EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR'S REPORT a. Compliance and Operational Status Report (ITEM F2a) First Quarter Report The Plant average flow for the fiscal year is 16.30 MGD. Of this flow, Delray's flow is 6.78 MGD accounting for 41.59% and Boynton Beach's flow is 9.52 MGD accounting for 58.41%. Two of our main operating parameters used to determine how effectively the Plant is operating are total Suspended Solids (TSS) and Carbonaceous Biological Oxygen Demand (CBOD) Our average TSS and CBOD were 0.53 and 1.02 mg /L. This constitutes a removal of over 99% of all (TSS) and a removal of over 99% of all (CBOD), well above the removal limits required (85 %) by the Board's FDEP Operating Permit. b. Florida Department of Environmental Protection Annual Compliance Inspection (ITEM F2b) The Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) and the Palm Beach County Health Department conducted a compliance evaluation inspection of the South Central Regional Wastewater Treatment and Disposal Board facility site on Monday, October 7, 2013 to assure compliance with the State of Florida's federally approved National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Wastewater Permitting Program. As a result of the inspection, the facility site was found to be in compliance with our NPDES Operating Permit. c. Permit Renewal Application (ITEM F2c) The Board's Operating Permit was issued on July 28, 2009. The Operating Permit expires on July 27, 2014. We are required to apply for renewal of this permit at least 180 days before the expiration date of the permit. Board staff and Hazen and Sawyer worked in cooperation to compile the required historical performance information for the Capacity Analysis Report (CAR) and the Operation and Maintenance Performance Report (OMPR), portions of the permit renewal application. A draft copy of the complete permit renewal application package, including both the CAR and OMPR, was finalized on January 7, 2013 pending review and comments.

A draft copy of the Capacity Analysis Report is attached. It provides a historical look at the facility's past and present performance as well as a brief summary of the facility's operating processes. d. "B" Clarifier Rehabilitation Project (ITEM F2d) The Plant B Secondary Clarifier Rehabilitation project generally consists of the rehabilitation of the three existing Plant 8 secondary clarifiers, Plant B RAS pump station upgrades, construction of a sludge trailer washing station, Administration Building area paving and perimeter fence modifications, and Effluent Pump Station, Solids Handling Building and Administration Building electrical and instrumentation panel modifications. A progress construction meeting was held on December 17, 2013. As of the date of this meeting the project remains on schedule as outlined below: The Project Notice to Proceed date is July 1, 2013 The Contract Substantial Completion Date is August 25, 2014 The Contract Final Completion Date is September 24, 2014 The Awarded Contract Amount is $1,895,000. As of January 1, 2014, three applications for Payment in the total amount of $443, 646.00 have been processed; leaving the balance to finish, including retainage, at $1,451,354.00. e.

EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR'S REVIEW COMMITTEE REPORT (ITEM J1) a. Report of Executive Director's Committee 2. AUTHORIZATION TO APPROVE PURCHASE OF FIVE (5) RECLAIM FLOW MONITORING STATIONS IN THE AMOUNT OF $40,000. TO BE FUNDED FROM THE BOARD'S REPAIR AND REPLACEMENT ACCOUNT. (ITEM J2) in an effort to comply with the 2008 Ocean Outfall Elimination Law, a plan to eliminate ocean outfall disposal and to use this water resource to increase reclaim water usage, the Board has to maximize the amount of reclaim water available to Delray and Boynton Beach for their respective reclaim water programs. The Board's five (5) original golf course customer agreements must be modified. The original agreements do not allow for any reduction in daily allotments even during drought periods. The result of this is that the Board must maintain 6.65 MGD of reclaim water specifically for their use even though typical daily usage is roughly 3.3 MGD (or 50% of their allotments). In order for us to modify the agreements we must be able to accurately assess their daily usage. Installing these new meters will provide us with real time flow data that we can use to identify peak/off-peak flow periods and adjust the new contracts accordingly. K. PUBLIC AUDIENCE L.

Original optimal suggested staffing level was 28 employees. In 1991 staffing level was 32 full -time employees. ➢ In 2012/2013 we continued to operate close to the 1979 recommended minimum level of 21 employees. Even though we have doubled in size and added reclaim facilities and a deep injection well, we have been able to successfully operate with 22 full -time employees. ODOR CONTROL ➢ As always, we remain vigilant against odor and attempt to be the best neighbors possible. Pilot testing was performed to see if the addition of carbon to our current treatment system would help during peak odor times. CONSTRUCTION & EQUIPMENT REPLACEMENT ➢ The "B" plant clarifier rehabilitation project ($1,895,000) is underway. PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE ➢ All plant equipment is on a preventative maintenance schedule. The equipment is checked daily, weekly, monthly, etc., per the manufacturers' recommendation. REUSE ➢ Our average daily reclaimed flow from October 2012 through September 2013 was 5.60 MGD. This represents 33.73% of all incoming flows (16.60 MGD). The total reuse delivered for irrigation purposes for the year was 2.04 billion gallons.

SOUTH CENTRAL REGIONAL WASTEWATER TREATMENT AND DISPOSAL BOARD AUDIT > Schedule of findings and responses for Fiscal Year ended September 30, 2013 Section 1 — Prior Findings not implemented - There were none Section 2 — Current Year Findings and Recommendations - There were none. EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR'S ACCOMPLISHMENTS AND GOALS FROM THE PREVIOUS YEAR 1. Oversaw the Design and Bid process for our current "B" Plant Clarifier Rehabilitation Project. Project is currently on Schedule and Budget ($1,895,000). Estimated completion date is September 2014. 2 Started renegotiations of the Board's existing reclaim water agreements with the following golf courses: a. Country Club of Flonda b. Delray Dunes Country Club c. Hunters Run Country Club d. Pine Tree Country Club e. Quail Ridge Country Club 3. A detailed report due to the Florida Department of Environmental Protection in July 2013 was completed and made available to all Board members at the July 2013 meeting. I will continue to work with both Cities regarding expansion of the reuse system to ensure the Board stays on course to meet the 2025 legislation requiring the Board to reuse 60% of its water on an annual basis. 4. Finalized contract negotiations with the Solid Waste Authority of Palm Beach County relative to the sale of excess capacity the Board owns in the Biosolids Pelletization Facility. Proceeds from sale yielded a return to Delray Beach and Boynton Beach of approximately $1.0 Million each. 5. Continue to examine the potential impact to the Board with regards to the EPA's Numeric Nutrient Criteria Rule. 6. Started the renewal process to obtain the Board's FDEP Operating Permit. The last process took approximately five years to complete. EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR'S REQUEST > Discussion for 2014/2015. Page 4 of 4
