SANITARY SEWER MASTER PLAN
3.22 Adopt the City of Orange Sanitary Sewer Management Plan. (C2500.M)
SUMMARY: The Santa Ana Regional Water Quality Control Board promulgated Order
No. R8-2002-0014 in 2002, a General Waste Discharge requirement (WDR)
for sanitary sewer overflows. A main component of the WDR is the implementation ofaSanitarySewerManagement
Plan (SSMP).NOTE: Mayor pro tem Cavecche asked for a report back on the possibility ofaprogramshehasseeninanothercitywherebyresidentscanpayintoaprogram,
similar to Paramedic Subscriptions program, so that if a sewer problem occurs under a
City street,but is part of the sewer lateral that is the homeowner's responsibility, the
City will perform the work rather than have the homeowner contract with
a plumber.ACTION: 1) Adopted the Sanitary Sewer Management Plan in the form presented
by the Public Works Director; and 2) Authorized and direct the Public Works Director
to do any and all things and to execute and deliver any and alldocuments (including amendments or modifications to the Sanitary Sewer Management Plan)
which are deemed necessary or advisable in order to carry out, give effect to and comply
with the terms and intent of California Regional Water Quality Control Board, SantaAnaRegionOrder
No. R8-2002-0014.FISCAL IMPACT: The programs outlined in the City
of Orange Sanitary Sewer Management Plan are budgeted in various areas of the 220
Fund in the Sanitation Services budget (5022), including salaries, equipment, training, materials, supplies,contractual services, and other professional services. The
total budgeted amount for maintenance and operation of the City's Sanitary Sewer Collection

REMOVED AND HEARD SEPARATELY)Request to modify the minimum thresholds in
the Residential Neighborhood Traffic Management Program (RNTMP) for the installation of speed
humps. (S4000.S.3)SUMMARY: This will fine tune the speed hump thresholds in
the RNTMP to ensure that speed humps are installed only on residential
streets experiencing excessive speed.Discussion - Councilmember Ambriz requested staff to review the
details of this program; and asked for details on the speed hump test on Heim Avenue andwhysomeofthenearbyresidentshadcomplained
about speed
CITY COUNCIL MINUTES October 11, 2005
3. CONSENT CALENDAR (Continued)
Traffic Engineer, Tom Mahood explained that this item was needed to fine tune the
Traffic Management program. He explained the original threshold for consideration of
speed humps was just speed, but that the Traffic Commission is recommending that
traffic volumes also be included in the formula. The installation of humps on Heim cost
approximately $12,000 and are being tested for about three to four months. It will run
approximately $1500 to $2000 to remove them if it is determined that they are not
needed. He explained only residents on Heim were notified of the speed hump test;
however, there are cuI-dc-sac streets that take access off Heim, and those
residents were
not notified.In response to questions by Councilmember Dumitru, he explained that staff
conducted a test of the traffic before the humps were installed and will conduct a test after
they have been in for a few months. This test includes both volume of traffic
and speed measurements. He further explained that typically the study will show that
the traffic slows, but the volume does
not change.Mayor pro tem Cavecche clarified this study on Heim is being done primarily
for a reduction in speed, and not to shift the traffic volume; and asked for more clarified
on
the thresholds.Mr. Mahood explained the current thresholds are probably too low, that too
many streets would probably qualify for speed humps; but that Heim could still qualify
for
speed humps.In response to Mayor Murphy, Mr. Mahood explained that under State law, the
City has to set speed limits based on the 85th percentile - what 85 percent of the traffic actually
is.Tickets would not hold up in court if the limits were set below that 85th
percentile.Mayor Murphy stated it seems reasonable to get opinions from residents who travel on
a particular street if that is the only route to their
home.Mayor pro tem Cavecche pointed out that the people who actually live on the street
are impacted more than anyone
else.The City Manager pointed out that Fire and Police are consulted on all speed
hump
Issues.Councilmember Ambriz suggested a continuance to meet with staff for
further
information.PAGE
