more than 130 special districts in California, including approximately 12 wastewater treatment agencies, from their Newport Beach office. Driver's brokerage capabilities include access to the major insurance underwriters, and development of several speciality insurance products. Driver presented a comprehensive proposal, including a level of service consistent with maintaining the high level of brokerage services that they currently provide to the Districts. Also, Driver has developed an effective working relationship with the Districts' General Counsel, and third-party claims administrator, Carl Warren & Company. The Driver proposal also demonstrated their ability and willingness to increase their scope of work to respond to the expanded needs of the Dristricts. Driver's expanded scope of work would include such areas of risk management consulting as: Risk and loss probability analysis, loss control stduies, construction and vendor contracts review, and policy and procedures development. The Driver cost proposal, under both fee-based and commission options, is $90,000 annually, including the enhanced scope of work. • Marsh & McLennan Marsh & McLennan Companies ("Marsh"), described as the world's largest broker, has been a licensed broker in California for more than 50 years. The Marsh family of companies has specialty offices throughout the U.S. The Marsh service office in Newport Beach was opened 24 years ago. Marsh's recent average annual premium volume is approximately $15 billion for U.S. clients. Marsh's large premium volume is directly related to the considerable size of the company and its insurance buying power. On the other hand, to manage its size, Marsh has centralized its insurance marketing and consulting services. Since 1992, insurance placement is handled through five regional offices, for the most part, using standardized forms of insurance. Similarly, Marsh's consulting service resources are located in various offices across the U.S. The Proposal Review Team expressed concerns about the impact of Marsh's size and structure on the ongoing access and availability of providing services to the Districts, as well as, how such widely dispersed services would be coordinated, over the long run. The Marsh cost proposal, under both fee-based and commission options, is $92,000 annually including 100 hours allocated for loss control consulting. II . Employee Medical/Health Care Broker of Record • Burnham Benefits Insurance Services Burnham Benefits Insurance Services ("BBIS"), part of John Burnham & Company, has provided employee benefits insurance services from their Irvine office for over 25 years. Burnham's recent average annual premium volume is approximately $194 million. BBIS proposed a flexible level of service through their account team, including claims handling and employee benefits consulting. The consulting services would include employee benefits wokflow analysis for Human Resources, employee communications planning, and preparation of a comprehensive strategic business plan for obtaining, delivering, and administering employee medical/healkth care benefits going forward. H:\WP .OTA \FIN\221 O\CRANE\FPC.MTG\FAHR.96\DEC.AlnFAHR96.74 Page 3 of 4 The strategic plan would be develope,., o.,,y the BBIS principal-in-charge, whose bac' ,und Includes prior account manager experience with both MetraHealth anl Jrthwestern/ReliaStar. Initially, the busine~ ,an would focus on developing a set of actions to resolve the problems that exist with MetraHealth's service delivery. The BBIS cost proposal ranges from $50,000 to $60,000 in the first year (fee-based), to an estimated $90,000 (commission). • HCM Benefits HCM Benefits, Inc. ("HCM"), formerly called Cal-Surance Group Benefits, was formed in 1962. HCM has been under its current management for 22 years. The HCM office is located in Torrance. HCM's recent average annual premium volume is approximately $250 million. HCM proposed a flexible level of service through their account team, including claims handling. Also, HCM emphasized the role of ongoing communications with employees about the coverages and uses of their benefits package. HCM included examples of various employee informational and educational materials that they prepared for other clients. The HCM cost proposal ranges from a baseline $84,000 (fee-based) to an estimated $90,000 (commission), plus certain add-ons. CONCLUSIONS The following presents a summary of the conclusions and recommendations of the Proposal Review Team. I. Property/Casualty/Liability Broker of Record The Proposal Review Team recommends the selection of Robert F. Driver Associates to serve as the Districts' Broker of Record for property/casualty/liability insurance. Reasons for this recommendation include: Driver submitted a comprehensive written proposal, and made an effective team presentation during their interview. Driver has assigned senior members of their staff to serve the Districts. Both the Driver firm , as well as the account service team assigned to the Districts, have substantial experiehce with the risk management and insurance issues confronting the wastewater industry in California. Driver presented a lower cost proposal, and it included an enhanced scope of work. II. Employee Medical/Health Care Broker of Record The Proposal Review Team recommends the selection of Burnham Benefits Insurance Services to serve as the Districts' Broker of Record for employee medical\health care insurance. Reasons for this recommendation include: Burnham submitted a written proposal that was both responsive to the immediate needs of the Districts, and presented a long-term approach to enhancing the Districts' management of employee medical benefits. Burnham would assign a prihcipal-in- charge whose background includes work experience with MetraHealth and ReliaStar. Burnham presented the lower cost proposal. The Proposal Review Team also concluded that the Professional Services Agreements with both Driver and Burnham should be structured to provide for an annual review of the not-to-exceed compensation limit, and an annual review of work scopes. This flexibility is essential for cost control, and for managing the level of consultant resources so as to more effectively meet the Districts' needs, as those needs change over time. RECOMMENDED ACTION 1. Approve the selection of Robert F. Driver Associates to serve as the Districts' Property/Casualty/Liability Insurance Broker of Record for a three (3) year period commencing on January 1, 1997, with the Districts' option to renew for an additional two (2) years thereafter. 2. Approve the selection of Burnham Benefits Insurance Services to serve as the Districts' Employee Medical/Health Care Insurance Broker of Record for a three (3) year period commencing on January 1, 1997, with the Districts' option to renew for an additional two (2) years thereafter.

JOINT BOARDS Meeting Date: Approved: Am~nded: Ferwarded to"': ADDITIONAL INFORMATION (Background and/or Summary) In May, 1996, the Districts completed an internal audit of the Information Technology division. During the course of this investigation, it was determined that the Information Technology division was not operating as efficiently as possible. Additionally, there was a need for improving some of the policies and procedures affecting the way that the division conducts its business and interfaces with its internal customers. As part of the audit, staff conducted a survey of the divisions internal customers. The anonymous survey was randomly distributed to seventy-one (71) users of IT services; fifty-five (55) individuals responded resulting in a 77% response rate. The results of that survey helped provide the framework for some of the recommendations that have or are being implemented. Subsequent to the audit, the Districts have hired a new Manager of Information Technology, Chris Dahl. The division has recently been reorganized and now has a help desk. IT has shown a dramatic increase in its productivity in the past 6 months and is fast becoming a model for customer support. Chris Dahl, the Manager of Information Technology, will be presenting a brief overview of the division, the results of the internal audit and the status of the division relative to implementing the recommendations contained in the audit report. Budget Information The implementation of all of the recommendations was accounted for in this years JO Budget and no additional monies are needed.

JOINT BOARDS Meeting Date: Approved: Amended: Forwarded to: ADDITIONAL INFORMATION (Background and/or Summary) The Districts own a strip of land containing approximately four acres located west of the west bank of the Santa Ana River south of Garfield Avenue to south of Yorktown Avenue in the City of Huntington Beach. In October 1991, the Districts entered into a five year real property lease agreement at Plant No. 1 with Village Nurseries L.P., a California Limited Partnership, specification number L-013-1. The term of that agreement expired on October 31, 1996. The terms set forth in that agreement were very generous for Village Nurseries. Under the terms of the original agreement, Village Nurseries was to pay the Districts, the sum of One Thousand ($1 ,000.00) Dollars per annum. Additionally, they were responsible for all of the upkeep and maintenance of the approximately four acre parcel. In mid October, staff contacted the Southern California Edison corporation to investigate how much they charge for their land leases under power lines in the Orange County area. SCE stated that they receive between $800 to $2,200 per acre per year depending on the property. In mid October, staff began negotiations with Village Nurseries to renew the terms of the agreement and increase the annual payment. Attached for your guidance and information is a copy of the proposed new lease. The new lease will increase the annual lease rate from $250 per acre to $400 per acre beginning at the inception of the lease. Beginning in year three, the rate will increase to $800.00 per acre per year with a subsequent $200.00 per acre per year increase every two years for the remainder of the lease. A ten-year term is proposed, with four, five-year mutually negotiated options. All of the other terms remain the same. Budget Information The proposed lease will generate $1,600 a year in new revenue for the Districts for years 1-2. Additionally, it will generate $3,200 a year in years 3-4, $4,000 a year for years 5-6, $4,800 a year in years 7-8, $5,600 in a year years 9-10. This revenue was not anticipated in the FY 96-97 Budget. Staff Recommendation Staff recommends that the FAHR recommend to the Joint Boards that the Districts enter into this lease with Village Nurseries for a term of 10 years and four, five-year extensions to the lease terms that will be mutually negotiable. c: Department Head AGM-Administration AGM-Operations General Manager A:\VILLNUR.AIT Page 2 of 2 Revision: 8/28/96 REAL PROPERTY LEASE COUNTY SANITATION DISTRICT PLANT NO. 1 FOUNTAIN VALLEY, CALIFORNIA SPECIFICATION NO.
