OLD BUSINESS
ESTABLISHING LOCAL IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT PROCEDURES
Board Members, staff, Mr. John Bohn, Counsel for the District,
Mr. Jerry Laster, representing Mr. Ernest A. Wilson, Special Counsel
for the District, and Mr. Gene Green, from the County Health Department,
discussed at length District procedures for establishing Proposed Sewering
Areas CP.S.A.s) and for establishing Local Improvement Districts.
In response to a query by President Allan, Mr. Laster stated that,
in the event the County Health Department has issued a Health Officer's
Certificate of Necessity, a four-fifths majority of the Board is necessary
to overrule a majority protest. Mr. Laster further indicated that any
action taken by the Board is discretionary.
Mr. Bohn, Counsel for the District, presented to the Board Members
and staff for discussion a proposed notice to be sent to property owners
alerting them that a P.S.A. is to be formed. Mr. Bohn indicated adoption
of a notice procedure would facilitate staff engineering efforts and permit
early notification to Board Members of P.S.A.s being formed.
Board Members and staff then discussed with Mr. Green the feasibility
of adopting a contractual form which was to be recordable to replace petitions
signed by property owners requesting sewer service. Mr. Bohn was requested to
prepare such a form.
Board Members and staff discussed Board Policy on holding preliminary
hearings on L.I.D.s. Member Gibbs indicated that, if a health problem is
said to exist, holding a preliminary hearing is redundant. Member Mitchell
stated he is hesitant to omit preliminary hearings because they are informa-
tional to the public.
After further discussion, Mr. Horstkotte requested authorization to
proceed with P.S.A.s 29, 71 and 94 for formation of L.I.D.s in 1972.

With the specific understanding that the County Health Department
would not issue temporary permits for septic tanks within these areas of
the District without prior commencement of Local Improvement District pro-
ceedings and with the staff understanding that Board policy on establishing
Local Improvement District procedures has not been changed, it was moved by
Member Mitchell, seconded by Member Gibbs, that authorization be granted to
staff to proceed with Proposed Sewering Areas 29, 71 and 94 for the formation
of Local Improvement Districts in 1972. Carried by the following vote:

SEWER SERVICE CHARGE INVESTIGATION AND REVIEW OF ESTABLISHED SOURCES OF REVENUE
Utilizing charts and memorandum presented to the Board Members, Mr.
Horstkotte explained the scope and impact of proposed service charges upon
property owners within the area previously selected for sewer charge investi-
gation. Discussion followed, after which District sources of revenue were
discussed. Member Boneysteele stated that the purpose of depreciation is for
recovery of plant, not replacement, and that action should be taken to reflect
this in the State of California Health and Safety Code. It was the consensus
of the Board that Mr. Horstkotte would apprise the State Water Resources
Control Board of the problem and that a proposal for legislative action
would be suggested for consideration by the California Association of Sani-
tary Agencies.
Board Members and staff then discussed the fixture multiple charge and
the elective fixtures charge and their application. Mr. Horstkotte stated
the sewer service charge was the critical item and outlined a proposed sche-
dule of necessary steps to permit its implementation. Mr. Horstkotte stated
that adoption of the service charge would permit the District more flexibility
in its financing programs.
After consensus of the Board that staff may consider applying a 25 per
cent ($6.00 per year) standby charge to all unimproved parcels of land, it
was agreed that the Board would review the entire District revenue program
at a meeting on March 8, 1972.
ADDITIONAL INSURANCE COVERAGE FOR DISTRICT EMPLOYEES AND BOARD MEMBERS
After explanation by Mr. Horstkotte, General Manager-Chief Engineer, it
was moved by Member Boneysteele, seconded by Member Mitchell, that additional
life insurance coverage for Directors, General Manager-Chief Engineer, and,
Counsel for the District be increased to $25,000.00; for Department Manager
be increased to $15,000.00, and for all other District employees, be increased

CORRESPONDENCE FROM MR. THOMAS KLAUS RE:
DIVISION 2470, ORINDA
WARFORD MESA UNIT NO.2, SUB-
Mr. Horstkotte, General Manager-Chief Engineer, explained that Mr. Klaus
had inquired if certain conditions of an unsigned 1967 contract between the
District and T. J. Bettes Co., now in bankruptcy, still prevailed concerning
Warford Mesa, Unit No.2, Subdivision 2470, Orinda. Mr. Horskotte stated'
that the subdivider had installed a sewer line with attendant pumping facilities
to permit development of the property. After such installation, it was proposed
that the District would assume maintenance and operation of the system for an
annual charge to be levied against each piece of property.
As the sewer line with attendant pumping facilities has not been placed
in operation or maintained since installation in 1967, Mr. Horstkotte recom-
mended that staff be authorized to negotiate new terms and conditions under
which District would assume responsibility for maintenance and operation of
the system.
It was the consensus of the Board that Mr. Horstkotte's recommendation
be accepted.

REPORTS
COMMITTEES
Members Boneysteele and Mitchell stated the Personnel Committee had
nothing to report. However, Member Mitchell noted the agenda for the
February 17, 1972, meeting contained two matters on personnel. Member
Mitchell requested staff to advise the Personnel Committee on all proposed
personnel matters prior to placement on the agenda.
GENERAL MANAGER-CHIEF ENGINEER
Mr. Horstkotte reported in detail on his recent visit to Washington,
D.C. on District matters and prominent individuals of government contacted.
Mr. Horstkotte stated Dr. Robert Dean of the E.P.A. planned a visit to the
Bay Area on March 16 and 17, 1972. Dr. Dean has expressed an interest in
partial government financing of the District's Advanced Treatment Test
Facility and would like to meet individual Members of the Board.
After discussion, it was agreed that Mr. Horstkotte would attempt to
arrange a dinner with Dr. Dean on March 17 at 7:00 o'clock P.M.
Mr. Horstkotte reported that the Martinez pump stations were now opera-
tional, operating on a test basis. He indicated that it was planned that
District personnel man the installation after one week and that, subsequently,
the installation would revert to a twenty-four hour automatic operation.
In response to a query from Member Mitchell, Mr. Horstkotte explained
that approval of grant funds at the State level assured approval at the
Federal level. Further, while the need for denitrification by industry
is currently debatable, in Mr. Horstkotte's opinion, nutrient removal will
be necessary by 1976.
COUNSEL FOR THE DISTRICT
Mr. Bohn reported to the Board Members on the current status of the
Aiken vs. Sanitary District litigation. Mr. Bohn stated the case will be
appealed regardless of decision.
Mr. James Carniato introduced Mr. Robert Wentz, Trademark Homes, Inc.
Mr. Carniato explained that Mr. Wentz was requesting District authority to
pave over a District easement on St. Mary's Road, Moraga.
