ISSUE: LAFCO has amended the boundaries of parcels 8 and 9 included within District
Annexation 145. This amendment added all properties within an "island area" within the
District's boundary and changed the two parcels into one annexation parcel. The District
must hold a public hearing and consider testimony by affected property owners before
acting on the proposed amended annexation.
BACKGROUND: The above-referenced annexation consisting of ten separate parcels was
sent to LAFCO as required for the formal annexation process.
LAFCO amended the boundaries of parcels 8 and 9 during its approval process. These
amendments were made to improve the continuity of the resulting District boundary. In
amending the boundaries of this District annexation, LAFCO added sufficient properties
to change the subject annexation from uninhabited to inhabited (12 or more registered
voters). District staff has obtained signed annexation petitions from 10 of the 11
properties included within this annexation and has not had any objection to the annexation
from the one parcel that did not return a signed petition. The amended annexation area
is shown on Attachment 1.
CEQA REQUIREMENTS: CCCSD staff has concluded that the proposed annexation is
categorically exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) under District
CEQA Guidelines Section 18.14 because the areas included within the annexation contain
existing structures developed to the densities allowed by the local land-use planning
agency and the extension of sewer service would have capacity to serve only those
existing facilities. Approval of this annexation will establish the Board of Directors'
independent finding that the annexation is exempt from CEQA.

Board Meeting Date: July 1, 1999
Subject: CONDUCT PUBLIC HEARING AND CONSIDER INHABITED DISTRICT
ANNEXATION 145, PARCELS 8 AND 9, AS AMENDED BY THE LOCAL AGENCY
FORMATION COMMISSION (LAFCO)
ANNEXATION REQUIREMENTS: District Annexation 145, parcels 8 and 9, as submitted
to LAFCO were single area annexations. The action by LAFCO separated a portion of
District Annexation 145 into the subject inhabited annexation (12 or more registered
voters), which requires a public hearing.
Legal notice was published, and the affected property owners were notified of the public
hearing as required by law.
Factors to be considered by the Board in deciding to approve or disapprove the proposed
annexation are set forth as Attachment 2.
Following its review, the Board, not more than thirty (30) days after the conclusion of the
public hearing, shall adopt a resolution reflecting the appropriate action taken.
RECOMMENDATION:
1. Conduct the public hearing on the annexation.
Adopt a Resolution independently finding that the annexation IS exempt from
CEQA, and taking one of the following actions:
a. Order the annexation if no written protests are filed.
b. Order the annexation subject to confirmation by election by the registered
voters residing within the territory proposed to be annexed if written
protests have been filed and not withdrawn by either of the following:
(1) At least 25 percent but less than 50 percent of the registered voters
residing within the affected territory, or
(2) At least 25 percent of the number of owners of land who also own at
least 25 percent of the assessed value of land within the affected
territory.

Type a/Action: AUTHORIZE AWARD
No.: 5.a. BIDS AND AWARDS
Subject: AUTHORIZE AWARD OF A CONSTRUCTION CONTRACT TO J. F. PACIFIC

TREATMENT, DISTRICT PROJECT 5328

ISSUE: On June 21, 1999 sealed bids were received and opened for the construction of
the Martinez Transmission Sewer Project - Chemical Treatment, District Project 5328.
The Board of Directors must authorize award of the contract or reject bids within 50 days
of the bid opening.
BACKGROUND: The sewage conveyance system from the city of Martinez to the
treatment plant consists of three miles of reinforced concrete gravity sewer pipes (see
Attachment 1 for project location) and three miles of pressure force mains. As part of an
on-going corrosion evaluation of gravity sewers, the Martinez Transmission gravity sewers
were inspected to check their condition. The inspections concluded that these gravity
sewers had been subjected to corrosive conditions and that the corrosion rate needed to
be controlled to prolong the life of these pipelines. Even though some corrosion had taken
place, the inspections also concluded that the majority of the pipeline is in sound
structural condition. A project to replace the pipe that was found to be in poor structural
condition is currently in the design phase with construction scheduled to occur this fall.
A method currently used to control the corrosion of concrete sewer pipe is to apply a layer
of high alkaline material to the interior exposed pipe surface. This high alkaline material
(magnesium hydroxide) stops bacterial growth on the pipe and acts as a buffering agent
to acid attack of the pipe wall. The material is applied to the pipe walls with equipment
inserted into the sewer under normal operation. The material is typically effective for 12
to 18 months and then must be reapplied. This method of practice is currently being used
in other major California cities such as Fresno, Los Angeles, and Stockton. It represents
a cost effective method for increasing the service life of concrete gravity sewer pipe.

POSITION PAPER
Board Meeting Date: July 1, 1999
Subject: AUTHORIZE AWARD OF A CONSTRUCTION CONTRACT TO J. F. PACIFIC
LINERS, INC. FOR MARTINEZ TRANSMISSION SEWER PROJECT - CHEMICAL
TREATMENT, DISTRICT PROJECT 5328
The Martinez Transmission Sewer Project - Chemical Treatment will clean, inspect by
closed circuit television (CCTV), and apply magnesium hydroxide to these concrete gravity
sewer pipes. The plans and specifications for this project were prepared by District staff.
District staff will perform the construction management tasks for this construction
contract. The project was advertised on June 9 and June 14, 1999. One bid for
$103,798.95 was received and publicly opened on June 21, 1999. A summary of this
bid is shown in Attachment 2. The Capital Projects Division conducted a technical and
commercial evaluation of this bid and has determined that J. F. Pacific Liners, Inc. is the
lowest responsible bidder with a bid amount of $103,798.95.
The Engineer's Estimate for construction of this project was $70,000. This was based
upon information from projects bid at Fresno, Stockton, and the County Sanitation
Districts of Los Angeles County. In the western region of the country, there are two firms
that do this type of work. One is located in Vacaville and the other is in Phoenix, Arizona.
The size of this project only attracted one bidder, which is the primary reason for the
difference between the Engineer's estimate and the bid. The rejection of all bids and
rebidding of this project will result in missing the window of time for applying this
product. It is also anticipated that the new submitted bid(s) will not vary in cost from the
original bid. This method, if found to be successful, will avoid a potential replacement
cost of $6 million for the gravity sewer portion of the Martinez Transmission Sewer.
Staff has concluded that this project is exempt from the California Environmental Ouality
Act (CEOA) under District CEOA Guidelines Section 18.2, since this involves maintenance
of existing sewage facilities with no increase in capacity. Approval of this project will
establish the Board of Directors' independent finding that this project is exempt from
CEOA.
RECOMMENDATION: Authorize award of a construction contract to J. F. Pacific Liners,
Inc., the lowest responsible bidder, in the amount of $103,798.95 for cleaning, CCTV
inspection, and alkaline slurry application to 15,300 lineal feet of reinforced concrete
gravity sewer pipe for the Martinez Transmission Sewer Project - Chemical Treatment, DP
5328.

ISSUE: A resolution by the District's Board of Directors must be adopted to finalize District
Annexation 145, Parcels 1 through 7 and 10.
BACKGROUND: The District made application to the Local Agency Formation Commission
(LAFCO) for the annexation of ten parcels of land designated as District Annexation 145.
LAFCO has considered this request and has recommended that Parcels 1 through 7 and
10 as shown on the attachments be processed as submitted. No public hearing is
required and the annexation of these parcels can be completed.
District staff has concluded that the subject annexation is categorically exempt from the
California Environmental Quality Act (CEOA) under District CEQA Guidelines Section
18.14 because the areas included within the annexation contain existing structures
developed to the densities allowed by the local land-use planning agency and the
extension of sewer service would have capacity to serve only those existing facilities.
Approval of this annexation will establish the Board of Directors' independent finding that
the annexation is exempt from CEOA.
RECOMMENDATION: Adopt a resolution independently finding that the subject annexation
is categorically exempt from CEOA, and ordering the completion of District Annexation
145, Parcels 1 through 7 and 10.

RESOLUTION NO. 99-
A RESOLUTION ORDERING THE ANNEXATION OF TERRITORY
CONTAINED IN DISTRICT ANNEXATION NO. 145 (PARCELS 1 THROUGH 7 & 10)
TO THE CENTRAL CONTRA COSTA SANITARY DISTRICT
WHEREAS, the District Board of Central Contra Costa Sanitary District on
September 3, 1998, adopted Resolution 98-96, said Resolution being Resolution of
Application to the Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCO) of the County of Contra
Costa for annexation of certain properties to the Central Contra Costa Sanitary District
(CCCSD) to be known as District Annexation No. 145; and
WHEREAS, the reasons for this annexation are:
1 . These properties are within the ultimate service area of the District, as
previously approved by appropriate County agencies, and are or will be connected
in the near future to the sanitary sewer system of the District. The District is
assuming responsibility, upon annexation, for the continued maintenance and
operation of the public sewage facilities.
2. It is the requirement of the District that all served properties annex to the
District. (Refer to Sections 6830 and 6522 of the Health and Safety Code of the
State of California.)
3. Septic tank systems are inadequate for the area and could create a public
health problem.
4. The property owners have petitioned for annexation to the District, or have
requested and received sewer service subject to District regulations including
annexation.
- -
5. No other sewering agency can logically serve this area; and
WHEREAS, the Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCO) on May 12, 1999,
adopted Resolution No. 98-53, Making Determinations and Approving Proposed District
Annexation No. 145. Said Resolution amended the CCCSD proposal to include only
Parcels 1 through 7 and 10 as identified in the original application and assigned the
designation of District Annexation No. 145 and authorized the CCCSD Board of Directors
to initiate proceedings for annexation without notice and hearing; and
WHEREAS, said LAFCO Resolution No. 98-53 approved the annexation as amended
to the Central Contra Costa Sanitary District, subject to the terms and conditions therein;
and
Page 2 of 11
U:\P1an Review\Gregory\RESOL 145.2.wpd

categorically exempt from the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act
(CEOA).
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, DETERMINED, AND ORDERED THAT:
SECTION 1. Pursuant to Government Code Section 57082, the territory
encompassed in the description attached hereto as Exhibit "A" and incorporated herein
as District Annexation No. 145 (Parcels 1 through 7 and 10), be and the same hereby is
annexed to Central Contra Costa Sanitary District subject to all of the terms and
conditions specified in the Local Agency Formation Commission Resolution No. 98-53 and
subject to the Code, ordinances, rules, regulations, bonded indebtedness, and contractual
obligations of CCCSD. The regular county assessment roll will be utilized to assess all
affected properties.
SECTION 2. The method of exchange of property tax revenues for the parcels of
land within the subject Annexation shall be as previously agreed to by Contra Costa
County and Central Contra Costa Sanitary District.
SECTION 3. The Secretary of the Central Contra Costa Sanitary District shall
deliver six certified copies of this Resolution with applicable fees required by Section
54902.5 of the Government Code to the Executive Officer of the Local Agency Formation
Commission of Contra Costa County.

BOARD OF DIRECTORS
POSITION PAPER
Board Meeting Date: July 1, 1999
No.: 7.b. ENGINEERING
Type of Action: Authorize Amendment
Subject: AUTHORIZE THE GENERAL MANAGER TO EXECUTE AN AMENDMENT TO THE
AGREEMENT WITH TAP RESOURCE DEVELOPMENT GROUP, INC. FOR CONTINUATION
OF THE DESIGN AND IMPLEMENTATION OF EFFECTIVE ORGANIZATIONAL CHANGE
IN THE ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT
Submitted By:
Jay S. McCoy, Director of
Engineering
REVIEWED AND RECOMMENDED FOR BOARD ACTION:
Initiating Dept./Div. :
Engineering
h{~
~
General Manager
ISSUE: The Board of Directors' approval is requested for professional consultant
agreements or amendments over $25,000 that are funded from the Operations and
Maintenance Budget.
BACKGROUND: The Engineering Department, in 1998 engaged TAP Resource
Development Group, Inc. (TAP) to evaluate the Department's organization, culture, and
leadership for the purpose of identifying areas to change and to assist in making these
changes. The evaluation was a continuation of Work Redesign and is intended to lead to
the formation of action plans to address some of the Strategic Issues which were
developed by the Board and Staff in our Strategic planning efforts. TAP is a management
consultant company based in Denver, Colorado that assists organizations in facing the
challenges presented by change. TAP's clients include EBMUD, Delta Diablo Sanitary
District, City of Sacramento Water Department, San Francisco Water Department, and
Mount Pleasant South Carolina Water and Wastewater Department. The past work by
TAP has been coordinated with other local agencies such as EBMUD as will the future
work. By using this partnering approach to the scheduling of on site work by the TAP
consultants, costs to the District are being minimized.
TAP's work to date included a survey of all department employees to address the culture
(the way things are done to succeed) of the Department, a leadership survey, analysis of
the information obtained from the surveys, presentation of the findings, and development
of the Department's Strategic Plan. This work started in July of 1998 and has cost
slightly less than $25,000 thus far.

POSITION PAPER
Board Meeting Date: July 1, 1999
Subject: AUTHORIZE THE GENERAL MANAGER TO EXECUTE AN AMENDMENT TO THE
AGREEMENT WITH TAP RESOURCE DEVELOPMENT GROUP, INC. FOR CONTINUATION
OF THE DESIGN AND IMPLEMENTATION OF EFFECTIVE ORGANIZATIONAL CHANGE
IN THE ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT
At the Board meeting on June 17, the Board of Directors discussed the work proposed to
address organizational change in the Engineering Department. The discussion focused on
working on activities which may constrain the new Director of Engineering and also
eliminate the opportunity for the new Director to review progress to date and consider the
proposed activities early in the process. To address the Board's wishes, the original
concept of moving forward on the next organizational change activities has been modified.
The next activities will now include reviewing or refining existing department and division
goals, the development of new goals and, then, the establishment of measurements for
these goals. Rather than deciding on the specific goals and measurements before the new
Director is hired, those decisions will be postponed so that the new Director will be
involved in making those decisions.
In the meantime, a minimal effort is planned in the area of developing draft goals to
continue the process momentum. This will assist the new Director in addressing the
issues related to organizational change in the department. By so doing, the integrity of
the past process will be maintained and the likelihood of taking actions which may be
contrary to the organizational plans of the new Director will be eliminated. Because the
hiring of the new Director of Engineering is just two months away, approval of an
amendment to the TAP Resource Development Group's agreement, for the next activities
only, is requested so that the amendment can be processed before the new Director starts
work.
The next activities include the revising, refining, and development of possible goals and
measurements at a consultant cost not to exceed $5,000. Since the total cost of the
work by TAP will exceed $25,000 with the inclusion of the next activities, Board approval
of the additional cost is requested.
RECOMMENDATION: Authorize the General Manager to execute an amendment to the
agreement with Tap Resource Development Group, Inc. in an amount not to exceed
$5,000 for continuation of Engineering organizational change work.

No.: 7.c. ENGINEERING

Subject: AUTHORIZE EXECUTION OF AN AGREEMENT WITH WILLIAM R. AND LANA J.
BURNS RELATIVE TO CONSTRUCTION OF STORM DAMAGE REPAIRS AT 1232
CARMEL COURT, WALNUT CREEK, 1998 STORM DAMAGE REPAIR PROJECT,
DISTRICT PROJECT NO. 5205
Submitted By:
Curtis W. Swanson
Initiating Dept./Div. :
Engineering/Environmental Services Division
RE~~~ AND RECDMM;;OR BOARD ACTION,
C. Swanson I J. McCoy
ISSUE: The Board of Directors must authorize agreements involving joint construction
projects.
BACKGROUND: The District owns an easement for a 30-inch trunk sewer across property
owned by William R. and Lana J. Burns and located at 1232 Carmel Court in Walnut Creek
. (see attached map). This 30-inch trunk sewer serves portions of the Walnut Creek and
San Ramon Valley areas. The Burns' property is located on the banks of Walnut Creek
channel. During the 1998 winter, high creek flows and high rainfall caused erosion to the
creek bank. This erosion has not damaged the District's trunk sewer, however potential
future erosion of the creek bank threatens the integrity of the pipeline.
The property owners have approached the District about partiCipating in a bank
stabilization project to protect their property as well as the District's sewer. The proposed
project is to construct a gabion wall along the creek bank to stabilize the bank and prevent
future erosion. Gabions are wire baskets (approximately 3 feet by 3 feet by 6 feet), filled
with 6-inch rocks. The gabions are stacked together to create a wall. The estimated cost
of this repair is $84,000. There has been no assertion by the Burns that the District's
trunk sewer has caused or aggravated erosion of the creek bank.
To preserve and protect this major trunk sewer, staff believes it is beneficial to participate
with the Burns to stabilize the creek bank. Staff has negotiated an agreement with the
property owners to share costs and responsibilities of the proposed gabion wall. Under
the proposed agreement, the property owner will be responsible for design, construction,
and maintenance of the gabion wall repair. Upon completion of the project, the District
will pay for one-half of the project cost, estimated to be $42,000. The District will have

the right to review the design, approve selection of the contractor, and periodically inspect
the construction of the gabion wall repair. Upon completion of the project, the property
owner will own the gabion wall and will be responsible for ongoing maintenance.
Staff has concluded that this Agreement is exempt from the California Environmental
Quality Act (CEQA) under District CEOA Guidelines, Section 18.2(b), since it involves
repairs and minor alterations to existing public sewer facilities. Approval of this
agreement will establish the Board of Directors' independent finding that this agreement
is exempt from CEOA.
RECOMMENDATION: Authorize the General Manager to execute an agreement with
William R. and Lana J. Burns, property owners of 1232 Carmel Court relative to
construction of a gabion wall to repair storm damage, 1998 Storm Damage Repair Project,
District Project No. 5205.

Board Meeting Date: July 1, 1999
No.: 8.a. TREATMENT PLANT
Type of Action: AUTHORIZE AGREEMENT
Subject: AUTHORIZE THE GENERAL MANAGER TO ENTER INTO A NATURAL GAS
PURCHASE AGREEMENT

Plant Operations/Maintenance
NO RECOMMENDED FOR BOARD ACTION:

K. ALlvi ~ Charles W. Batts,
General Manager
ISSUE: Authorization by the Board of Directors is requested to enter into a natural
gas purchase agreement.
BACKGROUND: The District continues to use natural gas (NG) as fuel for the
treatment plant cogeneration system and as backup fuel to landfill gas (LFG) used in
the multiple-hearth furnaces (MHF) and the auxiliary steam boilers. The total
projected FY 1999-2000 usage of NG for the treatment plant site is expected to be
425,000 decatherms (dth).
The District currently purchases natural gas from Coral Energy Resources under a
contract whose one-year term expires on June 30, 1999. The District exercised its
option to continue on a month-to-month basis. The District plans to continue
purchasing natural gas on a month-to-month basis, while evaluating when to commit
to a longer-term contract.
At the end of the current contract, the District was purchasing natural gas at
$2.50/dth. The current one-year fixed price is now approximately $2.70 per dth.
When OPEC raised oil prices on March 19, 1999, natural gas prices also increased
and have remained high throughout the spring. The market now suggests that the
cooler than normal summer and warmer than normal winter have led to a large gas
inventory. The effect of this large inventory has recently led to a softening of the
market for natural gas. It is anticipated that the prices for natural gas will continue
to fall through late summer to potentially be as low as last year's contract price.
Staff seeks the authority to enter into a purchase agreement when the overall natural
gas price and contract term appear to be optimum for the District. More specifically,
staff requests the authority to enter into a contract for natural gas of a term not to
exceed one year, at a price not to exceed $ 2. 70/dth, and from a supplier with an

established, positive reputation. Staff further seeks to be able to exercise this
authority at its discretion within the next six months without further Board action.
Once a contract has been executed, staff will report back to the Board at the next
available Board meeting with the terms and conditions.
RECOMMENDATION: Authorize the General Manager to enter into a natural gas
purchase agreement for an original term of one year or less at a price not to exceed
$2.70/dth.
