DOLAN General Manager-Chief Engineer DATE Apr i I 14, 1983 SUBJECT TYPE OF ACTION QUITCLAIM SEWER EASEMENTS, JOB 3519 SUBDIVISION 5967 APPROVE QUITCLAIM OF EASEMENTS SUBMITTED BY Dennis Hall INITIATING DEPT./DIV. Construction and Services Division ISSUE: The property owners, Pacific Telephone Company, have requested the District to quitclaim the subject easements. BACKGROUND: The subject easements were created on the map of Subdivision 5967 which was filed on June 23, 1981. Sewer mains were then installed within these easements. The Pacific Telephone Company now owns Lots 17 thru 31 of said Subdivision 5967. Pacific's development plans do not fit the existing subdivision and therefore they are going to revert the above Lots 17 thru 31 to acreage. The subject easements also do not fit Pacific's development plans and must be quitclaimed. Pacific Telephone has paid our usual processing fee. RECOMMENDATION: Approval and execution of Quitclaim Deed and authorize its recording. REVIEWED AND RECOMMENDED FOR BOARD ACTION V~ RAB GEN. MGR'/CHIEF ENG. <.C<SD BOARD OF DIRECTORS NO. VI ENG 1 4-21-83 POSITION PAPER VIA: ROGER J. DOLAN General Manager-Chief Engineer DATE Sl!.B.J~T AU I HORIZE $14,000 IN SEWER CONSTRUCTION FUNDS FOR A COMPUTER CONTROL SYSTEM MODIFICATION FEASIBILITY STUDY April 18, 1983 TYPE OF ACTION AUTHORIZA TION OF FUNDS SlJ..BMITTED BY Kobert A. Baker, Manager INITIATING DEPT./DIV. Engineering Department ISSUE: Presently there are two major concerns with the Wastewater Treatment Plant computer control system. First, portions of the computer control system are becoming obsolete making spare parts and manufacturer's support increasingly difficult to procure. Second, the computer control system has not yet lived up to the design intent of reducing the operating manpower necessary to run the wastewater treatment plant. BACKGROl.Jl',ID: As part of the 1982-83 Goals & Objectives, the Plant Operations Department conducted a manpower utilization study which identified various approaches to reduce personnel costs at the wastewater treatment plant. One of the tasks in the study was to investigate methods of improving the labor-saving potential of the computer control system. One promising alternative which was identified was to move the computer control room from the present location in the pump and blower building to a new location in the solids conditioning building. If feasible, this alternative would allow the Plant Operations Department to merge some of the major tasks of a computer operator position and furnace operator position into one combined position. This will address some of the furnace operations manpower requirements. There are significant technical challenges to be resolved if the computer control room is to be relocated. Prudence dictates that any major modification to the computer control system be compatible with long term equipment replacement needs. In addition, this project is particularly difficult because the computer control system has no analog backup, thus can only be out of service for very brief periods of time without risking a wastewater treatment plant upset. However, because of the potentially large cost savings to the District, the feasibility of the project should be assessed. This authorization would fund a thorough feasibility study which would provide the information needed to make a decision on the computer control room relocation project. If a favorable decision is indicated, the Board would be requested to authorize funds for the next stage of the project, the preparation of plans and specifications. The range of costs of the presently identified alternatives for the computer control room relocation project are preliminarily estimated to be from $200,000 to $600,000. The feasibility study will improve the cost estimates and identify a best apparent alternative. RECOMMENDATION: Authorize $14,000 in sewer construction funds for a computer control system modification feasibility study.

Engineering Department BACKGROUND: The Distsrict staff is urgently preparing an application for disaster relief funds. Rules require that elected boards must execute all applications and correspondence or designate an authorized representative. Designation of the General Manager-Chief Engineer as the District's authorized representative would facilitate staff activities in pursuing disaster relief funds. This action is similar to the designation of the General Manager-Chief as the District's authorized representative for clean water grants. RECOMMENDATION: Adopt the attached resolution designating the General Manager-Chief Engineer as the District's authorized representative for FEMA Disaster Relief Funds.
