REVIEWED AND RECOMMENDED FOR BOARD ACTION:
ISSUE: Construction has been completed on the Recycle Water Emergency Repair, (DP
7202) in Concord and the work is now ready for acceptance.
RECOMMENDATION: Accept the contract work for the Recycle Water Emergency Repair
Project and authorize the filing of the Notice of Completion.
FINANCIAL IMPACTS: None related to this action.
AL TERNATIVES/CONSIDERATIONS: Not applicable. Filing the Notice of Completion is
advisable under the California Civil Code Section 3093.
BACKGROUND: The main recycled water transmission pipes were installed in two
projects: Pleasant Hill Relief Interceptor (PHRI) Phase I and II (1993) and PHRI Phase 3
(1997). Operation of the landscape irrigation system using recycled water began in 1997.
In February 2001 a leak was discovered on the 18-inch recycled water main located
within a steel casing under Interstate 680 and adjacent to the Buchanan Golf course.
On February 15, 2001, the Board of Directors (Board) authorized an emergency
construction contract to Mountain Cascade, Inc. for the repair of the recycled water
pipeline. The main was repaired by inserting a high density polyehtylene (HDPE) pipe into
the leaking pipe. This required an excavation over 20 feet in depth in the golf course and
one approximately 15 feet in depth just west of Interstate 680. Repairs were
complicated by rainy weather, high ground water and the proximity of utilities. The
recycled water main was placed back into service on March 15, 2001 and the
underground work was completed on March 29, 2001. The remaining work consists of
golf course restoration items by a landscaping contractor which do not affect acceptance
of the work in this contract.

ISSUE: Additional time is needed by District Counsel for review and discussion of the
proposed amendment to District Code Chapter 6.12.
RECOMMENDATION: Continue the public hearing to receive comments on the proposed
ordinance to retitle and amend Chapter 6.12 of the District Code regarding the Capacity
Fee Program which was originally noticed for May 10, 2001, to May 24, 2001 at 2:00
p.m.
FINANCIAL IMPACTS: None.
AL TERNATIVES/CONSIDERATIONS: The Board of Directors may, 1) continue the public
hearing, as recommended, or 2) conduct the public hearing as originally scheduled.
BACKGROUND: Staff has reviewed the District's current connection fees and has
concluded that the basis for determining fees should be changed to comply with recently
enacted legislation and provide for determination of "Capacity Fees" on a "buy-in-to-all-
assets" basis.
The proposal was presented and discussed during the General Manager's report at the
January 11 and March 15, 2001 Board meetings. Informal meetings for staff to discuss
the proposal with interested customers were held on April 24 and May 1, 2001. Letters
including a summary of the proposal, notice of the public hearing and an invitation to the
informational meetings were sent by first-class mail to the Home Builder's Association of
Northern California and 134 developers, contractors, architects and engineers who
regularly pay connection fees or estimate fees for their clients.

Subject: CONTINUE THE PUBLIC HEARING TO RECEIVE COMMENTS ON A PROPOSED
ORDINANCE TO RETITLE AND AMEND CHAPTER 6.12 OF THE DISTRICT CODE
REGARDING THE CAPACITY FEE PROGRAM TO MAY 24,2001 AT 2:00 P.M.
Proper notices for the May 10, 2001 public hearing have been published and posted.
An ordinance to amend the District Code to provide for determination of Capacity Fees
on a "buy-in-to-all-assets" basis has been drafted by staff. In addition to changing the fee
calculation approach and setting the amounts for Capacity Fees, Rates and Charges, the
proposed Ordinance would retitle Chapter 6.12 of the District Code from "Capital
Improvement Fees" to "Capacity Fee Program," and would amend the chapter as follows:
. A number of new "findings" are included to document the substantive reasons for
the Board to establish the Capacity Fee Program.
. Each section of the chapter has been edited (text added and deleted) to clarify the
procedures and rules for administration of the program, including:
New definitions for "business owner" and "parcel owner"
Describing the appropriate use of Capacity Fee revenues.
Adding the requirement that a separate living space be physically
separable from the primary residence to be considered an "additional
unit."
Specifying how Capacity Fees for "shell buildings," that is, buildings
with finished exteriors and unfinished interiors, will be calculated.
Allowing a customer to initially pay conventional Capacity Fees and
receive a connection permit while a "special study" is conducted by
staff to verify the appropriate final fee.
Adding formulas for the Capacity Use Charge Rate and Current Year
Capacity Use Charge for businesses eligible for payment of Capacity
Fees over a 15 year period under the Capacity Use Charge Program.
Adding User Groups: EF-Large Fitness/Athletic Clubs, and LR-Residence
Hotels, with their associated units of measure and capacity fee RUE
factors for each zone (gravity and pumping).
District Counsel has recommended that additional time be allowed for his review and
discussion of the proposed District Code amendment with staff.
RECOMMENDED BOARD ACTION: Continue the public hearing to receive comments on
the proposed ordinance to retitle and amend Chapter 6.12 of the District Code regarding
the Capacity Fee Program which was originally noticed for May 10, 2001, to May 24,
2001 at 2:00 p.m.

6.12.010 Findings. The Board of Directors finds as
ro~~ows:
A. District customers have made a substantia~ investment in
existing District wastewater and househo~d hazardous waste
co~~ection, treatment, recyc~ing, reuse and disposa~ services and
raci~i ties that wi~~ beneri t new users.
B. 1'he purpose or the Capaci ~ Fee ProgrlUD. is to provide ror
each new user, by payment or a Capaci~ Fee at the time or
ini au connection of a bui~ding or faci~i ~ on their property to
the District's sewer system or, subsequent~y, when creating an
added burden, to equa.1ize their investment wi th the investment of
other existing users in the vuue of a~~ District assets.
C. New users wi thin the District service area, ~) generate
an added burden on the District's wastewater and househo~d
hazardous waste co~~ection, treatment, recyc~ing, reuse and
disposa~ services and raci~ities, and 2) wo~d contribute to
degrac:fation or the overu~ ~eve~ of wastewater and househo~d
hazardous waste co~~ection, treatment, recyc~ing, reuse and
disposa~ services and raci~ities provided by the District absent
the expenditures ror services and faci~ities to be :funded through
the revenues co~~ected pursuant to this chapter.
D. For the District to provide an adequate level or service
within its service area, renovation, rep~acement, upgrading and
~rovement of existing faci~ities to maintain their capaci~,
and construction of new and/or expanded racilities to increase
capacity is necess~.
E. 1'he Capaci~ Fees to be collected pursuant to this
Page 1 of 32
cl1apter are required to ensure that new users contribute their
appropriate share or the necessary :funding for District services
and needed upgracfes, rep~acements, renovations and iDprovements
of existing District wastewater and househo~d hazardous waste
co~~ection, treatment, re~c~ing, reuse and di~osa~ faci~ities
to maintain their capacity, and to add to and/or expand these
raci~i ties in the future when needed, a~~ or which serv~ces and
raci~ities wi~~ ~timate~y be shared by current and future users.
F. 7.he portion of the revenues co~~ected pursuant to this
chapter cfesignated for equal.ization of investment between
existing and new users in capita~ assets (inc~uding ~and,
wastewater and househo~d hazardous waste co~~ection, treatment,
recyc~ing, reuse and disposu faci~i ties, and the Sewer
Construction Fund buance) sha~~ be used to maintain capacity in
existing faci~ities through ~ife-cyc~e rep~acement, renovation,
upgrading and iDprovement, to add to and/or expand these
faci~i ties in the future when neecfed, and to fund a portion of
the prudent reserve requirements or the Sewer Construction Fund,
as may be estab~ished frOZD. time to time at the discretion or the
Board of Directors. 7.he capitu faci~ity needs and prucfent
reserve requirements of the Sewer Construction Fund are set forth
in the District's Capitu lirprovement Budget and P~an which is
revised and updated every two years.
G. 7.he portion or the revenues co~~ected pursuant to this
chapter cfesignated for equal.ization of investment between
existing and new users in the Rnft"i ng Expense Fund and Se~f-
Insurance Fund ba~ances s~~ be used to fund the new users'
portion of the prudent reserve requirements of these :funds, as
such requirements may be estab~ished frOZD. time to time at the
discretion of the Board of Directors.
B. 7.he facts and evidence estab~ish that there is a strong
and reasonab~e re~ationship between the necessity ror maintenance
of capacity in existing faci~ities and construction of new and/or
expanded raci~i ties to increase capacity, and the addsd burden
created by each of the particular user groups set forth in
Section 6.12.090 Schedul.e or Capacity Fees, .Rates and Charges for
which the corresponding fees are to be charged, and there is a
strong and reasonab~e re~atioDShip between the fees' intencfed use
and the adcfed burden created by each particular user group for
which the fees are charged.
I. 7.he fees expected to be generated frOZD. the Capaci ty Fee
Program wi~~ not exceed the tota~ of a~~ actua~ costs reasonab~y
a~~ocab~e to the services and raci~ities neecfed to serve new
users.
J. Based on an accounting of the sources of funds that have
Page 2 of 32
contributed to the Sewer Construction Fund ba~ance, and the
historic use or revenues rrom that fund, a~~ funds current~y
within the Sewer Construction Fund should be a~~ocated to needed
upgrades, rep~acements, renovations and iJrprovements or existing
District wastewater and househo~d hazardous waste co~~ection,
treatment, recyc~ing, reuse and disposa~ raci~ities to maintain
their capaci ty, and to add to and! or expand these :faci~i. ties in
the rotore when needed.
K. Regarding cmrp~iance with the Cuirornia Environmenta~
Qaa~i ty Act (CBOA), the Board o:f Directors :finds as :fo~~ows:
1. 1'he revenues generated by the capaci ty ree. co~~ected
pursuant to the provisions o:f this Chapter are to be used, in
part, ror eqaa~izing investment in the capitu cost. or
:faci~i ties constructed in the past which have provided capaci ty
to be shared by current and roture users, inc~uding, among
others, Stage SA and Stage 5B Treatment P~ant Expansions,
Headworks I.trprovements, U~tra-Vio~et Light DisinEection
Faci~ities, San Ramon Va~~ey Trunk Sewer, Downtown lVahut Creek
Bypass, and A-Line and P~easant Bi~~ Re~ie:f Interceptors. li~
such past projects providing capacity to be shared between
current and roture users were initiated and ccmp~eted in keeping
wi th the requirements or CEQA.
2. 1'he Capaci ty Fee Program provided :for in this
chapter wi~~ not in i tse~r result in an expansion or raci~i ties
to provide ror growth outside or the existing service area. 1'he
revision or the Capacity Fee Program is not in i tse~r a project
as derined by CZQA and wi~~ not in i tse~:f resu.1 t in any speci:fic
project nor result in any direct physica~ change in the
environment. An Environmenta~ I.trpact Report, or other appropriate
CZQA cmrp~iance documentation, wi~~ be prepared prior to the
undertaking o:f any "project" to be :funded in who~e or in part by
the revenues co~~ected pursuant to the Capacity Fee Program
contained berein. 1'he Capacity Fee Program rationU~y re~ates
rees charged with the cost or providing services and raci~i ties
capacity :for new users and current users who change the use o:f
their connected bui~dings or raci~ities.
3. 1'he District has ccmp~ied with the requirements o:f the
Cuirornia EnviromDSnta~ Qua.1i ty Act with regard to the Ordinance
adopting the Capacity Fee Program in that a Notice o:f E.xEDZption
has been prepared setting rorth Pub~ic Resource Code Section
15273 (District CBOA Guide~ines Section 17.7 (a) (4)) as the basis
:for this 8XeDption, ror the reasons set rorth in paragraphs A)
and B) immediate~y above, such a Notice or Exezrption has been
ri~ed pursuant to ~aw.
Page 3 of 32
Based on these findings, the Board of Directors have adopted
the Capaci ty Fee ProgrlUlJ. set forth in the provisions of this
chapter to ensure adequate funding of a~~ needed upgrades,
rep~acements, renovations and iDprovemsnts of existing District
wastewater and househo~d hazardous waste co~~ection, treatment,
recyc~ing, reuse and disposa~ faci~i ties to maintain their
capaci ty, additions to and expansions or the capaci ty or these
faci~ities in the future when needed, and prudent reserves
requirements of the Running Expense Fund, the Se~f Insurance Fund
and Sewer Construction Fund occasioned by the added burden on
District services and raci~ities attributab~e to new users and
current users who change the use or their connected bui~dings or
faci~ities; and to provide that each new user and each current
user who changes the use of his/her connected bui~dings or
faci~ities pays his/her fair share of the cost of District
services and faci~ities. It is the intent of this chapter that
the Capacity Fee ProgrlUlJ. together wi th the other revenue progrlUlJB
of the District provide sufficient funds to meet the capita~ cost
requireDl8llts of providing capaci ty throughout the effective
period of the current and successive capitu iDprovement p~ans.
It is the further intent of this chapter that the factors to be
considered in ca~~ating future capita~ costs and projecting
De4tded revenues sha~~ inc~ude, but not be ~imited to, growth
projections, the current costs of faci~i ty construction, current
fund buance or deficit, projected increased cost. of faci~i ty
construction, the differentia~ cost in providing service between
various areas of the District, current and anticipated changes in
governmenta~ regul.ation, inf~ation, debt service, and the time
va~ue or money.

6.12.030 General provisions.
A. Definitions. 1'he ro~~owing tezms shal.~ have the meaning
set rorth be~ow ror the purposes or this Ti t~e.
1. Added Burden. "Added burden" means any of the
following:
a. A connection or any bui~ding or raci~ity on
'from a parcel, J~Lt:L;L V.L. ~uJ~.L.t:~L, to the sewer system for the
first time, vi auy ;:,L.LUL;Lu.Lt:;
b. An existing connection from a parcel where the
estimated volume of flow or the strength of the wastewater
discharged from said parcel will be increased due to construction
of additional units of measure, or a change in lauJ u;:,a\,:jt: use of
the bui~dings or faci~ities on the parce~. This increase in flow
or strength shall include an existing connection from a
nonresidential parcel where the units of measure attributable to
said parcel has at any time been increased, including any
combination of increases over time once said increases are known
to the parcel owner and/or discovered by the District, whichever
comes first. If more than one independent operation exists on a
single parcel, an added burden shall also mean an existing
connection where the number of residential unit equivalents
attributable to any ..i.uJ..i.v..i.Jual independent operation has
increased due to a differing use. If a single and integral
operation spans two or more contiguous parcels, the increase
shall be measured against the total number of residential unit

Page 7 of 32
factor used in determining the added burden placed on the system
by a nonresidential user and shall be established based on the
equivalency to the burden (in terms of capacity) that a typical
residential unit places on the District's sewerage system,
.Lm...luJ.Lul:j Lllt:: [CI\....Lv.l..~ v[ taking into account both volume of flow
and wastewater strength.
&10. Residential Unit. A "residential unit" is

of parce~s are simi~ar~y responsib~e for direct~y verifying wi th
the District that capacity fees have been paid, since existence
of unpaid or de~inquent fees may not be apparent from tit~e

B. Establishment of Zones. The District Board of
Directors, with regard to providing aJJ.i.L.i.vual capacity for new
users, ~hall has estab~ished and may, in the future, establish
zones within the District as a whole in order to more equitably
establish fees for locations within the District having
significantly differing costs for wastewater uti~i~ services and
faci~ities. By establishment of these zones, all l-'LVl-'tLLy

Zone 1 shall include all U~~L~ parce~s served completely by the
gravity collection system, whereas Zone 2 shall include all U~tL~
parce~s that require District-operated sewage pumping facilities
to L~adl convey their wastewater to the gravity collection
system. The fees established for Zone 1 and Zone 2 shall differ
in proportion to the difference in costs attributable to

A. Policy. CajJ.LLal .L!lljJJ..vvI::Ull::uL Capacity fees shall be
charged for each new connection of a nonresidential building or
facility, for each new tenant space within a shell building for
which capacity fees have not been previously paid, and for each
change of use from residential to nonresidential or from one
nonresidential user group to another which creates an added
burden. It is the policy of LIL~O:> dLC1jJLI::L the District that
nonresidential users pay their proportionate share of the costs
of District services and needed upgrades, replacements,
renovations and iDprovements of existing District wastewater and
household hazardous waste collection, treatment, re~cling, reuse
and disposal facili ties to maintain their capaci ~, and to add to
and/or expand these facilities in the future when needed, all of

[VL. u'==w U;::''==L.;::'. Cap.LLal .LUlpLVVO::::Ulo::::uL Capacity fees for
nonresidential users shall be determined based on the
relationship of the nonresidential user's flow and strength
demands to that of an average residential unit. The
differentiation in fees between zones as set forth in Section
6.12.040B, shall also apply to nonresidential users.
B. Use of Residential Unit Equivalence Factors. There
shall be established a system of residential unit equivalence
factors (hereafter in this chapter referred to as "RUE factors")
for each identifiable nonresidential user group within the
District. The RUE factor shall be determined by considering
wastewater flow and wastewater strength parameters for each user
group in relation to the demand of an average residential unit.
The wastewater flow and wastewater strength parameters shall be
determined based on flow and strength data available within the
wastewater treatment industry, as well as data obtained from
studies of the characteristics of the wastewater flow within the
District. The factors considered in developing the RUE shall
include the wastewater flow and wastewater strength comparison
between residential and nonresidential use. An allocation of
costs between flow and strength parameters based on their
respective contribution to the added burden will be employed.
C. User Groups. The District shall determine which
categories of nonresidential users may be properly categorized
into user groups having similar flow and strength
characteristics. A RUE factor will be developed for each user
group based on the flow and strength characteristics of that user
group. A further determination shall be made with regard to each
user group as to the unit of measure that most accurately
demonstrates a positive correlation between the actual flow from
a particular user and a tangible criteria of measurement. The
unit of measure may vary between user groups.
D. Calculation of the Cap.LLal IUlpLvvo::::mo::::uL Capacity Fees for
Nonresidential Uses.
1. The l..-ap.iLal .iUlpLVV'==Ul,==uL capacity fees for any
parcel within the District's boundaries imposing an added burden
to on the sewerage system shall be based on anticipated use and
shall equal the product of the estimated number of residential
unit equivalents (RUE) that will result from the added burden, as
determined in paragraph (2) of this subsection, and the L;ap.iLal
.impLvv~m~uL capacity fee rates determined pursuant to 3~L;L.ivu
Page 15 of 32
6.12.020 v[ the provisions or this chapter.
2. Calculation of the Number of Residential Unit
Equivalents Being Connected. The anticipated use of the sewerage
system shall be calculated in terms of RUE. The number of RUE
shall be determined by the following formula:
(FLOe] [ ( BODe]
RUE = A+B

existing configuration for conveyance, treatment and
disposal of wastewater which is attributable to flow,
B = The proportion of the total capital costs required to
construct an increment of the sewerage system of the
existing configuration for conveyance, treatment and
disposal of wastewater which is attributable to
biochemical oxygen demand (BOD),
C = The proportion of the total capital costs required to
construct an increment of the sewerage system of the
existing configuration for conveyance, treatment, and
disposal of wastewater which is attributable to total
suspended solids (TSS),

accepted engineering standards.
3. The number of RUE attributable to a parcel from
which wastewater is discharged shall be calculated using average
concentrations of biochemical oxygen demand and total suspended

EF. Special Studies. The fee structure adopted by the
Board of Directors ~llall provides procedures for determining the
~avi..Lal .i.lll1-JLVVellll::uL capaci~ fees for certain nonresidential user
groups by use of a special study. The user groups for which
special studies are required to set the ~C1l-1.i.LC11 .i.llll-lLVVl::llll::uL
capaci~ fees for particular users within the group ~bC111 include
those user groups where there is widely varying data as to
wastewater flow and strength between users in that group and for
which no RUE factors have been established by ordinance. T.he user
groups that require special studies are so designated in Section
6.12.090 Sched{Ue 0:E Capaci~ Fees, Rates and Charges.
If an individual user within a user group believes that
the applicable ~C1l-1.i.LC11 .i.llll-lLVVl:::llll:::uL capaci~ fees as ~I:::L Ly
deteZ2llined by use of an established units 0:E measure and RUE

anticipated site ~eciric wastewater flow and strength, that user
may request that a special study be conducted by District staff
to determine the appropriate capaci~ fee. Such study shall be
undertaken upon payment by the user of the cost for such study.

be based on the results or the speciu study. However, ir the
Page 18 of 32
specia~ study is requested rewer than thirty (30) ca~endar days
prior to the time pa,yment or capaci ty rees is due, and the
specia~ study cannot be c~~etedprior to the time said payment
is due, the user sha~~ pay capaci ty fees dete.z:mined by
app~ication or the units or measure and RUE ractors inc~uded in
Section 6.12.090 Sche~e of Capacity Fees, Rates and Charges. Ir
the subsequent~y comp~eted specia~ study res~ts in a c~pacity
fee that exceeds the initia~ fee actua~~y paid by more than ten
(10) percent, the user sha~~ be responsib~e ror the dirference,
and wi~~ be bi~~ed therefor. If the specia~ study res~ts in a
capacity fee that is more than ten (lO) percent ~ess than the
initia~ ree actua~~y paid, the District wi~~ refund the
difference to the parce~ owner.
F. Reevaluation of Fee. In the event that a user's
connection is permitted after a special study has been conducted
which may, in the judgment of the General Manager Cll.L~[ Ell~.Lll~~L,
result in discharge of wastewater with unusual characteristics or
where the flow and strength characteristics of that user's
wastewater may be difficult to estimate prospectively, such
user's L.aj!.LLal .LlUj!LVV~lU~llL capacity fee determination may be
subject to a reevaluation study after Vll~, LlLL~~ amI a period of
from one to five years of L.Vllll~L.L.LVll awl observation. Separate
metering of the water supplied to such user's facility, either by
use of the water utility's meter or by private meter, may be
required by the District to facilitate the reevaluation study.
If the reevaluation study demonstrates that the L.aj!.LLal
.LlUj!LVV~lU~llL capacity fees previous~y imposed do not reflect the
actual flow and strength characteristics of the user's discharge,
then an additional fee may be imposed or L.L~J.LL refund issued
thereafter based on the actual flow and strength characteristics
as determined by the reevaluation study.
The user s~~ be responsib~e for payment of any
additio.na~ fee within thirty (30) days of receipt of a District
invoice thereror if the reevuuated fee is more than ten (10)
percent greater than the ac~ capacity fee origi.na~~y paid.
G. Capacity Use Charge Program. The Board of Directors
finds that the Caj!.LLal IlUj!Lvv~lU~llL F~~ 3y::>L~lU Capacity Fee
Program may impose all Ullll~L.~::>::>aLY a constraint on business
formation within the District or for certain nonresidential user
groups. To mitigate this potential constraint, a Capacity Use
Charge Program was eBtab~iBhed to allow for time payment of
[aL..Ll.LL.L~::> capacity fees .L::> ~::>LaLl.L::>ll~J. Only the [aL..Ll.LL.L~::>

A. Added Burden. Any change of use for a parcel which
results in an added burden on the District's facilities will
subject that parcel to additional L.ap..i.Lal ..i.lllpl..VVt:::lllt:::uL capacity
fees for the added burden. Any person who causes an added burden
to be imposed shall pay L.ap..i.Lal ..i.lllpl..VVt:::lllt:::uL capacity fees in
accordance with this chapter. With respect to discharges which
constitute an increase in the existing strength and/or quantity
of wastewater attributable to a particular parcel or operation
which is already connected to the District's sewerage system,
such additional L.ap..i.Lal ..i.lllpl..VVt:::lllt:::uL capacity fees shall be
determined based on the added burden placed on the sewerage
system as measured by the applicable unit of measure and ROE
factors. When change in use requires that the parcel be
reclassified to a different user group, the applicable fees shall
be calculated using the RUE factors for the new user group. If
the fee ca~~ated using the ROE factors for the new user group
exceeds the previous capaci ty fees (or other predecessor
connection fees) paid for the previous use by an amount ~ess than
ten (10) percent of the previous fee, no additiona~ fee sha~~ be
due.
B. It shall be the duty of the owner of the parcel as well
as any other person made responsible under this chapter for
payment of fees, to notify the District of any added burden
imposed upon the owner's parcel or within the operations thereon
prior to the change of use or immediately upon learning of the
Page 23 of 32
change of use, whichever comes first. If an added burden has
occurred without payment of ""elf:-'';''Lell .Llllf:-'Lvv~lll~uL capacity fees
when due as set forth in Section 6.12.030.ED. Time for Payment
and Pe~ties for De~inquent Payment, payment of the fees shall
be due from the time of imposition of the added burden or from
the time of the District's discovery of the added burden, at the
discretion of the General Manager-Cll';"~[ EUl"l.i.ll~~L.

Subject CONDUCT A PUBLIC HEARING TO RECEIVE COMMENTS ON A PROPOSED
ORDINANCE TO RETITLE AND AMEND DISTRICT CODE CHAPTER 6.30, AND TO
ADOPT A REVISED SCHEDULE OF ENVIRONMENTAL AND DEVELOPMENT-
RELATED RATES AND CHARGES
Submitted By. Initiating Dept.lDiv.:
Melody LaBella, Engineering Assistant Engineering/Environmental Services
REVIEWED AND RECOMMENDED FOR BOARD ACTION:
~1~fL ~J~ ~~. d
ISSUE: The District Code requires that a public hearing be held prior to the Board of Direc rs'
consideration of any Ordinance to amend the District Code.
RECOMMENDATION: Conduct a public hearing to receive comments regarding a proposed
Ordinance to retitle and amend District Code Chapter 6.30, and to adopt a revised Schedule
of Environmental and Development-Related Rates and Charges. Adopt the proposed
Ordinance.
FINANCIAL IMPACTS: If adopted, additional revenue generated by the proposed increases
would total about $64,000 in fiscal year 2001-2002.
AL TERNATIVES/CONSIDERATIONS:
Option 1 - No change in fees. Impact - forego recovery of the 9.7% cumulative effect of
general salary increases and rely on other sources of revenue to partially subsidize these
District services.
Option 2 - Consider only the fiscal year 2001-2002 general salary increase of 4.5%. Impact-
forego recovery of the 5% general salary increase from fiscal year 2000-2001 and rely on other
sources of revenue to partially subsidize District services.
Option 3 - Recover the entire 9.7% cumulative effect of general salary increases from fiscal
years 2000-2001 and 2001-2002. This option is recommended by staff.

POSITION PAPER
Board Meeting Date: May 10, 2001
Subject CONDUCT A PUBLIC HEARING TO RECEIVE COMMENTS ON A PROPOSED
ORDINANCE TO RETITLE AND AMEND DISTRICT CODE CHAPTER 6.30, AND TO
ADOPT A REVISED SCHEDULE OF ENVIRONMENTAL AND DEVELOPMENT-RELATED
RATES AND CHARGES
property owners, contractors, developers, waste haulers and permitted industrial users. The
fees provide approximately 1.3% of the District's total revenue and were established to recover
the District's direct and indirect labor costs, other operating expenses and 75% of the
administrative overhead incurred in providing each service.
The general salary increase at CCCSD for 2000-2001 was 5%; the general salary increase
scheduled for 2001-2002 is 4.5%. Staff recommends that the Schedule of Rates and Charges
be adjusted by the cumulative effect of these two general salary adjustments, which would
result in an increase of 9.7%, for the majority of categories.
Additionally, staff has identified services provided in the Development Plan Review and
Inspection areas for which District costs have not been recovered historically. Several new
fees are proposed, including a revision to the Reimbursement Administration Charge.
Attachment 1 provides a summary of the proposed changes to the Schedule of Environmental
and Development-Related Rates and Charges.
The proposed Schedule of Rates and Charges and Notice of Public Hearing were distributed
to representatives of the Home Builders Association of Northern California, the Engineering
and Utility Contractors' Association, 134 developers, contractors, architects and engineers, who
regularly payor estimate District environmental or development-related fees, and others who
have requested to receive the proposed schedule. This distribution provided an opportunity
for comments and questions to be directed to District staff, prior to the public hearing.
RECOMMENDED BOARD ACTION: Conduct a public hearing to receive comments regarding
a proposed Ordinance to retitle and amend District Code Chapter 6.30, and to adopt a revised
Schedule of Environmental and Development-Related Rates and Charges. Adopt the
proposed Ordinance.

POSITION PAPER
Board Meeting Date: May 10, 2001
No.: 8.a. ENGINEERING
Type of Action: AUTHORIZE FUNDS
Subject: AUTHORIZE THE GENERAL MANAGER TO ALLOCATE $75,000 FROM THE
COLLECTION SYSTEM PROGRAM CONTINGENCY ACCOUNT FOR THE COMPLETION
OF THE REMAINING WORK ON THE REPAIR OF THE RECYCLED WATER PIPELINE IN
BUCHANAN FIELD GOLF COURSE, DP 7202
Submitted By:
Jade Sullivan, Assistant Engineer
Initiating Dept./Div. :
Engineering / Environmental Services
R~7~ AND RECOMMENDED FOR BOARD A6:~
- J.S"IIi,," + C.SW'"""
~
ISSUE: Board of Director's authorization is required for the General Manager to allocate
funds from the Capital Improvement Budget (CIB) program contingency accounts in
amounts greater than $25,000.
RECOMMENDATION: Authorize the allocation of $75,000 from the Collection System
Program Contingency Account for the completion of work related to the Repair of the
Recycled Water Pipeline in Buchanan Field Golf Course.
FINANCIAL IMPACTS: This repair project (DP7202) is unbudgeted. Approving this
allocation may result in exceeding the $22 million projected spending target for this year's
Capital Budget. There are authorized contingency funds available.
ALTERNATIVES/CONSIDERATIONS: The District can decide not to continue with the post
repair investigation of the cause of the pipeline leak, and decide not to pursue vigorol:ls
action on the possibility of cost relief from others related to the repair work.
BACKGROUND: On February 15, 2001, the Board of Directors (Board) authorized an
emergency construction contract to Mountain Cascade, Inc. for the repair of the recycled
water pipeline. The pipeline was placed back into service on March 15, 2001. The
remaining work consists of golf course restoration, investigation of the cause of the leak,
and potential pursuance of cost relief from others who may have contributed to the cause
of the leak.
The cost expenditures to date are approximately $252,000, which exceeds the authorized
budget by approximately $28,000. The expenditures to date include the cost for the

repair contractor, pipeline leak detection field investigations, site restoration and staff
force account costs. In additional to the funding needed for the present budget over
expenditures, the project requires approximately $47,000 for on-going staff and
consultant costs to complete the post repair investigation effort. The total additional
funds required are $75,000.
The post repair investigation effort is an investigation into the past design assumptions,
construction installation techniques, present corrosion conditions, legal considerations and
other forensic engineering assessments for the purpose of preventing reoccurrences of
similar problems in the future, and, if adequate justifications are found, initiating cost relief
from the related design consultants and contractors.
RECOMMENDED BOARD ACTION: Authorize the General Manager to allocate $75,000
from the Collection System Program Contingency Account for the completion of work
related to the Repair of the Recycled Water Pipeline in Buchanan Field Golf Course.

No.: 9.a. COLLECTION SYSTEM
Type of Action: Authorize Agreement
Subject: AUTHORIZE THE GENERAL MANAGER TO EXECUTE AN AGREEMENT WITH
SUSSEX BUSINESS SYSTEMS FOR THE PURCHASE AND INSTAllATION OF SEWER
MAINTENANCE MANAGEMENT SOFTWARE

REVIEWED AND RECOMMENDED FOR BOARD ACTION:
ISSUE: Authorization by the Board is required for the General
professional services agreements over $50,000.
RECOMMENDATION: Authorize the General Manager to execute an agreement with
Sussex Business Systems to purchase and install sewer maintenance management
software.
FINANCIAL IMPACTS: Approval of this action will result in a one-time cost of $90,000
from the Capital Improvement Budget and an annual O&M cost of $9,000 for technical
support and periodic software updates.
AL TERNATIVES/CONSIDERATIONS: Do not approve the recommended action.
BACKGROUND: The District implemented a computer-based sewer maintenance program
using a program called the Sewer Maintenance Management System (SMMS) in August
1988. This program is used to schedule and track maintenance activities on the District's
collection system assets (32,000 pipe segments and 34,000 structures). The application
of SMMS provided the sound maintenance management system that was needed to
reduce the number of overflows to 40% below historical levels. SMMS is now 13 years
old, there is no external technical support, and it is not capable of handling the full range
of collection system maintenance activities. Customer contacts, inspection activities, and
repair work are kept in separate automated or manual data storage and retrieval systems.
Staff has evaluated the capabilities of seven sewer maintenance programs in search of
a replacement for SMMS. The current generation of sewer maintenance management
software offers broad functionality that would overcome the limitations of SMMS and

meet the future CMOM mandates for an asset management system. Staff selected
Sussex Business Systems as having the best available program. Sussex meets all criteria
for functionality and the MIS Staff has determined that it is fully compatible with current
District information systems and hardware.
The recommendation to proceed with replacing SMMS at this time is based on capturing
data from the ongoing television inspection program, the pipe corrosion inspection
program, and the multi-year effort to televise approximately 100 miles of the collection
system to determine its condition and to provide a rational basis for establishing a pipeline
replacement program. This latter work is projected to start in July 2001. These three
programs are expected to generate a substantial volume of data.
The scope of this professional services agreement includes modifying the Sussex software
to meet the District's needs and moving historical data from the other databases. The
one-time cost will be $90,000 (the project cost to replace SMMS was approved as part
of the current Capital Improvement Budget) and the annual O&M cost for the service
contract that provides technical support and software upgrades will be $9,000 (this
amount will be approved each year as part of the O&M Budget).
This project. titled Sewer Maintenance Management System (SMMS) Modifications and
Improvements, is included on page CS-92 of the FY 1999/00 and 2000/01 Capital
Improvement Budget.
RECOMMENDED BOARD ACTION: Authorize the General Manager to execute an
agreement with Sussex Business Systems with a cost ceiling of $90,000 for the purchase
and installation of sewer maintenance management software.

(P~
ISSUE: The Board reviewed the personnel needs of the District for Fiscal Year 2001- 02
at its April 5, 2001, meeting. Accordingly, staff is submitting the Staffing Plan for Board
approval.
RECOMMENDATION: Approve the Staffing Plan for Fiscal Year 2001-2002.
FINANCIAL IMPACTS: The proposed Staffing Plan would increase annual salary costs by
$12,677.
AL TERNATIVES/CONSIDERATIONS: Do not approve this Staffing Plan.
BACKGROUND: Each department has reviewed its staffing requirements for Fiscal Year
2001-2002. The Staffing Plan includes departmental overviews providing summary
information, personnel actions taken during Fiscal Year 2000-2001, requested changes
and their justifications, organizational charts reflecting current staffing and proposed
changes, and new job classification descriptions.
The attached summary sheet highlights the effect of each department's staffing requests
on the number of total authorized positions in the District and the costs in salaries and
benefits. As shown in the summary, the total number of authorized regular positions in
the District will increase by one-half of a position more than last year. Seven Co-op
student positions are requested this year which is one fewer than last year.
The salaries and wages in the 2001-2002 0 & M Departmental Budgets will increase from
the previous year due to the anticipated cost-of-Iiving salary adjustments and any merit
and longevity increases scheduled in 2001-2002.
Local One and MS/CG were was invited to meet and confer on those items that were
negotiable. They declined the opportunity to meet.
