At the conclusion of Mr. Dalton's presentation, Mr. Dolan stated that the basic recommendations for the District1s Financial Plan are: (1) reduction or elimination of the property tax; (2) increasing the fixture rates; and (3) placing a $6,000,000 ceiling on the "Reserve for Future Trunk Sewers". In answer to Board query regarding the methods the County would employ in showing the tax reduction, Mr. Dalton responded the tax bill would contain a notation advising the property owner of the tax reduction and that amount would then be credited against the total sum. 11 1- te"1 9' J . 1625 Mr. Dolan pointed out that it is imperative that an agreement be established with the County declaring that the property tax could be reimposed should the District find it necessary to do so. While it is true that the District has always been a pay-as-you-go agency, high rates of inflation along with the passage of Propositions 13 and 4 raise major questions concerning the appropriateness of this policy into the future. Mr. Dolan stated that a large amount of data has to be considered prior to any decision. Therefore, staff is suggesting that an outside financial consultant be contacted to expertly advise the District in the development of the Plan and give recommendations for its implementation. He added that most of the actua 1 work on the Financial Plan wi 11 be handled by the District personnel. After discussion and further explanation, it was moved by Member Stanley, seconded by Member Allan, that the Financial Plan be referred to staff for further investigation, including review by a financial consultant; and subsequently bringing the Plan back to the Board for final approval. Motion was unanimously approved. 4. RECEIVE CORRESPONDENCE REGARDING GARBAGE COLLECTION RATES Mr. Dolan, GM-CE, advised that a letter had been received from Mrs. P. Dietrich, 10 Lawton Court, San Ramon, questioning Valley Disposal's garbage rates as opposed to Livermore-Dublin Disposal Company. Staff commented that some of the cost difference was due to the fact that Valley Disposal provides a garden clipping pickup service, plus three cleanup pickups throughout the year, whereas, Livermore-Dublin Disposal does not offer this type of service. After discussion, it was moved by Member Stanley, seconded by Member Campbell, that the General Manager-Chief Engineer be instructed to reply to Mrs. Diedrich's letter, explaining the difference in service provided by Valley Disposal and Livermore-Dublin Disposal as it relates to the respective garbage collection rate. Motion was unanimously approved. VIr. NEW BUSINESS ACCEPTANCE OF EASEMENTS AT NO COST TO THE DISTRICT AND ADOPTION OF RESPECTIVE RESOLUTIONS AND AUTHORIZE RECORDING 1.

SMITH, Construction Technician (Claims Analyst), Range 72-B, $2,007, effective 1/2/80, new hire b. Mr. Dolan summarized the Managers Report for the month of November. Collection System Engineering and Services (1) The majority of the work was completed on the outfall repair project. The tie-in of the new section was scheduled for November 6, 1979 and was completed on November 9,1979. (2) Design continued on the north Walnut Creek (WS 23) trunk sewer parallel and the Grayson Road bypass. (3) Evaluations are being made on the adequacy of trunk sewer capacities and the need for upgrading existing systems in the various watersheds. (4) The number of new connections for this year is running ahead of last year's total. Collection System Operations (1) A project replacing 1,500 ft. of 6-inch pipeline is underway on Scenic Drive in Orinda. (2) The sewer cleaning section chemically treated 18,194 feet of root lines in the Walnut Creek area. (3) Over 44,000 feet of pipelines were inspected via TV in October, 37,500 of this total was new construction. (4) 2,000 feet of the original 72" Outfall pipe in the vicinity of the repair was inspected while Con co had the line pumped down for tie-ins. The 72" pipe line is in excellent condition. Plant Operations (1) The treatment plant received an average daily flow of 31.07 MGD with a daily maximum flow of 35.3 MGD and a minimum of 27.9 MGD. There was a total of 1.34 inches of rainfall which did not affect the flow into the plant. (2) There were no major failures of plant equipment or treatment processes which affected effluent quality. The final effluent discharged to the receiving water had average characteristics of BOD, 2 mg/l; suspended solids, 3 mgll for an average removal of 99.1 per cent and 99.3 per cent respectively. (3) There were four non-zero chlorine residuals recorded this month. These non-zero readings are attributed to malfunctions in the chlorine residual analytical equipment. (4) The major maintenance activities this month were concentrated on preparation of the plant for wet weather flow, preventive maintenance, and the performance of work orders. The plant operated on the temporary boiler for the full month and repair work on the plant's auxiliary steam system is progressing. c. Mr. Dolan advised that work on the steamline should be completed by the middle of December. d. Mr. Dolan reported on the outfall project. On Tuesday, November 6, effluent flow of the plant was diverted into the Holding Basins to accommodate the tie-in of the new section of outfall pipe. The contractor installed plugs in the line to permit tie-in work, but the plugs failed and as a result he had to pump down the entire line. Tie-in work was not completed until Friday of that week. ]~ J 1 r-: tj'Q , , " ; 1631 Dr. Clark Weddle, Deputy Chief Engineer, noted that we were able to store 30 MG in the clear well and Pond A was completely filled. Mr Dolan pointed out that the Operations Department performed extremely well in responding to the needs. He also complimented Jay McCoy, Manager- Collection System Engineering and Services Division, and his staff, on the excellent performance they displayed on this project. Dr. Weddle commented that Conca Company, the contractor for the project, proved to be most satisfactory and demonstrated methodology that had not been previously applied in that particular soil condition area. e. Mr. Dolan reported that there have been no new developments on the proposed Administration Building. He reported that there have been changes in the proposed building for the Construction Division. In previous discussion, it was mentioned that the building would be constructed with the intention of converting the structure to a maintenance facility at a future date. However, the Construction Division intends to use the proposed building for a minimum of 4-5 years, which would be too long to wait for a maintenance facility. Furthermore, the preferred location for this facility is not a good location for a maintenance building. The District would include this building in its long term space planning. There is a small parcel of land adjacent to the western boundary of the Treatment Plant site, which is owned by the County that would be a suitable site for the proposed building. Since the location of that site is such that it would not interfere with Plant operations, the building could be sold or leased at some point in the future, if the District found no further need for the structure. f. Mr. Dolan advised that the status of completion of 5A-I would be discussed at a special meeting in the future. 2. COUNSEL FOR THE DISTRICT a. Mr. Carniato requested that an executive session be called at the end of the meeting. b. Mr. Carniato advised that he would be unable to attend the meeting of December 6,1979 because he would be out of the Country. 3. SECRETARY None 4. COMMITTEES None IX. MATTERS FROM THE FLOOR a.
