OF THE DISTRICT BOARD OF THE
CENTRAL CONTRA COSTA SANITARY DISTRICT
HELD ON JANUARY 7, 1 993
The District Board of the Central Contra Costa Sanitary District convened in a regular
meeting at its regular place of meeting, 5019 Imhoff Place, Martinez, County of Contra
Costa, State of California, at 3 p.m. on January 7, 1993.
President Clausen called the meeting to order and requested that the Secretary call roll.

2. PUBLIC COMMENTS
Mr. Gary Gallaher, of Orinda, addressed the Board concerning the refuse collection rate
increase requested by Orinda-Moraga Disposal Service, Inc. and the request to eliminate
one of the seasonal cleanups. Mr. Gallaher asked that the Board deny the request of
Orinda-Moraga Disposal to eliminate one seasonal cleanup per year since the savings per
customer would be minimal.
President Clausen stated that the Board is looking for ways to save money and one of the
areas identified was elimination of one seasonal cleanup. The current frequency of three
seasonal cleanups would be reduced to two seasonal cleanups of the same total volume
previously allowed for three. President Clausen stated that the consensus of the Board
was to eliminate one of the seasonal cleanups during 1993 as an experiment. Member
Menesini expressed interest in establishing a citizens' advisory group to assist the District
with regard to this issue. President Clausen thanked Mr. Gallaher for his comments.

5. SOLID WASTE
ADOPT RESOLUTIONS TO ESTABLISH REFUSE COLLECTION RATES EFFECTIVE
JANUARY 1. 1993 FOR VALLEY WASTE MANAGEMENT AND ORINDA-MORAGA
DISPOSAL SERVICE. INC.
Mr. Roger J. Dolan, General Manager-Chief Engineer, stated that at the December 1 7,
1992 Board meeting, the Board reached decisions on almost all of the issues relating to
the refuse collection rate applications of Valley Waste Management (Valley) and Orinda-
Moraga Disposal Service, Inc. (Orinda-Moraga). The resultant effects on the rate
adjustment calculation and schedule of refuse collection rates for Valley and Orinda-
Moraga were calculated and are set forth in the position paper. In addition, the following
suggestions and requests were made by the Board:
1)
That the rate for seven cubic yard drop boxes be recalculated on a
breakeven basis, to eliminate subsidy from other customer categories;
2)
That the District's franchise fee be reviewed to produce a reduction of at
least $50,000, or possibly a larger reduction, if achievable without
eliminating required activities; and
3)
That questions raised with regard to the allow ability of some of the Contra
Costa County fees included in the landfill gate fee and the transfer station
fee be addressed.
Mr. Dolan introduced Mr. Walter N. Funasaki, Finance Officer, who reviewed adjustments
made to the rate calculations for the Valley service area excluding the City of Lafayette,
for the City of Lafayette, and for the Orinda-Moraga service area based on the decisions
and input of the Board of Directors at the December 17, 1992 meeting. Mr. Funasaki
reviewed the restructured seven cubic yard drop box rate, the reduction of $89,400 made
01
07
93

to the District franchise fee calculation, and the County fees collected through the Acme
Transfer Station fee and the Keller Canyon Landfill Gate fee forecasted for 1993.
Mr. Dolan stated that at the last meeting, the Board requested that some background be
provided with regard to the uses of County fees collected through the transfer station
fee and landfill gate fee. Mr. Dolan introduced Mr. Val Alexeeff, Director of the Contra
Costa County Growth Management and Economic Development Agency, who was invited
to provide that background and information on the uses of those fees by the County.
Using the overhead relating to County fees referenced by Mr. Funasaki, Mr. Alexeeff
stated:
1 )
The Local Enforcement Agency (LEA) Fee of $1.00 per ton is mandated by
the State and goes to the County Health Department, who is required to
monitor and ensure that all health requirements are met. This fee is
comparable to other LEA fees with the exception of those for State-run
LEAs, which are higher.
2)
The City AB 939 Planning Fee of $.80 per ton and the County AB 939
Planning Fee of $.15 per ton are used for AB 939 planning. The fees are
distributed on the basis of population and not on the basis of tonnage
delivered to the transfer station. The County AB 939 Planning Fee of $.15
per ton is used for preparation of the County-wide AB 939 Plan. The
Contra Costa County AB 939 Plan was the first plan completed and
submitted to the State for approval.
3)
The Household Hazardous Waste Planning Fee of $ .41 per ton is used for
the Mobile Household Hazardous-Waste Collection Service. All the cities,
with the exception of the City of Pittsburg, passed resolutions authorizing
participation in the County's Mobile Household Hazardous Waste Collection
Service.
4)
The County Resource Recovery Fee of $.27 per ton is used for various
cooperative programs including a County-wide telephone recycling hot line,
market development zone activities, and activities required under the
Resource Recovery and Recycling Element of the AB 939 Plan. The County
is working with the District to provide a telephone hot line for backyard
composting.
5)
The Keller Canyon Landfill Operation and Maintenance Expenses, including
the County Resource Recovery Fee of $200,000 annually, the County
Resource Recovery Management Fee of $100,000 annually, and the Landfill
Development Coordinator Fee of $15,000 annually, are the result of the
environmental review process for the Keller Canyon Landfill and are required
as part of the mitigation measures. The Landfill Development Coordinator
attends all Landfill Advisory Committee meetings and participates in
monitoring actions taken.
In response to questions from Member Rainey, Mr. Alexeeff stated that the LEA Fees
discussed earlier are restricted to solid waste activities; however, Mr. Alexeeff did not
indicate who was responsible for monitoring this. Mr. Alexeeff stated that the County
Resource Recovery Fee and the County Resource Management Fee are used for
monitoring and responding to State legislation, responding to needs and requests of
various County-wide organizations, and County initiatives such as grant opportunities.
Ms. Louise Aeillo, of the Contra Costa County Community Development Department,
stated that County staff working in this area has been reduced from six to three. In
addition to the items mentioned above, this group has responsibility for producing and
mailing documents, and preparing the Environmental Impact Report (EIR) for the County-
wide AB 939 Plan.
Mr. Alexeeff proceeded with his explanation of County fees collected through the Acme
Transfer Station Fee and Keller Canyon Landfill Gate Fee forecasted for 1993 as follows:
01
07
93
4
6)
Transportation, Open Space, and Community Mitigation Fees of $2.00 per
ton each, were conditions of approval of the Land Use Permit approved in
1990. The Community Mitigation Fee is going to the West Pittsburg area
to provide programs to help the area socially respond to the landfill. There
is a yearly process for review and consideration of those programs. Open
Space Mitigation was another condition of approval of the Land Use Permit.
This fee is used for beautification and thistle removal in the area. A
substantial portion of the Transportation Mitigation Fee went to complete
street improvements. The City of Pittsburg has refused to provide
encroachment permits for that work, so the work has not yet been
completed. In addition, some improvements will be made to the SR4
interchange.
President Clausen questioned whether Keller Canyon Landfill was required to provide
those improvements to the SR4 interchange. Mr. Alexeeff stated there is an ongoing
argument on that issue. The question is whether the cost for the improvements comes
out of the mitigation fees or the operations fees.
Mr. Alexeeff stated that he would provide the District with a copy of everything that was
approved as part of the mitigation program for the year. President Clausen indicated that
the District would appreciate receiving that information. President Clausen stated that
once these mitigation measures are met, presumably the fees will cease. Mr. Alexeeff
agreed, stating that when the Board of Supervisors determines the mitigation measures
have been met, the fees will cease. However, there is one view that says that as long
as the landfill operates, there should be mitigation. Member Menesini questioned the test
for culmination of mitigation fees and asked Mr. Alexeeff to provide that information.
Member Rainey requested a budget, breakdown, and history of how all the County fees
collected have been and will be used. Mr. Alexeeff stated that he would provide that
information.
Member Rainey stated that it has been said that Acme has found "nooks and crannies"
and that some waste going into the Acme Transfer Station is actually staying at the Acme
Landfill rather than being transferred to the Keller Canyon Landfill. Member Rainey stated
that she had been told that the County had negotiated a differential rate, that the surplus
funds collected were being put into a fund, and that the LEA was monitoring that process.
Member Rainey asked if that is true or if Acme Corporation is enjoying the use of the
funds. Mr. Alexeeff stated that the County does not receive that money. The County
does receive information on the amounts of waste being deposited and where. The
County does not have information or control of the money received. The County has
noted discrepancies and is considering how to proceed. Mr. Alexeeff stated that Acme
contends that the money has been set aside for closure. The closure isi:.ue is currently
in litigation. The County does not know exactly where that money is or how it will be
applied to closure.
Mr. Alexeeff returned to his explanation of the County fees collected through the Acme
Transfer Station Fee and the Keller Canyon La.ndfill Gate Fee forecasted for 1993.
7)
The County Surcharge of $3.90 per ton is the County franchise fee and is
used for the County's operational responsibilities in the broader sense. This
year the County surcharge was used for the Recycling Center in Pacheco.
General Assistance recipients will operate that facility.
President Clausen thanked Mr. Alexeeff and Ms. Aeillo for their presentations, and asked
again that Mr. Alexeeff provide the information requested by the Board.
Mr. Kenton L. Aim, Counsel for the District, distributed proposed changes to the draft
resolutions establishing new refuse collection rates for Valley Waste Management and
Orinda-Moraga Disposal Service, Inc. The proposed changes amplify President Clausen's
point with regard to a mid-year rate adjustment.
Member Menesini stated that there is no test or assessment as to whether the refuse
collectors are actively pursuing less expensive transfer station and disposal options.
Member Menesini asked if there is anything that could give a sense of urgency to find less
expensive disposal options. Mr. Aim stated his belief that the rates create an urgent
01
07

need. Mr. Aim stated further that the newly hired Central Contra Costa Solid Waste
Authority manager has been charged with actively pursuing alternative disposal and
transfer options.
It was moved by Member Rainey and seconded by Member Hockett, that Resolution No.
93-002 be adopted, establishing new rates for refuse collection for Valley Waste
Management within Zones 2, 4, and 5 effective January 1, 1993. Motion approved on

9. EMERGENCY SITUATIONS REQUIRING BOARD ACTION
10. REPORTS
GENERAL MANAGER-CHIEF ENGINEER
1)
Mr. Dolan, General Manager-Chief Engineer, stated that the Board will recall
that the District considered a rate adjustment to make up the shortfall due
to the loss of 35 percent ($2.6 million) of the District's ad valorem tax
revenue. The decision was made to postpone the rate increase until 1993
since it seemed inappropriate to move quickly and pass a substantial rate
increase without advising our customers and responding through the normal
rate process. As a result, the District took a loss in Capital Improvement
Program revenues. It now appears that the fiscal crisis at the State level is
worse than last year and a further taking of ad valorem tax revenue may
occur. Potential rate increases in the Sewer Service Charge range from $30
to $ 70 per year. This is somewhat complicated by the fact that the District
anticipated a rate increase for Capital Improvement Program requirements
directed toward environmental issues prior to the loss of ad valorem tax
revenue. Staff is working diligently to cut and defer projects. In addition,
consideration is being given toward financing some portion through the
issuance of debt. Mr. Dolan proposed that a letter be drafted and sent to
our customers, describing the 1992 loss of ad valorem tax revenue, and the
potential range of actions the District may have to take.
Discussion followed concerning the use of letters, two-sided flyers
communicating a second message, friendly postcards, press releases
including comments from members of the public and individuals outside our
organization, and news conferences to communicate with our customers.
Mr. Dolan stated that alternatives will be prepared for review by the Board.
Mr. Dolan, General Manager-Chief Engineer, stated that some time ago, the
District received a comment from the Danville Town Council relating to
concerns raised by restaurants in Danville. They commented that the
93
7
District's Facilities Capacity Fee was high. Staff checked and confirmed
that the District rates are in the. mid range of similar agencies in the Bay
Area. Nevertheless, the Facilities Capacity Fee is a substantial percentage
of capital costs for a new restaurant because of the high strength of waste
produced by restaurants. It has been a long standing practice of the District
and a requirement of the Environmental Protection Agency's federal revenue
program, that each category of customers pay their own costs without
subsidy from other groups. Therefore, simply cutting the rate would not be
appropriate.
Mr. Dolan introduced Mr. Jarred Miyamoto-Mills, Principal Engineer, who
reviewed the basis for establishing non-residential fees. The fee charges for
the capacity required by using generally accepted industry standards
considering flow and strength. A special study process is available for some
user groups or upon request. Mr. Miyamoto-Mills reviewed the staff
proposal for modification of the Facilities Capacity Fee structure for
categories with the highest fees to provide for:
a)
An initial payment at the time the building permit is approved;
b)
An annual capacity fee increment to the Sewer Service
Charge over the life of the business; and
c)
A relocation credit when a business moves from one location
to another within the District service area.
Mr. Miyamoto-Mills stated that if the Board is inclined to move forward in
this consideration, it would be necessary to ensure that all the necessary
notices are provided to the public and that the necessary documents are
developed. Staff would come back to the Board with proposed revisions to
the District Code allowing, but not requiring the Board to institute such a
program. The specifics of the program could then be considered during the
next rate-setting process.
Discussion followed concerning the present state of the economy,
implementing such a program throughout the District service area and not
just in the Town of Danville, obtaining feedback on the proposal from
restaurant owners, and applying such a fee structure to laundromats as well
as restaurants. Mr. Dolan indicated that staff will return to the Board with
feedback from the restaurant owners and with the other information
requested by the Board. It was agreed that a separate meeting will be set
to discuss questions from Membèr Menesini concerning the basis currently
used for setting Facilities Capacity Fees.
3)
Mr. Dolan briefly described some of the Tri-Valley Wastewater Authority
(TW A) project history. Since the mid-1980's, there has been a CCCSD
Board committee that has been involved in discussions between the District
and TWA. However, there are now two new CCCSD Board Members.
Also, some recent events warrant Board discussion. Mr. Dolan stated that
staff will provide a brief overview of the project, discuss some recent
events, and share some observations and opinions.
Mr. Dolan introduced Mr. Robert A. Baker, Deputy Chief Engineer, who
stated that over two years ago TWA once again asked CCCSD to
investigate the feasibility of a joint project. After an initial round of
engineering studies done in 1986 and 1987 at District expense, TWA
pursued other options. Therefore when TWA returned, CCCSD asked, and
TWA agreed, to pay for future engineering work. Engineering studies were
performed to determine the expand ability of facilities on a technical basis.
Camp Dresser & McKee (CDM) conducted two studies looking into the
capacity of the District's facilities. It was found that the constraints of the
system were for wet weather, not dry weather. The biggest constraint is
the 125 mgd capacity at the north end of the San Ramon Valley Interceptor.
The CDM study was done to determine the capacity available in the pipeline
01
07
93
8
01
07
while still maintaining the current District standard which is one overflow
every 20 years. The study found that up to 40 mgd peak wet weather
capacity could be allocated if the District decided to provide services to
TWA. The available capacity in the pipeline has two sources:
1 )
The pipeline was sized to serve the Dougherty Valley at the
originally proposed .17,000 unit density; and
2)
Conservative engineering criteria available at that time were
used in sizing because today's more sophisticated models had
not been developed. The current District standard, which was
used to evaluate the capacity available in the San Ramon
Valley Interceptor, is no more than one wet weather sewer
overflow in 20 years.
Mr. Baker stated that the capacity of the outfall is just big enough for
District requirements. There will be a 140 mgd capacity when current
outfall projects are completed. It would be necessary to build a 40 mgd
booster pumping station at Waterfront Road to increase flow if capacity is
sold to TWA.
Mr. Baker stated that District staff has been working with Mr. Bob Whitley,
of TWA, to develop a terms and conditions document to try to form a
concept of what the cost to TWA would be and what the savings to
CCCSD ratepayers would be. TWA has hired Bartle and Wells to prepare
a financial report which should be completed in February or March 1 993.
At that time, TWA will consider the matter and if TWA decides to pursue
the CCCSD option, the report will be formally submitted to the District for
consideration. Mr. Dolan recommended that if TWA does select the District
as the preferred option, that the District hire an independent third party to
evaluate environmental and economic issues.
The Regional Board, because the whole San Francisco Bay system is
thought to be sufficiently contaminated by man's activity, has said they will
prohibit further release of contaminants. These mass emission limitations
are in the development stages now. The first contaminant to be dealt with
is copper. Other contaminants will be addressed in the future. TWA has
been working with the Regional Water Quality Control Board on approaches
to deal with this issue. They have been making some progress. However,
the mass emission issue remains one which must be satisfactorily resolved
before the TW A project could proceed.
A water quality impacts analysis was done at the Mallard Slough Intake.
Mr. Baker reviewed the results of the study and stated the impact on the
quality of the municipal water supply at the Mallard Slough Intake would be
negligible.
Mr. Baker and Mr. Dolan briefly discussed some of the changes which have
recently occurred in eastern Alameda County that might affect TWA's
proposal. Conceivably, TWA could drop or seriously modify their proposal.
Mr. Baker stated that he felt a consensus of opposition to the project was
developing among mayors and councilmembers within the District service
area. Mr. Dolan stated that letters have been received from cities in Contra
Costa County objecting to the proposed TWA project. He expressed
concern for the relationship between the cities and the District. Mr. Dolan
stated that there is no doubt in his mind that all the work done in sizing the
pipe and all of the work done so far with regard to the proposed TWA
project has been done in a very professional and responsible way. He
expressed an interest in providing all of the information available and
responding to any concerns or interests of the Board Members. Mr. Dolan
requested guidance from the Board with regard to the current direction of
staff concerning this proposed project. Mr. Dolan asked if the Board wished
to have staff continue with their efforts on this project. President Clausen
indicated that it would not be appropriate for the Board to make that
93
,
b.
c.
d.
9
decision at this time, but the matter could be calendared for decision at a
future Board meeting if that is the wish of the Board. Mr. Dolan stated that
staff will continue until such time the Board directs otherwise.
In response to a question from the Board, Mr. Bob Whitley, of TWA,
described the contract between Livermore Amador Valley Wastewater
Management Authority (LA VWMA) and East Bay Dischargers Association
(EBDA) and the capacity that exists in the EBDA pipeline.
In closing, Mr. Whitley stated that if the CCCSD option were selected, TWA
would commit to large capacity overflow reservoirs and protection in the
Valley to make sure the peak flow is limited to the terms agreed upon with
CCCSD. The TWA service area is based on the natural drainage basin and
not political boundaries, so TWA would actually serve a portion of Contra
Costa County. There has been a shift in the political leadership in the Valley.
Mr. Whitley stated that he does not know at this time whether TW A will
submit a proposal to CCCSD, but that he intends to recommend that a
proposal be prepared and submitted to CCCSD. This matter is not
calendared for consideration by the TWA Board of Directors in January
1993. The earliest that such a decision could be made would be February
1993.
There being no further questions or comments, Mr. Dolan indicated that
staff will continue to work with TWA until the Board directs otherwise.
4)
Mr. Dolan announced that recent wet weather flow into the Treatment Plant
has ranged from 50 mgd to 100 mgd, with an average of 70 mgd in the last
two days.
