GENERAL MANAGER 1) Internal Audit Reports General Manager James Kelly stated that the District's internal auditor, Rosemary Belland, has completed her audits of agreements and contracts, and the CSO Warehouse. "-- Controller Debbie Ratcliff presented a report. She stated that the auditor reviewed the last ten years' worth of agreements and contracts and examined forty vendors. The auditor looked for signs of unusual patterns, vendor favoritism, and contract amounts under the limits requiring Board approval. In 1996-2001, the District had used numerous emergency purchase orders in lieu of blanket purchase orders, but in 2002-2006 that problem was not apparent. The Book 55 - Page. 13 Board Minutes of September 21, 2006 auditor had no recommendations for improvement~ with reg~rd to ~greement~ and contracts. With regard to the CSO Warehouse and Vehicle Repair Parts Inventory, several recommendations were presented. These included entering stock removal forms daily into the inventory system, which has been implemented; using tracking forms for "desirable" items, which has also been implemented; and installing locking gates and issuing access cards. Staff is looking into that and is hoping to incorporate that recommendation when the new facility is built. For the Vehicle Maintenance Shop, the auditor recommended installing a card reader system to lock during the day, but staff felt that would not be cost-effective. When unattended, the shop will be kept locked. She also recommended taking physical inventory twice a year, and using a check-out sheet to track usage. Ms. Ratcliff stated that the recommended internal audits for Fiscal Year 2006-07 are auditing the sewer service charge process; permit counter operations, including permit fee processing; and audit of maintenance facilities spare parts. 2) General Manager James Kelly announced that a settlement agreement has been developed with Sammann Trust for Happy Valley Creek bank restoration in Lafayette. The heavy rains of last winter eroded a significant portion of the Happy Valley Creek bank at 25 Cosso Court in Lafayette and compromised the integrity of the ten-inch sewer in the vicinity of the bank. District staff worked with the property owner to repair the creek bank before the onset of wet weather later this year. As part of the settlement agreement with the Sammann Trust, the District agreed to contribute $20,000 to the repair once the work was satisfactorily completed. The creek bank was repaired in August 2006 at a total cost of $60,000. This is provided as an informational item to the Board since staff has $25,000 authority to settle claims. 3) General Manager James Kelly announced that staff intends to advertise for bids for two blanket contracts for utility locating services and survey monument restoration on October 4 and October 9,2006. The utility location services contract is to field verify record information. The results are used to evaluate alternatives during design and to minimize change orders during construction. The Engineer's estimate for the locating services is $50,000. The survey monument restoration contract is to rebuild survey monuments damaged or destroyed during construction. The survey monuments have to be restored under supervision of a licensed land surveyor and in accordance with county requirements to insure proper installation. The survey monument restoration cost estimate is $36,000. Staff plans to request award of these blanket contracts at the November 2,2006 Board Meeting. 4) General Manager James Kelly announced the advertisement for Service Air System Improvements. The Service Air System, which provides compressed air for instrumentation and mechanical units, is one of the critical plant systems. The present compressors have been in service for approximately 20 years and are reaching the end of their design life. This project will install two new compressors and rehabilitate one existing unit to serve as a standby unit. The new compressors will provide energy savings and ensure a reliable supply of compressed service air. This project will advertise in October 2006 and bids will be opened in November 2006. The construction cost is currently estimated at $1,500,000. More information will be presented when Board approval of the construction contract is requested. 5) General Manager James Kelly announced that Human Resources Manager Cathryn Freitas will attend the International Public Management Association for Human Resources training conference in Las Vegas, Nevada on October 7 through October 11, 2006. This conference covers Book 55 - Page 14 --- -- '-- --. Board Minutes of September 21,2006 a wide variety of topics for public management human resources professionals and focuses this year on succession planning, building leadership, and addressing generational differences in the workplace. Topics of particular interest are "Labor Relations for the Next Generation", "Generations X and Y: Their Ethical Hot Buttons", and "Recruitment Strategies: Filling Hard-to-FiII Positions." Funds to cover the cost of attendance were included in the budget. 6) General Manager James Kelly announced that landfill gas has not been available since July 22, 2006, when Bulldog Power and Gas shut down for maintenance related to excessive condensate in the gas. With the uncertainty as to when Bulldog Power and Gas will be operating again, District staff has purchased natural gas for both September and October 2006. The Board was notified on September 7, 2006 of the September gas purchase at a price on $6.62 per decatherm. Staff recently purchased October natural gas at a price of $5.92 per decatherm. Further purchases may be necessary and will be considered in Agenda Item 9.a. 7) General Manager James Kelly presented an update on the Alhambra Valley Trunk Sewer project, stating that construction of Phase 1 of the Trunk Sewer Project is nearing completion. Approximately 3,300 feet of 10-inch and 12-inch trunk sewer has been installed along Alhambra Valley Road. The contractor, Mountain Cascade, Inc., is finishing restoration and the installation of sewer laterals. Completion of the contract work is anticipated by October 13, 2006. The environmental review of the trunk sewer across the National Park Service property is continuing. A draft environmental assessment for the project is 95 percent complete. A meeting for interested public agencies, organizations, and the public to discuss the scope of the environmental assessment is scheduled for October 12, 2006. After the scoping meeting, the draft environmental assessment will be completed and submitted to the National Park Service for review. Staff is preparing a report and procedures for a program to finance sewer extensions and connections in the Alhambra Valley. Staff expects to present this report to the Board of Directors for approval at either the October 19 or November 2, 2006 Board meeting. Announcements 1-7 were presented as a memo in the Board packet. 8) General Manager James Kelly announced that the recently-awarded HVAC Project includes replacing the Board Room roof and air conditioning system. In order to replace the roof before the start of rains, work on the Board Room is scheduled to start on September 22,2006. To facilitate construction, the October 5 and 19, 2006 Board Meetings will be moved to the Multi-Purpose Room. Temporary heating and cooling in the Board Room should be operational by the first Board Meeting in November. The permanent h~ating and cooling system will be completed by April 2007. General Manager James Kelly announced that, several months ago, the tenant on the Lagiss property advised the District that he was retiring from the cattle business and would no longer need the property. He introduced staff to Wade Jarvis, another Blum Road resident, who was interested in leasing the property. The Real Estate Committee directed staff to meet with a group of Blum Road residents to discuss options. This meeting was held on August 28, 2006, and the people who attended were very comfortable with Mr. Jarvis's proposal to have cattle grazing on the property. On September 15, 2006, Mr. Jarvis signed a 5-year lease for the Lagiss property. Each party is allowed the right to terminate the lease for any reason with thirty days' written notice. 9) Book 55 - Pa~e 15 Board Minutes of September 21, 2006 10) General Manager James Kelly announced that, on the weekend of September 16 and 17,2006, the Treatment Plant experienced an upset. The final effluent deteriorated to the point that staff began routing the final effluent to the holding basins on Sunday. Approximately 30 million gallons of final effluent were sent to the holding basins before the plant recovered and was able to reliably meet NPDES permit requirements. The Plant is now back to normal operations. All of the holding basins have been drained back to the plant and processed, and no permit violations occurred. The cause of the upset is unknown and staff is investigating possible causes. Use of the basins in warm weather can cause odors and the plant received one call concerning an unusual odor. --- b.

CONSIDER AUTHORIZING THE GENERAL MANAGER TO PURCHASE NATURAL GAS IN LIEU OF LANDFILL GAS FOR THE PERIOD COMMENCING NOVEMBER 1. 2006 AND ENDING NO LATER THAN JUNE 30. 2007 '--- General Manager James Kelly stated that, due to the uncertainties associated with condensate in the landfill gas and the "notice to terminate the Gas Sales Agreement" received from Bulldog Gas and Power, staff would like to have the authority to purchase natural gas in lieu of landfill gas, if necessary, and at favorable market conditions. He stated that the Board may wish to impose a limit of $9 per BTU. Plant Operations Division Manager Doug Craig presented a report, stating that the agreement with Bulldog expires on November 1, 2006, and they issued a Notice of Termination on July 25,2006 effective November 2,2006. The Notice relates to Bulldog's concern regarding the condensate in the landfill gas. On September 20, 2006 Bulldog rescinded the Notice of Termination. More than 3,000 gallons of condensate were removed at CCCSD, which can affect instruments and incinerator operation. Bulldog stopped delivering gas on July 22,2006 to address the issue, and they anticipate completion of the project by late September or early October. Options before the Board are to accept the request to rescind the Notice of Termination, or to consider a District Notice of Termination at a future Board meeting and renegotiate the agreement. He concluded that staff recommends the Board accept the rescission of the Notice of Termination, monitor progress on the removal of condensate, and authorize staff to purchase natural gas, if necessary, to supplement or replace landfill gas if condensate remains an issue. '- Member Lucey stated that the Board should give the purchasing authority to the General Manager as requested. He stated that the District should not be dependent upon Bulldog Gas and Power. Member Boneysteele inquired about the depletion rate of the gas fields. Nick Ferris, President of Bulldog Gas and Power, explained the availability of landfill gas in the gas fields and stated that 10-15 years of production can be expected on the east Book 55 - Page 17 Board Minutes of September 21,2006 parcel. He estimated that Bulldog could guarantee ten years of quality gas. He explained the condensate issue and steps taken to address it. He stated that he feels the problem is being addressed, and for that reason requested that the Notice of Termination be withdrawn. Member Lucey requested that staff agendize, within the next month or so, the possibility of issuing a 90-day notice to Bulldog Gas and Power. He asked that Plant Operations and Purchasing review the existing contract. Member Hockett stated that she did not currently support issuing a 90-day notice but agreed that the cost of the contract should be reviewed and additional facts obtained. -... Member Lucey stated that he would like the matter agendized for Board discussion at a future meeting. He asked that additional information be provided and requested that the Purchasing Division be included in any gas purchase decisions.
