President Clausen called the meeting to order and requested that the Secretary call roll. 1. ROLL CALL PRESENT: Members: Menesini, Dalton, Hockett, Rainey, Clausen ABSENT: Members: None 2. PUBLIC COMMENTS Mr. Clyde Vaughn, 59 Donna Maria Way, Orinda, Chairman of the Moraga Del Rey Homeowners Association, addressed the Board relative to purchase of the abandoned Shell pipeline for distribution of reclaimed water. Mr. Vaughn stated that a number of people in Orinda are opposed to reclaimed water coming into the East Bay Municipal Utility District (EBMUD) watershed that drains into San Pablo Reservoir. Additionally, Orinda is the highest point in the distribution system and would have the highest pumping costs and additional pipeline would be needed to get the water to Orinda. Mr. Vaughn stated that 30 percent of the registered voters in Orinda have signed a petition opposing the Gateway Valley development and use of reclaimed water for the proposed golf course. When there is a closer, cheaper market, Mr. Vaughn asked why the District would expose the ratepayers in Orinda to unnecessary liability. Mr. Vaughn asked that the Board keep this in mind when considering the proposed reclaimed water project. President Clausen thanked Mr. Vaughn for his comments but indicated that in compliance with the Brown Act, the Board could not discuss the matter at this time since it was not calendared on the agenda. President Clausen urged Mr. Vaughn to watch the District Board agenda and to present his views and concerns if purchase of the abandoned Shell pipeline comes before the Board for consideration. Mr. Peter Radetic, 890 Golf Club Road, Pleasant Hill, addressed the Board relative to the service level and billing of Pleasant Hill Bayshore Disposal. Mr. Radetic stated that he is a resident of the unincorporated area of Pleasant Hill and as such resides in the District's refuse collection franchise area. Mr. Radetic stated that he received a letter from Pleasant Hill Bayshore Disposal stating that through an oversight he had been receiving the service level and billing rate for residents in the incorporated area franchised by the City of Pleasant Hill. Mr. Radetic stated that the letter advised that his level of service would change and his rate would decrease from $18.40 to $15.50. Mr. Radetic requested a refund for the amount overbilled, approximately $25 over the last 12 months. President Clausen thanked Mr. Radetic for bringing this matter to the attention of the Board and referred the matter to staff for review and response. 3.

Ms. Deborah Ratcliff, Controller, provided a brief report of operations and maintenance expenses, revenues and reserves for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1993. Ms. Ratcliff stated that actual revenues of $27,887,000 were $630,000 less than budgeted revenues of $28,500,000, representing a 2.2 percent revenue shortfall. Ms. Ratcliff stated that actual expenditures of $26,462,000 were $1,047,000 less than budgeted expenditures of $27,509,000, representing a 3.8 percent favorable variance. As a result, reserves will increase to a balance of $2,663,000. Self-Insurance Fund actual revenues of $327,000 were $63,000 less than budget, representing a 16 percent shortfall. Actual expenditures of $643,000 exceeded budget by $447,000, resulting in a decrease to reserves of $316,000. The Self-Insurance Fund reserve at June 30, 1993 is $5,655,000. Ms. Ratcliff stated that a more detailed report will be made when the audited financial statements are submitted to the Board in October 1993. Ms. Ratcliff reported that the District's temporary investments were held in Treasury bills and Treasury notes and the District's Local Agency Investment Fund (LAIF) account, with interest rates ranging from 2.77 percent to 6.2 percent. The latest interest rate was 3.875 percent. The average yield for the LAIF account through June 1993 was 4.55 percent. Ms. Ratcliff reported that average yield on the District's investments for the year was 5.138 percent. Staff will be looking at other low risk investment options for consideration in conjunction with the annual review of the Investment Policy in January 1994. Following a brief discussion, President Clausen declared that the June 1993 Financial Statements were duly received. b. RECEIVE THE FISCAL YEAR 1992-1993 CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM YEAR-END REPORT Mr. Robert A. Baker, Deputy Chief Engineer, indicated that periodic updates will be provided during the coming months in response to the Board's request for more information on the Capital Improvement Program. Mr. Baker reported that $23 million was expended in the past fiscal year on 158 capital improvement projects. 08 05 93 166 Mr. Baker described three of the largest projects in the Treatment Plant Program. The Headworks Facilities Improvements Project bid was awarded in June 1992. Humphrey Construction was the low bidder at $18.4 million. In Fiscal Year 1992-1993, $5.4 million was expended. Forty-five percent of the time has elapsed and 31 percent of the funds have been expended. To date, 21 changes orders have been approved totaling approximately 0.4 percent. Additional changes orders totaling $210,000 (1.1 percent) are currently under review. Mr. Baker reported that $659,000 was expended in Fiscal Year 1992-1993 on the Disinfection Facilities Improvements Project. A pilot study and predesign has been completed by Montgomery Engineers. It is anticipated that staff will be coming to the Board for award of the design contract in October 1993. The Secondary Clarifier Improvements Project bid was awarded in May 1993 to Kaweah Construction, the low bidder at $3.2 million. The contractor has mobilized. The project is now in the submittal review, schedule review phase. Mr. Baker highlighted three major projects in the Collection System Program. The Pleasant Hill/A-Line Interceptor Project is at 95 percent design level. Montgomery is performing that work. It is anticipated that the project will be bid in September 1993. The engineer's estimate for the construction bid is about $18 million. It has not yet been finalized. Mr. Baker reported that the 1680/SR24 Relocation Phase 3 Project bid was awarded in February 1993 to Hess Construction, the low bidder at $1.7 million. To date 75 percent of the funds have been expended and the project is ahead of schedule. Thirteen changes orders have been approved totaling approximately 3.5 percent. Additional changes orders totaling $91,000 (5.3 percent) are currently under discussion. The bid for the Orchard Road Trunk Sewer was awarded in December 1992 to Gelco in the amount of $768,000. As a result of negotiations by District staff, the contract price was reduced by $213,000. Final change orders have resulted in a $13,000 credit. In Fiscal Year 1992-1993, $631,000 was expended on this project. In summary, Mr. Baker stated that Fiscal Year 1992-1993 was a very good year for the Capital Program. No major problems occurred; the bidding climate was excellent; the District successfully made it through the challenge period for the Pleasant Hill Relief Interceptor Environmental Impact Report (EIR); the institutional problems relating to the Pleasant Hill/A-Line Interceptor Project were resolved; and some innovative cost saving ideas were generated during the Capital Improvement Budget planning process. Mr. Baker stated that the Capital Improvement Budget is somewhat different from the O&M Budget. In the Capital Improvement Budget revenues and expenditures are not as predictable in the short term. Approximately $43 million in capital work is scheduled for the coming year. While all of that work may not be done next year, the level of capital work will be rising in coming years because of two major projects: the Headworks Facilities Improvements Project and the Pleasant Hill Relief Interceptor Project. Mr. Baker introduced Mr. John Mercurio, Administrative Analyst, who highlighted information presented in the 1992-1993 Capital Improvement Program Year-End Report. Mr. Mercurio reported that actual revenues of $16.6 million were less than budgeted revenues of $26.2 million by $9.6 million, 36 percent of budget. Actual expenditures of $22.9 million were less than budgeted expenditures of $39.9 million by $17 million, 43 percent less than the Capital Improvement Budget estimate. The Sewer Construction Fund balance at the end of Fiscal Year 1992-1993 was $61.9 million. President Clausen thanked Messrs. Baker and Mercurio for their reports and noted that the Fiscal Year 1992-1993 Capital Improvement Program Year-end Status Report was duly received. 08 05 93 167 a. 9. EMERGENCY SITUATIONS REQUIRING BOARD ACTION AUTHORIZE $75.000 FROM THE TREATMENT PLANT PROGRAM CONTINGENCY ACCOUNT OF THE SEWER CONSTRUCTION FUND FOR THE EMERGENCY REPLACEMENT OF THE FILTER PLANT. SUBSTATION 40 "A" SIDE (12KVL ELECTRICAL FEEDER Mr. Kenton L. Aim, Counsel for the District, advised the Board that staff will provide sufficient information to allow the Board to determine if an emergency exists and such emergency arose after the agenda was published. Then, if the Board determines by 4/5 vote that such is the case, this matter can be considered pursuant to Government Code Section 54954.2(b)(1). Mr. Charles W. Batts, Plant Operations Department (POD) Manager, stated that yesterday, August 4, 1993, the" A" side electrical feeder that supplies the main electrical power to the District's Filter Plant failed. The system is a dual system and is now operating on the "B" side feeder. It is proposed that the" A" cable be replaced on an emergency basis. Quotes are presently being sought. The installation of the new electrical cable will take several days and require two separate Filter Plant shutdowns. It is believed that the impacts of these shutdowns can be minimized and operations can be maintained without bypassing if the shutdowns are done during low flow. Some overtime will be required. In order to prevent treatment plant effluent discharge violations and to protect the public health and the environment, Mr. Batts requested that the Board declare that an emergency condition exists and authorize exception to the District standard bidding procedure to allow work to proceed to correct the situation. It was moved by Member Rainey and seconded by Member Dalton, that in accordance with Government Code Section 54954.2(b)(1), the Board of Directors of the Central Contra Costa Sanitary District determines that an emergency situation exists, as defined in Section 54956.5 of the Government Code. There being no objection, the motion was unanimously approved. Mr. Dolan, General Manager-Chief Engineer, stated that the electrical cable system currently supplying power to the Filter Plant and dechlorination facility is now a point of vulnerability because one of the legs of the dual cable system has failed. Because the other cable system has been in service the same length of time and under the same conditions, staff is concerned that it is in danger of failing as well. Because of the construction project underway on the plant site, the District is at risk. If the District ran the risk of using the "B" side cable and it failed, it is not possible to put effluent into the ponds and a violation of the District's National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit would occur. For that reason, an emergency situation exists and Board authority for exception to the District standard bidding procedure is requested. Competitive quotes are being sought. In response to questions from Member Menesini, Mr. Batts stated that generators will be used during the connection process; however, generators would not be effective during a complete failure. It would take an extreme amount of time to fuel them and keep them running and it is unlikely that sufficient power could be generated to treat all the effluent. Mr. Aim distributed copies of the proposed resolution authorizing immediate expenditure for emergency repair. It was moved by Member Dalton and seconded by Member Menesini, that Resolution No. 93-074 be adopted, confirming that immediate expenditure for emergency is authorized. Motion unanimously approved on the following roll call vote: AYES: Members: Dalton, Menesini, Hockett, Rainey, Clausen NOES: Members: None ABSENT: Members: None It was moved by Member Rainey and seconded by Member Hockett, that staff be authorized to engage ~ contractor and that $75,000 be authorized from the Treatment 08. 05 93 168 Plant Program Contingency Account of the Capital Improvement Budget for the project for replacement of the Filter Plant, Substation No. 40, "A" side 12KV electrical feeder. Motion unanimously approved on the following roll call vote: AYES: Members: Rainey, Hockett, Menesini, Dalton, Clausen NOES: Members: None ABSENT: Members: None 10. REPORTS a. GENERAL MANAGER-CHIEF ENGINEER 08 05 1) Mr. Dolan, General Manager-Chief Engineer, stated that each year the District considers a number of solid waste service level options to comply with State law and/or to respond to community concerns. Because there has been so much change in the last few years, the Board has tried to avoid changing too many things at the same time. There are two ideas that have been around for some time that the Board may wish to consider this year. Mr. Dolan introduced Mr. Paul Morsen, Deputy General Manager, who stated that the refuse collectors are required to submit rate requests by September 15. If the Board wishes to consider different service level options it would be appropriate to advise the collectors prior to that time so that relevant information can be included in the rate applications. Mr. Morsen reviewed garbage rate-setting issues relating to mini-can service and no green waste service (townhouse service) for single family homes for the Valley Waste Management automated and non-automated areas, for the Orinda-Moraga Disposal area and for the Pleasant Hill Bayshore Disposal area. Following discussion, it was the consensus of the Board that no green waste service (townhouse service) for single family homes be considered for the Valley Waste Management automated service areas of Blackhawk, Roundhill, Danville, Alamo and the unincorporated areas, that no green waste service (townhouse service) for single family homes and mini-can service be considered for the Valley Waste Management non-automated service area of Lafayette; that mini-can service be considered for the Orinda-Moraga Disposal service area; and that mini-can service be considered for the Pleasant Hill Bayshore Disposal service area and that the collectors be asked to submit the relevant information in their rate applications. Mr. Morsen announced that former District Finance Officer Walter Funasaki will be unable to do the refuse collection rate analyses this year. The firm of Hilton Farnkopf & Hobson will be employed to perform the analyses. 2) Mr. Morsen, Deputy General Manager, stated that last year during the garbage rate-setting process, the Board instructed the collectors and District staff to find lower cost disposal alternatives. Staff is working on the disposal issues through the Central Contra Costa Solid Waste Authority (CCCSWA). In addition, objectives identified in the recent strategic planning process included developing an alternative to reduce existing garbage costs by September 30, 1993 and recommending a green waste program option to the Board by December 1993 for implementation prior to December 1994. Long-term green waste options are being pursued through CCCSWA. District staff has been working to identify interim options to the $55/ton charge at the Acme composting facility. Mr. Morsen reported that he has toured the sites and met with the staff of two sites near Modesto. The green waste disposal costs are $18/ton and $15/ton respectively. The green waste must be transported to the sites. The Davis Street transfer station has a green waste transfer facility in place. The charge at that facility is $20/ton. The total cost will be $35 to $40 per ton. It is estimated that a savings of $.70 per household per month could be realized 93 169 if green waste were directed to these sites rather than the Acme composting facility. Mr. Morsen stated that Valley Waste Management is ready to begin sending green waste to these two facilities immediately unless the Board directs otherwise. In addition, as much green waste as possible will continue to go to the Hayward site at $9/ton. The Board voiced no objection. 3) Mr. Dolan, General Manager-Chief Engineer, stated that as decided at the June 22,. 1993 strategic planning meeting, the management staff has reviewed the action items and revised the wording and dates of some of them. For the most part the modifications were to accelerate them. The Board granted a delay in the approval of the District Mission Statement to receive input from District employees. The employees' suggestions have been provided to the Board. Discussion followed concerning the Draft Mission Statement and employees' comments, particularly the concept of a diversified workforce and the need to pursue the mission of the District with the highest integrity. Following discussion, there was a consensus of Board support for adoption of the District Mission Statement as drafted and approval of the Goals and Objectives as revised by management staff. 4) Mr. Dolan, General Manager-Chief Engineer, stated that this year's budget includes funding for expansion of the District's modest public education efforts. A lot of thought has gone into the program and staff is very grateful to Member Hockett who provided entree into the school districts and leadership in developing the school program, and to Members Menesini and Rainey for their support and encouragement for the cooperative effort with the Lindsay Museum. Mr. Dolan introduced Mr. Paul Morsen, Deputy General Manager, who stated that the goals of the District's public education program are to communicate the importance of reducing problem pollutants entering the treatment plant from both residential and nonresidential sources, and to inform and educate the District community about Central San's role in protecting the environment and providing quality service. Mr. Morsen stated that four programs targeting adults and children will be implemented to accomplish these goals. The Lindsay Water Environment Display will provide a highly visible graphic presentation that communicates the importance of pollution prevention and the District's commitment to environmental preservation. The display will reach approximately 150,000 children and adults per year. The budget contains $50,000 for this program. An on-site student workshop pilot program has been designed to demonstrate the relevancy of school studies to the workplace and to actively engage students in learning about pollution prevention and the District. In 1993-1994, the Walnut Creek Intermediate School will participate in the program. One four-hour program per month during the nine-month school year will be presented. The workshops will include bioassay, computer-aid ed-drafting (CAD), chemistry, microbiology, and source control. The program will reach approximately 288 seventh and eight graders per year. The cost of staff time will be evaluated at the conclusion of the pilot program. The Central San/Lindsay Museum Classroom Presentation Program will actively engage students in learning about pollution prevention to build an understanding of what happens to "dirty water," and to teach students about Central San's critical mission of protecting the environment. The District will produce the entire presentation and support materials. The Lindsay Museum will handle the program promotion and scheduling, and will train and send its people out to give the presentations. The program will reach approximately 3,000 grade school children per year. Funding in the amount of $20,000 has been budgeted for this program. 08 93 05 170 10) 08 05 The District's Speaker's Bureau will educate and inform the community about Central San projects, fees and levels of service in an effort to build community understanding. Civic organizations, clubs, associations, and classrooms within the District's service area will be targeted. The program will initially offer two slide presentations: 1) a basic District overview; and 2) a pollution prevention/source control theme. The budget contains $500 for the slide show production. Member Menesini stated that one of the problems with slide shows is that they are not "hands on." Member Menesini suggested that some experimental apparatus be put together and shipped to the schools. Member Menesini also suggested that high school students be brought in to do "shadowing." Mr. Morsen thanked Member Menesini for the excellent ideas and indicated that they will be considered in augmenting the programs in future years. 5) Mr. Dolan, General Manager-Chief Engineer, reported that the best information available to District staff on the ad valorem tax taking is that the basis of the District's 1993-1994 Equipment Budget was correct. The District can expect to receive 60 percent of the tax that would be received on the basis of the District's historical percentage of the overall tax revenue. Absent further direction from the Board, it is staff's intention to proceed with the Equipment Budget purchases that were approved by the Board. Since the adoption of the State budget, there continues to be discussion in Sacramento about the revenue impact on enterprise and non-enterprise districts. District staff is uncertain where this will lead, but is not too optimistic that the District will be able to retain its ad valorem tax revenue in the future. Mr. Dolan stated that he will keep the Board apprised of any developments. 6) Mr. Dolan announced that the District is considering adding an additional fund management group for the Deferred Compensation Plan. ICMA offers a more attractive fixed income account, the account with the largest participation by District employees. This matter will be brought to the Board for consideration in the near future. 7) Mr. Dolan announced that Mr. James Kelly, Plant Operations Division Manager, has been asked to do some consulting work in Hungary during the week of August 23, 1993. Expenses will be paid by the World Bank. Mr. Kelly will take a five-day leave of absence to do this work. 8) Mr. Dolan announced that the District's new telephone system is operational. 9) Mr. Dolan announced that District staff is commenting on the project Environmental Impact Report (EIR) for the Country Club Development at Gale Ranch. The 1200 home development is in Dougherty Valley and lies within the ultimate service boundary of East Bay Municipal Utility District. District staff is not aware of any policy or technical reasons that would prevent service being provided by Central San. The property can be served by gravity through the Canyon Lakes system tributary to the Larwin Pumping Station. Mr. Dolan announced that the District is prequalifying tunneling subcontractors for the Pleasant Hill/A-Line Relief Interceptor Project. Twelve contractors submitted qualifications. Of those, seven appear to meet the qualifications and five do not. The contractors have been advised. The determinations regarding the prequalification of contractors will be presented to the Board for consideration at the meeting of August 19, 1993. Mr. Dolan stated that he will not be present at that meeting, but Mr. Robert Baker, Deputy Chief Engineer, will handle the matter. 93 b. 171 11 ) Mr. Dolan announced that staff is aware of the Board's interest in seeing more capital projects. A tour of the Headworks Facilities Improvement Project and the Standby Power Facility Project is planned for the August 19, 1993 Board Meeting. 12) Mr. Dolan announced that the Negative Declaration on the reclaimed water pipeline portion of the Pleasant Hill Relief Interceptor Project has been distributed and copies have been provided to the Board. The Negative Declaration covers the Shell pipeline only with regard to acquisition. It is comprehensive with regard to construction activities relative to the Pleasant Hill reclaimed water pipeline. 13) Mr. Dolan announced that the District is publicly advertising bids for the 1680/SR24 Sewer Relocations Project, Phase IV-A. The engineer's estimate is $100,000. The cost of the project will be reimbursed by Caltrans. COUNSEL FOR THE DISTRICT None c. SECRETARY OF THE DISTRICT 2) d. 1 ) The Training/Conference Summary for the period April-June 1993 was distributed and discussed. Continued publication of the California Association of Sanitation Agencies (CASA) Directory given the recent resignation of the Public Information/Graphics Coordinator was discussed. It was the consensus of the Board that the District can no longer publish the CAS A Directory. BOARD MEMBERS 1 ) 2) Member Rainey reported that the Central Contra Costa Solid Waste Authority (CCCSWA) met on July 22, 1993. A Request for Proposals for permanent disposal facilities is being developed and should be out in mid- Autumn. A Request for Proposals for long-term disposal of green waste is also in the development stages. Member Rainey reported that she and Mary Lou Oliver, CCCSWA Chair, will be meeting with Supervisors Bishop and Smith with regard to solid waste franchising in the unincorporated areas. Following discussion of the scope and purpose of the meeting with Supervisors Bishop and Smith, Member Rainey indicated that she would report back to the Board concerning the meeting. President Clausen reported that he and Members Menesini and Hockett attended the Contra Costa Solid Waste Authority/Contra Costa County workshop on roles and responsibilities for solid waste management in the County. There will be a follow-on workshop in the near future. 11. ANNOUNCEMENTS Member Rainey announced that she recently met with a small business owner who expressed concern about overregulation and the need for coordination of inspections among various agencies. Member Rainey distributed a list of agencies, regulations, fees and associated costs. Member Rainey asked that the issue of coordination of inspections among agencies be calendared for Board consideration. Member Rainey indicated that the business owner was very complimentary to the District and to Source Control Inspector Roberta Peterson. Member Hockett stated that the Economic Development Task Force of the Contra Costa Council is looking at these kInds of issues and working on monograph economic development plan as a prototype.
