ADDITIONAL BUSINESS ADDED BY SUPPLEMENTAL AGENDA None. VII I. REPORTS 1. GENERAL MANAGER-CHIEF ENGINEER a. Mr. Dolan summarized on District activity for the month of September. Engineering Department: (1) Substantial progress has been made on the 1001/" scale maps. (2) One of the major trunk sewer projects for 77- 78 (Oak Park Blvd.) is under contract, and the other (San Ramon Summit) will be ready for contract next month. (3) The connections for September 177 were lower than they were for the same period last year. Maintenance Department: (1) Stoppages are down from last year at this time. (2) Sewer footages cleaned in September were 172,0001 with 76,0001 done by the hydro-flush machines using reclaimed water. (3) T.V. inspected 28,000 ft. of new sewer lines. (4) The Maintenance Department is studying odor problems related to grease interceptors. Plant Operations Department: The Plant has been maintaining its operation during construction and the startup of new elements of the 5A~ Phase I construction in cooperation with the Contractor. New components which have been put into operation are in the sludge centrifuge system, auxiliary boilers, chlorination and dechlorination systems, main plant air and the radio-paging system. b. Mr. Dolan asked if the Board wished to comment on the ABAG Environmental Report which was given to the Board several meetings ago. Discussion followed. c. Mr. Dolan stated that correspondence has been received from Lee Saylor providing a draft plan of the cost estimate to bring in a new contractor to finish the Peterson-Simpson job. He has not had the opportunity to review the correspondence and will be reporting further to the Board on this matter. d. Mr. Dolan advised that the replacement for Mr. Charles Daniels, Civil Engineering Assistant II, who retired last September, can be brought in at the lower level, of Civil Engineering Assistant I. Staff will be coming back to the Board for authorization to establish an Eligibility List. e. In the Plant start-up, the chemical polymer we have found to be most effective in dewatering sludge, costs 20~ per lb. in 55 gal. drums. About 300 lbs. of polymer is required to generate one ton of dewatered sludge, which is costing the District approximately $1,400 per day. This polymer is available in tank car lots at a cost of approximately 16~ per lb., which will result in a savings of around $300 per day and a car will last about eleven days. We will not have to use this process for very long. 10 20 77 1156 f. Mr. Dolan stated that a letter has been received from Mr. Wasserman of Bechtel reiterating their position denying a State audit. Mr. Dolan intends to meet with the State and explain to them that our contract with Bechtel was entered into in 1971-72, at which time guidelines, now effective, were non-existent, and therefore, are not applicable to this contract. 2. COUNSEL FOR THE DISTRICT a. Mr. Carniato reviewed for the new Board Members the history of the Deferred Compensation Plan. We have now settled upon a plan, similar to that of the City of Santa Maria, which requires the employee to make a contribution directly from his salary to the plan before he is eligible to participate. This plan meets with the approval of IRS. After discussion, it was moved by Member Allan, seconded by Member Rustigian, that the CCCSD Employees Deferred Compensation Plan be adopted. Before voting on this issue, Board Members queried as to the consequences if it becomes mandatory that the employees participate in the social security system. Would the District then be liable for double contributions. Member Carlson stated that it should be written into the resolution that the District would not be liable for double contributions should social security become mandatory. Mr. Carniato stated that he would take this matter up with the Employees Committee and explain the Boardls concern. Members Allan and Rustigian withdrew their motion. b. Mr. Carniato requested that the Board reserve time for a short executive session at the November 3 meeting regarding the Peterson- Simpson claim. 3. SECRETARY None. 4. COMMITTEES Member Allan advised that he has had correspondence from Mike Dillon regarding PL 92-500, which is a bill negotiating changes to the Federal Water Pollution Control Act and also a measure which will require social security changes for all Federal, State and public employees. After discussion, President Boneysteele requested Mr. Dolan to draft a letter regarding social security stating that the Government Agencies were not included in the social security system because they had their own retirement plans. b. Mr. Dolan, General-Manager-Chief Engineer, read a letter drafted for President Boneysteele's signature which stated the District's support of PL 92-500, a bill which would allow public agencies to use ad-valorem taxes to defray operating and maintenance costs. Board instructed Mr. Dolan to send the same letter to Senator Edmund Muskie, Senator, Cranston, Senator Hayakawa and Congressman Miller. IX. MATTERS FROM THE FLOOR a. President Boneysteele advised that CASA has proposed three changes in its structure with regard to Board and Committees. b. President Boneysteele noted that Mr. Dolan, General Manager- Chief Engineerls initial six-months of employment were successfully completed. President Boneysteele requested a letter be drafted for his signature advising Mr. Dolan that he has successfully completed this period. 10 20 77 115J c.
