DOLAN General Manager-Chief Engineer DATE January 6, 1981 SUBJECT TYPE OF ACTION AUTHORIZATION OF FUNDS FOR BIOLOGICAL PHOSPHORUS REMOVAL PilOT PLANT STUDY ($140,000.00) AUTHORIZATION FOR FUNDS SUBMITTED BY John A. larson, Special Projects INITIATING DEPT./DIV. Engineering Division BACKGROUND: Preliminary work to date has shown that the biological phosphorus removal process could significantly reduce the cost of reclaimed water; however, pilot plant studies are required to confirm process performance under actual conditions. The Board of Directors has previously approved the concept of pilot scale testing and $7,000 of sewer con- struction funds were authorized for the preliminary work. The proposed pilot plant study consists of the installation and eight month operation of a 2-gallon per minute pilot plant. The design, construction, and operation would be accomplished by District personnel. Direction would be provided by a committee comprised of outside consultants and District personnel (both engineering and opera- tions). The estimated cost of this study is $140,000. To date, the State Water Resources Control Board has expressed interest in the pilot plant study. They have authorized $6,000 for the purchase and preliminary installation of pilot plant equipment previously used at the Reno/Sparks Treatment Plant. Subject to an acceptable application, they would be willing to fund the entire pilot plant study (at 87t%). RECOMMENDATION: Authorize $140,000 in Sewer Construction funds for the design, installation, and opera- tion of a biological phosphorus removal pilot plant subject to approval of grant funding by the State Water Resources Control Board.

DOLAN General Manager-Chief Engineer DATE SUBJECT January 5, 1981 TYPE OF ACTION ADOPT RESOLUTION TO INCREASE LEVEL OF GARBAGE COLLECTION SERVICE IN THE TOWN OF MORAGA ADOPT RESOLUTION SUBMITTED BY Walter N. Funasaki INITIATING DEPT./DIV. Accounting Division ISSUE: The Town Counci I of the Town of Moraga has requested a modification to the residential garbage collection service by the addition of a weekly trimmings pick-up and three general clean-up collections annually. BACKGROUND: A Publ ic Hearing was conducted by the Board of Directors on November 6, 1980 to consider the requested increase in level of service. The collector, Orinda- Moraga Disposal Service, Inc., agreed to provide the additional service for $1.00 per month chargeable to each residential customer and individually served condominium unit. During the Public Hearing, opposition to applying the new service levels to condominium units was expressed. The District staff was directed to meet with Town officials and the collector to develop a procedure to permit condominium units to determine whether they desired the new service. George Navone, President of Orinda-Moraga Disposal Service, Inc., contacted the homeowners' association of each condominium complex in Moraga to determine whether they wished to obtain all of the additional service for $1.00 per unit, only the three general clean-up collection for $.75 per unit or to be excluded from participation in the additional service. The Moraga Country Club, comprised of 325 units, decided to obtain only the three general clean-up collections; all otl1er condominium complexes, totaling 414 units, decided not to obtain any additional service. Orinda-Moraga Disposal Service, Inc. has proposed a rate of $1.15 per month for single family residences to offset the revenue reduction caused by the non- participation of the majority of the condominium complexes. Gary Chase, Town Manager of the Town of Moraga, has accepted this rate on behalf of the Town Council. The collector has agreed to provide the new level of garbage collection service beginning February 1, 1981, and to adhere to the additional rate of $1.15 per month for single family residences and $.75 per month for Moraga County Club units for a period of fourteen months beginning February 1, 1981 so as not to affect a garbage rate increase application which may be submitted for the period beginning April 1, 1981. RECOMMENDATION: Adopt a resolution to provide the increased level of garbage collection service for the Town of Moraga. A draft resolution is attached.

After delivering your release to the Credit Union, their Assistant Manager, Mr. Phil Wakeman stated that he would turn the matter over to their Board of Directors after obtaining estimates for the in- stallation of the Back Water Check valve. He aoparently called someone':.': from your office and obtained a list of contractors who would possibly by interested in doing the work and was told that it would cost some- where in the area of between $500 and $1,000. After obtaining three or four estimates, they found that the low estimate from Champion11s Plumbing and Heating was in the amount of $1,972. The other bids were in excess of $2,200. The Credit Union's position is that they believe that the Central Contra Costa County Sanitary District is at least partially respon- sible for their having to incur the additional costs for installing the Back Water Check valve, etc. They argue that if the system was properly designed and maintained, they wouldn't have to incur the additional cost of installing back-up systems to prevent accidents such as this from re-occurring.
