AUTHORIZATION TO PURCHASE VEHICLES AT LOWEST BIDS
,/
Staff is requesting authorization to accept the low bids and purchase
the respective vehicles from Don Young Ford and Parker-Robb Chevrolet.
Mr. Hinkson, Manager-Maintenance Department explained that, under
Item E, the District wishes to retain the 1970 Impala rather than trade
it in. The trade-in allowance quoted by Parker-Robb was $500. However,
if the trade-in is withdrawn they have stated that we will have to add
the allowance ($500) plus $200 ($700 total) to their bid price, which
will still make Parker-Robb low bidder on Item E.
After discussion, it was moved by Member Rustigian, seconded by
Member Allan, that the District accept the low vehicle bids from Don
Young Ford and Parker-Robb Chevrolet, allowing Parker-Robb an additional
$200 in lieu of proposed trade-in for Item E. Motion carried by the

WASTEWATER RECLAMATION STUDY
Mr. Dolan, General Manager-Chief Engineer, advised that this agreement
is being presented to the Board for consideration as to whether the
District should continue as a member of this study group. Mr. Dolan was
of the opinion that it is important for the District to take an active

San. EBMUD is the lead agency (handling the financial and personnel
matters); the leadership for the study will be provided by the Policy
Board. Central Sanls share of the cost will be approximately $20,000.
Mr. Dalton, Deputy General Manager-Chief Engineer, stated that if
the District does not participate, it could effect grant funding of any
future CCCSD Reclamation Projects. The Board expressed a general
concurrance with the idea of continued participation in the proposed
study, but requested that Mr. Dolan investigate the proposed $65,000
contribution to the revolving fund with the objective of reducing that
figure.

REPORTS
1.
GENERAL MANAGER-CHIEF ENGINEER
a. Mr. Dolan summarized on District activity for the month of
September.
Engineering Department: (1) Substantial progress has been made on
the 1001/" scale maps. (2) One of the major trunk sewer projects for 77-
78 (Oak Park Blvd.) is under contract, and the other (San Ramon Summit)
will be ready for contract next month. (3) The connections for September
177 were lower than they were for the same period last year.
Maintenance Department: (1) Stoppages are down from last year at
this time. (2) Sewer footages cleaned in September were 172,0001 with
76,0001 done by the hydro-flush machines using reclaimed water. (3)
T.V. inspected 28,000 ft. of new sewer lines. (4) The Maintenance
Department is studying odor problems related to grease interceptors.
Plant Operations Department: The Plant has been maintaining its
operation during construction and the startup of new elements of the 5A~
Phase I construction in cooperation with the Contractor. New components
which have been put into operation are in the sludge centrifuge system,
auxiliary boilers, chlorination and dechlorination systems, main plant
air and the radio-paging system.
b. Mr. Dolan asked if the Board wished to comment on the ABAG
Environmental Report which was given to the Board several meetings ago.
Discussion followed.
c. Mr. Dolan stated that correspondence has been received from Lee
Saylor providing a draft plan of the cost estimate to bring in a new
contractor to finish the Peterson-Simpson job. He has not had the
opportunity to review the correspondence and will be reporting further
to the Board on this matter.
d. Mr. Dolan advised that the replacement for Mr. Charles Daniels,
Civil Engineering Assistant II, who retired last September, can be
brought in at the lower level, of Civil Engineering Assistant I. Staff
will be coming back to the Board for authorization to establish an
Eligibility List.
e. In the Plant start-up, the chemical polymer we have found to be
most effective in dewatering sludge, costs 20~ per lb. in 55 gal. drums.
About 300 lbs. of polymer is required to generate one ton of dewatered
sludge, which is costing the District approximately $1,400 per day.
This polymer is available in tank car lots at a cost of approximately
16~ per lb., which will result in a savings of around $300 per day and
a car will last about eleven days. We will not have to use this process
for very long.

1156
f. Mr. Dolan stated that a letter has been received from Mr.
Wasserman of Bechtel reiterating their position denying a State audit.
Mr. Dolan intends to meet with the State and explain to them that our
contract with Bechtel was entered into in 1971-72, at which time guidelines,
now effective, were non-existent, and therefore, are not applicable to
this contract.
2.
COUNSEL FOR THE DISTRICT
a. Mr. Carniato reviewed for the new Board Members the history
of the Deferred Compensation Plan. We have now settled upon a plan,
similar to that of the City of Santa Maria, which requires the employee
to make a contribution directly from his salary to the plan before he is
eligible to participate. This plan meets with the approval of IRS.
After discussion, it was moved by Member Allan, seconded by Member
Rustigian, that the CCCSD Employees Deferred Compensation Plan be adopted.
Before voting on this issue, Board Members queried as to the consequences
if it becomes mandatory that the employees participate in the social
security system. Would the District then be liable for double contributions.
Member Carlson stated that it should be written into the resolution
that the District would not be liable for double contributions should
social security become mandatory.
Mr. Carniato stated that he would take this matter up with the
Employees Committee and explain the Boardls concern. Members Allan and
Rustigian withdrew their motion.
b. Mr. Carniato requested that the Board reserve time for a short
executive session at the November 3 meeting regarding the Peterson-
Simpson claim.

SECRETARY
None.

COMMITTEES
Member Allan advised that he has had correspondence from Mike
Dillon regarding PL 92-500, which is a bill negotiating changes to the
Federal Water Pollution Control Act and also a measure which will require
social security changes for all Federal, State and public employees.
After discussion, President Boneysteele requested Mr. Dolan to draft a
letter regarding social security stating that the Government Agencies
were not included in the social security system because they had their
own retirement plans.
b. Mr. Dolan, General-Manager-Chief Engineer, read a letter drafted
for President Boneysteele's signature which stated the District's
support of PL 92-500, a bill which would allow public agencies to use
ad-valorem taxes to defray operating and maintenance costs. Board
instructed Mr. Dolan to send the same letter to Senator Edmund Muskie,
Senator, Cranston, Senator Hayakawa and Congressman Miller.
IX.
MATTERS FROM THE FLOOR

changes in its structure with regard to Board and Committees.
b. President Boneysteele noted that Mr. Dolan, General Manager-
