ISSUE: Owners of properties on Via Vaqueros and Alhambra Valley Road in
unincorporated Martinez are interested in connecting their homes to the Central Contra
Costa Sanitary District ( CCCSD) sewer system, and have requested formation of an
Alhambra Valley Assessment District (AVAD) to finance an extension of the public
sewer system. Board approval is required for the AVAD.
RECOMMENDATION: Find that the project is exempt from the California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and approve initiating the formation of Via Vaqueros
AVAD No. 2008 -7.
FINANCIAL IMPACTS: There are administrative costs for initiating the formation of an
AVAD. The AVAD participants eventually will pay these costs if an AVAD is actually
formed.
ALTERNATIVES /CONSIDERATIONS: Reject or defer initiating formation of the AVAD.
These actions would halt or delay the AVAD proceedings and would be inconsistent
with the District's efforts to assist property owners who wish to voluntarily convert from
septic systems to public wastewater utility service.
BACKGROUND: Owners of properties located on Via Vaqueros and Alhambra Valley
Road in unincorporated Martinez have contacted District staff to obtain information
regarding connecting their homes to CCCSD's public sewer system. At least six of the
ten property owners whose properties could benefit from the extension of a public sewer
have expressed interest in investigating and forming an Alhambra Valley Assessment
District (AVAD). The area where the AVAD would be formed is shown on Attachment 1.

subject: CONSIDER THE FORMATION OF AN ALHAMBRA VALLEY ASSESSMENT
DISTRICT (AVAD) FOR PROPERTIES ON VIA VAQUEROS AND ALHAMBRA
VALLEY ROAD IN UNINCORPORATED MARTINEZ FOR INSTALLATION OF
SEWER IMPROVEMENTS; ADOPT RESOLUTIONS OF INTENTION TO CREATE
VIA VAQUEROS AVAD NO. 2008 -7 FOR APPROVAL OF THE BOUNDARY, AND
REQUESTING CONSENT OF CONTRA COSTA COUNTY FOR CCCSD TO
CONDUCT PROCEEDINGS FOR THE AVAD
The initial steps toward creation of Via Vaqueros AVAD No. 2008 -7 are for the Board of
Directors to adopt a resolution indicating CCCSD's intention to designate an area within
which contractual assessments are appropriate; briefly describing the proposed
financing for the project; establishing the boundaries of the AVAD; setting the time,
date, and place for a public hearing at which interested persons may inquire about or
object to the proposed program; and directing staff to prepare an Engineer's Report
describing the project and financing arrangements.
Additional resolutions are required to approve the boundary of the assessment district
and to request the consent of Contra Costa County for CCCSD to conduct proceedings
for Via Vaqueros AVAD No. 2008 -7.
Staff has concluded that this project is exempt from CEQA under District CEQA
Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3), since it can be "seen with certainty that there is no
possibility that the activity in question may have a significant adverse effect on the
environment." This certainty is based on the District's past experience with numerous
sewer construction projects of this nature, the relatively short distance involved, and the
District's mitigating construction specifications that would be required of the project.
Approval of this project will establish the Board of Directors' independent finding that
this project is exempt from CEQA.
RECOMMENDED BOARD ACTION: Authorize formation of an AVAD consisting of 10
properties on Via Vaqueros and Alhambra Valley Road by:
1. Adopting a resolution of intention to create Via Vaqueros AVAD No. 2008 -7 for the
purpose of installing sewer improvements (Exhibit 1);
2. Adopting a resolution approving the boundary of the assessment district (Exhibit 2);
and
3. Adopting a resolution requesting consent from Contra Costa County for CCCSD to
conduct proceedings for Via Vaqueros AVAD No. 2008 -7 (Exhibit 3).

RESOLUTION OF INTENTION TO CREATE VIA VAQUEROS
ALHAMBRA VALLEY ASSESSMENT DISTRICT NO. 2008 -7
FOR THE PURPOSE OF INSTALLING SEWER IMPROVEMENTS
WHEREAS the public health and the environment would be best protected by the
expansion of the public sewer system;
WHEREAS the construction and installation of a sanitary sewer pipeline, together
with appurtenant work and facilities, in areas not presently connected to the sewer
system would facilitate the elimination of potential public health problems due to failing
septic systems; and
WHEREAS it would be convenient and advantageous to establish a boundary
around an area within which the District and property owners may enter into contractual
assessments and make arrangements to finance public improvements to parcels which
are developed and where the costs and time delays involved in creating an assessment
district pursuant to alternative provisions in the law would be prohibitively large relative
to the cost of the improvement.
THEREFORE, the Board of Directors of the Central Contra Costa Sanitary District
resolves:
1. This Board intends to approve the following improvement under the authority
of the Municipal Improvement Act of 1911, as amended, to wit: Construction
and installation of approximately 525 linear feet of sanitary sewer line, together
with appurtenant work and facilities located at Via Vaqueros in unincorporated
Martinez, California.
2. This Board finds that the parcels within the Alhambra Valley Assessment
District are shown within the boundaries of the map entitled, "Proposed
Boundary of Via Vaqueros AVAD No. 2008 -7."
3. This Board intends to levy a special assessment upon participating parcels
within the described district in accordance with the special benefit to be
received by each parcel of land, respectively, from the improvement. The
improvement proposed will not confer any special benefit upon any publicly
owned land. Hence, there shall be omitted from special assessment all public
streets, alleys, and places and all land belonging to the United States, the
State of California, the County of Contra Costa, and Central Contra Costa
Sanitary District now in use in the performance of a public function.
4. This District will provide loan financing for the improvements to be repaid by
assessments on the property of participating parcel owners. Assessments
shall be paid over a maximum period of fifteen (15) years with interest at a rate
to be fixed by the District.
NAENVRSEC \Position Papers\l-eavitt\2008WVAD 2008 -7 Exhibits 1- 17- 08.doc
5. The procedure for the collection of assessments will be the placement of
assessments on participating parcel owners' tax bills. The first assessments
will be placed on owners' tax bills in fiscal year 2008 -2009.
6. This Board appoints Curtis Swanson, Environmental Services Division
Manager, to prepare the report required by Section 5898.22 of the Streets and
Highways Code.
7. A public hearing shall be held on this matter on April 24, 2008 at the District
offices, 5019 Imhoff Place, Martinez. This date is tentative and may be
modified in the future.
8. The Board independently finds that this project is exempt from the California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) under District CEQA Guidelines Section
5.2(b)(3), since it can be "seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the
activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment." This
certainty is based on the District's past experience with numerous sewer
construction projects of this nature, the relatively short distance involved, and
the District's mitigating construction specifications that would be required of
the project.

respectively, from the improvement. There shall be omitted from assessment, all public streets,
alleys, and places and all land belonging to the United States, the State of California, the
County of Contra Costa, and the District because it has been determined that no special benefit
will be conferred on any such land within the District.
This Board finds that the map is in the form and contains the.matters prescribed by
Section 3110 of the California Streets and Highways Code.

The Board of Directors of the Central Contra Costa Sanitary District (CCCSD) resolves:
On January 17, 2008, the Board adopted a Resolution of Intention, a copy of which is attached
hereto, marked Exhibit 1, and by reference incorporated herein as though fully set forth.
All of the property proposed to be assessed lies within the County of Contra Costa. All public

The County of Contra Costa will, in the opinion of the Board of Directors of CCCSD, be
benefited by the improvements referred to in the Resolution of Intention, and the purposes sought to
be accomplished by the work can best be accomplished by a single, comprehensive scheme of work.
The consent of the County of Contra Costa, through its Board of Supervisors, is hereby
requested to the formation of the Assessment District described in said Resolution of Intention, to the
improvement described, and to the assumption of jurisdiction by the CCCSD Board of Directors for all
purposes in connection with the formation of this Assessment District, the improvements to be made
and the assessment of property within the boundaries of the proposed Assessment District.

Submitted By Initiating Dept /Div.:
Molly Mullin, Engineering Assistant III Engineering /Environmental Services
REVIEWED AND RECOMMENDED FOR BOARD ACTION:
Mullin . Swanson A. Farrell K. Alm m M. Kelly
en al Manager
ISSUE: A Board of Directors' Resolution of Application is required to initiate Local
Agency Formation Commission ( LAFCO) annexation proceedings.
RECOMMENDATION: Adopt a Resolution of Application to initiate LAFCO annexation
proceedings for six areas (see Attachment 1- map) designated as District Annexation
166 (See Attachment 2)
FINANCIAL IMPACTS: The District incurs costs to prepare annexation applications
and pays fees to LAFCO and the State Board of Equalization for annexation processing.
Annexation costs are recovered as "annexation charges" when property is connected to
the public sewer system.
ALTERNATIVES /CONSIDERATIONS: The Board could decline to initiate annexation
of these areas, which would require that the property owners apply directly to LAFCO
for annexation to the District.
BACKGROUND: The owners of eight properties in Martinez, Orinda, and Lafayette
have submitted petitions to the District for annexation. These properties have been
organized into six "annexation parcels ":
Annexation Parcel 166 -1 is (40.56 acres) a wooded, hillside estate property off of
Springhill Road in Lafayette. The existing single - family homes converted from a septic
system to public sewer service in January 2002. The owners petitioned for concurrent
annexation of their adjacent, vacant estate lot because they considered the two lots as
a single property. If the vacant lot were not included it would remain an "island" inside
the District boundaries.
Annexation Parcel 166 -2 is a single - family home that completed its connection to the
public sewer in 2002.

POSITION PAPER
Board Meeting Date: January 17, 2008
subject ADOPT A RESOLUTION OF APPLICATION REQUESTING THAT CONTRA
COSTA COUNTY LAFCO INITIATE PROCEEDINGS TO ANNEX SIX ANNEXATION
AREAS TO THE DISTRICT.
Annexation Parcel 166 -3 is a single - family home that completed its septic conversion to
sewer in 2003.
The owner of Annexation Parcel 166 -4 (43 acres) has received approval from the City of
Lafayette to develop a subdivision of four single - family homes on the property. The City
of Lafayette has adopted a Negative Declaration for this subdivision and annexation to
CCCSD, and has filed a Notice of Determination. A copy of the Negative Declaration
has been provided to the Board of Directors.
Annexation Parcel 166 -5 is comprised of two single - family homes that petitioned for
annexation, and a vacant lot in common ownership with the single - family home on Las
Piedras that connected in 2003. The second home currently remains on septic. The lot
was included to avoid creating a new island inside the District boundary.
Annexation Parcel 166 -6 is a single - family home on septic that petitioned for annexation
in order to extend their lateral for a future sewer connection.
District staff has concluded that annexation of each property in Annexation Parcels
166 -1, 166 -2, 166 -3, 166 -5 and 166 -6 are exempt from CEQA under District CEQA
Guidelines Section 15319, since they involve annexation of existing facilities or lots for
exempt facilities.
Adoption of the recommended resolution will establish the Board of Directors'
independent finding that annexation of Annexation Parcels 166 -1, 166 -2, 166 -3, 166 -5
and 166 -6 is exempt from CEQA and that the environmental effects identified in the City
of Lafayette's approved Negative Declaration for subdivision of Annexation Parcel
166 -4 has been considered.
RECOMMENDED BOARD ACTION: Adopt a Resolution of Application to initiate
LAFCO proceedings for District Annexation 166.

WHEREAS, the change of organization is proposed for the following reasons:
1) Eight (8) property owners within the areas proposed to be annexed
have submitted "Petitions for Annexation" to CCCSD;
2) One (1) property has been included as a "fill -in" parcel to streamline
staff work and avoid the creation of a new island inside CCCSD

4) All of the properties are within the Contra Costa County Urban Limit
Line;
5) CCCSD will assume responsibility, upon annexation, for maintenance
and operation of public sewer facilities required to provide service to
the areas proposed to be annexed;
6) CCCSD requires that all served properties annex to the District

boundary, as shown and described on the maps and geographical descriptions attached
hereto as Exhibits 166 -1 through 166 -6 and by this reference incorporated herein,
comprising a total of 88 acres, more or less; and
WENVRSEC \Position PapersWullin\2008 \Res Annex 166 LAFCO 1- 17- 08.doc
WHEREAS, Contra Costa County is the only affected county (the areas
proposed for annexation to CCCSD are in the cities of Lafayette, Orinda and Martinez);
and no other sewering agencies are involved; and
WHEREAS, the areas proposed for annexation to CCCSD are inhabited (12 or
more registered voters); and
WHEREAS, if the annexation were approved, all of the provisions of the CCCSD
Code would become applicable to the properties annexed including the requirement that
annexation charges be collected at the time of connection to the public sewer system;
and
WHEREAS, staff has concluded that annexation of each of the properties
included in Annexation Parcel areas 166 -1, 166 -2, 166 -3, 166 -5 and 166 -6 is exempt
from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA); and
WHEREAS, the City of Lafayette has adopted a Negative Declaration and filed a
Notice of Determination regarding subdivision and annexation to CCCSD of Annexation
Parcel 166 -4.
NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED by the Board of Directors of the Central
Contra Costa Sanitary District as follows:
THAT CCCSD staff is directed to submit this Resolution of Application requesting
that the Contra Costa County Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCO) initiate
annexation proceedings, as authorized and in the manner required under the
Cortese- Knox - Hertzberg Reorganization Act of 2000, together with a complete
application package including all other required information, forms, questionnaires, fees,
and a mailing list of affected property owners, and of all other property owners and
registered voters who reside within 300 feet of each of the proposed annexation areas.
THAT adoption of this resolution will establish the CCCSD Board of Directors'
independent finding that annexation of each of the properties shown and described in
Exhibits 166 -1, 166 -2, 166 -3, 166 -5 and 166 -6 hereto is exempt from CEQA, and that

Central Contra Costa Sanitary District
January 9, 2008
TO: BOARD OF DIRECTORS
FROM: CURTIS W. SWANSON, DIVISION MANAGER
SUBJECT: CONTRA COSTA LAFCO'S MUNICIPAL SERVICES REVIEW OF
CCCSD
Contra Costa LAFCO recently released for public comment its draft Municipal Services
Review (MSR) of CCCSD and other central county water and wastewater agencies.
The written comment period ends January 25. Comments will also be allowed at the
February 13 LAFCO meeting before LAFCO considers adoption of the MSR. An MSR
assesses the ability of local government agencies to effectively and efficiently provide
services to residents and users. The form and content requirements of the MSR are
provided for in State law and required every five years.
Staff provided input to LAFCO's consultant during the MSR's preparation process and
has reviewed this public draft version. While earlier factual changes requested by staff
have been incorporated into the current document, there are three MSR policy
recommendations of which the Board should be aware and about which additional
comments to LAFCO may be warranted.
1. The MSR for County Sanitation District No. 6 (Stonehurst subdivision north of
Alhambra Valley Road) includes a recommendation that LAFCO adopt a "zero"
Sphere of Influence (SOI) for that district, allowing that district "to continue to exist
until such time as it is physically and financial feasible to annex to CCCSD." When
CCCSD's sanitary sewer system gets close enough to Sanitation District No. 6, the
Regional Board will require connection to CCCSD's system and closure of
Stonehurst's onsite treatment and disposal system. Once constructed later this
year, the closest CCCSD public main will be about 0.4 miles from Stonehurst.
CCCSD's Alhambra Valley facilities will have sufficient capacity to accommodate
the 48 current and future connections in County Sanitation District No. 6. Staff
recommends taking note of this recommendation, but not commenting at this time.
2. CCCSD's MSR notes that a number of properties receiving CCCSD sewer service
have not been annexed and that CCCSD is now in the process of getting these
properties annexed. (The Board has been briefed on this matter previously.) The
MSR recommends that CCCSD's annexation procedures be "reviewed and
updated to insure compliance with the Government Code" regarding serving
N: \ENVRSRV\Planning \Leavitt\LAFCO\MSR\MSR Comments.doc
properties before annexing. Staff is already working with LAFCO to address this
issue, so no comment is needed.
3. The MSR also recommends that LAFCO adjust CCCSD's Sphere of Influence
(SOI) to be consistent with the Urban Limit Line. The SOI is set by LAFCO and
identifies the likely future services area of a local agency. In most cases for
CCCSD, this adjustment would result in a reduction of CCCSD's SOI area,
particularly for those areas beyond the Urban Limit Line in Alhambra Valley, where
CCCSD is working with property owners interested in extending sanitary service
due to septic system operational constraints. Staff believes that the current SOI
adequately reflects the areas that CCCSD needs to include in its long -term
facilities and capacity planning. In the pursuit of CCCSD's mission of protecting
public health and the environment, staff recommends CCCSD oppose this MSR
recommendation. If the Board concurs, staff will send a comment letter to LAFCO
regarding this position and address LAFCO at its February meeting.
Attached for Board review is a draft letter that staff proposes to send to LAFCO
addressing this issue. Staff requests Board comments on the letter and guidance
about CCCSD's response to the MSR.

Dear Ms. Texeira:
CONTRA COSTA LAFCO'S MUNICIPAL SERVICES REVIEW OF CENTRAL CONTRA
COSTA SANITARY DISTRICT
Thank you for the opportunity to comment on LAFCO's Municipal Service Review of Central
Contra Costa Sanitary District ( CCCSD). Overall, your consultant has done a good job
ensuring this MSR accurately assesses CCCSD's manner of and ability to effectively and
efficiently provide services to its customers.
CCCSD, however, opposes the consultant's recommendation that LAFCO adjust CCCSD's
Sphere of Influence (SOI) to be consistent with the County's Urban Limit Line. In most cases,
this adjustment would result in a reduction of CCCSD's SOI area, particularly beyond the Urban
Limit Line in Alhambra Valley, where CCCSD is working with property owners interested in
extending sanitary service due to septic system operational constraints. In the pursuit of its
mission of protecting public health and the environment, CCCSD opposes this MSR
recommendation, and believes that the current SOI adequately reflects the areas that CCCSD
needs to include in its long -term facilities and capacity planning.
If you have any questions regarding these comments, please contact me at 925 - 229 -7255 or
Environmental Services Division Manager, Curt Swanson at 925 - 229 -7336.

James M. Kelly

Agenda Item 6.d.5)
Board Meeting of January 17, 2008
Announcements:
a) San Ramon Household Hazardous Waste (HHW) Mobile Event
On October 4, 2007, the Board approved a plan that could provide up to
three mobile HHW collection events this year to interested communities in
our direct service area. A letter was sent to the City and Solid Waste
Managers of the 9 jurisdictions to gather interest for partnering a mobile
event in their community. On December 21, 2007, staff received a request
for a mobile event from the City of San Ramon. The San Ramon event
has been scheduled for Saturday, June 7, 2008. This is the only mobile
event currently scheduled for fiscal year 2007 -08. However, there are
more cities that have expressed interest, so one event could be scheduled
in the fall and two more in the spring of fiscal year 2008 -09.
b) Letter to Kohler on Advertising Campaign for Class 5 Flushing
System
A recent advertising campaign by Kohler Toilet Company demonstrated
the flushing power of their Class 5 Flushing System by promoting the
flushing of various items such as flowers, a rubber duck, dog food,
clothing, etc. All of these items are capable of causing downstream plugs
in the sewer lateral and sewer mains, which could result in sewer
overflows.
Assistant Engineer Melody LaBella, Chair of the Bay Area Pollution
Prevention Group, which is a Committee of Bay Area Clean Water
Agencies (BACWA), took the lead in composing a letter to Kohler for
BACWA's signature. The letter requests that Kohler halt their campaign.
BACWA's Executive Director Michele Pla raised the issue to the State
Summit Partners. The State Summit Partners are comprised of BACWA,
California Association of Sanitation Agencies (CASA), Clean Water
Environmental Agencies (CWEA), Central Valley Clean Water Association
(CVCWA) and Southern California Alliance of Publicly Owned Treatment
Works (SCAP). The State Summit Partners all agreed to be signatories
on the letter. A copy of the letter is attached for your information.
C)
d)
District Operator Certification Accomplishments
The District was recently notified that all four of the Plant Operators
(Garland Harris, Johnnie Levingston, Robert Maroon, and Jennifer Muir)
who took the State Water Resources Control Board ( SWRCB) Grade II
Operator Certification Examination passed it. Also, Plant Operator III
Dave Clayton and Shift Supervisor Frank Favalora passed the SWRCB
Grade IV Examination. In addition, Utility Worker David Martinez passed
the SWRCB Grade I Examination, and Assistant Engineer Alan Weer
passed the Grade V Examination. In the past two years, 13 Plant
Operations Department (POD) employees have taken and passed 19
certification examinations.
Water Environment Federation Membrane Technology
Conference
Associate Engineer Don Berger will be traveling to Atlanta, Georgia to
attend the Water Environment Federation (WEF) Membrane Technology
Specialty Conference from January 27, 2008 through January 30, 2008.
The conference will present the latest research and experience in the
design and operation of membrane treatment systems for wastewater
treatment and water recycling. Attendance at WEF Specialty Conferences
is included in the 2007 -08 Engineering Department Training and
Conferences Budget.

Dear Mr. Weber:
RE: Advertising Campaign for Class 5 Flushing System
The Bay Area Clean Water Agencies, the California Association of Sanitation Agencies (CASA),
the California Water Environment Association (CWEA), the Central Valley Clean Water
Association (CVCWA) the Southern California Alliance of Publicly Owned Treatment Works
(SCAP), represent publicly owned treatment works (POTWs) located throughout California.
Together, our member agencies provide wastewater collection, treatment and water recycling
services to millions of Californians.
We are writing about your advertising campaign for the Kohler Class 5 Flushing System. The
radio and television ads, as well as the interactive demonstration using "Jo the Plumber" on
your website, exhibit the flushing capacity of your product by showing examples of objects that
can be flushed successfully down the toilet.
As associations that work together on outreach campaigns to the public, we can certainly
appreciate the humor and creativity of your advertising campaign. And, as agencies that work
to encourage water conservation, we commend Kohler for designing and promoting low -flow
toilets that help save water.
However, we are concerned about the example your ads set for the public. Young minds are
impressionable and we are worried that children and others will try to follow the example you
provide in these commercials and attempt to flush these items (including wallets, flowers with
vase, shampoo bottles and a myriad of other items) in the toilet. The items shown being flushed
in your commercials do not belong in the wastewater stream and themselves become
pollutants. In addition, these items are all capable of clogging small sewer pipelines, potentially
leading to overflows of untreated wastewater from the sewer system. Our members are
committed to reducing sanitary sewer overflows, which may have adverse impacts on public
health and the environment. In addition, responding to overflows can require significant clean-
up efforts by local agencies, which face fines and other enforcement action by regulatory
agencies.

POSITION PAPER
Board Meeting Date: January 17, 2008 No.: 7.a. Administrative
Type of Action: STATUS REPORT
Subject: REPORT ON RELOCATION OF FERAL CATS FROM THE DISTRICT
Submitted By: Randall M. Musgraves Initiating Dept /Div.: Administration
REVIEWED AND RECOMMENDED FOR BOARD ACTION:
14e
�ndMusgraves m M. Kelly,
f General Manager
Administration
ISSUE: The District received a request by a member of the public to address the Board
of Directors regarding the relocation of feral cats from District facilities.
RECOMMENDATION: Receive the report and provide direction to staff.
FINANCIAL IMPACTS: Minimal.
ALTERNATIVES /CONSIDERATIONS: The District Board could continue to allow the
feral cats to live at District facilities or remove feral cats more quickly.
BACKGROUND: On December 5, 2007, an employee was scratched by a feral cat
while petting it at a District facility. The employee had a severe reaction requiring
medical attention first from Kaiser and then from the District's medical clinic due to it
being a worker's compensation injury and claim and a lost time accident. The
employee that was injured and other employees expressed concern regarding the feral
cats and the exposure to employees and the public. District management reviewed the
situation and concluded that the feral cats pose a health and safety risk to the public
and employees when entering or leaving the facilities. Relocation of the feral cats was
determined to be the appropriate action.
On December 10, 2007 a memo was sent to employees requesting them to stop
feeding the cats and that removal of the cats was to commence shortly. On December
13, 2007 the Director of Administration and the Communication Services Manager met
with Ms, Gemma Osendorf, President of Community Concern for Cats and Ms. Estelle
Breitmayer, President of the Feral Cat Foundation. Staff communicated to Ms.
Osendorf and Ms. Breitmayer that the District has a responsibility and a liability to
protect the health and safety of the public and employees. The two groups cannot
provide relief for the District's liability. Management agreed to work with the two groups.
Community Concern for Cats would begin to trap the feral cats soon after the holidays.
They requested that District employees be asked if they would assist with acclimating
the feral cats by taking them to their residences and working on their rehabilitation.
Community Concern for Cats would then attempt to place the cats with new owners.

POSITION PAPER
Board Meeting Date: January 17, 2008
Subject: REPORT ON RELOCATION OF FERAL CATS FROM THE DISTRICT
That day, a memo was sent to all employees explaining the agreement and process
and requesting adherence to the modified feeding location and time of day,
recommended by the two groups.
One District employee volunteered to assist with the reacclimation of the cats. No other
employee has come forward. Several employees have already adopted feral cats.
On December 20, 2007 the Director of Administration received a call from Ms. Osendorf
questioning if trapping of the cats was occurring now or soon to occur. Ms. Osendorf
was reassured that no trapping activity was occurring. Staff reiterated that the District
had not changed its plans to work with her and Ms. Breitmayer to relocate the feral cats.
Ms. Osendorf expressed concern about trapping the cats and requested a commitment
that the cats would not be trapped after the attempted relocation efforts concluded, in
two to three months. Staff did not provide that commitment for two reasons. Firstly, if
the relocation efforts fail, trapping and relocating the cats to the County's Animal
Shelter may be the only viable alternative for the District. Secondly, staff cannot
commit the Board to an action. Ms. Osendorf asked about the process to appear
before the Board to discuss her concerns. She has since written a letter, attached,
requesting this matter be placed on the January 17, 2008 Board agenda.
In addition, and in keeping with her commitment to relocate the feral cats, an article
appeared in the January 6, 2008 Contra Costa Times by Animal /Pet Columnist Gary
Bogue informing the public of the need for people to adopt the feral cats.
In addition, the District is in the process of installing signs warning against the illegal
dropping off of animals on District property and signs on Imhoff Drive more clearly
identifying the County Animal Shelter. These actions are designed to eliminate the
public from driving onto District property and leaving their pets.
Since we are just starting these efforts and do not know the effectiveness or outcome at
this time, staff recommends the District to continue working with Community Concern
for Cats, limit feeding of feral cats, move feral cats away from the Headquarters Office
Building, and ultimately remove them from District facilities. This recommendation
should be reevaluated in two to three months to determine if this approach is working.
RECOMMENDED BOARD ACTION: Receive the report and provide direction to staff.

POSITION PAPER
Board Meeting Date: January 17, 2008 No.: 8.a. Engineering
Type of Action: AUTHORIZE CONSTRUCTION CHANGE ORDER
subject: AUTHORIZE THE GENERAL MANAGER TO EXECUTE A
CONSTRUCTION CONTRACT CHANGE ORDER WITH RANGER PIPELINES, INC.
ON THE NORTH ORINDA SEWER RENOVATIONS, PHASE 2.1 PROJECT,
DISTRICT PROJECT 5968
Submitted By: Initiating Dept /Div.:
Munawar Husain, Associate Engineer Engineering / Capital Projects
REVIEWED AND RECOMMENDED FOR BOARD ACTION:
M. Husain A. Antkowiak T. cki ar II K. Jq e . Kelly,
ist ct Counsel General Manager
ISSUE: Authorization by the Board of Directors is required for the General Manager to
execute a construction contract change order in an amount greater than $50,000.
RECOMMENDATION: Authorize the General Manager to execute a change order in
the amount of $116,000.
FINANCIAL IMPACTS: No additional funding is required for the project. There are
adequate funds in the project budget for this change order.
ALTERNATIVES /CONSIDERATIONS: Work has been performed in accordance with
the Project Drawings, and the District is contractually obligated to pay the Contractor.
BACKGROUND: The construction contract for the North Orinda Sewer Renovations
Project, Phase 2.1, DP 5968, was awarded to Ranger Pipelines, Inc. on June 7, 2007.
The project work included installation of 1,155 lineal feet of 8 -inch HDPE sewer lines by
directional drilling, and replacement of 2,073 lineal feet of sewer lines using open -cut
method within the Tarry Lane and Van Tassel Lane sewer easements in Orinda.
Construction work started on July 26, 2007 and was substantially completed and
accepted by the Board on December 20, 2007. During construction a discrepancy was
discovered in the District's Bid Forms. In the Schedule of Bid, payment was provided
for only 2,073 lineal feet of pipe, whereas the work identified on the Project Drawings
required installation of 2,305 lineal feet of 8 -inch pipe using the open -cut method. The
cost of the additional 232 lineal feet of pipe installation is due the Contractor under a
change order at the unit bid price of $500 per lineal foot. The total additional payment
amount will be $116,000. If the work had been properly identified in the Schedule of
Bid, this amount would have been included in the original bid. The change order will
not require a contract time extension.

ISSUE: The Central Contra Costa Sanitary District's (District) 2007 National Pollutant
Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Annual Report has been prepared for
submission to the California Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB), San
Francisco Bay Section. This annual report is presented for the District Board of
Directors' information and acceptance. The Sewer System Overflow and Recycled
Water Annual Reports will be submitted separately at later dates.
RECOMMENDATION: Accept the 2007 NPDES Annual Report.
FINANCIAL IMPACTS: None
ALTERNATIVES/CONSIDERATIONS: None
BACKGROUND: During 2007 the treatment plant received a total of 15,002 million
gallons of wastewater, which equates to an average flow of 41.1 million gallons per day.
This average flow is about 20 percent less than the average flow in 2006, and is mainly
due to relatively less rainfall in 2007. The treatment plant produced an effluent with
annual average carbonaceous biochemical oxygen demand (C -BOD) and total -
suspended solids (TSS) concentrations of 6 and 7 mg /L, respectively. These
concentrations are markedly lower than our NPDES permit standards of 25 and
30 mg /L, respectively. C -BOD and TSS removal efficiency for the treatment plant
averaged 97 percent and 96 percent, respectively. Approximately 4,207 tons of furnace
ash was produced in the District's multiple -hearth furnaces. The ash met regulatory
requirements for final disposal throughout the year.
Once again this year, more than 15,000 NPDES permit- required tests were completed
to comply with the NPDES permit requirements. The treatment plant effluent met all
(100 percent) of the NPDES permit requirements throughout the year, which makes this
the tenth consecutive year of full compliance.
