REPORT ON PROPERTY OWNERSHIPS RELATING TO FIXTURE CHARGE PAYMENTS
AND ORDINANCE 97 (WHITT REQUEST)
Mr. Horstkotte, General Manager-Chief Engineer, stated that as per Board
instructions, staff had researched the matter further and developed the
information indicated on the position paper, which is divided into three
ca tegories.
Category I includes those properties whose present owner of record had
paid off the account before Ordinance 97 was passed. Category II includes
those properties for which ownership has changed since the account was paid
off. Category III includes those properties for which ownership or property
location cannot be verified. Owners wo.uld be eligible for refunds in
proportion to the amount of money each had paid into a particular account.
President Boneystee1e summarized the matter and then asked the Board
Members for their opinion. Member Rustigian commented that we should try
to rectify Category I. Mr. Horstkotte stated that should the Board opt to
make some adjustments, an Ordinance would have to be ad~pted changing the
District Code.
Member Mitchell commented that the Ordinance should only encompass
Category I.
Mr. Bohn, Counsel for the District, stated that there would be no
legal questions in this matter as justifications are clear in Category I,
whereas we have no.facts in the other two categories.
It was the consensus of the Board that staff prepare an Ordinance to
be presented to the Board at the next meeting.

AUTHORIZATION OF PREPARATION OF EIR/EIS TREATMENT PLANT EXPANSION 5B
Mr. Horstkotte, General Manager-Chief Engineer, explained to the Board
the reason for this Agenda item.
At the time authorization was given to J. B. Gilbert & Associates to
prepare an EIR/EIS for the Treatment Plant Expansion 5B, the figure of
$l30,OOO was in the Minutes as being authorized, rather than the correct
amount of $135,000.
Mr. Horstkotte also informed the Board that Mr. Perry Schaffer, of
J. B. Gilbert and Associates, had contacted him and stated that the EPA
is now requesting an additional investigation, that being an archeological
and historical study, and estimates the cost to be an addi~ional $10,000.
Mr. Horstkotte then presented to the Board a copy of a Sunday supplement,
published by Scholl & Company for the purpose of informing the public about a
project similar to ours, and they would like the District to initiate a
similar Public Participation Program. The cost of a similar supplement would
be $5,000.
After discussion, Member Mitchell moved to revise the authorization for
the preparation of an EIR/EIS for Treatment Plant Expansion 5B from $130,000
to $l35,OOO. Motion failed for lack of second.
President Boneysteele stated that he felt an archeological and historical
study was necessary but the participation program would not be.
It was moved by Member Allan, seconded by Member Rustigian, that $145,000
be authorized for the preparation of an EIR/EIS for the Treatment Plant
Expansion 5B I & II, to include only prior authorizations, and authorization
for an archeological and historical study. Motion carried by the following

GENERAL MANAGER-CHIEF ENGINEER
a. The Water District has requested a meeting with the Negotiating

DSP 2571, Diablo Road, Danvil1e.
c. Mr. Horstkotte advised the Board on the status of PSA 70, Camino
Las Juntas Area, Pleasant Hill. Homeowners were polled by letter as to
whether they wanted the District to proceed with the proposed assessment
district. All owners responded and were 56.6% in favor of continuing the
project, 75% being our usual requirement. Under these circumstances, he
does not favor continuing with the proposed assessment district at this
time and the Board concurred.
d. Treatment Plant - Plant construction is proceeding in good fashion.

the contract time elapsed, while Phase II has 85% of the contract valuation
paid, with approximately 84.7% of the time elapsed.

b. Mr. Bohn reminded the Board that a meeting of the Board of Supervisors
of Contra Costa County would be held on March 9, 1976, at ~lhich time the
matter of the County Solid Waste Plan would be discussed. Mr. Bohn requested
an expression from the Board as to whether he should appear and speak regarding
the plan, and if so, the position he should take on behalf of the Central Contra
Costa Sanitary District.
After a brief discussion, the consensus of the Board was that Mr. Bohn
should appear before the Board of Supervisors on March 9, 1976, and speak briefly
in regard to the Plan. Mr. Bohn was directed to thank the Board of Supervisors
for their cooperation with the Central Contra Costa Sanitary District; also to
point out that it seems premature for the Board of Supervisors to create any
administration or financing agency to administer a County Solid Waste Plan
until such time that the success of the Central Contra Costa Sanitary District
program for the conversion of solid waste into energy can be determined.
The Board also recognized that there was a proposal before the Supervisors,
to create an interim committee to evolve an administrative and financing plan
for handling of the solid waste plan in Contra Costa County. It was understood
that at present such an interim committee would include representatives of
cities and sanitary districts only and would not include representatives
from the garbage collectors (which the collectors contend is required by SB5)
or any other outside organizations. This will be controversial and Mr. Bohn
was instructed not to take sides in the controversy, except to point out that
since there is no urgency to adopt a final administrative plan and the
Directors of the Central Contra Costa Sanitary District believe that an
interim committee should be broadened to include representation from the.
collectors so that the final decisions will represent a consensus of all
interested parties.
c. Mr. Horstkotte mentioned, as a matter of information, that Kaiser
Sand & Gravel is planning to sue Dillingham regarding concrete requirements,
who may in turn bring suit against the District.
d. President Boneysteele queried Mr. Bohn as to whether there had been
any word from Mr. Peter Knoedler regarding his remittance for the Candidate's
Statement. Mr. Bohn stated that to date he had not heard from Mr. Knoedler.
After discussion, it was moved by Member Allan, seconded by Member Mitchell,
that John A. Bohn, Counsel for the District, be authorized to institute
. proceedings against Peter Knoedler in the amount of $435. Motion carried by
