Mr. Sparacino stated thát he wanted to bring the District Board up to
date on what the Martinez Sewer Study Committee was doing.
Mr. Sparacino stated his Committee had met with Mr. Horstkotte and Mr.
Dalton, which resulted in a letter dated March 23,1967, setting forth tenta-
tive contract conditions.
Mr. Sparacino stated that the Martinez Maintenance District had retained
M. C. Yoder & Associates and Uniconsult to make a study to determine whether
to expand the present plant, build a new plant, join with Mt. View Sanitary
District or to join or contract with Central Contra Costa Sanitary District.
Mr. Sparacino stated that the Sewer Study Committee will be open-minded
on all proposals.
Mr. Sparacino requested that the District staff be permitted to work with
M. C. Yoder & Associates.
Mr. Sparacino asked if the District would participate with funds and if
the District would enter into a contract.
It was the consensus of the Board that:
1. The letter from the District staff, dated March 23,1967, was not
concurred in by the Board and should not be used as a basis for any studies
by the City or its consultants.
2. Although existing records and studies were and intend to be fully
available to the City and its consultants, any further work or study by the
Central Contra Costa Sanitary District staff could not be granted without
prior contracted agreement at an agreed upon fee to the District.
Reasons for these stipulations were discussed in detail by various Board
Members. Further participation by the Central Contra Costa Sanitary District
in Martinez sewering projects would be dependent on studies made at the City of
Martinez' expense.
ADDITIONAL WORK AT TREATMENT PLANT PROPOSED BY BROWN AND CALDWELL, ENGINEERS
Mr. Dalton, representing Mr. Horstkotte, General Manager-Chief Engineer,
stated the Board Members had received copies of the letter from Brown and
Caldwell suggesting additional work be done at the Treatment Plant to take
advantage of Federal funds left over from the recent Treatment Plant Enlarge-
ment - 1967 work. He stated it was a staff recommendation to proceed with
the work on a change order basis as soon as plans are complete and final
Federal approval received.
The estimated cost of the additional work is $168,000.00 on a one-third
Federal funds, two-thirds District funds basis.
After discussion, it was moved by Member Rustigian, seconded by Member
Allan, that the President and Secretary be authorized to execute the agreement
presented with Brown and Caldwell's letter of April 14, 1967, for engineering
of extra work at the Treatment Plant as set forth in said letter. Carried by

PRESSURE TESTING OF 72-INCH OUTFALL
Mr. Dalton, representing Mr. Horstkotte, General Manager-Chief Engineer,
requested authorization to make pressure tests on the Outfall line. The
reason for the tests is to determine the ability of the Outfall line to stand
pressure.
Mr. Dalton explained that during the January storm, for a short period,
a daily flow rate of 120 million gallons entered the Treatment Plant. He
stated the capacity of the Outfall line was 65 million gallons daily.
Mr. Dalton also stated there was the need to clean manholes along the
Outfall line and inspect the interior with divers.
President Gibbs asked what is the normal District flow.
Mr. Dalton stated it was around 17 million gallons daily.
Member Allan stated that testing should wait until the District is closer
to the need.
Member Mitchell stated that an economic evaluation of outfall alternates
should be completed before testing is undertaken.
Mr. Dalton stated that it was estimated that $6,000.00 was needed to
clean manholes along the Outfall.
President Gibbs stated the funds needed for cleaning can come from the
$20,000.00 authorized for silt removal; no testing for pressure at this time.
EMPLOYMENT OF PERSONNEL SPECIALIST FOR CIVIL SERVICE EXAMINATIONS
Mr. Dalton, representing Mr. Horstkotte, General Manager-Chief Engineer,
requested authorization to hire a personnel specialist to conduct Civil
