ISSUE: The Plant Operations Department proposes to make certain
organizational changes in the Plant Maintenance Division's Machine Shop
Section in order to evaluate changing work requirements and long-term
Di stri ct needs.
BACKGROUND: The work load and assignments of the Machine Shop Section
have changed somewhat as a resul t of the changi ng nature of Treatment
Plant operation. The retirement of John Walter has reduced the staff of
the Machine Shop Section staff to two individuals and has caused the
Plant Maintenance Division to evaluate the duties and responsibilities
now required under conventional, routine operation. The position of
Technical Maintenance Supervisor, Range S73, was initiated due to John
Walter's unique mechanical ability and the critical maintenance tasks he
performed with the start-up of the District's Treatment Plant. Now this
position should be reclassified to Machine Shop Supervisor, Range S71,
which woul d be a more appropri ate cl ass, si nce the scope of responsi-
bilities has been reduced with routine operation.
Since John Walter's accident in January of this year, Wayne Miner,
Mach i ni st, has been superv i si ng the operati on of the Treatment Pl ant's
Machine Shop. During this eleven month period, Mr. Miner has demon-
strated outstanding performance in his current duties as outlined in the
attached new class description. The reclassification of Wayne Miner to
Machine Shop Supervisor best fits the needs and future interest of the
Plant Operations Department.
Further, an evaluation of the staffing needs of the Machine Shop Section
will be made by the Plant Maintenance Division Superintendent as more is
known about the workload of this Section due to furnace operation and
scheduled maintenance.
The Machine Shop Section has been reorganized to fulfill its function
with the existing staff; however, during the proposed evaluation period
there are certain classification impacts that need to be addressed in
1 i ght of j ob-rel ated dut i es. Accordi ngl y, the Pl ant Operati ons Depa rt-
ment makes the following recommendations:
1. Delete class description for "Technical Maintenance Supervisor,"
Range S73
REVIEWED AND RECOMMENDED FOR BOARD ACTION
V2
CWB
CR
2. Adopt class description for "Machine Shop Supervisor," Range S71, to
reflect reduction in job responsibilities
3. Reclassify Wayne Miner to the new "Machine Shop Supervisor"
classification. (Mr. Miner is presently performing in this position
and has the necessary qualifications.)
4. Maintain existing "Machinist" classification and incumbent at the
Maintenance Technician III level salary range
5. Evaluate need for the vacant position of Maintenance Technician
III, Machinist
The Pl ant Operati ons Department proposes that the eval uati on be done
before the 1985-86 Personnel Budget and that any request for staffing or
eliminating the Maintenance Technician III, Machinist position be
justified at that time; until that process is completed, the position
will remai n vacant.
Management considers this reclassification to be a unique case and
recognizes that the usual District practice would be to fill such
positions with a competitive examination. In this particular case, it is
recommended that a reclassification procedure be followed because of the
following reasons:
o This is a new position based on the reduction of duties of
"Technical Maintenance Supervisor."
o Outside recruitment would be counter to the goal of possible staff
reduction in the Machine Shop Section.
o Wayne Miner has demonstrated his ability to perform in the "Machine
Shop Supervisor" position.
o The reclassification is consistent with the goal of "promoting from
within when appropriate."
The immediate financial impact of the proposed reorganization is a cost
savings of $3,105/mo; however, the eval uati on to be done bef"ore the
1985-86 personnel budget will affect future cost savings. The proposed
new and the old organization chart of the Machine Shop Section are
presented in Attachment I; the new class description for Machine Shop
Supervisor is presented in Attachment II.
RECX>MMENDATION: Delete the class description for Technical Maintenance
Supervisor, Range S73, and adopt the class description for Machine Shop
Supervisor, Range S71. Reclassify Wayne Miner to the position of Machine
Shop Supervisor, Range S71C, $2,990, effective December 6, 1984.

IINITIAT~NGGINrE(tIING/PLANNING
ISSUE: The Planning Division needs to supplement its staff due to the
increased workload from the Solid Waste Management Project. It is requested
that the Board create an Associate Engineer position for this purpose.
BACKGROUND: At Board direction, the Engineering Department has initi ated a
Solid Waste Management Study. In the course of this study, CCCSD involvement in
County solid waste issues has escalated from a relatively minor level a few
months ago to a significant and growing level today. It appears that it will be
difficult for the District to reduce its activity to the previous level of
involvement in solid waste management after the conclusion of the Solid Waste
Management Project. The following is a sampling of issues that CCCSD is likely
to be drawn into as a result of our activity in the solid waste arena.
o Development of a County or District solid waste management plan.
o Participation in landfill siting, regulation, or franchising issues.
o Participation in transfer station siting, regulation, or franchising
issues.
o Evaluation of a West County Agency waste-to-energy proposal.
o Evaluation and development of a pilot recycling program.
o Working with regulatory agencies concerning the classification of
incinerator ash.
o Negotiation of ash disposal arrangements including ash recycling
alternatives.
o Evaluation of future waste-to-energy alternatives.
The present Engineering Department staffing for the Sol id Waste Management
Project is being allocated from other District work. Important activities are
being delayed because of this allocation of resources to solid waste matters.
Activities which are being delayed or deferred include the rates and charges
update, watershed planning, San Ramon Valley trunk line construction, Martinez
sewer system rehabilitation, financial planning for future capital needs, and
grants management. Because of this backlog, the Engineering Department cannot

continue to support the present level of solid waste activity after February
1985 without serious impacts on our ability to prudently manage the District's
wastewater activities.
The Engineering Department proposes to create an Associate Engineer position
(S-77, $3,134/mo. to $3,797/mo.) to deal with solid waste management issues
wh i ch have emanated from the Soli d Waste Management Project as we 11 as the
baseload of solid waste matters such as ash classification. We would intend to
hire an individual experienced in solid waste engineering for the position. At
a later date, should the Board of Directors decide to make a final commitment to
develop a landfill, there would be additional staffing requirements at that
time.
Funds are not budgeted in the 1984-85 Engineering Department budget for this
position. However, the Engineering Department is currently capitalizing a
higher level of salaries than expected. Consequently, there should be no net
budgetary O&M impact from the additi ona 1 Associ ate Engineer pos ition thi s
fiscal year.
RECOMMENDATION: Authorize an additional Associate Engineer position in the
Planning Division (S-77, $3,134/mo. to $3,797/mo.).

Issue: It is requested that Felix Espinosa, Utility Worker in the Plant
Operations Department receive an additional three-month medical leave of absence.
Background: Felix Espinosa is being treated for a medical problem and has
exhausted all of his sick and vacati on 1 eave. Hi s doctor has issued orders for
restricted work for a duration of three months; the Board of Directors approved a
three-month medical leave of absence in August, 1984. The District has been
informed that Mr. Espinosa's condition will now require surgery and that an
additional medical leave of absence will be required.
The class description of Utility Worker primarily involves manual labor and
routine maintenance duties involving cleaning and maintaining buildings, grounds,
landscaping, and equipment. There are no specific tasks available that Mr.
Espinosa can perform that will meet the restraints of the medical restrictions
issued by his doctor.
When Mr. Espinosa has recovered from his operation and obtains a doctor's release
to return to work, he will be taken off of the medical leave of absence.
Recommendation: Authorize an additional three-month leave of absence for Felix
Espinosa, Utility Worker.

James M. Kelly, Planning Division Manager Engineering Department
ISSUE: Organizational changes in the Plant Operations Department and the Planning
Division are proposed to reflect changing work requirements. The proposed changes
are to delete one Maintenance Office Coordinator II position now existing in the
Plant Operations Department and create a new Secretary III position in the Planning
Division.
BACKGROUND: Through implementation of the FMIS System, redistribution of workload
and other administrative improvements, the Plant Operations Department no longer has
a need to fill a vacant Maintenance Office Coordinator II position.
The Planning Division has a need for a Secretary III position to handle the routine
and project administrative workload generated by Division staff. The Planning
Division is responsible for important ongoing District programs such as the EQC
Program, Pretreatment Program, and Watershed Planning. The Division is also under-
taking several large engineering studies including the Solid Waste Management Study
and Grants Administration for the Stage 5A and 5B Projects. The Solid Waste
Management Project alone requires a half-time secretary now. Other future planning
projects include the Rates and Charges Study and the Reclamation Study. The
complexity of the current and future workload of the Planning Division requires a
position at the Secretary III level.
The net long-term financial impact to the District of the proposed organizational
changes is a cost of $143/per month. The effect of these proposed personnel changes
will be no change in authorized personnel for the District.
RECOMMENDATION:
1. Delete one Maintenance Office Coordinator II position, Range G-49 ($1,606/mo.
to $1,939/mo.), from the Plant Operations Department.
2. Authorize a Secretary III position, Range G-52 ($1,723/mo. to $2,082/mo.), in
the Planning Division.

ISSUE: Upon the termination of Gail Koff, the District is left without an Affirmative Action
Compliance Officer.
BACKGROUND: As stated in Chapter 4-20 I of the District Code (Affirmative Action), the
District maintains an Affirmative Action program which, among other things, includes the
development of policies and procedures for communication of the District's Equal Employ-
ment Opportunity policy, identification of areas of under-utilization of minorities by
organizational units in job categories, establishment of goals and objectives by organization
units and job category, and development and execution of action-oriented programs desired to
eliminate under-utilization and further designed to attain established goals and objectives in
our hiring procedures. In order for such a program to be effective, an individual should be
appointed to that responsibility. It is the past practice of the District to appoint the
Personnel Officer to head this activity and that the responsibility be formally delegated by
the Board of Directors by the adoption of an appropriate resolution (see attached).
It is recommended that the Board formally delegate this responsibility to the new Personnel
Officer by adopting the attached resolution.

ISSUE: The District has completed the recruitment activity for the vacant Personnel
Officer position. The candidate who ranked #1 in the selection process has accepted
the position and it is, therefore, appropriate for the Board to make the appointment
as required in Chapter 4 of the District Code.
BACKGROUND: The Executive Recruiting Firm of Thomas N. Williams and Assocs. was
engaged by the District to seek applicants for the Personnel Officer position. The
firm conducted an extensive search for qualified candidates. The top candidates were
interviewed by the Administrative Department Manager, the General Manager-Chief
Engineer, and other management staff. The top ranking candidate was Ms. Cathryn
Radin who has been chosen to fill the vacant position. Ms. Radin is presently the
Administrative Services Officer for the City of Antioch and has an extensive back-
ground in Personnel Administration, Labor Relations, Workers Compensation, and other
personnel-related functions. Moreover, Ms. Radin has held positions with the
National League of Cities, the City of Monterey, California, and the County of
Fairfax, Virginia; in all of these positions, she exercised management direction over
public agency personnel programs. Ms. Radin is a graduate of University of
California at Davis (with honors) in Political Science and, as well, has a Masters of
Public Administration from George Washing University, Washington D.C. It is felt
that Ms. Radin will be an excellent complement to the District's management group.
This position paper recommends that the Board delegate the authority to the General
Manager-Chief Engineer to appoint Ms. Radin to the position of Personnel Officer,
contingent upon successful completion of a physical examination.
Ms. Radin is scheduled to begin her duties on August 20, 1984. It is recommended that
the starting salary be set at $3,149/Mo.; the beginning point of the M-39 salary
range ($3,149-$3,827/Mo.)
RECOMMENDATION: Delegate to the General Manager-Chief Engineer authority to appoint

SUBMITTED BY

INITIATING DEPT./DIV.
Engineering
ISSUE: The Engineering Department proposes to make organizational changes in the Survey
Section and the Engineering Support Section in order to eliminate an unnecessary position and
adjust the organization of the department to changing work requirements.
BACKGROUND:
Survey Section
Changes in the growth patterns and sewering needs of the District have reduced the workload
and modified the role of the Survey Section. The assignments and duties of the Survey Section
members have evolved in response to these changes. The retirement of Wendle Whipple (the
Supervising Surveyor) has reduced the staff of the Survey Section from five to four and has
caused management to re-evaluate the organization of the survey function.
The Survey Section has been reorganized to fulfill its mission with a staff of four. This
reorganization has proven to be successful over the past two months, thus, it is not necessary
to recruit a fifth member of the section. However, the redistribution of job duties has caused
classification impacts which need to be addressed. Accordingly, Ralph Anderson Associates
has been retained to update job classifications for the Survey Section personnel and to
recommend appropriate salary adjustments to reflect changes in classification. The Ralph
Anderson report has been received and makes the following recommendations:
I. Supervising Surveyor
a. Retitle and revise class description to "Survey Supervisor" to reflect a reduction in
job responsibi Iities.
b. Set salary of this class to a minimum of 10% above the Survey Party Chief class.
c. Reclassify Larry Shirkey (presently Senior Survey Technician) to the new Survey
Supervisor classification. (Mr. Shirkey is presently performing in this class and has
the nessary qualifications including a Land Surveyors License.).
2. Survey Party Chief
a. Change class description to reflect change in supervision, no change in incumbent.
b. Set salary range a minimum of 10% above the Senior Survey Technician class.

3. Senior Survey Technician
a. Revise class description to reflect recent changes in job responsibilities due to the
reorganization.
b. Reclassify James Ruetenik to Senior Survey Technician. (Mr. Ruetenik is presently
performing in this class and has the necessary qualifications.).
c. Set salary range a minimum of 10% above the Survey Technician class.
4. Survey Technician
a. No change to class description or incumbent
b. Retain present salary range
The Engineering Department proposes that the recommendations of the Ralph Anderson survey
classification update be implemented and that salaries be set as follows:
I. Survey Supervisor - Lower salary range from S-77 ($3,134/Mo. to $3,797/Mo.) to S-76
($3,062/Mo. to $3,706/Mo.). .
2. Survey Party Chief - Leave salary range at G-72 ($2,771 /Mo. to $3,3S6/Mo.).
3. Senior Survey Technician - Lower salary range from G-69 ($2,581 /Mo. to $3,120/Mo.). to
G-68 ($2,SI9/Mo. to $3,048/Mo.).
4. Survey Technician - Leave salary range at G-64 ($2,290/Mo. to $2,771 /Mo.).
It should be noted that usual District practice would be to fill the Survey Supervisor position
with a competitive examination. In this particular case, it is recommended that a
reclassification procedure be followed because of the following reasons:
o Only one District employee in the Survey Section has the required Land Surveyor's
License for the position.
o Outside recruitment wOl,Jld be counter to the goal of reducing unnecessary staff in the
Survey Section.
o The reorganization and redistribution of job duties in the Survey Section justifies a
reclassification.
o Larry Shirkey has demonstrated his ability to perform in the Supervising Surveyor
position.
o The reclassification is consistent with the goal of "promoting from within."
Management considers this reclassification recommendation to be a unique special case
unlikely to be often recommended in the future.
REVIEWED AND RECOMMENDED FOR SOARD ACTION
INITIATING OEPT./OIV.
GEN. MGR./CHIEF ENG.
The long range financial impact of the proposed reorganization is a cost savings of $2,934/Mo.
The old and a proposed new organization chart of the Survey Section are presented in
A ttachment I. New class descriptions for Survey Supervisor, Survey Party Chief, and Senior
Survey Technician are presented in Attachments 2-4.
Engineering Support Section
The Engineering Support Supervisor position has become vacant. The job is presently being
performed by David Baldi on a provisional appointment. Additional responsibilities have been
assigned to the class for overseeing and supervising the compilation and revision of maps for
the collection system and as-built drawings of the plant. Ralph Anderson was retained to
recommend a salary range for the Engineering Support Supervisor class so that the salary could
be fixed before recruitment begins. (The standard recruitment activity will first provide an
opportunity for employees to apply for the position).
Ralph Anderson has recommended that the salary range for Engineering Support Supervisor be
revised upward to permit a minimum differential of 10% above the Engineering Technician III
class. The Engineering Department proposes that this recommendation be implemented by
increasing the salary level for Engineering Support Supervisor from G-66 ($2,401-$2,907 /Mo.)
to G-68 ($2,519-$3,048/Mo.). The long term financial impact of this action wi II be a cost to
the District of $1 55/Mo.
The net long term financial impact to the District for the proposed organizational changes in
the Survey Section and the Engineering Support Section is a savings of $2,793/Mo.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
I. J\dopt the new class description of Survey Supervisor and set the salary range at S 76
($3,062/Mo. to $3,706/Mo.). Delete the class description for Supervising Surveyor.
2. Adopt the new class description for Survey Party Chief with no change in salary range.
Delete the old class description for Survey Party Chief.
3. Adopt the new class description for Senior Survey Technician and set the salary range at
G-68 ($2,519 /Mo. to $3,048/Mo.). Delete the old class description for Senior Survey
Technician.
4. Increase the salary range for Engineering Support Supervisor from G-66 ($2,401-
$2,907/Mo.) to G-68 ($2,5 19/Mo.-$3,048/Mo.).
5. Reclassify Larry Shirkey to Survey Supervisor S76-C at a salary of $3,370/Mo., effective
August 3, 1984.
6. Reclassify James Ruetenik to Senior Survey Technician G68-D at a salary of $2,907/Mo.,
effective August 3, 1984.

SUBMITTED BY INITIATING DEPT./DIV.
Gall Koff, Personnel Officer Administrative/Personnel
ISSUE: It Is the practice of the Affirmative Action Compliance Officer
to annually apprise the Board of Directors on the status of the
District's Affirmative Action Program.
RACKG~I~O: In March 1976, the Board of Directors adopted Ordinance No.
114, which addresses the District's posture on Affirmative Action and
Equal Opportunity. In summary, the ordinance ensures that al I District
personnel activities wll I be consistent pursuant to Executive Order 11246
and the Civil Rights Act of 1964.
From 1976 through 1982, the committee's ma In obJectl ve was to mon Itor
compliance with statutory regulations regarding Affirmative Actlon/EEO
Issues. In late 1982, with the District's work force statistics showing
a need for Improvement In relationship with the County's ethnic work
force stat I st I cs, a dec I s I on by the comm I ttee was reached that more
emphas I s wou I d be req u I red I f a sign I f I cant I mpact I n our work force
composition were to be achieved. It was also agreed that the committee
shou I d channe I I ts act I v I ties and energ I es I n areas where rea I
Improvement cou I d be rea II zed. Membersh I p with I n the comm I ttee opened
and those prev lous comm I ttee members no longer I nterested In
participating resigned and employees committed to affirmative action
requested to become part of the Affirmative Action Committee. Over the
past two years, the following activities and achievements have been
realized:
o The D I str I ct became a member of the Ca II forn I a Assoc I at I on of
Affirmative Action Officers, a resource training and networking
organization. Three of the six member committee have attended
the annual conference sponsored by this organization.
o A line Item has been In Operations and Maintenance Budget since
1983-1984 for affirmative action activities.
o All Affirmative Action Committee members attended a workshop
where Affirmative Action Committee responsibilities and duties
were discussed at length.
REVIEWED AND RECOMMENDED FOR BOARD ACTION
o Affirmative Action Committee members developed a pol Icy
addressing sexual harassment which was approved by the Board of
Directors In March 1984.
o Affirmative Actlon/EEO Laws and Regulations and the avoidance
of sexua I harassment were the two top I cs of attent I on at the
twice-yearly Management Educational Series Program.
o . Recru I tment for the 1983 Student Summer Project Program was
Intensified to attract qualified minority and women applicants.
As a resu I t of th I s actl v Ity, over 40 percent of all summer
hires during 1983 were minority or women.
o The 1984 Student Summer Work Program was even more successful
than 1983. Over 45 percent of a II students emp I oyed were
minority and women and many women and men were hired In
non-traditional occupations.
o With permanent employment opportunities at their highest peak
since 1979, Affirmative -Action Committee members are actively
Informing qualified Individuals within their own communities of
the vacancies. This "word of mouth" recruitment by employees
Is one of the most effective means to attract minority
app I I cants.
o

an EEO/Afflrmatlve Action Reference Library have been
Appropriate literature and audio-visual aids

o The Affirmative Action Committee with assistance from
department managers, Is reviewing various classifications for
educational requirements at the District. This wll I provide
an opportunity for present and future employees to determine
required courses of study prior to announcements of position
vacancies to Improve minority employees chances for qualifying
for positions when vacancies occur.
These accomp I I shments over the past two years are I nd I cat I ve of the
present commitment of the Affirmative Action Committee. It Is also
recognized that a continued aggressive recruitment effort towards
attracting more minority and female applicants Is absolutely essential If
the District's responsibility of achieving parity with the Contra Costa
County's work force statistics Is to be realized.

TYPE OF ACTION
PERSONNEL
Department
ISSUE: The District recommends that the Purchasing & Materials Officer position be
placed within the Management Group effective July 1, 1984.
BACKGROUND: In June 1979, Mr. Ken Laverty was hired to perform the duties of
Purchasing & Materials Supervisor for the Plant Operations Department. The responsi-
bil ities of the position at that time were to plan, assign, supervise, and participate
in the Plant Operations Department's purchasing and warehousing activities.
In July, 1981, the District reorganized all of its administrative service functions
into one department. The impact of this reorganization affected Mr. Laverty's position
and section more so than any other service functions in that the Purchasing area and
Mr. Laverty, in particular, were required to expand Purchasingls scope of responsibil ity
District wide to serve all departments. Mr. Laverty's salary range has been unchanged
since his initial position in which he had purchasing responsibil ities for only the
Plant Operations Department.
Central izing the Purchasing Section required the development of systems to accommodate
and yet provide control to al I District departments. Some of the more major systems
controls developed include:
o The development of a Purchasing & Materials Standards/Procedure manual,
o a direct invoice receipt system,
o a furniture and equipment inventory tagging system,
o development of both a purchasing and inventory control FMIS computerized
system, and
o formal ized service and construction contracts for the nonpubl ic bid
requirements.
It has also become apparent that Mr. Laverty is managing at a level comparable to
other management positions at the District. He manages the largest section
within the Administrative Department; his authorized signature limit for purchase
orders/contracts is exceeded only by the General Manager-Chief Engineer, Administrative
Department Manager, and Plant Operations Department Manager; and he performs a
significant role in conferring with and advising other managers in his area of
expertise.
Mr. Laverty's recommended reclassification will have I imited, if any, cost
imp1 ications. It is recommended that he laterally move into the management
designation. On the one hand, as a manager, Mr. Laverty would receive $65.00 more
per month on the Benefit Option Plan and an increased Long-Term Disability Program;
while on the other hand, Mr. Laverty would lose two days of Administrative leave
and overtime pay on those occasions where working beyond normal hours is required.
Accordingly, the Management Range recommended (the closest management range to his
present range) will provide the possibi1 ity of a 3.25 percent increase one year
from July as a result of his annual performance review. This modest increase will
offset the loss of leave and overtime pay which will result.
The provisions of Chapter 4 require an agreement with the Management Support/
Confidential Group (MS/CG) when designating a position from their representation
unit to another. A letter from MS/CG is attached indicating their agreement with
the staff recommendation.
RECOMMENDATION: (1) Delete present class description of Purchasing and Materials
Officer, salary range S76 ($3062 - $3706); (2) adopt new class description of
Purchasing and Materials Officer, salary range M39 ($3149 - $3827); (3) designate
the Purchasing and Materials Officer position as management; and (4) adopt a
resolution reclassifying Mr. Ken Laverty into the management 1eye1 position of
Purchasing and Materials Officer at his present salary of $3,706 effective July 1,
1984.

ADDITION OF TWO OPTIONS TO THE BENEFIT OPTION PLAN
FOR THE PLAN YEAR BEGINNING MAY 1, 1984
BENEFIT OPTION PLAN
SUBMITTED BY
Walter N. Funasaki
INITIATING DEPT./DIV.
Administrative Department
ISSUE: Two new options are proposed for inclusion in the District's
Benefit Option Plan without increasing Plan expense.
BACKGROUND: The Board of Directors approved the establishment of the
District's Benefit Option Plan for management and management support/
confidential personnel as of November 1, 1981. Benefit amounts which
are credited to each participant's account were establ ished for both
personnel groups for each of the three compensation years covered by
the present agreements. The following options are now available to
participants to allocate the fixed monthly credits:
o Individual Term Life Insurance Program
o Deferred Compensation Plan Program
o Annual Physical Examination
o Increased Dental Orthodontic Reimbursement
o Family Visual Eye Care Reimbursement
o Medical Deductible Reimbursement
o Physical Fitness Program
o Purchase Prior Military and Public Service
Time
The two options which are proposed to be added as of May 1, 1984, the
start of the next Benefit Option Plan year, are described below:
Tuition Reimbursement in Pursuit of a College Degree
The District seeks to encourage employees to further their
training and education for the purpose of improving their on-
the-job performance through its present tuition refund policy.
The present policy provides a maximum tuition refund of $300
per fiscal year to all District employees for coursework and
textbooks within the scope of the employee's employment field
and job responsibilities.
Under this proposed benefit option, participants would be able
to allocate all, or a portion, of their benefit amount for
reimbursement of tuition for coursework in pursuit of an
associate, bachelor, master, or doctorate degree from an

accredited college or university. It is intended that this
proposed option could be used in conjunction with the present
tuition refund pol icy, if the requirements under that pol icy
of job relatedness are met. This benefit option would promote
improved employee development and performance, and enhance
recruitment efforts.
Hearing Aids Reimbursement
The majority of the options within the District's Benefit Option
Plan is provided to promote the health and well-being of
participants; i.e. annual physical examination, increased dental
orthodontics, family visual care, medical deductible reimburse-
ment, and physical fitness program. This proposed option would
include reimbursement for the cost of hearing aids and related
app1 iances. While charges by physicians for examination and
diagnosis of hearing difficulties are covered by the District's
medical and health plans, the cost of hearing aids is not.
RECOMMENDATION: Approve the addition of the following two options
to the District's Benefit Option Plan at no additional expense:
(1) Tuition Reimbursement in Pursuit of a College Degree; (2) Hearing
Aids Reimbursement.

DESIGNA TE YVONNE BROWN, ADMINISTRA TIVE ASSISTANT, TO
CONFIDENTIAL STATUS UNDER THE JOB TITLE OF ADMINIS-
STRATIVE SECRETARY, EFFECTIVE 5/1/84
TYPE OF ACTION
PERSONNEL
SUBMITTED BY
Paul Morsen
INITIATING DEPT./DIV.
Administrative Department
ISSUE: In accordance with Chapter 4 of the District Code, District Management requests that
the Board designate Yvonne Brown as a confidential Administrative Secretary.
BACKGROUND: During the past year, since the majority of our employees moved from our
Walnut Creek location to Martinez, a problem has been identified within our Collection Systems
Operations Department: there is no confidentially designated position within that department.
Due to the physical separation of the Collection Systems Operations Department from the rest
of the District, and because of the number of employees that work in that department, it is
necessary to have one secretarial employee designated confidential in order to process
grievances, meet and confer material, discussion records, and other documents related to
employer/employee relations. Obviously, such work requires access, in the course of the
involved secretary's duties, to confidential information on employer/employee relations. The
person so designated would, therefore, be appropriately designated Management Support/Confi-
dential in keeping with the definition contained in the District Code, Chapter 4, Section 702d.
Chapter 4 of the District Code, which was the subject of meet and confer between both
representation groups and management in January and February of 1982, outlines the steps
necessary to solve this problem:
"The Administrative Department Manager, using the criteria set forth in this ordinance,
shall make the initial determination of all questions that may arise as to whether
classifications or employees included in a representation unit are in fact Management,
Professional, Management Support/Confidential Employees, or General Employees. Any
action of the Administrative Department Manager in determining issues contained in this
section which are not satisfactory to the employee organization(s), shall be resolved in
the meet and confer process, and where that process fails, to the State Conciliation
Service as described in Section 3507.1 of the Meyers-Milias-Brown Act."
In keeping with the responsibilities outlined above, I have determined that it is in the best
interests of the District to designate Yvonne Brown confidential. I have, furthermore,
contacted both the Public Employees Union Local No.1 and the Management Support/Confiden-
tial Group. Both representation groups have replied that they have no problems with this
proposal (see attached letters). Accordingly, it is now appropriate for the Board to act on the
matter.
RECOMMENDATION: Designate Yvonne Brown a confidential employee by reclassifying her
to Administrative Secretary (Range S 60-0, $2,411), effective May 1, 1984, and delete her
present classification of Administrative Assistant (Range G 60-0, $2,401). Note: salary figures
quoted are those to be in effect May 1, 1984, the beginning of the last year of the three-year
labor agreement.

1SSl..E: The District has analyzed its personnel staffing needs for 1984-1985 and is submitting
its requests for Board consideration and approval.
BACKGRCll..tIID: Each department has reviewed its staffing requirements for 1984-1985. The
Personnel Budget includes a memorandum from each department (Attachments II, III, and IV)
with detailed explanation as to how these recommended staffing changes will affect the
department's organization.
(
The attached summary sheet (Attachment I) highlights each department's staffing recommenda-
tions and summarizes their effect on total authorized positions in the District. As shown in the
summary, the total number of authorized positions in the District will not change as a result of
implementing the recommended 1984-1985 Personnel Budget in that the number of requested
new positions (eight) is offset by the same number of positions recommended to be deleted
(eight). It cannot be assumed that there will be no increase in salaries and wages for the
forthcoming year. It is anticipated that the 1984-1985 Operations & Maintenance Budget of
affected departments will be greater than actual salaries and wages in 1983-1984 because of
the net effect of the following:
o The third year salary increases provided for in the District's labor agreements will be
effective May 1,1984.
o Step raises occurring in 1984-1985.
o The filling in 1984-1985 of authorized positions left vacant in 1983-1984.
o Positions recommended for deletion in 1984-1985 may have been left vacant and
lrIbudgeted in 1983-1984.
o Positions authorized in 1983-1984 may not have been budgeted for the full year due to
anticipated recruitment efforts and time required to fill position.
The Personnel Budget, if approved, requires the following Board actions:
EnQineerinQ and Construction Department
1. Authorize one additional position of Senior Engineer, S-82, $3,535 - $4,274.

The increase in total requested positions is primarily attributable to the
Engineering & Construction Department request. As described in the attachment,
it is anticipated that the hiring of temporary draftspersons will assist in greatly
reducing the department1s mapping backlog.
It is recommended that the hourly rate for seasonal help (persons not having special
qual ifications or prior experience at the District) be maintained at $5 per hour
and the rate for persons having special qualifications and/or prior experience with
the District be maintained at $6 per hour. The $9/hour and $ll/hour categories are
also recommended to be maintained for those persons who are about to graduate from
college or who are graduate students and would offer specialized experience to the
District. Last year we received authorization to hire 32 persons for our summer
program and 30 the previous year.
The approximate cost of this action will be $190,000 to be drawn from departmental
o & M budgets.
RECOMMENDATION: Approve the hiring of 40 persons for seasonal summer employment.

ISSLE: The Board of Directors created the Planning Division Manager position on January 19,
1984. The Engineering and Construction Department is now ready to recommend that the
position be filled.
BACKGROl.J\ID: Upon the Board of Directors' creation of the Planning Division Manager
position, the District hired an executive recruiting firm (Thomas N. Williams & Associates) to
seek qualified candidates. The firm conducted an extensive state-wide search for the position.
A list of five top applicants was created and the top candidates were interviewed by staff.
James Kelly has been chosen as the top candidate for the position.
Mr. Kelly is presently a Principal Engineer with the James M. Montgomery Engineering firm
located in Walnut Creek, California. Mr. Kelly has a Masters Degree in Civil Engineering and
12 years of experience in the sanitary engineering field. He has worked with the Los Angeles
Co. Sanitation Districts and the CHZM Hill consulting engineering firm. He also worked on the
San Francisco Bay Region Wastewater Solids Study, which recommended solids disposal
alternatives for CCCSD. Mr. Kelly is extremely capable in the areas of planning, project
management, and design, and will be an excellent complement to the management group.
This position paper recommends that the Board delegate the authority to the General
Manager-Chief Engineer to appoint Mr. Kelly to the position of Planing Division Manager,
contingent on successful completion of a physical examination. Mr. Kelly has indicated that he
will be available to start work in mid-April. It is recommended that the starting salary be set
at $4,534/Mo., the mid-point of the M-26 salary range ($4,093/Mo.-$4,976/Mo.).
RECOMMENDATION: Delegate to the General Manager-Chief Engineer authority to appoint
James Kelly to the Planning Division Manager position at the M-26 salary range with the
starting salary of $4,534/Mo.

SUBJECT:
DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLAN EMERGENCY WITHDRAWAL REQUEST
Board approval is required for emergency withdrawals from the Deferred
Compensation Plan.
Larry Shepardson, Materials Coordinator II, was granted a four-month
medical leave of absence by the Board of Directors effective
February 21,1984. He had exhausted all sick leave and vacation
balances before the start of his leave of absence. He underwent surgery
for his medical condition on March 7, 1984 and is recuperating.
As he is required to vacate his present dwelling because it is being
razed, Larry Shepardson has requested an emergency withdrawal of
$1,200 from his deferred compensation plan account to be used to
relocate to new quarters. The Deferred Compensation Plan Advisory
Committee has reviewed this emergency withdrawal request and recommends
its approval.
A position paper for this emergency withdrawal request has been prepared
for the March 15, 1984 Board agenda. This document is being submitted
under separate cover to preserve the confidentiality of information
submitted in the application for emergency withdrawal.

ADOPT RESOLUTION REGARDING SEXUAL HARASSMENT
Adopt Resolution
SUBMITTED BY
Gail Koff, Personnel Officer
INITIATING DEPT./DIV.
Administrative/Personnel
ISSUE: A District policy addressing sexual harassment is appropriate.
BACKGROUND: Within the past three months the Affirmative Action Committee
has attended seminars where the topic of discussion was sexual harassment
in the work place. Corbett, Kane, Berk & Barton, our labor attorneys, have
also advised their clients that it is in their best interest to have a sexual
harassment policy. Copies of appropriate policy statements were provided, and
it was recommended that every organization have a formal document addressing
the matter of sexual harassment in the work place.
The Affirmative Action Committee recognizes that besides being unlawful,
sexual harassment debilitates morale and interferes in the work productivity
of its victims and their co-workers. All District employees must be allowed
to work in an environment free from solicited and unwelcomed sexual overtures.
The committee, using much resource material recommended by the District's
attorneys and provided at the above-mentioned seminars, developed a policy
which addresses all of the areas identified by the Equal Employment Opportunity
Commission as being sexual harassment, as well as providing a procedure to be
utilized by an employee if such conduct cannot be immediately remedied. This
policy will be communicated to the District's supervisors in the upcoming
March 1984 Management Educational Series Program and will be communicated to
the employees immediately thereafter.
RECOMMENDATION: Adopt Resolution No. , A Resolution Adopting a Policy
Prohibiting Sexual Harassment in the Work Environment.

A RESOLUTION ADOPTING A POLICY
PROHIBITING SEXUAL HARASSMENT IN THE WORK ENVIRONMENT
WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of the Central Contra Costa Sanitary
District bel ieves that sexual harassment has no place in the work environment;
and
WHEREAS, under federal and state law, sexual harassment of employees
i sill ega 1 .
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that it is against the District's pol icy
"-
for any employee or other person to subject another employee or other person
to sexual harassment. Acts of sexual harassment, which are prohibited by this
pol icy, include but are not 1 imited to: unwelcome sexual activity of another
employee; and other verbal or physical conduct of a sexual nature (e.g., lewd
comments, or gestures; unwanted intentional physical contact of a sexual
nature; the display in the workplace of sexually suggestive objects or
pictures) when:
a) submission to such conduct is made either expl icitly or impl icitly
a term or condition of an individual's employment;
b) submission to or rejection of such conduct by an individual is
used as the basis for employment decisions affecting such individual;
c) such conduct is offered in order to receive special treatment or in
exchange for or in consideration of any personnel action;
d) such conduct has the purpose or effect of unreasonably interfering
with an individual's work performance or creating an intimidating,
hostile, or offensive working environment.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that retal iation against any employee for refusing
a sexual advance, for refusing a request, demand, or subtle pressure for sexual
favors or activity, or for reporting an incident of possible sexual harassment
to the District is also prohibited;
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that if anyone engages in such conduct, that
offending person should be told immediately and firmly by the employee that
the conduct is considered offensive. Any continued acts of sexual harassment
should be immediately reported to a Supervisor, Department Manager, or
Personnel Officer. After investigation, appropriate discipl inary and/or
corrective action will be instituted against anyone found to have violated
this pol icy.

INITIATING DEPT./DIV.
Administrative/Clerical Support
ISSUE: There are 2 vacancies in the Clerical Support Section. It is proposed
that one Secretary I I I position be deleted and a new position of Receptionist
be estab1 ished.
BACKGROUND: As a result of the recent retirement of Julie (Vernon) Thompson,
Secretary I I I, and the lateral transfer of Ruth Sasaki, Secretary I I I, from
the Clerical Support Section to the Engineering and Construction Department,
there exist5two vacant Secretary I I I positions within the Administrative
Department. These vacancies provided an opportunity to review and evaluate
the organizational structure of the Clerical Support Section. The results of
this evaluation indicated that the main receptionist duties do not entail the
scope or knowledge required of our present classification of Secretary I, I I,
or I I I. Therefore, it appears appropriate to develop a new classification to
accurately describe the duties and responsibilities associated with the main
receptionist desk. After conducting an outside salary survey of receptionist
salaries, Range G43 ($1305-1574) is an appropriate salary range for this
position. A Job Description covering the receptionist duties is Attachment A.
This proposed staffing change would delete one Secretary I I I position and
establish one Receptionist position. Because of the salary differential
between Secretary I I I and the Receptionist positions, the District should
anticipate an annual savings of approximately $7500, and realize a more
efficient clerical operation for the District. (See Attachment B)
The second Secretary I I I position vacant within the Clerical Support Section
is being left unfilled at the present time as the staffing of this position
is being reviewed within the Administrative Department. It is intended that
a recommendation regarding this position would be included in the 1984-1985
personnel budget.
RECOMMENDATION: Delete one authorized position of Secretary III (Range G52,
$1610-1946); adopt the class description of Receptionist (Range G43, $1305-1574);
and establ ish one authorized position of Receptionist.

CREATE THE MANAGEMENT POSITION OF ADMINISTRATIVE OPERATIONS
MANAGER, MAKE APPOINTMENT THERETO, AND PROVIDE FOR INCREASE Personnel
IN RESPONSIBiliTY FOR ADMINISTRATIVE DEPARTMENT MANAGER
SUBMITTED BY Roger J. Do an INITIATING DEPT./DIV.
General Mana er-Chief En ineer Administrative
ISSUE: With the January 13, 1984 retirement of Dave Niles, Deputy General
Manager, a vacancy exists in the District's risk and 1 itigation management
efforts.
BACKGROUND: Since being advised of Mr. Niles' pending retirement, District
management has pursued several alternative means of staffing the District's
risk and 1 itigation management functions which were the Deputy General
Manager's primary responsibil ity. This has entailed evaluating potential
incumbents with legal backgrounds, insurance backgrounds, and backgrounds
in claims administration.
Among candidates whose qual ifications and background were reviewed with
regard to the assumption of the duties was Mr. Jack E. Campbell. Mr. Campbell
has experience in working with attorneys in his present position, in managing
risk, insurance and claims activities, and moreover due to his long years of
service as a Director of the District, has an intimate famil iarity with the
District's complex and often tangled 1 itigation caseload. Due to Mr. Campbell's
skill and experience as a manager, the positional responsibil ities have been
broadened under the job title of Administrative Operations Manager.
This position paper then recommends that the Board appoint Jack E. Campbell to
the position of Administrative Operations Manager and adopt the attached job
description which outl ines the expected duties in detail. A resolution is
necessary for the appointment of an individual within the Management Group and
an appropriate one is attached for the Board's consideration.
As well, considerable thought has been given to the appropriate placement of
the individual within the District's organizational structure. While this
position entails a good deal of coordinative efforts with and between other
departments and outside entities, it is in large part an administrative function.
It is therefore proposed that the risk and 1 itigation management function remain
in the Administrative Department, as was the case when it was in Mr. Niles'
charge. A proposed change with a new incumbent is that the position would
report to the Administrative Department Manager for better coordination of
responsibil ity. Due to the increase in responsibil ity that will fall upon
the Administrative Department Manager, it is further recommended that Mr. Morsenls
salary be adjusted upwards by 10% and be set within Management Range Number 20
(Present salary M-26 $4818/New salary M-20 $5300). A new job description for the
Administrative Department Manager showing the increased responsibil ity is attached.

The steps necessary to accompl ish the foregoing are del ineated below in the

RECOMMENDATION: (1) Delete the old job descriptions of Deputy General Manager

the upward adjustment of the Administrative Department Manager's salary to $5300
(M-20); and (4) Adopt Resolution No. appointing Jack E. Campbell to the
position of Administrative Operations Manager, affixing the salary at $4333 per

SU~MITTED BY

INITIATING DEPT./DIV.
Engineering Department
ISSUE: The Engineering and Construction Department intends to enhance its capability in the
planning area by establishing a Planning Division. It is requested that the Board create the new
position of Planning Division Manager to head the Planning Division.
BACKGROUND: The Central Contra Costa Sanitary District is entering a critical time in its
history. The District will face many challenging problems concerning growth, financing, and
increasingly restrictive State and Federal regulations over the next decade. Following is a
partial list of critical issues which must be addressed in the future:
o The increasing rate of light industrial and office development in the District.
o The increasing residential development that will be caused by light industrial develop-
ment, the economic upswing, further suburban development, and increasing housing
density.
o The planned phase-out of Federal funding for "Clean Water" projects.
o The rapidly multiplying Federal and State regulations and enforcement activity
concerning waste disposal, pretreatment of industrial wastes, and effluent quality.
o The resolution of current District grant funding issues and future audit issues.
o The county landfill capacity problem.
o The increasing public and State emphasis on protecting the health of San Francisco
Bay.
o The needed expansion of plant and collection system facilities.
o The need to address collection system rainfall infiltration/inflow and treatment plant
wet weather flow handling capacity.
o The resolution of water reclamation issues.
It is the intention of the Engineering and Construction Department to create a specialized
division to deal with these planning issues. In the recent past, the District has successfully
merged design and planning responsibilities in the Engineering Design group. This allowed for
the efficient interchange of staff between design and planning projects. However, because of
REVIEWED AND RECOMMENDED FOR BOARD ACTION
INITIATING DEPT./DIV.
GEN. MGR./CHIEF ENG.
the high rate of growth in the District, the importance of providing facilities to accommodate
this growth and increasing regulations, we believe that it is necessary, at this time, to organize a
specialized group within the Engineering and Construction Department to deal with these
issues.
One of the major goals of the Planning Division will be to provide the Board of Directors with
information for policy-making on long term planning issues. In order to provide adequate
direction for the Planning Division and to properly address the importance of the planning
function, it is recommended that a Division Manager position be created to head the Planning
Division. The Planning Division Manager would initially have a staff of six to eight persons,
who would be reassigned from other divisions of the Engineering and Construction Department.
The salary range for the Planning Division Manager is recommended to be between the M30
level ($3710-$4510/month) and the M26 level ($4093-$4976/month) depending upon qualifica-
tions. (The Engineering Division Manager and Construction and Services Division Manager
positions are currently at the M26 salary level.) Funds are not budgeted in the 1983-84
Engineering and Construction Department personnel budget for this position. Since the position
would be filled late in the fiscal year, the fiscal year 1983-84 budgetary impact would be
minimal. A class description for Planning Division Manager is attached.
RECOMMENDATION: Create the position of Planning Division Manager in the Engineering and
Construction Department. Authorize the General Manager-Chief Engineer to set the salary
level between M30 ($3710-$4510/month) and the M26 level ($4,093-$4976/month) depending on
the qualifications of the successful applicant.
