He clarified that mailings relative to the fee increase were not required to be done and were not done in order 67 Page 8 - Council/Agency Minutes - 06/16/97 to save over $300,000 in postage which could be used for the district. He stated that next year Proposition 218 will require mailings. Councilmember Garofalo questioned who proposed the report and was informed that the Orange County Sanitation District Financial Officer had prepared the report. Councilmember Garofalo stated that he would have assumed that this data would be verified by more than their Internal Auditor. Joint Board Director Collins spoke regarding the audit of the Board.
