CONSENT CALENDAR Date: February 10, 1999 Type of Action: APPROVE GRANT OF EASEMENT AGREEMENT Subject: APPROVE AND EXECUTE GRANT OF EASEMENT FROM CONTRA COSTA COUNTY, JOB 5189, PARCEL TWO, ALAMO AREA Submitted By: Dennis Hall Initiating Dept./Div. : Engineering/Environmental Services DH :,1//1/ / JSM ~ I)V Roger J. Dolan GM-CE ISSUE: Easements which are granted by other public agencies require specific approval by the Board of Directors. BACKGROUND: The subject easement is for an existing sewer main (constructed in 1996) which serves three homes on Los Alamos Court in Alamo. This easement is located on the former Southern Pacific Railroad right-of-way presently owned by Contra Costa County south of Hemme Avenue. This easement covers a small area between the District's existing easement in the former SP right-of-way and the west side of the right- of-way. The District accepted an easement from the County for a portion of the Pleasant Hill Relief Interceptor - Phase III, which uses the same language as the subject document. The District will be needing easements for similar main line extensions and the County has indicated that in the future it will also use the subject document. This project (the proposed easement) has been evaluated by staff and determined to be exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) under District CEQA Guidelines Section 18.6, since it involves a minor alteration in land use limitations. RECOMMENDATION: Approve and execute Grant of Easement from Contra Costa County, Job No. 5189, Parcel 2, and authorize the Grant of Easement to be recorded.

The Pavement Refurbishments project, DP 6074, removed existing failed pavement and installed a deep lift paving section to provide additional strength in the failed areas. The project installed a petro mat fabric and placed a 1-1/2 inch asphaltic concrete overlay over the entire parking lot including the entrance access gate area. . The Electrical Feeder Replacement project, DP 6096, replaced the electrical feeders from Substation 40 and MVMC 48 "A" and 48 "B" which were installed around 1975. These feeders supply the 2,300 volt power to the facilities north of the clearwell which include the back wash pumps and the recycled water pumps. . The Treatment Plant Roof Replacement - Phase 2 project, DP 6120, replaced the roofs over the Machine Shop and the Pump and Blower Building. The 5A treatment plant structures were built in the mid-1970s and the 20-year roof life had expired. Replacement or rehabilitation was prudent to prevent damage and reduce maintenance costs. COLLECTION SYSTEM PROGRAM CAPITAL PROJECTS TO BE CLOSED OUT . The Bollinger Canyon Leach Field project, DP 4797, in San Ramon, abandoned an existing 4-inch leach line and a 8 and 10-inch sewer main (approximately 5,900 linear feet) in Bollinger Canyon Road. This leach line system was installed more than 30 years ago as a temporary replacement for septic tanks. . The Tanglewood Easements project, DP 5052, provided funds for the purchase of an easement over existing sanitary sewer pipelines in the Tanglewood Subdivision, Lafayette. An Offer of Dedication for an additional easement in the Tanglewood Subdivision related to a future sewer extension was also obtained but paid for by private property owners. U:\PPr\JJM.Close Out of 9 CIPs.wpd Page 3 of 4 · The Crescent Drive Storm Damage project, DP 5162, consisted of work at three sites on Miner Road, Los Arabis Drive and Crescent Drive in Orinda and Lafayette. The landslides and storm damage occurred during two storm years. The work at Crescent Drive consisted of installing two retaining walls behind two houses and above the sewer line, with drainage slope improvements to protect the sewer pipe in an easement. The work at Los Arabis Drive consisted of slope restoration on a parcel of land owned by the District. The work at Miner Road consisted of installation of a 60-inch culvert under an existing sewer main and rock rip-rap protection on the creek banks. · The Leona Court CAD 97-2 project, DP 5240, was the second Contractual Assessment District and included the installation of 400 feet of 8-inch diameter sewer in Leona Court, Alamo. The project provides sewer service to eight properties. The owners of four of these properties are paying the cost of the project. · The Rossmoor Sewer Improvements - Phase 4 project, DP 5268, was the fourth phase of a ten-year improvement plan for the retirement community. The District is taking over maintenance of a portion of the sewer system each year. This year's work consisted of installing 55 new manholes and 11 new rodding inlets. Also, nine spot repairs were made and approximately 1,000 feet of new sewer pipe was installed. The entire sewer system to be taken over this year (approximately 10,000 linear feet) was television inspected. Easements for the sewers were prepared and filed. · The M-6 Cathodic Protection project, DP 6117, replaced the existing deep anode well and added an additional deep anode well and rectifier. The M-6 system conveys wastewater from Martinez Pumping Station to Fairview Pumping Station and consists of two force mains.

ENGINEERING Date: February 10, 1999 Type of Action: AUTHORIZE AGREEMENT Subject: AUTHORIZE THE GENERAL MANAGER-CHIEF ENGINEER TO EXECUTE AN AGREEMENT WITH MONTGOMERY WATSON FOR PROFESSIONAL ENGINEERING DESIGN SERVICES FOR THE OUTFALL IMPROVEMENTS PROJECT, PHASE 4, DISTRICT PROJECT 7184 Submitted By: Ba T. Than, Associate Engineer Initiating Dept./Div. : Engineering Department, Capital Projects Division REVIEWED AND RECO~ ;R BOARD A ION, BToT ~ BTT ~ GM-CE ISSUE: Authorization of the Board of Directors is required for the General Manager-Chief Engineer to execute a professional services agreement in an amount greater than $50,000. BACKGROUND: Final effluent from the District's wastewater treatment plant is discharged to Suisun Bay through an outfall pipeline that was constructed in 1958. Wet weather and dry weather peak daily flows exceeding 60 million gallons per day (mgd) must be pumped. The existing final effluent pumping system, constructed as part of the original secondary plant in the late 1970s, consists of two 90-mgd pumps. A long-term, multi-phase program to improve the outfall and effluent pumping system was initiated in 1984. Phase 1 established alternatives for maximizing effluent discharge capacity, produced a partial outfall maintenance management plan, and developed a methodology for the next phase dewatering inspection and rehabilitation. Phase 2, initiated in 1988, consisted of dewatering the outfall, conducting detailed joint inspections, applying seals to damaged joints, installing thrust restraints and permanent access structures, and providing surge protection with three air-relief valves. Phase 3 installed one primary effluent pump and additional surge protection for the outfall, and was completed in 1997. Several work components of Phase 4 have already been completed in the last fiscal year (1997-98). These included reinstallation of flexible neoprene flaps on the submarine diffusers and installation of additional inclinometer casings along the outfall alignment at the Acme Landfill and IT's Baker Site. In Winter 1997-98, when the plant flow exceeded 100 mgd on several occasions, both final effluent pumps were put in service; thus, no backup pump was available. During these high flow events, the weir structure also developed leaks. The remaining Phase 4 project work will improve final effluent pumping capacity by installing one additional final effluent pump and rehabilitating two existing 25- L:\Position Papers\BTHAN\7184MWAuthowpd Page 1 of 3 POSITION PAPER Date: February 10, 1999 Subject: AUTHORIZE THE GENERAL MANAGER-CHIEF ENGINEER TO EXECUTE AN AGREEMENT WITH MONTGOMERY WATSON FOR PROFESSIONAL ENGINEERING DESIGN SERVICES FOR THE OUTFALL IMPROVEMENTS PROJECT, PHASE 4, DISTRICT PROJECT 7184 year-old final effluent pumps. This project will also rehabilitate the weir structure to eliminate leaks. On August 11, 1998, Requests for Proposals for the design of Phase 4 were sent to eight qualified professional engineering consultant firms: G. S. Dodson & Associates, Black and Veatch, John Carollo Engineers, CH2M Hill, Montgomery Watson, Brown and Caldwell, Camp Dresser & McKee, Inc. and Kenedy/Jenks Consultants. Four firms expressed interest and participated in a site visit and technical discussions with staff. On September 16, 1998, two design proposals were received from Montgomery Watson and G. S. Dodson & Associates. Initial review of these two proposals indicated that Montgomery Watson had proposed a superior technical approach for design of the new final effluent pump. Montgomery Watson also proposed a team with a higher level of experience in instrumentation and electrical design, as well as a thorough knowledge of the District's facilities and processes. The next step in the consultant selection process was to interview the two candidate firms, but G. S. Dodson & Associates declined to participate in the interview process. Therefore, Montgomery Watson is recommended to be the designer for this project. A professional engineering design services agreement, with a cost ceiling of $260,000, has been negotiated with Montgomery Watson. The Outfall Improvements Project, Phase 4, is included in the Fiscal Year 1998-99 Capital Improvement Budget on pages TP-13 through TP-16. The design phase is scheduled to last through August 1999. Construction is anticipated to begin in September 1999 and will completed by October 2001. The estimated project cost at the planning level is $4,500,000 (see Appendix A for cost breakdown). Staff has concluded that this project is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) under District CEQA Guidelines Section 18.2, since it involves a minor alteration to an existing sewage facility with no increase in capacity. The proposed final effluent pump would serve as a backup to the existing pumps and would not be operated in conjunction with them. Approval of this project establishes the Board of Directors' independent finding that this project is exempt from CEQA. RECOMMENDATION: Authorize the General Manager-Chief Engineer to execute a professional engineering design services agreement, with a cost ceiling of $260,000, with Montgomery Watson for the Outfall Improvements Project, Phase 4, District Project 7184.

Dhaliwal, Laboratory Superintendent Initiating Dept./Div. : Plant Operations/Operations BSD !:;-/e DJC ~K REVIEWED AND RECOMMENDED FOR BOARD ACTION: ~Sl> . ISSUE: The Central Contra Costa Sanitary District's (CCCSD) 1998 National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES), Collection System Overflow Monitoring Program, and the Recycled Water Quality and Distribution Reports have been prepared for submission to the California Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB), San Francisco Bay Section. These annual reports, which are sent separately to the Board of Directors, are presented for their information and acceptance. BACKGROUND: Treatment Plant -- There was a total of 18,615 million gallons of wastewater treated at an average flow of 51 million gallons per day. This average flow is about 16 percent more than the 1997 average of 43 million gallons per day and is mainly due to increased precipitation. The treatment plant produced an effluent with an annual average carbonaceous biochemical oxygen demand (CBOD) and total suspended solids (TSS) concentration of 6 mg/L each, respectively. These concentrations are markedly lower than our NPDES permit standards of 25 and 30 mg/L each. CBOD and TSS removal efficiency for the treatment plant averaged 96 percent each. Solids disposal during the year involved the incineration of dewatered sludge in the District's multiple- hearth furnaces. Approximately 5,110 tons of furnace ash was produced. The ash met regulatory requirements for final disposal throughout the year. The treatment plant met all (more than 2,000) NPDES permit requirements throughout the year except for one effluent acute toxicity, one effluent mercury concentration, and one receiving water pH variation excursion. These events are summarized below, and further details can be found in the attached report. s:\Lab\SlfMon98\PosPpr. wpdS :\LAB\SlfMon98\PosPpr. wpd Page 1 of 3 POSITION PAPER Date: February 10, 1999 Subject: BOARD ACCEPTANCE OF THE 1998 NATIONAL POLLUTANT DISCHARGE ELIMINATION SYSTEM, COLLECTION SYSTEM OVERFLOW MONITORING PROGRAM, AND THE RECYCLED WATER QUALITY AND DISTRIBUTION REPORTS The effluent acute toxicity is measured by testing the survival of stickleback (fish) in undiluted effluent in flow-through bioassays. The District's NPDES permit allows only one less-than-70 percent survival occurrence in the previous ten regular bioassays. The survival of stickleback in September's regular flow-through bioassay (September 14 through 18) was 32 percent. There was a 65 percent stickleback survival in August's regular bioassay; thus, a 32 percent survival for September 14 through 18 bioassay constituted a NPDES permit violation. There was no observed treatment plant process upset related to the September toxicity occurrence. Grab effluent samples taken from the bioassay tank on September 17 and 18 (the days of fish mortality) were analyzed. The analyses did not show any known toxic organic compounds or metal concentrations in the effluent that would be expected to cause toxicity. Because of limited sample volume (5 liters only), we could not perform additional procedures to determine the cause of the toxicity. The effluent toxicity on the following day was gone, and thus, there was no new sample to analyze. Consequently, the causes of the September 14 through 18, 1998, toxicity are unknown. On December 16, 1998, the effluent 24-hour composite sample recorded a mercury concentration of 0.3 J.lg/L, which exceeded the District's NPDES permit monthly average limitation of 0.2 J.lg/L. The influent concentration for the same day was 1.7 J.lg/L, which was unusually high. A week-long followup investigation into this exceedence found both our influent and effluent mercury concentrations had returned to normal. The Source Control Section of the Engineering Department is investigating possible illegal discharge of mercury into our collection system. On March 11, 1998, the receiving water sampling Station C1 (the closest to the effluent discharge) recorded a pH of 8.4 units. The reference station (located about 1,000 feet upstream of the effluent discharge) recorded a pH of 7.8 units; thus, the pH deviation at Station C1 exceeded the 0.5 unit maximum allowed by the NPDES permit. The above pH deviation exceedence was probably not related to the effluent discharge because the pH data of the effluent indicated that the effluent pH did not exceed 8.0 units that day. s :\Lab\SlfMon98\PosPpr. wpdS :\LAB\SlfMon98\PosPpr. wpd Page 2 of 3 POSITION PAPER Oat.: February 11, 1999 Subject: BOARD ACCEPTANCE OF THE 1998 NATIONAL POLLUTANT DISCHARGE ELIMINATION SYSTEM, COLLECTION SYSTEM OVERFLOW MONITORING PROGRAM, AND THE RECYCLED WATER QUALITY AND DISTRIBUTION REPORTS Collection System -- There were 40 reportable collection system overflows (overflows exceeding 100 gallons in volume). Ten of the reportable overflows exceeded 1,000 gallons in volume and were the subject of written reports submitted to the RWQCB. Five of these occurred during wet weather; four were due to wet weather capacity problems; and one was due to an equipment failure at a pumping station. The five dry weather overflows can be categorized: three were due to pipe failures, and two were due to the activities of construction contractors. There was also a recycled water overflow in July 1998. Further details on the overflows can be found in the attached reports. Recycled Water Quality and Distribution -- CCCSD distributed over 69.4 million gallons of filtered effluent for recycling to customers in the District's service area. Recycled water quality met all applicable RWQCS's Restricted Water Reuse Standards. There were ten users of recycled water in 1998. CCCSD plans to add another 6 to 7 users in 1999. Submittal to the RWQCB -- Upon acceptance of these reports by the CCCSD Board of Directors, they will be submitted to the California RWQCB. RECOMMENDATION: Accept the 1998 National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System, Collection System Overflow Monitoring Program, and Recycled Water Quality Distribution Reports. s:\lab\SlfMon98\Posppr. wpdS :\lAB\SlfMon98\PosPpr. wpd Page 3 of 3 . --~---"'-'._----<'-""..."",._-----.-_...,_.._,--~.__.-~----~-~-'''~'----''"~-'-"-----~_.'---''---- -"_.-~-_._--,._,-----~---,,,.-_..~._,- Central Contra Costa Sanitary District BOARD OF DIRECTORS POSITION PAPER Board Meeting Date: February 18,1999 No.: 9. a .

The net effect of the proposed action would add no new positions. The class description of a vacated position would be changed expanding the scope of activity. It also authorizes the filling of the vacancy. The proposed action has been reviewed by the Board of Directors at the January 7, 1999 meeting. BACKGROUND: The Safety & Risk Management Division is currently staffed by two Operations Safety Specialist, a Risk Management Technician and the Safety & Risk Manager. These individuals support the entire District in all areas of Risk Management, Safety, Loss Control, Insurance and Security. The handling of property claims that occur as a result of sewer overflows is currently being handled by the Operations Support Supervisor at CSO. The immediate response to sewer overflows has a dramatic impact on the District's ability to minimize the cost of these claims and to provide excellent customer service to our users. In 1998, the District reorganized the Safety and Risk Management Division and centralized all of the safety activities of this organization. The Division has also expanded its role in R:IDJCISafety&Risk. wpd Page 1 of 10 POSITION PAPER Date: February 10, 1999 Subject: CREATE AND ADD THE POSITION OF SAFETY & RISK MANAGEMENT SPECIALIST (S-75 $4,871-$5,897/MONTH), DELETE THE POSITION OF SAFETY AND LOSS CONTROL SPECIALIST (S-75 $4,871-$5,897/MONTH), ADOPT THE RESOLUTION ADDING THE JOB CLASSIFICATION TO THE MS/CG BARGAINING UNIT, ADOPT THE JOB CLASS DESCRIPTION OF SAFETY & RISK MANAGEMENT SPECIALIST AND AUTHORIZE THE FILLING OF THE POSITION the day to day activities of the organization supporting staff in all areas of risk management. The current functions of the Division have been reviewed and evaluated. The focus of the new division has been to actively address safety issues and to provide functional assistance as necessary. The division works closely with staff at all levels within the organization to provide service in areas of contract review, safety, security, loss control, insurance, claims management and all areas related to risk management. In May of 1999, Yvonne Granzatto, Operations Support Supervisor will be retiring. Ms Granzatto currently handles all overflow claims for the District and subsequently works with Risk Management to resolve the claimants issues. The function of claims management will transfer to the Safety & Risk Management Division upon the retirement of Ms Granzatto. There is an existing open and budgeted position within the Safety and Risk Management Division which is the Safety and Loss Control Specialist. This board action will modify the existing position and expand the knowledge and experience required for the position. This action will provide the Division the capacity and expertise necessary to handle the claims administration for all sewer overflow claims. The position will also handle existing tasks within the Division. These activities will include contract review, support of insurance related matters, claims management, and expansion of loss control activities intended to minimize the impact of losses on the District. The job classification will also allow the position to support the safety activities of the organization and will work with the District Worker's Compensation Carrier to insure the most cost effective program to the organization. This position will report directly to the Safety and Risk Manager. Based on the evaluation performed, the position will meet the change in service needs and will improve the functional capabilities of the Safety & Risk Management Division.

HUMAN RESOURCES Date: February 10,1999 Type of Action: DIRECT STAFF Subject AUTHORIZE GENERAL MANAGER TO FILL VACANT POSITIONS Submitted By: CATHRYN R. FREITAS, HUMAN RESOURCES MANAGER Initiating Dept./Div.: ADMINISTRA TIVE/HUMAN RESOURCES REVIEWED AND RECOMI~t:r FOR BOARD ACTION: ~ " CRF PM ,-/f- GM-CE ISSUE: The Board requested the opportunity to consider changing the current practice for authorizing the filling of vacant positions at the District. BACKGROUND: Historically, the decision to fill vacant positions has been the responsibility of the General Manager. In 1993, Board member John Clausen requested that all current budgeted District positions be reviewed by the Board Personnel Committee and approved by the full Board prior to staff recruiting to fill the vacancy. Following this practice, staff made requests to the Board Personnel Committee and the full Board to fill vacant budgeted positions as they arose throughout the year. Recently, the Board has questioned if it is appropriate to continue this practice as the District faces an increase in the number of vacancies and retirements. Accordingly, the practice for filling positions might be modified as follows: · The General Manager would be authorized to direct staff to recruit for vacant positions created by retirements, terminations, transfers, promotions, etc., as necessary for the operations of the District. The Board would be notified of the recruitment and appointment via the Human Resources monthly report to the Board; · The creation of new positions would continue to require Board action and approval as outlined in the District Code, Chapter Four, Section 4.04.030, Board authorization of positions and recoQnition of appointments. This Section states: "The Board shall authorize all positions provided in this Chapter and shall be advised on all appointments to such positions." RECOMMENDATION: Authorize the General Manager to direct staff to recruit for vacant positions as he determines necessary for the operations of the District and direct staff to notify the Board on a regular basis of the recruitment for vacant positions.

LEGAL/LITIGATION Date: February 10, 1999 Type of Action: ADOPT REVISED SETTLEMENT AUTHORITY OF GENERAL MANAGER Subject: ADOPT A REVISED RESOLUTION GRANTING SETTLEMENT AUTHORITY TO THE GENERAL MANAGER PURSUANT TO GOVERNMENT CODE SECTION 935.4 FOR THE PURPOSE OF THE COMPROMISE AND SETTLEMENT OF CLAIMS AGAINST THE DISTRICT Submitted By: David J. Clovis Safety & Risk Manager Initiating Dept./Div. : Administrative/Safety & Risk Management REVIEWED AND RECOMMENDED FOR BOARD ACTION: VvC?- DJC -i6 GM-CE ISSUE: Board of Directors approval is required to adopt the resolution for settlement authority for claims in the amount of $25,000 to the General Manager. BACKGROUND: Since 1986, the Board of Directors has delegated to Roger J. Dolan, General Manager-chief Engineer, to allow, compromise, or settle claims against the District not exceeding $10,000, with the understanding that settlements between $5,000 and $10,000 would be reported to the board of directors as information items on the District Board Meeting Agenda. In 1989 Government Code Section 935.4 was modified. The modification changed the dollar amount of authority from $10,000 to the maximum of $50,000 to settle claims. The General Manager and the Safety and Risk Manager have reviewed the current claim authority level and have determined that numerous claims have arisen which exceed the current authority levels. These claims have been impacted by inflation, higher property values and a higher expectation of the public regarding health and safety issues. The ability to adjust claims effectively and for the lowest cost often requires expediency. The modification of the existing authority level will improve staffs ability to effectively resolve claims for the lowest cost to the District. R:\DJC\Settlement. wpd Page 1 of 3 POSITION PAPER Date: February 10, 1999 Subject: ADOPT A REVISED RESOLUTION GRANTING SETTLEMENT AUTHORITY TO THE GENERAL MANAGER PURSUANT TO GOVERNMENT CODE SECTION 935.4 FOR THE PURPOSE OF THE COMPROMISE AND SETTLEMENT OF CLAIMS AGAINST THE DISTRICT The General Manager recommends that the current claim authority level be modified to an amount not exceeding $25,000, with the understanding that settlement between $10,000 and $25,000 would be reported to the Board of Directors as information items on the District Board Meeting Agenda. The increased limit provides staff the opportunity to respond quickly to claimants thus expediting the cleanup and replacement of property which has been damaged. The current limit requires staff to cease all expenditures once a $10,000 claim limit has been identified. This delay in completing repairs and making homes inhabitable impacts customer service and may have an adverse effect on the total cost of the claim. RECOMMENDATION: Adopt the revised resolution granting settlement authority pursuant to Government Code Section 935.4 to the General Manager in the amount of $25,000.

GM-CE ISSUE: A report of the results of a comparative review of actual and budgeted Operations and Maintenance (O&M) revenues and expenses for the first six months of the 1 998-1 999 fiscal year is provided in the Position Paper with the main focus being on the projections of revenue and expense for the full fiscal year 1998-1999 as compared to the annual budget. Based on these projections, no change to the current Sewer Service Charge rate of $188 is recommended for the 1999-2000 fiscal year. BACKGROUND: The table on Attachment A compares actual revenue and expense for the first six months of the fiscal year to the six-month budget. Annual projections of revenue and expense are then compared to the annual budget. Variance explanations are provided below: Revenue: Based on the results of the first six months of the 1998-1999 fiscal year, a revenue projection has been made for the full fiscal year. Total revenue is projected to be $31,063,222 for the fiscal year, compared to budgeted revenues of $31,168,260 resulting in projected revenues being $105,038 or .3 percent less than the fiscal year budget. Expense: Based on the results of the first six months of the 1998-1999 fiscal year, expense projections have been made for the full fiscal year. Total District expenses are projected to be $31,896,085 compared to a budget of $32,827,029 resulting in a favorable variance of $930,944 or 2.8 percent.

In all departments, a significant savings occurs in benefit costs due to the fact that the retirement rates were set by the Retirement Board after the District finalized the 1998-99 budget. The budgeted rates are higher than the final approved rates, resulting in savings of $390,000. Administrative: The Administrative Department projects expenses of $6,308,637 compared to a budget of $6,466,621 resulting in a favorable variance of $157,984 or 2.4 percent. This is mainly due to unfilled positions resulting in a savings of $164,403 in Salaries, Wages and Benefits; a $40,000 savings in Public Information due to an anticipated reduction in mailings and educational displays for the Household Hazardous Waste Facility, and a $65,000 savings in Election Expense due to no election costs this year. These projected savings are partially offset by overexpenditures in Technical Services of $150,000 due to using agency temporaries to perform some of the work associated with the vacant positions; and Telephone of $24,000, mainly due to under budgeted monthly service fees for District wireless communications. Other minor savings and overages result in a net savings of $95,403. Engineering: The Engineering Department projects expenses of $6,126,105 compared to a budget of $6,810,366 resulting in an anticipated under- expenditure of $684,261 or 10.1 percent. This is mainly due to a reduced interest expense of $327,000 on District debt as a result of refinancing the COP's, a savings in benefits and capitalized overhead of $226,900, and a $130,000 savings in Technical Services primarily due to a reduced need for temporary help for the mapping conversion. These projected savings are partially offset by $92,375 less salaries being capitalized due to less capital work than originally anticipated. Other minor savings and overages result in a net savings of $92,736. Collection System Operations: The Collection System Operations Department projects expenses of $4,360,416 compared to a budget of $4,518,126 resulting in an anticipated savings of $157,710 or 3.5 percent. This is mainly due to savings in Salaries, Wages, and Benefits of $120,000 and Outside Repairs and Maintenance savings of $37,000 due to reductions in outside contract work for paving due to partnering with the cities to S :\ADMIN\POSP APER\6mosOMbudgetPP. wpd Page 2 of 5 -_._~---,_.." ._._~._-----_._--_._~,.-...-_._--"-_.,-,._._-'-~---_.._-.__._-_._-~--_._---~.-.,.__._-"-~-_._"~_.._,,--_'_'_--<_._------~-~..__..",._.._....---------'_.,_.- POSITION PAPER Date: February 11, 1999 RECEIVE THE 1998-1999 OPERATIONS AND MAINTENANCE BUDGET REVIEW FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1998 AND ESTABLISH THE SEWER SERVICE CHARGE RATE FOR FISCAL YEAR 1999-2000 TO CONTINUE AT THE CURRENT RATE OF $188 AS ORDAINED IN ORDINANCE NO. 200 ADOPTED BY THE BOARD ON JUNE 5, 1997 eliminate duplicate construction work on easements and manholes. Other minor savings and overages result in a net savings of $ 710. Plant Operations and Pumping Stations: The Plant Operations and Pumping Stations Department project expenses to be $15,100,928 compared to an annual budget of $15,031,916 resulting in an anticipated over expenditure of $69,012 or .46 percent. This is mainly due to utilities projected to be over by $45,000 due to greater than anticipated electrical usage; Repairs and Maintenance over by $275,000 due to unanticipated work on the centrifuges, ultraviolet system, steam and ash systems; Technical Services over by $63,000 due to increased out sourcing of maintenance work required to accommodate unanticipated retirements; and $90,000 over expended in Maintenance Supplies due to unbudgeted purchase of UV bulbs. These overages are partially offset by a projected savings of $405,000 in Salaries, Wages and Benefits. Other minor savings and overages result in a net savings of $23,988. In summary, based on total projected revenues of $31,063,222 and total projected expenses of $31,896,086, a deficit of $832,864 would be applied to the Running Expense Fund balance compared to the budgeted deficit of $1,658,769. This would decrease the fund balance to $6,400,192 at June 30, 1999. Sewer Service Charge Rate Setting Issues By June of this year, it is expected that the Contra Costa County Retirement Board will increase the rates to cover the additional costs due to the Supreme Court decision in the Ventura Case where additional cash benefits and wages must be included as base wages for retirement calculation purposes. Staff estimates that these increased retirement costs could increase by $100,000 to $400,000 annually beginning in the 1999-2000 fiscal year. Total retirement costs will be partially reduced by prepaying the estimated full fiscal year retirement cost in July, 1999. Due to the refinancing of the District's 1994 COP's, there will be a savings of approximately $350,000 next fiscal year in interest expense. This will offset the anticipated increase in retirement costs noted above.

Based on this initial budget review, staff is confident that reserves can be maintained and will cover any reasonably anticipated increased costs. Therefore, staff recommends no increase in the Sewer Service Charge for the next fiscal year. Ordinance No. 200 was approved by the Board on June 5, 1997 establishing the 1997-98 Sewer Service Charge rates beginning July 1, 1997 and continuing thereafter until further action of the Board of Directors. Since no change to the Sewer Service Charge is being recommended, the existing ordinance can continue in place, and no public hearing is necessary. RECOMMENDATION: Receive the 1998-1999 Operations and Maintenance Budget Review for the six months ended December 31, 1998 and projections for the full fiscal year, and establish the Sewer Service Charge rate for fiscal year 1999-2000 to continue at the current rate of $188, as ordained in Ordinance No. 200 adopted by the Board on June 5, 1997.
