ADOPT RESOLUTION PROVIDING FOR COLLECTION OF EQC ON TAX ROLL It was moved by Member Rustigian, seconded by Member Carlson, that a resolution providing for the collection of EQC on the County tax roll be adopted. RESOLUTION NO. 77-199, A RESOLUTION PROVIDING FOR THE COLLECTION OF EQC ON THE COUNTY TAX ROLL Motion carried by the following vote: AYES: NOES: ABSENT: Members: Members: Member: Campbell, Carlson, Rustigian, Allan and Boneysteele None None 2. BOND COUNSEL REPORT TO THE BOARD ON THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE FORMATION OF LOCAL IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT Mr. Jerry Laster, District Bond Counsel, addressed the Board and those in the audience on the procedure that must be taken in order to form a Local Improvement District. A preliminary hearing is held at first to consider whether or not it would be feasible to sewer the proposed area under LID proceedings. At that hearing an engineer's report, a cost estimate, and signed petitions representing 75% of the assessed evaluation should be presented. The statute requires that only 60% of the land area petition for the LID, however, it is the District's policy to require 75% of assessed valuation to petition the District for a LID as criteria establishing that the particular area is ready for sewering. Once the above conditions have been met and the Board has determined that a LID should be established, the District is to notify each of the property owners within the proposed improvement area that a hearing will be held, required to be within 30 days of date of notice. At the hearing a number of determinations would be made to ascertain whether or not the LID should be approved. There are also EIR requirements that must be met as part of the District's obligation. 3. PROPOSED FAIRWAY ANNEXATION AND LID - MR. URBAN PROPONENT Mr. Urban, a property owner in Fairway Acres, addressed the Board and described the area proposed for annexation and possible LID. He stated that after examining the costs of putting in a sewer, it was decided to investigate the formation of a Local Improvement District. The District was contacted and he was advised of the procedures to follow. Five of the seven owners have signed and submitted petitions for annexation, which represent 67% of the assessed valuation. In answer to query from the audience, Mr. Laster, Bond Counsel, stated that those who are against the formation of the LID, may be included against their will if no way can be found to omit them from the proceedings. Mr. Urban stated that the proponents propose to hire an engineer and attorney, design a system to be approved by the District, possibly even go to public bid, and then request the District to annex the area and form a LID. The proponents would pay all fees and costs, including EIR, and expect to be reimbursed out of the LID proceedings. Mr. Carniato, District Counsel, asked Mr. Laster if there would be any problems spreading this cost among property owners unwilling to be included in the LID. Mr. Laster replied that there should be no problem since this work is required as part of the LID proceeding. Mr. Carniato asked if this could be a rebate line. instead of a LID financed line. Mr. Dolan, General Manager-Chief Engineer, replied that the standard size lines would be adequate to serve the maximum growth of the area and no rebate would be anticipated. 08 04 71 1095 Mr. Dolan presented the following alternatives the Board could take on the matter: (1) In the absence of 75% of assessed valuation signed, turn down the request for annexation and LID; (2) Not to hold to the 75% requirement, do the engineering and legal work necessary to form the LID in the area, and if the LID fails, the District would be responsible for costs incurred; and (3) defer Board action and have the proponents do the required work towards a LID and make a District determination in the future. President Boneysteele asked if there was anyone wishing to speak in opposition to this project. Speaking in opposition were Mr. Bertero and Dr. Dudley. President Boneysteele pointed out to those involved, that the District cannot assure annexation in light of the Treatment Plant flow capacity. Discussion followed. Mr. Dolan, General Manager-Chief Engineer, suggested that it would be appropriate for Mr. Urban to (1) request annexation; (2) proceed with engineering and develop a reliable cost estimate; and (3) come back to the Board with final cost estimate. After further discussion, the Board deferred action on the matter and delegated the responsibility to Mr. Dolan, General Manager-Chief Engineer, to determine at which point this matter should come back to the Board. It was then moved by Member Rustigian, seconded by Member Carlson, that the Board defer any action on the LID request until after the proponents have completed engineering plans, specifications and EIR and that the proponents should come back to the Board with their request when costs have been determined. Motion carried by the following vote: AYES: NOES: ABSENT: Members: Member: Members: Campbell, Carlson, Rustigian and Boneysteele Allan None At 9:03 P.M., President Boneysteele declared a recess. At 9:11 P.M., President Boneysteele reconvened the meeting. REQUEST FOR RECONSIDERATION OF ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY CHARGE FOR MULTIPLE RESIDENTIAL PROPERTIES 4. Mr. Hoff of Consolidated Capital addressed the Board regarding the Environmental Quality Charge as it relates to multiple residential properties and in particular the Northridge Apartment Complex in Pleasant Hill. He claimed that the charge for apartments is excessive and should not be on the same basis as a single family residence, since an apartment dwellers do not create as much sewage discharge. As a result of an error in the number of units, the Northridge Complex was billed for $5,000+ rather than $15,000+ for the EQC. Since it is so late in their budget year, Mr. Hoff requested that the Board waive the additional amount being billed by the District and that they reconsider the EQC in relation to apartments. Mr. Carniato, District Counsel, stated that he has reviewed the matter and finds no reason why the Board is under compulsion to grant the requested waiver, and it would be inappropriate under our Ordinance. Mr. Dolan, General Manager-Chief Engineer, stated that apartments may very well generate as much wastewater as single family residences and recommended that a study be made. After discussion, it was the consensus of the Board to accept staff's recommendation to undertake a study to determine what the relationship is between the waste water generated by apartments vs. single family home. Study will be contingent upon the end of the drought and return to normal water usage. 08 04 77 1096 The Board declined to provide the requested relief to Mr. Hoff on the billing error. 5. ADOPT RESOLUTION RESCINDING RESOLUTION NO. 77-182, A RESOLUTION APPOINTING DAVID ANDERSON TO THE POSITION OF MAINTENANCE CREW MEMBER I Mr. Dolan, General Manager-Chief Engineer, explained that because of Mr. Anderson's failure to pass the District physical examination, he could not be hired. After discussion, it was moved by Member Allan, seconded by Member Carlson, that a resolution rescinding Resolution No. 77-182 be adopted. ~JSOLUIION NO. 77-200, A RESOLUTION RESCINDING RESOLUTION NO. 77-182 A RESOLUTION APPOINTING DAVID ANDERSON TO THE POSITION OF MAINTENANCE CREW MEMBER I Motion carried by the following vote: AYES: Members: Campbell, Carlson, Rustigian, Allan and Beoneysteele NOES: Members: None ABSENT: Members: None VII.

Mr. Dolan informed the Board that he has been approached by Gregory Gardens Water District for sewer service to receive filter backwãsh from their water treatment facilít1es. President Boneysteele indicated that if this District agrees to accept the backwash water it would be advisable to enter into a contract with the Water District, which stipulates a termination date for the service and provides for a significant increase in cost for service beyond that date. b. Mr. Dolan informed the Board Members that the Treatment Plant tour in executive session on August 6, 1977 would begin at 10:00 A.M. 2. COUNSEL FOR THE DISTRICT Mr. Carniato advised that he would be discussing the Peterson- Simpson litigation at the August 6 executive session, and Mr. Bohn, Special Counsel for the District, will discuss the Fred J.

Member Allan expressed concern over the Federal Clean Water Act which had just been voted out of Senate Committee. Mr. Dolan explained that there are several issues in dispute between the House and Senate which are being considered by a joint Committee. If an extension of the Act is not granted by September 30, 1977, federal grant funding authority will expire. It would not be possible to receive any State financing since it is contingent upon Federal money. There is a State bond election scheduled to provide additional State money. b. Member Allan stated that he understood there is legislation being considered to have Sanitary Districts authorize septic tanks. Mr. Dolan stated this would be considered at the CASA meeting. X.
