Dennis Hall, Associate Engineer
Engineering Deptllnfrastructure Division
ISSUE: AAAAA RENT-A-SPACE-MORAGA, LTD. has requested the District to quitclaim the
subject easements.
BACKGROUND: The subject easements were granted to this District in 1981 and 1982, at
no cost to the District. The easements are located on the AAAAA RENT-A-SPACE property
which was unimproved at that time. The sewer main which was located within the subject
easement has been abandoned. It has been replaced by a new sewer main and easement
which will permit the property owners to make better use of their property. The subject
easements are no longer needed and may now be quitclaimed. The District's quitclaim
processing fee has been paid.
This project has been evaluated by staff and determined to be exempt from the California
Environmental Quality Act (CECA) under District CEQA Guidelines Section 18.6, since it
involves a minor alteration in land use limitations.
RECOMMENDATION: Approve Quitclaim Deed to AAAAA RENT-A-SPACE MORAGA, LTD.
Job Nos. 1933 and 3807, authorize the President of the District Board of Directors and the
Secretary of the District to execute said Quitclaim Deed, and authorize the Quitclaim Deed
to be recorded.

Debbie Ratcliff, Controller
Administrative/Finance and 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: Proposition 4 was approved on November 6, 1979, and was incorporated in
the California Constitution as Article XIII B. Article XIII B, as implemented by Senate Bill 1352,
limits appropriations of state and local governments to the appropriations of the 1978-1979 base
year adjusted in each subsequent year for changes in the Consumer Price Index or California per
capita personal income, whichever is lower, and the change in population.
SB 1352 requires government agencies to establish their appropriations limit by resolution each
year at a regularly scheduled meeting. Notice to the public of the availability of documentation
in support of the appropriations limit must be given fifteen days prior to adoption. The
appropriations limit is open to challenge within 45 days of the effective date of the resolution.
The following key considerations have been used in applying the provisions of Article XIII B:
. The District accounts for its activities in four separate funds: Running Expense Fund
(General Fund); Sewer Construction Fund (Capital Fund); Self-Insurance Fund; and Debt
Service Fund.
The Running Expense Fund and Self-Insurance Fund are considered to be enterprise funds
and are not subject to limitation under Proposition 4. Enterprise funds are generally used
to account for operations that are financed and operated in a manner similar to private
business enterprises where it is intended that costs of providing goods or services to the
public on a continuing basis be financed or recovered primarily through user charges.
Bond proceeds used for debt service are not subject to the appropriations limit.
The District's appropriations limit is required to be established for the Sewer Construction
Fund. The appropriations limit is determined for yearly appropriations into the Sewer
Construction Fund.

. Article XIII B defines "proceeds of taxes" as including, but not restricted to, all tax
revenues, income from investment of tax proceeds, and the proceeds of regulatory
licenses, user charges and fees to the extent that such proceeds exceed the reasonable
cost of providing the regulation, product or service. "Proceeds of taxes" also include
state subventions, other than those for mandated programs for which the state
reimburses the local agency. SB 1352 further defines state subventions to include only
money received by a local agency from the state, the use of which is unrestricted by the
statute providing the subvention. Grant funds received from the state for capital projects
are restricted to specific uses and are, therefore, not "proceeds of taxes."
. Fund balances carried over into fiscal year 1 980-1 981 are generally subject to limitation
unless they were appropriated into a reserve account prior to July 1, 1980; however, as
the Sewer Construction Fund is a single purpose fund, the fund balance at June 30, 1981
has been construed as having been appropriated into reserves and, therefore, not subject
to limitation.
Article XIII B was amended in 1990 by Proposition 111, which resulted in the following changes:
. 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 is lower. As amended, the Consumer
Price Index is replaced by the change in the local assessment roll 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. The 1990-1991 appropriations limit shall be the 1986-1987
appropriations limit adjusted from that year forward by the new growth factors stated in
the proposition. The change in the local assessment roll, which is intended to be
obtainable from the County Assessor was not available for use for the 1990-1991 fiscal
year and, therefore, the per capita personal income factor was used. The County
Assessor has since provided the change in the local assessment roll for the 1991-1992
through the 1993-1994 fiscal years, but advised that the change in assessment roll for
the prior fiscal years 1987-1988 through 1990-1991 will not be available.
The change in the local assessment roll for the. 1994-1995 fiscal year has been reported
by the County Assessor to be 15.6 percent. The California per capita personal income
percentage change is 0.71. The change in the local assessment roll is being used in the
calculation of the 1994-1995 appropriations limit, as shown on Attachment I.
. Revenues received in a fiscal year and the fiscal year immediately following it in excess
of the appropriations limit during that fiscal year and the fiscal year immediately following
it, shall be returned by a revision of tax rates or fee schedules within the next two
subse uent fiscal ears.

. In the event an emergency is declared by the Board, the appropriations limit may
be exceeded provided that the appropriations limits in the following three years are
reduced accordingly to prevent an aggregate increase in appropriations resulting
from the emergency.
. The annual calculation of the appropriations limit for each entity of local
government shall be reviewed as part of an annual financial audit.
The appropriations limit for 1993-1994 will be reviewed by the District's independent auditors,
Maze and Associates, during the regularly scheduled annual audit.
RECOMMENDATION: Authorize a public notice advising that documentation used in the
determination of the appropriations limit shall be available fifteen days prior to the Board Meeting
to be held on September 15, 1994, at which the appropriations limit for the Sewer Construction
Fund for the fiscal year 1994-1995 will be established.

Lynne B. Putnam, Senior Engineer
Planning Division, Engineering Department
ISSUE: Staffs from the District and Contra Costa Water District (CCWD)) have negotiated a
General Agreement for Recycled Water. The Board has indicated that a joint Board meeting to
approve this agreement would be appropriate. Board approval of the General Agreement is
required.
BACKGROUND: The Board approved the Principles of Agreement for Recycled Water
Development on May 19, 1994, which the CCWD Board had approved on April 27, 1994. The
intent of the Principles of Agreement was to provide a framework for a General Agreement
between the two districts. The draft General Agreement supersedes and terminates, in its
entirety, the water supply contract dated April 27, 1972, and amended September 15, 1976,
and August 16, 1979, which had been subject to a lawsuit filed by CCWD. The lawsuit was
dropped in June 1993.
The purpose of the General Agreement is to describe a mutually beneficial business relationship
between the two districts wherein specific recycled water projects may be pursued jointly or
individually subject to subsequent project specific agreements. The draft General Agreement
specifies a process to implement future recycled water projects as well as addresses ownership
and operations issues of the existing recycled water facilities. Staffs from the District and
CCWD have consistently based the General Agreement on the Principles approved by our
respective Boards in the Principles of Agreement. A copy of the draft General Agreement and
a staff summary have been attached for your review.
September 7, 1 994, has been proposed by CCWD as a date for a joint Board meeting with the
CCWD Board of Directors.
RECOMMENDATIONS: Set a date for a joint Board meeting with the CCWD Board to approve
the General Agreement for Recycled Water. Provide staff with input concerning the draft
General Agreement.

STAFF SUMMARY
INTRODUCTION
The District is currently developing a General Agreement for Recycled Water (General
Agreement) with Contra Costa Water District (CCWD). This agreement defines the
business relationship between the two districts, and resolves existing issues associated
with the 1972 agreement. The General Agreement also provides the basis for separate
agreements between the districts as required for specific recycled water projects. The
General Agreement is developed based on Principles of Agreement approved by the
District Board on May 19, 1994, and the CCWD Board on April 27, 1994.
DISCUSSION
The following sections briefly describe the major highlights of various provisions included
in the draft General Agreement:
Introduction to the General Agreement:
The Introduction to the General Agreement recites operative wording from the preamble
of the Principles of Agreement. The General Agreement is being made in order to resolve
past disputes, terminate past agreements, and to replace such agreements with a general
agreement for the purveyorship of recycled water within CCWD's service area. This
General Agreement provides the basis for future project specific agreements.
Recitals:
The recitals contain Section A.1 through A.6 of the Principles of Agreement.
Section 1 - General Purpose and Intent:
This section specifies the provisions included in Sections A, Band C of the Principles of
Agreement.
Section 2 - Definitions:
This section defines the various terms used in the agreement.
These definitions were not addressed in the Principles of Agreement.
1
Section 3 - Term:
The agreement continues indefinitely or until terminated by mutual agreement (Section
16).
This provision was not addressed in the Principles of Agreement.
Section 4 - Resolution of Past Disputes:
This section refers to the resolution of litigation related to claimed breach of 1972
agreement, and a disagreement over water charges. The cases were dismissed on June
30, 1993. These provisions were included in Section B of the Principles of Agreement.
Section 5 - Past Costs:
Neither district will seek compensation from the other for past costs related to recycled
water. Both districts may recover capital costs invested since January 1, 1992, through
the sale of recycled water. These provisions were included in Section D of the Principles
of Agreement.
Section 6 - Replacement of Prior Contract:
This section defines the termination of the 1972 agreement and addresses ownership,
operation and maintenance responsibilities of existing facilities, requires modification of
the power supply agreement with PG&E, and maintains CCWD's right to discharge brine
into District's outfall.
The following describes the major provisions also included in Sections C.1 and C.2 of the
Principles of Agreement:
. The District would own and operate the clear well effluent pumps and 42-inch
pipeline. The 1972 agreement provided that these facilities would be operated and
maintained by CCWD, and that they would be conveyed to CCWD in perpetuity on
June 30, 2006. The District must meet with CCWD regarding any action that
might modify or otherwise limit the availability of those facilities to CCWD for
future uses of the NaX Plant.
. Ownership of the temporary tank fill facility constructed by CCWD in 1991 is
conveyed to the District.
. CCWD retains ownership and operation of the NaX Plant facility on District
property at no cost.
. Should neither district demonstrate the feasibility of operating the NaX Plant within
five years of the effective date of the General Agreement, CCWD shall prepare a
plan and schedule for the ultimate use or disposal of the facility. No requirement
2
is made as to the date of ultimate use or disposal. If the NaX Plant becomes a
safety hazard while on District property, CCWD will rectify the hazard.
Section 7 - Development of Future Projects
This section was included in Section 4 of the Principles of Agreement and defines the
requirements related to future projects. Recycled water projects may be developed
jointly, or by either district. The project sponsor is required to complete a business plan
as outlined in Exhibit D. Should the districts agree to pursue a joint project, a project
specific agreement, including cost sharing provisions will be negotiated.
If the District proposes a project, and CCWD declines to participate, a project specific
agreement defining purveyorship between the districts will be executed. Signed requests
for recycled water service will include limitations of recycled water service, applicable
laws and regulations, relative services to be provided by CCWD and the District, and the
process to be followed and costs to be incurred in case the customer wishes to resume
CCWD service. The agreement acknowledges that CCWD's procedures may change in
the future. A copy of CCWD's current procedures are to be provided within 30 days of
execution of the General Agreement. The District would be responsible for all costs
related to the project.
In the event CCWD proposes a project and the District declines, the District is required
to furnish available treated wastewater effluent, meeting its NPDES permit requirements,
at no cost to CCWD. Factors affecting the availability of effluent are acknowledged in
the Agreement.
The following sections 8-17 were not addressed in the Principles of Agreement.
Section 8 - Water Quality Representation:
This Section refers to the District's effluent water quality. Should the District violate its
NPDES permit requirements, such violation would not constitute a breach of the General
Agreement.
Section 9 - Responsibility for Compliance with Law:
This section refers to compliance with applicable laws. Each district is responsible for its
own actions. Each district is required to notify the other of any suspected violations of
law with respect to actions under the General Agreement.
Section 10 - Effect of Agreement
This section states this General Agreement supersedes all prior agreements between the
two districts pertaining to recycled water. A provision also has been made as to the
mechanism for updating the current arrangement for providing recycled water service to
the County Corporation Yard, Seasons A. Cemetery, and Wood Farms.
3
Section 11 - Successors and Assigns:
This section refers to the assignment or delegation of any right or obligation. Any
assignment requires written consent of the other district.
Section 12 - Notices:
This refers to the procedures for the formal notices and communications.
Section 13 - Indemnification:
This section refers to the two districts indemnifying one another, and contains a provision
for shared liability under the General Agreement.
Section 14 - Insurance:
This section contains the provisions for each district to include the other as additional
insured under its general liability or self-insured program. Legal counsel is considering the
provision where the District provides coverage for CCWD.
Section 15 - Dispute Resolution:
This section contains a procedure defining binding arbitration to be followed in case of
dispute related to this General Agreement. The process of using Judicial Arbitration and
Mediation (JAMS) is being considered by both district's legal counsel.
Section 16 - Termination:
The General Agreement may only be terminated by mutual written consent.
Section 17 - Survival:
This section defines which provisions of the agreement survive upon termination of the
General Agreement, including those on the right to purvey water, replacement of prior
contracts, resolution of disputes and disposition of past costs. The right to purvey is
qualified by acknowledging changes in law.

GENERAL AGREEl\1ENT
FOR
RECYCLED WATER
BETWEEN
CENTRAL CONTRA COSTA SANITARY DISTRICT
AND
CONTRA COSTA WATER DISTRICT
This General Agreement for Recycled Water (General Agreement) is made on , 1994,
(the "Effective Date") between Central Contra Costa Sanitary District (CCCSD), a local public
entity organized under the Sanitary District Act of 1923, and Contra Costa Water District (CCWD),
a local public entity organized under the County Water District Law, in order to resolve past
disputes, terminate past agreements, and to replace such agreements with this General Agreement
for the purveyorship of recycled water within the CCWD service area. This General Agreement is
modeled upon Principles of Agreement for Recycled Water Development, approved by CCCSD
and CCWD, on May 19, 1994 and April 27, 1994 respectively, and provides the basis for project
specific agreements between the districts as required for specific recycled water projects.
RECITALS,
a. Whereas, both districts believe prudent water management in California requires effective
water conservation and reuse to meet diverse water needs;
b. Whereas, both districts believe that it is sound public policy to develop recycled water

ISSUE: Authorization by the Board of Directors is required for the General Manager-Chief
Engineer to execute professional service agreements in amounts greater than $50,000.
BACKGROUND: Final effluent from the District's wastewater treatment plant is discharged to
Suisun Bay through an outfall pipeline that was constructed in 1958. Up to about 60 mgd can
be discharged through the outfall without pumping, but during wet weather, flows up to the
current peak capacity of 90 mgd must be pumped.
The existing effluent pumping system, constructed as a part of the original secondary plant in
the late 1970's, consists of two 75-mgd primary effluent pumps and two 75-mgd standby
pumps that can serve as either final effluent pumps or additional primary effluent pumps. Due
to the pumping capacity, all four are required to pump 90 mgd.
Improvements included in the Outfall Improvements Project are as follows:
. installation of a new final effluent pump, a variable-frequency drive (VFD), a motor,
and instrumentation controls
. installation of a new primary effluent pump, VFD, a motor, and instrumentation
controls
. construction of a new standpipe to relieve potentially damaging surge pressures in the
outfall pipeline
The new pumps, which will be more energy efficient (and, therefore, have lower operating
costs), will become the regular use pumps. The existing pumps will be retained for use during
very high flows and as backup to the new pumps.
It is proposed that the design of the outfall improvements be a combined effort of District staff,
GSDA, and Montgomery Watson. The design of large pumps, motors, and VFDs requires
specialized experience and expertise. GSDA can provide the required civil and mechanical design
expertise, and Montgomery Watson can supply the specialized electrical and instrumentation

skills. District staff will design the surge control facilities; manage the project, coordinate the
efforts of all design team members; and prepare all construction cost estimates, constructibility
analyses, and construction schedules.
GSDA prepared the facilities plan for this project, has performed well on previous District
projects, is familiar with the District's treatment plant, and has substantial experience designing
similar facilities. A professional services agreement in the amount of $124,000 has been
negotiated with GSDA.
Proposals were solicited from both Montgomery Watson and Norberg Engineering for the
electrical and instrumentation portion of the work. The proposals submitted by both firms were
essentially equal in price, showed good understanding of the project, and met the District's other
requirements. Due to Montgomery Watson's prior performance, the commitment of the same
individuals who did the electrical and instrumentation work on the Headworks Facilities
Improvement Project, and familiarity with plant facilities and District requirements, Montgomery
Watson was selected for this project. A professional services agreement in the amount of
$115,500 has been negotiated with Montgomery Watson.
The Outfall Improvements Project is included in the FY 1994-95 Capital Improvement Budget
(CIS) on pages TP-21 to TP-23. The estimated total project cost is $3,294,000.
The design phase is scheduled to last through June 1995. Construction is anticipated to, begin
in August 1995 and would last approximately one year.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
1. Authorize the General Manager-Chief Engineer to execute a professional services agreement
with a cost ceiling of $124,000 with G.S. Dodson and Associates, Inc. for civil and
mechanical design assistance on the Outfall Improvements Project, DP 7134.
2. Authorize the General Manager-Chief Engineer to execute a professional services agreement
with a cost ceiling of $115,500 with Montgomery Watson for electrical and instrumentation
design assistance on the Outfall Improvements Project, DP 7134.

ISSUE: The Board's Budget and Finance Committee has interviewed prospective financial advisors
for the District's 1994-95 Capital Improvements Financing Program. It is appropriate for the full
Board to approve the engagement of a financial advisor and authorize the General Manager-Chief
Engineer to execute an agreement for the financial advisor's services..
BACKGROUND: The District has maintained a "pay-as-you-go" approach to financing the Capital
Improvement Program for many years. However, each update of the Capital Improvement Plan
since 1991 has identified the need for debt financing of a portion of the current program. The
need for debt financing arises from the necessity for the District to pursue several large projects,
primarily to address wet-weather flow, early in the 10-year planning period. Several years of
capital expenditures in excess of capital revenues are needed to complete these projects, and
reserves are not adequate to fully fund the deficit.
Since the District has not participated in the public financing market for many years, it has been
proposed that a financial advisor be engaged to provide expertise to the staff and Board of
Directors during the debt issuance process. The financial advisor will provide the following
services:
. Evaluation of financing and debt structuring alternatives.
. Preparation of a financing plan based on the 1994 Capital Improvement Plan.
. Coordination of preparation and production of the Official Statement, Official Notice of
Sale, and Bid Form.
. Coordination of presentations to rating and bond insurance agencies.
. Assist in controlling issuance costs.
A formal selection process including a request for written proposals, staff screening of proposals
received, and interview of finalists by the Board's Budget and Finance Committee (on August 15,
1994) was conducted. The committee recommends that the firm of Stone and Youngberg be
engaged as financial advisor for the 1994-95 Capital Improvements Financing Program based on
the experience and expertise of the firm and the team proposed, their commitment to the project
scope and schedule, excellent references, and reasonable cost. A summary of the proposal is
presented in Attachment 1. The cost for the financial advisor's service would not exceed
$45,000.
