Walter Funasaki, Finance Officer
Administrative/Finance & Accounting
ISSUE: A Board Resolution to confirm the authorization to deposit District funds available for
investment with the County Treasurer, who is deemed to hold such funds in trust on behalf
of the District, is proposed for adoption.
BACKGROUND: Temporary funds of the District are invested in short-term government
securities and the state's Local Agency Investment Fund (LAIF) through the County Treasurer's
Office. The government securities are held in the District's name by the custodian bank,
Security Pacific National Bank; the investments in the LAIF are carried on the records of the
State Treasurer in the District's name.
The District sought to execute an agreement which committed the long-standing relationship
with the County Treasurer's Office to writing, and which clearly defined the invested funds
as being held in trust. The County was unwilling to execute the agreement submitted to it.
The enactment of Government Code Section 27100.1 made the agreement with the County
unnecessary. This law, enacted in 1991, expressly states that whenever deposits are made
in the County Treasury, the funds shall be deemed to be held in trust by the County Treasurer
on behalf of the depositing entity or public official; additionally, that the funds shall not be
deemed funds or assets of the County, and that the relationship of the depositing agency or
public official and the County shall not be one of creditor-debtor.
As a result of staff's review of these matters, it was discovered that the applicable law
provides that a local agency should adopt a resolution authorizing their financial officer to
deposit temporary surplus funds with the County Treasurer. Since the District's practice in
depositing such funds with the County Treasurer is longstanding and predates the applicable
statute, it is not clear that the District has formally adopted such a resolution. Therefore, it
is considered appropriate to adopt a resolution to confirm authorization for the deposit of
temporary funds with the County Treasurer and to affirm the trust relationship regarding the
invested funds.
RECOMMENDATION: Adopt the attached Resolution No. 92-017 to confirm the authorization
to deposit District investment funds with the County Treasurer and to affirm that the funds
are held in trust on behalf of the District.

RESOLUTION NO. 92-Jli7
A RESOLUTION TO CONFIRM AUTHORIZATION OF DEPOSIT OF
DISTRICT INVESTMENT FUNDS WITH THE COUNTY TREASURER AND
TO CONFIRM TRUST RELATIONSHIP
WHEREAS,
the Central Contra Costa
Sanitary District
(hereinafter "District") has historically chosen to invest funds of
the District, which it determines are not required for immediate
use, by depositing same with the Contra Costa County Treasurer for
the purpose of investment by the County Treasurer pursuant to
Sections 53601 and 53635 of the Government Code; and
WHEREAS, the District presently intends to continue in the
practice of depositing funds that are not required for immediate
use with the County Treasurer for the purpose of investment by the
County Treasurer on behalf of the District; and
WHEREAS, recently enacted Government Code section 27100.1
(Chapter 471 of the Statutes of 1991) has statutorily confirmed the
District's understanding that the funds deposited with the County
Treasurer on behalf of the District are deemed to be held in trust
by the County Treasurer on behalf of the District;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that, pursuant to Government
Code section 53684, the Treasurer or other financial officer for
the District is authorized to deposit with the County Treasurer the
excess funds which are not required for immediate use of the
District, provided the County Treasurer continues to consent
thereto, for the purpose of investment by the County Treasurer
pursuant to Government Code Sections 53601 and 53635.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the District has at all times
deemed any funds deposited with the County Treasurer for the
purpose of investment by the County Treasurer to be held in trust
by the County Treasurer on behalf of the District; and that,
pursuant to Government Code section 27100.1, the District deems all
funds deposited with the County Treasurer, including all funds now
on deposit with the County Treasurer, to be funds deemed to be held
in trust by the County Treasurer on behalf of the District. All
such funds deposited with the County Treasurer shall not be deemed
funds or assets of the County, and the relationship of the District
and the County shall not be one of creditor/debtor, notwithstanding
in whose name the funds are held or whether such funds are
commingled with funds from other depositing agencies or are
otherwise pooled for the purposes of investment.

ADVISE THE BOARD OF THE CLOSE OUT OF LOCAL
IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT 58 (LID 58), CAMINO AMIGO
SEWER PROJECT, DANVILLE (DP 4800) AND ADOPT A
RESOLUTION DECLARING A SURPLUS IN THE
IMPROVEMENT FUND
DATE

TYPE OF ACTION
ADOPT RESOLUTION
SUBMITTED BY
Dennis Hall, Associate Engineer
INITIATING DEPT./DIV.
Engineering Department/Infrastructure Div.
ISSUE: All work has been completed on the LID 58 Camino Amigo Sewer Construction Project,
DP 4800, and this project can now be closed out. The Board must adopt a resolution declaring
a surplus in the improvement fund so that surplus monies can be returned to the LID participants.
BACKGROUND: A group of 26 property owners in the project area (see Exhibit A) petitioned the
District to form a LID for the purpose of financing and constructing a public sewer system which
will benefit their properties. The sewer project consisted of installing a new 8-inch sewer main
which serves the proponents' 26 existing properties with the potential to provide sewer
connections to 5 other properties also located within the LID boundary. This project is described
in more detail on page CS-41 in the FY 91-92 Capital Improvement Budget.
The contractor, Joe Foster Excavating, Inc., of Livermore, commenced work on
August 1 2, 1 991, and completed the work prior to the contract completion date of October 21 ,
1991. The project was accepted by the Board on October 7, 1991, and a Notice of Completion
was recorded at the Contra Costa County Recorder's Office on October 31, 1991.
Joe Foster's original construction contract was for $146,920. There was one change order
issued on the project totaling a charge of $2,605. The total contract amount paid to Joe Foster
Excavating was $149,525.
Exhibit "B" shows all the revenues and expenditures associated with the improvement fund for
the assessment district project. Surplus funds from the improvement fund account in the
amount of $12,747 were realized because of savings in the construction phase of the project.
The excess funds can now be distributed to the assessment district participants. Those who
prepaid their assessment in cash can receive their surplus share immediately. Those property
owners who are paying yearly assessments will receive a credit on their tax bills two years after
the delivery of the assessment district bonds in October 1993.
A resolution declaring a surplus in the improvement fund must be approved by the Board in order
for distributions to be made to the assessment district participants.
RECOMMENDATION: Adopt a Resolution Declaring Surplus in Improvement Fund for Camino
Amigo Sewer Project LID No. 58.

APPROVE AN AGREEMENT WITH MT. VIEW SANITARY
DISTRICT TO CONTINUE TO PROVIDE SEWER SERVICE
TO RECENTLY ACQUIRED PROPERTIES
TYPE OF ACTION
APPROVE AGREEMENT
SUBMITTED BY
Jay McCoy, Infrastructure Division Manager
INITIATING DEPT.lDIV.
Engineering Dept./lnfrastructure Div.
ISSUE: Board of Directors' approval is required for agreements with other public agencies.
BACKGROUND: This District (CCCSD) acquired two properties west of Imhoff Place within the
past year. These properties are shown on the attached map. Mt.' View Sanitary District
(MVSD) provided sanitary sewer service to these properties before' the acquisition and is
continuing to provide such service. CCCSD will eventually reroute the sewer system for these
properties to our collection system as a part of a future project. Potential future projects which
have been discussed are the installation of a household hazardous waste facility or a reclaimed
wastewater facility. Until that time, it is proposed that MVSD continue to provide sewer service.
An agreement between MVSD and CCCSD is needed to document the obligations of each
district. An agreement has been prepared which contains the following provisions.
. MVSD will continue to provide sewer service to the properties.
. CCCSD will pay MVSD's expenses related to the annexation of these properties
to CCCSD.
. CCCSD will pay a yearly sewer service charge for its commercial facility to MVSD
(approximately $900 for fiscal year 1991-92).
. The agreement terminates when the sewer system for the properties is rerouted
to CCCSD or by written agreement between the parties.
The proposed agreement has been approved by MVSD's Board of Directors and is herewith
submitted for consideration and approval.
This project has been evaluated by staff and determined to be exempt from the California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) under District CEQA Guidelines Section 5.2(b)(3), since it is
covered by the general rule that CEQA applies only to projects which have the potential for
causing a significant effect on the environment. Where it can be seen with certainty that there
is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment,
the activity is not subject to CEQA.

ATTACHMENT A
SUMMARY OF PROPOSED CHANGES TO THE
SOURCE CONTROL ORDINANCE
Pursuant to the authority granted by the California Government Code, District staff may
issue administrative complaints, conduct administrative hearings, and/or impose the civil
penalties as outlined below:
o Civil penalties may be imposed ranging from a maximum of $2,000 per day to a
maximum of $5,000 per day depending on the type of violation. Examples of
violations include:
Failing to submit monitoring reports ($2,000 per day)
Failing to comply with a compliance schedule ($3,000 per day)
Violation of wastewater discharge limits or permit conditions ($5,000 per
day)
Violation of a Cease and Desist order ($10 per gallon)
o Noncompliance fees allowed under the current ordinance would be eliminated,
since they are a duplication of the civil penalties proposed above which are
authorized by state law. These fees, which are assessed for violations of
wastewater discharge limits, range from $50 to $2,000 per day.
o For violation of wastewater discharge limits or other violations of the Clean Water
Act, liability of $25,000 per violation may also be imposed by a court. This
replaces the current civil liability limit of $6,000 per day.

Section 10.16.060 is hereby amended to read as follows:
"10.16.060 SusDension or Termination of Service.
A. Suspension of Service.
The District may suspend the wastewater treatment service
and/or a wastewater discharge permit or permit contract
by issuance of a Cease and Desist Order when the District
makes the determination that such suspension is neces-
sary. A suspension shall be justified in order to
prevent an actual or threatened discharge which presents
or may present an imminent or substantial endangerment to
the health or welfare of individuals or the environment,
causes or may cause interference to the treatment plant
or other District operations, or causes or may cause the
District to violate any condition of its NPDES permit.
Additionally, a permit may be suspended for any of the
conditions set forth justifying revocation of permit or
termination of permit contract as set forth in Section
10.16.060.B. Nothing in this paragraph will limit th~
rights of the District to suspend or terminate service
pursuant to specific permit or permit contract conditions
which may be more stringent.
Any industrial user notified of a suspension of service
and/ or the wastewater discharge permit or permit contract
shall immediately stop or eliminate the discharge. In
the event of a failure of the user to comply voluntarily
with the administrative order, the District shall take
such steps as deemed necessary to prevent or minimize
damage to the District's facilities or endangerment to
persons or the environment. The District may reinstate
the wastewater discharge permit, permit contract, and/or
the wastewater treatment service upon proof of the
elimination of the non-complying discharge.

report the wastewater constituents and
characteristics of his discharge;
3. Failure of the user to report significant changes
in operations, or wastewater constituents and
characteristics;
4. Refusal of reasonable access to the user's premises
for the purpose of inspection or monitoring;
5. Failure of a user to notify the District
immediately of accidental discharge and/ or take

ISSUE: The Board of Directors has established March 19, 1992, as the date for a public hearing
on the draft Fiscal Year 1992-93 CIB/1992 Ten-Year CIP. Board consideration of approval of the
CIB for inclusion in the 1992-93 District Budget and separate approval of the CIP is requested.
BACKGROUND: . The CIP provides the basis for project prioritizing and scheduling, District
staffing, and long-range financial planning. The CIP also serves as the framework for fee analysis.
The CIB provides a detailed presentation of the schedules and cost estimates for projects
proposed for the first year of the ten-year planning period. It also provides for funding
authorization from the Sewer Construction Fund to the Treatment Plant, Collection System, and
General Improvement programs.
The CIB/CIP was submitted to the Board of Directors' Capital Projects Committee for review on
February 4, 1992. The document was submitted to the full Board on March 5, 1992. It is
appropriate for the Board to receive public comments prior to considering approval of the CIB/CIP.
March 19, 1992, was established by the Board as the date for a public hearing to receive these
comments and appropriate notices have been posted.
Budget
Adoption of the CIB with the 1992-93 District Budget in June will authorize an additional
$ 52,377,000 from the Sewer Construction Fund for planning, design, and construction of capital
improvement projects in the Treatment Plant, Collection System, and General Improvements
programs. In addition to the new funding authorization, a carry-over of approximately
$23,056,000 from Board authorizations in previous years is anticipated, resulting in a total Fiscal
Year 1992-93 authorized funding level of $75,433,000. The distribution of the funding
authorization to the three capital improvement programs is shown on Attachment 1. Nineteen
major projects account for 80 percent of the total authorized funding level for Fiscal Year 1992-
93. These 19 projects are listed in Attachment 2.
Adoption of the CIB also constitutes Board of Directors' approval of projects listed in Tables 4,
5, and 6 of the Budget document as exempt under the California Environmental Quality Act
(CEQA) .

Plan
Approval of the CIP authorizes staff to use the CIP's project priorities and cash flow assumptions
in fee system and financing analysis. The CIP describes approximately $243 million (1992 dollars)
in capital improvement projects to be pursued over the next ten years. These projects are needed
to meet goals that have been established for the Treatment Plant, Collection System, and General
Improvement programs. These goals are presented in Attachments 3, 4, and 5.
The funding needs of the proposed projects in the CIP will exceed the District's pay-as-you-go
financing system funding capabilities. This is due to three factors: 1) the emergence of new air
emissions, water quality and safety regulations which must be addressed through capital
improvement projects (that is, formerly "Parturient" projects, such as the Disinfection Facilities
Improvement Project), 2) the under realization of interest revenue due to general economic
conditions, and 3) the need to proceed with several large budget projects to meet District wet
weather overflow prevention goals.
To provide the funds required to implement needed projects, the CIP proposes that the District
issue bonds or certificates of participation. Three issues of $20-, $28-, and $10 million each, in
FY 1992-93, FY 1995-96, and FY 1998-99, respectively, would provide the funds needed while
maintaining a prudent reserve of 80 percent of the next year's projected capital improvement
expenditure needs at the beginning of each fiscal year. The prudent reserve is needed to assure
adequate cash on hand for progress payments due prior to receipt of tax revenue which is
received in two installments, the first in December and the second in April and the City of
Concord's cost share, typically received in February.
It will be proposed at the time the sewer service charges are set that implementation of a Sewer
Service Charge (SSC) capital increment to be used for Upgrade/Replacement projects be
considered for maintenance of the Sewer Construction Fund prudent reserve. This SSC capital
increment would begin in FY 1992-93 at $1 per residential unit equivalent and would increase at
the rate of $2 per year over the 1 a-year period covered by this plan.
The CIP has been evaluated by staff and determined to be exempt from the California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) under District CEQA Guidelines Section 17.3 since it is a
planning study.

ISSUE: On March 10, 1992, bids for construction of the Sewer Rehabilitation Project,
Soares/South Trail/Dalewood, District Project No. 4294, were received and opened. The
Board of Directors must authorize award of the contract or reject bids within 50 days of the
opening of bids.
BACKGROUND: During the winter of 1982-83, the sewers on Soares Lane in Lafayette and
South Trail and Dalewood Drive in Orinda were damaged. The locations of these sewers are
shown in Attachment 1.
A predesign report was prepared for the Soares Lane site recommending a new sewer line
be installed across various property owners' land. Permanent and temporary easements for
the new sewer alignment have been acquired. The new sewer alignment minimizes the
potential for future storm damage.
The Storm Damage Repair South Trail Creek Crossing Project, District Project No. 4120, was
originally bid in June 1989, but bids were rejected due to the high cost. The District has
completed a new design using a pipe truss system approach with the intent of lowering the
project cost. The Dalewood Sewer Rehabilitation Project will replace a displaced creek
crossing pipe support.
This has been a particularly difficult job because of two factors. First, two of the three sites
are in steep backyard terrain and equipment access is not possible. Special design features
were developed to allow for hand construction of piers and trusses. Second, the three sites
required 9 easements and 31 property access agreements. Extensive negotiation was
required to obtain the necessary rights.
Plans and specifications for the projects were prepared by G.S. Dodson and Associates, Inc.
The project was advertised for bid on February 7, 1992. The engineer's estimate for
construction is $270,000. Bids for the project were received on March 10, 1992. These
bids ranged from $188,795 to $493,750. A summary of the bids received is shown in
Attachment 2.

AUTHORIZE AWARD OF PURCHASE ORDER TO RHONE-POULENC,

LA-1761, FOR USE IN SLUDGE DEWATERING
DATE

Alan R. Grieb, Associate Engineer
Plant Operations Department
ISSUE:
The District has advertized and received bids (Bid Request No. B0322T) for the supply of polymeric
flocculents (polymer) for use in sludge dewatering. The Board of Directors must authorize award
of the purchase order or reject all bids within 45 days.
BACKGROUND:
The District's treatment plant uses polymers in its sludge dewatering centrifuges to aid the
dewatering process. The addition of polymer enhances centrifuge performance, resulting in dryer
sludge "cake" and increased sludge capture. Dryer sludge cake equates to lower fuel use in the
multiple hearth furnaces, and" increased sludge capture equates to less sludge recycled to the
treatment plant for retreatment.
The District used field testing techniques to preQualify polymers and to determine the polymer
dosage rate required to achieve maximum cake solids and sludge capture. Four of the polymers
tested met the minimum standards, so they were preQualified and were invited to bid.
Bids were received on February 25, 1992, with each bidder submitting a bid for price per pound of
polymer (bid prices are shown in Attachment 1). The District staff then used the bid price for the
polymer and the field test results to evaluate the bids. The bids were evaluated using a formula
which considered the actual cost of the polymer and overall performance. The formula (provided
in Attachment 2) resulted in a comparative cost. The comparative cost is the sum of the actual
cost of the polymer, the energy cost as a function of sludge cake dryness, and the retreatment
cost due to solids not captured in the dewatering process for a two-year period.

The following table lists the polymers that were bid, the bid price, and the comparative cost.
Bidder Product Price Comoarative Cost
Rhone-Poulenc Polypure LA-1761 $0.0953/lb $1,191,956
Diatec Diatec 650 $0.0714/1b $1 ,342,442
Diatec Diatec 660 $0.0974/1b $1,392,288
Stockhausen Praestol K290FL $1 .11 5/lb $1,421,642
The lowest comparative cost was for Rhone-Poulenc's Polypure LA-1761. It is estimated that the
savings in polymer cost resulting from using this product over the currently used product will be at
least $40,000 per year with additional savings as a result of lower gas use. The cost of the
polymer will be funded from the Plant Operations Department's Operating Budget. The annual cost
of the polymer is expected to be about $180,000.
RECOMMENDATION:
Authorize award of the purchase order to Rhone-Poulenc as the lowest responsible bidder to supply
Polypure LA-1761 at a cost of $0.0953/1b.

CONSIDER ADOPTING A RESOLUTION OPPOSING ASSEMBLY
BILL (AB) 3214 TRANSFERRING AD VALOREM PROPERTY
TAX REVENUES FROM SPECIAL DISTRICTS
DATE

TYPE OF ACTION
ADOPT RESOLUTION
SUBMITTED BY
INITIATING DEPT iDIV.
Russell B. Leavitt, Planning Assistant
Engineering Department/Planning Division
ISSUE: District opposition to AB 3214 has been requested by the California Association of
Sanitation Agencies (CASA).
BACKGROUND: Assembly Bill (AB) 3214 proposes transferring about $347 million in property
tax revenues from "enterprise" special districts to school districts. These transferred property tax
revenues would reduce state budget obligations to schools under Proposition 98, thus freeing
$347 million in the state budget for other, undefined purposes. Nevertheless, with or without the
proposed property tax transfer, schools would receive the same level of funding.
The property tax transfer proposal is aimed at about 1,500 enterprise districts around the state
which receive a portion of the property tax to support their operation and maintenance.
"Enterprise" districts generally have elected governing boards and have the authority to charge
fees for services. These districts run airports, electric and water utilities, ports and harbors, and
waste disposal facilities such as this District.
Under AB 3214, CCCSD would lose all future ad valorem property tax revenues. The 1992-93
estimated property tax revenue is $8.8 million, 17.7 percent of the District's total revenue.
The state and federal governments are substantially increasing fees to wastewater agencies, while
also passing new regulations which require extensive operational improvements. The District uses
property tax revenues to meet these regulatory requirements. Such expenditures result in
improved environmental protection and increased local employment opportunities.
The state of California expects that the affected special districts will replace lost property tax
revenues with increased service fees. The governor's 1992 budget message states, "these
enterprise special districts are generally not property tax dependent and should be able to
compensate for the loss in property taxes by increasing their operating income from other
sources. "

To replace these lost funds, the District's current annual sewer service charge of $1 51 per
household would need to be raised by $65 -- a 43 percent increase. This potential sewer service
charge increase would cost school districts an additional $74,000 per year and Contra Costa
County government an additional $45,000 per year. These costs would be in addition to any
normal rate adjustment the District may impose for increased operating costs.
Other special districts which overlap the District's service area (such as water suppliers) also may
need to raise rates to replace lost revenue due to AB 3214. East Bay Municipal Utility District
(EBMUD) would lose $10.6 million in water service related property tax revenues and Contra
Costa Water District would lose $2.6 million. Thus, ratepayers served by two or more enterprise
districts potentially face rate increases from multiple agencies. Furthermore, since some state
residents are not served by a special district, the increased costs suffered by ratepayers in the
affected special districts would not be offset by a proportionate benefit in return.
Property tax revenues are an appropriate mechanism to finance some utility costs. Sewers, for
example, enhance the value of all property, even undeveloped lots. The use of property tax
revenues, therefore, is appropriate for maintaining and upgrading sewer systems. Through this
mechanism, owners of undeveloped lots share some of the cost of providing the sewer services
which raise the value of their property.
As part of a statewide effort to oppose AB 3214, CASA is requesting agencies to send resolutions
of opposition to the governor and state legislators.
RECOMMENDATION: Adopt the attached resolution opposing AB 3214.

RESOLUTION NO. 92-
RESOLUTION OPPOSING ASSEMBLY Bill 3214
TRANSFERRING AD VALOREM PROPERTY TAX REVENUES
FROM SPECIAL DISTRICTS
WHEREAS, Assembly Bill 3214 proposes an indefinite shift of $347 million in property
tax revenues from "enterprise" special districts to schools; and
WHEREAS, the revenue transfer would not provide additional funding to the schools but
rather would reduce the obligations of the state as required by Proposition 98; and
WHEREAS, the revenue transfer would result in substantial increases in rates and charges
for sewer, water, and other services; and
WHEREAS, the proposal could result in Sewer Service Charge increases of 43 percent for
customers of the Central Contra Costa Sanitary District (CCCSD) in addition to potential
water rate increases from the East Bay Municipal Utility District or the Contra Costa
Water District; and
WHEREAS, the state and federal governments are substantially increasing fees to sewer
agencies while also passing new regulations which require extensive operational
improvements; and
WHEREAS, CCCSD uses property tax revenues to meet these regulatory requirements
which results in improved environmental protection and local employment opportunities;
and
WHEREAS, property tax revenues are an appropriate mechanism to finance some utility
services costs; maintaining and upgrading sewers, for example, enhances the value of all
property; and
WHEREAS, by singling out "enterprise" special districts, the proposal creates inequities
for ratepayers receiving services from these districts as compared to those receiving
similar services from a city, privately-owned public utility, mutually-owned corporation,
or a joint powers authority.
THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Central Contra Costa Sanitary District opposes
AB 3214 and the proposed transfer of property tax revenues from "enterprise" special
districts to schools.

John Larson, CSOD Manager
Collection System Operations
ISSUE: Board action is required in order to change the number or level of authorized staff
positions.
BACKGROUND: A mid-year change is requested in the Collection System Operation Department
(CSOD) in order to provide Department-level safety support. The workload of supporting the
safety activities at CSOD has grown beyond the present allocation of part-time labor. The
increase in workload has been created by increasingly stringent requirements for safety programs
and their attendant training and documentation activities. Examples of the added requirements
include mandated periodic jobsite inspections, specific requirements for periodic and formal
training in trench shoring, more stringent confined space entry and rescue procedures, and more
stringent traffic control procedures.
The employee filling the proposed position would work both as a Department-level Safety
Specialist and as a staff trainer. The Safety Specialist would prepare and update written
procedures, conduct field inspections, and investigate accidents/incidents. The Safety Specialist
would provide staff support for the ongoing safety program and maintain the more sophisticated
safety equipment (e.g. self-contained-breathing-apparatus, gas monitors). As a staff trainer the
safety specialist would present quarterly and annual classroom training (e.g. respiratory
protection, confined space entry and rescue, trench shoring, defensive driving, traffic contro!),
and the use and storage of hazardous materials.
The requested change will not increase the total number of authorized employees. This change
will increase the annual labor cost during 1992/93 by $67,000. There are adequate funds in the
1991/92 O&M Budget to cover the additional cost of filling an unbudgeted position.
The requested change was reviewed by the Board Personnel Committee at their March 2, 1992
meeting. This change is being requested at this time in order to take advantage of a recent
recruitment.
RECOMMENDATION: Delete One Maintenance Supervisor position (Range S-71, $3,648 to
$4,415) and Add One Operations Safety Specialist (Range S-71, $3,648 to $4,415) in the
Collection System Operations Department.

John Larson, CSOD Manager
Collections System Operations
ISSUE: Board action is required in order to change the number or level of authorized staff
positions.
BACKGROUND: The Collection System Operations Department (CSOD) has three to five
construction crews working on a daily basis. The construction work must be well-planned and
coordinated with the other utilities and the public in order for the construction crews to be
productive. The individual jobs must be selected in priority order from a backlog that averages
around 200 jobs. Prior to excavation, the other utilities, the cities and the public must be
notified and specialty contractors must be contacted (e.g. saw cutting the paving). In many
cases special tools, materials, and equipment are required. Upon completion, specialty
contractors must be coordinated (e.g. final paving). It takes one to three hours per job to
complete all planning and coordinating activities.
In addition, recent changes in the requirements for locating utilities require that the District must
respond to each location request received from Underground Services Alert (USA). The response
must be to (1) locate field facilities, (2) provide mapping information, or (3) to state that there
are no facilities in the area. The great majority of the responses are handled by providing
mapping information. This activity requires two to three hours of work per day to respond to
an average of 30 location/excavation notifications per day.
To date the work in this area has been evolving and the workload has been met using
Engineering COOPS, employees on limited duty, and seasonal employees. The workload appears
to be stable at this time and it is appropriate to create a new Maintenance Coordinator 1/11
position to address this workload. The requested action would also reduce the number of
Engineering COOP positions requested for 1992/93 by one.
The requested change will not increase the total number of authorized employees. This change
will result in a slight decrease in the annual labor cost during 1992/93.
The requested change was reviewed by the Board Personnel Committee at their March 2, 1992
meeting. This change is being requested at this time in order to take advantage of a recent
recruitment.

DENY CLAIM
SUBMITTED BY

Bonnie Allen, Risk Manager
Administrative/Risk Management and Safety
ISSUE: CalRecovery, Incorporated (CRI) has filed a claim for $14,472.25 plus interest against
the District. Claim denials require action by the Board of Directors.
BACKGROUND: This is the second claim filed by CRI, the first of which dealt with an agreement
in August 1 990 for preparation of a joint Solid Waste Generation Study between CRI and the
District and the central Contra Costa cities.
In October of 1990 the District independently entered into a second agreement with CRI for
professional engineering services in connection with preparation of four Preliminary Draft Source
Reduction and Recycling Elements for the cities that Central San franchises. CRI failed to comply
with the terms of the Agreement in that services were inadequate. As a result the Agreement
was terminated.
CRI alleges that the District has failed to pay all sums due and claims a principal sum of
$14,472.25, plus interest, is still owed of the original Agreement amount of $50,665.00.
The staff recommends that the claim be denied.
RECOMMENDATION: Deny the claim from CalRecovery, Incorporated and refer to staff for
further action as needed.
