CALL MEETING TO ORDER Chair Hockett called the meeting to order at 3 p.m. 2. PUBLIC COMMENTS None. 3. REVIEW RECYCLED WATER PROGRAM - Ann Farrell The Committee discussed the status of the recycled water portion of the A-line project. The project is out to bid and the recycled water line is still included but is a separate bid item that can either be awarded at a later date or not awarded at all. In the meantime, staff is evaluating the cost of the additional cross connection protection that Contra Costa Water District is requiring and the impact on the cost effectiveness of the recycled water line extension and will be developing some options for the Committee to consider in early October. There was also some general discussion of the recycled water program and suggestions for items to be included on the agenda for the Recycled Water Committee meeting in October. ft to;>> Recycled Paper Capital Projects Committee September 5, 2007 - Page 2 - 4. PREVIEW OF FY 2006-07 CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT YEAR END REPORT- Ann Farrell Ms. Farrell discussed the revenue and expenditures for the FY 2006-07 Capital Program. The expenditures were approximately $39.6 million and revenues $36.3 million resulting in a draw down of the capital fund of approximately $ 3 million to a balance of approximately $52.5 million. The Committee noted that there are a number of large projects that will need to be funded in the upcoming years and the fund balance will be helpful in minimizing the need for bond financing. 5. PREVIEW OF POSITION PAPER RE: NEED FOR ADDITIONAL AUTHORIZATION FOR FY 2007-08 GENERAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM /EXPLANATION OF CIB AUTHORIZATION/ALLOCATION PROCESS - Dr. Gail Chesler Dr. Chesler reviewed the process for developing the Board authorization needed for the Capital Program. Estimates of allocations that will be carried over from one fiscal year to the next are made approximately six months in advance of the end of the current fiscal year. If these estimates are not correct, the amount authorized by the Board for the following fiscal year may not be sufficient and a correction to the authorization amount may be necessary. In this case, we have an immediate need to add authorized funds to the General Improvements Program to allow planned FY 2007 -08 expenditures to occur. The Committee will review the authorization process at a future Committee meeting to determine if a new procedure should be adopted to correct for actual carryover each year when the period 13 financials are available and thus avoid the need for additional authorizations during the year. COMMITTEE ACTION: Recommended approval of the Position Paper by the full Board. 6. CSO UPDATE Ms. Farrell reviewed the schedule for the improvements at the Collection Systems Operations site and noted that the Draft Mitigated Negative Declaration will be available for distribution to the Board and the public by the end of September. The City of Walnut Creek staff has been involved in the development of the document and will receive an Administrative Draft for comment prior to the document being released to the public. A position paper to set the public hearing for the document is planned for the October 4 Board meeting and the public hearing itself is planned for the November 15 Board meeting. 7. ADJOURNMENT - at 4:30 p.m.
