REPORTS
1.
GENERAL MANAGER-CHIEF ENGINEER
a. Mr. Horstkotte presented to the Board a letter from Brown and
Caldwell regarding the proposal for reconnaissance level investigation
for an alternate source of organic carbon used in the denitrification
process.
When this proposal was originally presented, the Board had questioned
as to why the District should pay extra for this work. Brown and Caldwell
has now offered to do this work at no additional cost to the District.
b. Progress on the Treatment Plant construction is proceeding extremely
well. Panels are now being erected.
Phase II, which involved Bechtel, is going well.
has been placed in one cell of the clearwell.

c. Mr. Horstkotte reported to the Board that he had received a letter
from CIVIL ENGINEERING MAGAZINE concerning the "Conversion of Refuse to
Energy", First International Conference and Technical Exhibition to be held
in Montreux, Switzerland, November 3-5. Since Mr. Horstkotte's name was on
the program, and he is a member of the ASCE, they asked if he could cover
the meeting for CIVIL ENGINEERING. The story would be published in January,
1976, and the author credited.
Mr. Horstkotte mentioned that he would be leaving for Scotland on
October 27 to attend the "~.Jitness Test" and would, therefore, be able to
attend the conference in Montreux on the same trip with little additional
expense. He requested authorization for his expenses from Scotland to
Montreux from November 3-5, 1975.
It was moved by Member Gibbs, seconded by Member Rustigian, to
authorize expenses for G. A. Horstkotte, Jr., from Scotland to Montreux,
Switzerland, from November 3-5,1975. Motion carried by the following

d. Mr. Horstkotte stated that he had received a telephone call from
EPA, Cincinnati, Ohio, that within two weeks the District would have
official authorization to proceed with our research and development
program on solid waste. As soon as the District receives a letter from
EPA, Cincinnati, Mr. Horstkotte will approach the Board to accept the
EPA grant and proceed with the proto-type solid waste research and
development project.
2.
COUNSEL FOR THE DISTRICT
a. Mr. Bohn reported that the Writ of Mandate has been filed this
date against Contra Costa County rax Assessor's Office to obtain access
of their "Use Codes" for the purpose of establishing our sewer service
charges. Trial date has been set for November 12, 1975.
b. Mr. Bohn reported on the solid waste meeting. Since there was
going to be a vote on the draft on November 5, 1975, he took occasion
to go through the whole thing.
As far as the District is concerned, the only quarrel the County
has is what will happen when we have an excess of garbage. Mr. Bohn
feels that the 4A plan will be approved with some modifications. After
the solid waste plan is approved, we can proceed with the drafting of
a franchise agreement for the garbage collectors.

Resources Control Board with regard to the refusal of the application in our
behalf by PG&E for gas supply for our Treatment Plant Faciliti~s.
The letter will contain more supportive data and is being written in
order to obtain more support before the District appeals to the PUC for
a hearing.

COMMITTEES
a. Member Allan presented to Board Members and staff a draft on an
Affirmative Action Program which was drawn up by Mr. Bohn and himself
toward establishing an affirmative action policy for the District. This
is a portion of what is ultimately going to be required by the Federal
government. Member Allan pointed out that it is necessary that the
District appoint a Compliance Officer to supervise and direct this Affirma-
tive Action Program and suggested that Mr. William C. Dalton, Deputy
General Manager-Chief Engineer, be appointed to this position.
Mr. Bohn, Counsel for the District, stated that it should be understood
that the Draft that was prepared is a basic first step, and if this is
acceptable, then the District should proceed to add more details as time
goes on.
After discussion, it was the consensus of the Board to continue this
item.
It was then moved by Member Allan, seconded by Member Gibbs, that
Mr. William C. Dalton, Deputy General Manager-Chief Engineer, be appointed
Affirmative Action Compliance Officer representing the Central Contra Costa
Sanitary District.
RESOLUTION NO. 75-118, A RESOLUTION APPOINTING WILLIAM C. DALTON, DEPUTY
