ISSUE: On May 9, 1991, sealed proposals were received and opened for the purchase of filter
media for District Project 20095, Filter Plant Rehabilitation. The Board of Directors must
authorize award of the purchase order or reject bids within 50 days of the opening of bids.
BACKGROUND: The District's Filter Plant was constructed in 1974. During plant operation
since then, a significant amount of filter media has been lost. It is anticipated that anywhere
from 1.5 to 8.0 million gallons per day of reclaimed water may be needed during this coming
summer. A major portion of the reclaimed water will be used by local industries. The amount
of reclaimed water required by local industries is currently being negotiated and is highly
dependent upon whether the District nitrifies its effluent and removes phosphorus. To produce
the required amount of reclaimed water, the lost filter media in the District's filters needs to
be replaced. Delivery time for the filter media may take up to 12 weeks; therefore, to meet
the reclaimed water demands expected by August 1991, the filter media needs to be
purchased at this time.
The Bid Request was publicly advertised for bids on April 29 and May 2, 1 991. Three bids
ranging from $72,150.50 to $88,695.08 were received on May 9, 1991. A bid tabulation is
presented in Attachment 1. The engineers prebid estimate was $78,000. The total project
cost of the Filter Plant Rehabilitation Project is estimated to be $1,500,000. The Filter
Rehabilitation Project, DP 20095, is included in the 1990-91 Capital Improvement Budget
beginning at Page TP-91 .
The Engineering and Purchasing staff conducted a technical and commercial evaluation of the
bids and concluded that the lowest responsible bidder is Anthracite Filter Media Company with
a bid price of $72,150.50.
This project has been evaluated by staff and has been determined to be exempt from the
California Environmental Quality Act (CEOA) under District CEOA Guidelines Section 18.2
since it involves the maintenance of an existing public facility with negligible or no expansion
of capacity. Board of Directors' approval of this project will constitute agreement with this
determination unless otherwise indicated.
RECOMMENDATION: Authorize award of purchase order to Anthracite Filter Media Company,
the lowest responsible bidder, in the amount of $72,150.50 for furnishing the fi er media.

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 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 a nd are, therefore, not "proceeds of taxes."
. Fund balances carried over into fiscal year 1980-1981 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 recently amended by Proposition 111, and 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 is not available for use for the 1990-1991 fiscal year and,
therefore, the per capita personal income factor has been used.
. 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 subsequent fiscal years.

. 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 District appropriations limit for 1990-1991 is computed on Attachment A; the calculation
of the limit was reviewed, and concurred with, by the District's independent auditors,
Johnston, Gremaux & Rossi, on April 29, 1991.
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 June 13, 1991, at which the appropriations limit for the Sewer
Construction Fund for the fiscal year 1990-1991 will be established.

ISSUE: Approval by the Board of Directors is required for unbudgeted travel outside of California
and/or where the expense will exceed $500.
BACKGROUND: Bonnie Allen, Risk Manager, is a member of the Executive Committee of the
National Safety Council. Recognized safety and health professionals are selected for membership
on this national committee which includes Risk Managers, Safety Directors and Managers of both
private corporations and of public agencies and utilities.
The committee meets three times each year for training, project workshops, and professional
development. Sessions include reviewing any new or proposed legislative changes to safety and
environmental health laws; sharing innovative approaches to train and motivate employees; and
evaluating new and effective training materials, including films/videos, manuals, and procedures.
Various committee members may be requested to make a presentation in a particular area of
expertise; Bonnie has been asked to present the Cal/OSHA Hazard Communication Standard
with a comparison to the current Federal Standard.
These topics are all relevant to the District's risk management and safety programs, and the
resources afforded through interaction with committee members are an added benefit to the
District.
There are funds available for this safety meeting in the 1990-91 budget for Risk Management
and Safety in the Technical Training and Conference Account because of the departure of the
Safety and Loss Control Specialist earlier in the year. The cost is estimated to total $970 and
includes registration, hotel, air fare, and meals.
RECOMMENDATION: Authorize the attendance of Bonnie Allen, Risk Manager, at the National
Safety Council Executive Committee-Public Utilities Section June 17-21, 1991, meeting in
Breckenridge, Colorado, at a cost of $970.

Engineering Department/Construction Div.
ISSUE: All work has been completed on the LID 57 Midhill Sewer Construction Project,
DP 4650, and this project can now be closed out. The Board must adopt a resolution to
approve the final cost schedule which includes a modification of the District's original
contribution towards the LID.
BACKGROUND: Seven property owners in the Brown Avenue area of Lafayette petitioned
the District to form a LID for the purpose of financing and constructing a public sewer
system which would benefit their properties. The sewer project consisted of installing
2, 1 26 lineal feet of 8-inch sanitary sewer main and other appurtenant structures (see
Exhibit A). This project is described in more detail on page CS-51 in the FY 1 990-91
Capital Improvement Budget.
The contractor, D' Arcy and Harty Construction, Inc., of San Francisco, commenced work
on September 20, 1990, and completed the work on November 29, 1990. The contract
completion date was December 10, 1990. The project was accepted by the Board on
December 20, 1990, and a Notice of Completion was recorded at the Contra Costa
County Recorder's Office on December 21, 1990.
D' Arcy and Harty's original construction contract was for $187,340. There were four
change orders issued on the project totaling a credit of $3,530. The total contract
amount paid to D'Arcy and Harty was $183,810.
During the formation of the assessment District and the adoption of the property
assessments, the District agreed to contribute $30,000 from the sewer construction fund
so that the assessment for each property could be reduced. The project went very
smoothly and cost savings of $ 29,712 resulted. Consequently, it is only necessary for
the District to contribute $288 (see Exhibit B) in order for the LID assessments to be
maintained at the agreed upon reduced level. The original agreement provided that
Central Contra Costa Sanitary District would receive the initial payments of rebates from
non-LID participants when their connections were made until the District's contribution
was recovered. This will no longer be necessary, and all future rebate payments (if any)
will be applied directly to reduce each participant's LID assessment, thus reducing the LID
participants future payments.

DENY CLAIMS
SUBMITTED BY
Jack E. Campbell
INITIATING DEPT./DIV.
ISSUE: Two personal injury claims have been received from Beth Maples, a current employee,
and Jim Maples, a former employee. Claim denials require action by the Board of Directors.
BACKGROUND: Beth Maples, Engineering Technician I in the Engineering Division, is alleging
that in October of 1990, a District employee(s) made slanderous statements concerning her, and
that $200,000 in damages have been incurred. The total claim is for $300,000.
Jim Maples, a former Utility Worker in the Plant Operations Department, has filed a separate
claim alleging that slanderous statements were made concerning him by District employees in
October of 1990. He alleges that $200,000 in damages have been incurred and is also claiming
a total of $300,000.
Upon District review these two claims have been found to be without merit, and the staff
recommends that they both be denied.
RECOMMENDATION: Deny the personal injury claim for $300,000 from Beth Maples; deny the
personal injury claim for $300,000 from Jim Maples. Refer the claims to staff for further action
as needed.

AUTHORIZE THE RECLASSIFICATION OF CERTAIN REVENUE
ACCOUNTS FROM THE OPERATIONS AND MAINTENANCE FUND
TO THE CAPITAL FUND EFFECTIVE IN THE 1 991-1 992
FISCAL YEAR

ISSUE: Board authorization is requested to reclassify certain revenue accounts from the
Operations and Maintenance (O&M) Fund to the Capital Fund effective in the 1991-1992 fiscal
year.
BACKGROUND: The following revenue accounts are recommended to be reclassified from the
O&M Fund to the Capital Fund effective July 1, 1991; the 1990-1991 projected revenues are
shown to indicate the latest annual revenues for each account, as the 1991-1992 budgeted
revenues have not been developed at this date:
Main Lines Inspection - Inspection fees to inspect developer installed main lines;
1990-1991 projected revenues: $73,000
Plan Review - Fees to review sewer design in development plans; 1990-1991 projected
revenues: $50,000
District Rebates - Revenues to the District from connection fees which exceed the
maximum cost reimbursement to the installer of a sewer line; 1990-1991 projected
revenues: $75,000
As required by a change in accounting standards, developer-installed sewer lines were capitalized
in the District's financial statements beginning in the 1980-1981 fiscal year, and annually
thereafter. As Main Lines Inspection Fees and Plan Review Fees are directly related to developer
installed sewer lines which are ultimately capitalized, it is considered appropriate to reclassify
these accounts to the Capital Fund.
Under the District's rebate program, the cost of a sewer line incurred by an original installer is
reimbursed as connection fees are collected from subsequent connectors to the sewer line; any
connection fees collected in excess of the reimbursed cost to the installer is rebated to the
District in the District Rebate account. As the rebates to the District are akin to connection fees,
it is considered appropriate to reclassify this account to the Capital Fund.
District labor charges to perform main lines inspection and plan reviews will be recorded as
capital charges during the fiscal year, and will be added to the capitalized value of developer-
installed sewer lines beginning July 1, 1991.
RECOMMENDATION: Authorize reclassifying the Main Lines Inspection, Plan Review and District
Rebates accounts between funds effective July 1, 1991.
