GENERAL MANAGER-CHIEF ENGINEER

had attended the two-day factory test of the Water Reclamation Plant Computer
System in Sacramento. Mr. Niles reviewed the events of the test session for
the Board Members.
b. Mr. Horstkotte stated that at a previous meeting, the Board
authorized Mr. Dalton, Deputy General ~1anager-Chief Engineer, to attend a
factory witness test at Taney town , PA on specific dates. However, he is
now requesting that the dates and attendance be kept variable, since the dates
of the tests are changing and the staff member attending may not be the same
person. Board Members were agreeable to this request.
c. Mr. Horstkotte reported that he had met with the State to determine
what could be done on their part to accelerate review and approval of our
Project 5B, Phase I.
Mr. Horstkotte has been informed by our consultants, J. B. Gilbert and
Herman Ruth, that chapters of the EIR/EIS submitted to the EPA for review
have not been returned and indicated a general lack of communication from
EPA. Mr. Gilbert also mentioned that the EPA may request a VMT restudy.
Mr. Horstkotte and Hr. Dalton are scheduled to meet with the State Water
Resource Control Board staff in Sacramento to discuss these matters and determine
if the review period for Stage 5A can be shortened to assist us in meeting our
completion date of September 1977.
, d. Mr. Horstkotte introduced Mr. Clay Kallam, who will be replacing
Mr. Don McCormack as the District's public relations consultant on the same
financial basis as had been authorized for Mr. McCormack.
Member Mitchell stated that Mr. Kallam should understand that this is a
temporary authorization and the position does not fall under the Civil Service
system.
Board Members voiced no objections to Mr. Kallam's assuming Mr. McCormack's
position.
e. We have prepared a draft public relations newspaper advertisement and
as soon as EPA clears the way, Mr. Horstkotte will present it to the Board for
authorization.

COUNSEL FOR THE DISTRICT

Management Plan involving the endorsement of the Central Contra Costa Sanitary

Informational material will be needed from Brown and Caldwell, who will assist
us in this matter.
We will file our petition with the PUC after we receive a letter from the
State and the material from Brown and Caldwell.

a waiver from the State for the Contract between the District and Concord
