Ms. Christa Freihofner addressed the Board with regard to Consent Calendar Item h.,
Reject Claim for Damages by Wolfgang and Christa Freihofner, 3272 Estero Drive, San
Ramon. Ms. Freihofner stated that Traveler's Insurance Company sent a letter rejecting
the claim without even inspecting the property. Cracks in walls are a common occurrence
in a construction project. Ms. Freihofner stated that when her house was painted last
summer, the painter indicated he was surprised there were no cracks in the walls. Ms.
Freihofner stated further that her swimming pool was fine as evidenced by her pool
service, now there are cracks. Ms. Freihofner asked that someone come in and patch the
cracks and paint, indicating that it would cost her more to fight the claim than to fix her
home.
In response to questions from Member Nejedly, Ms. Freihofner stated that she did not
have the pre-construction survey offered by the District done because she did not think
she would need it. Ms. Freihofner stated that she does not have anything in writing from
her painter or pool service.

Discussion followed with regard to the age of the swimming pool, the swimming pool
refurbishment that was done eight years ago, and the unspecified amount of the claim.
Ms. Kim Greer, Safety and Risk Management Specialist, stated that no specific amount
was requested on the claim form; but based on conversations with the individuals
involved, Ms. Greer stated that she believes that the costs would be minimal, probably
under $500.
Member Nejedly suggested that Consent Calendar Item 4.h., the Freihofner claim, be held
until a future Board Meeting to allow Ms. Freihofner to gather additional information.
Member Nejedly suggested that Ms. Freihofner request something in writing from her
painter and pool service.
Ms. Sandy Barclay indicated that she was present to observe and did not wish to
comment on Consent Calendar Item i., Reject Claim for Damages by William and Sandy
Barclay, 3210 Ensenada Drive, San Ramon. Ms. Barclay stated that she and her husband
have obtained the services of an attorney.
Following a brief discussion, President Menesini departed from the order of the agenda
to go into closed session.
12. CLOSED SESSION
a.
SIGNIFICANT EXPOSURE TO LITIGATION
Pursuant to Government Code Section 54956.9(b), a point has been reached where in the
opinion of the Board of Directors of the Central Contra Costa Sanitary District, on the
advice of its counsel, based on existing facts and circumstances, there is a significant
exposure to litigation against the District. Two potential matters are to be discussed.
At 2:27 p.m., President Menesini declared the closed session to discuss significant
exposure to litigation pursuant to Government Code Section 54956.9{b) as noted above.
At 2:40 p.m., President Menesini concluded the closed session and reconvened the
meeting into open session.
13. REPORT OF DISCUSSION IN CLOSED SESSION
No decisions were made or votes taken in closed session which require reporting at this
time.
At this time, President Menesini reverted to the order of the agenda.
4. CONSENT CALENDAR
President Menesini noted that Consent Calendar Item h., Reject Claim for Damages by
Wolfgang and Christa Freihofner, 3272 Estero Drive, San Ramon, is referred to staff for
further investigation and recommendation.
With regard to Consent Calendar Item i., it was moved by Member Hockett and seconded
by Member Lucey, that the claim for damages submitted by William and Sandy Barclay,
3210 Ensenada Drive, San Ramon, be rejected and that staff be directed to send a
rejection letter to the claimant. There being no objection, the motion was unanimously
approved.

6. REPORTS
GENERAL MANAGER
1 )
Mr. Batts, General Manager, stated that the San Ramon projects are now
well underway. As suggested by the Board, it is proposed that updates be
presented once a month, unless there is something unusually important to
report. Mr. Batts introduced Mr. William E. Brennan, Capital Projects
Division Manager, who distributed and reviewed a written status report on
the San Ramon projects. Mr. Brennan noted that the Dougherty Tunnel and
Trunk Sewer Project is 90 percent complete. The San Ramon Force Main
Project is 20 percent complete. As previously discussed with the Board,
there are concerns with completing the construction work near the three
schools along the project alignment prior to the schools starting on August
23. At this time it appears likely that the construction work will be finished,
although the schedule is tight for completing the work near California High
School. Mr. Brennan stated that since his last report to the Board, there
have been five additional public contacts. All were complaints, two related
to the Pumping Station Project and three to the Force Main Project. To date
for all the San Ramon projects there have been 75 public contacts: 53
complaints, 20 requests for information, and 2 compliments.
2)
Mr. Batts, General Manager, stated that the District is still in negotiations
with Bulldog Gas and Power over the price and terms of the landfill gas
contract. District staff, after receiving direction from the Board at the July
11, 2002 Board Meeting, proposed to Bulldog Gas and Power that the
District would accept a landfill gas contract price that is 50 percent of the
natural gas price with no cap or floor on the price. The counter offer
received from Bulldog Gas and Power was provided to the Board. Mr. Batts
introduced Mr. Joe Pomroy, Associate Engineer, who reviewed the Bulldog
Gas and Power estimated annual operations and maintenance costs totaling
$442,000 excluding capital replacement costs. Because the District was
concerned with the reliability of the landfill gas, Bulldog Gas and Power
made capital improvements to improve reliability. Mr. Pomroy summarized
the landfill gas cost proposal using natural gas costs of $790,000 as the
baseline, extending the existing landfill gas contract is estimated at
$647,000, the first Bulldog Gas and Power proposal would be $711,000,
the District's counter offer would be $395,000, and the current Bulldog Gas
and Power proposal would be $553,000 based on volumes from last year.
Mr. Pomroy reviewed a potential counter offer that the Board may wish to
consider, proposing a 30 percent landfill gas discount over the natural gas
price for $0.00 to $2.00/MMBTU, a 40 percent discount for $2.00 to
$4.00/MMBTU, and a 50 percent discount for $4.00 and up/MMBTU for an
annual cost for 185,000 MMBTU of $500,000.
Discussion followed with regard to the previous landfill gas contract with
NEO, improvements made by Bulldog Gas and Power to improve reliability,
the average monthly landfill gas usage by the District, the cost to the
District to use the landfill gas, and the estimated value of energy tax
credits. Member Nejedly and President Menesini indicated that they would
like to see the landfill gas operation. Following discussion, this matter was
referred back to staff for further negotiations and report back to the Board
at the next Board Meeting.
Mr. Batts, General Manager, stated that in April 2002, a Board Workshop
was held to discuss the proposed strategy to improve cleaning, reduce
overflows, and lower the construction backlog in the Collection System
Operations Division. While the District is still implementing this strategy,
staff would like to provide an update to the Board on the progress being
made. Mr. Batts introduced Mr. John Pearl, Collection System Operations
(CSO) Division Manager, who stated that at the April 29 Board Workshop,
01
02
227
the goals of reducing overflows and reducing the Construction Section
backlog were established. To accomplish this, it was proposed to increase
routine cleaning, improve scheduled cleaning, increase chemical root
control, and improve cleaning processes. Cleaning is the heart of CSO. In
2002, routine cleaning has exceeded 2001 total footage for the same time
period. The 2002 target footage is 1,000,000 feet. By the end of June
750,000 feet of routine cleaning had been completed. Scheduled cleaning
is at nearly 100 percent schedule completion and compliance. With regard
to CSO's war on roots, Mr. Pearl stated that 70,000 feet of pipe were
chemically treated last year and additional footage is being treated this year.
Cleaning is focused on heavy root areas and increasing routine cleaning
frequency. Reviewing the three-year data, shows that the concept of the
"overflow crescent" discussed at the Board Workshop is a good one. The
clusters of overflows are even more evident in the three-year data.
In response to questions from Member Boneysteele, Mr. Bill Echols, Field
Operations Superintendent, described the process of chemically foaming the
pipes in hand-rod lines with difficult or no access. Mr. Echols stated that
those lines were identified and put on the chemical root control program.
This process has a two-year guarantee for re-foaming if there is regrowth.
Mr. Echols stated that the goal is to reduce the number of lines on hand rod
schedules to free up people to work on other things. Mr. Echols showed
photographs of extremely large root balls which were recently removed from
a line. Maintenance Crew Leader Penny Binder and her crew worked to
immediately remove these root balls because the line was almost completely
blocked.
Mr. Pearl reviewed overflow performance statistics for the first six months
of the current year compared to 2001, noting that this is a lagging indicator.
In 2001 there were a total of 141 overflows. Of those, 36 were reportable
and 2 were major overflows totaling 138,000 gallons. Through June 30,
2002, there have been a total of 74 overflows. Of those, 14 were
reportable, and 6 were major overflows totaling 19,125 gallons. Mr. Pearl
noted that there have been more major overflows in 2002, but the volume
is less.
To reduce the construction backlog, it was proposed to mobilize more
Construction crews, contract repair work in streets through the Engineering
Departments rehabilitation project, aggregate certain types of work, and
increase the completion rate of the Engineering Department's replacement
of critical line segments. Through June 30, 2002, the average number of
Construction crews has increased by 16 percent. Fifty (50) folders have
been sent to the Engineering Department for bidding the work this winter.
The folder count at the time of the Board Workshop in April 2002 was 400.
As of June 30, 2002 the folder count is 394, down 1.5 percent. At the
time of the Board Workshop, there were 130 priority one jobs. As of June
30, 2002 there were 117 priority one jobs, down 10 percent. Mr. Pearl
stated that this is a moving target. Jobs come in each day from TV
inspection work and work being done by the District's contractor. A
significant number of folders have been added during this time, but some
progress has been made.
Mr. Pearl stated that at June 30, 2002, all vacancies had been filled and
there were a total of 30 Field Crew Members, three new Maintenance Crew
Leaders, and three new Maintenance Crew Members. The Board authorized
increasing field staff by four people and that recruitment began July 19,
2002. Mr. Pearl stated that CSO is a young organization with new
employees in new jobs. Impacts of a young organization are that training
needs are significantly increased, reducing availability of staff. Short term
productivity is hindered by new people learning complex skill sets. Rotation
through all sections is required to achieve minimum proficiency at CSO, and
08
01
02
228
b.
08
there are fewer journey level trainers. The current average experience level
at CSO is the lowest in years. Mr. Pearl compared the 2001 and 2002
year-to-date safety statistics, noting that there were 42 days lost in 2001
and to date there have been no days lost in 2002. In 2001 there were 6
vehicle accidents and to date in 2002 there has been 1 vehicle accident.
In terms of customer service, the CSO User Feedback Survey for 2001-
2002 overall service averages 3.73 out of 4.0.
In summary with regard to cleaning, Mr. Pearl stated that routine footage
is on target to meet goal, scheduled footage is being completed monthly,
and the chemical root control program is in place. With regard to
construction, there are more Construction crews in the field, the backlog
has been reduced but making our goal will be a challenge, 50 folders are
being transferred to Engineering for bidding, and good progress is being
made by Engineering on replacing critical line segments. Engineering's
support is crucial to success. Recruitment of the positions authorized by
the Board is in progress.
Member Lucey noted that in terms of the priority one jobs, it does not
appear that much progress has been made. Member Lucey stated further
that there has been a substantial decrease in the number of vehicles
accidents. Mr. Pearl indicated that 60 priority one jobs were completed but
50 new priority one jobs were added in the first six months of the fiscal
year. Mr. Batts stated that this is a long-term campaign. A lot of these
indicators are lagging indicators and will not change quickly. Staff will
continue these efforts and will be reporting back to the Board on a regular
basis.
Mr. Echols stated that with the Board and management focus on
construction backlog, there has never been such a high level of concern.
Everyone is working together to get the job done. There is an energy
around CSO to get the jobs done. It has had a big impact on everyone.
Member Lucey stated that it is important to have credibility and that is good
to see.
4)
Mr. Batts, General Manager, announced that the District is advertising for
bids for the Influent Diversion Structure Building Demolition Project, DP
6167. The engineer's estimate is $150,000.
5)
Mr. Batts, General Manager, announced that the District's Collection
System Operations (CSO) Construction crews had a near emergency last
Friday when a paving contractor in Lafayette evidently put concrete into the
District pipe. The crew had to deal with both the transfer of sewage around
the problem pipe and digging up the new street paving to replace the
portion of pipe that was damaged and plugged. A seven-person crew
worked late Friday to deal with this problem. Cost issues are now being
worked out with the contractor. A second CSO crew also worked late on
Friday to address another problem situation.
6)
Mr. Batts, General Manager, announced that the District's Annual Health
and Safety Picnic will be held on August 23, 2002. Board Members are
