CALL FOR REQUESTS TO CONSIDER ITEMS OUT OF ORDER Mr. Roger J. Dolan, General Manager-Chief Engineer, requested that Engineer Report Items 10.a.3 and 10.a.4 be taken out of order to accommodate interested persons in the audience. President Clausen proceeded to Item 10.a.3. a. 10. REPORTS GENERAL MANAGER-CHIEF ENGINEER 3) Mr. Dolan, General Manager-Chief Engineer, stated that the Tassajara Valley General Plan Amendment was placed on the agenda for an update to the Board on activities in the Tassajara Valley. Mr. Dolan introduced Mr. David R. Williams, Planning Division Manager, who reported that a Notice of Preparation (NOP) on the Tassajara Valley General Plan Amendment was received from the Contra Costa County Community Development Department as part of the California Environmental Quality Act (CECA) process. The District will comment as a responsible agency. Mr. Williams used overheads to describe the Tassajara Valley planning area and vicinity. The NOP identifies the District as a proposed service provider and proposes to change the General Plan from Agricultural to Single Family Residential, Multi-family Residential, Office/Commercial, Public/Semi-public, Parks/Recreation, and Open Space; rezone to Planned Unit District (P-1); and approve the Preliminary Development Plan. The peak wet weather flow for the planned development will be 5 mgd. In comparison, Dougherty Valley peak wet weather flow is estimated to be approximately 9 mgd. Mr. Williams described the study area and drainage, reviewed the CECA \ process, and the opportunities for the District to comment as a responsible agency throughout that process. Mr. Williams reviewed the preliminary sewer service alternatives involving the District and Dublin San Ramon Services District identified in the NqP and the impacts on District interceptors, trunks, mains and pumping stations and other potential 06 03 93 120 impacts on the District. Any upgrades to mains and pumping stations required would be the responsibility of the developer. The proposed number of units in the Tassajara Valley and the Dougherty Valley, and the potential for water reclamation were discussed. Mr. Williams reviewed the proposed comments on the NOP including: . The District is responsible for sewerage facilities planning, design and construction . Study area will require Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCO) and Board approval for annexation . Standard Sewer Requirements: Gravity sewers preferred Developer pays for project sewers and pumping stations Equalization may be required at pumping stations Preference for sewers in streets Easements required where needed Funding entity needed for pumping stations . Private Sewer Criteria . Off-site Capacity Issues . Hillside and Creek Policy . Source Control Requirements . Treatment Plant Capacity 45 mgd . Need to Accommodate Area 9.02 Mr. Dolan, General Manager-Chief Engineer, stated that staff would normally respond directly to the NOP as outlined by Mr. Williams. Unless the Board directs otherwise, staff will submit the comments described above. The Board concurred. Copies of the overheads used in Mr. Williams' presentation and the comments on the NOP will be provided to the Board. 4) Mr. David R. Williams, Planning Division Manager, stated that at a recent Board Meeting the status of the Gateway Valley Project in the Orinda area was reviewed. Mr. Williams reported that after several meetings deliberating on the project, on May 26, 1993, the Orinda City Council approved 271 homes, an 18-hole golf course and a 260-room conference center. Dual piping for recycled water was required. An on-site water reclamation plant was not required, but would be allowed if requested by East Bay Municipal Utility District or Central Contra Costa Sanitary District. President Clausen thanked Mr. Williams for the updates, and reverted to the order of the agenda. 06 03 93 121 5. SOLID WASTE a. PRESENTATION BY LOUISE AIELLO. CONTRA COSTA COUNTY AB 939 PROGRAM DIRECTOR. ON COUNTY'S SOLID WASTE AND RECYCLING BUDGET Ms. Louise Aiello, Contra Costa County AB 939 Program Director, thanked the Board for their patience indicating that County staff has been very busy completing the County Integrated Waste Management Plan (CoIWMP) and the draft Environmental Impact Report (EIR) on the Plan. Ms. Aiello distributed a three-page document summarizing AB 939 Program revenues and expenditures. Ms. Aiello stated that the document may not address all of the Board's questions because some of the Acme and Keller Canyon rates are still handled by the County Administrator's Office and have not been transferred to the Community Development Department. Ms. Aiello stated that $.95/ton is collected on the Keller Canyon Landfill fee. Of that, $.15/ton is retained by the County and $.80/ton is returned to the cities based on a formula approved by the cities. It is estimated that the County portion of $.15/ton has generated approximately $110,000 per year for the last three years, or $330,000. The West County cities do not receive any of this revenue because they do not participate in the total tonnage generated or dumped at Keller Canyon Landfill. Ms. Aiello reviewed the estimated expenditures for the AB 939 Task Force work totaling $293,500 as detailed on the first page of the document distributed to the Board. Ms. Aiello stated that staff costs for the AB 939 Task Force are estimated to be $400,000 for the period 1990-1993. As of June 1, 1 993, there are two full-time employees in the Community Development Department and one contract person dedicated to this work. In addition, there is a full-time employee in the County Health Department working on the household hazardous waste program. Ms. Aiello stated that the ColWMP and EIR are now completed so staff time and charges will be minimal in the future. The County dipped into the Resource Recovery Fee revenues to cover this cost. It was necessary to rewrite the ColWMP based on the comments submitted by cities and the County was required to draft an additional element added by the State. Ms. Aiello highlighted the Resource Recovery Programs and estimated costs as set forth on page 2 of the handout. Ms. Aiello stated that the education/public information hotline is a wealth of information including the status of programs in nearby areas. The Recycling Market Development Zone (RMDZ) line item of $100,000 covers the County lead agency costs, and the cost of a consultant's work identifying and working with businesses. The County would like to increase this line item to help jump start businesses and provide grant money or matching funds. With regard to the Vocational Training Program line item of $78,000, Member Hockett questioned the County's relationship with the community colleges and vocational training programs. Ms. Aiello described the Diablo Valley College and Contra Costa College recycling certification programs. In response to questions from President Clausen, Ms. Aiello stated that the Resource Recovery Fee is a Land Use Permit fee totalling approximately $100,000 annually from Acme and approximately $300,000 annually from Keller Canyon Landfill, or approximately $.50/ton. Ms. Aiello stated that the three County fees of $2/ton each are based on 250,000 tons a year. In addition, there is a $.90/ton fee for the Local Enforcement Agency, a $.75/ton California Integrated Waste Management Board fee, a $.75/ton Delaine Eastin State fee for hazardous waste clean up, and a $3.85/ton (10 percent) County franchise fee. In response to a question from Member Rainey, Ms. Aiello stated that $535,000 of the County $3.85/ton franchise fee was allocated to the General Services Department for the expansion of the recycling center. All general assistance clients must now go through a training program at the recycling center. Member Rainey asked if the proceeds from the three $ 2/ton fees earmarked for the Transportation Trust Fund $500,000 program, the Open Space/Agriculture Trust Fund $500,000 program, and the Community Assistance Trust Fund $500,000 program have actually been expended. Ms. Aiello stated that these are program allocations not actual expenses. In response to a question from Member Hockett, Ms. Aiello stated that funds may not actually have been expended for youth recreation because the funds were used for litter control. In response to a question from Mr. Dolan, Ms. Aiello stated that the Resource Recovery Programs 06 03 93 122 listed on page 2 have been outlined to help the County reach the 25 percent and 50 percent AB 939 goals but none are externally mandated. Mr. Dolan stated that a letter was received that indicated that the Acme transfer station could cut $6.97 out of its rate if the County would agree to remove the $6/ton surcharges at the Keller Canyon Landfill. Mr. Dolan suggested that the County may wish to go in immediately and determine where the efficiencies would be derived and implement the decreases in the rate, particularly with regard to the BFI haul contract because it appears to be a related party transaction. President Clausen thanked Ms. Aiello for the information provided, but stated that a number of questions remain unanswered. President Clausen suggested that this matter be referred to District staff for summarization and to the appropriate Board Committee if needed, and then brought back to the full Board for further discussion. Member Rainey inquired as to the total revenues received by the County. Ms. Aiello stated that she would be happy to go back and get additional information. With regard to Mr. Dolan's comments concerning lowering the rates and the investigation of the hauling contract, Ms. Aiello stated that the Community Development Department is beginning that process and that request will be conveyed to them. Mr. Kenton L. Aim, Counsel for the District, stated that many different estimates of tonnage have been used for different purposes. Mr. Aim asked Ms. Aiello if she had a sense of the actual tonnage. Ms. Aiello stated that the tonnage is higher on certain days and is dependant on whether the haulers are going elsewhere, but her sense is that the actual tonnage is higher than estimated. Mr. Lee Walton, General Manager of Acme Fill, stated that approximately 1,500 tons a day are hauled. Member Menesini expressed concern about the number of unanswered questions. If the Board has questions, it is incumbent on the Board to have a committee investigate this matter and work with Ms. Aiello in making some of these options more understandable and firmer. Member Menesini Questioned where the money collected is actually going. There being no further questions or comments, President Clausen referred this matter to District staff for summarization and to the appropriate Board Committee. The matter will then be calendared for further discussion by the full Board. President Clausen thanked Ms. Aiello for her presentation. a. 6. CORRESPONDENCE NOTE RECEIPT OF LETTERS DATED MAY 24 AND MAY 25. 1993 FROM THE CITY OF CONCORD MAYOR NANCY GORE THANKING THE DISTRICT FOR RESPONDING TO HER PREVIOUS LETTER REQUESTING INFORMATION ON A-LINE SIZING Receipt was noted of the letters dated May 24 and May 25, 1993 from the City of Concord Mayor Nancy Gore thanking the District for responding to her previous letter requesting information on A-Line sizing. These letters were provided for the Board's information. No action was taken. 7. APPROVAL OF MINUTES a. MINUTES OF MAY 20. 1993 It was moved by Member Hockett and seconded by Member Rainey, that the minutes of May 20, 1993 be approved as presented. There being no objection, the motion was unanimously approved. 8. APPROVAL OF EXPENDITURES EXPENDITURE LIST DATED JUNE 3. 1993 a. Member Menesini, member of the Budget and Finance Committee, stated that he and Member Hockett reviewed the expenditures and had a number of questions which were 06 03 93 123 answered by staff. Member Menesini stated that after review, the Budget and Finance Committee found the expenditures to be satisfactory. Member Menesini requested that a brief overview be provided to the Board of seminars and training on innovative technologies. Mr. Dolan, General Manager-Chief Engineer, stated that information on major training events is shared among the staff and could be provided to the Board. Mr. Dolan stated that he would keep this suggestion in mind when preparing his Engineer's Report. It was moved by Member Menesini and seconded by Member Hockett, that the Expenditure List dated June 3, 1993, including Self-Insurance Check Nos. 100691- 100692, Running Expense Check Nos. 75551-75782, Sewer Construction Check Nos. 12547-12595, and Payroll Check Nos. 31252-31541, be approved as recommended. There being no objection, the motion was unanimously approved. None 9. EMERGENCY SITUATIONS REQUIRING BOARD ACTION 10. REPORTS GENERAL MANAGER-CHIEF ENGINEER a. 1 ) Mr. Dolan, General Manager-Chief Engineer, introduced Mr. Paul Morsen, Deputy General Manager, who stated that there was a delay in receiving the Orinda-Moraga Disposal Service, Inc. audited financial statements; however, the audited financial statements have now been received. Ms. Deborah Ratcliff, Controller, will now review the books of Orinda-Moraga Disposal Service to look at the financial viability of the company. Mr. Morsen distributed a letter which was received from Orinda-Moraga Disposal indicating waste is now going to Richmond's West Contra Costa Sanitary Landfill and proposing a mid-year rate decrease of approximately 3 percent. Ms. Ratcliff will review this issue as well. At this point, District staff does not feel a mid-year rate hearing would be advisable, but would propose instead that the funds be placed in the balancing account and taken into consideration during the regular rate setting in December. 2) Mr. Dolan stated that earlier in the agenda a public hearing was scheduled for July 1, 1 993 to receive comments on certain segments of the Pleasant Hill Relief Interceptor. The Board is aware that as a cost-saving move, the District plans that the northern most section of this pipe will be designed to provide capacity for the future A-Line Parallel Project. In sizing this reach of pipe, the District did not include capacity for the Tri-Valley Wastewater Authority (TWA). The Environmental Impact Report (EIR) process has been completed for the Pleasant Hill Relief Interceptor Project. The only issue not covered was the unresolved rights of way. There are three areas where there were alignment issues. Staff is now prepared to recommend an alternative on two of those areas. One could argue that the EIR process has been concluded and that an amendment to the EIR would not be required. However, staff believes that the most prudent approach would be to do an EIR amendment dealing only with the alignments and rights of way issues. There are two disadvantages if the EIR is challenged. First, the District's ability to provide adequate storm protection to the residents of Pleasant Hill would be delayed at least one year. Second, the District budget and staffing plans are built around this very large project. Normally, many projects would be going at once; but with a project of this magnitude, that is not possible. Delays in the project will result in substantial inefficiencies and significant waste of public resources. Staff hopes to move smoothly through this EIR amendment process, but problems could arise. 3) 4) This item was taken out of order earlier in the agenda. This item was taken out of order earlier in the agenda. 06 03 93 124 06 10) 11 ) 12) 03 5) Mr. Dolan reported that progress has been made on the Ultraviolet (UV) Disinfection Project in recent months. The pilot study conducted by the Water Environment Federation (WEF) and the District was very successful. Predesign is underway and more specific information is being gathered increasing staff's confidence in the project costs. Some time ago, President Clausen expressed an interest in the UV project costs and chlorine disinfection costs. Mr. Dolan introduced Mr. Doug Craig, Senior Engineer, who stated that in February 1993, the Board authorized the predesign effort to further define the details of the UV system and to refine the cost estimate. Predesign is now approximately 60 to 70 percent complete. The location of UV facilities has been selected, structural and hydraulic issues have been resolved, and a need for a new electrical substation has been identified. Mr. Craig reviewed the disinfection predesign capital and O&M near-term and long-term estimated costs for chlorine disinfection and UV disinfection, noting that the chlorine disinfection estimated costs are less accurate than the UV disinfection estimated costs. The total annualized costs for chlorine disinfection are estimated to be $2.5 million compared to total annualized costs for UV disinfection estimated to be $2.2 million. At this point, UV appears to be the more cost effective project. In addition, the safety factors involved with the use of UV make it more viable. Mr. Craig stated that future efforts will include finalizing predesign and continuing discussions with the Regional Water Quality Control Board to modify wet weather coliform requirements. In terms of final design, all disinfection alternatives have been evaluated, a thorough pilot test has been conducted, UV has been determined to be cost effective, and staff is confident of UV performance. Considering these factors, staff will come back to the Board in late summer recommending that the District go forward with final design for UV requirements. Following discussion, the Board concurred. 6) Mr. Dolan announced that the District will be advertising to prequalify bidders for tunneling on the Pleasant Hill Relief Interceptor Project. Qualified bidders identified will then be included in the bid specifications. 7) Mr. Dolan announced that the District is advertising for the Preaeration Odor Control Project. The engineer's estimate for the work is $963,000. 8) Mr. Dolan announced that the District is advertising for bids for the Sewer Replacement Project on Glenside Drive. The engineer's estimate is $102,000. 9) Mr. Dolan stated that President Clausen noted that some cities are dropping out of the Association of Bay Area Governments (ABAG) and asked for a summary of the District's expenditures to outside organizations. Mr. Dolan distributed the summary for the Board's information and review. Mr. Dolan reported that Mr. Randy Schmidt, Associate Engineer, recently attended a course on air quality dispersion modeling. Mr. Schmidt has been working with Junior Engineer Joe Pomroy to increase his awareness and technical knowledge with regard to this modeling and health risk assessment at the District. Mr. Dolan announced that he may be unable to attend the August 19, 1993 Board Meeting. As Past President of the Water Environment Federation (WEF), he has been asked to represent WEF at the Sweden/Baltic Sea Conference. Mr. Dolan announced that 67 residents in the unincorporated areas around Pleasant Hill have been receiving the level of refuse collection services and rates established by the City of Pleasant Hill. This came to the attention of District staff through a telephone call from one of the residents. Pleasant Hill Bayshore Disposal has agreed to correct the situation and has prepared a draft letter to the affected residents. Mr. Dolan distributed a copy of the draft letter. Discussion followed regarding the fact that Pleasant Hill 93 13) 14) 15) 16) 125 Bayshore Disposal has not requested a rate increase since February 1990, resulting in lower rates for the residents in the areas franchised by the District. Mr. Dolan stated that some confusion may have occurred at the last meeting when the overview of the Collection System Operations (CSO) Department Operations and Maintenance (O&M) Budget was presented for review. By way of clarification, Mr. Dolan stated that the CSO Fiscal Year 1993-1 994 O&M Budget assumptions were based on providing staff support to the capital program provided for under Capital Improvement Budget Scenario A. Mr. Dolan introduced Ms. Deborah Ratcliff, Controller, who reviewed the cumulative tax revenue and shortfall for the two-year period July 1, 1992 through June 30, 1994 and the effect on the 1993-1994 Sewer Service Charge. Ms. Ratcliff stated that the District had originally thought that the State would take 35 percent, $2.8 million, of the District's ad valorem tax revenue. Staff has just learned that $3.2 million, 40 percent, will be taken in 1992-1993. The effect on the Sewer Service Charge is $23.40. In 1993-1994, if an additional 40 percent is taken, the dollar for dollar replacement effect on the Sewer Service Charge would be $47.95; and if 100 percent is taken, the effect would be $84.78. Mr. Ratcliff then reviewed the effect of budgeted increases in salaries and employee benefits on the 1993-1994 Sewer Service Charge. Before elimination of nine positions, the effect on the Sewer Service Charge would be $7.29; after the elimination of nine positions, the effect on the Sewer Service Charge would be $3.54. President Clausen thanked Ms. Ratcliff for the information. Mr. Dolan stated that at the last Board Meeting a question arose with regard to the Pollution Prevention Program budget. Mr. Dolan reviewed the components of the budget, indicating that $41 ,000 was budgeted in Source Control and $11 7,445 was budgeted in Public Information, for a total of $158,445. The biggest single cost of the program is a mailer that could go out to all citizens to encourage residents to change their behavior regarding what goes into the sewer system. Before that mailer goes out, staff will gather more information and return to the Board for approval. Mr. Dolan announced that notices of resignation have recently been received from three key people at the District: Planning Division Manager Dave Williams, Public Information/Graphics Coordinator Colleen Camicia, and Accounting Technician II Gayle Turnage. Staff will be discussing refilling the Accounting Technician II position with the Board Personnel Committee. b. COUNSEL FOR THE DISTRICT None c. SECRETARY OF THE DISTRICT None d. BOARD MEMBERS 1 ) Member Menesini reported that the Residential Metals Study/Pollution Prevention Program and the public education programs of various districts were discussed at the May 27, 1993 meeting of the Sanitation and Water Agencies of Contra Costa County. The presentations were very interesting and informative. 11. ANNOUNCEMENTS President Clausen announced that the County Retirement Board recently forgave a $5.4 million outstanding payment by Contra Costa County to the Retirement Board. 06 03 93 126 President Clausen requested that staff look into this matter to ensure that it does not impact the District. Mr. Paul Morsen, Deputy General Manager, stated that the County Retirement Board forgave all entities their cost-of-living contributions this year. Mr. Morsen stated that he will look into the matter to ensure there is no impact on the District. 12. CLOSED SESSION None 13. ACTIONS RESULTING FROM DISCUSSIONS IN CLOSED SESSION None 14. ADJOURNMENT There being no further business to come before the Board, President Clausen adjourned the meeting at the hour of 5:37 p.m. to reconvene at 3 p.m. on Thursday, June 10, 1993 for an Adjourned Regular Meeting for public hearings to receive comments on the 1 993- 1994 Capital Improvement Budget/1993 Ten-Year Capital Improvement Plan, the 1993- 1994 O&M and Self-Insurance Fund Budgets, on setting the 1993-1994 Sewer Service Charge rates, and on placing current and delinquent Sewer Service Charges on the County tax roll for collection.
