ADOPT APPROPRIATIONS LIMITS
SUBJECT
ADOPT A RESOLUTION ESTABLISHING THE 1997-1998 APPROPRIATIONS LIMIT IN ACCORDANCE WITH
ARTICLE XIII B 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 B of the California Constitution.
BACKGROUND: On August 7, 1997, 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 4, 1997 Board Meeting at which the
adoption of the appropriations limit is recommended.
Formerly, the appropriations limit was increased annually by a factor comprised of the change in population
combined with either the change in California per capita personal income or the Consumer Price Index,
whichever was lower. As amended by Proposition 111 in 1990, the Consumer Price Index was replaced
by the percentage change in the local assessment roll from the preceding year due to local nonresidential
construction. The Board is to 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 1996-1997 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 1997-1998 to be 11.3
percent. The California per capita personal income percentage change is 4.67. The change in the local
assessment roll of 11.3 percent is being used in the calculation of the 1997-1998 appropriations limit, to
allow for a larger limit on the District's proceeds of taxes.
The computation of the 1997-1998 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 1997-1998,

was provided at the August 7, 1997 Board Meeting. The Sewer Construction Fund (Capital Fund)
appropriations limit so computed is $31,724,762 for the 1997-1998 fiscal year.
The District's proceeds of taxes are budgeted to be $5,438,000 for the 1997-1998 fiscal year. Interest
on these tax proceeds are estimated to be $314,000. Therefore, total tax proceeds plus interest IS
$5,752,000 which is well within the appropriations limit set for the 1997-1998 fiscal year.
RECOMMENDATION: Adopt a resolution establishing the Sewer Construction Fund appropriations limit
in the amount of $31,724,762 for the 1997-1998 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.
RESOLUTION NO. 97-
A RESOLUTION ESTABLISHING THE APPROPRIATIONS
LIMIT FOR FISCAL YEAR 1997-1998
WHEREAS, the Central Contra Costa Sanitary District is required under Article XIII B of the State of
California Constitution to establish and adopt an Appropriations Limit for each fiscal year; and
WHEREAS, the District has determined the Appropriations Limit of its Sewer Construction Fund
(Capital Fund) for fiscal year 1997-1998 to be $31,724,762; and
WHEREAS, the selection of the alternative growth factor between the per capita personal income or
the change in the local assessment roll due to local nonresidential construction must be made by recorded
vote;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Board of Directors of the Central Contra Costa Sanitary
District does hereby adopt the Appropriations Limit for said Fund in the amount of $31,724,762 for the
fiscal year ending June 30, 1998, based upon the selection of the change in the local assessment roll due
to local nonresidential construction.

AUTHORIZE THE ATTENDANCE OF RANDY SCHMIDT, ASSOCIATE ENGINEER, AT FOUR USEPA
SEWAGE SLUDGE INCINERATOR (SSI) STAKEHOLDER MEETINGS IN DURHAM, NORTH CAROLINA.
SUBMITTED BY
Randy Schmidt, Associate Engineer
INITIATING DEPTf1)IV
Engineering/Planning
ISSUE: Approval by the Board of Directors is required for travel outside of California or if the expense
will exceed $500.
BACKGROUND: The current Sewage Sludge Incinerator (551) regulations were developed under the
Clean Water Act and are implemented by EPA Office of Water. The District meets these existing SSI
regulations. EPA Office of Air is proposing to develop new 551 regulations under the Clean Air Act.
These new SSI regulations could be significantly more stringent and result in substantial costs to CCCSD
and other sewage sludge incinerators due to additional pollution control equipment and monitoring which
may be required.
EPA plans to have quarterly stakeholder meetings in North Carolina until the sewage sludge incinerators
rules become final in the year 2000. EPA has requested representatives from the Association of
Metropolitan Sewerage Agencies' (AM SA) incinerator workgroup to participate in these stakeholder
meetings. The workgroup has asked Randy Schmidt, Associate Engineer, to participate in these
stakeholder meetings due to Randy's experience in air regulations and as a representative from a
California wastewater treatment facility which utilizes incineration. The first stakeholder meeting is
scheduled for September 16, 1997, and there will be three additional meetings in FY 1997-98. The
anticipated cost for attendance at each meeting is approximately $1,000.
Since participation in these stakeholder meetings was not anticipated at the time the O&M budget was
completed, staff requests permission to over-expend the Planning Division's account by the amount of
this authorization.
RECOMMENDATIONS: Authorize the attendance of Randy Schmidt, Associate Engineer, at the EPA
Stakeholder meetings in Durham, North Carolina on September 16, 1997, and Quarterly through June
30, 1998, at approximately $1000 per meeting.

ISSUE: Approval by the Board of Directors is required for travel outside of California or if the expense will exceed
$500.
BACKGROUND: As part of the recent negotiations with the Employees' Association, Public Employees' Union,
Local One and the Management SupporV Confidential Group, side letters to the Memoranda of Understanding were
signed regarding the formation of a labor-management committee to develop an Employees' Reward Program. The
purpose of the program will be designed to recognize employees' contributions to continuous improvement and
aeate a means for furthering cost savings, customer satisfaction, operational efficiencies and an enhanced worKing
environment. The committee is scheduled to be formed and hold its initial meeting in November 1997. It will be
chaired by Human Resources Manager Cathryn Freitas.
The International Quality and Productivity Center is holding a two and one-half day conference on gainsharing and
other incentives for teanH>ased oompensation. The purpose of the conference is to provide benchmar1<s from private
industry on successful methods to support process improvement by gainsharing. While employees realize the
necessity of becoming more customer focused, process centered and adaptive to change, the private sector has
found that the key to connecting organizational objectives, team goals and individual development for employees is
through teanH>ased oompensation. Attendance at this conference would provide technical knowledge for Ms. Freitas
to share with the labor-management committee on structuring a team-based program of monetary incentives for
employees.
The registration for the conference is $1795. Airfare, transportation, meals and lodging will be approximately $1200.
The formation of the committee was not anticipated at the time of the department O&M budget; however, sufficient
funds are available in the department budget to cover the expense.
RECOMMENDATIONS: Authorize the attendance of Cathryn Freitas at the International Quality and Productivity
Center conference in Chicago, IL from September 22-24, 1997.

EMINENT DOMAIN PROCEEDINGS FOR ACQUISITION OF PUBLIC SEWER AND RECYCLED WATER LINE
EASEMENTS FOR THE PLEASANT HILL RELIEF INTERCEPTOR, PHASE 4, DISTRICT PROJECT NO. 4985
SUBMITTED BY
Tad J. Pilecki, Senior Engineer
INITIATING DEPTIDIV
Engineering Dept./lnfrastructure Div.
ISSUE: The District may exercise the power of eminent domain to acquire public easements only if the
District Board of Directors adopts a Resolution of Necessity that meets the requirements of the California
Eminent Domain Law. In deciding whether or not to adopt such a Resolution, the District must first hold
a hearing to allow affected owners to appear and be heard.
BACKGROUND: The next portion of the Pleasant Hill Relief Interceptor Sewer (PHRI Phase 4) to be installed
in 1998 is located between Taylor Boulevard and Gregory Lane predominately in Ardith Drive. In February
of 1982 and 1986 and January 1997, the collection system serving the Pleasant Hill community experienced
significant wet weather related sewer overflows. The PHRI purpose is to reduce the potential for these
overflows. The completion of PHRI Phase 4 will correct the overflows experienced this past January in the
vicinity of Price Lane and Gregory Lane.
The selection of the Ardith Drive route for the PHRI was part of the detailed alignment evaluation that
occurred in conjunction with the preparation of the Environmental Impact Report for the Pleasant Hill/A-Line
Sewer Overflow Protection Project (EIR). During the preparation of the EIR, staff evaluated various routes
for the PHRI in the Gregory Lane area. These included the proposed Ardith Drive route, the Contra Costa
Boulevard route and several modifications of both of these routes. The Ardith Drive and Contra Costa
Boulevard routes were determined by staff to be the most viable alignments, and the Board at its September
4, 1991, meeting certified the Final Program EIR and approved the Ardith Drive route. The Ardith Drive route
was selected over Contra Costa Boulevard because the Ardith Drive route eliminated the need for trunk
sewers downstream of this route and it avoided traffic and utility disruptions along Contra Costa Boulevard.
In February 1993, staff revisited the Ardith Drive route and evaluated four alignments that avoided the
private property that is the subject of today's hearing. After this additional evaluation, staff concluded that
the original Ardith Drive route is still the preferred route for the following reasons:
· It has the lowest construction cost
· It has the best hydraulics
· The fewest number of residents would be impacted
· Traffic impacts would be less

EASEMENTS FOR THE PLEASANT HILL RELIEF INTERCEPTOR, PHASE 4, DISTRICT PROJECT NO. 4985
The same evaluation looked at the routing of the recycled water line and reached the same conclusion that
the original Ardith Drive route was the best.
District staff is presently completing the design of PHRI Phase 4. Construction is currently scheduled to start
in April of 1998. District has been negotiating with owners of nine properties along the proposed alignment
and has reached or believes it can reach settlement with eight of the property owners. Little progress has
been made over the past year with the remaining property owner (Mrs. Maryellen Smith) who owns five
parcels located immediately north of Gregory Lane. Based on the difference in positions between the District
and this owner and the lack of progress on negotiations, staff considers it appropriate to proceed with the
commencement of eminent domain action at this time. A subsequent eminent domain action may be
necessary if negotiations to obtain easements across any of the other remaining properties are unsuccessful.
Mrs. Smith has received an offer of just compensation based on an appraisal prepared by a licensed real
estate appraiser. District staff has continued negotiating and will continue to negotiate with Mrs. Smith in
the hope of reaching an agreement. It is now appropriate to proceed with the adoption of a Resolution of
Necessity to obtain needed property rights to provide for a timely start of construction of the project. In
making its decision whether or not to adopt a Resolution of Necessity, the District Board is required to first
conduct a hearing giving the property owner, whose property the District proposes to acquire by eminent
domain, reasonable opportunity to appear and be heard. On August 15, 1997, there was mailed to the
address appearing on the last equalized County Assessment Roll a Notice of Public Hearing notifying all
persons (Mrs. Smith) whose names appear on said County Assessment Roll as having an interest in the
property described in Attachment "A" of the proposed Resolution of Necessity of said hearing. Said Notice
of Hearing advised Mrs. Smith of her right to be heard on the matters referred to in said Notice on the date
and at the time and place stated therein.
Bids for the construction of the project are scheduled to be received in March of 1998 with work beginning
in April of 1998. The goal is to have property rights secured through the eminent domain process by
December 31, 1997. If the Board adopts a Resolution of Necessity and authorizes the filing of a
condemnation complaint and the deposit of the probable amount of compensation, the District may apply
to the Court for an Order For Immediate Possession. Even if the court were to grant such an order, it is
possible, depending upon Court rulings, that it might take ninety days or more after the issuance of the order
for the District to obtain possession. Given these time restrictions it is advisable that the Board take action
regarding the Resolution of Necessity at this time.
Specific details of the eminent domain issues will be provided to the Board in closed session. Staff will
provide a brief presentation to the Board on the route selection and eminent domain issues in open session.
On September 4, 1991, the Board certified the Final Program EIR for the Pleasant Hill/A-Line Sewer Overflow
Protection Project and approved the Ardith Drive route segment. On September 16, 1993, the Board
approved the Negative Declaration for the Recycled Water Pipeline Project.

Dear Mrs. Smith:
NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING ON THE RESOLUTION OF NECESSITY REGARDING
CONDEMNATION OF PERMANENT AND TEMPORARY EASEMENTS; APN 150-141-001;
APN 150-141-002; APN 150-141-003; APN 150-141-004; APN 150-141-005
Central Contra Costa Sanitary District (District) is planning to construct a sanitary sewer
through the City of Pleasant Hill in order to reduce the number of sewer overflows that
have occurred during heavy rains. Additionally, in conjunction with this project, the
District will be constructing a recycled water pipeline to provide the community an
inexpensive source of water for industrial and municipal uses.
As you are aware, this public improvement project will impact your property on Gregory
Lane. The District has been trying to negotiate with you the purchase of the necessary
property rights to construct this project over a portion of land owned by you. You have
been presented with an offer of just compensation and given a Statement of and
Summary of Basis for the amount established as Just Compensation. To date the District
has been unable to secure the property rights across your property required for the
project.
At this time, District staff seeks to obtain timely possession of the property rights by
recommending to the District's Board that an eminent domain proceeding be commenced.
The first part of the eminent domain process is the adoption of a Resolution of Necessity
by the District's Board. However, no contract for the project will be awarded unless the
District Board elects to adopt the Resolution of Necessity, which is the subject of this
Notice of Public Hearing. This action is necessary at this time due to the notification/time
constraints associated with the eminent domain process. The eminent domain process
is essentially one by which the District asks the court to provide the District property
rights for a public project, in exchange for compensation determined by a court or jury.
The law requires that certain parties be notified by the District concerning the Resolution
of Necessity hearing. Please be advised that a public hearing is scheduled at the District
Board Room at the above address on September 4, 1997, at 3 p.m. The purpose of this
hearing is to consider information as further identified below. Staff intends to recommend
to the District's Board at the meeting on September 4, 1997, that it adopt a Resolution
ID-GL\H:IINFRAIDPI20131ISMITH.NTC
@ Recycled Paper
Mrs. Maryellen Smith

of Necessity to acquire by condemnation the proposed easements across your property
described in the Resolution of Necessity.
You are hereby notified that you have the right to appear at the hearing and be heard
concerning the issues set forth in the California Code of Civil Procedure
Section 1240.030, which are:
· whether the public interest and necessity require the District's project;
· whether the project is planned or located in the manner that will be most
compatible with the greatest public good and the least private injury; and
· whether the subject easements are necessary for the project.
You may also be heard on the issue of whether an offer, as required by Government Code
Section 7267.2, was made to you. However, the amount of compensation for the
easement interests in your property is not a subject of this hearing and will not be
considered by the District's Board in making its decision whether or not to adopt a
Resolution of Necessity.
In order to appear and be heard at the hearing, you must file with the Secretary of the
District, Joyce Murphy, within fifteen (15) days after the date of mailing of this notice,
a written request to appear and be heard. Failure to do so will result in waiver of your
right to appear and be heard.
The District's negotiator, Rick Hernandez, will continue to discuss relevant issues with
you concurrent with the District taking steps to obtain rights to enter your property. It
remains our desire to reach an agreement with you on compensation for the property
rights required for the District's project.
Please feel free to contact the undersigned at (510) 229-7273 or Rick Hernandez at

CONDUCT A PUBLIC HEARING; CONSIDER APPROVING THE "SPECIFIC FACILITIES PLAN FOR
WASTEWATER UTILITY SERVICE TO DOUGHERTY VALLEY AND TRIBUTARY PROPERTIES" AND A
GRAVITY TUNNEUTRUNK SEWER PROJECT
SUBMITTED BY
Jarred Miyamoto-Mills, Principal Engineer
INITIATING DEPTIDIV
Engineering/Planning
ISSUE: The Board of Directors has set September 4, 1997, as the date for a public hearing prior to
considering approval of the "Specific Facilities Plan For Wastewater Utility Service To Dougherty Valley
And Tributary Properties" and a gravity tunnel/trunk sewer project.
BACKGROUND: Several County planning and environmental studies, as well as legal settlement
agreements, have identified the District as the preferred wastewater utility service provider to future
development in Dougherty Valley. To formally recognize the District as the appropriate service provider,
the Contra Costa Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCO) recently amended the District's Sphere
of Influence (SOl) to include Dougherty Valley. Given the District's recent annexation of the eastern half
of Dougherty Valley (Windemere Ranch) and much of the tributary properties, and in anticipation of
annexation requests for the remainder of the valley and tributary properties later this year, it is appropriate
at this time to finalize the District's facilities planning for this area.
Previous studies have weighed the technical and financial feasibility of many wastewater facility options
for serving Dougherty Valley and tributary properties and narrowed the choices down to the two best
alternatives: construction of a tunnel to transport wastewater out of the valley by gravity or construction
of a Dougherty Valley pumping station.
A draft "Specific Facilities Plan for Wastewater Utility Service to Dougherty Valley and Tributary
Properties," prepared by staff and made available for public review, summarizes these previous studies
and recommends construction of the tunnel alternative due to its technical feasibility and financial,
operational, and environmental superiority to the pumping station alternative. Two tunnel design options,
however, remain to be resolved during the project's predesign stage. Also recommended in the Specific
Facilities Plan are other necessary downstream facilities to be constructed over time and General
Development Standards for Wastewater Utility Service to ensure adequate project financing without
financial risk to current or future District customers. It is appropriate to receive comments in a formal
public hearing prior to Board consideration of the staff recommendations.

SUBJ ECT
CONDUCT A PUBLIC HEARING; CONSIDER APPROVING THE "SPECIFIC FACILITIES PlAN FOR
WASTEWATER UTILITY SERVICE TO DOUGHERTY VALLEY AND TRIBUTARY PROPERTIES" AND A
GRAVITY TUNNELlTRUNK SEWER PROJECT
The environmental impacts of the facilities and policies recommended in the Specific Facilities Plan
(including a gravity tunnel/trunk sewer project and other downstream improvements, such as the Larwin
Pumping Station expansion) have been addressed in the County's 1996 Final Subsequent Environmental
Impact Report, Windemere - Phase I and Gale Ranch - Phase II (SCH# 96013003). The CCCSD Board
of Directors reviewed this EIR during its deliberations regarding annexation of the Windemere property
in June 1997 and concluded that this EIR addressed the wastewater utility service issues pertaining to
Dougherty Valley and tributary properties.
In compliance with the District Code, a legal notice was published in the Contra Costa Times, a
newspaper of general circulation in the area affected by the Specific Facilities Plan. The legal notice
announced the availability of the draft Specific Facilities Plan for public review; the date, time, and
location of today's public hearing; and the District's intent to consider adoption of a final Specific Facilities
Plan. Additionally, copies of the notice and draft Specific Facilities Plan were mailed to affected land use
agencies, major area developers, and other interested parties.
Before considering approval of the Specific Facilities Plan and any of its recommendations, the Board
should consider any comments received during the public review process and the public hearing.
Comment letters and staff responses will be submitted to the Board of Directors at the September 4,
1997 meeting.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
1 . Conduct a public hearing on the draft "Specific Facilities Plan for Wastewater Utility Service to
Dougherty Valley and Tributary Properties" (a suggested agenda is attached).
2. Adopt the attached resolution approving the "Specific Facilities Plan For Wastewater Utility Service
To Dougherty Valley And Tributary Properties" and a gravity tunnel/trunk sewer project.

RESOLUTION NO. 97-
A RESOLUTION APPROVING THE uSPECIFIC FACILITIES PlAN
FOR WASTEWATER UTILITY SERVICE TO
DOUGHERTY VALLEY AND TRIBUTARY PROPERTIES"
AND A GRAVITY TUNNELITRUNK SEWER PROJECT
WHEREAS, several County planning and environmental studies, as well as legal
settlement agreements, have identified the Central Contra Costa Sanitary District (CCCSD) as
the preferred wastewater utility service provider to future development in Dougherty Valley;
and
WHEREAS, the Contra Costa Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCO) has
recently amended CCCSD's Sphere of Influence (SOl) to include Dougherty Valley and
tributary properties in order to formally recognize CCCSD as the appropriate wastewater utility
service provider for the Dougherty Valley area; and
WHEREAS, CCCSD has recently annexed the eastern half of Dougherty Valley
(Windemere Ranch) and much of the tributary properties, and anticipates annexation requests
for the remainder of the valley and tributary properties later this year; and
WHEREAS, CCCSD has had long-standing policies and past practices of preferring
gravity service to the use of pumping stations and eliminating or consolidating existing
pumping stations whenever possible; and
WHEREAS, over the past several years, CCCSD has undertaken or commissioned
several studies to determine the most appropriate method of providing wastewater utility
service to Dougherty Valley and tributary properties; and
Page 4 of 6
WHEREAS, the results of these studies, as summarized in the uSpecific Facilities Plan
for Wastewater Utility Service to Dougherty Valley and Tributary Properties," indicate that a
gravity tunnel/trunk sewer alternative is recommended over a Dougherty Valley pumping
station due to its technical feasibility and financial, operational, and environmental superiority
to the pumping station alternative; and
WHEREAS, General Development Standards for Wastewater Utility Service have been
proposed in the Specific Facilities Plan to give plan area developers early notice of CCCSD's
expectations and requirements for wastewater utility service to Dougherty Valley and tributary
properties and to ensure adequate project financing without financial risk to current or future
District customers; and
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, DETERMINED, AND ORDERED THAT
SECTION 1. The CCCSD Board of Directors, acting as a Responsible Agency under the
California Environmental Quality Act, certifies that it has reviewed and considered the
information contained in the County's 1996 Final Subsequent Environmental Impact Report,
Windemere - Phase I and Gale Ranch - Phase II (SCH# 96013003) relevant to the provision of
wastewater utility services to Dougherty Valley and tributary areas.
SECTION 2. The CCCSD Board of Directors independently finds that the extension of
wastewater utility services to the Dougherty Valley and tributary areas would create
significant short-term construction impacts, as well as project-level and cumulative impacts on
Page 5 of 6
wastewater system capacity and the need for new facilities. These significant impacts can be
reduced to less-than-significant levels through implementatipn of the mitigation measures
required of the project by Contra Costa County (the Lead Agency).
SECTION 3. The CCCSD Board of Directors independently finds that implementation of
the wastewater mitigation measures (annex the project; collection of fees to mitigate the cost
of facility expansion projects; adoption of the tunnel alternative if geotechnical, design, and
economic issues can be resolved; and implementation of standard construction mitigation) is
the responsibility of CCCSD. This mitigation implementation will occur in accordance with the
County's Conditions of Approval and Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program, which are
incorporated by reference and hereby adopted by CCCSD. Implementation of all other
mitigation measures are within the responsibility and jurisdiction of other public agencies and
not CCCSD. CCCSD staff shall file a Notice of Determination in compliance with CEOA
Guidelines, Section 15096(i).
SECTION 4. The CCCSD Board of Directors hereby adopts the "Specific Facilities
Plan for Wastewater Utility Service to Dougherty Valley and Tributary Properties," including
the General Development Standards for Wastewater Utility Service to ensure adequate
facilities financing without financial risk to current or future District customers.
SECTION 5. The CCCSD Board of Directors hereby approves Alternative E-1 (Gravity
Tunnel to the Larwin Pumping Station) as described in the Specific Facilities Plan, including
construction of a gravity tunnel and associated trunk sewers, as well as phased expansion of
the Larwin Pumping Station and an associated forcemain. This alternative is preferable to a
Page 6 of 6
Dougherty Valley pumping station because of its technical feasibility and financial, operational,
and environmental superiority.

The District is the designated purveyor of recycled water in the Pleasant Hill area (Zone 1) and for five
current recycled water customers near the treatment plant. The District has received the necessary
permit to serve these recycled water customers from the Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB).
The AWQCB permit requires the District to establish and enforce rules and regulations for recycled water
uses.
A new section of the District Code, Title 11, has been written to establish rules and regulations of
recycled water use for current and future customers. The Board of Directors previously received a copy
of Title 11 on August 7, 1997. Please refer to Attachment 1 for a summary of the issues covered in
Title 11. Since the new code section will be used to create permits and will establish enforcement of
permit restrictions, a public hearing will allow current and future customers to review and comment on
the new code section.
RECOMMENDATION: Hold public hearing to receive comments on proposed Title 11, Recycled Water
and consider approval of ordinance to add Title 11, Recycled Water to District Code.

AUTHORIZE AWARD OF CONTRACT FOR SECURITY ACCESS AND VIDEO SYSTEMS (DP8172) TO
NORTHLAND CONTROL SYSTEMS
SUBMITTED BY
Bonnie Allen, Risk Manager
INITIATING DEPT/DIV
Administrative/Risk Management
ISSUE: Board authorization is required for District staff to issue a negotiated contract for furnishing and
installing the Security Access and Video Systems.
BACKGROUND: The project purpose is to install an electronic access security system and intruder video
system in both the HOB and POD main entrances and in selected security risk areas, such as the Materials
Control building (warehouse). This will reduce unauthorized entry, provide the District protection from loss
of equipment and important records, and offer personal protection for the employees. The consultant's
estimate for the work was $81,000.
A Bid Request was issued and bids were opened on May 21,1997. Only one bid was received from
CardKey Systems in the amount of $217,904. A technical evaluation revealed that the bidder took a major
material variance to the Bid Request. At the July 3, 1997 Board meeting, the Board declared the bid non-
responsive and authorized staff to negotiate a contract(s) for the completion of the project pursuant to the
Public Contract Code. The Board of Directors requested that staff report back to the Board on the project's
status and to obtain authorization to award a negotiated contract.
Staff began negotiations with CardKey Systems in an effort to define the true scope of work and obtain
competitive pricing for the work that was closer to the estimate of $81,000. Staff also began negotiations
with Northland Control Systems. Both negotiations were in good faith that led to substantial savings. After
completing all of the negotiations CardKey had reduced their initial bid amount to approximately $97,000,
a 45% reduction, but still over the District's estimate. However, Northland Control Systems has submitted
a proposal of $80,650 that is inclusive of all requested items. Staff is therefore recommending that a
contract be awarded to Northland Control Systems.
The security access and video system project is included in the fiscal 1996-1997 Capital Improvement
Budget on pages GI 22 and 23.
Staff has concluded that this project is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEOA) under
District CEOA Guidelines Section 18.2 since it involves minor alterations to an existing public structure with

AUTHORIZE AWARD OF CONTRACT TO JEFFCO PAINTING & COATING, INC. FOR CLEANING AND
PAINTING OF THE LIGHT INDUSTRIAL BUILDING, 4737 IMHOFF PLACE, MARTINEZ, CALIFORNIA
SUBMITTED BY
Ken F. Laverty, Purchasing & Materials Mgr.
INITIATING DEPTIDIV
Administrative/Purchasing and Materials Control
ISSUE: The District has received bids for cleaning and painting of the exterior of the light industrial building
at 4737 Imhoff Place, Martinez, CA. The Board of Directors must authorize award of the construction
contract or reject all bids within sixty (60) days of the opening of bids.
BACKGROUND: The light industrial building located at 4737 Imhoff Place, which is adjacent to the District's
Treatment Plant was built in 1981 and purchased by the District in 1 991. The original paint is now 16 years
old and no repainting has been done previously. The building has concrete slab exterior walls that now have
minor cracking and both the walls and roll up doors have faded in color, therefore it is now prudent to reseal
and repaint this building.
The Bid Request was advertised on August 5 and 10, 1997. Four bids were received and publicly opened
on August 18, 1997. These bids are listed on Attachment 1, Tabulation of Bids. Purchasing staff has done
a commercial and technical evaluation of the bids. The lowest responsible bidder is Jeffco Painting &
Coating, Inc. with a bid of $16,766. The initial engineer's estimate for this work was $23,000.
The color selection for 4737 Imhoff is the same as the new Household Hazardous Waste Facility to give
continuity to the entire complex. This repainting work is part of the 1997-1998 O&M Budget in the
Purchasing and Materials Control Division.
Staff has determined that this project is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEOA) under
District Guidelines Section 18.2, since it involves a minor alteration to an existing facility with no expansion
of use beyond that previously existing. The Board of Directors' approval of this project will constitute an
independent finding that the project is exempt from CEOA.
RECOMMENDATION: Authorize award of a contract to Jeffeo Painting & Coating, Inc., the lowest
responsible bidder, for $16,766 for cleaning and painting of 4737 Imhoff light industrial building.

Engineering Department/Plant Engineering Division
ISSUE: Construction has been completed for the reinstallation of the flexible neoprene flaps on the outfall
diffusers for the Outfall Improvements Project, Phase IV, District Project No. 7184, and the work is now
ready for acceptance.
BACKGROUND: The District has a 72-inch outfall discharging the plant effluent to Suisun Bay. This outfall
was constructed in 1958. In early 1970, major modifications to the eleven (11) diffusers were performed
including removing the nozzle diffusers and retrofitting them with flexible neoprene flaps to provide proper
dilution of the plant effluent. Proper dilution of the plant effluent is one of the conditions of the District's
National Pollution Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit.
At the suggestion of the Board, a recent underwater inspection of the submarine outfall was performed in
1996. The outfall structure is in excellent condition, however, the flexible neoprene flaps were missing on
five (5) of the eleven (11) diffusers. Details of this project are also included on pages TP-13 through TP-15
of the Fiscal Year 1997-98 Capital Improvement Budget.
The construction contract was awarded to Underwater Resources, Inc. of San Francisco on January 9,
1997. The contract price for the replacement of five (5) missing flaps was $80,100. The Contractor was
issued a Notice to Proceed on January 24, 1997. In addition to this contract, there were two additional
contracts related to outfall repair and maintenance. The first was a service contract for a maximum of
$15,800 for the removal of sediment contained inside the outfall. This work was completed on June 26,
1997 for a cost of $14,800. The second was for the repair of the cover plates to the three access
structures on the outfall. This work was completed on June 5, 1997 for a cost of $6,000.
The Contractor had made a claim for additional compensation because of excessive sediment build-up
outside the outfall around the diffuser section that would interfere with its underwater operations. The
District hired an independent diver to verify the conditions of sediment build-up and was unable to
substantiate the Contractor's claim. The claim was denied. The underwater survey also revealed that the
configurations of the diffusers were slightly different from the record drawings; therefore, staff redesigned
a new flap assembly that can be installed on the existing diffusers. This new design reduced construction
time and cost.

ACCEPT CONTRACT WORK FOR THE REINSTALLATION OF FLEXIBLE NEOPRENE FLAPS ON THE
OUTFALL DIFFUSERS, DISTRICT PROJECT 7184, AND AUTHORIZE THE FILING OF THE NOTICE OF
COMPLETION
At the direction of the Board, staff proceeded to direct Underwater Resources, Inc. to perform the work on
a time and material basis to replace all eleven (11) flexible neoprene flaps. Work was completed on July 18,
1997. The total construction cost was $34,704.50 which resulted in a savings of $45,395.50.
It is appropriate to accept the contract work at this time. This project is a portion of Phase IV of the Outfall
Improvements Project, which also includes the installation of an additional final effluent pump. The total
project budget is $2,241,000. An accounting of project costs will be provided to the Board at the time of
project close out.
RECOMMENDATION: Accept the contract work for the reinstallation of the flexible neoprene flaps on the
outfall diffusers for the Outfall Improvements Project, Phase IV, DP 7184, and authorize the filing of the
Notice of Completion.

ISSUE: Board action is required to adopt resolutions to proceed with the formation of a demonstration
project to be named Leona Court Contractual Assessment District No. 97-2 (C.A.D. No. 97-2)
BACKGROUND: On August 7, 1997, the Board of Directors adopted a resolution directing the preparation
of a report for a demonstration project known as Leona Court C.A.D. No. 97-2. Two additional actions
by the Board are appropriate at this time: 1) approve the boundary of the assessment district and 2)
request the consent of Contra Costa County to the District conducting proceedings for Leona Court C.A.D.
No. 97-2. Separate resolutions have been drafted for each action, and the resolutions are attached for
review.
Also at the meeting on August 7, the subject of reimbursements to participating owners was discussed.
Four of the eight owners on Leona Court are going to pay the full cost of the proposed sewer project.
As the four nonparticipating owners connect their homes to the proposed sewer in the future, a repayment
charge will be collected. Staff has investigated various ways to approach the repayment charge and is
proposing three options for Board consideration. These options are shown on the attached charts. The
assumptions for discussion purposes are as follows:
· An original, individual assessment is $10,000.
· The interest rate is 1 percent above the Local Agency Investment Fund (LAIF) rate.
· Interest will be compounded annually.
The value of the repayment by year is shown in Table 1 using a 6.68 percent interest rate (current LAIF
rate plus 1 percent).

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 400-linear feet of sanitary
sewer line, together with appurtenant work and facilities located at Leona
Court in Alamo, 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 Leona Court Contractual Assessment District No. 97-2."
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, 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 shalt be paid over a maximum period of ten (10) years
with interest at a rate to be fixed by the District.

Resolution No. 97-141
5. The procedure for the collection of assessments will be the placement of
assessments on participating parcel owner's tax bills. The first assessments
will be placed on owner's tax bills in fiscal year 1998 - 99.
6. This Board appoints Jay McCoy, Infrastructure Division Manager, 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 2 p.m. on or about Thursday,

ADOPT REVISED JOB CLASS DESCRIPTION FOR THE POSITION OF NETWORK COORDINATOR (G-65,
$3689-$4471 ).
SUBMITTED BY
Cathryn Freitas, Human Resources Manager
INITIATING DEPTIDIV
Administrative/Human Resources
ISSUE: Board authorization is required to adopt job class descriptions.
BACKGROUND: The Network Coordinator position has evolved significantly since its approval as an
authorized staff position in the 1995-1996 Personnel Budget. The position was created and added in order
to enhance and maintain the District's growing computer and telephone network. The position was initially
filled in September, 1996 by an individual who left the District six months later.
After having the position filled for six months, and subsequently using a temporary employee for an
additional four months, we realized that a different and more sophisticated set of skills and abilities were
needed to meet the District's requirements for this position. Our experience with both the employee and
the temporary staffer who filled this position, afforded us a valuable opportunity to review and evaluate the
skills and experience necessary to be successful in this position. As a result, we have carefully revised the
scope and duties of the Network Coordinator so that staff can select an applicant who will better meet the
demands of this position.
The Board Personnel Committee reviewed and approved the revised job class description at their meeting
of August 19, 1997 as well as approving the filling of the vacancy. The revised job description is attached;
additions are in bold and deletions are shown in strikeout. The District's information systems have become
increasingly complex and encompass a growing number of different systems - these are reflected in the
revised job description. The bulk of the changes are in the Essential Duties and Minimum Qualifications
Sections. These areas have been expanded to include the specific technical skills and areas of knowledge
needed in the District's network environment. No change in salary is recommended. The revised description
provides a good basis to recruit an individual with the breadth and depth of skills necessary to successfully
support the growing Central San Network.
RECOMMENDATION: Adopt the revised job class description to reflect the duties that the position has
developed.

SUBMITTED BY

INITIATING DEPT",.V
Administrative/Human Resources
~: In accordance with the Memorandum of Understanding (M.O.U.) between the District and the Central
Contra Costa Sanitary District Employees' Association, Public Employees' Union, Local No. One, the Board
must employ an arbitrator to render a recommendation when grievances are appealed to the Board level.
BACKGROUND: The Union is grieving two issues regarding call-back pay. They believe any call prior to the
work day should be paid at three (3) hours of overtime regardless if the call ends after the start of the work
day. They have also grieved the method of calculating overtime and call-back compensation for the stand-by
crew on New Year's Day. The General Manager-Chief Engineer heard this grievance at Step 3 of the
Grievance Procedure and has denied the grievance on these two issues. The grievant has appealed the
grievance to the Board of Directors.
In matters that are appealed to the Board of Directors (Step 4), the M.O.U. reads as follows:
"Step Four
In the event such differences are not settled and the grievant desires the grievance to be
considered further, it shall be presented, in writing, to the Secretary of the District within five
(5) days of receipt of the General Manager-Chief Engineer's decision. The Secretary shall
calendar the agenda item at the next regularly scheduled Board Meeting in keeping with
established guidelines for calendaring an agenda item.
The Board shall employ a neutral third party to hear the matter and recommend action to the
Board. The District and the Union shall equally share the cost. If the parties cannot agree
on a neutral third party, then a list of five (5) neutral individuals shall be requested from the
State Conciliation Service and the parties shall use the alternate elimination method to
determine who shall conduct the hearing. The Board may adopt, reject, or modify the
recommendation of the appointed neutral third party. The decision of the Board is the final
action of the District."

AMEND EMPLOYMENT CONTRACTS WITH GENERAL MANAGER-CHIEF ENGINEER AND SECRETARY OF
THE DISTRICT
SUBMITTED BY
Joyce E. Murphy, Secretary of the District
INITIATING DEPT/DIV
Administrative
ISSUE: Board approval is needed to amend the employment contracts with the General Manager-Chief
Engineer (GM-CE) and the Secretary of the District (Secretary) to accommodate recent changes in the District
benefits plan.
BACKGROUND: At the time the current employment contracts with the GM-CE and Secretary were drafted
(effective July 1, 1993 and July 1, 1994 respectively), a new provision was added to deal with payment of
accumulated vacation, sick leave, and severance pay at the time of termination. This language conflicts with
provisions relating to terminal compensation approved in the new Memoranda of Understanding (MOUs)
adopted between the District and the bargaining units. It is proposed that the language contained in the
contracts with the GM-CE and the Secretary be eliminated and that the terminal compensation provision
included in the MOUs with the other bargaining groups be applied to the GM-CE and the Secretary as well.
It is also proposed that language in the Secretary's contract relating to benefits be modified. It is proposed that
the Secretary receive the same benefits program which the managers receive both in terms of dollar amount
and timing. In the past, the Secretary has been independent of the managers who negotiate on a different
time schedule to avoid a conflict of interest in representing the Board in dealings with the managers. However,
several complications have resulted from having a separate benefits program for the Secretary administered on
a different date. Prior to negotiation of the new MOU with the Management Group, the Secretary's Cafeteria
Plan (CP) allowance was $500 and the managers received $300 per month for their CPo The District's
Cafeteria Plan now requires that all changes be effective January 1. It is proposed that the difference of $200
be automatically eliminated effective January 1, 1998. At that time, the provisions of the new managers'
MOU relating to CP will be in effect and the $200 by which the Secretary's CP allowance exceeds the
managers' would be transferred to her salary. After January 1, 1998, the Secretary would be fully integrated
into the managers' benefits program negotiated effective June 1, 1997 or as may be negotiated in future years.
RECOMMENDATION: Amend the current employment contracts with the GM-CE and the Secretary to delete
reference to terminal compensation thus applying the terminal compensation program in place for all other
District employees to the GM-CE and the Secretary, and fully integrate the Secretary's benefits program into
the managers' benefits program.

AUTHORIZE AMENDMENT TO THE DEFERRED COMPENSATION PlAN AGREEMENT WITH GREAT
WESTERN BANK
SUBMITTED BY
Debbie Ratcliff, Controller
INITIATING DEPT.t)lV
Administrative/Finance & Accounting
!SSYE: Board authorization is needed to amend the Deferred Compensation Plan Agreement with Great
Western Bank.
BACKGROUND: The District established a Deferred Compensation Plan (Plan) covering all full-time
employees in January 1976. The Plan is administered by the District's Deferred Compensation Plan Advisory
Committee. Monthly contributions to Plan accounts are made into designated investment options maintained
by Hartford Ufe Insurance Company, ICMA Retirement Corporation, and Great Western Bank.
Recently, Great Western Bank entered into an alliance with FundSelect Advisors, Inc. to provide improved
participant communications, education and marketing services. FundSelect Advisors, Inc. has been
administering public sector retirement and savings plans since 1975.
FundSelect in cooperation with Great Western has developed a revised list of 25 investment options (22
mutual funds) for the Deferred Compensation Plan (see Attachment 11). This list is intended to cover all
major asset classes (ie.: Fixed Income/Cash, Bonds, Large Cap Stocks, Mid Caps/Small Cap Stocks and
International Stocks) and investment objectives. The advantage of this core group of funds is an increased
diversity to the investment portfolio.
The funds selected have to meet specific criteria. First, all of the mutual funds must have a Morningstar
Rating of at least three stars or better. Additionally, each mutual fund must allow daily trading with same
day "buys" and "sells." Other factors considered were fund performance relative to risk, asset size,
participant interest and name recognition.
The Deferred Compensation Committee requested that seven additional mutual funds be added to the core
list of 25 investment options. The reason for this request is that the majority of these seven funds are
current investment options under the existing agreement with Great Western, and the committee wants to
minimize any changes to participants currently invested in these funds. These seven meet the same criteria
as the core group recommended by FundSelect.

AUTHORIZE AMENDMENT TO THE DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLAN AGREEMENT WITH GREAT
WESTERN BANK
In the future, FundSelect will review all investment options on a periodic basis. New funds may be added
quarterly. However, the removal of investment options will take place annually. Because of the routine
nature of these revisions and changes, it is recommended that the Board delegate its authority to the
Controller as the Chairperson for the Deferred Compensation Committee to approve these types of
administrative changes in the future (see Attachment I). Any such changes would be orally presented to the
Board.
RECOMMENDATION: The Deferred Compensation Ran Committee recommends that the Board approve the
amendment (Attachment I, II, and III) to the current Deferred Compensation Plan Agreement with Great
Western Bank adding a new list of core funds and allowing future fund changes and administrative matters
to be approved by the Controller as Chairperson for the Deferred Compensation Committee.

options available under the deferred compensation plan as of the effective date
listed above.
B. Employer agrees that FunclSelect~ Advisers, Inc., ("FundSelect~") may unilaterally

Investment Options" attached hereto as Item III.

REVIEW AND APPROVE THE STATEMENT OF INVESTMENT POUCY
SUBMITTED BY

INITIATING DEPTIOIV
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 fascal 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 12 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.
Although no longer statutorily required, the annual rendering of a statement of investment policy to the
governing Board for review and approval as well as a monthly investment report is considered prudent and
has been continued.
The Board will recall that last year, several changes to the investment policy were recommended to conform
to changes in Government Code Section 53646. The California Legislature amended Government Code
Section 53646 via Senate Bill 564 to require that as of January 1, 1996:
a. The treasurer or chief fiscal officer annually render to the legislative body of the local agency a
statement of investment policy. (This practice has been continued since the original repeal of Section
53646 in January, 1991.)
b. The treasurer or chief fiscal officer render a quarterly report to the chief executive officer, the internal
auditor, and legislative body of the local agency showing the type of investment, issuer, date of
maturity, par (or face) value and dollar amount invested, current market value for all securities, and
the source of this same valuation, and such data as may be required by the local agency. This report
was updated last year to include all new requirements and will continue to be provided monthly until
the Board indicates otherwise.

REVIEW AND APPROVE THE STATEMENT OF INVESTMENT POUCY
c. The quarterly report should include a statement of compliance of the portfolio with the investment
policy. (This compliance statement was added to our monthly report.)
d. The quarterly report should state the ability of the local agency to meet its pool's expenditure
requirements for the next six months. (Since the District does not pool its investments, the reporting
provisions of S8564 regarding pooling does not apply.)
The attached Policy and Procedure was updated last year to reflect the new requirements of Government
Code Section 53646. 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.

INVESTMENT POUCY
ESTABUSHED BY
The Board of Directors
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 S~te 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.

III.
Banks and Dealers
The District will use the services of the Treasurer's Offic.e 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.
8/12/97
SUBJECT
INVESTMENT POUCY
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.
