DATE April 27, 1993 SUBJECT AUTHORIZE A NOTICE OF A PUBLIC HEARING ON MAY 20, 1993 TO CONSIDER ADOPTING A REVISED SCHEDULE OF RATES AND CHARGES TYPE OF ACTION SET PUBLIC HEARING DATE SUBMITTED BY Steven A. Elsberry Accounting Supervisor INITIATING DEPT.lDIV Administrative/Finance & Accounting ISSUE: Various District fees, which comprise a schedule of rates and charges, have been reviewed, and a revised schedule of fees is recommended for adoption following a public hearing. BACKGROUND: Chapter 6.30 of the District Code describes various fees which are assessed for services provided to contractors and developers, and other users of the District's wastewater collection and treatment system. These fees are generically referred to as the District's schedule of rates and charges. The fees are intended to reimburse the District for labor and operating expenses incurred in providing the services. The current fees were established by the Board in June 1992, effective July 1, 1992. At that time, the Board decided that rates and charges should include 75% of administrative overhead phased in over three years at 25% each year. It was intended that the fees would be reviewed annually beginning in 1993 and that the annual review would alternate between adjusting the rates for the effect of the District-wide salary increase and a detailed review of each fee. The rates effective July 1, 1992 were based on a detailed review of each fee. The current review adjusts the rates to include the 3.2% District- wide salary increase effective May 1, 1993. In addition, the rates will be adjusted to include the second of three 25% increments of administrative overhead. The results of the staff review, together with a comparison of similar fees of neighboring sanitary districts, will be submitted to the Board at the May 20, 1993 Board Meeting. The proposed revised schedule of rates and charges will be distributed to representatives of the Building Industry Association of Northern California, the Engineering and Utilities Contractors' Association, the Association of General Contractors, and the District's permitted waste haulers to provide an opportunity for comments and Questions to be directed to District staff prior to the public hearing. RECOMMENDATION: Authorize a notice of a public hearing on May 20, 1993 to consider the proposed revised schedule of rates and charges.

A date for a public hearing to receive comments on the document should be established. BACKGROUND: The Fiscal Year 1993-94 Capital Improvement Budget will establish near-term project priorities and authorize budgets for the Treatment Plant, Collection System, and General Improvements Programs. Detailed information for projects that are anticipated to be active in Fiscal Year 1993-94 is presented in the Capital Improvement Budget document. The 1993 Ten- Year Capital Improvement Plan will provide the basis for policy decisions concerning the District's Capital Improvement Program and management of the Sewer Construction Fund. The Capital Improvement Plan also serves as the framework for fee analysis. On March 5, 1993, the Capital Projects Committee met with District staff to review the draft Capital Improvement Budget/Capital Improvement Plan. The committee reviewed the document, and a workshop with the full Board in attendance was held on March 25, 1993, to discuss the Capital Improvement Budget/Capital Improvement Plan. It is appropriate to receive comments in a formal public hearing prior to consideration of the Capital Improvement Budget/Capital Improvement Plan for approval.

TYPE OF ACTION AUTHORIZE ATTENDANCE SUBMITTED BY INITIATING DEPT./DIV. Ba T. Than i n ISSUE: Approval by the Board of Directors is required for unbudgeted travel if the expense will exceed $500. BACKGROUND: Maintenance scheduling forthe District's collection system is accomplished using the Sewer Maintenance Management System (SMMS) software. This program, which is also used to maintain historical data, is written in dBase 11I+. The SMMS system is operated by Maintenance Coordinator I Ralph Bates. The District's future plans include the integration of the maintenance data with the mapping data in the Computer Aided Mapping (CAM) system. This Computer Programmer's Conference will provide detailed information on shifting SMMS to dBase IV, the application of dBase IV to network operation, and the interface between dBase IV and UNIX (the operating system for CAM). This option is potentially the lowest cost approach to integrating SMMS and CAM. In addition, the conference will provide information of the use of "picture capture" as a way of reducing the District's dependency on videotape technology for recording the results to television inspection activities. The $800 registration fee includes a licensed copy of dBase IV and the supporting documentation which will be used for software development by District Staff. Other options for this integration have been estimated to cost over $50,000. The cost of this conference registration and travel will be charged to the Sewer Maintenance Management System Modifications and Improvement Project, District Project 20037 (page CS-60 in the 1992/93 Capital Improvement Budget). RECOMMENDATION: Authorize the attendance of Ralph Bates, Maintenance Coordinator I, at the May 16-19, 1993 Computer Programmers Conference given by Borland International in San Diego, California at a cost not to exceed $1,800.

Dhaliwal INITIATING DEPT./DIV. Plant Operations Department ISSUE: Board authorization is needed to purchase equipment items from the Equipment Budget Contingency Account when the cost exceeds $2,000. BACKGROUND: The District purchased its analytical balance, Mettler Model H-1 0, over 20 years ago. This balance has been the main workhorse of weighing in the solids section of the laboratory. This balance has now broken down. According to Heusser Instrument. Company, an analytical balance service company, this balance cannot be repaired, primarily because the manufacturer discontinued this model long ago, and no parts are available. Currently, the laboratory does not have a replacement for this balance. An analytical balance is critical for the solids section of the laboratory; therefore, an analytical balance is needed immediately. RECOMMENDATION: Authorize the purchase of a new analytical balance from the 1992-93 Equipment Budget Contingency Account at a cost not to exceed $4,000. 1302A-7/91 '({ M(L COMMENDED FOR BOARD ACTION INITIATI,NG DEPT./DIV.

ADMINISTRATIVE a. DATE TYPE OF ACTION AUTHORIZE FUNDS/ AUTHORIZE AWARDS SUBMITTED BY Paul Morsen INITIATING DEPT./DIV. ISSUE: Authorization of the Board of Directors is required for the General Manager-Chief Engineer to allocate funds in excess of $25,000 from the General Improvements Program Contingency Account. The District has received proposals for District Project No. 20141, Telephone Communication System Project. The District must award the purchase orders or reject all proposals within 90 days of the receipt of the proposals. BACKGROUND: The District's AT&T Dimension 400 Private Branch Exchange (PBX) telephone system is currently in its tenth year of operation. The system is unreliable and its technology obsolete. Over the past year, the District has been experiencing frequent telephone system maintenance problems that are typical of aging equipment. In 1992, manufacturers began phasing out their parts inventory and suppliers will soon stop supporting the District's telephone system altogether due to the high costs of servicing the few Dimension systems that are still operating. Considering the needs of safety, emergency response, and cost-effective utilization of labor, a reliable telephone communication system is imperative to District operations. Therefore, a new and more reliable PBX system is required. Replacement of the District's existing telephone system was originally scheduled for the 1993-94 Capital Improvement Budget (CIB). However, due to increasing telephone breakdowns adversely affecting normal District operations and after discussion with the Board in the autumn of 1992, this schedule was accelerated. In order to effectively identify and evaluate the District's current and future telephone needs, as well as the need to specify the technical parameters of a new system, a District Telephone Communications Committee was formed. An initial $25,000 contingency allocation was approved by the General Manager-Chief Engineer to begin the Telephone Communications Committee work in September 1992. The committee recommended that they work with an independent consultant to assist in selecting a system because of the rapid advancements and technological sophistication in the electronic communication industry. A second allocation of $40,000 was authorized by the Board in November 1992, which includes the services of an independent telecommunications consultant, Communication Sales Dynamics (CSD). The committee with the assistance of CSD has spent the last seven months surveying and identifying user groups and their needs, developing and issuing a Request for Quotation and Qualifications (RFQ), negotiating a contract with a third party supplier to install compatible REVIEWED AND RECOMMENDED FOR BOARD ACTION N PM SUBJECT AUTHORIZE $337,000 FROM SEWER CONSTRUCTION FUND FOR THE GENERAL IMPROVEMENTS PROGRAM CONTINGENCY ACCOUNT AND AUTHORIZE GENERAL MANAGER-CHIEF ENGINEER TO ALLOCATE $337,000 AND AUTHORIZE AWARDS TO PACTEL MERIDIAN SYSTEMS AND OCTEL COMMUNICATIONS FOR THE TELEPHONE COMMUNICATION SYSTEM PROJECT, DISTRICT PROJECT NO. 20141 PAGE DATE 2 OF 5 May 3, 1993 communication cable, and preparing and issuing the final Request for Proposal (RFP) for the acquisition of a new (PBX) system. The committee has accomplished the following tasks: . Form Telephone Communications Committee - September 1992 . Employ Consultant Services (CSD) - November 1992 . Assess the District's Telephone Needs - November/December 1992 . Cut Needs Assessment to Reduce System Costs . Develop a Request for Quotation (RFQ) for the New Telephone System - January/ February 1993 . Identify the Need For and Install Digital Communication Cable - March 1993 . Develop a Request for Proposal (RFP) for the New Telephone System - March 1993 . Evaluate RFP . Negotiate With the Lowest Cost Proposer to Further Reduce Costs and Make Recommendations - April 1993 Project completion is anticipated in June/July 1993. From both the RFQ and RFP processes, the committee and CSD recommend that the District obtain the Northern Telecom Meridian switching systems from PacTel Meridian Systems and a voice mail system from Octel Communications. Both suppliers proposed the lowest cost, digital PBX system with new digital telephone sets and a District-wide voice processing system. The selected PBX will be one common system that offers a transparent link between both District sites, Martinez and Walnut Creek, and has the capability to accommodate future telephone networking developments. The new equipment will be able to provide accounting cost controls and in-house system management. In order to minimize costs, voice mail and direct-inward dialing (DID) are the only major options added. All other features offered were determined as options that can be added in the future if the need exists, and they are found to be cost effective. Since the Telephone Communication System Project was not included in the 1992-93 CIB, an allocation of $337,000 from the General Improvements Program Contingency Account is needed to complete the project, as shown in Attachment 1. Insufficient funds remain in this account to cover the proposed allocation. Therefore, staff recommends a supplemental authorization from the Sewer Construction Fund to the contingency account to cover the allocation. The current balance of the Sewer Construction Fund, minus unspent prior authorizations, plus projected dependable revenue will be adequate to fund this project. A funding summary is presented in Attachment 2. 1302B-7/91 SUBJECT AUTHORIZE $337,000 FROM SEWER CONSTRUCTION FUND FOR THE GENERAL IMPROVEMENTS PROGRAM CONTINGENCY ACCOUNT AND AUTHORIZE GENERAL MANAGER-CHIEF ENGINEER TO ALLOCATE $337,000 AND AUTHORIZE AWARDS TO PACTEL MERIDIAN SYSTEMS AND OCTEL COMMUNICATIONS FOR THE TELEPHONE COMMUNICATION SYSTEM PROJECT, DISTRICT PROJECT NO. 20141 PAGE DATE 3 OF 5 May 3, 1993 Staff has determined that this project is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CECA) under District CECA Guidelines Section 5.2, since it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment. Board of Directors' approval of this project will constitute a finding of agreement with this determination, unless otherwise indicated. RECOMMENDATION: Authorize $337,000 from the Sewer Construction Fund for the General Improvements Program Contingency Account, and authorize the General Manager-Chief Engineer to allocate $337,000 to the Telephone Communication System Project (DP 20141), and authorize the award of purchase orders for new switching systems for $231,119 to PacTel Meridian Systems and a voice processing system for $44,605 to Octel Communications. 13028-7/91 Page 4 of 5 ATTACHMENT 1 TELEPHONE COMMUNICATION SYSTEM PROJECT (DP 20141) POST-BID/PRECONSTRUCTION ESTIMATE ITEM ITEM DESCRIPTION TOTAL 1 District Force Account $ 30,000 .

FOR RIGHT OF WAY ACQUISITION SERVICES FOR THE PLEASANT HILL WET WEATHER RELIEF INTERCEPTOR PROJECT, DP 4879 Tad Pilecki, Senior Engineer INITIATING DEPT.lDIV. Engineering Dept./lnfrastructure Division SUBMITTED BY ISSUE: Board of Director's authorization is required for the General Manager-Chief Engineer to execute professional services agreements in amounts greater than $50,000. BACKGROUND: At the February 20, 1992, Board Meeting, the Board authorized the execution of an agreement with James M. Montgomery (JMM) for the design of the Pleasant Hill Relief Interceptor project. Concurrently with the design, staff in conjunction with Associated Right of Way Services Inc. (ARWS) has been evaluating the right of way (R/W) needs of the project. A total of 60 parcels will be impacted by temporary and permanent easements. Approximately 408,000 square feet of temporary construction easements and 248,000 square feet of permanent sanitary sewer and reclaimed water pipeline easements are required for the project. The acquisition cost (including right of way service) for these easements is estimated at $1,300,000. The evaluation of the right of way needs was completed in Phase 1 of a two phase right of way acquisition program for the Pleasant Hill Relief Interceptor Project. Tasks included in Phase 1. were identification of the impacts of right of way acquisition on proposed routes, the design of the project, and identification and evaluation of significant right of way constraints. The budget for the Phase 1 tasks was $49,500. The work associated with these tasks took place over the past two years. In addition, some work was done to appraise and acquire easements over three properties near the intersection of Concord Avenue and Contra Costa Boulevard. The second phase of the right of way acquisition program needs to begin now and includes: . Appraisals of the rights of way needed for remaining parcels included in the project. . Acquisition of these rights of way. . Providing assistance prior to construction. . Evaluating and providing recommendations regarding right of way issues during construction.

FOR RIGHT OF WAY ACQUISITION SERVICES FOR THE PLEASANT HILL WET WEATHER RELIEF INTERCEPTOR PROJECT, DP 4879 1111i1JIIIIIIlg: PAGE DATE 2 OF 3 April 30, 1993 Staff proposes to continue to utilize ARWS to complete Phase 2 of the right of way program. This selection is based on ARWS's satisfactory performance during Phase 1 of the program. A cost reimbursement agreement has been negotiated with ARWS with a cost ceiling. of $153,000. A breakdown of the costs is provided in Attachment 1. Staff has obtained comparative costs for appraisal and acquisition work from the City of Walnut Creek, Contra Costa County Public Works, and East Bay Municipal Utility District. Appraisal and acquisition costs for these agencies vary from $3,500 per parcel to $6,500 per parcel. These costs do not include the purchase price of the rights of way. The costs for ARWS preparing appraisals and acquiring rights of way for this project are estimated to be $3,300 and $3,550 per parcel. The costs for ARWS's work are well within the costs which other public agencies have experienced. Appraisals for utility easements are more complex than standard residential loan appraisals in that they are legally mandated to determine just compensation based on highest and best use and must be able to stand up to a court test. Additionally, the appraisal/acquisition efforts need to consider costs associated with severance damage, relocation impacts, reestablishment, economic losses, and loss of goodwill. The Pleasant Hill Interceptor Project is described in the 1992-93 Capital Improvement Budget starting on page CS-15. No additional CEOA documentation is required since the EIR for the Interceptor Project provided for right of way acquisition. RECOMMENDATION: Authorize the General Manager-Chief Engineer to execute a cost reimbursement agreement with a cost ceiling of $153,000 with Associated Right of Way Services Inc. for right of way appraisal and acquisition services associated with the Pleasant Hill Relief Interceptor Project, D.P. 4879. 13028-7/91 ATTACHMENT 1 ASSOCIATED RIGHT OF WAY COSTS Consultation/Coord ination Appraisal Services Acquisition Services Total Cost of R/W Services Previously Authorized This Board Authorization , No costs for condemnation action has been included ID/lnfra/Positionl ARWS.

SUBJECT DATE April 30, 1993 APPROVE PERSONNEL BUDGET REQUESTS FOR FISCAL YEAR 1993 - 1994 TYPE OF ACTION APPROVE BUDGET SUBMITTED BY Cathryn Radin Freitas, Personnel Officer INITIATING DEPTIDIV. Ad m i n istrative/Person ne I ISSUE: Staff has analyzed its personnel needs for Fiscal Year 1993-1994 and is submitting its requests for final Board consideration and approval at the May 6, 1993, Board Meeting. BACKGROUND: Each department has reviewed its staffing requirements for Fiscal Year 1993- 1994. The Personnel Budget includes an executive summary of proposed modifications to each department, a departmental overview providing summary information, request justification pages with detailed explanations on the effect of these recommended staffing changes, organizational charts reflecting current staffing and proposed changes, and job classifications for proposed positions. The attached summary sheet highlights each department's staffing requests, their effect on the number of total authorized positions in the District, and the additional cost in salaries, benefits, and effect on the sewer service charge. As shown in the summary, the total number of authorized regular positions in the District will decrease by nine (9) from last year. Also, three fewer Co-op student positions are requested this year decreasing the number to seven (7) . Despite the decreased number of positions, the salaries and wages in the 1993-1994 0 & M Departmental Budgets will increase from the previous year due to the following: . Any cost-of-living salary adjustments resulting from the negotiated Memoranda of Understanding; . Merit and longevity increases scheduled in 1993-1994; . Positions authorized in 1992-1993 which were budgeted for a partial year because of the time required to fill positions. In order to cut the total number of District positions without layoffs, several recommendations in this budget require a change in working conditions for specified employees, as well as a suspension of the open and promotional recruitment rules in the current Memoranda of Understanding. Staff met and conferred with the affected bargaining units on these issues. INITIATING DEPTJDIV. RE~EWEDANDRECOMMENDEDFORBOARDAcnON w:f 1302A-7/91 CRF SUBJECT APPROVE PERSONNEL BUDGET REQUESTS FOR FISCAL YEAR 1 993 - 1 994 PAGE DATE 2 OF 6 April 30, 1993 Recognizing the District must cope with lowered revenues, the Union agreed to waive the open/promotional recruitment rule for the positions specified below; however, they prefer that each of the specified positions should be subject to filling by District-wide competition. Staff believes that to achieve our ends of avoiding any lay-offs and best utilizing our internal resources, competition should be limited to filling the Engineering Assistant in Training position from a testing process among the three Permit and Services Technicians and filling the Accountant position from among the Accounting Technicians and Accountant Trainee. The positions and individuals affected by the new internal only promotional rule include: 1 . Plant Operator I Leron Patton to Accountant Trainee 2. Receptionist Paulette Bruzzone to Staff Assistant I 3. Engineering Applications Technician \I Ruth Bennett to Risk Management Technician 4. Survey Party Chief Elizabeth Charlton to Land Surveyor 5. Engineering Assistant Jim Reutenik to Survey Party Chief 6. One Permit and Services Technidan to Engineering Assistant (in Training) 7. Maintenance Crew Member \I Anne McLaurin to Source Control Technician The Union realizes this budget was prepared under time constraints. Accordingly, in a spirit of cooperation, they have established a budget and finance committee for the purpose of proposing to management a number of ideas for cost-containment and revenue enhancement. Staff has reviewed their suggestions, of which some appear promising. In the coming months, the Union and management look forward to discussing a program for workers to transition out of obsolete or eliminated positions. Moreover, a work redesign effort is to begin soon. This effort is aimed at utilizing the knowledge of employees and supervisors to find more cost effective ways of doing District business. Further, as a result of meet and confer, staff recommends one change to the previously submitted budget. The Engineering Assistant position in Planning, which was to be transferred to Plant Engineering to replace the CAD Systems Analyst position, will remain in Planning. The individual who holds the position has devised and recommended an intensive work plan which has the potential of producing substantial revenues for the District. The CAD Systems Analyst position in Plant Engineering will still be deleted, however, and the Department will explore ways to meet its needs without increasing staffing. 1302B-7/91 SUBJECT APPROVE PERSONNEL BUDGET REQUESTS FOR FISCAL YEAR 1 993 - 1 994 PAGE DATE 3 OF 6 April 30, 1993 On Friday, March 26, 1993, the Personnel Committee reviewed the proposed budget.

SUBJECT REVIEW THE FINANCIAL STATUS AND BUDGET OF THE SELF-INSURANCE FUND AND APPROVE THE ALLOCATION OF $80,000 TO THE FUND FROM THE 1 993-1 994 O&M BUDGET 13. BUDGET AND FINANCE a DATE May 4, 1993 TYPE OF ACTION REVIEW SELF- INSURANCE FUND BUDGET FOR FISCAL YEAR 1993-94 SUBMITTED BY INITIATING DEPT.lDIV Bonnie Allen, Risk Manager Administrative/Risk Management ISSUE: The Self-Insurance Fund (SIF) is to be reviewed each year by the Board of Directors with the staff presenting re-funding recommendations for the up-coming fiscal year. BACKGROUND The 1993-1994 Fiscal Year will be the eighth year of operation for the self- insurance program, established in July 1986. In each of the first four years, $500,000 or more was transferred to the SIF from O&M funds to augment the interest income earned from the invested fund reserves. Beginning with Fiscal Year 1990-91 this funding was omitted because the interest income and favorable loss experience enabled the Fund reserves to grow sufficiently without a contribution from O&M funds. The attached exhibit presents a seven-year history and projection of the SIF and shows that the total reserves are projected at $5,840,766 for June 30, 1993. This total is $129,900 less than the total Fund reserves of $5,970,666 at the start of the 1992-1993 budget year, and $159,234 under the $6 million target set in 1986. The reasons for the shortfall were the lower interest earned on investments coupled with the higher than budgeted legal expenses on two major liability cases. Interest income on invested Fund reserves during Fiscal Year 1992-1993 is projected at $323,000 down from $391,536 for Fiscal Year 1991-1992. The 1992-1993 budgeted total expenses of $195,500 are projected at $452,900. Staff is not recommending the transfer of funds from the O&M Budget to offset this reduction in the projected Fund reserves. For the coming Fiscal Year, since interest income is expected to continue at lower rates, $300,000 in interest income is budgeted. Expenses have been budgeted at $320,000 for Fiscal year 1993-1994 as compared to $195,500 budgeted for Fiscal Year 1992-1993. The proposed budget increase of $124,500 anticipates that legal costs will continue at a level considerably higher than was expected during last year's budget planning. The legal expenses budgeted for 1993-1994 are less than the 1992-1993 projected legal expenses since the final disposition of a major liability case in the next two months is expected to reduce legal costs during 1993-1994. For the Fiscal year 1993-1994, Staff is recommending that $ 80,000 from O&M funds be allocated to the Self-Insurance Fund to directly offset some of the legal expenses budgeted for REVIEWED AND RECOMMENDED FOR BOARD ACTION AN INITIATING DEPT.lDIV. 1302A-9/85 BA PM SUBJECT REVIEW THE FINANCIAL STATUS AND BUDGET OF THE SELF-INSURANCE FUND AND APPROVE THE ALLOCATION OF $80,000 TO THE FUND FROM THE 1993-1994 O&M BUDGET ................................................................................... ...................................................................................

Additions or omissions of O&M funding to the SIF will be recommended in future years if warranted by changes in interest income and/or an adverse loss experience trend.

Central Contra Costa Sanitary District BOARD OF DIRECTORS PAGE 1 OF 16 POSITION PAPER BOARD MEE1\,INi\PS, 1993 NO. 13. BUDGET AND FINANCE b. SUBJECT APPROVE A BOARD RESOLUTION FORGIVING COLLECTION OF PAST UNBILLED SEWER SERVICE CHARGES FOR YEARS PRIOR TO FISCAL YEAR 1992-1993. DATE April 27, 1 993 TYPE OF ACTION BUDGET & FINANCE SUBMITTED BY Debbie Ratcliff, Controller INITIATING DEPT/DIV Administrative/Finance & Accounting ISSUE: District Staff has identified 760 residential parcels that are connected to the sewer system but have not paid Sewer Service Charges for Fiscal Year 1992-1993 and prior years. BACKGROUND: District staff from Finance and Accounting and the Permit Counter reviewed the District's Sewer Service Charge records and identified 760 residential parcels that are connected to the sewer system, but have not been billed on the tax rolls for their Sewer Service Charge. At the April 1, 1993 Board Meeting, staff recommended that the Sewer Service Charges for the fiscal years prior to 1992-93 be forgiven for the 740 parcels affected. At that time, the Board directed staff to prepare a draft resolution setting forth the public purpose to be served by the forgiving of collection. The draft resolution provides the following reasons for not collecting the past Sewer Service Charges: . providing an incentive for the immediate collection of current year's unbilled Sewer Service Charges, thereby accelerating and increasing the collection of revenues by the District, and . avoiding significant conflict with District residents who, without fault, inadvertently had not been carried on the tax rolls as sewer service customers, and . avoiding a substantial investment of District staff time and expense, as well as potential significant legal expenses, by foregoing the process of responding to property owners' resistance to paying past years unbilled Sewer Service Charges, and thereby foregoing potential litigation costs associated with said potential disputes. A copy of the Board resolution forgiving collection of unbilled Sewer Service Charges for years prior to Fiscal Year 1992-1993 is attached. Further, the Board directed that a letter to all affected ratepayers be drafted explaining the situation, informing them of the amount due to the District, as well as the amount of prior years charges being forgiven, and indicating the new charge that would appear on future property tax bills. Two draft letters are attached for review. RECOMMENDATION: Approve the Board Resolution forgiving collection of past unbilled Sewer Service Charges for years prior to Fiscal Year 1992-1993, and provide direction to staff on the draft letters to affected ratepayers. REVIEWED AND RECOMMENDED FOR BOARD ACTION INITIATING DEPT.lDIV. 1302A-9/85 RESOLUTION NO. RESOLUTION OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF THE CENTRAL CONTRA COSTA SANITARY DISTRICT FORGIVING COLLECTION OF UNBILLED PAST DUE SEWER SERVICE CHARGES WHEREAS, staff for the District has developed a new system which allows for improved tracking of Sewer Service Charge assessments and payments, which system has allowed the District to locate a number of parcels which are connected to the District sewage system and for which no sewer use charge has been assessed or collected over the last several years; and WHEREAS, further investigation by District staff has revealed that although these select parcels have not been previously assessed Sewer Service Charges, this missed assessment is due to no fault of the current parcel owner or user; and WHEREAS, the intent of the District in instituting this new program was to attempt to locate and verify the existence of all District users to ensure that all users connected to the system will, from this point forward, pay their fair share of all District Sewer Service Charges; and WHEREAS, it is lawful and appropriate to forgive, or refrain from undertaking collection processes, for unbilled past Sewer Service Charges if such a forgiveness or restraint from undertaking collection efforts serves a legitimate public purpose consistent with the objectives of the District; and WHEREAS, courts and the legislature have recognized that under certain circumstances a legitimate public purpose is served by creating a program which would waive collection of fees or penalties through an amnesty program, provided the program may improve compliance with laws or regulations or may increase the collection of currently owed taxes or fees; and WHEREAS, the District believes that a great investment of staff time, and potentially legal expense, may be required to proceed with attempting to collect past unassessed fees from this select group of blameless homeowners; NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF THE CENTRAL CONTRA COSTA SANITARY DISTRICT, that the Board will forgive collection of past unbilled Sewer Service Charges for years prior to Fiscal Year 1992-93 for the properties set forth on attached Exhibit n A n (provided the current parcel owners make prompt payment for the Sewer Service Charge for Fiscal Year 1992-1993). BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that this forgiveness or restraining from undertaking collection actions for unassessed past due service charges for the years prior to the Fiscal Year 1992-1993 serves the public purpose by: . providing an incentive for the immediate collection of current year's unbilled Sewer Service Charges, thereby accelerating and increasing the collection of revenues by the District, and . avoiding significant conflict with District residents who, without fault, inadvertently had not been carried on the tax rolls as sewer service customers, and . avoiding a substantial investment of District staff time and expense, as well as potential significant legal expenses, by foregoing the process of responding to property owners' resistance to paying past years unbilled Sewer Service Charges and thereby foregoing potential litigation costs associated with said potential disputes.

DOLAN General Manager Chief Engineer KENTON L. ALM Counsel for the District (510) 938-1430 JOYCE E. MURPHY Secretary of the District June 1, 1993 1- Dear 2-: INVOICE FOR FISCAL YEAR 1992-93 SEWER SERVICE CHARGE 3- The Central Contra Costa Sanitary District collects an annual Sewer Service Charge from property owners for all property that is connected to the District's sewer system. The Sewer Service Charge is a user fee for collecting and processing sewage and is normally collected on the annual county property tax bill. A review of our records has disclosed that a number of properties, including your property, were connected to the District's sewer system in fiscal year 1991-92, and at that time, the 1991-92 Sewer Service Charge was collected along with the connection and permit fees. However, the Sewer Service Charge for 1992-93 was not assessed and collected on the property tax bill. Accordingly, please remit payment of $165, along with the attached invoice, made payable to Central Contra Costa Sanitary District by June 30, 1993. Any 1992-93 Sewer Service Charge not paid by that date will be added to the 1 993-94 Sewer Service Charge together with a 10 percent processing fee and interest at a rate of 6.5 percent and will be collected on the 1 993-94 county property tax bill.

MURPHY Secretary of the District June 1, 1993 1- Dear 2-: INVOICE FOR FISCAL YEAR 1992-93 SEWER SERVICE CHARGE 3- The Central Contra Costa Sanitary District collects an annual Sewer Service Charge from property owners for all property that is connected to the District's sewer system. The Sewer Service Charge is a user fee for collecting and processing sewage and is normally collected on the annual county property tax bill. A review of our records has disclosed that a number of properties, including your property, have been connected to the District's sewer system for two or more years, however, the Sewer Service Charge has not been assessed through the tax bill. In instances such as this, under the law the District normally requires the collection of unassessed Sewer Service Charges for the current fiscal year and the three prior fiscal years which would amount to $576 for a full four years. However, recognizing that the circumstances which lead to the failure to bill these charges was not the fault of the ratepayers, the District's Board of Directors has agreed to forgive the assessment for the prior fiscal years and collect only the current 1992-93 Sewer Service Charge of $165. Accordingly, please remit payment of $165, along with the attached invoice, made payable to Central Contra Costa Sanitary District by June 30, 1993. Any 1992-93 Sewer Service Charge not paid by that date will be added to the 1 993-94 Sewer Service Charge together with a 10 percent processing fee and interest at a rate of 6.5 percent and will be collected on the 1993-94 county property tax bill. In the future your property tax bill will show a new line indicating "CCCSD SEWER SVC CHRG" or words to that effect. The assessment, which will appear in October, 1993, will be for fiscal year 1993-1994. We sincerely regret any inconvenience which may be caused by this matter. However, I am sure you understand that it would be unfair to other ratepayers in the District if unassessed Sewer Service Charges were not collected as it would result in higher sewer rates for everyone. @ Recycled Paper HOB 4- Page 2 May 4, 1 993 If you have any questions, or wish to obtain additional information, please contact Steven Elsberry at 689-3890, extension 110, between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m. Sincerely, Debbie Ratcliff Controller DR:dk AD S/Elsberry IEscAssmt.

SUBJECT DATE TYPE OF ACTION APPROVE THE 1 993-1994 EQUIPMENT BUDGET FOR INCLUSION IN THE 1993-1994 DISTRICT BUDGET APPROVE EOUlPIVIENT BUDGET SUBMITTED BY INITIATING DEPT./DIV. Debbie Ratcliff, Controller Administrative/Finance & Accounting ISSUE: The District's 1993-1994 Equipment Budget is submitted for approval. BACKGROUND: The 1993-1994 Equipment Budget was submitted for review at the April 15, 1993 Board Meeting, and is scheduled for approval by the Board on May 6, 1993. The Board's Capital Projects Committee reviewed the 1 993-1 994 Equipment Budget with District management prior to the submission of the budget to the Board on April 15. The approved 1 993-1994 Equipment Budget will be scheduled for adoption with the 1993-1994 Personnel, Operations and Maintenance, Self Insurance Fund, and Capital Improvement Budgets on June 1 7, 1993. RECOMMENDATION: Approve the 1993-1994 Equipment Budget for inclusion in the 1993- 1994 District Budget to be adopted on June 17, 1993. REVIEWED AND RECOMMENDED FOR BOARD ACTION INITIATI,NG--l;>EPT./DIV. ~ PM Central Contra Costa Sanitary District April 27, 1993 TO: BOARD OF DIRECTORS FROM: JOHN B. CLAUSEN SUBJECT: RECOMMENDED ACTIONS ON EQUIPMENT BUDGET ITEMS Because of past reliance on real property taxes to fund capital expenditures (including equipment purchases), I believe this year we have to be very conservative in authorizing expenditures. As we all know, we lost over $2+ million in real property taxes last year. A real possibility exists that we will lose some, if not all, of the $6 + million remaining taxes. If so, we will have no tax revenue to replenish the capital reserve, even though we have currently committed to expending a substantial portion of it. As the size of the reserve decreases, the interest earnings also decrease. This is also reduced by the lower interest received on investments. I, therefore, recommend we take two very conservative actions. The first is to reduce the requested equipment budget authorized expenditures as shown in Column A on the attached chart. Column B expenditures could' be included in a supplemental budget to only be authorized if we retain the balance of our real property taxes. The second action is to decide that this year and in the future equipment expenditures will be funded from sewer service charges. If we did that, Column A would require about a $.46 increase in rates. Column B would require about a $2.38 increase in rates. With the tax revolt that we can expect this year we must keep our rate increase to the absolute minimum that can be fully justified. Column A contains only equipment required for safety. Column B contains equipment required for increased productivity, replacement of older equipment, and nice-to-have items. JBC/jl cc: R. Dolan SD\CORRESP\CLAUSEN2.
