CONSENT CALENDAR Type of Action: ACCEPT GRANT OF EASEMENT Subject: ACCEPT A GRANT OF EASEMENT FROM HORST RADEMACHER AND MARGARET HELLWEG IN CONNECTION WITH THE SOUTH ORINDA SEWER IMPROVEMENT PROJECT, DP 4928 Submitted By: inifiating Dept. /Div.: Ricardo Hernandez Engineering Assistant Engineering /Environmental Services REVIEWED AND RECOMMENDED FOR BOARD ACT/ . Y JiWivult R. ernandez J. amoto -Mills C. Swanson A. rell Charles W. iati General Manag ISSUE: Board approval is required for the District to accept Grants of Easements. RECOMMENDATION- Accept the subject Grant of Easement. FINANCIAL IMPACTS• Compensation in the amount of $250 has already been paid. BACKGROUND: While preparing to quitclaim an easement to the property owner of 12 Southwood Drive, Orinda, staff discovered that another public sewer on the same property was partially outside its easement (map attached). The portion of the sewer outside the easement was a new segment built as part of the South Orinda Sewer Improvements Project. To accommodate the new segment, the existing easement had to be lengthened by five feet and widened by one foot (total new area = 88 square feet). Staff has reached a settlement with the property owners that includes compensation in the amount of $250 for the additional easement area needed. Funds for the purchase of right of way were included in the South Orinda Sewer Improvements Project. Staff concluded that this transaction is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) under District CEQA Guidelines Section 18.6, since it involves a minor alteration in land use limitations. Acceptance of this Grant of Easement will establish the Board of Director's independent finding that this action is exempt from CEQA. 4/25/00 CPD -GL -I: \Design \PP \4928radhel.wpd Page 1 of 3 POSITION PAPER Board Meeting Date: May 2, 2000 subiect: ACCEPT A GRANT OF EASEMENT FROM HORST RADEMACHER AND MARGARET HELLWEG IN CONNECTION WITH THE SOUTH ORINDA SEWER IMPROVEMENT PROJECT, DP 4928 RECOMMENDED BOARD ACTION: Accept the Grant of Easement from Horst Rademacher and Margaret Hellweg, and authorize staff to record the Grant of Easement with the Contra Costa County Recorder. 4/25/00 CPD -GL -I: \Design \PP \4928radhel.wpd Page 2 of 3 of C u a LOCATION MAP N 1 N.T. 93 SOUTH O Op N N ME Central Contra Costa Attachment Sanitary District 12 SOUTHWOOD DR., ORINDA k (Rademacher /Hellweg) MAP Page 3 of 3 ani00 NONA(M EOVATES 0o 00 w i+3 iD ;i 0 LOU 48 RADEMACHER HELLWEG 18510 O.R. 220 268 - 170-014 6.00' EXISTING EASEMENT LENGTHENED BY 5' WIDENED BY P 0 °,n° CCCSD l0' SEWER 6.00' EASEMENT (19971 N ___ - - - - -- ___ --------- — " — "— ------ 6.02' i I i CCCSD V EASEMENT. 0 25 50 -___ (TO BE QUITCLAIMED) FEET _ N ME Central Contra Costa Attachment Sanitary District 12 SOUTHWOOD DR., ORINDA k (Rademacher /Hellweg) MAP Page 3 of 3 ani00 Central Contra Costa Sanitary District ' BOARD OF DIRECTORS POSITION PAPER Board Meeting Date: May 2, 2000 Na.: 4.b. CONSENT CALENDAR Type of Action: ACCEPT GRANTS OF EASEMENTS subject: ACCEPT GRANTS OF EASEMENTS FROM THREE PROPERTY OWNERS (WALNUT CREEK) IN CONNECTION WITH THE LAKEWOOD SEWER RENOVATION PROJECT, DP 4805 Submitted By: Initiating Dept. /Div.: Ricardo Hernandez Engineering /Environmental Serv' es REVIEWED AND RECOMMENDED FOR BOARD ACTI N R. Hernandez J. yamoto -Mills C. Swanson A. Farrell Char es W. atts, General Manage ISSUE: Board approval is required for the District to accept Grants of Easements. RECOMMENDATION: Accept the subject Grants of Easements. FINANCIAL IMPACTS: A $250 transaction fee has been paid to two owners, the third Grant of Easement was at no charge. BACKGROUND: The subject Grants of Easements are post construction easements for the Lakewood Sewer Renovation Project in Walnut Creek (map attached). Some of the sewer segments included in the project were in properties that lacked recorded easements. The facilities were originally built via rights defined in the subdivision's Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions. The District relied on these rights and any acquired prescriptive rights to accomplish the renovation project. The fact that these property rights were not recorded and did not appear on land titles created confusion with some owners. To avoid similar confusion with future maintenance or construction projects, staff has been perfecting the District's easement rights through these properties by recording Grants of Easements. This action will provide public notice of our easements, properly delineate their location, and define our existing rights. A transaction fee of $250 was offered for signed and returned Grants of Easements. The Grant of Easement from Dennis and Michelle Downs (map attached) is being granted as a replacement for an existing easement that is to be quitclaimed.

However, a small easement was still needed to accommodate the sewer's new location. Funds for the purchase of right of way were included in the authorized Lakewood Sewer Renovation Project, D.P. 4805. Staff concluded that this transaction is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) under District CEQA Guidelines Section 18.6, since it involves a minor alteration in land use limitations. Acceptance of these Grants of Easements will establish the Board of Director's independent finding that this action is exempt from CEQA. RECOMMENDED BOARD ACTION: Accept the Grants of Easements from Melodee H. Sillers, Charles H. Hanson and Susan Y. Hanson, and Dennis S.

RECOMMENDATION: Authorize Quitclaim of four easements in Orinda. :► •► •► • BACKGROUND: In 1997 the District replaced a sewer located in backyards of properties on Southwood Drive, Orinda. The existing sewer along a creek bank was abandoned and replaced with a sewer further away from the creek bank and deeper into the backyards of the Southwood Drive properties (map attached). Quitclaiming the easements for the abandoned sewer should be done by the District to remove them from the titles of the properties. Staff concluded that this transaction is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) under District CEQA Guidelines Section 18.6, since it involves a minor alteration in land use limitations.

Thom W. BrfennA VA. rell *General Batts, nager ISSUE: Construction has been completed on the Martinez Transmission Sewer Project - Pipeline Rehabilitation, (DP 5328) in Martinez and the work is now ready for acceptance. RECOMMENDATION: Accept the contract work for the Martinez Transmission Sewer Project - Pipeline Rehabilitation and authorize the filing of the Notice of Completion. FINANCIAL IMPACTS: None related to this action. ALTERNATIVES /CONSIDERATIONS: Not applicable. Filing the Notice of Completion is advisable under the California Civil Code Section 3093. BACKGROUND: The sewage conveyance system from the city of Martinez to the treatment plant includes three miles of reinforced concrete gravity sewer pipes (see Attachment 1 for project location). The gravity sewers, junction structures, and manholes have been subjected to corrosive conditions and needed to be protected from further corrosion to prolong their life. The Martinez Transmission Sewer Project - Pipeline Rehabilitation, consisted of replacing approximately 180 feet of deteriorated 36 -inch diameter reinforced concrete pipe and providing a corrosion resistant epoxy coating to the interior of three junction structures and sixteen standard trunk manholes. On September 2, 1999, the Board of Directors (Board) authorized the award of a contract for construction of the project to D'Arcy and Harty Construction, Inc. of San Francisco. Notice to Proceed was issued on October 12, 1999, and the contract work was completed on April 13, 2000. 4/18/00 I: \Design \PP \5328 Accept.AR.wpd Page 1 of 3 POSITION PAPER Board Meeting Date: May 2, 2000 subject: ACCEPT THE CONTRACT WORK FOR THE MARTINEZ TRANSMISSION SEWER PROJECT - PIPELINE REHABILITATION, DISTRICT PROJECT NO. 5328, IN MARTINEZ, AND AUTHORIZE THE FILING OF THE NOTICE OF COMPLETION RECOMMENDED BOARD ACTION: Accept the contract work for the Martinez Transmission Sewer Project - Pipeline Rehabilitation and authorize the filing of the Notice of Completion. 4/18/00 I: \Design \PP \5328 Accept.AR.wpd Page 2 of 3 MARTINEZ 7 M5 SursLjn spy PACHECO 'O o o c M3 RIP M1 V4 q v£ CHILPANCtIV 0 AL H,gMBRA < <� VALLEY RO "6P BLVD PLEASANT �I HILL F� 0 J � a ~ BOYD RD o MIL E Project Location Central Contra Costa MARTINEZ TRANSMISSION SEWER ATTACHMENT Sanitary District REHABILITATION DISTRICT PROJECT 5328 ' PROJECT LOCATION L: \Position papers \Maps \5328.wpd Page 3 of 3 Central Contra Costa Sanitary District ' BOARD OF DIRECTORS POSITION PAPER Board Meeting Date: May 2, 2000 No.: 6.a.

Swanson A. Farrell Charles W. mitts, General Manager ISSUE: On April 19, 2000, sealed bids were received for construction of the Household Hazardous Waste Collection Facility Improvements Project ( HHWCF), District Project No. 8180. The Board of Directors must authorize award of the contract or reject bids within 50 days of the bid opening. RECOMMENDATION: Authorize award of a construction contract. FINANCIAL IMPACTS: An additional allocation of $355,000, including bid price, contingency, and construction management costs will be required to complete the project. ALTERNATIVES /CONSIDERATIONS: Reject all bids. BACKGROUND: The HHWCF began operation on October 25, 1997. After the first six months of operation, a Performance Evaluation and an On -Site Audit were conducted by EMCON, a HHW operations and facilities design consultant to identify opportunities to improve operations and reduce costs. Several capital improvements were recommended in the Audit Report. In addition, HHWCF staff has identified a number of needed improvements for work flow, and safety enhancement. Plans and specifications for the project were completed by a team of District staff and NPG Engineering, Inc. (NPG) personnel. The project was advertised on February 8 and 14, 2000.. Nine bids, ranging from a low of $249,750 to a high of $363,000, were received on April 19, 2000. The engineer's pre -bid estimate for the construction contract was $275,000. A summary of the bids is shown in Attachment 1. Engineering staff conducted a commercial and technical evaluation of the bids, and concluded that RemCon, is the lowest responsible bidder with their bid of $249,750. 4/26/00 U: \PPr \McGowen \HHWPOSPA.WPD Page 1 of 6 POSITION PAPER Board Meeting Date: May 2, 2000 Subject: AUTHORIZE AWARD OF A CONSTRUCTION CONTRACT TO REMCON FOR THE HOUSEHOLD HAZARDOUS WASTE COLLECTION FACILITY IMPROVEMENTS PROJECT, DISTRICT PROJECT 8180 Construction management will be performed by a team of District staff and NPG. A professional services agreement has been negotiated with NPG to provide construction support and inspection services with a cost ceiling of $34,000. The additional allocation of funds required to complete the project is $355,000, as shown in Attachment 2. The proposed final project budget is $401,000. The project is included in the Fiscal Years 1999 -2000 & 2000 -2001 Capital Improvement Budget (CIB) beginning at page GI -27. The total project cost estimate of $100,000 presented in the CIB was prepared prior to completion of predesign of the project. During predesign, the project team, with input from EMCON, the Fire Marshal and an industrial hygienist, identified the need to expand several project elements including: ♦ Providing more extensive ventilation improvements for the sorting room, and the latex paint and flammables bulking areas than originally envisioned; ♦ Enlarging the new drum /bin storage area and providing an additional delivery driveway, gate and security fencing; ♦ Providing a larger, more permanent flammables bulking area separated from the main building; ♦ Adding a canopy matching the appearance of the existing HHWCF building over the new flammables bulking and empty drum /bin storage areas; ♦ Providing pump -out piping with quick- connect couplings and an air relief valve for the underground Secondary Containment Tank; ♦ Relocating roof leader and storm drain catch basins and piping. These expanded project elements are needed to reduce costs by optimizing operational efficiency, provide adequate storage, and improve the sorting and bulking area's working environment. Staff has conducted a cash flow evaluation of the proposed project budget and has concluded that adequate funds are available for the project.

ENGINEERING Type of Action: AUTHORIZE CONTRACT subject: AUTHORIZE THE GENERAL MANAGER TO EXECUTE A PERMIT CONTRACT WITH ACME FILL CORPORATION FOR DISCHARGE OF TREATED LANDFILL LEACHATE Submitted By: Initiating Dept. /Div.: Timothy Potter, Source Control Engineering /Environmental Services Program Superintendent REVIEWED AND RECOMMEND FOR BOARD ACTION: T. Potter Swanson A. Farrell K. Alm her, General Manage ISSUE: Landfill leachate is generated from the normal operation of landfills and continues to be generated through the closure and post - closure periods of a landfill facility. The Acme Landfill located in Martinez, California and operated by Acme Fill Corporation (Acme) generates landfill leachate that must be properly managed to protect the public and the environment. Discharge of treated landfill leachate to the sanitary sewer system provides a cost - effective strategy to properly manage the leachate generated during closure and post - closure periods. Board of Directors authorization is required for the General Manager to execute permit contracts. RECOMMENDATION: Authorize the General Manager to execute the Permit Contract with Acme Fill Corporation regarding the acceptance of treated leachate. FINANCIAL IMPACTS: No adverse financial impacts are anticipated from entering into this contractual agreement with Acme. Source Control, laboratory, and legal costs are recovered for billable activities (e.g. staff hours or analyses performed). Treatment plant and collection system costs are recovered through the assessment of the Sewer Service Charge using the industrial billing formula in the District Code with the Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD) strength being calculated as a multiplier of the effluent COD concentration. Acme is required through the Permit Contract to maintain a specified minimum level of liability insurance coverage and to post and maintain a bond to cover unanticipated costs associated with an upset of the treatment plant operations, or damage to CCCSD equipment or structures, that results from accepting Acme's treated landfill leachate. ALTERNATIVES /CONSIDERATIONS: Two primary alternatives were considered: to not accept the treated leachate; or to authorize the discharge of treated leachate through the existing Class II Industrial User Permit Program. Neither alternative were considered to be preferred over the proposed Permit Contract for the following reasons. 4/26/00 U: \PPr \Raposa \pospap20.wpd Page 1 of 5 POSITION PAPER Board Meeting Date: May 2, 2000 Subject: AUTHORIZE THE GENERAL MANAGER TO EXECUTE A PERMIT CONTRACT WITH ACME FILL CORPORATION FOR DISCHARGE OF TREATED LANDFILL LEACHATE A decision not to accept the Acme landfill leachate would eliminate the risks associated with accepting its pretreated wastewater; however, the District's role as a publicly owned treatment works (POTW) includes serving industrial dischargers. The closure of landfills requires that the leachate be handled through some means. Pretreatment and disposal to a POTW is the most common means of handling this wastewater. Multiple layers of state and local regulatory agencies incorporated into the Acme landfill closure requirements that high quality pretreated leachate would be discharged to CCCSD as the approved disposal method. Both Acme and the regulatory agencies deemed discharge of pretreated leachate to the District to be the most cost - effective and environmentally sound disposal alternative. Settlement of the Acme Lawsuit is premised on disposal of the leachate to CCCSD, provided Acme continues to meet the stringent District pretreatment requirements. The alternative permitting mechanism to authorize the discharge of treated leachate was determined to not be as protective of the District's operation and revenue recovery. A Class II IU Permit relies solely on the District's Local Limits whereas the Permit Contract enables lower discharge limits for existing parameters, or discharge limits for additional parameters, to be established. BACKGROUND: Acme pretreated landfill leachate has been accepted by the District since the early 1990's, first through pilot testing programs and, subsequently through the existing Permit Contract issued in 1994. The pilot testing programs were required by the District to demonstrate that the leachate could be adequately treated so that it would not present a pass- through or upset problem for the District. The pilot tests and subsequent studies demonstrated that Acme could do so. The conditions of the initial Permit Contract were drafted to very protective of the District and to allow for modifications to the discharge conditions in the event of changes to the regulations or other circumstances requiring imposition of modified pretreatment requirements. The conditions of the original Permit Contract remain in effect through administrative actions extending the original Permit Contract term. After an initial start -up period, Acme has been able to successfully operate the pretreatment facility in such a manner as to be in basic compliance with our pretreatment requirements. Within the last three years, only minor compliance issues have arisen. This 4/26/00 U: \PPr \Raposa \pospap20.wpd Page 2 of 5 POSITION PAPER Board Meeting Date: May 2, 2000 subject: AUTHORIZE THE GENERAL MANAGER TO EXECUTE A PERMIT CONTRACT WITH ACME FILL CORPORATION FOR DISCHARGE OF TREATED LANDFILL LEACHATE Permit Contract attempts to take into account and improve on the protections in the original Permit Contract, with consideration of Acme's performance history, and the need to address certain additional issues. The Permit Contract presented in this position paper contains the following significant changes over the current Permit Contract: • The term of the Permit Contract is three (3) years; • The sources of acceptable wastewater are expanded to include East Parcel leachate and seeps, and monitoring well purge water from locations within the landfill; • The flow limitations have been modified to allow some flow periods greater than 25 gpm while maintaining a monthly average of 25 gpm; • The Permit Contract contains an option to change the discharge flow rates from a steady 25 gpm average monthly flow throughout the year to adjusted seasonal flows of less than 25 gpm monthly average in the summer months (high demand for reclaimed water) and more than 25 gpm in the winter months (low reclaimed water demand and high flows through the treatment plant) if such a change in flow rates is beneficial to the District's operations; • Exceedence fees for Total Suspended Solids (TSS) in the effluent which were established through formal enforcement actions are contained in the Permit Contract document; • Percent COD removal standards with exceedence fees are established with an option for Acme to undertake a demonstration project to conclusively demonstrate the effect of Powder Activated Carbon (PAC) on the measured COD removal; • Requirement to install a discrete sampling structure or a functional equivalent to enable District monitoring to be conducted without advance notice of Acme; 4/26/00 UAPPr \Raposa \pospap20.wpd Page 3 of 5 POSITION PAPER Board Meeting Date: May 2, 2000 Subject: AUTHORIZE THE GENERAL MANAGER TO EXECUTE A PERMIT CONTRACT WITH ACME FILL CORPORATION FOR DISCHARGE OF TREATED LANDFILL LEACHATE • The self- monitoring program required by Acme (contained in Exhibit A) is modified with reduction in frequency of monitoring for certain parameters and deletion of several parameters determined to not be present in the treated leachate based on more than 5 years of monitoring data. As with previous the Permit Contract, this Permit Contract includes conditions which allow the District to change the leachate monitoring parameters or effluent limits to protect District facilities and operations, or to meet new regulatory requirements. The District also has the right to suspend or terminate the leachate discharge if acceptance of the treated leachate affects the District's ability to meet NPDES limits, results in the District's treatment plant being classified as a hazardous waste treatment facility, or affects the District's ability to reclaim water. Staff has concluded that approval of this contract is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) on several grounds. • CEQA Guidelines Section 15308 provides an exemption where a regulatory agency which is authorized by state or local ordinance to assure the maintenance or protection of the environment takes action to effect such a purpose. The execution of a Permit Contract with Acme Fill Corporation is intended to maintain and protect the waters and other aspects of the environment. • Public Resources Code Section 21080(b)(16) exempts projects undertaken by a local agency to implement a rule of a state agency action under a certified regulatory program. Part of the intent in entering into the Permit Contract is to enable Acme to comply with a Regional Water Quality Control Board's Clean Up and Abatement Order. • CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3) provides an exemption for projects where it can be said with certainty that there is no possibility for significant effect on the environment. Given the pretreatment standards included in the proposed Permit Contract, such is the case. 4/26/00 WPPARapoWpospap20.wpd Page 4 of 5 POSITION PAPER Board Meeting Date: May 2, 2000 Subject: AUTHORIZE THE GENERAL MANAGER TO EXECUTE A PERMIT CONTRACT WITH ACME FILL CORPORATION FOR DISCHARGE OF TREATED LANDFILL LEACHATE Approval of this contract will establish the Board of Directors' independent finding that this contract is exempt from CEQA.

Submitted By: Initiating Dept /Div.: John Pearl Plant Operations /Maintenance Plant Maintenance Division Manager REVIEWED AND RECOMMENDED FOR BOARD ACTION: J. Pearl J. Kelly K. Alm r tani C Ge a eaS W. tt ; / nerl Manager ISSUE: The Board of Directors is required to make findings that exempt projects from public bidding and to authorize the General Manager to execute capital improvement contracts over $50,000. RECOMMENDATION: Adopt a resolution approving a dewatering upgrade project for the District's four Alfa -Laval centrifuges, and authorize the General Manager to execute contracts for various portions of the project with Alfa -Laval Separation, Inc., the sole- source manufacturer of the District's dewatering centrifuges. FINANCIAL IMPACTS: The cost of this project is estimated to be $1,300,000. ALTERNATIVES /CONSIDERATIONS: At this point, there are three alternatives: Repair one of four centrifuges that is presently out of service at an estimated cost of $75,000 and charge the work to the Plant Operations Department Operations and Maintenance Budget. This would take approximately 22 weeks and would restore the dewatering capacity but would not provide service life extension nor improved dewatering. 2. Upgrade all four of the existing centrifuges, while making repairs and incorporating the technological improvements the manufacturer has developed since the centrifuges were placed into service by the District in 1988, and purchase critical spare parts. This work will significantly extend the life of these machines and produce a drier product that will require less fuel to incinerate. The upgrade cost, as shown in Attachment 1, is estimated to be $1,300,000.

Redesign the dewatering system that could incorporate new equipment from other potentially qualified manufacturers. The estimated cost to design and construct a new system would exceed $14,000,000. BACKGROUND: The Plant Operations Department (POD) operates four Alfa -Laval Model PM 75000 dewatering centrifuges to dewater sludge; the dewatered sludge is then pumped to the multiple -hearth furnaces for incineration. Both the centrifuges and pumps have been in operation since 1988; the combination of centrifuges and pumps was selected because they produced an acceptably dry sludge cake and minimized odor potential through the dewatering process. During the 12 years the centrifuges have been in service, one of the centrifuges (on a rotating basis) has been out of service for repairs much of the time. This is not unexpected because centrifuges are high- speed, high- maintenance equipment that have some parts with long lead times. Two operating centrifuges are required to provide the necessary dewatering capacity. Recently, one of the centrifuges had a failure that requires replacement of major components, indicating that significant reconditioning is required of all four machines. Since 1988, Alfa -Laval Separation, Inc., has developed technology to upgrade Model PM 75000 centrifuges to produce a drier sludge cake, to be more reliable, to be easier to maintain, and to extend the service life of the centrifuges. The recommended project elements include the repair, reconditioning, and upgrade of an out - of- service centrifuge; reconditioning and upgrade of the remaining three centrifuges to current dewatering standards using unique technology developed by Alfa -Laval Separation, Inc.; the purchase of a complete spare rotating assembly that will also incorporate Alfa -Laval Separation's latest technology; and the purchase of one spare main -drive and one spare back - drive electric motor. The spare units and assemblies will provide almost immediate replacement and uninterrupted service. This work has been initiated as District Project 6151 and is included in the draft Capital Improvement Budget Addendum. Specifically, approval is sought to sole source the modifications, upgrades, and repairs of the four Alfa -Laval centrifuges to Alfa -Laval Separation, Inc., using shop facilities in Houston, Texas, and Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. 4/27/00 SACorrespondence\POSPAPR \2000 \Centrifuges.JCP.pp.wpd Page 2 of 6 POSITION PAPER Board Meeting Date: May 2, 2000 Subject: ADOPT A RESOLUTION APPROVING A DEWATERING UPGRADE PROJECT, AND AUTHORIZE THE GENERAL MANAGER TO EXECUTE CONTRACTS WITH ALFA -LAVAL SEPARATION, INC. Staff has concluded that this project is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) under District CEQA Guidelines, Section 18.2, since it involves minor alterations to an existing public structure with no expansion of use beyond that previously existing. Approval of this project will establish the Board of Directors' independent finding that this project is exempt from CEQA. RECOMMENDED BOARD ACTION: Adopt a resolution finding that pursuant to the Public Contracts Code and District Purchasing Standard S -013, entering into a series of contracts with Alfa -Laval Separation, Inc., is required to provide the District with reliable dewatering capacity. The resolution also includes a finding that the public interest is best served by utilizing the unique technology that Alfa -Laval Separation, Inc., the supplier of the District's existing four centrifuges, has developed to upgrade these specific machines. The resolution also states that the District's dewatering capacity is presently reduced by one fourth, and time is of the essence to return these machines to full capability so the District's mission of treating sewage can continue to be properly fulfilled.

Freitas P. Morsen 'harles W. Bbtts, General Manager ISSUE: The Board reviewed the personnel needs of the District for Fiscal Year 2000 -2001 at its April 6, 2000, meeting. Accordingly, staff is submitting the Personnel Budget for Board approval. BACKGROUND: Each department has reviewed its staffing requirements for Fiscal Year 2000 -2001. The Personnel Budget includes departmental overviews providing summary information, personnel actions taken during Fiscal Year 1999 -2000, requested changes and their justifications, organizational charts reflecting current staffing and proposed changes, and new job classification descriptions. The attached summary sheet highlights the effect of each department's staffing requests on the number of total authorized positions in the District and the costs in salaries and benefits. As shown in the summary, the total number of authorized regular positions in the District will remain the same as last year. Eight Co -op student positions are requested this year which are two fewer than last year. The salaries and wages in the 2000 -2001 O & M Departmental Budgets will increase from the previous year due to the anticipated cost -of- living salary adjustments and any merit and longevity increases scheduled in 2000 -2001. Local One was invited to meet and confer on those items that were negotiable, but informed staff they did not feel it was necessary to meet.

RECOMMENDATION: Create and add two Engineering Assistant II positions; delete two Engineering Assistant 1 /II positions; adopt the job classification descriptions for Engineering Assistant I and Engineering Assistant II; and amend the Engineering Assistant III job classification description. FINANCIAL IMPACTS: If an Engineering Assistant II is hired instead of an Engineering Assistant I, the difference would be $8,236 for the first eighteen months of the appointment; none thereafter. ALTERNATIVES /CONSIDERATIONS: Retain the current classifications and job assignments for Engineering Assistant I, II and III. BACKGROUND: In the Personnel Budget for Fiscal Year 2000 -2001, the Engineering Department combines the Sewer Service Charge Section with the Permit Section, and reclassifies former Sewer Service Charge Technician Brenda Wener to the position of Engineering Assistant I. These actions are proposed to alleviate staffing problems caused by lack of trained staff due to a retirement in the Permit Section and a termination in the Sewer Service Charge Section. Combining the staffs also provides cross training, emergency backup of critical functions, streamlines work processes, reduces redundancies and errors, and helps to standardize record keeping and policy application. By combining these duties, the jobs become more complex. The experience and qualification demands of the Engineering Assistant II level position have been amended 4/26/00 H:\ Backup \FILES \PERSMISC \eng123.pp.wpd Page 1 of 23 POSITION PAPER Board Meeting Date: May 2, 2000 Subject: CREATE AND ADD TWO ENGINEERING ASSISTANT II POSITIONS (G -65, $3,959 - 54,798); DELETE TWO ENGINEERING ASSISTANT 1 /II POSITIONS (G -60, G- 65); ADOPT THE JOB CLASSIFICATION DESCRIPTIONS FOR ENGINEERING ASSISTANT I AND ENGINEERING ASSISTANT II; AND AMEND THE ENGINEERING ASSISTANT III JOB CLASSIFICATION DESCRIPTION. from eighteen months experience as an Engineering Assistant I at the District to four years of technical engineering work, including two years involving work comparable to that of an Engineering Assistant I at the District, and thus, these positions no longer meet the criteria of the Personnel Advancement policy, which is eighteen months at an entry level position. Therefore, these classes will be removed from the Personnel Advancement Policy. District management has met and conferred with the Public Employees' Union, Local No. One and obtained agreement to this concept as part of the negotiations for the 2000 -2003 Memorandum of Understanding. The proposed staffing levels in the newly combined Permit & Sewer Service Charge Section are shown on the attached organizational chart. The two current Engineering Assistant 1 /II positions would become Engineering Assistant Ils, providing customer service at a full journey level. It is necessary to provide new job classification descriptions for Engineering Assistant I, Engineering Assistant 11, and Engineering Assistant III; these are attached. RECOMMENDED BOARD ACTION: Create and add two Engineering Assistant II positions; delete two Engineering Assistant 1 /II positions; adopt the job classification descriptions for Engineering Assistant I and Engineering Assistant II; and amend the Engineering Assistant III job classification description. 4/26/00 H:\ Backup \FILES \PERSMISC \eng123.pp.wpd Page 2 of 23 W 0 CD W � � W C y _ V � .
