CONSENT CALENDAR Type of Action: ACCEPT GRANT OF EASEMENT Subject: ADOPT A RESOLUTION ACCEPTING A GRANT OF EASEMENT FROM JOHN G. MARTINEZ AND SHARON E. MARTINEZ FOR A SANITARY SEWER EASEMENT AT 3035 CASTRO STREET, MARTINEZ, AND AUTHORIZING RECORDING OF THE DOCUMENT WITH THE CONTRA COSTA COUNTY RECORDER Submitted By: Ricardo Hernandez Engineering Assistant III Initiating Dept./Div. : Engineering / Environmental Services :;;ND RECDMt~DR BOARD o~~~ R. Hernandez ~ J. Miyamoto-Mills C. Swanson ~ ISSUE: Easements must be approved by the Board of Directors by resolution. RECOMMENDATION: Adopt a resolution accepting the Grant of Easement and authorizing recording with the Contra Costa County Recorder. FINANCIAL IMPACTS: Payment of $250 has been paid to the property owner. AL TERNA TIVES/CONSIDERA TIONS: None. BACKGROUND: The subject Grant of Easement is for an easement to accommodate an existing sewer at 3035 Castro Street, Martinez (map attached). The property owners approached the District regarding proposed improvements near a District sewer, and it was determined at that time that a Grant of Easement was needed in order to record an easement for this sewer segment. The sewer was part of the collection system taken over from the City of Martinez. Many of these sewers lack recorded easements, and staff regularly obtains Grants of Easements for these when possible. Staff has concluded that this transaction is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) under District CEQA Guidelines Section 15305, since it involves a minor alteration in land use limitations. Acceptance of this Grant of Easement will estahlish the Board of Director's independent finding that this action is exempt from CEQA. RECOMMENDED BOARD ACTION: Adopt a resolution accepting the Grant of Easement from John G. ~rtinez and Sharon E. Martinez and authorizing staff to record the Grant of Easement with tbe Contra Costa County Recorder. 12/13/01 U:\PPr\Bertera\RHpp-21 final.wpd Page 1 of 2 " .... 00 ;:; -5 .8 " /" .... 52 -;;; ~ (5 v ~ Central Contra Costa Sanitary District \ \ c: c> "0 o 60 r--.- --""""'-- l ..., U"'l co o (3 ~ u w Cl 6 ~ 'N t ~ N .

CONSENT CALENDAR Type of Action: ACCEPT GRANT OF EASEMENT Subject: ADOPT A RESOLUTION ACCEPTING A GRANT OF EASEMENT FROM MARILOUISE S. LEWIS FOR A SANITARY SEWER EASEMENT AT 24 SOUTHWOOD DRIVE, ORINDA, AND AUTHORIZING RECORDING OF THE DOCUMENT WITH THE CONTRA COSTA COUNTY RECORDER Submitted By: Ricardo Hernandez Engineering Assistant III Initiating Dept./Div. : Engineering / Environmental Services A. Farrell R:;; AND RECOM~E:c; FOR BOARD cT~i R. Hernandez ~ J. Miyamoto-Mills C. Swanson Jl9K ISSUE: Easements must be accepted by the Board of Directors by resolution. RECOMMENDATION: Adopt a resolution accepting the Grant of Easement and authorizing recording with the Contra Costa County Recorder. FINANCIAL IMPACTS: Payment of $1,250 has been paid to the property owner. AL TERNA TIVES/CONSIDERA TIONS: None. BACKGROUND: During construction of the 1997 South Orinda Sewer Renovation Project ("Project"), the sewer lateral serving the 20 Southwood Drive property owned by Mr. George Burtt ("Burtt Property") was relocated to the 24 Southwood Drive property owned by Mrs. Marilouise S. Lewis ("Lewis Property"). A new lateral to 20 Southwood Drive was needed because the sewer main it was originally connected to was moved to a new and deeper location. Connecting the lateral at the same location would have required extensive excavation that would have impacted a nearby tree and retaining wall. In an attempt to resolve the issue concerning the Burtt Property sewer lateral location, the District staff offered to purchase an easement from Mrs. Lewis in favor of Mr. Burtt. Mr. Burtt has not yet agreed to accept the easement, due primarily to his concerns about future maintenance of the lateral. To allay Mr. Burtt's maintenance concerns, the District staff has offered to warranty the lateral for 15 years. The District has entered into a tolling agreement with Mr. Burtt, so that he may have time to consider the District's warranty offer. 12/13/01 U:\PPr\Bertera\RHppSouthwood.wpd Page 1 of 3 POSITION PAPER Board Meeting Date: December 20, 2001 Subject: ADOPT A RESOLUTION ACCEPTING A GRANT OF EASEMENT FROM MARILOUISE S. LEWIS FOR A SANITARY SEWER EASEMENT AT 24 SOUTHWOOD DRIVE, ORINDA, AND AUTHORIZING RECORDING OF THE DOCUMENT WITH THE CONTRA COSTA COUNTY RECORDER While Mr. Burtt is considering the District's warranty offer, District staff has offered to purchase the easement from Mrs. Lewis for $1,250.00, and to have Mrs. Lewis grant the easement directly to the District, which Mrs. Lewis has agreed to do. Staff has concluded that this transaction is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEOA) under District CEQA Guidelines Section 15305, since it involves a minor alteration in land use limitations. Acceptance of this Grant of Easement will establish the Board of Director's independent finding that this action is exempt from CEOA. RECOMMENDED BOARD ACTION: Adopt a resolution accepting the Grant of Easement from Mrs. Marilouise S. Lewis and authorizing staff to record the Grant of Easement with the Contra Costa County Recorder. 12/13/01 Page 2 of 3 U :\PPr\Bertera\RHppSouthwood. wpd ~ N , o C'l ~ C'l SOUTHWOOD [jJfJ !Xl jij @ jij [g ~ ff jij ff [g ~ ~~ [jJfJjij!p~ @ ? !L@1f ~@ !L @ if ~$J LEWIS !L @ If ~~ BURTT 8 NEW 5' WIDE EASEMENT NEW LATERAL c: '" "" "0 o :; U 0- ;:::. .,., ... ...- c '" E .c u .E "0 ...- co N 0> ... ...- '" > ~ o ...- -'< ~ N I EXIST MANHOLE ,"""------------- ~ ........ ~\\\\\Ill1llll1l1ll1ll11l1l1l1l1lll1l1llll1l1ll1lllllllll1l1l1l1l1ll\\'\ \\\ .....

CONSENT CALENDAR Type of Action: APPROVE REAL PROPERTY AGREEMENT Subject: APPROVE REAL PROPERTY AGREEMENT WITH JAMES AND CAROLYN MITCHELL, JOB 1572, ORINDA, AUTHORIZE EXECUTION AND RECORDING OF THE AGREEMENT Submitted By: Jarred Miyamoto-Mills Principal Engineer ~7D RECDMC4 FOR BOARD ACTION, J. M;"moto.Mm, c. SW,"'O" ~ Initiating Dept./Div. : Engineering/Environmental Services ISSUE: James and Carolyn Mitchell, the owners of the home at 416 Camino Sobrante, Orinda, have requested that the District allow an existing walkway, stairway, brick patio and barbeque counter to remain in a District easement. RECOMMENDATION: Approve real property agreement; authorize the President of the Board of Directors and the Secretary of the District to execute the agreement; and authorize staff to record the agreement with the Contra Costa County Recorder. FINANCIAL IMPACTS: None. AL TERNATIVES/CONSIDERATIONS: Alternatives to the recommended action are Board rejection of the real property agreement, and to either 1) direct staff to seek removal of the encroachments, or 2) rely on the existing easement for future maintenance, rehabilitation or replacement access. BACKGROUND: Portions of a brick stairway, walkway, patio and barbeque counter have been constructed within a District easement at 416 Camino Sobrante, Orinda (see attached map). The encroachments were discovered when the property owners applied for a building permit for a new backyard barbeque, fireplace and seating area. The property owners, James and Carolyn Mitchell, requested that the District allow the encroachments to remain subject to a real property agreement. An agreement was negotiated whereby two previously constructed rock walls encroaching on the easement directly over the public sewer would be completely removed, the pre-existing brick stairway, walkway and patio could remain, and the proposed barbeque counter could be built. 12/12/01 U:\PPr\Bertera\MITCHELL PP.wPD Page 1 of 3 POSITION PAPER Board Meeting Date: December 20, 2001 Subject: APPROVE REAL PROPERTY AGREEMENT WITH JAMES AND CAROLYN MITCHELL, JOB 1572, ORINDA, AUTHORIZE EXECUTION AND RECORDING OF THE AGREEMENT CSO and Engineering staff determined that the existing sewer is in acceptable condition and that the encroachments will not unreasonably interfere with the District's use. The agreement limits what may be installed or planted in the easement in the future. The property owner accepts the liability for any damage to District's facilities and for additional costs to the District for maintenance and replacement of the sewer in the area of the encroachment. The property owner holds the District free and harmless from all claims and liability for injury to persons or to their property within the easement area. The property owner agrees not to impede the District's access to the property. The agreement provides for the District's emergency access, and requires that the property owner remove the encroachments upon 30 days notice. Staff has concluded that this project (the proposed agreement) is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) under District CEQA Guidelines, Section 15305, since it involves a minor alteration in land-use limitations. The Board's approval of this agreement will constitute a determination that the project is exempt from CEQA. RECOMMENDED BOARD ACTION: Approve the real property agreement; authorize the President of the Board of Directors and the Secretary of the District to execute the agreement; and authorize staff to record the agreement with the Contra Costa County Recorder. 12/12/01 U:\PPr\Bertera\MITCHELL PP.WPD Page 2 of 3 Central Contra Costa Sanitary District BOARD OF DIRECTORS POSITION PAPER Board Meeting Date: December 20, 2001 No.: 3. d.

Ileckl ~ T. Godsey ~~'" ~ir.; A. Fa rell ISSUE: Construction has been completed on the Orinda Trunk Sewer Cured-in-Place (CIP) Pipe Project, District Project 5551, in Orinda, and the work is now ready for acceptance. RECOMMENDATION: Accept the contract work for the Orinda Trunk Sewer Cured-in-Place Pipe Project, and authorize the filing of the Notice of Completion. FINANCIAL IMPACTS: None related to this action. AL TERNA TIVES/CONSIDERA TIONS: Not applicable. Filing the Notice of Completion is advisable under the California Civil Code Section 3093. BACKGROUND: The District began a trunk and interceptor sewer TV inspection program in February of this year to evaluate corrosion problems in District concrete pipe. The 30-inch diameter reinforced-concrete pipe (RCP) carrying the sewer flow from the Lower Orinda Pumping Station force main was one of the first sewers inspected in the program. The TV inspection revealed extensive corrosion throughout the sewer (approximately 1,020 ft.) with a serious localized problem (43 ft.) downstream of the junction structure. Engineering staff fast-tracked the design for the replacement of the worst section of the sewer, and this section was replaced in June. This project involved installing 977 feet of CIP pipe liner in the 30-inch diameter RCP and installing a polyurethane protective coating into two manholes and one junction structure. On September 20, 2001, the Board of Directors (Board) authorized the award of a contract for the construction of the project to Insituform Technologies, Inc. The Notice to Proceed was issued on October 29, 2001. The work was completed 12/13/01 I :\Design\Position Papers\5551 \NtcComplnPP. wpd Page 1 of 2 POSITION PAPER Board Meeting Date: December 20, 2001 Subject: ACCEPT THE CONTRACT WORK FOR THE ORINDA TRUNK SEWER CURED-IN-PLACE (CIP) PIPE PROJECT, DISTRICT PROJECT NO 5551, AND AUTHORIZE THE FlUNG OF THE NOTICE OF COMPLETION December 4, 2001.

ADMINISTRATIVE Type of Action: CONFIRM DELEGATION OF AUTHORITY Subject: RATIFY AND CONFIRM DELEGATION OF AUTHORITY TO THE GENERAL MANAGER Submitted By: Joyce E. Murphy, Secretary of the District Initiating Dept./Div. : Administrative 6~ KIA- K. Aim REVIEWED AND RECOMMENDED FOR BOARD ACTION: ISSUE: As an integral part of his position and his official capacity, the General anager executes documents and contracts on behalf of the District. It would be appropriate for the Board of Directors to ratify and confirm that authority. In addition, a change is proposed to the District Board policy with regard to the Board President's signature on the title page of specifications in the bid documents. RECOMMENDATION: Adopt a resolution ratifying and confirming delegation of authority to the General Manager, Charles W. Batts, Jr. FINANCIAL IMPACTS: None associated with this action. AL TERNATIVES/CONSIDERATIONS: The District can decide not to delegate authority to the General Manager and instead have documents executed by the President of the District Board. BACKGROUND: California Health and Safety Code Section 6487 provides that, "All contracts, deeds, warrants, releases, receipts, and documents shall be signed in the name of the district by its president, and countersigned by its secretary, except that the board may, by resolution, authorize the district manager or other district employees specified by the board to sign contracts, warrants, releases, receipts, and similar documents in the name of the district." In accordance with the Health and Safety Code, the District Board of Directors has adopted various resolutions throughout the years delegating authority to staff to execute documents and contracts for and on behalf of the District, but it has been the District practice that the President of the Board signs the title page of the specifications. District Counsel's Office reviewed the issue and concluded that nothing in the Enabling Act or the Public Contract Code requires that the Board President sign the 12/7/01 Page 1 of 3 POSITION PAPER Board Meeting Date: December 20. 2001 Subject: RATIFY AND CONFIRM DELEGATION OF AUTHORITY TO THE GENERAL MANAGER bid documents, specifications, drawings, or other accompanying documents in the bid packet. Accordingly, these duties can be delegated by the Board to staff. In March 1999, Charles W. Batts, Jr. was appointed to the position of General Manager. At that time Resolution No. 99-030 was adopted, authorizing and empowering Mr. Batts to fulfill the duties of the position of General Manager but no specific delegation was made for the General Manager to sign contracts and other documents in the name of the District. It is recommended that the Board delegate authority to the General Manager to execute all documents and contracts for and on behalf of the District including all documents prepared and circulated as part of the public competitive bidding process, and that any documents executed by Charles W. Batts, Jr. in his official capacity as General Manager be ratified and confirmed. A resolution delegating such authority to the General Manager has been drafted and is attached for the Board's consideration and adoption. The General Manager will continue to advise the Board of major upcoming capital projects, the engineer's estimates, and bidding schedules as part of the General Manager's Report. RECOMMENDED BOARD ACTION: Adopt the attached resolution ratifying and confirming authorization of General Manager to execute documents. 1 217 /01 Page 2 of 3 RESOLUTION NO. 2001- A RESOLUTION RATIFYING AND CONFIRMING AUTHORIZATION OF GENERAL MANAGER TO EXECUTE DOCUMENTS BE IT RESOLVED BY THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF THE CENTRAL CONTRA COSTA SANITARY DISTRICT THAT: Charles W.

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED THAT: The authorization herein referred to for said Charles W. Batts, Jr., General Manager, is an integral part of his position and any documents heretofore executed by Charles W. Batts, Jr. in his official capacity as General Manager are hereby ratified and confirmed. PASSED AND ADOPTED this 20th day of December, 2001, by the District Board of the Central Contra Costa Sanitary District by the following vote: AYES: Members: NOES: Members: ABSENT: Members: President of the Board of Directors, Central Contra Costa Sanitary District, County of Contra Costa, State of California COUNTERSIGNED: Secretary of the Central Contra Costa Sanitary District, County of Contra Costa, State of California APPROVED AS TO FORM: Counsel for the District Page 3 of 3 Central Contra Costa Sanitary District BOARD OF DIRECTORS POSITION PAPER Board Meeting Date: December 20, 2001 Type of Action: Human Resources No.: 7. a . HUMAN RESOURCES Subject. CREATE ONE SOURCE CONTROL INSPECTOR 1/11. RECLASSIFY KEN NULL TO THE POSITION OF SOURCE CONTROL INSPECTOR I (G-60, $3859 - $4787). DELETE THE POSITION OF COLLECTION SYSTEM OPERATIONS TECHNICIAN (G-59, $3771- $4677) Submitted By: Curtis W. Swanson Division Manager R0r;;DRECO~OARD~ C. Swanson A. Farrell C. Freitas Initiating Dept./Div.: Engineering/Environmental Services ISSUE: Board approval is required to create and delete positions. and to reclassify an individual. RECOMMENDATION: Reclassify Ken Null to the position of Source Control Inspector I. Delete the position of Collection System Operations Technician (G-59, $3771-$4677). FINANCIAL IMPACTS: The reclassification of Ken Null to Source Control Inspector I will result in a 2%% salary increase from G-59 to G-60 ($3,859 to $4,787). ALTERNATIVES/CONSIDERATIONS: 1.) Do not approve the reclassification and leave Mr. Null at C.S.O.; or, 2.) Do not approve the reclassification and move Mr. Null to Source Control at his current title and pay range. BACKGROUND: The Source Control Section is responsible for the District Pretreatment Program and Stormwater Inspection Program. A portion of the funding for the Source Control Section employees comes from a contract with the Contra Costa County Flood Control and Water Conservation District to provide stormwater inspection and enforcement services for the Clean Water Program. The Collection System Operations Department has one Collection Systems Operations Technician (Ken Null) who is responsible for grease control at restaurants and other food service businesses. He interacts with the Source Control Section frequently and conducts stormwater inspections at food service facilities. Because the CSO and Source Control Section Inspectors interact frequently and have shared responsibilities, staff proposes to combine all source control, pretreatment. stormwater and 12/13/01 C:\WI N DOWS\TEMP\ReclassifySourceControllnsp.wpd Page 1 of 2 POSITION PAPER Board Meeting Date: December 20. 2001 Subject. CREATE ONE SOURCE CONTROL INSPECTOR 1/11. RECLASSIFY KEN NULL TO THE POSITION OF SOURCE CONTROL INSPECTOR I (G-60. $3859 - $4787). DELETE THE POSITION OF COLLECTION SYSTEM OPERATIONS TECHNICIAN (G-59, $3771- $4677) grease control activities into one section (see attached organization chart). This consolidation will provide for a uniform approach to dealing with customers. and better planning and coordination of pretreatment and stormwater activities. Ken Null would be transferred to the Engineering Department Source Control Section and reclassified to a Source Control Inspector I. The Source Control Section will provide proactive and reactive grease-related sewer overflow inspection/investigation services to CSO. Under the proposed reclassification, Mr. Null would be included in the same classification series (Source Control Inspector 1/11) as the other inspectors in the Source Control Section. This proposal would provide a career advancement opportunity that is currently not available to Mr. Null. To advance to the level of Source Control Inspector II, Mr. Null will have to perform satisfactorily as a Source Control Inspector I for 18 months and meet the education and certification requirements of the Source Control Inspector I classification. The education requirements are completion of college level inorganic and organic chemistry courses. In addition to a career path, assignment to the Source Control Section will provide an opportunity for Mr. Null to perform the full range of source control inspection duties rather than the limited duties associated with inspection of only food service businesses. Staff has met with Mr. Null and representatives of the Union to discuss the proposed reclassification and assignment to the Source Control Section on two occasions. Mr. David Rolley, President of Local One, has stated his intention to address the Board and appeal for Mr. Null to be reclassified as a Source Control Inspector II. RECOMMENDED BOARD ACTION: Reclassify Ken Null to the position of Source Control Inspector I. Delete the position of Collection System Operations Technician (G-59. $3771- $4677). 12/13/01 Page 2 of 2
