• RESOLUTION OF THE CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH
SUPPORTING THE CONSOLIDATION OF THE
COUNTY SANITATION DISTRICTS OF ORANGE COUNTY
Whereas, the County Sanitation Districts of Orange County ( CSDOC) was
formed in 1947 to provide wastewater management services for cities and
residents of Orange County; and
Whereas, CSDOC provides sewage collection, treatment and disposal services
for approximately 2.24 million residents living in central and northwest
Orange County including the residents of Newport Beach; and
Whereas, CSDOC is currently organized as nine separate districts within the
service area and is overseen by nine independent governing Boards and one
joint governing board; and
Whereas, although the districts are governed separately, the management
and operation of CSDOC is functionally consolidated under one
administration; and
• Whereas, since 1995 CSDOC has studied the proposed consolidation of
CSDOC's nine districts; and
Whereas, based upon the results of a consolidation study, CSDOC has
concluded that the consolidation will result in direct and equitable
governance, increased effective and efficient operations and administration
and increased opportunities for regional benefit; and
Whereas, on February 26, 1997, the CSDOC joint governing board
unanimously approved a recommendation to seek consolidation of the nine
sanitation districts into one, and to initiate through legislation (AB 769) an
amendment to state law enabling the CSDOC to establish a governing board
consistent with its consolidation recommendation; and
Whereas, the consolidation would be reviewed and approved by the Local
Agency Formation Commission (LAFCO), the agency responsible for the
review and adoption of the local agency changes of organization and
reorganizations; and
Now, Therefore, Be It Resolved, that the City of Newport Beach supports the
consolidation of the County Sanitation Districts of Orange County as
recommended by the governing board of CSDOC.
Res 97 -32
Be It Further Resolved, that the City will forward a letter of support to
• members of the Orange County state legislative delegation expressing support
for AB 769 to allow the consolidation of CSDOC.
ADOPTED this 14th day of April 1997.
