approximately 28%. He reported bids were requested from several

not to exceed $210,000.

g. FAHR04-60 Recommend to the Board of Directors to direct staff to proceed to
MOTION:
evaluate non-residential parcels to determine if they have been
undercharged for annual sewer service user fees and , if so, to collect the
proper charges on the property tax bill in the future.
Bob Lockhart of Revenue Enhancement Group addressed the Directors
and thanked Director Duvall for visitin g his organization. He stated he did
not agree with the facts as stated in Director Duvall's May 24th report
regarding the Register and Kimberly-Clark. Mr. Lockhart had no opinion
regarding how many years to go back for over/under charges. His only
concern was the possibility of creating two distinct classes if the Board
approved to not go back for four years.
Director Duvall discussed his findings with the Committee after his
meetings with Mr. Lockhart and District staff, and the three options
available to resolve the issue. He advised he had received a new
proposal from Revenue Enhancement Group for $1.8 million to review
20,000 parcels at a cost of $90 per parcel. He noted that the opportunity
had been missed to include the updated information on the property tax
roll for this year.
Directors then discussed the pros and cons of preparing an RFP, sole-
sourcing the project, or to direct staff to do the work for a cost of
approximately $750,000. Blake Anderson, General Manager, reported
staff was ready to move forward with the project, and if they discovered
they were not able to complete the task in a timely and efficient manner,
they would advise the FAHR Committee. He felt it was important that
District staff perform the person-to-person contact that would be required
in this project.
A motion was moved and seconded to direct staff to improve the database
in-house over an extended time period using temporary employees and to
determine at a later time the number of years to go back for under/over
charges.
A substitute motion was moved and seconded to direct staff to conduct a
formal RFP process, compare the results to the costs to complete the
process in-house and return to the FAHR Committee with a
recommendation. The substitute motion failed by a vote of six nays and
two ayes.
It was moved, seconded and duly carried to recommend approval to the
Board of Directors direct staff to improve the database in-house over an
extended time period using temporary employees and to determine at a
later time the number of years to go back for under/over charges.

Orange County Sanitation District
FROM: Gary G. Streed, Director of Finance
Originator: Michael D. White, Controller
SUBJECT: CERTIFICATES OF PARTICIPATION (COP) MONTHLY REPORT -JUNE 2004
GENERAL MANAGER'S RECOMMENDATION
Receive and file Certificates of Participation (COP) Monthly Report for the month of June 2004.
SUMMARY
The District began issuing Certificates of Participation (COPs) on a variable interest rate basis in
1990. These variable rate COPs were a part of our long-term financing plan which also included
some more traditional fixed rate borrowing.
In 1992 and 1993, some of the fixed rate COPs were refunded and replaced with synthetic-fixed
rate COPs. These are variable interest rate COPs that are also subject to a long-term fixed-rate
interest exchange agreement (SWAP). The SWAP provides the maximum interest rate to be paid
by the District, and is less costly than traditional fixed rate borrowing.
In August 2000, the entire financing program was restructured and modernized to incorporate and
take advantage of the consolidation of District books of account and revenue structure. This
process has reduced the number of COP issues from five to three; 1992 Refunding COPs, 1993
Refunding COPs and 2000 Refunding COPs. The 2000 COPs can be divided into Series A and
Series B, if additional remarketing agents are desired.
In August 2003, the District issued $280 million of fixed rate COPs, Series 2003, that have varying
coupon rates that are matched against the varying maturity dates. The true interest cost for the
entire issue is 5.15 percent.
Variable interest rate COPs can be put back on the market by the buyer each day. When this
happens, they must be remarketed or sold to another buyer. This process, called remarketing, is
generally provided by a municipal bond underwriter.
The remarketing agent sets the interest rate they believe is required to sell the COPs. Some
issuers believe that having more than one remarketing agent promotes competition and results in
lower interest costs.
Staff has monitored variable interest rate issues of other agencies since the inception of our
program. The attached charts are described in the "Additional Information" section of this agenda
report. They are provided monthly to compare our actual interest rates to a composite index, and
to other selected issuers of similar credit quality, and with COP issues of similar amounts. Many
variables affect interest rates, but staff expects our rates to be among the lowest.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
The first graph entitled, "OCSD COP Rate History Report," shows the actual variable interest rates
paid 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
"swap."
The second bar chart entitled, "Comparative Daily COP Rate History Report," shows the
performance of the District's Daily Rate COPs as compared to a composite index rate, which
represents the average rate of six similar variable rate daily reset borrowings.
The third bar chart entitled, "COP Rate History, Comparison of Hi@hest '& Lowest Rates," compares
the perfQrr:nance (monthly averag~e interest rate) 0f the District's Daily Rate COPs with the highest
and l0west monthly average rates from among six similar variable rate daily reset COPs.
The table entitled, "COP Rate History, Comparison of M01ithly Averages," shows the monthly
\lariable interest rate performance of the District's Daily Rate COPs as compi,ared to the composite
index. Estimated annual interest payments calculated for a standard $100 million par amount, are
also shown.
Variable rates historically rise at the end of each calendar quarter, and especially at year-end,
because of business taxes and liquidity requirements. The rates tend to decline to prior levels
immediately in the following month.
Staff maintains continuous rate-monitoring and ongoing dialog with the remarketing agents to keep
the Committee fully informed about developments in the program as they may occur.

OSHA Incidence Rates District-Wide
The industry average is 4.5 and the DART Incidence Rate for the District was 3.03 for January-
May 2004. The OSHA DART Case Incidence Rate is calculated by multiplying the number of
injuries by 200,000 and dividing the sum by total hours worked. The rate is also based on the
data for the calendar year so the rate will change as the number of hours worked increases.

The Total Injury Frequency Rate is a combination of the DART Cases and the cases that
require Other Medical Treatment. The industry average for Total Injury Frequency rate is 7.3
and the District rate was 3.46 for January-May 2004. First Aid cases are not included in the
calculation of this rate.

Workers' Compensation Claims and Costs
The Workers' Compensation Claims and Costs are reported by fiscal year. The DART and
Total Injury graphs shown above are calendar year rates as required for OSHA recordkeeping.
All claims and medical invoices are reviewed by a third party to ensure that proper medical
treatment is provided for injured employees and the costs for the treatment are within
established guidelines. The medical bills reviewed July 2003 -May 2004 totaled $264, 113.19.
Medical treatment costs are charged to the fiscal year in which the injury occurred. All open
claims have the potential to incur additional costs. After the medical review process, the
amount was reduced to $144,237.76, which resulted in savings of $119,875.43 for this reporting
period.

are open within the organization, whether internal or external.

and procedures to its agency recruitment processes, whether internal or open.
5.0 PROCEDURE
5.1 PERSONNEL REQUISITION
5.1.1 A personnel requisition is the first step for the hiring manager/supervisor
to communicate staffing needs to Human Resources; however, if the
recruitment requires testing (hands-on, written, essay, etc.) as part of the
interview process, the testing methods must be reviewed for validity and
reliability by Human Resources prior to the initiation of a personnel
requisition.
5.1.2 The hiring supervisor completes the personnel requisition and receives
the appropriate signatures required before sending it to Human
Resources.
5.1.3 Human Resources reviews the requisition to make sure the qualifications
are appropriate for the position. If changes are necessary, Human
Resources will work with the appropriate manager/supervisor.

as a posting. Each posting will include the following information:
• Wage range
• Department
• Brief job description

• Procedure for applying
• Brief benefits overview

approval.

as internal recruitments for ten business days unless authorized by the
HR Di rector and extenuating circumstances apply. During the internai
posting process, if there a.Fe' is at least twe one internal applicants an,d
#ley he/she meets the minimum qualifications for the position, tRGse that
applicants will be Interviewed. It an internal applicant is not selected or if
there are no internal applicants, the position shall be advertised as an
external recruitment.
5.2.4 Department representatives are provided with postings tor
communication within their designated departments.
5.2.5 Bulletin boards at Plant No. 1 where Employment Opportunity Bulletins
will be regularly posted are located in the Control Center, and
Warehouse, outside the Human Resources Office and in the
Administration Building lunchroom.
5.2.6 Internal Job Announcement Notifications are sent via e-mail to all OCSD
employees tor internal and external recruitments.
5.2. 7 Employment Opportunity bulletin boards at Plant No. 2 are located in the

5.5 INTERVIEW PROCESS
5.5.1 The interview panel members are selected along with the interview
date(s). Applicants are scheduled, interview questions are prepared,
and the interview panel conducts the actual interview.
5.5.2 The recruiter and the hiring supeNisor work together to select the
interview panel. However, the recruiter makes the final decision to
ensure consistency. The ideal interview panel will include the hiring
supervisor, one employee within the department, two individuals outside
the department, and the recruiter, or another member of the Human
Resources Department. Normally, subordinates within the hiring
department are not included in the interview panel.
5.5.3 The recruiter and the hiring manager work together to establish a set of
quesfions for the candidates.
5.5.4 The recruiter prepares interview packets and distributes them to the
interview panel. Packets include:
• An overview of the interview process
• A copy of the interview schedule
• A copy of the employment bulletin opportunity/posting
• Copies of candidate applications
• Interview questions and evaluation forms for each candidate
5.5.5 The interview panel will meet at least one half hour before the interview.
The panel will finalize the interview questions that are recommended by
the hiring supervisor and the recruiter. The panel may add or delete
questions. The panel will gain an understanding from the hiring
supervisor about the criteria with which to select the ideal candidate, and
adopt the appropriate criteria.
5.5.6 The recruiter facilitates the interview process. When interviews are
completed, the interview panel members evaluate each candidate
interviewed. The top three candidates are identified and ranked in order
of preference based on the criteria established prior to the interview. The
recruiter collects the documentation at the end of the interview process.
5.5.7 The final candidate is selected from the top three candidates when a
majority decision is reached. If a majority decision cannot be reached,
the General Manager or designee will make the final determination
based on the input of the hiring supervisor, the panel, and the HR
representative. If a majority decision is reached, and the hiring
supervisor does not agree with the final decision, he or she may appeal
for a final decision from the General Manager or designee.
5.6 RECRUITMENT APPEALS PROCESS
5.6.1 Employees should bring recruitment process and decision-making issues
to the attention of the Human Resources Manager as soon as possible.

5.6.2 If the issue is not resolved to the employee's satisfaction, the employee
may file a written statement concerning the problem to the Director of
Human Resources within ten business days of receipt of the manager's
decision. Upon request by either party, a meeting may be held to
discuss the issue and establish remedies.
5.6.3 The employee will be provided a written response from the Director of
Human Resources within ten business days after their statement is
received. The decision of Human Resources is final (see policy F50,00,
Problem Solving Procedure and F60.00, Grievance Procedure).

applicant's:

• Educational background
• Salary history
• Parity within the department
5.7.2 The HR Compensation Analyst reviews the recommended salary, and
approves or makes additional recommendations. All salary offers that are
either at or beyond step 4 of the range will require the approval of the
Human Resources Director (or designee). Under no circumstances
should panel members (excluding the HR representative) or any
other OCSD employee discuss salary offers with candidates or
make promises of any kind. HR staff are the only employees
authorized to engage in salary discussions with job candidates.

initiates the background investigation. Background investigation results
are provided to the candidate by OCSD's background screening firm.
5.7.4 When the status change form is approved and the background
investigation is clear, the recruiter makes a verbal employment offer to
the candidate, which is contingent upon results of a pre-employment
physical and drug screening. Upon acceptance of the employment offer,
the recruiter sends regret letters to unsuccessful candidates. Internal
candidates are contacted personally prior to receiving regret letters.

works with the supervisor to establish a potential start date and prepares
a formal offer letter for the candidate.

MEMORANDUM
Finance, Administration and Human Resources Committee
Michael D. White, Controller
SUBJECT: Responses to Internal Audit Report Issued on May 8, 2004
In February 2004, the Finance, Administration and Human Resources (FAHR)
committee appointed Moss, Levy, & Hartzheim to serve as the District's contracted
internal auditors for FY 2003-04. At the May 8, 2004 FAHR meeting, the auditors
presented their second report to the committee on findings, potential effects and related
recommendations from their work performed during April 2004.
In order to remain independent of staff, the auditors presented their written report
directly to the committee without previously providing staff with a copy. At the May
FAHR meeting, the committee directed staff to provide a written response to the
auditors report. Below is a listing of the auditors findings contained within their May 8,
2004 report along with staff responses.
A. Voided Checks
Finding -Signature Portion of Voided Checks:
During our review of voided checks, we noted that the signature portions of the voided
checks are not removed.
Effect:
There is a possibility that the voided checks could be used if the signature portion is not
removed.
Recommendation:
All voided checks should be properly defaced and the signature portion removed.

Book page 45
Response to Contracted Internal Auditors Report of May 8, 2004
July 14, 2004
Page 2 of 7
Staff Response:
Staff is in agreement with the recommendation. Our policy and practice is to deface all
voided checks. After receiving the auditors' report, staff reviewed every voided check in
the file and found that most had the signature portion removed but all had been properly
defaced so that no bank would honor them if they had been presented. The signature
portion has now been removed from all voided checks and staff will make a concerted
effort to ensure that all future voided checks are defaced in this manner.
B. Cell Phone Invoices
Finding -Cell Phone Invoices:
During our test of cell phone invoices, we noted that one employee had only marked
outgoing calls as personal, was over his base minutes by $89.10, and reimbursed the
District only $10.
Effect:
Employees could be receiving personal calls and not reimbursing the District for them.
Recommendation:
Better monitoring of incoming calls or a change in the cell phone policy to allow for a
certain number of incoming calls per month.
Staff Response:
CeH phones are provided to employees in order to more effectively accomplish OCSD
business, as authorized by HR Policy E80.00, Cellular Telephone. The program
provides for approved personal use of cell phones and includes provisions on
reimbursement to OCSD for personal phone calls. This provision allows employees who
utilize a personal cell phone to have just one phone rather than maintaining a second
phone for personal use.
The finding by the auditors occurred under the previous rate plan the District had with
AT&T. Under this plan, each phone had a separate number of "any time" minutes with
the requirement that personal phone calls be reimbursed to the District.
In February 2004, the District implemented a new program with regard to the
procurement and use of cell phones. This new program, established through Cingular,
changed the way the District administers business service and personal use plans, and
the overall cellular billing structure resulted in significant cost savings to the
organization.
Bookpage46
Response to Contracted Internal Auditors Report of May 8, 2004
July 14, 2004
Page 3 of 7
The District switched from individual plans to a "pooled minutes" plan. The pooled
minutes are for official business use ONLY. Under the "pooled minute plan", the
Information Technology Department monitors the total minutes used and the minutes
used by each individual District employee in order to control costs. However, total base
minutes are billed by Cingular to the agency as a whole and not allocated to individual
users.
If an employee elects to use the OCSD issued cell phone for personal use, they must
elect and authorize (through a payroll deduction) the purchase of optional personal
coverage, including one or more of the following options:
• $10.00 per month for 215 minutes (includes free long distance) from home area.
• $10.00 per month for Unlimited Nights and Weekends (includes free long
distance) from home area.
• $5.00 per month for 5,000 cell-to-cell minutes (only for calling Cingular cell
phones) from home area.
Note that these are the actual costs that OCSD pays for these services and an
employee who elected all of these services would pay $25 per month.
The Information Technology Department monitors the monthly cellular bill to ensure that
there are no apparent abuses by any individual assigned a cell phone and that
employees, through payroll deductions, are paying for the personal use of the cell
phone. Managers and Supervisors are expected to minimize the personal use of cell
phones during working hours.
C. Retentions
Finding -Reduction of Retentions:
During our review of internal controls, we noted that the District can reduce construction
retentions to 5% after 50% of the project is complete.
Effect:
This could expose the District to a liability if the construction is not completed on time or
is not up to the specifications of the District. This also reduces the amount of "penalty''
the Contractor would face for nonperformance.
Recommendation:
The District should always retain 10% of construction contracts until the Notice of
Completion has been filed and accepted by the Board of Directors.
Book page 47
Response to Contracted Internal Auditors Report of May 8, 2004
July 14, 2004
Page 4 of 7
Staff Response:
As the auditors noted, the reduction of retained amounts is permissible, but there is no
legal requirement to reduce the construction retentions below 10%. However, there
have been intangible benefits obtained from certain contractors when retentions have
been reduced and no issues or problems have ever occurred from a contractor as a
result of lowering the retention from 10% to 5%.
In most cases, the retention was not reduced until well after 50% completion.
Experience shows that when the contractor knows that there is a practice of lowering
the retention as the project draws near to completion, they are more inclined to perform
at the highest level in order for them to be able to receive these funds. It makes good
business sense to work with contractors and to be allowed the flexibility on a case-by-
case basis to lower retention requirements. Staff also believes that more advantageous
construction bids are received when the contractor is aware of the District's practice of
lowering retentions upon showing good faith in performance.
D. Construction Management
Finding #01 -Financial Statements of IPMC:
During our review of the construction management contract with IPMC, we noted that
the District did not receive a financial statement of I PMC.
Effect:
Risk of non-performance of the contract and inability of the District to collect any
damages or cost overruns if IPMC were to cease operating.
Recommendation:
The District should always request and analyze financial statements of contractors that
the District is entering into long-term contracts with.
Staff Response:
Integrated Program Management Consultants (IPMC), a joint venture of Parsons
Infrastructure & Technology Group, Inc. and CH2M Hill, Inc., was required to provide us
with the number of employees (22,000), annual revenue ($4 billion), and past and
current clients for references. Additional research by staff determined that the parent
companies were ranked by Engineering News Record in 2004 as the No. 6 and No. 7
design firms in the world, respectively, based on revenue generated. They were also
required to provide insurance coverage of $1 million for Errors & Omissions, $2 million
for general liability, and $1 million for workers' compensation.
Bookpage48
Response to Contracted Internal Auditors Report of May 8, 2004
July 14, 2004
Page 5 of 7
Although the District does not require bidders to provide financial statements for the
purpose of ascertaining financial condition, the District does require performance bonds
on construction bids and errors and omission insurance on professional service
contracts.
Finding #D2 -Monthly Invoices of IPMC:
During our review of the construction management contract with IPMC, we noted that
IPMC submits a monthly invoice to the District with a category of "Other Direct Costs",
which includes travel, transportation, lodging, and meals.
Effect:
IPMC could pass through costs not related to the District, without proper monitoring by
the District.
Recommendation:
The District should carefully review the "Other Direct Costs" submitted by IPMC for
reasonableness according to the contract between the District and IPMC.
Staff Response:
The District requires supporting documentation from all vendors for each item that is
over $25 as listed on the invoice including travel, transportation, lodging, and meals. All
supporting documentation for each item on the IPMC invoices greater than $25 had
previously been obtained and carefully reviewed by staff. This is our standard practice.
E. Fixed Assets
Finding #E1 -Fixed Assets Not Removed From Fixed Asset Listing:
During our test of fixed assets, we noted that eight assets sold in 2001 were not
removed from the fixed asset system until 2003, and two assets sold in February 2003
were not removed until October 2003.
Effect:
Overstatement of fixed assets that were not fully depreciated, could occur.
Overpayment of insurance premiums could also occur if the District uses the fixed asset
list to set its insurance coverage limits.
Bookpage49
Response to Contracted Internal Auditors Report of May 8, 2004
July 14, 2004
Page 6 of 7
Recommendation:
The Fixed Asset Accountant should remove fixed assets sold at auction immediately
upon receipt of sale agreement from the auction house.
Staff Response:
Staff concurs with the auditors' finding and, prior to their discovery, staff had already
identified this issue and had worked diligently to bring our business process up to date.
The delay was due to the fixed asset computer system conversion coupled with the
turnover of the fixed asset accountant position. At the time of the auditors' finding, all
property disposals received had been reviewed and processed. There currently is no
back log in the removal of fixed assets that have been sold or scrapped.
Finding #E2 -Missing Sales Remittances from Auction Houses:
During our test of fixed assets, we noted that eight fixed assets were sold, but there
were no sales remittance or sales advices from the auction house on file.
Effect:
Without proper documentation, improper sales of fixed assets or misappropriations of
funds could occur.
Recommendation:
We recommend that the District require auction houses to remit a sales remittance or
sales advice upon sale of fixed assets.
Staffs Response:
As noted in the response to "Finding #E1", some fixed asset deletions were not
completed in a timely manner primarily due to the fixed asset computer conversion and
staff turnover within the fixed asset section. When the concerted effort was made over
this past year to update the fixed assets listing for fixed asset deletions, every effort was
made to find the appropriate documents and match them with the disposal sheets.
Most of those documents were found and matched. A few were not as noted by the
internal auditors. All disposals and required documentation are now kept current.
Book page 50
Response to Contracted Internal Auditors Report of May 8, 2004
July 14, 2004
Page 7 of 7
F. Debit/Credit Memos
Finding -Pre-numbered Debt/Credit Memos:
During our review of internal control, we noted that debit memos and credit memos are
not pre-numbered.
Effect:
Since debit memos and credit memos are printed off the computer with no pre-printed
number, there is no way to track the documents. Therefore, unauthorized use of the
documents could occur.
Recommendation:
Press printed pre-numbered debit memos and credit memos should be used.
Staff Response
Although debit and credit memos are not printed onto pre-preprinted, numbered stock,
all debit and credit memos are accounted for. The numbers for the debit and credit
memos are assigned in numerical order by the computer system, and all debit and
credit memos are filed by staff in numerical sequence. Whenever a debit or credit
memo is prepared, the approver reviews the printed number and verifies that it is the
next number in the sequence. Staff believes that using pre-printed, numbered stock
would be an additional cost to the District without providing any additional internal
control.

SUBJECT: RENEWAL OF CONTRACTED INTERNAL AUDITING SERVICES WITH
MOSS, LEVY & HARTZHEIM FOR FISCAL YEAR 2004-05
GENERAL MANAGER'S RECOMMENDATION
Approve Change Order No. 1 to Purchase Order No. 43620 issued to Moss, Levy &
Hartzheim as the District's contracted internal auditors for fiscal year 2004-05, for an
amount not to exceed $19,260.
SUMMARY
At the direction of the Committee, staff solicited a request for proposal (RFP) to provide
300 hours of Internal Auditing Services for fiscal year 2003-04, with the option of
auditing the following two years at the Committee's discretion. Moss, Levy & Hartzheim
was the firm selected to perform internal auditing services in fiscal year 2003-04 at a
total cost not to exceed $19,780.
Moss, Levy & Hartzheim's has now submitted a proposal to perform internal auditing
services for fiscal year 2004-05. Since their last proposal was low bid and their new
proposal is even lower, staff does not believe any significant cost savings could be
achieved by opening up the bid process. If the Committee has been satisfied with the
quality and timeliness of the work performed by Moss, Levy & Hartzheim, it would be
appropriate now to app~ove the second year option.
PRIOR COMMITTEE/BOARD ACTIONS
In February 2004, Moss, Levy & Hartzheim was selected to service as the District's
contracted internal auditors through June 30, 2004.
PROJECT/CONTRACT COST SUMMARY
Although not the primary consideration at the time, Moss, Levy & Hartzheim was the
lowest all-inclusive maximum price on 300 hours of internal auditing services for fiscal
year 2003-04, as follows:

SUBJECT: ANNUAL REVIEW AND ADOPTION OF THE DISTRICT'S INVESTMENT
POLICY STATEMENT AND DELEGATION OF INVESTMENT
AUTHORITY TO THE DIRECTOR OF FINANCE/TREASURER
GENERAL MANAGER'S RECOMMENDATION
Adopt Resolution No. OCSD 04-XX, Authorizing the District's Treasurer to Invest and/or

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Background
The Investment Policy governs the investment activities of Pacific Investment
Management Company (PIMCO), the District's external money manager, on behalf of
the District. On May 28, 1999, the District's Investment Policy Statement received the
Investment Policy Certification of Excellence Award from the Municipal Treasurer's
Association of the United States and Canada. A copy of the letter of certification is
included each year in the annual Investment Policy document. The District received its
first Award of Excellence for the Investment Policy Statement in December 1996. MTA
recommends re-certification only when an investment policy statement undergoes major
revisions.
The Investment Policy document itself consists of the Investment Policy Statement and
the following eight appendices:
A. Summary of Investment Authorization
8. Treasury Management Procedures
C. Investment Manager Certification
D. Investment Pool Questionnaire (LAIF)
E. Board Resolution No. OCSD-03-17
F. Sample Monthly & Quarterly Investment Program Monitoring Reports
G. Sections of the California Government Code Pertinent to Investing Public
Funds
H. Glossary of Investment Terms
This document will be updated and delivered to FAHR Committee members following
the adoption of the District's investment policy statement.
Annual Review of Investment Policy
The Investment Policy includes the requirement that the District shall review its
Investment Policy annually (Sections 1.2 and 16.1 ). Likewise, Section 53646 of the
California Government Code (the "Code") requires local agencies to review their
investment policy annually, and readopt their policy at a public meeting.
This staff report presents the annual review of the District's Investment Policy Statement
to the FAHR Committee for consideration in the Committee's capacity as the oversight
committee for the District's investment program (Section 16.2). With adoption of the
H:ldept\agenda\FAHR\FAHR2004\0704\04-68.Annual Investment Policy Update.doc
Revised: 06/04/03
Bookpage59
Page2
attached Resolution, the Board of Directors would re-adopt the District's current
Investment Policy Statement, portfolio performance benchmarks, and monitoring and
reporting requirements.
The District's Investment Policy Statement is recommended for adoption for FY 2004-05 with
three clarification changes from FY 2003-04. The first change, underlined on page 6,
Section 8.6, clarifies that notes, bonds, and other obligations are permissible
investments, as allowed within the California Government Code and as authorized by
Board Minute Order dated January 22, 1997 authorizing the District's external money
managers, PIMCO, to purchase securities with a stated maturity of more than five (5)
years from the date of purchase. The second change is also underlined on page 6,
within Section 8.5 and Section 8.6, increasing the combined total of investments in
medium term notes and long term notes to 35 percent from 30 percent. This change is
recommended by Callan & Associates, the District's investment advisor because this is
the distribution weight used in the District's benchmark index, the Merrill Lynch
Government and Corporate One to Five Year Maturity Index. The third, and last
change, is underlined on page 11, Section 12.2 allowing PIMCO to purchase individual
securities for the Long Term Operating Monies portfolio that are permitted by the policy
with a stated maturity of more than five (5) years as long as the investment meets the
investment objectives of the portfolio and does not exceed the maximum average
duration requirement for all securities within the Long Term Operating Monies portfolio,
now requested to be set at five (5) years or less.
As previously described in staff's presentation at the time of the original change,
January 27, 1997, duration is a better measure of risk than final maturity. Further, the
Board believed that the investment manager was in a position to manage the portfolio
with an overall duration target through the use of both shorter and longer dated
securities, or in other words, the duration of the total portfolio was the key, and the
combination of individual securities should be delegated to PIMCO.
There have been no legislative revisions to the State Government Code since the
adoption of the FY 2003-04 Investment Policy. However, staff will continue to monitor
pending legislative and regulatory proposals in the public finance area for their potential
impact on the District's existing financial programs.
Annual Delegation of Investment Authority
Effective January 1 , 1997, Section 53607 of the Code states that governing boards of
local agencies may only delegate authority to invest and/or reinvest agency funds to the
agency's Treasurer for a one-year period.
With adoption of the attached Resolution, the Board of Directors would renew its
delegation of investment authority to the Director of Finance/Treasurer for a one-year
period in compliance with the requirements of Section 53607. Each year, the Board of
Directors will consider similar actions along with the annual reconsideration of the
District's Investment Policy.

ORANGE COUNTY SANITATION DISTRICT
INVESTMENT POLICY STATEMENT
It is the policy of the Orange County Sanitation District (OCSD) to invest public funds in a
manner which ensures the safety and preservation of capital while meeting reasonably
anticipated operating expenditure needs, achieving a reasonable rate of return and
conforming to all state and local statutes governing the investment of public funds.
1.1. This Investment Policy is set forth by OCSD for the following purposes:
1 .1 .1. To establish a clear understanding for the Board of Directors,
OCSD management, responsible employees and third parties of the
objectives, policies and guidelines for the investment of the OCSD's idle and
surplus funds.
1.1.2. To offer guidance to investment staff and any external investment
advisors on the investment of OCSD funds (see Appendix "A").
1.1.3. To establish a basis for evaluating investment results.
1 .2. OCSD establishes investment policies which meet its current investment
goals. OCSD shall review this policy annually, and may change its policies
as its investment objectives change.
2.0 Scope:
This Investment Policy applies to all financial assets of OCSD; except for the proceeds of
OCSD's capital projects financing program, which are invested in accordance with
provisions of their specific bond indentures; and such other funds excluded by law or other
Board-approved covenant or agreement.
These funds are accounted for by OCSD as Enterprise Funds as represented in OCSD's
Comprehensive Annual Financial Report.
3.0 Standard of Prudence:
The standard of prudence to be used by OCSD internal staff, and any authorized
investment advisor(s), shall be as described in Section 53600.3 of the California
Government Code as follows: Except as provided in subdivision (a) of Section
27000.3, all governing bodies of local agencies or persons authorized to make
investment decisions on behalf of those local agencies investing public funds
pursuant to this chapter are trustees and therefore fiduciaries subject to the
prudent investor standard. When investing, reinvesting, purchasing, acquiring,
exchanging, selling, or managing public funds, a trustee shall act with care, skill,
Page 1 of 14
Book page 64
prudence, and diligence under the circumstances then prevailing, including, but not
limited to, the general economic conditions and the anticipated needs of the agency,
that a prudent person acting in a like capacity and familiarity with those matters
would use in the conduct of funds of a like character and with like aims, to
safeguard the principal and maintain the liquidity needs of the agency. Within the
limitations of this section and considering individual investments as part of an
overall strategy, investments may be acquired as authorized by law.
4.0 Investment Obiectives:
The primary objectives of OCSDs investment activities, in priority order, and as described
in Section 53600.5 of the California Government Code, shall be:
4.1 Safety: The safety and preservation of principal is the foremost objective of
the investment program of OCSD. Investments shall be selected in a
manner that seeks to ensure the preservation of capital in OCSD's overall
portfolio. This will be accomplished through a program of diversification,
more fully described in Section 11.0, and maturity limitations, more fully
described in Section 12.0, in order that potential losses on individual
securities do not exceed the income generated from the remainder of the
portfolio.
4.2 Liquidity: The investment program will be administered in a manner that will
ensure that sufficient funds are available for OCSD to meet its reasonably
anticipated operating expenditure needs.
4.3 Return on Investments: The OCSD investment portfolio will be structured
and managed with the objective of achieving a rate of return throughout
budgetary and economic cycles, commensurate with legal, safety, and
liquidity considerations.
5.0 Delegation of Authority:
5.1 Authority to manage OCSD's investment program is derived from the
California Government Code Sections 53600 et seq. and Sections 53635 et
seq. The Board of Directors hereby delegates management responsibility
for the OCSD investment program to it's Director of Finance/ Treasurer, who
shall establish written procedures for the operation of the investment
program, consistent with this Policy. The Controller/Assistant Treasurer shall
be responsible for day-to-day administration, monitoring, and the
development of written administrative procedures for the operation of the
investment program consistent with this Policy. The current treasury
management procedures are presented in Appendix "B ." No person may
engage in an investment transaction except as provided under the terms of
this Policy and the procedures established by the Treasurer. The Treasurer
shall be responsible for all transactions undertaken by OCSD internal staff,
and shall establish a system of controls to regulate the activities of internal
Page 2 of 14
Book page 65

5.3.
5.2 The administrative procedures for the operation of OCSD's investment

objectives. Such external investment advisors, which shall be selected
through a competitive process, shall be granted discretion to purchase and
sell investment securities in accordance with this Investment Policy. Such
advisors must be registered under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, or
be exempt from such registration.
6.0 Ethics and Conflicts of Interest:
6.1 Officers and employees of OCSD involved in the investment process shall
refrain from personal business activities that could conflict with proper
execution of OCSD's investment program, or which could impair their ability
to make impartial investment decisions. Employees and investment officials

financial institutions that conduct business within OCSD's boundaries, and
they shall further disclose any large personal financial/investment positions,
the performance of which could be related to the performance of positions in
OCSD's portfolio.

Book page 66
will maintain a list of financial institutions authorized to provide investment
services to OCSD, including "primary" or regional dealers that qualify under
Securities and Exchange Commission Rule 15C3-1 (Uniform Net Capital

OCSD and any external investment advisors, and shall be in substantially the
following form:
Use of Securities Brokers: Neither the Investment Advisor nor any parent,
subsidiary or related firm shall act as a securities broker with respect to any
purchases or sales of securities which may be made on behalf of OCSD,
provided that this limitation shall not prevent the Investment Advisor from
utilizing the services of a securities broker which is a parent, subsidiary or
related firm, provided such broker effects transactions on a "cost only" or
"nonprofit" basis to itself and provides competitive execution. The
Investment Advisor shall provide the Districts with a list of suitable
independent brokerage firms (including names and addresses) meeting the
requirements of Government Code Section 53601.5, and, unless otheiwise
directed by OCSD, the Investment Advisor may utilize the service of any of
such independent securities brokerage firms it deems appropriate to the
extent that such firms are competitive with respect to price of services and
execution.

FROM: Blake P. Anderson, General Manager

SUBJECT: 2004-05 SEWER SERVICE USER FEES FOR PERMIT USERS
GENERAL MANAGER'S RECOMMENDATION
Recommend to the Board of Directors to adopt Ordinance No. OCSD-24, Adopting
Revised Table G re Permittee Charges for Use and Reaffirming All Other Charges, an
Ordinance of the Board of Directors of Orange County Sanitation District, Establishing
Sanitary Sewer Service Charges; Establishing Capital Facilities Capacity Charges;
Adopting Miscellaneous Charges and Fees Relating to Industrial Chargers, Source
Control Permittees and Wastehaulers; and Repealing Ordinance No. OCSD 22.
SUMMARY
Since the inception of the Permit User Fee program in 1970, users of the District's
system that discharge high volumes or high strength wastewater have been required to
obtain a discharge permit (either a Class I or Class II) and to pay extra fees for the cost
of service. The fees are initially calculated based on the flow, BOD and SS of the user.
That calculated fee is reduced by the property tax paid by the user to the District.
Certain changes in the property tax program in California and the calculation of the
Permit User rates have caused staff to re-evaluate this program and our practices.
There are approximately 500 Permit Users that pay for sewer services based upon their
actual flow, BOD and SS. The individual user rates for each of these parameters has
been calculated for the past few years based upon net revenue requirements for O&M
and the CIP, after subtracting other projected revenues, including property taxes, from
our total annual revenue and spending requirements. Staff believes that it is necessary
to either discontinue allowing the tax credit to Permit Users or to modify the computation
of the rates for flow, BOD and SS.
Staff recommends changing the computation of the individual rates so that they are
calculated prior to subtracting property tax revenue, and to continue the practice of
allowing each Permit User credit for its actual property tax payment during the billing
process. This change will result in higher rates for flow, BOD and SS than have been
adopted for 2004-05 as the total District funding needs used in the calculation will
increase by $28 million (the amount of the property tax subtraction in the calculation).
Permit Users will again be paying for the cost to provide their service based upon actual
use and will be given a credit, or rate reduction for their actual property tax payments up
to the calculated annual fee.

This action is proposed as an urgency Ordinance so that the rates may be effective for
2004-05.

ALTERNATIVES
The attached staff report includes discussion of alternatives including no change and
eliminating the credit for property taxes. Another alternative could be to use the rates
already adopted for 2004-05 and to change the rate calculation methodology for
2005-06. Such a delay would avoid the urgency Ordinance but would also continue the
practice of reducing individual Permit User calculated fees by property taxes that had
already reduced the rates for flow, BOD and SS.

Staff Report
Property Taxes and Sewer User Fees
Since the inception of the Permit User Fee program in 1970, the Permit Users
have been granted a credit against their calculated fees based upon flow, BOD
and SS for the property taxes they have paid to the District. Certain changes in
the property tax program in California and the calculation of the Permit User rates
have caused staff to re-evaluate this program and our practices. A change in
practice is recommended.
Property Taxes
Property taxes are levied pursuant to the State Constitution and are based solely
upon assessed property values. Property taxes are collected from all properties,
developed or not, connected to sewers or not. Property taxes are intended to be
used for the benefit of the local area.
Property taxes received by the County are apportioned pro rata to various public
agencies based upon a statutory formula adopted following the passage of
Proposition 13 in 1978. Property taxes received by the OCSD are currently used
entirely to repay outstanding debt and interest; they are not used for operations
and maintenance.
OCSD receives a small share of the annual "1 % basic levy" property tax
collected within our service area. For every $100 collected, the District receives
approximately $2.50. OCSD does not set property tax rates, collect property
taxes or control the allocation or apportionment of property taxes. It is important
to keep in mind that the State can change the allocation at any time.
User Fees
Property taxes are included as one of the sources of funds received in the annual
OCSD budget. As such they are considered, along with interest income,
connection fees and other revenues when annual sewer service user fees are
calculated and established. Thus, user fee rates which were established to
provide sufficient revenues to cover the cost of service including O&M, CIP and
debt service have actually been reduced by anticipated property tax and other
revenues. These reduced rates produce revenues that by themselves do not
recover the full cost of service.

Book page 84
Property Taxes and Sewer User Fees
Page 2 of 5
July 14, 2004
These reduced user fee rates are used as the basis to compute the annual rates
for Permit Users. When multiplied by the actual flow, BOD and SS discharge for
each user, they result in a total charge for the net cost of service, already
reduced by property taxes, interest income, connection fees and other revenues.
Presumably if all users were charged according to this method and using these
net rates, the total of all the calculated fees plus property taxes, interest,
connection fees and other revenues would equal the annual cash requirements
for O&M, CIP and debt service.
Of course it is not that simple. For one thing, the annual cash requirement
budget is not completely funded by annual revenues. Most years there are either
draws on accumulated funds or new borrowing. For example, the net rate
calculated for a SFR in 2003-04 using the above method was $152.69, but the
actual adopted rate was only $100.00. This reduction was possible because
$280 million of new debt was issued during the year. By extension, then if all
users had been billed using the net rates that have been reduced even further by
allowing for new borrowing or use of "savings" or reserves, then the total
calculated revenues would have been only 2/3 of the actual total requirements.
Permit User Credits
There are approximately 500 Permit Users that pay for sewer services based
upon their actual discharge of flow, BOD and SS. Ordinance OCSD-01 requires
that Permit Users be provided a credit for the property tax and sewer service
user fees that are paid to the District and collected as a separate line item on the
property tax bill. This has been a feature of the Permit User program from the
beginning and was intended to ensure that the total of all fees and taxes received
from the Permit User does not exceed the actual cost of service.
The original Permit User rates for flow, BOD and SS were adopted in 1970, prior
to the implementation of sewer service user fees collected on the tax bill and
prior to the change in property tax rate calculation and allocation caused by
Proposition 13. It was appropriate at the outset to assure Permit Users that they
were not paying twice for the same service; once as property tax and again as a
Permit User fee . These original Permit User rates were based upon the full cost
of treatment and were not reduced by property taxes or other revenues. That
reduction came as a part of each Permit User's annual fee reconciliation.
As general sewer service user fees began to be collected as a separate line item
on the property tax bills in 1982, these rates were established at rates that would
allow the District to collect sufficient revenues to meet the net O&M, capital and
debt service requirements remaining after all other sources of revenue. This
means that property tax revenues have already reduced the General User rates
Book page 85
Property Taxes and Sewer User Fees
Page 3 of 5
July 14, 2004
and total revenues. These rates were computed differently from the Permit User
rates that began in 1970.
In 1999, subsequent to the Strategic Plan and the Rate Advisory Committee
work, the General User fee rates were restructured. They were still based upon
collecting revenues to cover our net requirements. As a part of the new rate
adoption, the Permit User fee rates were tied to and based upon the General
User rates. This connecting of the rates resulted in lower Permit User rates as
these were no longer based upon total costs, but upon net requirements. The
language in Ordinance OCSD-01 that provides for credit for property taxes paid
by Permit Users was not changed at that time and remains in place today.
The Issue
All of these changes have put us in the position of allowing the Permit User two
credits for property taxes. The first credit is included in the Permit User rate
calculation; these rates will only raise the revenues needed to meet total
requirements less property taxes and other revenues. The second credit comes
during the annual Permit User fee calculation process when the actual property
taxes paid by the individual Permit User are subtracted from the total calculated
fees for actual flow, BOD and TSS for the year.
This issue is the result of OCSD attempting to combine charges based solely
upon property value with charges based upon use.
Options
1) Discontinue Property Tax Credit: Continue with the current method of
calculating Permit User rates based upon net requirements and based upon the
residential sewer service fee collected on the property tax bill, but discontinue the
practice of reducing the calculated Permit User total annual fee by that User's
property tax payments. This method retains the features of the State and County
property tax allocation and appropriation based upon property value and
authorized by the State Constitution. However, since property taxes are a
function of property values, they are affected by recent property purchases and
sales. This option could result in a Permit User with very high property taxes
based upon value and a high Permit User fee based upon use paying
considerably more than it pays today as well as more than the cost of sewer
service and debt service. This option seems to favor older businesses at the
expense of new businesses in the service area. This method would also require
a change to Ordinance OCSD-01 .
2) Calculate Rates Before Tax Revenues: Change the method of calculating
the Permit User rates for flow, BOD and SS so that no reduction is made for total
anticipated property taxes. This would result in rates that more closely reflect the
Book page 86
Property Taxes and Sewer User Fees
Page 4 of 5
July 14, 2004
cost of providing service. New borrowing, use of reserves and interest income
would still keep these rates below the actual cost of service. These rates would
be about one-third greater than current rates. This would allow us to continue
the current practice of providing an offset to the calculated Permit User Fee for
the amount of the property taxes paid by that user without providing double credit
as we do today. No refunds would be made for property taxes that exceed the
calculated actual cost of service.
3) Refund '"Excess" Property Taxes: Change the method of calculating the
Permit User rates for flow, BOO and SS so that no reduction is made for total
anticipated property taxes, as above. Allow credit, and issue refunds, for all of
the property t axes that exceed the actual calculated Permit User charge. This
would put the Permit User on a pure fee for service basis. Since the current
rates are based upon net requirements, this would result in lower rates for Permit
Users than for other users. No other user receives a return of property taxes
when their fees are adjusted, even if they are not connected to the system. This
option creates the possibility for a user with no current discharge to receive a
100% property tax refund resulting in no property taxes being paid for the COP
service for facilities that are available to serve the property. This option could
also create some property owners paying less than the 1 % basic property tax
provided in the State Constitution. These seem to be undesirable results.
4) "Cost of Service" Rates with "Excess" Property Tax Refunds: Change
the way Permit User rates are calculated so that they recover the full cost of
collection, treatment and disposal and are not reduced by property taxes,
borrowing, use of reserves or by other revenues. There are options within this
option that might allow reduction tor some of the revenues, but not all of them.
This change would significantly increase the rates, but it could be accompanied
by a policy and practice change that would allow full credit for all property taxes
paid. This change and credit could be appropriate as the rates and resultant fees
would include the full cost of service and would not have been reduced by other
sources of funds. No refunds would be made for taxes that might exceed the
calculated cost of service.

incident of property ownership but are deemed to be a charge related solely to a
request for service. The statutory Ordinance adoption process, including a notice
to the affected Permit Users, would still be required. No changes are proposed
for residential rates.
The various options described and shown in the table above have been applied
to the actual quantities and property taxes of our Permit Users in 2002-03 in an
attempt to quantify their impact. Three attached schedules show the impact of
the various options in dollars to Permit Users with low, average and high property
tax allocations.
The second attachment is a listing of each of our Permit Users in 2002-03
showing their property tax allocations (reduced by the proposed 40% shift to the
State) and the combined calculated Permit User fee and property tax they would
have paid us under the existing rate calculation methodology and the proposed
methodology. While the actual discharge quantities and the rates for flow, BOD
and SS will change for 2004-05, the relative differences and the impact will be
consistent.
