7. REPORTS
a. GENERAL MANAGER
1 ) Conco Update
General Manager Jim Kelly stated that on July 20, 2006, the Board authorized
the General Manager to complete and execute an agreement for the purchase
and exchange of property rights with Gonsalves and Santucci, Inc. (better known
as CONCO Cement Company) of Concord. In exchange for the sale of the
easements, the District will receive a combination of property rights and cash.
Mr. Swanson reported on the status of easement negotiations. Con co is
developing an industrial site for their use to the north of the District treatment
plant. Access to the Conco property is from Imhoff Drive by way of an easement
across District property that was originally granted in the 1960's. Conco needs a
wider road easement as well as an underground utility easement to serve their
development. The Board has authorized the General Manager to complete
negotiations and sign a master property rights agreement. CCCSD and Conco
have agreed on valuation of property rights exchange. The master agreement is
close to being signed by both parties, and will establish the basis for District staff
to prepare the agreements and easement documents which will be brought to the
Board in the next few months.
The following easements are being acquired by Conco 1) "overburden" of
existing road easement; 2) additional road easement (extending width from 24 to
34 feet); 3) 20-foot underground easements for water and sewer pipelines and;
4) relocating CCCSD access easements on Conco property, The total value of
these easements is $231,280.
In return for these easements property rights, exchanges from Con co include 1)
the upgrading of outfall easement to fee title; 2) the outfall fee title width will be
increased from 80 to 100 feet; 3) more restrictions have been added to the M-2
Forcemain easement and; 4) obtaining a discharge easement through an
existing drainage easement which goes through the Conco property out to
Pacheco Slough.
2) Report on Water Environment Federation Sanitary Sewer Overflow
Conference
General Manager James Kelly reported that the National Collection Systems
Conference was held from August 6 to 9,2006, in Detroit, Michigan. Collection
System Operations Division Manager Bill Brennan and Associate Engineer Gail
Chesler attended. Bill Brennan presented a report on the conference.
Book 55 - Page 3
Board Minutes of September 7, 2006
Mr. Brennan reported that the Environment Protection Agency (EPA) Capacity,
Management, Operations and Maintenance (CMOM) plans were put on hold in
the year 2000, and now the EPA is now reopening discussions to issue CMOM
regulations. In the eastern part of the country the EPA is using consent decrees
to force improvements of collections systems.
CCCSD already functions in the equivalent of a CMOM environment with the
Sewer System Management Plan. Based on information presented at the
conference, CCCSD is meeting or exceeding trends elsewhere in the nation.
3) Self-Insurance Retention Review
General Manager James Kelly reported that at a previous Board meeting, staff
was asked by Member Lucey to review the impacts to the District of a $1,000,000
self-insured retention versus the current $500,000 self-insurance retention.
Director of Administration Randall Musgraves reported that the District has a
$500,000 self-insured retention. After the District pays this amount on a claim,
the balance up to $10,500,000 is paid by the District's insurance carrier AIG.
Any amount past this is paid by the District.
The District has paid $542,513 over the self-insurance retention in the past eight
years on three claims.
If the self-insured retention was increased from a $500,000 limit to a $1,000,000
limit allowing the Board more control over settlement of claims, this would yield a
25 percent reduction in premium rates to the District or an annual savings of
approximately $66,000 per year. Because of increasing costs, future claims to
the District could also exceed the $500,000 retention.
The savings from annual premiums in changing to a $1,000,000 retention, using
the Districts history for calculations, would break even at about eight years.
Issues for the Board to consider are: 1) the very expensive homes in District
boundaries, therefore, there is a potential for significant loss; 2) cost of clean-up
continues to increase; and 3) mold concerns cleanup costs are rapidly
increasing. Inverse condemnation costs are also a consideration. The District
does not have a standing lateral connection point-of-sale inspection program.
The District does not have a strong enforcement of our mandatory overflow
device program although the number of overflows and the extent of overflows
have been reduced through increased maintenance.
Mr. Musgraves stated that there are three components to this issue: 1) claims
administration; 2) prevention; and 3) legal.
After Board discussion it was determined that staff, with input from District
Counsel, will return to the Board at a future meeting to discuss this issue further
and receive Board direction.
4) General Manager James Kelly updated the Board on Natural Gas and
Landfill Gas noting that District Counsel Kent Aim and Doug Craig have
been involved in negotiations with Bulldog. Bulldog indicated that they are
considering withdrawing their termination letter and extending the contract
for another year. The landfill gas continues to be out of service as they
work to remove the excessive condensate in their landfill gas. Bulldog
hopes to be able to deliver landfill gas by the end of September 2006. In
the absence of landfill gas District staff has purchased the additional
natural gas necessary to operate the incinerator and auxiliary boilers (400
decatherms per day through September 2006). Due to favorable market
conditions staff was able to purchase the gas for $6.62 per decatherm.
Staff will update the Board on any progress regarding contract issues and
changes to Bulldog's schedule.

Board Minutes of September 7, 2006
After discussion the Board requested that this issue be brought back to
the Board at the next Board meeting at which time the Board will be able
to take action.
5) General Manager James Kelly announced that California State law
requires that LAFCO complete a Municipal Service Review and update of
Sphere of Influence by January 1, 2008. This review of municipal services
is intended to identify opportunities for cost reduction. The Municipal
Service Review for water and wastewater services in Contra Costa County
was initiated on August 22, 2006. Director of Engineering Ann Farrell
represented the District at that meeting. The first step is for the District to
submit the answers to a detailed questionnaire and provide copies of
required documents. A draft response has been prepared and is one of
the handouts for this meeting. Staff has requested that any Board
comments on the draft response be sent directly to General Manager
James Kelly before the next Board Meeting on September 23, 2006.
Following analysis of this information, LAFCO and its consultant will
develop draft findings that will be made available for review to all the
affected parties. The District is very proactive in forming partnerships to
more efficiently provide optimal municipal services. The District's efforts in
this area should serve the Distict well during the municipal service review
process. The Board will be kept informed of the findings as they are made
available to staff.
6) General Manager James Kelly reviewed the anticipated impacts .of the
Caltrans proposed Highways 680 and 4 Interchange Project, stating that
on August 22, 2006 Caltrans held an Open House for its proposed
1680/State Route 4 Interchange Improvement Project. The project's
purpose is to eliminate the existing dangerous traffic crossovers by
installing direct connect f1yovers. Several of the District's existing sewer
lines will be affected by the project, including approximately 1400 feet of
the 84-inch A-Line Interceptor in Berry Drive. It has been Caltrans's past
practice to enter into an agreement with the District to have the District
relocate impacted facilities at Caltrans's expense. Design of the
Interchange improvements is expected to start in 2010 with construction
starting on the first two of five phases in 2013. All five phases should be
completed by 2020 at an estimated cost of approximately $200 million.
Board President Mario Menesini requested Kent Aim to confirm that
Caltrans past reimbursement policy is unchanged. Kent stated that he
would confirm Caltrans current practice.
7) General Manager James Kelly announced results of the Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA) Inspection of Treatment Plant conducted in
January 2006 stating that the primary purpose of the inspection was to
determine the accuracy and reliability of the self-monitoring and reporting
program. The District received satisfactory ratings in all categories
included in the inspection, and the report notes that the facility appears to
be well maintained and efficiently operated.
8) General Manager James Kelly announced the Pollution Prevention
Awards Reception that will take place at 1 :30 p.m. before the September
21,2006, Board Meeting. The District's annual Pollution Prevention
Awards will be presented directly following the reception at the Board
meeting.
9) General Manager James Kelly announced Alhambra Valley Creek
Coalition will hold a community meeting on Thursday, September 14, 2006

Board Minutes of September 7, 2006
10) General Manager James Kelly announce the election of Member Hockett
to the California Association of Sanitation Agencies (CASA) Executive
Board as Member-at-Large for a one-year term. This recognizes Board
member Hockett's contributions as a conference attendee. Her election
will help assure that CASA continues to focus on issues that are important
to CCCSD, such as collection system overflow regulations, air regulations,
and water quality regulations.
At a future board meeting, as part of the District's review of compliance
with AB 1234, a resolution establishing procedures for compensation of
Board committees will be updated to ensure it complies with AB 1234. At
that time it would be appropriate to consider if the current list of approved
committees and organizations should be updated to include additional
committees and organizations that are necessary for the efficient
operation of the District.
One of the issues to be considered is whether attendance at committee or
director's meetings for organizations such as CASA or California Special
Districts Association should be included on the list of non-Board meetings
for which the District provides compensation. This issue will be brought
back to the Board in the near future.
General Manager James Kelly announced staff attendance at California
Water Environment Association (CWEA) Northern Regional Training
Conference in Sparks, Nevada, September 17-19, 2006. A total of ten
staff members will attend. The conference includes excellent sessions on

District staff members are either presenting papers, participating on
panels, or moderating sessions. Funds were included in the Training and
Conference budget.
General Manager James Kelly announced that Environmental Services
Division Manager Curt Swanson is attending the Plastic Pipes Conference
in Washington D.C. from October 2 through 4, 2006. This conference is
about advances in design, construction, and use of plastic pipes for
utilities. The cost of attending this conference will be covered by Mr.
Swanson's Professional Expense Reimbursement Allowance.
General Manager James Kelly announce that Vehicle and Equipment
Mechanic Nick Wright will travel to Hammond, Indiana, for factory training
on OK Champion rodder maintenance on September 27,2006. This is the

the company; funds for this travel are included in the Train'ing and
Conference budget.
Member Menesini requested that the Board receive a report on this
training as well as on the CWEA Conference.
14) General Manager James Kelly announced that California Senate Bill 1205,

SECRETARY OF THE DISTRICT TO EXECUTE A JOINT POWERS
AGREEMENT. AT AN ESTIMATED COST OF $60.000. WITH MT. VIEW
SANITARY DISTRICT FOR THE M4-A FORCEMAIN RECONSTRUCTION
PROJECT. DISTRICT PROJECT NO. 5410
General Manager James Kelly stated that on May 4, 2006 the Board awarded a
construction contract for the M4-A Forcemain Reconstruction Project to McGuire and
Hester. Recent potholing for the project alignment revealed high levels of groundwater
entering the excavation. This higher quantity of groundwater may be a direct result of
the protracted rains this spring and tidal influence on the Mt. View Sanitary District
wetlands area.
Mr. Kelly introduced Assistant Engineer Wesley Adams who reported on the status of
the M-4 Forcemain Project. Mr. Adams stated that this project consists of the
construction of approximately 4,000 lineal feet of 24-inch forcemain as well as
improvements at the Fairview Pumping Station. To minimize the impacts of the
groundwater on the forcemain construction, staff proposes to continue utilizing a pump
owned by Mt. View Sanitary District located at the tide gate to Peyton Slough. Mt. View
Sanitary District has the regulatory approvals to operate the pump. Additionally, staff
has worked out an agreement with Mt. View Sanitary District to lease a construction
staging area.

Director of Engineering Ann Farrell summarized capital expenditures and revenues and
reviewed major project expenditures in the treatment plant, collection system, general
improvements, and recycled water programs. She stated that the actual District Capital
Expenditures of $27,671 ,700 were within approximately $33,000 of the Capital
Expenditure Budget of $27,705,500.
The budget for Capital Revenues was $20.82 million and actual Capital Revenue was
close to $25 million, primarily because of the capacity fees from the Dougherty Valley
that were about $2 million higher than budgeted.
Ms. Farrell reviewed the major projected expenditures in each of the Capital Programs.
The largest variance from budget in the Treatment Plant Program was the UV
Disinfection Project that was delayed because of patent issues which have since been
resolved.
Ms. Farrell noted that the largest variance in the Collection System Program was the
addition of scope to the Vessing Sewer Renovation Project. She also noted that there
is an outstanding claim on the Lower Orinda Pumping Station Project which staff in
negotiating with the contractor. Staff will be briefing the Board on this issue in the next
several months.
The General Improvements Program was under budget on equipment because several
vehicles were not delivered on time. The Collection System Operations Division
Facilities were also under budget due to project delays. The Sewer Construction Fund
balance was reduced by approximately $2.9 million to $55.8 million as a result of
planned expenditures exceeding revenues.
c. REVIEW AND APPROVE THE DISTRICT'S STATEMENT OF INVESTMENT
POLICY
General Manager James Kelly stated that the District's Investment Policy is reviewed by

PERSONAL INCOME PERCENTAGE CHANGE FOR USE IN COMPUTING
THE APPROPRIATIONS LIMIT
General Manager James Kelly stated that the District is required to establish its
appropriations limit each year in accordance with the California Constitution. The
appropriations limit is increased each year by a factor comprised of the change in
population, combined with either the change in California per capita personal income or
the percentage change in the local assessment roll from the preceding year due to
local nonresidential construction. The Board must select between the per capita
personal income, or the change in the local assessment roll due to local nonresidential
construction, by a recorded vote. Staff recommended selection of the per capita
personal income percentage change for use in computing the appropriations limit this
year as it is the greater of the two.
It was moved by Member Nejedly and seconded by Member Hockett that the Board
adopt Resolution 2006-072, establishing the Sewer Construction Fund appropriations
Book 55 - Page 9
