GENERAL MANAGER 1 ) Report on Contra Costa County Flood Control District's strateav for dealina with sediment build-up in Walnut Creek Channel General Manager James Kelly introduced Mitch Avalon, Deputy Public Works Director. Mr. Avalon gave a presentation on the role and function of the Flood Control District, identifying the key problem and solution, and response to date. He stated that the Flood Control District was formed in 1951 and is staffed by County Public Works employees. It has countywide jurisdiction and an annual budget of $9 million. He described funding sources and stated that the primary source is ad valorem property tax. He stated that the water supply and wastewater have a rate structure, but stormwater does not, which makes it difficult to fund needed projects. The Walnut Creek watershed receives highest amount of revenue from the property taxes. This was a 1958 Corps of Engineers project that has a sedimentation design flaw and needs regular dredging. The Walnut Creek watershed is on the list of poorly maintained levees. The Flood Control District is working with Corps on the hydraulic analysis to find out who is impacted and then come up with interim flood protection measures and have them in place within one year. Book 56 - Page 73 Board Minutes of April 5, 2007 The short-term goal is to complete the hydraulics study and develop interim measures. The mid-term goal is to look at obtaining grants, and the long-term goal is to complete the study with Corps (two to five years) and build a sustainable project in six to ten years. Mr. Avalon stated that the Flood District Board will declare an emergency and allow speeding up of contracting for the interim project. The project will consist of partial dredging and levee enhancement. Board Members stressed the importance of addressing the problem expeditiously to ensure that the District wastewater treatment facilities are not subject to flooding and offered their support. 2) General Manager James Kelly announced that the Purchasing Division will competitively bid the Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) backup system for improvement to the existing Plant Control System UPS at the Solids Conditioning Building. District Project No. 7204, Plant Control System Improvements, will fund the estimated cost of the equipment, which is $25,000. It is anticipated that bids will be returned by April 30, 2007, and a position paper will be brought to the Board for authorization to purchase in May 2007. 3) General Manager James Kelly announced that the current contract with Phillip Services Corporation, who provides household hazardous waste transportation, disposal, and supplemental labor, will expire on September 16, 2007. District staff anticipates advertising a Request for Proposal (RFP) by May 2007, for these services. It is anticipated that proposals will be returned by June 2007. Subsequently, a position paper will be brought to the Board for authorization in July 2007. The draft RFP was reviewed by the Board Household Hazardous Waste Committee. 4) General Manager James Kelly announced that safety is one of the District's highest priorities. Safety improvements at the Treatment Plant are identified by the Plant's safety suggestion program, safety audits, and safety inspections. Through this process, several improvements have been identified. The improvements are designed to improve the safety at the Plant by improving fall protection and providing improved access to equipment at various locations throughout the plant. This project will be advertised on April 13 and 18,2007. The bids will be opened on May 15, 2007. The construction cost is currently estimated at $250,000. 5) General Manager James Kelly announced that the Consumer Price Index (CPI) for Urban Wage Earners for the period February 2006 to February 2007 is 3.2 percent. All employees' increases will be reflected on their May 31, 2007 paychecks. Book 56 - Page 74 Board Minutes of April 5, 2007 6) General Manager James Kelly announced that the Real Estate Committee requested staff to work with the East Bay Regional Park District (EBRPD) to determine its level of interest in the surface portion of the Shell Pipeline right-of- way, and requested the General Manager to contact EBRPD Board Members Radke and Lane to pursue the issue. EBRPD is interested in the Shell Pipeline right-of-way from St. Mary's Road near Lafayette Reservoir to Redwood Regional Park (4 miles). The EBRPD has requested that the District send them a letter granting them permission to access the easements so that they can perform a physical inspection of the right-of-way to determine if the right-of-way is suitable for a trail. The letter granting EBRPD access has been sent. Copies of the letter have been sent to the EBRPD's General Manager, and Board Members Radke and Lane. The District's General Manager will call Board Members Radke and Lane to indicate the District's interest in pursuing this matter, as it appears to be for the greater public good. 7) General Manager James Kelly announced that the City of San Ramon and the District conducted an emergency exercise at the Larwin Pumping Station on Mangos Drive on the morning of Wednesday, March 28,2007. Along with CCCSD crews, the other agencies that took part in the exercise were the San Ramon Police Department, the Fire District, Public Works and Safety Departments. The scenario was a sewer overflow at the pumping station and the emergency response. After notification by San Ramon dispatch, District crews arrived on site; sealed storm drains; set up a Vactor truck; and set up a by-pass at the pumping station. The exercise lasted just over an hour. The exercise was a success, and all four goals (practice the incident command system, providing public information at the site, demonstrate equipment used in the response was adequate, and demonstrate to the residents that the agencies are prepared to respond to a future event) were accomplished. 8) General Manager James Kelly announced that District Management and Counsel met on April 3, 2007 to analyze the District's strengths and needs to meet external challenges and opportunities that the District currently faces. The results of this meeting and the impact it might have on the District's Strategic Plan will be presented at an upcoming Board meeting for the Board's information, input, and direction. 9) General Manager James Kelly announced that the District will take part in the Environmental Fair at the John Muir Earth Day Festival on Saturday, April 21, 2007 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the John Muir National Historic Site located at 4202 Alhambra Avenue in Martinez.

Book 56 - Page 75 Board Minutes of April 5, 2007 10) General Manager James Kelly announced that, of the six properties that were covered by the "Resolution of Necessity" for eminent domain for North Orinda Sewer Renovations, Phase 2.1 (Tarry LaneNan Tassel Lane), DP 5968, the current status is as follows: - Three have been settled with signed documents in hand (21 Snowberry Lane, 10 Katrina Court, and 6 Crane Court); - One has been tentatively settled with signing pending the property owner's legal review of the Agreements (80 Tarry Lane); - One property owner located at 84 Tarry Lane is considering the District's current offer; and - The District's eminent domain attorney Pamela Schock Mintzer of Wendel, Rosen, Black and Dean, is working with the "successor trustees" for the property at 76 Tarry Lane to clarify ownership, in order for negotiations to proceed. The "Complaint in Eminent Domain" has been filed for this property in the case that ownership cannot be resolved in a timely manner. The Board will recall that the owner of 21 Snowberry Lane spoke during the hearing on the Resolution of Necessity. As noted above, the District has obtained the needed permanent and temporary easements for a monetary settlement and "in-kind" improvements to her driveway and property line fence. Assistant Engineer Edgar Lopez, who will be the Resident Engineer for construction of the project, was instrumental in the final discussion with the owner of 21 Snowberry Lane that resulted in the settlement, and Edgar will be the District representative at the project to ensure that if the owner has concerns, they are quickly and appropriately addressed. 11) General Manager James Kelly announced that the construction of the A-Line Relief Interceptor, Phase 2A Project, is a joint project with the City of Concord for construction, which includes a new gravity sewer from Concord's Pumping Station site. A draft Mitigation Negative Declaration (MND) was released for public review on April 2, 2007. The public review period will end on May 2,2007. A public hearing to consider approval of the MND and the project (for CEQA and permitting purposes) is tentatively scheduled for the May 24, 2007 Board meeting. 12) General Manager James Kelly announced that staff expects the National Park Service (NPS) to release the draft Environmental Assessment (EA) for public review in early April 2007. A copy of the draft EA will be provided to Board Members when it is released. The public review period will last 30 days. The NPS will hold a public meeting to receive comments to the draft EA about two weeks after the release date. Book 56 - Page 76 Board Minutes of April 5, 2007 When the EA process is completed, provided the NPS Regional Director finds there are no significant impacts resulting from the project, the District and the NPS will enter into a License Agreement for construction and maintenance of the trunk sewer across the NPS property. Staff expects the Agreement will be completed in time to allow the construction of the trunk sewer this summer. Staff will continue to update the Board as new information becomes available. Items 2-12 were presented as written announcements. 13) General Manager James Kelly announced that the California Water Environmental Association's Annual Conference will be held in Ontario, California from April 17 through April 21, 2007.
