Board Minutes of May 24, 2007
Secretary of the District Elaine Boehme reported that since April 5 the Plan has been
made available to the public on the District's website, and feedback was requested from
sixteen local advocacy groups for the disabled. To date, no comments or input have
been received.
She stated that, in an effort to comply with the ADA requirements, work has already
begun on the non-capital project parts of the plan, including installation of an assistive
listening device and removal of seats in the Board Room, and installation of some ADA
signage. The capital projects to address facility changes will be scheduled in the near
future. Staff will present updates to the Board as these projects proceed.
The public hearing was opened and closed without comments.
ADA Consultant Tim Gilbert thanked staff for their work on developing the SETP.
It was moved by Member Hockett and seconded by Member Lucey to adopt the ADA
SETP as recommended. Motion passed by unanimous vote of the Board.
b. CONDUCT A PUBLIC HEARING ON THE CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT BUDGET
(CIB) FOR FISCAL YEAR 2007-08. AND THE 2007 TEN-YEAR CAPITAL
IMPROVEMENT PLAN (CIP). APPROVE THE 2007 CIP. AND APPROVE THE
CIB FOR INCLUSION IN THE FISCAL YEAR 2007-08 DISTRICT BUDGET
General Manager James Kelly reported that the Capital Improvement Budget for Fiscal
Year 2007-08 and the Capital Improvement Plan for the ten years beginning July 2007
were reviewed in part with the Capital Projects Committee on March 20 and March 27,
2007, and in total with the full Board at a Board Workshop on April 12, 2007. He stated
that it is the District's practice for the Board to receive comments from the public prior to
considering approval of the Capital Improvement Budget and Plan for inclusion in the
Districts Fiscal Year 2007-08 budget.
Director of Engineering Ann Farrell presented a report, stating that projected revenues
are $40,448,000 and expenses are $43,061,000, which will leave the sewer
construction fund with a projected balance of $48.2 million as of June 30, 2008. Of the
$40,448,000, $11,123,000 will come from the City of Concord due to the joint project
with the City. The largest expenditures will be in the Collection System program,
including the A-Line Phase 2-A project, which will cost approximately $12,431,000 in the
2007-08 fiscal year and $17,751,000 for the total project. A large portion of that will be
reimbursed by the City of Concord.
With regard to the General Improvements program, $13,782,000 has been budgeted for
the new Collection System Operations facility, but only $472,000 of that will be spent in
the 2007-08 fiscal year for planning.
Book 56 - Page 118
Board Minutes of May 24, 2007
Staff is requesting authorization for $76,023,000 for the 2007-08 Capital Improvement
Budget, which covers this year's expenditures as well as expenditures that continue into
future years.
Ms. Farrell reviewed the Board's ongoing role in the capital program: authorizing
program budgets each fiscal year; authorizing supplemental program funds, if needed;
awarding construction contracts over $15,000; authorizing change orders over $50,000;
approving consultant contracts over $50,000; and authorizing any revisions to
consultant contracts in excess of 15 percent.
The public hearing was opened and closed without comments.
It was moved by Member Menesini and seconded by Member McGill to approve the
2007 CIP, and to approve the CIB for inclusion in the Fiscal Year 2007-08 District
Budget. Motion passed by unanimous vote of the Board.
c. CONDUCT A PUBLIC HEARING AND CONSIDER ADOPTING A RESOLUTION
APPROVING A MITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATION AND ITS MITIGATION
MONITORING PROGRAM FOR THE CCCSD A-LINE RELIEF INTERCEPTOR
AND CONCORD INTERCEPTOR SEWER PROJECT (DP 5980)
General Manager James Kelly reported that, in May 2006, the District and the City of
Concord entered into a Joint Powers Agreement to design and construct the District's A-
Line Relief Interceptor Phase 2A Project and a new Concord connection to that line.
Under that agreement, the District has served as lead agency for preparation of a
Mitigated Negative Declaration for the joint project. Having completed a public review
last month, the document is now ready for Board approval and public hearing, which is
the District's practice. Normally the project would also be approved at this time; this is
being deferred to allow staff to work to resolve some issues with Water District on the
recycle water portion of the project. A meeting with the Water District will be held
tomorrow to work on the issues. Based on the outcome of that meeting, a Recycled
Water Committee meeting will be scheduled to discuss the issues.
Engineering Assistant III Russ Leavitt presented a report on the mitigated negative
declaration process and timeline. Project approval is scheduled for July 2007, project
bidding for August 2007, and award of the construction contract for October 2007.
The public hearing was opened and closed without comments.
It was moved by Member Lucey and seconded by Member Hockett to adopt Resolution
2007 -065, approving the Mitigated Negative Declaration and its Mitigation Monitoring
Program for the CCCSD A-Line Relief Interceptor and Concord Interceptor Sewer
Project (DP 5980). Motion passed by unanimous vote of the Board.

5. CALL FOR REQUESTS TO CONSIDER ITEMS OUT OF ORDER
None.
6. REPORTS
a. GENERAL MANAGER
1 ) Report on Contra Costa Flood Protection
General Manager James Kelly stated that staff has been working with the Contra
Costa County Flood Control and Water Conservation District on how to protect
the treatment plant facilities in the event of major wet weather storms. Based on
the latest hydrology modeling performed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers,
the treatment plant is only subjected to flooding in the area north of storage Basin
B in a 1 OO-year event. The Flood Control District has proposed an interim project
to desilt the lower section of Walnut Creek and raise the levees road along
Grayson and Walnut Creeks. They have also requested the District's assistance
in supplying material suitable for levee construction and providing land for
disposal of sediment that is removed from Walnut Creek. These requests were
presented to the Real Estate Committee on May 22,2007.
Member Lucey reported that the Real Estate Committee reviewed this matter at
its meeting on May 22, and recommended using the Kiewit property for removing
fill to shore up the levees and the Lagiss property for the desilt deposit.
Senior Engineer Ba Than showed photographs of Grayson and Walnut Creeks
during the December 31,2005 flood event, which was estimated to be a 39-year
wet-weather event. He stated that the southern portion of the treatment plant
currently relies solely on the Flood Control District's levee and service road for
protection from flooding from the creeks. The tunnel entrances are vulnerable,
and contain approximately $57 million worth of equipment that would be exposed
to flood damage. An interim protection plan has been developed and equipment
has been inventoried and valued.
He described District actions to date, including meetings with the Army Corps of
Engineers and the Board of Supervisors' Transportation Water Infrastructure
Committee (TWIC). The Board of Supervisors declared the situation to be an
emergency. The Flood Control District has met with the Army Corps of
Engineers locally and in Washington, D.C., and with environmental regulators.
They have also completed dynamic modeling and developed and analyzed
eighteen alternatives to address the problem. The preferred alternative has been
developed and approved by the TWIC. The Flood Control District is proceeding
with developing contract documents and agreements to be implemented in
summer 2007.
Book 56 - Page 120
Board Minutes of May 24, 2007
He stated that the recommended alternative raises the levees along the west
side of Walnut Creek and desilts the sediment in Walnut Creek from the
Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railroad to Clayton Valley drain. The project is
expected to begin construction in summer 2007 and is estimated to cost between
$5.6 - $8.6 million.
The Flood Control District (FCD) has asked that the District assist by allowing
FCD's contractor to take soil from and dispose of sediment on District property.
The contractor will potentially need 70,000 cubic yards of material to raise the
levees, and may need to dispose of up to 200,000 cubic yards of desilt sediment.
In response to a question from Member McGill, Mr. Than confirmed that the Army
Corps of Engineers recommends 3 feet minimum free board for 1 OO-year flood
events.
Mr. Than concluded his report, stating that the next steps include the Flood
Control District working on the CEQA and environmental/engineering studies;
staff working with the Flood Control District to develop appropriate real property
agreements; and the Flood Control District preparing plans and specifications
and pre-selecting bidders. It is hoped that construction will begin on August 15
and end by mid-October, 2007.
Member Lucey confirmed that the Real Estate Committee recommended
removing soil from the Kiewit property. Mr. Than stated that the top five feet of
dirt at Kiewit have a high clay content which is good for compaction on levee
roads.
Mr. Mitch Avalon, County Flood Control, confirmed that there has been testing on
sediment to be deposited on the Lagiss property.
Member Lucey stated that the District wants assurance that desilt sediment
deposited on District property is not contaminated.
Items 2-6 were provided to the Board as written announcements.
2) Public Biddinq of North Orinda Sewer Renovations (Phase 3), DP 5963
This project is the third of four phases of sewer renovations in north Orinda. The
project will reconstruct approximately 6,400 linear feet of 6- through 15-inch
sewer lines within public right-of-way, private streets, and easements. The work
will include installation of manholes, spot repairs at three locations, and a fusible
PVC demonstration site. Both open-cut and pipeburst methods will be used.
The project will be advertised on June 1 and 7,2007. The bids will be opened on
June 19, 2007. The construction cost is currently estimated at $1,750,000. More
information will be presented when the Board is asked to approve the
construction contract on July 5,2007.
Book 56 - Page 121
Board Minutes of May 24, 2007
3) Utilitv Coordination With The Citv Of Orinda
At the City of Orinda Council Meeting on May 15, 2007, the subject of utility
compliance with roadway reconstruction requirements in connection with
encroachment permits was discussed. Representatives from CCCSD and East
Bay Municipal Utility District (EBMUD) were present. The Council's concern was
that many residents of the City were expressing concerns that utility companies
were not repairing the pavement damaged by their maintenance/construction
activities. Council Members felt in general that City staff needed to provide more
oversight to ensure that utilities were repairing streets in a timely manner. The
Council requested that utilities be required to install informational signs with
specific information on restoration details, and contact information for both repair
activities and capital projects. District staff is working with City staff to develop
appropriate signage to address their concerns. A copy of a proposed sign was
provided to the City Manager. Several Council Members expressed their
appreciation to CCCSD and EBMUD for their respective on-going efforts to
upgrade facilities in Orinda.
4) Clayton Cleans Up Event
On Saturday, April 28, 2007, District staff participated in the Clayton Cleans Up
Event. Approximately 200 Clayton residents picked up trash along portions of
Mt. Diablo Creek, city parks and streets. The City hosted a barbecue lunch at
City Hall afterwards. District staff distributed informational flyers and answered
questions about the Household Hazardous Waste Collection Facility, and less
toxic methods to control pests in gardens and homes.
5) Alhambra Vallev Annexation
On May 16, 2007, staff met with Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCO)
Executive Officer Lou Ann Texeira to discuss the annexation of the Alhambra
Valley area to the District. As directed by the Board, the District will proceed to
annex the Alhambra Valley Estates property immediately. This annexation will be
done as a boundary reorganization along with annexation to the County Lighting
and Landscaping District CSA L-100. This action will save time and money rather
than proceeding with separate annexations. Staff anticipates that LAFCO will act
on the annexation application in July 2007.
Staff is preparing the environmental review documentation necessary for LAFCO
to consider annexation of the other properties in the Alhambra Valley. The
documents will include environmental impacts of annexing the nine properties
outside the Urban Limit Line. LAFCO staff was advised of this approach and did
not object. Including the nine properties in the environmental documentation
does not obligate the District to pursue annexation. The Board of Directors
would make that decision at a later date, based in part on the information
contained in the environmental reports.
Book 56 - Page 122
Board Minutes of May 24, 2007
Staff also discussed the possibility of a joint annexation involving the City of
Martinez and the District. LAFCO staff indicated that from an urban services
perspective, the Alhambra Valley should ultimately be annexed to the City of
Martinez because the valley is in the City's sphere of influence, and residents are
receiving city water and other services. While they believe that a joint annexation
is desirable, LAFCO staff stated that they did not want to impose a delay in the
District annexation of the Alhambra Valley. Annexation of Alhambra Valley to the
City would be significantly more complex and time-consuming. Before the City
could apply for annexation, a comprehensive environmental review and a fiscal
analysis would have to be completed. The City would also have to reach
agreement with the County over the sharing of tax revenues. Therefore, it is
prudent for the District annexation to proceed independent of the City of
Martinez.
6) ProposE3d Local Wastewater Operator Trainino
On Friday, May 17, 2007, District staff is participating in an exploratory meeting
to determine if sufficient interest exists for local Community College Wastewater
Operator Training courses. Presently, Solano Community College (SCC), which
is located in the Fairfield/Suisun area, is the only Community College that offers
courses in Wastewater Treatment in the East Bay. This location is not
convenient for operators or potential operators in Contra Costa County. Several
agencies including Dublin San Ramon Services District, Delta Diablo Sanitation
District, and Central Contra Costa Sanitary District have expressed an interest in
SCC courses if they could be offered in Contra Costa County depending on the
cost of the classes offered. With strong interest and full classes, the off-campus
training would offer a convenient option for Operator training. The Board will be
informed of the results of the meeting at the June 7,2007 Board meeting.
7) Celebration of National Public Works Week
Crewmembers from Collection System Operations (CSO) will help celebrate
National Public Works Week at the Pleasant Hill City Hall this Saturday, May 26,
2007. The Public Works display will take place from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
CSO will staff a display that will include a TV truck, photos of sewer lines from TV
inspections, as well as posters and handouts focused on how to handle
residential fats, oils and grease with a "Put it in the trash, not down the drain"
message.
8) Pollution Prevention/lnteorated Pest Manaoement Prooram
As part of the District's Pollution Prevention/Integrated Pest Management
Program, the District will be hosting a Master Gardener workshop and luncheon
at District headquarters on Wednesday, June 6, 2007.
Book 56 - Page 123
Board Minutes of May 24, 2007
One of the guests will be the Editor of the Home and Garden section of the
Contra Costa Times Joan Morris, who plans to write an article on the program.
9) Natural Gas Prices
Natural gas prices for the period of July 2007 to December 2007 have been in
the range of $8.50 to $9.00 for the past several months. Above average storage
forecasts combined with mild weather throughout the country has caused future
prices to drop to below $8.25. This recent development has allowed the District
to purchase approximately two thirds of the average daily usage for the period of
July through November 2007 at $8.25 from Coral Energy. Additional gas for this
period and the winter months will be purchased if pricing becomes more
favorable.
b. COUNSEL FOR THE DISTRICT
No reports.
c. SECRETARY OF THE DISTRICT
Secretary of the District Elaine Boehme announced that the Summer Student picnic is
scheduled for July 13, 2007 at Hidden Lakes Park.

7. ENGINEERING
a. APPROVE THE PROJECT DESCRIPTION FOR THE COLLECTION SYSTEM
OPERATIONS DEPARTMENT ADMINISTRATION. CREW. AND WAREHOUSE
FACILITY IMPROVEMENTS PROJECT (DP 8208) TO INITIATE THE
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW (CEQA) AND DESIGN PROCESSES
Book 56 - Page 124
Board Minutes of May 24, 2007
General Manager James Kelly stated that staff recommends that the Board approve the
project description for a single combined administration crew warehouse building, as
discussed with the Board at the workshop on May 15, 2007 and shown in the drawings
attached to the position paper currently being considered. The total estimated project
cost is $13 million in May 2007 dollars.
Member Menesini stated that he will support the project but still has questions that will
be addressed as the project proceeds.
President Nejedly and Member Lucey stated that they would not support the project as
proposed.
It was moved by Member Hockett and seconded by Member Menesini to approve the
project description for the Collection System Operations Department Administration,
Crew, and Warehouse Facility Improvements Project (DP 8208) to initiate the
environmental review (CEQA) and design processes. Motion passed by the following
vote of the Board:

b. ADOPT A RESOLUTION OF APPLICATION TO INITIATE FORMAL LOCAL
AGENCY FORMATION COMMISSION (LAFCO) PROCEEDINGS TO ANNEX
ONE ANNEXATION PARCEL COMPRISED OF ONE PROPERTY (DISTRICT
ANNEXATION 168A). WITHDRAW ANNEXATION 168
General Manager James Kelly stated that additional information about Alhambra Valley
annexation issues is presented in the Written Announcements. At the May 10, 2007
Board meeting, the Board directed staff to proceed with a separate annexation of the 23
unit Alhambra Valley Estates subdivision. Formal Board approval is necessary to start
this annexation. The Environmental Impact Report prepared by the developer is
adequate for LAFCO to consider the separate and smaller annexation.
He stated that the Board requested that a status letter be sent to the residents of the
Alhambra Valley advising them of the annexation delay and the schedule for completion
of the Alhambra Valley Trunk Sewer. A draft status letter has been given to each Board
Member and will be sent to the residents tomorrow.
Environmental Services Division Manager Curt Swanson presented a report, stating that
the next steps for the Alhambra Valley Trunk Sewer project are to submit the LAFCO
annexation for Alhambra Valley Estates; to defer action on the nine properties outside
the urban limit line; to begin the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) process
for the remainder of the properties; to proceed with construction of Phase 2 of the
Book 56 - Page 125
Board Minutes of May 24, 2007
project this summer; and to inform residents of the project status. He stated that a draft
letter has been prepared to send to residents.
He stated that LAFCO has concerns regarding the agricultural properties that the
District proposed to annex, and how those properties would be affected. Staff will be
looking into the issue.
President Nejedly stressed that the District's sole purpose is to provide sewer service
and has no involvement in development issues.
Mr. Swanson stated that District Annexation 168A will be combined with annexation to
County Service District CSA L-100. LAFCO is expected to consider District Annexation
168A request in July 2007. The larger annexation request is expected to be considered
by LAFCO in September or October 2007.
Member McGill suggested that it would be more advantageous to prepare an
Environmental Impact Report rather than a Negative Declaration. Mr. Kelly responded
that staff will look into that and report back to the Board.
With regard to the National Park Service right of way, the environmental assessment is
complete and approval of the right-of-way permit is expected in July 2007.
He stated that a letter has been prepared informing residents of the status of the trunk
sewer project, which will be mailed out by the end of May 2007.
Construction of Phase 2 of the project is expected to begin on August 13, 2007 and be
completed by November, 2007.
Member Lucey suggested that the letter be reworded to allow more flexibility in the
anticipated completion date of the project.
It was moved by President Nejedly and seconded by Member Lucey to adopt
Resolution 2007-066, a resolution of application to initiate formal LAFCO proceedings to
annex one annexation parcel comprised of one property (District Annexation 168A,
Alhambra Valley Estates), and to withdraw Annexation 168. Motion passed by
unanimous vote of the Board.
8. BUDGET AND FINANCE
a. RECEIVE THE FISCAL YEAR 2007-2008 OPERATIONS AND MAINTENANCE
BUDGET; RECEIVE THE FISCAL YEAR 2007-2008 DEBT SERVICE FUND
BUDGET
General Manager James Kelly reported that the Fiscal Year 2007-2008 Operations and
Maintenance Budget and the Debt Service Fund Budget are being submitted for review
Book 56 - Page 126
Board Minutes of May 24, 2007
by the Board prior to a public hearing and approval of the proposed budgets scheduled
for the June 7,2007 Board Meeting.
Controller Debbie Ratcliff presented a report describing assumptions, stating that a
sewer service charge increase has been embedded in the budget, which will bring the
charge up to $300. Of that, $242 will be allocated to operations and maintenance, and
$58 to sewer construction. Expense assumptions include a $5 million allocation for
GASB 45 post retirement benefits; a 1.5 percent increase in the rate for retirement
expense; increases of 11.5 percent to Healthnet costs and 24.5 percent to Kaiser
costs; and an increase in administrative overhead rate from 103 percent to 107
percent.
A 3 percent vacancy factor for salaries has been included this year for the first time, and
a 4 percent vacancy factor for benefits.
Total District revenue for 2007-08 is projected to be $93,446,000, with expenses
projected to be $98,288,000. She compared the 2006-07 O&M budget to the 2007-08
budget, which reflects a 12.8 percent increase in revenues and a 1.9 percent increase
in expenses.
Ms. Ratcliff described the key labor costs, salaries and benefits. Total labor costs for
2007 -08 are projected to increase by $441,000. The total amount budgeted for 2007-08
for salaries and benefits is $44.4 million.
Key increases in the 2007-08 budget include an increase of 17.7 percent in the cost of
chemicals, a 14.3 percent increase in self-insurance costs, and a 10 percent increase in
repairs and maintenance. Debt service costs are expected to be $3,869,000 for interest
expense and principal payments associated with the District's bond financing.
Member Lucey stated that the Personnel Committee will be looking at overtime figures
and will report back to the Board.
Member Hockett suggested providing information to ~mployees on how to use their
medical and dental coverage more efficiently.
