ISSUE: Agreements with other agencies require Board approval.
BACKGROUND: In November, 1998, Delta Diablo Sanitation District (DDSD), the sewerage
agency serving the majority of the population in East Contra Costa County, approached the
Human Resources Division staff of Central San about the possibility of CCCSD providing
recruitment consulting services to DDSD. DDSD has two staff members to perform Human
Resource and Public Information services and they are having a difficult time meeting the
demands of their workload. Moreover DDSD, as a District, is attempting to downsize and they
are reluctant to hire additional staff for sporadic and infrequent recruitments. As a result they
have attempted to use outside recruitment firms, but have had minimal success given DDS D's
location, needs and types of vacant skilled and technical positions. Consequently, since
CCCSD is familiar with the recruitment sources for the types of jobs in our industry, DDSD
inquired as to our availability and willingness to be an entrepreneurial resource for them.
Concurrently, as part of the strategic planning process undertaken by the CCCSD Board and
staff, the concept of partnering with other agencies in the area received broad support. The
proposed collaboration with DDSD is an opportunity for the two Districts to share staff services
and for CCCSD to participate in an entrepreneurial activity.
The proposed agreement with DDSD is only for a one year period, April 1, 1999-March 31,
2000, and has been discussed by the staffs of the agencies as a pilot project. Costs to DDSD
will be calculated on a staff time, overhead and expenses basis. CCCSD retains the right to
refuse to undertake a recruitment for any reason. Obviously, the needs of our agency must be
met before we are able to assist DDSD. At this time, DDSD is not anticipating any recruitments
in the near future and is aware of our current heavy recruitment schedule.

JOYCE E. MURPHY
SecT'f!mry of the District
Dear Mike:
Enclosed is an Employment Recruitment Agreement and Indemnification for your review. Our
labor counsel drafted the agreement and is willing to work with us on achieving a contract that
provides the services you desire and still protects Central San legally.
I assume both of our agencies are concerned about the costs associated with recruitments.
Attached to this letter is a list of sample recruitment activities that Central San may perform for
a recruitment. The activities vary depending on the type of position, the number of applications
requested and received, the amount of advertising ordered, and the tests administered. It is
my suggestion that we would develop a written document of tasks prepared for your signature
prior to starting any recruitment for you and you would determine the level of involvement you
would want from your office. Of course, the amount of activity affects the price of the
recruitment; therefore, I think it would be best if your agency was charged an hourly fee rather
than a consulting fee per position. Simply stated, some recruitments take more staff time than
others and your office may want to participate to greater or lesser degrees to reduce the cost.
This billing method should be cheaper for your agency.
The current rate structure for regular staff through April 30, 1999, including salaries, benefits
and administrative overhead, would be as follows:
Human Resources Manager Cathryn Freitas=$79.34 per hour
Human Resources Analyst Darlene Ross=$59.31 per hour
Human Resources Assistant Judy Rivers=$47.85 per hour
I would not expect that much of my time would be billed to your District; however, I would
provide general staff direction and management as required. Also, it should be noted that
Central San Human Resources staff will receive a minimum of a three percent cost-of-living
salary increase in April, 1999 in accordance with the formula outlined in the Memoranda of
Understanding with our bargaining units. Our rates would need to be adjusted to reflect the
Page 9 of 13
C:\WPOocs\dettadiablo.cntrct. wpd
@ Recycled Paper
. .
additional salary increases effective May 1, 1999. Our benefit costs will change effective July
1, 1999; however, I am not proposing to adjust our billing rates to your agency to reflect those
increased costs during the life of this agreement.
Please contact me with any questions or concerns at 229-7308. In order for the Central San
Board to consider the agreement at their first meeting in March, I will need to have it back by
February 22,1999. I look forward to working with you.
Sincerely,
Cathryn R. Freitas
Human Resources Manager

AUTHORIZE THE GENERAL MANAGER/DISTRICT ENGINEER TO EXECUTE
EMPLOYMENT RECRUITMENT AGREEMENT, CENTRAL CONTRA COSTA SANITARY
DISTRICT
We have recently recognized that due to the press of upcoming labor negotiations, committee
work pursuant to labor agreements signed last year, a~ well as other personnel related projects
associated with the District becoming more competitive, certain of the normal workload performed by
Personnel was at risk for getting completed within normal levels of expectation. In response to this
temporary situation, a strategy for engaging in a partnership with sister agencies emerged as a partial
solution to the circumstance. To this end, we have completed discussions with the staff of the Central
Contra Costa Sanitary District (CCCSD) and are pleased to report that they are willing to provide our
District temporary support for the outside recruitment of future vacancies for approximately 1 year.
Delta Diablo Sanitation District (DDS D) will retain selection and offer of employment
discretion. CCCSD staff will be paid on an hourly basis to conduct recruitment, testing, and
notification activities in cooperation with DDSD personnel. Comparison of CCCSD staff wages are
competitive to that of our own compensation. District Counsel has reviewed the Agreement for
conformity .

Dear Mike:
Endosed is an Employment Recruitment Agreement and Indemnification for your review. Our
labor counsel drafted the agreement and is willing to work with us on achieving a contract that
provides the services you desire and still protects Central San legally.
I assume both of our agencies are concerned about the costs associated with recruitments.
Attached to this letter is a list of sample recruitment activities that Central San may perform for
a recruitment The activities vary depending on the type of position, the number of applications
requested and received, the amount of advertising ordered, and the tests administered. It is
my suggestion that we would develop a written document of tasks prepared for your signature
prior to starting any recruitment for you and you would determine the level of involvement you
would want from your office. Of course, the amount of activity affects the price of the
recruitment; therefore, I think it would be best if your agency was charged an hourly fee rather
than a consulting fee per position. Simply stated, some recruitments take more staff time than
others and your office may want to participate to greater or lesser degrees to reduce the cost.
This billing method should be cheaper for your agency.
The current rate structure for regular staff through April 30, 1999, including salaries, benefits
and administrative overhead, would be as follows:
Human Resources Manager Cathryn Freitas=$79.34 per hour
Human Resources Analyst Darlene Ross=$59.31 per hour
Human Resources Assistant Judy Rivers=$47.85 per hour
I would not expect that much of my time would be billed to your District; however, I would
provide general staff direction and management as required. Also, it should be noted that
Central San Human Resources staff will receive a minimum of a three percent cost-of-Iiving
salary increase in April, 1999 in accordance with the formula outlined in the Memoranda of
Understanding with our bargaining units. Our rates would need to be adjusted to reflect the

. _,_____,,_,_____~_M___._._,____~.~__._~__._"___~'_,._"". ~--.~-._..--..".__.,_.._._.----.-'-"-----~+~.-.--.,,-. ,',. .,.
additional salary increases effective May 1, 1999. Our benefit costs will change effective July
1, 1999; however, I am not proposing to adjust our billing rates to your agency to reflect those
increased costs during the life of this agreement.
Please contact me with any questions or concerns at 229-7308. In order for the Central San
Board to consider the agreement at their first meeting in March, I will need to have it back by
February 22,1999. I look forward to working with you.
Sincerely,
Cathryn R. Freitas
Human Resources Manager

ISSUE: District staff has assessed its needs for seasonal employees in 199
..,
BACKGROUND: Each year, the District hires students during the summer months for
seasonal maintenance, vacation relief, cleanup, and special projects; and during the school
year or semester breaks for additional assistance. Authorization was given for thirty-
seven student positions last year. Approval is requested for thirty-two seasonal positions
in Fiscal Year 1999-2000.
Salaries for seasonal employees have not been modified since 1990. Consequently, the
Board at its February 4, 1999, meeting, authorized increasing the hourly rates for seasonal
employees as follows:
Student Positions
Clerical, Laborer (No experience necessary)
Technical (Drafting)
Professional (Chemist, Engineer)
ProDosed Salary.
$10.00
$11.50
$13.50
* For every year a student returns, add $1.00 per hour to a maximum of three additional summers:
For example, a student laborer who has worked here for the past two summers would receive $12.00
per hour this summer. The extra dollar an hour recognizes the experience and serves as an incentive
for returning students.
The approximate cost of this action will be $250,640 from departmental 0 & M Budgets.

laborer positions and one less clerical position than last year's request. The laborer
positions will work on field crews to supplement staffing during vacation periods and to
expand the number of construction crews for repair work in easements. The two clerical
positions are for vacation relief and to assist with special projects. The Network Support
Assistant will assist in maintaining and upgrading computer workstations.
Plant Operations
The Plant Operations Department is requesting one less position than last year; therefore,
this year's request is for fourteen students. Six of the summer student laborer positions
will provide coverage for the vacant regular position in Buildings and Grounds and will aid
in the Aeration and Nitrification Tank Project, and do seasonal maintenance. The Plant is
also requesting one relief position in the Laboratory, one drafter, two laborers in the
Pumping Stations, three Shop Assistants, and one laborer to assist the maintenance staff.
Engineering
The Engineering Department requests authorization to hire two engineering assistant
summer student positions. This is one less position than last year's request. One of the
engineering assistants will be assigned to work on pollution prevention for the Source
Control Section and the other will be assigned to the District's Planning Section and will
work on nitrification studies and wet weather capacity evaluations.

ISSUE: The Deferred Compensation Plan Advisory Committee (Committee)
submits its 1998 Annual Report.
BACKGROUND: The Board of Directors approved the establishment of the Committee in
January 1982. The scope of activities of the Committee includes:
· Establishing internal administrative procedures
· Educating participants regarding the Plan
· Reviewing emergency withdrawal requests
· Reviewing investment performance of the Plan
· Submission of an annual report to the Board of Directors and Plan participants
The Committee is made up of the following Departmental representatives:
Debbie Ratcliff, Controller - Chairperson
David Rolley, Accounting Technician III - Administrative
Dennis Hall, Associate Engineer - Engineering
Ron Galloway, Maintenance Crew leader - Collection System Operations
Bill McEachen, Assistant Control Systems Engineer - Plant Operations
At the Board Meeting of October 15, 1998, the 1997 Annual Report of the Deferred
Compensation Plan Advisory Committee was submitted. This Annual Report had been
revised to reflect only 1997 calendar year financial results as opposed to the fiscal year.
At that time, staff proposed that in the future, the Annual Report would continue to be
reported on a calendar year basis. The board authorized this change in format. Therefore,
the current Annual Report reflects the financial results for calendar year 1998.
RECOMMENDATION: Receive the Annual Report of the Deferred Compensation Plan
Advisory Committee for 1998 and provide any comments to staff.

DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLAN ADVISORY COMMITTEE ANNUAL REPORT
JANUARY 1998 - DECEMBER 1998
The Deferred Compensation Plan Advisory Committee (the Committee) was established
by the Board of Directors to facilitate the internal administration of the District's Deferred
Compensation Plan. The scope of the Committee's activities encompass the following:
· Establish internal District administrative procedures within the provisions of the
Deferred Compensation Plan document.
· Educate participants regarding the Plan provisions by issuing a handbook which
summarizes the Deferred Compensation Plan and responding to questions from
participants.
· Review accountability by the Program Administrators, Hartford Life Insurance
Company (Hartford), Washington Mutual Bank (Washington Mutual), and ICMA
Retirement Corporation (ICMA) and respond to participants' queries regarding
accuracy or propriety of account balances.
· Review participants' requests for emergency withdrawal of funds and make
recommendations for acceptance or denial to Board of Directors.
· Review investment performance of the Deferred Compensation Plan on an annual
basis.
During the period January 1998 through December 1998, the Committee addressed all
of the activities included in its scope of responsibilities through the conscientious efforts
of all of the Committee members.
The performance of Hartford, Washington Mutual, and ICMA in administering the Deferred
Compensation Plan during the 1998 report period is considered to be satisfactory. The
performance results of the Hartford, Washington Mutual, and ICMA stock and bond
investments for the calendar year 1998 follow.

market. It is comprised of 30 corporations spanning many different industries. It is
price weighted meaning that a $2 change in a $100 per share stock will have a greater
affect than a $2 change in a $20 per share stock. Measuring the Dow Jones Industrial
Average is used to gauge the direction of the stock market.
· Standard & Poors 500 is an index which measures broad-based changes in stock
market conditions based on the average performance of 500 widely held common
stocks.
· Lehman Brothers Bond Index, an unmanaged list of U.S. Treasury/Agency and
investment grade corporate debt securities, is used as a general measure of
performance of fixed income securities.

REVIEWED AND RECOMMENDED FOR BOARD ACTION:

ISSUE: The Self-Insurance Fund (SIF) is to be reviewed each year by the Board of
Directors with the staff presenting funding recommendations for the upcoming fiscal year.
BACKGROUND: The District has self-insured most of its liability and some of its property
risks since July 1, 1986, when the Board approved the establishment of the Self-
Insurance Fund. The SIF has effectively funded District losses over its twelve year history
and it remains financially sound.
In 1994, a new Government Accounting Standards Board Statement No.1 0 (GASB-1 0)
set forth requirements on how public agencies must fund their self-insured risks. To
assure compliance with GASB-1 0, the District restructured the SIF into three sub-funds.
Each of the three (3) sub-funds were established for funding specific risks:
. SUB-FUND A: GASB-10 Actuarially-based risks. These include general liability and
automobile liability risks. Under the requirements of GASB-1 0, risks that could be
actuarially studied must be funded based on an actuarial study which must be done
every two years. General liability and automobile liability are readily studied
throughout the insurance and self-insurance world to determine funding levels for
these liabilities. The District last obtained an actuarial review of its self-insured
general liability and automobile liability in 1996 which projected losses for these
risks. The actuarial estimate of $675,000 was designated as Actuarial Reserve for
liability of these risks and Sub-Fund A was established to insure these risks based
on the District's having a $10,000,000 excess liability policy with a $500,000 self-
insured retention. Budget planning for the 1999-2000 fiscal year has resulted in
an allocation of $675,000 to Sub-Fund A.

Subject: REVIEW THE FINANCIAL STATUS AND BUDGET OF THE SELF-INSURANCE FUND
AND APPROVE THE ALLOCATION OF $150,000 TO THE FUND FROM THE 1999-2000
O&M BUDGET
An actuarial study is currently in progress to meet the requirements of GASB-1 O. The
final allocation of funds in Sub-Fund A may be adjusted prior to the final budget adoption
to comply with the standard.
. SUB-FUND B: GASB-10 Non-actuarially-based risks. These include employment
related and pollution related risks. GASB-10 requires that all potential risks,
including employment related and pollution related, be adequately and soundly
funded even though these risks are not actuarially reviewed. An actuarial study
was not required for these risks since losses for employment related and pollution
related risks are often predicted with less accuracy because these types of cases
occur infrequently but may result in extremely high costs and losses. With
guidance from risk management and insurance specialists, the District established
Sub-Fund B at $2,450,000 to fund employment related and pollution related risks
based on the purchase of the above mentioned excess liability insurance policy.
The liability policies provide limited coverage in the areas pollution and employment
related risks. A further review by staff indicated that allocating $2,450,000 to
Sub-Fund B in fiscal year 1999-2000 is appropriate.
. SUB-FUND C: Non-GASB-10 risks. This Sub-Fund covers risk management
program insurance premiums, potential losses from uninsurable risks, and the
costs of initiating claims and lawsuits against others who have damaged the
District. The District established this Sub-Fund to finance non-GASB-10 risks
under our risk management program. Specific costs include: insurance premiums
for a $10,000,000 excess liability policy; and insurance premiums for insuring
District properties for fire, explosion, water damage, etc. for losses above
$500,000. This Sub-Fund should be maintained at a level to support these defined
costs as well as to cover the required $250,000 property damage self-insured
retention and provide adequate funds to replenish Sub-Fund A or B and was initially
established at a level above $2,000,000. Sub-Fund C is projected to be at a level
of $1,893,352 ending June 30, 1999 and $1,566,852 ending June 30, 2000.
Exhibit I (attached) presents a recent financial history and projection of the SIF and shows
that the total reserves are projected at $5,018,352 ending June 30, 1999. This is a
decrease of $350,160 over the total SIF reserves of $5,368,512 at the beginning of the
1998-1999 budget year.

Subject: REVIEW THE FINANCIAL STATUS AND BUDGET OF THE SELF-INSURANCE FUND
AND APPROVE THE ALLOCATION OF $150,000 TO THE FUND FROM THE 1999-2000
O&M BUDGET
During 1998-1999, the District experienced settlements of a long term case and a large
overflow loss. The costs of these cases resulted in major charges against both Sub-Fund
A and Sub-Fund C of the SIF and required the transfer of funds out of Sub-Fund C to
reestablish the funding requirements of Sub-Fund A. Since several major lawsuits have
been resolved, a more normal loss experience is expected in the upcoming year as
reflected in the 1999-2000 budget.
The 1999-2000 SIF budget estimates total revenues of $430,000 and total expenses of
$756,500, which will bring the projected 1999-2000 total SIF to $4,691,852 on June
30, 2000. The budgeted revenues include a recommended allocation of $150,000 from
the 1999-2000 O&M budget to the SIF. The $150,000 allocation would help maintain
the SIF at a funding level as directed and approved by the Board in the 1998-1999 fiscal
year budget process. Budgeted revenues do not include any recovery from prior
insurance coverages but only interest earned on the fund.
In summary, the funding reserves for the SIF, as established by GASB-1 0 is the sum of
Sub-Fund A and Sub-Fund B which totals $3,125,000, as well as Sub-Fund C of
$1,566,852, to achieve the total SIF of $4,691,852 on June 30, 2000. Therefore, in
keeping with the Board's direction last year, staff recommends that $150,000 be
allocated from the O&M budget to maintain the SIF at its current level and provide prudent
reserves for funding District losses.
RECOMMENDATION: Review the financial history and projection for the Self-Insurance
Fund and approve the allocation of $150,000 from the 1999-2000 O&M budget.
