ACCEPT GRANT OF EASEMENT
APPROVE AGREEMENT
SUBJECT
ACCEPT A GRANT OF EASEMENT FROM THE PLEASANT HILL RECREATION AND PARK DISTRICT
AND APPROVE PURCHASE AGREEMENT FOR SANITARY SEWER AND RECYCLED WATERLINE
PURPOSES IN CONNECTION WITH THE PLEASANT HILL RELIEF INTERCEPTOR, PHASE 4, DP 4985
SUBMITTED BY
Ricardo Hernandez, Engineering Assistant
INITIATING DEPTIDIV
Engineering Dept./Capital Projects Division
.ISS..U.E: Board must accept Grants of Easements to the District.
BACKGROUND: This Grant of Easement is for a permanent sanitary sewer and recycled waterline
easement through property owned by the Pleasant Hill Recreation and Park District at 237 Gregory Lane,
Pleasant Hill (map attached). The easement is one of the last easements needed for construction of
Phase 4 of the Pleasant Hill Relief Interceptor and Recycled Water Pipeline projects.
An appraisal has been prepared by a licensed real estate appraiser contracted by the District to determine
the value of the proposed easement. Based on sales of comparable land and on the impact of the proposed
easement on the value of the existing Park District's property, the just compensation amount for the
easement (including temporary construction easements) was determined to be $5,300. District staff has
negotiated an agreement with the Park District for this amount. Funds for the purchase of right of way are
included in the authorized Pleasant Hill Easement Acquisition Project, DP 4985.
This project was addressed in the 1991 Pleasant Hill/A-Line Environmental Impact Report and the 1993
Recycled Water Pipeline Project Negative Declaration. No additional environmental documentation is
required.
RECOMMENDATION: Accept the Grant of Easement from the Pleasant Hill Recreation and Park District
and approve a Purchase Agreement in the amount of $5,300. Authorize the President and Secretary of
the Board to sign the Agreement, and authorize staff to record said Grant of Easement with the Contra
Costa County Recorder.

ACCEPT GRANTS OF EASEMENTS FOR EXISTING SANITARY SEWERS SERVING THE COMMUNITY

SUBMITTED BY
Jay S. McCoy, Division Manager
INITIATING DEPT/DIV
Engineering Dept./Environmental Services Division
ISSUE: Board of Director's action is required to transfer existing sanitary sewers from the privately
maintained Rossmoor system to the District's public sewer system.
BACKGROUND: The agreement between Rossmoor and Central Contra Costa Sanitary District (CCCSD)
provides for the improvement and transfer of portions of the Rossmoor sanitary sewer system to CCCSD.
The agreement formalized a process by which sewers with diameters of 6 inches and greater would
become publicly maintained. Prior to the finalization of the agreement, CCCSD had accepted
approximately 39,000 feet of existing sanitary sewer pipelines. These sewers were located
predominantly within the major streets traversing the Rossmoor development.
Since the agreement was finalized in 1995, approximately 45,000 feet of additional sewers have been
accepted. The easements encompassing the sewers which were improved in 1997 are now being
brought to the Board for acceptance. This will increase the amount of sewers transferred to the District
by approximately 18,000 feet. The parcel designations and grantors of the easements proposed for
acceptance are:

APPROVE QUITCLAIM
SUBJECT
QUITCLAIM A PORTION OF SEWER EASEMENT LOCATED WITHIN LOT 7 OF SUBDIVISION 5967 TO
THE PRESENT PROPERTY OWNERS, JOB 3519, SAN RAMON AREA
SUBMITTED BY
Dennis Hall, Associate Engineer
INITIATING DEPTIDIV
Engineering/Environmental Services
ISSUED: Sunset Development Company, the developer of Bishop Ranch 3, has requested that the
District quitclaim a portion of a sewer easement which was dedicated on the map of Subdivision 5967.
BACKGROUND: A public sewer easement was dedicated at no cost to this District on June 23, 1981,
with the filing of the map of Subdivision 5967. The easement was intended to serve property to the
northeast of Lot 7 of Subdivision 5967. This northeasterly property is currently being served in another
location. A portion of the subject easement will serve the new Bishop Ranch 3 development and will
not be quitclaimed. The portion of the sewer easement which is no longer required may now be
quitclaimed. The District's quitclaim processing fee has been paid by the developer.
Staff has concluded that this project (the proposed quitclaim) is exempt from the California
Environmental Quality Act (CEOA) under District CEOA Guideline Section 18.6 since it involves a minor
alteration in land-use limitations. Approval of this quitclaim will establish the Board of Directors
independent finding that this project is exempt from CEOA.
RECOMMENDATION: Approve Quitclaim Deed to Sunset Development Company, Job 3519; authorize
the President of the District Board of Directors and the Secretary of the District to execute said
Quitclaim Deed; and authorize the Quitclaim Deed to be recorded.

INITIATE ANNEXATION D.A. 145
SUBJECT
INITIATE PROCEEDINGS TO FORMALLY ANNEX TEN SEPARATE AREAS UNDER THE TITLE OF
DISTRICT ANNEXATION 145
SUBMITTED BY
Dennis Hall, Associate Engineer
INITIATING DEPT/DIV
Engineering/Environmental Services
ISSUE: The District has received petitions for annexation for ten parcels, as shown on the attached
tabulation and maps. It is appropriate to initiate formal annexation proceedings with the Local Agency
Formation Commission (LAFCO).
BACKGROUND: LAFCO has requested that the District submit no more than ten separate areas under
anyone proceeding to avoid overloading LAFCO's schedule. The subject areas are generally located in
Alamo, Lafayette, Orinda and Walnut Creek. LAFCO has indicated that it may add adjoining unannexed
parcels to the separate areas we submit to eliminate islands or straighten boundary lines. The District
will have to hold a public hearing to consider annexation of any parcel added by LAFCO.
RECOMMENDATION: Adopt a Resolution of Application for the annexation of properties to Central Contra
Costa Sanitary District under District Annexation 145.

ADOPT RESOLUTIONS TO PROCEED WITH THE FORMATION OF A DEMONSTRATION PROJECT
NAMED CHARLES HILL CIRCLE CONTRACTUAL ASSESSMENT DISTRICT NO. 98-2
SUBMITTED BY
Dennis Hall, Associate En ineer
.IS.S..Uf: Board action is required to adopt resolutions to proceed with the formation of a demonstration
project named Charles Hill Circle Contractual Assessment District No. 98-2 (C.A.D. No. 98-2).
BACKGROUND: On August 6, 1998, the Board of Directors adopted a resolution directing the
preparation of a report for a demonstration project known as Charles Hill Circle C.A.D. No. 98-2. Since
that Board meeting, two additional properties have been added to the District boundaries. The boundary
map has been modified to reflect this change. The C.A.D. now includes 18 properties, with 12 project
participants. Attachment 1 shows the amended C.A.D. boundaries. An amended Resolution of
Intention, previously adopted at the August 6, 1998 meeting, must be adopted to reflect these changes.
Therefore, three additional actions by the Board are appropriate at this time: 1) adopt revised Resolution
of Intention 2) approve the boundary of the assessment district and 3) request the consent of the City
of Orinda to the District conducting proceedings for Charles Hill Circle C.A.D. No. 98-2. Separate
resolutions by the Board are required for these actions.
RECOMMENDATION: Adopt resolutions that 1) modify Resolution 98-083, a resolution of intention to
undertake a demonstration project designating Charles Hill Circle as Contractual Assessment District No.
98-2 2) approve the boundary of the assessment district and 3) request consent from the City of Orinda
for the District to conduct proceedings for Charles Hill Circle C.A.D. No. 98-2.

MODIFY RESOLUTION 98-083, A RESOLUTION OF INTENTION TO UNDERTAKE A
DEMONSTRATION PROJECT DESIGNATING CHARLES HILL CIRCLE AS CONTRACTUAL
ASSESSMENT DISTRICT NO. 98-2 FOR THE PURPOSE OF INSTALLING SEWER
IMPROVEMENTS
WHEREAS the public health and the environment will be best protected by the
expansion of the public sewer system;
WHEREAS the construction and installation of a sanitary sewer pipeline, together
with appurtenant work and facilities, in areas not presently connected to the sewer system
will facilitate the elimination of potential public health problems;
WHEREAS a demonstration project designed to facilitate the elimination of failing
septic tanks is presently being considered; and
WHEREAS it would be convenient and advantageous to establish a boundary around
an area within which the District and property owners may enter into contractual
assessments and make arrangements to finance public improvements to parcels which are
developed and where the costs and time delays involved in creating an assessment district
pursuant to alternative provisions in the law would be prohibitively large relative to the cost
of the improvement.
THEREFORE, the Board of Directors of the Central Contra Costa Sanitary District
resolves:
1 . This Board intends to order the following improvement under the authority of
the Municipal Improvement Act of 1911, as amended, to wit: Construction
and installation of approximately 2,050 linear feet of sanitary sewer line,
together with appurtenant work and facilities located at Charles Hill Circle and
Hartford Road in Orinda, California.
2. This Board finds that the parcels within the Contractual Assessment District
are shown within the boundaries of the map entitled, "Proposed Boundary of
Charles Hills Circle Contractual Assessment District No. 98-2."
3. This Board intends to levy a special assessment upon participating parcels
within the described district in accordance with the special benefit to be
received by each parcel of land, respectively, from the improvement. The
improvement proposed will not confer any special benefit upon any publicly
owned land. Hence, there shall be omitted from special assessment all public
streets, alleys, and places and all land belonging to the United States, the
State of California, the County of Contra Costa, the City of Orinda, and this
District now in use in the performance of a public function.
4. This District will finance the improvements from the Sewer Construction
Fund. Assessments shall be paid over a maximum period of ten (10) years
with interest at a rate to be fixed by the District.
U :\Plan Review\Hall\CHiIlCAD\Res-lntent. wpd
Page 4 of 8
5. The procedure for the collection of assessments will be the placement of
assessments on participating owner's property tax bills. The first
assessments will be placed on owner's property tax bills in fiscal year 1999 -
00.
6. This Board appoints Curtis Swanson, Principal Engineer, as Engineer of Work
for this project, and directs the preparation of the report required by
Section 5989.22 of the Streets and Highways Code.
7. The amount of any surplus remaining in the improvement fund after
completion of the improvement and payment of all claims shall be distributed
in accordance with the provisions of Section 10427 of the Streets and
Highways Code.
8. A public hearing shall be held on this matter at which interested persons may
object or inquire about the proposed program, or any of its particulars, at 2
p.m. on or about Thursday, November 5, 1998, at the District offices, 5019
Imhoff Place, Martinez. This date is tentative and may be modified in the
future.
9. The Board independently finds that this project is exempt from the California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) under CEQA Statute, Section 21080.21,
since it involves construction of a pipeline less than a mile in length in a public
right of way.

RESOLUTION APPROVING BOUNDARY MAP
CHARLES HILL CIRCLE CONTRACTUAL ASSESSMENT DISTRICT NO. 98-2
The Board of Directors of the Central Contra Costa Sanitary District resolves:
A map entitled "Proposed Boundary of Charles Hill Circle Contractual Assessment District

CHARLES HILL CIRCLE CONTRACTUAL ASSESSMENT DISTRICT NO. 98-2
The Board of Directors of the Central Contra Costa Sanitary District (CCCSD) resolves:
On September 3, 1998, the Board adopted an amended Resolution of Intention, a copy
of which is attached hereto, marked Exhibit A, and by reference incorporated herein as though
fully set forth.
All of the property proposed to be assessed lies within the J:porated territory of the
City of Orinda in Contra Costa County. All public streets, alleys, places, and all land belonging
to the United States, the State of California, the County of Contra Costa, the City of Orinda, and
the CCCSD shall be omitted from assessment because it has been determined that no special
benefit will be conferred on any such land within the proposed Assessment District.
The area of the City of Orinda which lies within the proposed Assessment District will, in
the opinion of the Board of Directors of CCCSD, be benefitted by the improvements referred to
in the Resolution of Intention, and the purposes sought to be accomplished by the work can best
be accomplished by a single, comprehensive scheme of work.
The consent of the City of Orinda, through its City Council, is hereby requested to the
formation of the Assessment District described in said Resolution of Intention, to the
improvement described, and to the assumption of jurisdiction by the CCCSD Board of Directors

ADOPT A RESOLUTION ESTABLISHING THE 1998-1999 APPROPRIATIONS LIMIT IN ACCORDANCE WITH
ARTICLE XIII 8 OF THE CALIFORNIA CONSTITUTION
SUBMITTED BY
Debbie Ratcliff, Controller
INITIATING DEPTIDIV
Administrative/Finance & Accounting
ISSUE: The Central Contra Costa Sanitary District is required to establish its appropriations limit in
accordance with Article XIII 8 of the California Constitution.
BACKGROUND: On August 6, 1998, the Board of Directors authorized posting a public notice of the
availability of documentation in support of the District's appropriations limit. As statutorily required, the
public notice was made at least 15 days prior to the September 3, 1998 Board Meeting at which the
adoption of the appropriations limit is recommended.
The appropriations limit is increased annually by a factor comprised of the change in population combined
with either the change in California per capita personal income or the percentage change in the local
assessment roll from the preceding year due to local nonresidential construction. The Board must select
between the per capita personal income, or the change in the local assessment roll due to local nonresidential
construction, by a recorded vote. Last year the Board selected the change in the local assessment roll,
which was the larger of the two percentages, for the calculation of the 1997-1998 appropriations limit. This
approach allowed for a larger limit on the District's proceeds of taxes.
The County Assessor has determined the nonresidential construction index for 1998-1999 to be 9.3
percent. The California per capita personal income percentage change is 4.15. The change in the local
assessment roll of 9.3 percent is being used in the calculation of the 1998-1999 appropriations limit, to allow
for a larger limit on the District's proceeds of taxes.
The computation of the 1998-1 999 appropriations limit by application of the California per capita personal
income and population percentage change factors to the 1986-1987 appropriations limit adjusted from that
year forward to 1990-1991, and the nonresidential construction index for 1991-1992 through 1998-1 999,

was provided at the August 6, 1998 Board Meeting. The Sewer Construction Fund (Capital Fund)
appropriations limit so computed is $35,233,435 for the 1998-1999 fiscal year.
The District's proceeds of taxes are budgeted to be $5,700,000 for the 1998-1999 fiscal year. Interest on
these tax proceeds are estimated to be $181,000. Therefore, total tax proceeds plus interest is
$5,881,000 which is well within the appropriations limit set for the 1998-1999 fiscal year.
RECOMMENDATION: Adopt a resolution establishing the Sewer Construction Fund appropriations limit in
the amount of $35,233,435 for the 1998-1999 fiscal year, in accordance with Article XIII B of the
California Constitution; select the change in the local assessment roll due to local nonresidential construction,
for use in computing the appropriations limit.

Plant Operations Department/Maintenance
ISSUE: Construction has been completed on the Treatment Plant Roof Replacement, Phase II Project
(DP 6120). The work is now ready for acceptance.
BACKGROUND: This Project replaced the roofs over the Machine Shop and the Pump and Blower
Building. These treatment plant structures were built in the mid-1970's. The 2~year roof life had
expired and replacement or rehabilitation was prudent to prevent damage and reduce maintenance
costs. Additional information can be found in the Fiscal Year 1998-99 Capital Improvement Budget
(CIB) on pages TP 88-89.
The Board of Directors authorized the award of a construction contract for this work in the amount of
$145,610 to Sparks Roofing Company on June 9, 1998. The contractor was issued a Notice to
Proceed, on July 6, 1998, with a requi'ed contract completion date of August 19, 1998. The District
took beneficial use on July 31, 1998, with all work being completed on August 7, 1998.
It is appropriate to accept the contract work at this time. The total authorized budget for this project
is $192,000. An accounting of this project will be provided to the Board of Directors at closeout.
RECOMMENDATION: Accept contract work for construction of the Treatment Plant Roof
Replacement, Phase II Project (DP 6120), and authorize filing the Notice of Completion.

ACCEPT CONTRACT WORK FOR THE PDC ENVIRONMENTAL CONTROL PROJECT, DISTRICT
PROJECT 7100A, AND AUTHORIZE THE FILING OF THE NOTICE OF COMPLETION
SUBMITTED BY
Munawar Husain, Associate Engineer
INITIAllNG DEPTIDIV
Engineering Department/Capital Projects Division
ISSUE: Construction has been completed on the PDC Environmental Control Project, District Project
7100A, and the work is now ready for acceptance.
BACKGROUND: The District started operating the ultraviolet (UV) disinfection facilities in March 1997.
The major electrical and electronic components of the UV disinfection system are housed inside eighteen
(18) power distribution cabinets (PDCs), which were ventilated with ambient air for cooling. During the
spring and summer of 1997, heat buildup (due to electrical equipment and solar radiation) inside the PDCs
raised concerns regarding long-term life of the PDC components and reliable disinfection during summer.
The PDCs had air intakes with coarse air screens, which routinely collected dust and insects and required
frequent cleaning. Dust accumulation and moisture condensation inside the PDCs also created
maintenance problems.
Under this project, an air handling unit, a refrigeration unit, and ducts were installed to supply clean and
controlled air (cool air in the summer and warm air in the winter) to the PDCs. This project allowed an
acceptable temperature range to be maintained in the PDCs at all times, increasing the reliability and long-
term life of electrical and electronic components. See Attachment 1 for the location of the work
completed under this project.
The construction contract was authorized to be awarded to Monterey Mechanical Company of Oakland,
California on February 5, 1998. The original contract completion date was August 12, 1998. The
contract work was completed ahead of schedule. An incentive was provided in the contract for the
contractor to complete early. Operation of sensitive electrical equipment in a controlled environment
during hot weather required the project facilities to be on-line before summer. By completing project work
six days early, the contractor was able to earn $3,000 as early completion bonus.

ISSUE: A public hearing must be conducted to consider objections and inquiries regarding the
proposed assessment, the Resolution of Intention, the Engineer's Report, and any other comments
from the public, including the affected parcel owners, relating to the proposed Alhambra Way
Contractual Assessment District No. 98-1 (C.A.D. No. 98-1).
BACKGROUND: A group of ten parcel owners on Alhambra Way in Martinez have requested that the
District form an assessment district for the purpose of financing and constructing a public sewer
system that will benefit their properties. The proposed sewer includes approximately 588 linear feet
of 8-inch sewer main and two manholes that will serve the proponents' ten existing properties, all
of which have existing homes presently relying on septic tanks. A map showing the proposed
boundary and the proposed sewer location is attached as Exhibit A.
On April 12, 1998, the Board of Directors adopted a resolution directing the preparation of a report
for a demonstration project known as Alhambra Way C.A.D. No. 98-1. A report has been
prepared, and assessments have been estimated. (The Engineer's Report is being provided to the
Board under separate cover.) On July 16, 1998, the Board of Directors set a public hearing for
September 3, 1998. Since assessments are proposed to be levied on properties, the procedural
requirements of Proposition 218 do apply. Compliance with these requirements has been included
in the documents and actions proposed for Board consideration. In order to continue the process
for Alhambra Way C.A.D. No. 98-1 the following actions are necessary:
1. Conduct a public hearing to:
a. announce the tabulation of ballots submitted by owners of each affected parcel
indicating approval or opposition to the proposed assessment.

b. consider public testimony on the Resolution of Intention and the Engineer's
Report.
2. If, at the close of the hearing, the Board finds that protests and ballot opposition are
insufficient, the following resolutions may be considered and adopted:
a. Resolution overruling protests of improvement (Exhibit B)
b. Resolution confirming compliance with California Constitution, Article XIIID,
Section 4 (Exhibit C).
c. Resolution approving the Engineer's Report, assessments, and ordering
improvement (Exhibit D).
An agreement between the owners and the District is needed to establish the rights and obligations
of both parties. District Counsel has prepared such an agreement in which the owners agree to:
. assessments being placed on their property tax bills;
. pay the assessments;
. accept total responsibility for the design and construction of the sanitary sewer
extension;
. require the contractor who is selected by the owners to maintain certain insurance
coverage;
. accept total responsibility for the costs associated with the sanitary sewer extension,
including interest for District financing; and
. have the sanitary sewer extension constructed in accordance with District standards.
The District will:
. finance the costs of the sanitary sewer extension;
. accept the work of the contractor, provided the work is done in accordance with District
standards;
. place assessments on owners' tax bills;

. record as liens on the participants' properties the obligation of each participant to pay
assessments; and
. be reimbursed in full by receiving payments, including interest, for the total amount
financed from owners over a ten-year period.
The agreement has been executed by all ten affected parcel owners. It is appropriate, therefore, to
authorize the General Manager-Chief Engineer to execute the agreement on behalf of the District.
A summary of project costs is shown in Exhibit E. The estimated total project cost is $93,815.
Funding for this C.A.D. is included in the 1998-99 Capital Improvement Budget (CIB) on page CS-69.
Staff has concluded that this project is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA)
under District CEQA Guidelines, Section 5.2(b)(3), since it can be seen with certainty that there is
no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant adverse effect on the environment.
This certainty is based on the District's past experience with numerous similar sewer construction
projects, the developed nature of the project environment, and the limited service area of the project
(no potential for growth inducement). Approval of the Engineer's Report will establish the Board of
Directors' independent finding that this project is exempt from CEQA.
RECOMMENDATION: If a majority protest is not filed and if less than a majority of returned ballots
from affected parcel owners oppose the assessment, staff recommends that the Board of Directors
take the following actions:
. Conduct public hearing.
. Adopt a resolution overruling protests.
. Adopt a resolution confirming compliance with California Constitution, Article XIIID, Section 4.
. Adopt a resolution approving the Engineer's Report, assessments, and ordering improvement.
. Authorize the General Manager-Chief Engineer to execute an agreement with the Alhambra Way
parcel owners.

CONDUCT THE CONTINUED PUBLIC HEARING TO RECEIVE COMMENTS ON A PROPOSED
ORDINANCE TO AMEND THE DISTRICT CODE ADDING SECTION 6.20.300 SCHEDULE OF
REIMBURSEMENT FEES, AND ESTABLISHING REIMBURSEMENT FEES APPLICABLE TO PROPERTY
WHICH MAY BE SERVED BY THE DOUGHERTY VALLEY TUNNEL AND TRUNK SEWERS
SUBMITTED BY
Jarred Miyamoto-Mills, Principal Engineer
INITlATlNG DEPTIDIV
Engineering/Environmental Services
ISSUE: When reimbursement fees are proposed for an area which may be served by a "special
facility," the District Code requires that a public hearing be held prior to the Board of Directors'
consideration of the fees for adoption.
BACKGROUND: The Dougherty Valley Tunnel and Trunk Sewers are "special facilities," as defined
in the District Code. The Dougherty Valley developers will be the installers of these facilities. To fairly
and equitably distribute the costs for these facilities, the Code provides for the installers to be
reimbursed for the proportion of costs allocable to other properties which may also be served by the
tunnel and trunk sewers. Staff has drafted a proposed Ordinance (Attachment 1) to establish
reimbursement fees for property which may be served by the Dougherty Valley Tunnel and Trunk
Sewers.
Exhibit A of Attachment 1 shows the property which may be served by the tunnel and trunk sewers.
A separate agreement between the District, Shapell Industries of Northern California, and Windemere
Ranch Partners has established a cost sharing arrangement for the Shapell, Windemere, West Branch
and Wendt Ranch areas. The proposed reimbursement fees will be collected from property owners
in the Lawrence Road and "Intervening Properties" areas if and when they connect their property to
the sewer system. The fees will be held in separate accounts, and disbursed to the installers of the
tunnel and trunk sewer facilities, after completion and acceptance by the District.
The proposed reimbursement fees include three components which total $2,500 per Residential Unit
Equivalent (RUE): 1) $1,400 per RUE for the Dougherty Tunnel and Trunk Sewer (DP 5902), the
facility which will transport wastewater through the hills to the San Ramon Pumping Station; 2)
$400 per RUE for the Windemere Trunk Sewer (DP 5330), which will be installed in the new Bollinger
Canyon Road Extension through the Windemere development and connect to the eastern end of the
tunnel; and 3) $700 per RUE for the Lawrence Road Trunk Sewer Extension (DP 5331), which will
convey wastewater from the southern end of Lawrence Road to the Windemere Trunk Sewer. The

CONDUCT THE CONTINUED PUBLIC HEARING TO RECEIVE COMMENTS ON A PROPOSED
ORDINANCE TO AMEND THE DISTRICT CODE ADDING SECTION 6.20.300 SCHEDULE OF
REIMBURSEMENT FEES, AND ESTABLISHING REIMBURSEMENT FEES APPLICABLE TO PROPERTY
WHICH MAY BE SERVED BY THE DOUGHERTY VALLEY TUNNEL AND TRUNK SEWERS
calculation of these fees is summarized in Exhibit B of Attachment 1. These fees would be charged
in addition to Facilities Capacity and Pumped Zone Fees (now $2,920), and other District charges,
such as those for plan review, permits, inspection, and sewer service.
Reimbursement fees may be annually adjusted by the District to account for the increase or decrease
in the value of the facilities due to inflation and depreciation. These fees may also be adjusted to
account for differences between estimated and actual costs, and increases or decreases in the
number of connections which may be served by the facilities. However, once a particular property
has connected to the public sewer, and the fees have been paid, the District will not collect any
additional reimbursement fees for that property, nor refund any excess reimbursement fees which
might otherwise be occasioned by these adjustments.
A public hearing to receive comments from interested individuals regarding the proposed
reimbursement fees was originally scheduled for the regular meeting of the Board on August 6, 1998.
At that meeting, the Board continued the public hearing to the September 3, 1998 regular meeting.
Appropriate notices have been posted, and published in the Contra Costa Times. In addition,
individual letter notices were mailed to the owners of all affected properties, as required by the District
Code.
RECOMMENDATION: Conduct the continued public hearing to receive comments on the proposed
Ordinance to amend the District Code adding Section 6.20.300 Schedule Reimbursement Fees, and
establishing reimbursement fees applicable to property which may be served by the Dougherty Valley
Tunnel and Trunk Sewers. Adopt the Ordinance.

AUTHORIZE AWARD OF PURCHASE ORDER TO PACIFIC WATER RESOURCES TO SUPPLY EIGHT
SCRUBBER WATER PUMPS
SUBMITTED BY
David J. Reindl, Associate Engineer
INITlATlNG DEPTOV
Plant Operations Department/Maintenance
ISSUE: On August 19, 1998, sealed bids were received and opened for the purchase of eight (8)
standard dimension end suction centrifugal scrubber water pumps. The Board of Directors must
authorize award of the purchase order or reject bids within sixty (60) days of the bid opening.
BACKGROUND: The operation of the multiple-hearth furnace requires the use of both wet and dry
gas scrubbing equipment to control the particulate emissions in the furnace exhaust stack and meet
the Bay Area A'r Quality Management District (BAAOMD) ai' permit requirements. The scrubber water
pumps perform a critical function in the efficient operation of the wet scrubber.
The original pumps were installed during the 5A contract in 1976. Since being in service, the pumps
have operated with high vibration levels and have experienced several bearing and shaft failures. The
replacement pumps have larger bearing frames to handle the loads and are expected to operate with
improved reliability. The pumps will be installed by District Maintenance forces, since only minor
modifications are required to connect piping and existing pump bases.
The specifications were prepared by the Plant Operations Department, and the Purchasing Division
prepared the Bid Request. The Engineer's Estimate for the eight pumps was $45,000. The Request
for Bids was advertised on August 8 and August 14, 1998. Eight bids, ranging from a low of
$20,895.53 to a high of $49,456.80, were received and publicly opened on August 19, 1998.
A summary of these bids is shown in Attachment 1. The Purchasing Division conducted a commercial
evaluation and the Plant Operations Department conducted a technical evaluation of these bids, and
they have determined that Pacific Water Resources is the lowest responsible bidder with a bid amount
of $20,895.53.
RECOMMENDATION: Authorize award of a purchase order in the amount of $20,895.53 for eight
scrubber water pumps to Pacific Water Resources, the lowest responsible bidder.

PROJECT (DISTRICT PROJECT 6124)
SUIlMITTB> BY
James l. Belcher, Senior Engineer
INITIATING DEPT4llV
Plant OperationslMaintenance
ISSUE: On August 19, 1998, sealed bids were received and opened for construction of the
Faiview /Maltby Pump Modifications and Fairview Header Replacement Project (District Project 6124).
The Board of Directors must authorize award of the contract or reject bids within 50 days of the bid
opening.
BACKGROUND: The Martinez basin wastewater conveyance system consists of three pumping
stations in series; Martinez, Faiview, and Maltby. In 1996, the Martinez Pumping Station was replaced
and the pumping capacity significantly increased to the point where it can pump at a higher flow rate
than the downstream pumping stations. The conveyance system cannot operate at maximum capacity
due to the limitations of the present pumps at the Fairview and Maltby Pumping Stations.
On September 24, 1997, the Maltby Pumping Station experienced a major failure of the discharge
header, which was replaced. After this event, the discharge header at the Fairview Pumping Station
was inspected and was found to have a similar pattern of deterioration and corrosion. Interim repairs
were made to ensure that the deteriorated header would not fail during the last winter.
This project will maximize the pumping capacity of the three stations in series on the Martinez
wastewater conveyance system by increasing the pumping capabilities at Fairview and Maltby Pumping
Stations. This project wiD also replace the deteriorated discharge header at Fairview Pumping Station.
Plans and specifications were prepared by the Plant Operations Department. The Engineer's estimate
for the construction cost was $120,000. The project was advertised on August 3 and August 10,
1998. Six bids, ranging from a low of $135,915 to a high of $223,500 were received and publicly
opened on August 19, 1998. A summary of these bids is shown in Attachment 2. A commercial
evaluation and a technical evaluation were conducted on these bids, and it was determined that
Kaweah Construction is the lowest responsible bidder with a bid amount of $135,915.

AUTHORIZE AWAAD OF A CONSTRUCTION CONTRACT TO KAWEAH CONSTRUCTION COMPANY
FOR THE FAlRVIEWIMALTBY PUMP MODIFICATIONS AND FAIRVlEW HEADER REPLACEMENT
PROJECT (DISTRICT PROJECT 6124)
The allocation of funds required to complete this project, as shown in Attachment 3, is $259.000.
The total estimated project cost is $409,000. This project was included in the fiscal year 1998-99
Capital Improvement Budget (CIB) on pages CS-88 tlTough C5-90. Staff has conducted a cash flow
evaluation of the Sewer Construction Fund and concluded that adequate funds are available for this
project.
Staff has also concluded that this project is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act
(CEQA) under District CEOA Guide~nes, Section 18.2, since it involves repair and maintenance of an
existing public facility 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 in the amount of $135,915 for the
construction of the Fairview/Mattby Pump Modifications and Fairview Header Replacement Project
(District Project 6124) to Kaweah Construction Company, the lowest responsible bidder.

INITIATING DEPTIDIV
Administrative/Purchasing and Materials Control
.ISSUE: On August 18, 1998 sealed bids were received for District Project 8169, for the Light Industrial
Building Roof Replacement, at 4737 Imhoff Place, Martinez. The Board of Directors must authorize
award of the contract or reject bids within 45 days of the bid opening.
BACKGROUND: This project will replace the roof over the light industrial building located at 4737 Imhoff
Place, Martinez, which is adjacent to the Household Hazardous Waste Facility. This building was built
in 1981 and has had no major roof repair work performed on it in the past 17 years. A technical
roofing study was done in 1995 that stated that the existing 10-year roof system was deteriorating
and should be replaced. Routine maintenance will no longer adequately protect the roof from water
intrusion. This poor condition could cause severe water damage to the interior bays of the building
affecting both the District and tenants' property.
Plans and specifications were prepared by Purchasing with guidance from the technical consultant. The
Bid Request was formed and issued by Purchasing. The Engineer's Estimate for the construction cost
was $120,000. The Bid Request was advertised on August 4 and 9, 1998. Six bids were received
and publicly opened on August 18, 1998. The bids ranged from a low of $110,789 to a high of
$178,130; a Summary of Bids is shown as Attachment I. The Purchasing Division conducted a
technical and commercial evaluation and determined that Sparks Roofing Co., Inc. is the lowest
responsible bidder with a bid amount of $110,789.
The Pre-Bid/Post Construction Estimate, Attachment II, lists the allocation of funds. Staff has
conducted a cash flow evaluation of the Sewer Construction Fund and concluded that adequate funds
are available for this project.
RECOMMENDATION: Authorize the award of a construction contract to Sparks Roofing Co., Inc. as
the lowest responsible bidder in the amount of $110,789 for the Ught Industrial Building Roof

Engineering Dept.lCapital Projects Div.
.ISSUE: Board of Directors' authorization is required for the General Manager-Chief Engineer to execute
professional services agreements in amounts greater than $50,000.
BACKGROUND: Wastewater from the communities of Orinda and Moraga is pumped to the District's
gravity system by eight pumping stations. Located in a sensitive East Bay Municipal Utility District
watershed, Lower Orinda, Orinda Crossroads, and Moraga are the flagship pumping stations (see
location map in Exhibit 1). The District Pumping Station Master Plan identified a need to renovate
these three stations to meet long range operating goals. These operating goals include firm pumping
capacity, equipment reliability, safety, and ease of maintenance and operation. The February 1998
overflow at Orinda Crossroads has created a new urgency to bring these stations into compliance with
these operating goals.
Lower Orinda is the District's oldest active pumping station at approximately 50 years old. The station
does not meet the District's criteria for reliable wet weather capacity, and most of the mechanical and
electrical equipment is obsolete and difficult to maintain. A study performed in 1996 by G. S. Dodson
and Associates concluded that it is feasible to upgrade the existing station, but limited space and
operational complexities make it a very expensive option. Staff is currently evaluating the potential/cost
effectiveness of relocating the station to a nearby site. Any relocation will require extensive
coordination with the City of Orinda and the Orinda Country Club.
The Orinda Crossroads and Moraga Pumping Stations are nearly identical stations built in 1959. Both
stations are undergoing a long term, multi phase rehabilitation program to bring them into conformance
with the District's operating goals. Phases completed to date have addressed wet weather capacity,
seismic improvements, odor control, and various reliability issues. This phase will further improve
reliability, safety, and operation by replacing the dry weather pumps, associated piping, and outdated
electrical and mechanical equipment.

ORINDA, ORINDA CROSSROADS, AND MORAGA PUMPING STATIONS, DISTRICT PROJECT NO.
5237
In February 1998, the Orinda Crossroads Station experienced a major pump failure that resulted in
a spill into San Pablo Creek. This failure was significant in that Orinda Crossroads is downstream of
six other District pumping stations. The subsequent forensic/reliability investigation identified a number
of reliability issues that need to be remedied at the Orinda Crossroads and Moraga Pumping Stations.
Additional reliability improvements are expected to be mandated by the Regional Water Quality
Control Board. To address these concerns, staff has accelerated the final phase of improvements for
the Orinda Crossroads and Moraga Pumping Stations and has combined the improvements with the
Lower Orinda Pump Station Project.
In December 1997, a request for proposals (RFP) for the design of complete renovation of the Lower
Orinda Pumping Station was prepared and mailed to eight consulting engineering firms. Staff
evaluated the proposals, interviewed four engineering consultants and selected G. S. Dodson and
Associates. G. S. Dodson and Associates prepared the 1988 District's Pumping Stations Master Plan
and a detailed Lower Orinda Renovation Feasibility Study. G. S. Dodson and Associates demonstrated
in-depth knowledge of pumping stations, developed some good cost saving renovation alternatives
and is familiar with the District standards.
In light of the accelerated schedule for the Orinda Crossroads and Moraga Pumping Stations and the
opportunity to keep the design and construction of the stations similar, staff proposes to utilize
G. S. Dodson and Associates for the design of improvements to all three stations.
A cost reimbursement contract has been negotiated with G. S. Dodson and Associates with a cost
ceiling of $451,400. Under the proposed agreement, G. S. Dodson and Associates will prepare a
complete design of the long term improvements at the Orinda Crossroads and Moraga Pumping
Stations, including the most recent reliability concerns, and will provide assistance to District staff in
evaluating the relocation of the Lower Orinda Pumping Station to a new site. Once a
recommendation is made with respect to relocation or renovation of the Lower Orinda Pumping
Station, the Board will be asked to approve a position paper authorizing the General Manager-Chief
Engineer to amend the agreement with G. S. Dodson and Associates.
The Lower Orinda Pumping Station Improvements is included in the 1998-99 Capital Improvement
Budget (pages CS-91-93) with a budgeted total project cost of $5,435,000. The Orinda/Moraga
Pumping Station Improvements Project is included in the 1998-99 Capital Improvements Budget
(pages CS 97-100) with a budgeted total project cost of $6,030,000.

Staff has concluded that this authorization is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act
(CECA) under District CECA Guidelines Section 17.3 since it involves planning and design tasks for
possible future actions which the District has not approved, adopted, or funded, and the outcome of
these tasks will not have a legally binding effect on later activities. Approval of this position paper

District will conduct an environmental evaluation of any capital project which is proposed in the future
as a result of these planning and design tasks to determine the appropriate CECA compliance
documentation.

ADOPT A RESOLUTION DECLARING AN EMERGENCY FOR THE REPAIR OF THE WATERSHED 44
CREEK CROSSING, DISTRICT PROJECT NO. 5059
SUBMITTED BY
Tad J. Pilecki
INITIATING DEPT /DIV
Engineering Dept./Capital Projects Div.
ISSUE: In situations where emergency work is necessary to avoid a public calamity arising from a threat
to public health and damage to the environment, Board adoption of a resolution declaring an emergency
is needed to allow staff to expend sums without complying with the normal statutory bid requirements
of the Public Contract Code.
BACKGROUND: In 1978, the District installed a 39-inch sewer across the Walnut Creek Channel just
south of the Imhoff Bridge. The sewer serves the Clyde and North Concord area otherwise known as
Watershed 44. Initially, the sewer was installed in a concrete encasement 1.5 feet below the bottom
of the low flow channel. Over the years, water has eroded the soil cover, and the concrete encased
sewer has become a dam/waterfall across the creek's low flow channel.
Last fall, staff noted that the soil erosion had accelerated and significantly more of the concrete
encasement had been exposed. A geotechnical engineer (DCM/Joyal Engineers) and a structural
engineer (Uoyd Grossen and Company) were retained to evaluate the condition of the creek crossing.
Results of the evaluation indicated that enough of the encased sewer had been exposed such that the
line was in danger of failing during high flows in the creek. Staff immediately began monitoring the
crossing for movement and designed a temporary fix. Attempts to obtain all necessary permits for the
repair from the agencies having jurisdiction was unsuccessful. Fortunately, although there was
significant total rainfall this past season, there was no single large flow event which was sufficient to
compromise the structural integrity of the sewer line.
In March, staff began working on the design of a more permanent repair to be constructed this summer
or early fall. However, any repair work in the Walnut Creek Channel requires permits from Fish and
Game, National Marine Fisheries Service, Army Corp of Engineers, County Flood Control District, and
the Regional Water Quality Control Board. The general permits could not be issued before each agency
approved the manner of repair. As with the temporary fix, it has been extemely difficult to get the
various agencies involved to agree on a method of repair.

CREEK CROSSING, DISTRICT PROJECT NO. 5059
After five months, staff has obtained concurrence from these agencies and the permits are "in the
mail." However, the permit process has taken so long, that staff can no longer comply with the
bidding requirements under the Public Contract Code and meet Fish and Game's deadline of October
15, 1998, for completion of all work.
Pursuant to Sections 20806 and 22050 of the California Public Contracts Code, the District may
expend sums required in an emergency without complying with the normal statutory bid requirements
of the Public Contract Code. The Board may declare an emergency when necessary to avoid a public
calamity arising from a threat to public health and damage to the environment. The 39-inch sewer
serving Watershed 44 carries an average of 2.4 mgd. Flows in the line can reach as much as 10
mgd during major wet weather events. In light of the potential of this line failing during a major storm
event this coming wet season, staff is requesting that the Board adopt a resolution declaring an
emergency with respect to this project. A brief presentation of the situation will be made at the
Board Meeting. In addition, staff will report the current status of the emergency repairs at each
regularly scheduled Board meeting until the emergency no longer exists, or the repairs are completed,
whichever occurs first.
In order to expedite the repair of the crossing, staff has solicited proposals for performing the repair
from four contractors currently employed by the District. The results of this solicitation will also be
presented to the Board. This project is in the 1998/99 Capital Improvement Budget on pages CS-56-
58.
Staff has concluded that this project is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEOA)
under District CEOA Guidelines Section 18.2(b) (repairs and minor alterations to existing public sewer
facilities). Furthermore, staff has concluded that this project also is exempt from CEOA under CEOA
Statute Sections 21 080(b) (4) since it involves specific actions necessary to prevent an emergency.
Approval of this project will establish the Board of Director's independent finding that these projects
are exempt from CEOA.
RECOMMENDATION: Adopt a resolution declaring an emergency for the repair of the Watershed 44
Creek Crossing, D.P. 5059.

NOW, THEREFORE, be it resolved by the Board of Directors of the Central Contra Costa Sanitary District
as follows:
THAT, emergency work is required to avoid a public calamity arising from the threat to public health and

CONTRACTUAL ASSESSMENT DISTRICT NO. 98-3
SUBMITTED BY

INITIATING DEPT/DIV
Engineering Department/Environmental Services
ISSUE: Adoption of three resolutions are needed to proceed with the formation of a demonstration
project known as the Haven Lane Contractual Assessment District (C.AD.) No. 98-3.
BACKGROUND: A group of property owners whose parcels are located on Haven Lane in Walnut Creek
have contacted Central Contra Costa Sanitary District (CCCSD) staff to obtain information regarding
connecting their homes to CCCSD's public sewer system. The formation of this C.AD. was discussed
at the Board meeting on August 6, 1998. Attachment 1 is a map showing the extension of a public
sewer (approximately 520 linear feet) in Haven Lane. There are a total of 12 parcels that could be
served by the proposed sewer extension. Eleven of the owners of these parcels are interested in
connecting their homes and participating in the C.AD. The other owner does not wish to participate in
the project.
The C.A.D.s to date have been demonstration projects. The criteria applicable to the formation of these
C.AD.s has been discussed as the previous C.A.D.s were formed. The current criteria are still
considered to be draft. Once the criteria are formally adopted by the Board, the projects associated with
C.A.D.s will cease to be demonstration in nature.
The approach to the Haven Lane demonstration project will be based on previous C.AD.s. Pursuant to
Streets and Highways Code Section 5898.10, the C.AD. statutory program includes the formation of
the district, execution of an assessment agreement between the participating owners and CCCSD,
installation of the sewer extension by a contractor employed by the owners, allocation of funds by
CCCSD to finance the costs of the C.AD., and future payments by the owners to reimburse CCCSD for
the funds it provides.
Each participating owner will be allowed to select between (1) paying the full amount of their assessed
share of cost upon completion of the sewer project, or (2) CCCSD financing their assessed share of the
cost of the project. The financing would be in the form of CCCSD paying the full amount of the
owner's share(s) of the public sewer cost initially, placing charges, including interest, on the owner's

property tax bill for ten successive years, thereby, fully reimbursing CCCSD. The assessed share of the
one nonparticipating owner will be borne by the participating owners. If, and when, the
nonparticipating owner's home is connected to the proposed sewer extension, CCCSD would collect
a reimbursement charge and apply these collected funds: (1) toward reducing the remaining
assessments of the participating owners who are paying annual assessments on their tax bills and (2)
toward refunds to the participating owners who have no outstanding debt obligation to CCCSD.
The assessments for the participating owners will be subject to the provisions of Proposition 218,
which require a vote prior to the public hearing and a public hearing to consider protests to
assessments. The participating owners will be mailed ballots and will indicate their final position by
voting on whether or not they agree to be assessed for the sewer improvements. The results of the
voting will be announced at a future public hearing.
The initial step toward creation of the Haven Lane C.A.D. No. 98-3 is to adopt a resolution which will
indicate CCCSD's intention to designate an area within which contractual assessments are appropriate;
describe the proposed financing for the project; establish the boundaries of the C.AD.; set the time,
date, and place for a public hearing at which interested persons may inquire about or object to the
proposed program; and direct staff to prepare a report. The report will include:
· A map.
· A draft agreement specifying the terms and conditions that would be agreed to
between participating property owners within the contractual assessment area and
CCCSD.
· A statement of CCCSD policies concerning contractual assessments, including the
identification of types of facilities that may be financed through the use of contractual
assessments; authorization for the General Manager-Chief Engineer to enter into
contractual assessment agreements on behalf of CCCSD; maximum aggregate dollar
amount of contractual assessments; and a plan for raising a capital amount required to
pay for work performed pursuant to contractual assessments. The plan will include a
statement of, or method for, determining the interest rate and time period during which
the contracting property owners would pay any assessment.
Adoption of the attached resolution of intention is appropriate to begin the process to form Haven Lane
C.AD. No. 98-3. It is also appropriate to adopt two additional resolutions which will allow staff to
proceed with the formation of Haven Lane C.AD. No. 98-3. One of these resolutions will approve

RESOLUTION OF INTENTION TO UNDERTAKE A DEMONSTRATION PROJECT
DESIGNATING HAVEN LANE AS CONTRACTUAL ASSESSMENT DISTRICT
NO. 98-3 FOR THE PURPOSE OF INSTALLING SEWER IMPROVEMENTS
WHEREAS the public health and the environment will be best protected by the
expansion of the public sewer system;
WHEREAS the construction and installation of a sanitary sewer pipeline, together
with appurtenant work and facilities, in areas not presently connected to the sewer system
will facilitate the elimination of potential public health problems;
WHEREAS a demonstration project designed to facilitate the elimination of failing
septic tanks is presently being considered; and
WHEREAS it would be convenient and advantageous to establish a boundary around
an area within which the District and property owners may enter into contractual
assessments and make arrangements to finance public improvements to parcels which are
developed and where the costs and time delays involved in creating an assessment district
pursuant to alternative provisions in the law would be prohibitively large relative to the cost
of the improvement.
THEREFORE, the Board of Directors of the Central Contra Costa Sanitary District
resolves:
1 . This Board intends to order the following improvement under the authority of
the Municipal Improvement Act of 1911, as amended, to wit: Construction
and installation of approximately 520 linear feet of sanitary sewer line,
together with appurtenant work and facilities located at Haven Lane in Walnut
Creek, California.
2. This Board finds that the parcels within the Contractual Assessment District
are shown within the boundaries of the map entitled, "Proposed Boundary of
Haven Lane Contractual Assessment District No. 98-3."
3. This Board intends to levy a special assessment upon participating parcels
within the described district in accordance with the special benefit to be
received by each parcel of land, respectively, from the improvement. The
improvement proposed will not confer any special benefit upon any publicly
owned land. Hence, there shall be omitted from special assessment all public
streets, alleys, and places and all land belonging to the United States, the
State of California, the County of Contra Costa, and this District now in use
in the performance of a public function.
4. This District will finance the improvements from the Sewer Construction
Fund. Assessments shall be paid over a maximum period of ten (10) years
with interest at a rate to be fixed by the District.

5. The procedure for the collection of assessments will be the placement of
assessments on participating owner's property tax bills. The first
assessments will be placed on owner's property tax bills in fiscal year
1 999 - 00.
6. This Board appoints Curtis Swanson, Principal Engineer, as Engineer of Work
for this project, and directs the preparation of the report required by
Section 5989.22 of the Streets and Highways Code.
7. The amount of any surplus remaining in the improvement fund after
completion of the improvement and payment of all claims shall be distributed
in accordance with the provisions of Section 10427 of the Streets and
Highways Code.
8. A public hearing shall be held on this matter at which interested persons may
object to or inquire about the proposed program or any of its particulars at 2
p.m. on or about Thursday, December 17, 1998, at the District offices, 5019
Imhoff Place, Martinez. This date is tentative and may be modified in the
future.
9. The Board independently finds that this project is exempt from the California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) under CEQA Statute, Section 21080.21,
since it involves construction of a pipeline less than a mile in length in a public
right of way.

RESOLUTION REQUESTING CONSENT TO
CONDUCT ASSESSMENT PROCEEDINGS
HAVEN LANE CONTRACTUAL ASSESSMENT DISTRICT NO. 98-3
The Board of Directors of the Central Contra Costa Sanitary District (CCCSD) resolves:
On September 3, 1998, the Board adopted a Resolution of Intention, a copy of which is
attached hereto, marked Exhibit A, and by reference incorporated herein as though fully set forth.
All of the property proposed to be assessed lies within the unincorporated territory of
Contra Costa County. All public streets, alleys, places, and all land belonging to the United
States, the State of California, the County of Contra Costa, and the CCCSD shall be omitted from
assessment because it has been determined that no special benefit will be conferred on any such
land within the proposed Assessment District.
Contra Costa County will, in the opinion of the Board of Directors of CCCSD, be
benefitted by the improvements referred to in the Resolution of Intention, and the purposes
sought to be accomplished by the work can best be accomplished by a single, comprehensive
scheme of work.
The consent of Contra Costa County, through its Board of Supervisors, is hereby
requested to the formation of the Assessment District described in said Resolution of Intention,
to the improvement described, and to the assumption of jurisdiction by the CCCSD Board of
Directors for all purposes in connection with the formation of this Assessment District, the
improvements to be made and the assessment of property within the boundaries of the proposed
Assessment District.

AUTHORIZE THE GENERAL MANAGER-CHIEF ENGINEER TO EXECUTE AN AGREEMENT WITH

SUBMITTED BY
Michael J. Penny, Assistant Engineer
INITIATING DEPTIDIV
Engineering Dept./Capital Projects Div.
ISSUE: The Board of Directors' authorization is required for the General Manager-Chief Engineer to
execute professional service agreements in amounts greater than $50,000
BACKGROUND: To address wet weather overflow problems in Pleasant Hill, the District has embarked
on a five phase project to construct the Pleasant Hill Relief Interceptor (PHRI.) Phases 1, 2, and 3 (from
the Treatment Plant to Taylor Boulevard) have been constructed. These completed segments which
the Board authorized have performed without a single overflow this past winter. The design of Phases
4 and 5 of the PHRI was partially completed in 1996 and suspended due to a reevaluation of the
project priorities. Phase 4, which will address the overflow that occurred in January 1997, is scheduled
for construction in 1999, and will extend the PHRI from Taylor Boulevard to the north side of Sequoia
Middle School. Phase 5, scheduled for construction in 2003, will extend the PHRI to Oak Park
Boulevard via Patterson Boulevard. A recycled water line is being installed in conjunction with each
phase of the Interceptor.
A significant change in the design is caused by a new Contra Costa County Flood Control District
(CCCFCD) project which will construct a 96 inch diameter storm drain perpendicular to the District's
interceptor project at the intersection of Oak Park and Patterson Boulevards in Pleasant Hill. To avoid
conflict with the storm drain elevation, it is necessary to lower the interceptor which will result in a
redesign of approximately 2,000 linear feet. If the construction of the CCCFCD Project occurs before
Phase 5 of the PHRI, it may be prudent to incorporate the portion of the interceptor under the storm
drain into the CCCFCD project. Other new scope items include incorporation of adjacent sewer main
modifications and recycled water distribution piping and metering.
The design for the PHRI was prepared by Montgomery Watson, who was selected through a formal
Request for Proposal process. It is now appropriate to proceed with the completion of the design for
Phases 4 and 5. A cost reimbursement contract has been negotiated with Montgomery Watson with
a cost ceiling of $91,413

REVIEW AND APPROVE THE STATEMENT OF INVESTMENT POLICY
SUBMITTED BY
Debbie Ratcliff, Controller
INITIATING DEPTJDIV
Administrative/Finance & Accounting
ISSUE: The District's investment policy should be reviewed and approved annually by the Board of
Directors.
BACKGROUND: In 1984, the California legislature amended Government Code Section 53646 to require
that the treasurer or chief fiscal officer annually render to the legislative body of the local agency a
statement of investment policy, and render a monthly report to the chief executive officer and legislative
body of the local agency showing the type of investment, institution, date of maturity, amount of
deposit, current market value for all securities with a maturity of more than 1 2 months, rate of interest,
and such data as may be required by the local agency.
Section 53646 remained in effect only until January 1, 1991, and as of that date was repealed.
The California Legislature added a new Government Code Section 53646 via Senate Bill 564 as of
January 1, 1996. The annual rendering of a statement of investment policy to the governing Board for
review and approval as well as a monthly investment report has been continued through the 1995
enactment. Those provisions were incorporated into our investment policy at that time.
The 1997 amendments to Government Code Section 53646 are either non-substantive or inapplicable
to the District. Therefore, there are no recommended changes to the investment policy this year.
RECOMMENDATION: Review, suggest any changes if appropriate, and approve the District's
investment policy.

ESTABLISHED BY
The Board of Directors
I REFERRING TO
The investment policy of the Central Contra Costa Sanitary District is embodied in the following eleven
sections:
I. Statement of Objectives
The temporary investment portfolio of the District will be managed to ensure that normal cash
needs, as well as scheduled extraordinary cash needs can be met. Therefore, adequate liquidity
will be the first priority. Second priority will be the safety of the portfolio ensuring that the
investments could be readily converted to cash if needed without causing a material change In
the value of the portfolio. Lastly, the portfolio will be invested to attain a market average rate of
return, after meeting the first two previously stated objectives.
II. Permissible Investments
Within the constraints prescribed by the Government Code of the State of California for
permissible investments, the District's investment portfolio will only be invested in the following
instruments:
. United States Treasury Bills and Notes, and obligations of government agencies for which
the full faith and credit of the United States are pledged.
. Bankers Acceptances, drawn on and accepted by a commercial bank, which are eligible
for purchase by the Federal Reserve System.
. Collateralized Certificates of Deposit issued by a Federal or State chartered bank or a
Federal or State chartered savings and loan association.
. Commercial Paper of prime quality limited to corporations with assets over $500,000,000.
. Local Agency Investment Fund of the State of California.

INVESTMENT POLICY
III.
Banks and Dealers
The District will use the services of the Treasurer's Office of the County of Contra Costa
which will transact the District's investment decisions in compliance with the requirements
described in this investment policy. The County Treasurer's Office will execute the District's
investments through such brokers, dealers, and financial institutions as are approved by the
County Treasurer, and through the State Treasurer's Office for investments in the Local
Agency Investment Fund.
IV.
Maturities
The maximum maturity for investments of the District is one year. Prior approval of the
Board of Directors must be obtained to acquire investments with maturities beyond one
year. However, investments in Treasury Notes and the Local Agency Investment Fund
would not be subject to the one year maximum maturity.
V.
Diversification
To minimize the risk of loss through default, the total amount invested in a single issuer will
not be greater than 15 percent of the District's investment portfolio value, except that the
15 percent limitation will not apply to United States Treasury Bills and Notes and
investments in the Local Agency Investment Fund.
VI.
Risk
Credit and market risks will be minimized through adherence to the list of permissible
investments, a limit on maximum maturities, and the limitation on the total investment in
a single issuer.
VII.
Delegation and Authority
The District Controller will be responsible for investment transactions which should be made
in accordance with this investment policy and within the internal controls described in
Section IX.

INVESTMENT POLICY
VIII.
Prudence
Prudent judgment must be exercised by the District Controller responsible for investment
transactions undertaken in accordance with this investment policy.
IX.
Controls
The District Controller will establish subsidiary accounting records of each investment which
will enable the determination of income earned monthly and through maturity, and the
balancing of the principal amounts to a control account in the general ledger. Internal
control procedures will require the countersignature of the Deputy General Manager for all
transactions which are initiated by the Controller. The dollar limit of the Deputy General
Manager will be $5 million. Investment transactions which exceed $5 million will require
the additional approval of the General Manager-Chief Engineer. Such internal controls are
to be reviewed by the District's independent auditors annually.
X.
Reporting
The District Controller will annually render a statement of investment policy to the Board of
Directors. The Controller will submit a monthly report to the District's General Manager-
Chief Engineer, Board of Directors and internal auditor showing the type of investment,
issuer, date of maturity, par (or face), dollar amount invested, current market value of all
securities, and the source of this same valuation, and a statement of compliance of the
portfolio with the investment policy.
XI.
Performance Evaluation
A performance evaluation will be completed by the District's independent auditors every four
years, commencing with the 1984-1985 fiscal year, to determine whether the investment
objective of achieving a market-average rate of return is being realized. In determining the
market-average rate of return, the average return of three month U.S. Treasury Bills will be
used.
