IV. HEARINGS None. V. BIDS None. Before proceeding with the Agenda, President Boneysteele asked if there was anyone in the audience wishing to be heard. - Mr. Horstkotte, General Manager-Chief Engineer, requested that the chair digress from the Agenda to "IX. MATTERS FROM THE FLOOR" so that Mr. David Eisenhauer of Brown and Caldwell could address the Board. IX. MATTERS FROM THE FLOOR a. Mr. David Eisenhauer from Brown and Caldwell, presented a gift plaque to the Board in recognition of the patent invented by Denny Parker of Brown and Caldwell, which is held by the District for public use, dealing with the denitrification system for the Advanced Treatment Test Facility. Mr. Horstkotte, General Manager-Chief Engineer, commented that a sig- nificant advance has been made through the joint efforts of the District and Brown and Caldwell and that Mr. Eisenhauer should also be commended for this achievement. Mr. Dalton, Deputy General Manager-Chief Engineer, requested that the Board take up "VII. NEW BUSINESS, Item 5". VII. NEW BUSINESS AUTHORIZE THREE PARCELS (P.A. 76-19, 20 AND 21) TO BE CONSIDERED IN PENDING ANNEXATION 5. t1aking a presentation on behalf of the annexation was Mr. Bob Carrau. Mr. Carrau stated they had requested annexation of this property from Valley Community Services District and were informed that service to this property should be provided by the Central Contra Costa Sanitary District. The property has not been presented before the San Ramon Planning Group until it is determined whether an EIR is required, but they will anticipate 'a negative declaration. Mr. Horstkotte explained that the Board had previously turned down the annexation because it wanted to keep the District's southern boundary at its ,present position. Everything that we annex in this area requires pumping. Mr. Roy Towers from Gelderman, Inc., explained that the property is contiguous to the boundary where the sewer ends and that this would be the last point of gravity flow. Mr. Horstkotte, General Manager-Chief Engineer, replied that it would be gravity flow only to the Larwin Pump Station. Member Mitchell voiced that it would be hazardous to consider anything further south due to the limitations being placed on the treatment plant expansion and questioned the validity of a negative declaration and asked staff to review the status of the County's Environmental Assessment. 08 26 76 861 After further discussion, it was the consensus of the Board that before any consideration could be given to the annexation of P.A. 76-19 and 20, there would have to be an open hearing. However, this cannot be done until the outcome of the EPA Hearing on the EIR/EIS which determines whether the treatment plant facility will qualify for an additional 15 MGD. Therefore, the Board can only consider the overall problem of the District's southern boundary after the outcome of the EIR/EIS Hearing on September 30,1976, for increasing the treatment plant capacity for handling the increased waste- water flows and advised that Mr. Carrau and Mr. Tower check back with staff in mid October. Upon staff recommendation, it was moved by Member Rustigian, seconded by Member Mitchell, that P.A. 76-19, Danville, 1.43 acre single family parcel be approved. Motion carried by the following vote: AYES: NOES: ABSENT: Members: Members: Member: Gibbs, Mitchell, Rustigian and Boneysteele None Allan (excused) President Boneysteele reverted to the order of the Agenda.

Bids were received from four suppliers ranging from a low of .32l3/gal. to a high of .3257/ga1. for a 1.4 percent spread. All bidders' prices were only, for this initial 390,000 gallons and any future deliveries will be subject to price changes.

Mr. Horstkotte reported that the electricians' strike is over and work is once again proceeding on the Phase I and II Projects. 08 26 76 868 d.
