ISSUE: The Board of Directors' approval is requested to approve the expansion of the
Pharmaceutical Collection Program and authorize the General Manager to execute
memoranda of understanding (MOU) with the City of Clayton, City of Concord, Town of
Danville, City of Martinez, Town of Moraga, and the City of Orinda to be a partner in the
District's Pharmaceutical Collection Program.
RECOMMENDATION: Approve expansion of the Pharmaceutical Collection Program
and authorize the General Manager to execute MOU with the City of Clayton, City of
Concord, Town of Danville, City of Martinez, Town of Moraga, and the City of Orinda to
be a part of the District's Pharmaceutical Collection Program.
FINANCIAL IMPACTS: The annual operating cost per pharmaceutical collection site is
estimated to average between $6,000 and $8,000. The annual operating cost is
estimated to be $54,000 to $72,000 annually for the current three sites and six
expansion collection sites. These costs include waste disposal, outreach, and some
administrative costs.
ALTERNATIVES /CONSIDERATIONS: Alternatives would be to not expand and
continue with the current three collection sites in Martinez and Walnut Creek or
consider other types of pharmaceutical collection alternatives.
BACKGROUND
For the past eight months, the Contra Costa County Office of the Sheriff, City of Walnut
Creek, and the District have been operating the Pharmaceutical Collection Program.
Residents drop off unwanted pharmaceuticals in secure collection bins located at the
Walnut Creek City Hall, Sheriff Field Operations Bureau and County Hospital.
Collection bins for the Sheriff and County Hospital were purchased by the District, and
the Central Contra Costa Solid Waste Authority (CCCSWA) bought the bin for Walnut

Creek. Each city is responsible for obtaining Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) approval
for its collection site and supervising the collection and storage of the unwanted
pharmaceuticals. The District is responsible for arranging and paying for the costs of
disposal of the collected pharmaceutical wastes and outreach.
Since February, the three collection sites have collected more than 3,000 pounds of
pharmaceuticals at a cost of about $12,000. The Walnut Creek site has accounted for
over 70 percent pharmaceuticals collected.
On July 16, 2009, the Board approved continuing the Walnut Creek pharmaceutical
collection program on a permanent basis. At this meeting, staff advised the Board that
other cities have inquired about having collection programs in their communities.
The HHW Committee considered expansion of the Pharmaceutical Collection Program
to other cities in the District service area on August 24, 2009. The HHW Committee
recommended that the collection program be expanded to any interested city.
Letters of interest were sent to cities that are not currently participating in the program.
Staff received responses from six cities (Clayton, Concord, Danville. Martinez, Moraga
and Orinda) asking for a collection program in their city. Lafayette, Pleasant Hill, and
San Ramon declined the District's offer. The letter explained, as with the Sheriff and
Walnut Creek sites, that their city's law enforcement group would be responsible for the
collection and management of the unwanted pharmaceuticals until they are picked up
for disposal. Collection containers would be purchased by CCCSWA, Allied Waste, and
Concord Disposal.
RECOMMENDED BOARD ACTION: Approve expansion of the Pharmaceutical
Collection Program and authorize the General Manager to execute MOU with the City
of Clayton, City of Concord, Town of Danville, City of Martinez, Town of Moraga, and
the City of Orinda to be a partner in the District's Pharmaceutical Collection Program.

ISSUE: Board of Directors' authorization is required for the General Manager to enter
into agreements where no clear authority has been granted from the Board.
RECOMMENDATION: Authorize the General Manager to enter into property
restoration and loss of revenue compensation agreements with Buchanan Fields Golf
Course, Inc. (BFGC) for activities related to the A -line Relief Interceptor, Phase 2A
Project, District Project 5980.
FINANCIAL IMPACTS: Compensation for restoration of the'golf course is $118,500.
Compensation for lost profit is being negotiated and is not expected to exceed $70,000.
ALTERNATIVES /CONSIDERATIONS: The Board can decide not to delegate authority
to the General Manager to execute the agreements.
BACKGROUND: Contra Costa County (County) owns the underlying land rights to the
BFGC and leases the property to Buchanan Fields Golf Course, Inc. In order to
proceed with the construction of the A -line Relief Interceptor, Phase 2A Project in a
timely manner, the District obtained Rights -of -Entry Agreements (ROE) from the County
and BFGC in October 2007. The District adopted a Resolution accepting a Grant of
Easement from the County at the June 18, 2009 Board meeting. The District
compensated the County $116,400.
The ROE with BFGC included terms that required the District to compensate BFGC a
negotiated cost to restore any areas damaged by project construction and to reimburse
the BFGC for lost business profit due to project activities. Upon completion of all
contract work affecting the golf course in March 2009, BFGC provided restoration
proposals from several registered golf course landscapers. Staff negotiated a final
compensation amount of $123,500 for golf course and parking lot restoration.
Mountain Cascade, Inc. was responsible for some of the parking lot damage and

provided $5,000 for their share of that restoration. Staff is currently negotiating with
BFGC the loss of business revenue, which is not expected to exceed $70,000.
The total area in the golf course affected by the construction and permanent and
temporary easements is approximately 66,000 square feet. This translates to a cost of
approximately $4.60 per square foot, taking into account all the costs paid to the
County and BFGC. Based on real estate standard practice and other easements the
District has procured, this is a reasonable level of compensation and reflects the
ongoing goodwill and cooperation between the District and the County and BFGC.
RECOMMENDED BOARD ACTION: Authorize the General Manager to enter into
property restoration and loss of revenue compensation agreements with Buchanan
Fields Golf Course, Inc. for activities related to the A -line Relief Interceptor, Phase 2A

ISSUE: When a reimbursement fee is proposed for a property that could connect to a
"special facility" or a "standard facility," the District Code requires that a public hearing
be held prior to the Board of Directors' consideration of the fee for adoption.
RECOMMENDATION: Conduct a public hearing to receive comments on the proposed
Ordinance (uncodified) to establish reimbursement fees for sanitary sewer facilities in
Alhambra Valley: District Project 5919 (Alhambra Valley Trunk Sewer AVAD 2007 -1); and
Jobs 6412 (Monteira AVAD 2007 -4); 6439 (Reliez Valley AVAD 2007 -3); 6441 (Quail
AVAD 2007 -6); and 6442 (Gordon /Millthwait AVAD 2007 -2). Adopt the Ordinance.
FINANCIAL IMPACTS: If the recommended fees are established by the Board
following the public hearing, the District will recover its investment in the AVAD facilities
over time as connections occur. Additionally, an administrative charge to offset District
costs is incorporated into the reimbursement fees.
ALTERNATIVES /CONSIDERATIONS: Not applicable.
BACKGROUND: The design and construction of special facilities for District Project
5919 (Alhambra Valley Trunk Sewer) were paid for by the District. The design and
construction of standard facilities for Jobs 6412, 6439, 6441 and 6442 were financed by
the District under the Alhambra Valley Assessment District (AVAD) Program. The
District will be repaid in two different ways. Property owners who chose to participate in
the AVADs will repay the District through assessments. Property owners who are not
participating in the AVADs will repay the District through the Reimbursement Program
when they connect to the public sewer in the future. These sewers have been
completed, accepted by the District and contributed by the AVAD participants to the
District for public use.

A public hearing was held earlier this year to establish assessments for those Alhambra
Valley property owners who opted to participate in an AVAD. AVAD participants have
chosen to either pay off their assessment up front or have begun to finance their
assessment on their property tax bill over a period of 15 years.
Property owners who have chosen not to be assessed, and thus have not paid or
financed an assessment, are known as AVAD "non- participants." In the future, these
non - participants may connect to the public sewers, but when they do so, the District will
charge them a reimbursement fee. In such cases, the District Code requires that the
reimbursement fee structure "provide for full reimbursement of any and all costs
associated with installation of local street sewers" (Section 6.220.400). Each AVAD
non - participant's share of the cost of local sewer facilities is being covered by CCCSD.
The reimbursement fees to be considered at this public hearing would allow the District
to recover the non - participants' shares of the cost of the District - constructed or
contributed facilities.
The proposed reimbursement fees are summarized in Attachment 1. The
reimbursement fees were calculated by increasing an amount equal to the 2009
participants' assessment by 3.185 percent to reflect the average investment rate of
return that could have been earned by investing CCCSD funds in the State of
California's Local Agency Investment Fund (LAIF) during the 2008 -2009 fiscal year
(2.185 percent) plus one percent to offset ongoing administrative expenses. This is the
amount a non - participant would pay if connecting to the sewer system between now
and June 30, 2010. The fees would be charged in addition to Capacity Fees and other
District charges, such as those for permits, inspection, and sewer service. Staff will
recommend similar reimbursement fee adjustments for Board consideration annually.
Appropriate notices have been posted and published in the Contra Costa Times. In
addition, individual letter notices were mailed to the owners of all affected properties, as
required by District Code.
RECOMMENDED BOARD ACTION: Conduct a public hearing to receive comments or
the proposed ordinance (uncodified) to establish reimbursement fees for sanitary sewer
facilities In Alhambra Valley: District Project 5919 (Alhambra Valley Trunk Sewer AVAD
2007 -1); and Jobs 6412 (Monteira AVAD 2007 -4); 6439 (Reliez Valley AVAD 2007 -3);
6441 (Quail AVAD 2007 -6); and 6442 (Gordon /Millthwait AVAD 2007 -2). Adopt the
Ordinance.

FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE CSOD ADMINISTRATION, CREW, AND
WAREHOUSE FACILITY, DISTRICT PROJECT NO. 8208
Submitted By: Initiating Dept /Div.:
Paul Seitz, Associate Engineer Engineering / Capital Projects
REVIEWED AND RECOMMENDED FOR BOARD ACTION:
PSeitz A. R&ul cki A. Farrell
Manager
ISSUE: On October 6, 2009, twenty -one (21) sealed bids were received and opened
for the construction of the CSOD Administration, Crew, and Warehouse Facility, District
Project No. 8208. The Board of Directors must award the contract or reject bids within
110 days of the bid opening. Board authorization is required to amend consulting
agreements beyond staffs authority.
RECOMMENDATION: Award a construction contract, authorize the General Manager
to execute the Contract Documents subject to favorable review of insurance certificates,
bond submittals, appropriate Contractor license, and any other required submittals
(SUBMITTALS), and authorize amendments to existing consulting agreements.
FINANCIAL IMPACTS: Approximately $13,933,000, including City of Walnut Creek
Permitting Process, facility conceptual design, detailed design, bid price, contingency,
and construction management.
ALTERNATIVES /CONSIDERATIONS: Reject all bids, which is not recommended.
BACKGROUND: The CSOD administration and crew building was originally
constructed as the District's headquarters office building and was not designed for its
current use as a collection system operations building. The administration and crew
building, warehouse, and corporation yard facilities have reached an age and condition
where significant rehabilitation, upgrading, and replacement are needed. In addition,
CSOD staffing has increased to meet District growth and increased regulatory

demands, therefore, additional space is needed. Overall, the existing CSO facilities do
not meet the current and future needs of the District.
The project consists of construction of a new CSO administration, crew, and warehouse
building. The project also includes site improvements, such as new paving and
landscaping. Prior to the start of construction, the District must obtain permits from the
City of Walnut Creek and address any City requirements. The CSOD staff will move to
Martinez for the duration of the construction. The project is expected to be completed
in spring 2011.
The architectural firm of Calpo Hom & Dong prepared the plans and specifications for
the project. The Engineer's estimate for construction of the CSOD Administration,
Crew, and Warehouse Facility is $13,000,000. This project was advertised on
August 26 and 31, 2009. Twenty -one (21) sealed bids ranging from $8,455,000 to
$11,585,000 were received and publicly opened on October 6, 2009. The Engineering
Department conducted a technical and commercial review of the bids and determined
that Bobo Construction, Inc. is the lowest responsive bidder with a bid amount of
$8,455,000. A summary of bids received is shown in Attachment 1.
The District will administer the construction contract and will provide contract
administration, inspection, survey, office engineering, and submittal review. Staff
recommends retaining Calpo Hom & Dong (CHD), DCM /GeoEngineers (DCM), and
Swinerton Management and Consulting (SMC) to provide construction support for this
project because these consultants performed a key role in preparing the plans and
specifications and have a unique understanding of the project. CHD and DCM will
review shop drawings and submittals, provide responses to requests for information,
review design changes and change orders, attend progress meetings, as needed, anc
provide intermittent construction inspection. SMC will provide construction
management support and specialty inspection. Amendments with not -to- exceed cost
ceilings have been negotiated with each consultant: CHD $470,000 (total agreement
$1,305,000); DCM $52,000 (total agreement $68,432); and SMC $115,000 (total
agreement $165,000).
The funds required to complete this project, as shown in Attachment 2, are
$11,878,000. The total cost of the CSOD Administration, Crew, and Warehouse
Facility is anticipated to be $13,933,000. The current bid climate is very favorable at
this point in time, as indicated by the number of bids received. This translates to a very

low construction price realized by the District that will affect the costs for planning,
design, and construction management as a percent of construction. This project is
included in the fiscal year (FY) 2009 -2010 Capital Improvement Budget (CIB) on pages
GI 21 and 22. Staff has conducted a cash -flow analysis of the General Improvement
Program Budget/Sewer Construction Fund Balance and concluded that adequate funds
can be made available for this project by raising sewer service charge rates, selling
bonds, and /or deferring projects.
The environmental effects of this project were addressed in the Collection System
Operations (CSO) Facilities Improvements Project Mitigated Negative Declaration
approved by the Board of Directors on December 21, 2007. Subsequently, a Notice of
Determination was filed in compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act
(CEQA).
RECOMMENDED BOARD ACTION: Staff recommends the following:
Award a construction contract in the amount of $8,455,000 for the construction of
the CSOD Administration, Crew, and Warehouse Facility, District Project
No. 8208, to Bobo Construction, Inc., the lowest responsive bidder.

SUBJECT: BID PROTEST FROM REEVE- KNIGHT PERTAINING TO CSOD
ADMINISTRATION, CREW, AND WAREHOUSE FACILITY,
DISTRICT PROJECT 8208 - AGENDA ITEM 6 A
On October 12, 2009, the District received a timely protest from Reeve - Knight
Construction, Inc. (Reeve- Knight) pertaining to the Bid submitted by Bobo Construction,
Inc. (BCI), the apparent low bidder (Attachment 1). On October 13, 2009, the District
received a response to the protest from McDonough Holland and Allen PC, a law firm
representing Bobo Construction, Inc. (Attachment 2). District staff and Legal Counsel
have carefully reviewed both letters and have determined that the protest issues raised
by Reeve - Knight are in part without merit and do not require disqualification of the low
bid when taken as a whole. The issues raised do not result in a material change in
BCI's bid, nor unfairly favor BCI in comparison with other bidders. District staff verbally
contacted Reeve - Knight on October 13 and indicated that staffs recommendation to the
District's Board of Directors would be to reject their bid protest.
On October 14, a representative from Reeve - Knight contacted the District and indicated
verbally and via e-mail that they would not be pursuing the bid protest further
(Attachment 3). Attachment 4 is a letter from the District acknowledging Reeve - Knight's
response and indicating that District staff would be recommending to the Board of
Directors to reject the bid protest from Reeve - Knight and proceed with the award to BCI,
the lowest responsive bidder for the CSOD Administration, Crew and Warehouse
Facility, District Project 8208.
During its deliberations with respect to Agenda Item 6 a, Award of a Construction
Contract to Bobo Construction, Inc., the Board of Directors needs to amend staffs
recommendation to include "Reject the Bid Protest from Reeve - Knight Construction, Inc.
"as the first item for consideration, prior to the award of the construction contract and
authorization of agreement recommendations.

Re: CSOD Administration, Crew, and Warehouse Facility
Dear Ms. Boehme,
ATTACHMENT 1
We acknowledge receipt from your website of the Bid Results for the subject. In accordance with Section 20 of
the Instructions to Bidders, we hereby protest the results of the bidding with Bobo Construction listed as
apparent low bidder. This protest is made within (5) business days and is being copied to the apparent low
bidder, as required by the instructions. Our protest is made due to the following:
1) Bobo Construction did not list a subcontractor for `concrete finishes'. The value of this work was just
below the Y2% listing threshold. This subcontractor, however, is required by Specification Section
03360- Special Concrete Floor Finishes 1.03.13 and 1.05.A to be certified by the manufacturer of the
specified system. Diacon, listed by Reeve - Knight is so certified by Retroplate.
2) Bobo did not list a subcontractor for the expansion joint system. Subcontractor prices for this work
exceeded 1/2 a/o of the bid price. Reeve - Knight rightfully listed a subcontractor for this work.
3) Bobo listed `Joseph Bros' for the drywall work. `Joseph Brothers' is evidenced by the Contractors State
License Board as holding only a'B' license. Please see attached. It is not believed that a Contractor
holding a'B' license can contract for this scope without also holding the requisite C -19 "Drywall"
license or, in the event they are also providing `carpentry or framing', without the contract including at
least (2) unrelated trades. Please see the attached as excerpted from the Business and Professions Code.
The bid received from Joseph Brothers proposes to provide drywall and metal framing but does not
propose at least (1) additional trade as is believed to be required by the statute.
4) Bobo listed 'Aclif for the ceramic tile work. The CSLB does not have any record of Aclif. Further, the
representative for the specified tile does not have record of providing pricing to this company.
5) Bobo listed ` Hampa' for window coverings. The CSLB notes that Hampa has certified that they do not
have any employees and are without workers compensation insurance. They are thus not in compliance
with the insurance requirements for the project.
6) Bobo listed ThyssenKrupp for elevator. The basis of Specification Section 14212 - Hydraulic Passenger
Elevator is a proprietary Otis Elevator system. 1.04.13 of that specification states specifically that ,
"Manufacturers other than those named will not be considered until Contracting Officer is satisfied that
systems and equipment proposed for work meet requirements... ". The bid addenda make no mention of
such a satisfactory alternate elevator manufacturer. ThyssenKrupp cannot thus be asserted as an
acceptable substitution prior to bid. Reeve - Knight has listed Otis as specified.
7) Bobo listed `Titan' for fueling equipment. Titan-PME is not a licensed contractor. They cannot be
engaged in a subcontract for this specification.
8) Bobo listed 'OPC' for electrical. The CSLB does not have any record of OPC or any obvious variations.
Further, the representative for the specified generator and transfer switch does not have record of
providing pricing to this company.

Response of Bobo Construction, Inc. to Bid Protest Letter of Reeve - Knight
Construction, Inc., dated.October 12, 2009
Dear Ms. Boehme:
We represent Bobo Construction, Inc. ( "Bobo ") with respect to the above -
referenced bid protest.
Bobo submitted the lowest monetary bid for the project in the sum of $8,455,000.
Reeve - Knight Construction, Inc. ( "Reeve- Knight ") is the disappointed second low
bidder. Reeve - Knight's bid was in the amount of $8,572,288, which is $117,288
higher than Bobo's bid. For the reasons outlined in this letter, Reeve - Knight's protest
is without merit and should be rejected.

In its protest letter, Reeve - Knight states that Bobo did not list a subcontractor for

concrete finishes. However, Reeve - Knight concedes that no listing was required
because the value of this work is less than one -half of one percent.

Reeve- Knight also states that the concrete finish subcontractor must be certified

maybe replaced if that listed subcontractor is not properly licensed. Whether or not
it becomes necessary for Bobo to replace Joseph Brothers as its listed drywall
subcontractor, Bobo will comply with the law, and once again this is not meritorious
grounds for rejection of Bobo's bid.
4. Bobo's listing of "Aclif' for ceramic tile work.
Reeve - Knight contends that Bobo's subcontractor list states "Aclif' for tile work.
Although this is true, it again is not meritorious grounds for rejection of Bobo's bid.
There is no company by the name of Aclif Through inadvertence the correct
name, California Tile Installers, was not properly reflected on Bobo's subcontractor
listing sheet. Bobo either will perform this work with its own forces or, if permitted
by District, substitute California Tile Installers.in place of Aclif. In either case, Bobo
can and will comply with the Subcontractor Listing Law.
5. Bobo's listing of Hampa for blinds.
As stated by Reeve- Knight; Bobo listed Hampa Trading Corporation, which holds
California contractor's license number 900477 in the D52 Window Covering
classification, for "blinds." Reeve - Knight contends that Bobo's bid should be rejected
because the Contractor's State License Board website indicates that Hampa does not
have workers' compensation insurance. After reviewing Reeve - Knight's protest letter,
Bobo contacted Hampa in order to investigate this contention. Hampa has assured
Bobo that it does, in fact, have workers' compensation insurance and has provided a
certificate of insurance to verify this fact.
If for any reason it is determined that Hampa is not properly licensed because of a
defect with respect to its workers' compensation insurance coverage, Bobo will
comply with the law by requesting subcontractor substitution under Public Contract
Code section 4107 (a)(6), which as noted above expressly permits substitution in the
event a listed subcontractor is not properly licensed. Even if Hampa must be replaced
as the subcontractor for the blinds or window covering work, once again this is not
meritorious grounds for rejection of Bobo's bid.
6. Bobo listed ThyssenKrup for elevator work.
Bobo listed ThyssenKrup for elevator work, as alleged by Reeve - Knight.
Apparently, Reeve - Knight mistakenly believes that Bobo was required to list Otis
Elevator instead'of ThyssenKrup because Otis is the only elevator manufacturer

further well established that a bid which substantially conforms to a call for bids may,
though it is not strictly responsive, be accepted if the variance cannot have affected
the amount of the bid or given a bidder an advantage or benefit not allowed other
bidders or, in other words, if the variance is inconsequential. [Citations.]" Ghilotti
Construction Co. v. City of Richmond, 45 Cal.AppAth 897, 904 (1996).
In Domar Electric. Inc. v. City of Los Angeles, 9 Cal.4th 176 (1994), the
California Supreme Court emphasized that the purpose of competitive bidding is "to
secure the best work or suppliers at the lowest price practicable, and they are not
enacted for the benefit or enrichment of bidders, and should be so construed and
administered as to accomplish such purpose fairly and reasonably with sole reference
to the public interest." 9 CalAth at 173. The Supreme Court further stated: "Thus,
[laws] requiring competitive bidding are not to be given such construction as to defeat
the object of insuring economy and excluding favoritism and corruption." /d.
Applying these legal principles, it is clear that Reeve - Knight's bid protest is
without merit. Bobo's bid is fully responsive. Even if any of the issues raised by
Reeve - Knight rise to the level of a bid irregularity, any such irregularity clearly is
minor and can and should be waived by the District.
C. Conclusion.
Based upon the foregoing, Bobo respectfully requests that Reeve - Knight's bid
protest be denied and that the contract for the project be awarded to Bobo as the
lowest responsive and responsible bidder.
Very truly yours,
R6bert W. O'Connor

Attn: Mr. Randy Cannon
Dear Mr. Cannon:
CSOD ADMINISTRATION, CREW, AND WAREHOUSE FACILITY, PROJECT 8208,
PROTEST OF BID
Central Contra Costa Sanitary District (District) staff has carefully reviewed your timely
protest dated October 12, 2009, pertaining to the bid submitted by Bobo Construction,
Inc. (BCI) for the subject project. We have also reviewed the letter submitted by
McDonough Holland & Allen PC on behalf of BCI on October 13, 2009. Based on
District staff and Legal Counsel review, it is our opinion that the issues raised in your
protest letter do not raise material variances from the specifications requiring a bid
disqualification, nor would result in a material change in BCI's bid.
We informed you verbally of District staffs determination /Board recommendation on
October 13, 2009. On October 14, 2009, you informed us verbally and via e-mail that
Reeve - Knight Construction, Inc. will not be pursuing the bid protest further. Our Board
of Directors will formally reject your bid protest at its October 15, 2009 Board Meeting
prior to awarding the construction contract for the subject project to BCI, the lowest
responsive bidder.
Please contact me if you have any questions.

" Recyrlea Paper
Agenda Item 7.a 1)
Board Meeting of October 15, 2009
Written Announcements:
Staff Commendations
a) Laserfiche Award
The District was named winner of the Laserfiche Run Smarter Award.
Laserfiche provides the document imaging system used by the District to
store and manage documents. The award recognizes the District's use of
Laserfiche to provide specific savings, efficiency, and service benefits.
The award will be accepted by Information Technology Analyst John
Phillips at the Los Angeles Laserfiche Conference in January 2010. John
is the project coordinator for the District's Laserfiche implementation and is
the key reason that the award was received. The award includes hotel
accommodations and attendance at the conference, where John will
deliver a presentation describing how the District utilizes Laserfiche.
Staff Training
b) John Ortega to attend Investigation /Enforcement training
in New Mexico
Environmental Compliance Inspector II John Ortega has been awarded a
scholarship by the Western States Project (WSP) to attend a three -day
training in Albuquerque, New Mexico from November 2 through November
4, 2009. This training is included in the Source Control training budget for
fiscal year 2009 -10 but was originally identified to be held in California.
Most expenses will be paid directly by the WSP (e.g. registration, hotel)
while the District will pay other expenses and then be reimbursed under
the WSP scholarship (e.g. travel, meals, incidentals). The total amount the
District will advance for future reimbursement will be less than $800 with
the potential for up to $100 of the expenses not being covered by the
WSP scholarship and therefore paid by the District.
General
c) Orinda Smoke Testing
As part of its on -going efforts to cost effectively evaluate and identify
problems within the collection system, the District is conducting a pilot
smoke testing project in three areas in Orinda involving approximately
21,000 feet of sewer. The smoke testing work will be performed by Veolia
Environmental Services. The goal of smoke testing is to identify breaks in
mains and private laterals, illegal connections such as roof leaders or
storm drains, and deficient plumbing in residences. If identified, these
conditions could reduce infiltration and inflow in the future. Correction
would be addressed by future District projects or code enforcement.
Smoke testing entails releasing a non - toxic, non - staining, and odorless
smoke that is harmless to humans, animals, and material goods into the
sewer system. The smoke moves through the sewer lines and will exit
from any breaks in the line, from any collapsed sewers, or illegal
connections. District staff will be present to address any issues that may
arise. Notification letters were sent to the affected homeowners and door
hangers will be distributed prior to the work. The Orinda Moraga Fire
Department has been notified and will be updated on daily basis. The
work is scheduled to begin on Wednesday, October 14, 2009 and will last
for up to one week. Staff will report back to the Board on the results of the
testing at a future Board Meeting.
d) Clean Water Program Agreement Renewal
The County Board of Supervisors voted to approve the Clean Water
Program (CWP) Agreement renewal at their October 6, 2009 meeting.
According to CWP staff, the participating cities need to sign a resolution
before the agreement can be finalized. Unfortunately, due to a
reassignment within the County Counsel's office, the drafting of this
resolution has been delayed. CWP staff is working to finalize the
agreement this month but an actual date is uncertain at this time. Source
Control staff continue to work on program initiatives (conducting dental
inspections, initiating Best Management Practice (BMP) permit program
for vehicle service facilities including follow -up site inspections). CWP staff
has been informed that due to the extended delays in processing the
agreement renewal, the annual inspection goals for the cities may not be
met this fiscal year.
e) Blanket Agreement with Arborist Consultants
Staff requested proposals from a dozen certified arborists to provide
consulting services during design and construction of collection system
projects. Six proposals were received and evaluated, and staff has
selected the following three Arborists based on experience, work product
and cost:
Joseph McNeil Arborists
Tree Wise
Horticultural Services
Staff is proceeding to negotiate blanket agreements (under $50,000) with
each of the three firms which will be in place through June 30, 2012.
Work assignments will be made on the basis of availability, cost, and
required expertise. The use of these blanket agreements will enable staff
to cost - effectively respond to residents and city requests for evaluating
and protecting trees on District projects.
f) Replacement of Sewer Main in Green Street Neighborhood
in Martinez
Last year, staff attempted to replace the existing sewer main within the
Green Street Neighborhood in Martinez in order to avoid continued
overflows. Although most property owners supported the sewer project,
staff could not obtain the necessary land rights from all nine property
owners, and the project was placed on hold so alternatives could be
considered. Since then, staff has completed their evaluation of the
alternatives and has determined that the best renovation approach
continues to be replacing the sewer and obtaining new easements from
the same nine properties. Staff is ready to re -visit the site to perform
additional survey and design work. Staff is advising the Board, since
some property owners may be concerned that we are coming back into
their neighborhood. Staff will be updating the Board at a future meeting
regarding our planned approach for obtaining the necessary easements.

g) Update on October 14, 2009 Contra Costa County
Employees' Retirement Association Board of Directors
Meeting
At the October 14, 2009 Contra Costa County Employees' Retirement
Association ( CCCERA) Board of Directors meeting, CCCERA staff and
the Actuary were directed to "depool" assets and liabilities by employer,
retrospectively to December 31, 2008. The impact of this change will be
reflected in the next rate study for implementation in 2010 -11.
Once CCCERA releases the "depooling" data and impacts in December
2009; staff will inform the Budget and Finance Committee, and Board of
the impact to the District. Even though this is a significant change, staff
does not believe that there will be a significant financial impact to the
District at this time. That said, the consultant hired to review this issue
has commented to staff that it is. very difficult to absolutely know the
financial impact at this time because only the CCCERA Actuaries have the
data.
General Updates
h) Wet Weather Updates
The first storm of the season arrived on October 13, 2009, producing 3.9
inches of rain at the treatment plant. The peak flow during the storm was
slightly over 140 million gallons per day (MGD). At the peak flow, 80 MGD
was treated in the secondary process and 60 MGD was bypassed to the
holding basins. This was the largest storm in October in many years.
Approximately 11 million gallons of primary effluent was bypassed to the
holding basins. All of the bypassed flows have been drained back and
processed. The treatment plant had no major incidents. However, there .
were several roof leaks and some localized flooding. The treatment plant
remained in compliance with all of the National Pollutant Discharge
Elimination System requirements during the storm event.
The pumping stations performed well during the rain event. For the period
of the storm, the rainfall recorded at the pumping stations was 3.7 inches
in Martinez, 3.5 inches in Sam Ramon, 5.2 inches in Moraga, and 5.0
inches in Orinda Crossroads. A diesel- driven wet weather pump was
utilized at Orinda Crossroads. Electrically- driven wet weather pumps were
utilized at Martinez, Lower Orinda, and San Ramon. There were no
callouts for pumping stations personnel and only one for Collection
System Operations Department personnel. There were no reported
overflows.
i) Products Being Marketed for Disposal of Pet Waste to
Sanitary Sewer
Staff has recently become aware of several products being marketed to
promote disposal of pet waste to the public sanitary. sewer.. Some of these
products are shown on the attached sheets, and they fall into two
categories:
1) So- called "flushable" bags that pet owners are instructed to fill with
pet waste, and then flush down the toilet. The claim that these
bags are "biodegradable," and so are appropriate for flushing is
problematic. Though the bags may biodegrade over time, they
would likely remain intact while in the sewer system posing the risk
of plugging in both the customers lateral and the public sewer. In
addition, the bags could worsen the plastic waste problems at,
pumping stations.
2) Pet waste receptacles for installation on customers' cleanouts or
laterals to provide for discharge of waste and flushing water directly
to the public sewer. These devices range from a simple funnel
attachment to connect directly to a cleanout (similar to an Overflow
Protection Device), to more elaborate toilet -like waste flushers. The
instructions for use of these receptacles include flushing them with
water from a garden hose or a directly connected waterline. In
some cases, users are encouraged to use these receptacles to
flush the flushable bags.
Staff has discussed the pet waste disposal issue with solid waste authority
staff, and jointly concluded that the most environmentally appropriate
disposal method for pet waste is to place it with household garbage for
weekly pick up. Staff intends to discourage the discharge of pet waste to
the sewer system by adding discussion of the bags and pet waste
receptacles to the "don't flush" sections in the Pipeline Newsletter and on
the website at centralsan.org. In addition, we will not issue permits for
installation of receptacles on customers' laterals.

ISSUE: Authorization from the Board of Directors is required to refinance outstanding
existing debt through the sale and delivery of long -term Revenue Refunding Bonds.
RECOMMENDATION: Authorize the refinancing of the outstanding existing 1998 and
2002 bonds.
FINANCIAL IMPACTS: By refinancing the District's outstanding existing debt, in an
amount not to exceed $25 million, cost savings of approximately $1.3 million will be
realized over the remaining term of the bonds.
ALTERNATIVES /CONSIDERATIONS: The Board could choose not to refinance the
outstanding existing debt; however, because of the significant cost and savings due to
favorable interest rates (.75% - 3.7% compared to 4% - 5 %), it is not recommended.
BACKGROUND: In December 1994, the District borrowed $25 million through the sale
and delivery of long -term (20 years) Revenue Installment Certificates. In 1998, due to
favorable interest rates, the remaining principal on the Revenue Certificates was
refinanced to save interest expense over the remaining term.
Current market conditions (interest cost of .75% - 3.7 %) offer the District an opportunity
to achieve a significant savings in debt service (approximately $1.3 million net of the
cost issuance) by refunding the District's 1998 and 2002 bonds using the same
remaining terms. The proposed refunding has been discussed with the Budget and
Finance Committee, and they concur with staffs recommendation.
RECOMMENDED BOARD ACTION: Authorize the refinancing of the outstanding
existing 1998 and 2002 bonds.

REVIEWED AND RECOMMENDED FOR BOARD ACTION:
D. Ratcli yV raves
ISSUE: Authorization from the Board of Directors is required to issue approximately
$33 million of new debt through the sale and delivery of Revenue Certificates of
Participation. ,
RECOMMENDATION: Authorize the sale of a maximum of $33 million of new debt in
the form of Revenue Certificates of Participation for a term of 20 years.
FINANCIAL IMPACTS: By issuing new debt of a maximum of $33 million, the District
will be providing needed funds for capital expenditures relating to the wastewater
system, will help smooth future Sewer Service Charge rates, and will provide for a
minimum fund balance to ensure that the District's cash flow needs are met.
ALTERNATIVES /CC+NSIDERATIONS: The District could consider not issuing new
debt or an amount that is less than $33 million. However, after detailed analysis by
staff, the Sewer Service Charge rate would need to be increased significantly or capital
projects would have to be deferred to meet cash flow requirements if the Board
chooses not to issue debt, or an amount significantly less than $33 million.
BACKGROUND: Staff has presented to the Board at the September 3rd, September
17 th dber 1st meetings, the need to borrow $33 million dollars to provide
financing for certain capital projects relating to the wastewater system (the Sludge
Loading Facility, Standby Power, CSO Facility, HHW Improvements, Wet Weather
Bypass, and Collection System Renovation). Due to favorable market conditions, and
favorable construction bid climate, staff is recommending the sale of Revenue
Certificates of Participation.
Build America Bonds are available for the new debt. These are taxable bonds which
are subsidized by the Federal Government at a rate of 35% of the interest costs. The
District would rely on the advice of the underwriter and pricing consultant whether it

ISSUE: Adoption of a resolution is required to refinance existing 1998 and 2002
Revenue Certificates, or to both refinance existing debt not to exceed $25 million and
issue new debt (Revenue Certificates of Participation) in the amount not to exceed
$33 million.
RECOMMENDATION: Adopt a resolution to refinance existing debt only or to refinance _
both existing debt of $25 million and issue new debt (Revenue Certificates of
Participation) in the amount not to exceed $33 million.
FINANCIAL IMPACTS: By refinancing the District's outstanding debt not to exceed
$25 million, cost savings of approximately $1.3 million will be realized over the
remaining term of the bonds. By issuing new debt of not to exceed $33 million in
Revenue Certificates, the District will be providing needed funds for capital
expenditures relating to the wastewater system, will help smooth future Sewer Service
Charge rates, and will provide for a minimum fund balance to ensure that the District's
cash flow needs are met. By combining both the refinancing and the new issuance, the
District would save approximately $130,000 in issuance costs.
ALTERNATIVES /CONSIDERATIONS: The Board could choose not to adopt
resolutions for refinancing or for both refinancing and issuing new debt; however, based
on current market conditions of both low interest rates and low bid estimates, staff does
not recommend it.
BACKGROUND: Staff is seeking Board direction and authorization regarding refunding
$25 million of existing debt and new debt not to exceed $33 million. The previous two

AUTHORIZING BOTH THE REFINANCING OF EXISTING DEBT OF
APPROXIMATELY $25 MILLION AND THE ISSUANCE OF A MAXIMUM NOT TO
EXCEED $33 MILLION IN NEW DEBT
Position Papers provide answers to staff. The Board is now being asked to adopt the
appropriate resolution to authorize the refunding of a maximum of $25 million or both
the refunding of $25 million and the sale of a maximum of $33 million new debt using a
negotiated or competitive method, based upon the Board's actions.
If the Board authorizes the refinancing of the 1998 and 2002 Revenue Certificates only,
staff is recommending using the negotiated sale method at a cost of issuance of
approximately $262,000 for the cost of issuance. The Board will be asked by staff to
adopt the appropriate resolutions, green attachment.
If, however, the Board authorizes the issuance of $33 million in new debt in addition to
the $25 million refinancing, then staff will recommend to the Board to combine the sale
into one, and use the negotiated sale method. A savings of approximately $130,000
will be realized by combining the two offers versus if the District sold the issues
separately. The Board will be asked by staff to adopt the appropriate resolutions, blue
attachment.
At the Board meeting on October 1, 2009, Tom Lockard, Financial Advisor from Stone
& Youngberg, discussed two approaches to bond sales, competitive sale and
negotiation sale. The District has done both in the past with the 1998 issue being sold
in a negotiated sale and the 2002 issue being sold in a competitive sale.
A competitive sale sets a day and time to take bids from interested underwriters. A
negotiated sale allows for pre- marketing and market timing to get the best possible
interest rate. An independent pricing consultant works for the District on the
negotiations to ensure a fair interest rate.
Mr. Lockard and Mr. Adams, Bond Counsel from Jones Hall, are recommending a
negotiated sale based on the current volatility in the market and the ability to pre- market
the sale.
The attached resolution for the refinancing only using a negotiated sale, authorizes the
issuance of Refunding Bonds, approves the execution of the Indenture of Trust with
U.S. Bank, provides for a minimum savings threshold, that if not met, the Refunding
Bonds would not be sold, approves the Preliminary Official Statement, engages Jones

To the Board of Directors of
Central Contra Costa Sanitary District
Martinez, California
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of the Central Contra Costa Sanitary District as
of and for the years ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, as listed in the table of contents. These basic
financial statements are the responsibility of the District's management. Our responsibility is to express
an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of
I America and the State Controller's Audit Requirements for California Special Districts. Those
standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain a reasonable assurance about whether the
financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis,
' evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as. well as
evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable
basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the
' financial position of the Central Contra Costa Sanitary District as of June 30, 2009 and 2008, and the
changes in financial position and cash flows for the years then ended in conformity.with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America, as well as accounting systems prescribed
by the State Controller's office for special districts.
The Management's Discussion and Analysis is not a required part of the basic financial statements but is
supplemental information required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America. We have applied certain limited procedures, which consisted principally of inquiries of
management regarding the methods of measurement and presentation. of the required supplementary
information. However, we did not audit this information and express no opinion on it.
Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming opinions on the financial statements that
collectively comprise the District's basic financial statements. The combining fund financial statements
and schedules are presented for purposes of additional analysis and are not a required part of the basic
financial statements. The combining fund financial statements and schedules have been subjected to the
auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, are fairly
stated in all material respects in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

The total net assets of the District increased to $611.7 million in 2008 -09, a $10.1 million increase from
2007 -2008. The increase in net assets is the result of net income of $3.8 million and capital
contributions of $6.3 million (shown in the next table).
By far the largest portion of the District's net assets (90.3% percent) reflects its investment in capital
assets (e.g. land, buildings, machinery, equipment, and sewer line infrastructure), less any related debt
used to acquire those assets that is still outstanding. The District uses these capital assets to provide
services to its ratepayers; consequently, these assets are not available for future spending. Although the
District's investment in its capital assets is reported net of debt, it should be noted that the resources
needed to repay this debt must be provided from other sources, since the capital assets themselves
cannot be used to liquidate these liabilities. There is currently $3.2 million restricted for debt service.
The remaining balance of $56.4 million in unrestricted net assets may be used to meet the District's
ongoing obligations to its ratepayers and creditors.

In 2008 -09, operating revenues increased by $3.5 million or 7.03 %; non - operating revenue decreased by
$3.1 million or - 9.55 %. The change in total revenue resulted in a small increase of $0.4 million or
0.51 %. The SSC rate increased in 2008 -09 by 3.7% and there were new connections to the system.
Additionally, a portion of SSC revenue was shifted from non - operating to operating revenue. The total
' impact of these changes results in a $3.4 million increase in SSC operating revenue, and a decrease of
41.0 million in SSC non - operating revenue. Property Tax revenue had a modest $0.3 million increase
due to a 2.33% growth to the tax base, in spite of the sub -prime mortgage crisis and recession. In 2008 -
09, permit and inspection fees decreased by -$0.2 million, or - 18.08 %, in the struggling economy.
Interest and All Other revenue decreased by -$2.1 million, or - 55.65 %. This is mostly due to lower
interest earnings on District investments due to lower investment rates and investment balances.
' In 2008 -09, operating expenses increased by $3.9 million or 5.27 %. This is mainly due to increases in
total labor, depreciation expense, increased self- insurance claims, technical services, chemical, and
I utility costs. Labor and Benefits increased by $2.1 million or 5.70% due to cost -of- living adjustments,
merit increases, filling of vacant positions, and increased benefit costs in general. Depreciation expense
increased by $0.8 million, which reflects new capital additions. Non - Operating Expense, which is made
91
up of debt service interest expense decreased slightly as more principal was paid off. Total 2008 -09 ,
income before capital contributions decreased from $7.2 million in 2007 -08 to $3.8 million in 2008 -09
or a net decrease of -$3.4 million or -46.82 %. '
Capital contributions in 2008 -09 were $6.3 million compared to $10.7 million in 2007 -2008, resulting in
a decrease of $4.4 million or - 41.55 %. This was mainly due to less contributed sewer lines and '
connection fees due to the construction and housing slowdown. The total change in net assets decreased
from $17.9 million in 2007 -08 to $10.1 million in 2008 -09.
CAPITAL ASSETS
As of June 30, 2009, the District's investment in capital assets totaled $578.9 million, which is an
increase of $18.6 million or 3.32% over the capital asset balance of $560.3 million at June 30, 2008.
Capital assets include the District's entire major infrastructure including wastewater treatment facilities,
sewers, land, buildings, pumping stations, vehicles, and furniture and equipment exceeding our
capitalization policy limit of $5,000, net of depreciation. A comparison of the District's capital assets
over the past 3 fiscal years is presented below:

The major reasons for the increase of $18.6 million in capital assets, net of depreciation, are:
• Sewer pipe ongoing renovations, pumping station improvements, and contributed sewer lines
($32.6 million)
• Treatment plant infrastructure renovations, upgrades, equipment, and improvements ($4.1
million)
• All other asset categories, including construction in progress, decreased slightly ($0.8 million)
• Capital Asset increases are offset by an increase of $17.2 million in accumulated depreciation
due to our increasing capital asset value and its associated depreciation expense.

IDEBT ADMINISTRATION
The District has the following outstanding debt as of June 30, 2009:
1998 Revenue Refunding Bonds $ 10,820,277
2002 Revenue Bonds 13,585,000
Water Reclamation Loan Contract 1,484,491
' $ 25,889,768
See Note #6 in the audited financial statements.
ECONOMIC AND OTHER FACTORS
Changes in the state budget have a significant impact on the District. The State currently faces an
unprecedented budget deficit. Previous California budget deficits were partially remedied by shifting a
portion of local property tax to the state in 2004 -05 and 2005 -06. The tax shift ended in 2006 -07, and
' the voters passed Proposition IA that mandates the State repay any future property tax that it borrows in
an effort to curtail local government tax raids.
The Governor and legislature voted to suspend Proposition IA, and the District will lose a portion of
property tax revenue in 2009 -10. The amount is estimated to be approximately $1.2 million. The State
is obligated to pay back local governments, plus interest, in 3 years. It is uncertain if the State will have
the resources for repayment. The State's problems will continue into future budgets and will have a
trickle -down effect on local governments.
tSome of the other factors the District faces in the future are:
• The recession, recovery, and the future state of the economy
• Large market losses in 2008 and 2009 will increase the cost of retirement benefits
• Other Post - Employment benefit required contributions based on actuarial analyses using lower
interest rates
' • Reduced new connections and connection fees
• Regulatory requirements becoming more stringent, causing the District to spend more on
compliance, both for operations and maintenance costs and capital projects
• Low interest rates negatively impact interest earnings
In addition to making efforts to reduce spending and improve process efficiencies, the District has the
ability to raise the Sewer Service Charge to meet our long -term commitments. The District has a
Standard and Poors AAA rating, and can obtain bond financing if necessary.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
CENTRAL CONTRA COSTA SANITARY DISTRICT
Notes to Financial Statements
Years Ended June 30, 2009 and 2008
1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Reporting Entity
The Central Contra Costa Sanitary District, a special district and a public entity established under the
Sanitary District Act of 1923, provides sewer service for the incorporated and unincorporated areas under
its jurisdiction. A Board of Directors comprised of five elected members governs the District.
As required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, these basic
financial statements present Central Contra Costa Sanitary District and its component unit. The
component unit discussed in the following paragraph is blended in the District's reporting entity because
of the significance of its operational or financial relationship with the District.
Blended Component Unit — Component units are legally separate organizations for which the District is
financially accountable. Component units may also include organizations that are fiscally dependent on
the District, in that the District approves their budget, the issuance of their debt or the levying of their
taxes. In addition, component units are other legally separate organizations for which the District is not
financially accountable but the nature and significance of the organization's relationship with the District
is such that exclusion would cause the District's financial statements to be misleading or incomplete. For
financial reporting purposes, the component unit discussed below is reported in the District's financial
statements because of the significance of its relationship with the District. The component unit, although
a legally separate entity, is reported in the financial statements using the blended presentation method as
if it were part of the District's operations because the Governing Board of the component unit is
essentially the same as of governing board of the District and because its purpose is to finance facilities
to be used for the direct benefit of the District. The Central Contra Costa Sanitary District Facilities
Financing Authority was organized solely for the purpose of providing financial assistance to the District
by acquiring, constructing, improving and financing various facilities, land and equipment purchases,
and by leasing or selling certain facilities, land and equipment for the use, benefit and enjoyment of the
public served by the District. The Corporation has no members and the Board of Directors of the
Corporation consists of the same persons who are serving as the Board of Directors of the District. There
are no separate basic financial statements prepared for the Corporation.
Basis of Accounting
The District's financial statements are prepared on the accrual basis in accordance with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America as promulgated by the Government
Accounting Standards Board (GASB). In addition, the District applies all applicable Financial
Accounting Standards Board (FASB) pronouncements issued on or before November 30, 1989, unless
those pronouncements conflict with or contradict GASB pronouncements.
The District is a proprietary entity; it uses an enterprise fund format to report its activities for financial
statement purposes. Enterprise funds are used to account for operations that are financed and operated in
a manner similar to private business enterprises, where the intent of the governing body is that the cost
and expenses, including depreciation, of providing goods or services to its customers be financed or
recovered primarily through user charges; or where the governing body has decided that periodic
determination of revenues earned, expense incurred, and net income is appropriate for capital
maintenance, public policy, management control, accountability, or other purposes.

' Notes to Financial Statements
Years Ended June 30, 2009 and 2008
' 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
' Enterprise funds are used to account for activities similar to those in the private sector, where the
proper matching of revenues and costs is important and the full accrual basis of accounting is
required. With this measurement focus, all assets and liabilities of the enterprise are recorded on its
' statement of net assets, all revenues are recognized when earned and all expenses, including
depreciation, are recognized when incurred.
' Enterprise funds distinguish operating revenues and expenses from non - operating items. Operating
revenues and expenses generally result from providing services and producing and delivering goods
in connection with an enterprise fund's principal ongoing operations. The principal operating
revenues of the District are charges to customers for services. Operating expenses for the District
include the costs of sales and services, administrative expenses, and depreciation on capital assets.
All revenues and expenses not meeting this definition are reported as non - operating revenues and
' expenses.
For internal operating purposes, the District's Board of Directors has established four separate sub-
funds, each of which includes a separate self - balancing set of accounts and a separate Board
approved budget for revenues and expenses. These sub -funds are combined into the single
enterprise fund presented in the accompanying financial statements. The nature and purpose of these
' sub -funds are as follows:
Running Expense
Running expense accounts for the general operations of the District. Substantially all operating
revenues and expenses are accounted for in this sub -fund.
Sewer Construction
Sewer construction accounts for non - operating revenues, which are to be used for acquisition or
construction of plant, property and equipment.
Selfinsurance
Self insurance accounts for interest earnings on cash balances in this sub -fund and cash
t allocations from other sub - funds, as well as for costs of insurance premiums and claims not
covered by the District's insurance coverage.
Debt Service
Debt service accounts for activity associated with the payment of the District's long term bonds
and loans.
' That portion of the District's net assets which is allocable to each of these sub -funds has been shown
separately in the accompanying financial statements.
' The District's Board of Directors adopts annual budgets on a basis consistent with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Investments
Investments held at June 30, 2009, with original maturities greater than one year, are stated at fair
value. Fair value is estimated based on quoted market prices at year -end. All investments not
required to be reported at fair value are stated at cost or amortized cost.
Prepaids
Certain payments to vendors reflect costs applicable to future accounting periods and are recorded as
prepaid items in the financial statements.
Bank Escrow Deposit
An escrow agreement was formed between the District and the National Park Service for the Right
of Way through the John Muir National Historic Site, in lieu of issuing a performance bond. The
current Right of Way Permit is 10 years, but is renewable and must remain in effect so long as there
is sewerage running through the area; therefore, it is. unlikely that the escrow funds will ever be
released to the District. These funds are restricted cash in the financial statements. See note 2.
Parts and Supplies
Parts and supplies are valued at average cost and are used primarily for internal purposes.
Property, Plant, and Equipment
Purchased capital assets are stated at historical cost. Capital assets contributed to the District are
stated at estimated fair value at the time of contribution. The capitalization threshold for capital
assets is $5,000. Expenditures, which materially increase the value or life of a capital assets are
capitalized and depreciated over the remaining useful life of the asset. The term depreciation
includes amortization of intangible assets.
Depreciation of exhaustible capital assets has been provided using the straight -line method as
follows:

' 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Defined Contribution Retirement Plans
District employees may defer a portion of their compensation under a District sponsored Deferred
Compensation Plan created in accordance with Internal Revenue Code Section 457. Under this Plan,
participants are not taxed on the deferred portion of their compensation until it is distributed to them;
distributions may be made only at termination, retirement, death, or in an emergency as defined by
the Plan. The District does not make contributions to the plan.
On August 20, 1997, the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code covering section 457 were
amended to require existing plans to establish trusts for assets of plans so that they would not be
subject to the right of general creditors. The District amended its plan during the fiscal year ended
June 30, 1999 to meet this requirement. Consequently, at June 30, 2009, the plan's assets are held in
trust for the exclusive benefit of the participants and are not included in the District's financial
statements.
The District also contributes to a money purchase plan created in accordance with Internal Revenue
Code section 401(a). Contributions to the plan are made in accordance with a memorandum of
understanding stating that in lieu of making payments to Social Security, the District contributes to
' the 401 (a) Plan an amount equal to that which would have been contributed to Social Security on
behalf of its employees as long as the District is not required to participate in Social Security. The
assets are held in trust and are not recorded on the books of the District. The District contributed
' $1,521,718 to the plan during the year ended June 30, 2009.
Property Taxes
Property tax revenue is recognized in the fiscal year for which the tax is levied. The County of
Contra Costa levies, bills and collects property taxes for the District; all material amounts are
' collected by June 30.
General County taxes collected are the same as the amount levied since the County participates in
California's alternative method of apportionment called the Teeter Plan. The Teeter Plan as
provided in Section 4701 at seq. of the State of Revenue and Taxation Code establishes a mechanism
for the county to advance the full amount of property tax and other levies to taxing agencies based
on the tax levy, rather than on the basis of actual tax collections. Although this system is a simpler
method to administer, the County assumes the risk of delinquencies. The County in return retains
the penalties and accrued interest thereon.
Secured Property tax bills are mailed once a year during the month of October on the current secured
tax roll, to the owner of the property as of the lien date (January 1). Payments can be made in two
installments, and are due on November 1 and February 1. Delinquent accounts are assessed a
penalty of 10 percent. Accounts, which remain unpaid on June 30, are charged an additional 1 %2
percent per month. Unsecured property tax is due on July 1 and becomes delinquent on August 31.
The penalty percentage rates are the same as secured property tax.

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Compensated Absences
The liability for vested vacation, compensatory time, and sick pay is recorded as an expense when
earned. District employees have a vested interest in 100 percent of accrued vacation time and 85
percent of accrued sick time for employees hired before May 1, 1985. Employees hired after May 1,
1985 have a vested interest in up to 40 percent of their sick time, based upon length of employment
with the District.
The accrued compensated absences increased to $6,123,647 from $6,102,851 or $20,796 in fiscal
2009. The current portion of the liability to be used within the next year is estimated by management
to be approximately $529,000. The change of $20,796 consists of increases of $529,043 and
decreases of $508,247.
Statement of Cash Flows
For purposes of the statement of cash flows, all highly liquid investments, including restricted assets,
with maturities of three months or less when purchased, are considered to be cash equivalents.
Included therein are petty cash, bank accounts, Cal Trust and the State of California Local Agency
Investment Fund (LAIF). Restricted assets are debt service amounts maintained by fiduciaries and
not available for general expenses.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect
the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the
date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
New Accounting Pronouncements
In April 2004, GASB issued GASB No. 43, Financial Reporting for Postemployment Benefit Plans
Other Than Pension Plans. This Statement provides guidance on how to report OPEB plans that
qualify as a trust or agency funds or as fiduciary component units of either a participating employer,
a plan sponsor, a public employee retirement system (CalPERS, or other administering entity). The
requirements for this statement are effective for fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2006
provided GASB 45 is also implemented. The District implemented this standard in conjunction with
GASB 45 in fiscal 2009.
In July 2004, GASB issued GASBS No. 45, Accounting and Financial Reporting by Employers for
Postemployment Benefits Other Than Pensions. This Statement requires local governmental
employers who provide other postemployment benefits (OPEB) as part of the total compensation
offered to employees to recognize the expense and related liabilities (assets) in the Financial
Statements. This Statement establishes standards for the measurement, recognition, and display of
OPEB expense /expenditures and related liabilities (assets), note disclosures, and, if applicable,
required supplementary information (RSI) in the financial reports of State and local governmental
employers.

i In November of 2006, GASB issued GASBS No. 49, Accounting and Financial Reporting Pollution
Remediation Obligations. The District is required to implement the provisions of this Statement for
the fiscal year ended June 30, 2009 (effective for periods beginning after December 15, 2007). This
' standard addresses current or potential detrimental effects of existing pollution by participating in
pollution remediation activities such as site assessments and cleanups. The scope of the document
excludes pollution prevention or control obligations with respect to current operations, and future
i pollution remediation activities that are required upon retirement of an asset, such as a landfill closure.
This statement was formally implemented in the current fiscal year.
i In June of 2007, GASB issued GASBS No. 51 Accounting and Financial Reporting for Intangible
Assets. The District is required to implement the provisions of this Statement for the fiscal year ended
June 30, 2010 (effective for periods beginning after June 15, 2009; for governments classified as phase
i 2 under GASBS No. 34, retroactive reporting is required for intangible assets acquired in fiscal years
ended after June 30, 1980). This Statement requires that all intangible assets not specifically excluded
by its scope provisions be classified as capital assets. Governments possess many different types of
i assets that may be considered intangible assets, including easements, water rights, patents, trademarks,
and computer software. Intangible assets, and more specifically easements, are referred to in the
description of capital assets in Statement No. 34, Basic Financial Statements — and Management's
i Discussion and Analysis —for State and Local Governments. This reference has created questions as
to whether and when intangible assets should be considered capital assets for financial reporting
i purposes. The District recorded intangible assets acquired in fiscal year ended June 30, 2009 and will
formally implement this Statement in fiscal year ending June 30, 2010. The implementation of the
provisions of this standard may have a material effect on the financial statements of the District.
iIn November of 2007, GASB issued GASBS No. 52 Land and Other Real Estate Held as Investments
by Endowments. The provisions of this Statement apply to entities' financial statements ended June
i 30, 2009 (effective for periods beginning after June 15, 2008). This Statement requires endowments to
report their land and other real estate investments at fair value and governments to report the changes
in fair value as investment income and to disclose the methods and significant assumptions
i employed to determine fair value, and other information that they currently present for other
investments reported at fair value. Endowments exist to invest resources for the purpose of
generating income. Other entities that exist for similar purposes— pension and other postemployment
i benefit plans, external investment pools, and Internal Revenue Code Section 457 deferred
compensation plans— however, report land and other real estate held as investments at their fair
value. This standard does not apply to the District.

New Accounting Pronouncements (continued)
In June of 2008, GASB issued GASBS No. 53, Accounting and Financial Reporting for Derivative
Instruments. This Statement requires governments to measure derivative instruments at fair value in
their economic resources measurement focus financial statements. Derivative instruments are often
complex financial arrangements used by governments to manage specific risks or to make
investments. By entering into these arrangements, governments receive and make payments based
on market prices without actually entering into the related financial or commodity transactions.
Derivative instruments associated with changing financial and commodity prices result in changing
cash flows and fair values that can be used as effective risk management or investment tools.
Derivative instruments, however, can also expose governments to significant risks and liabilities.
Common types of derivative instruments used by governments include interest rate and commodity
swaps, interest rate locks, options (caps, floors, and collars), forward contracts, and future contracts.
The District is required to implement the provisions of the Statement for the fiscal year ending June
30, 2010 (effective for periods beginning after June 15, 2009), which should allow users of the
financial statements to more fully understand the District's resources available to provide services.
The District does not currently hold such instruments which would be classified as derivatives other
than a minor amount held through the State Investment Pool and Cal Trust.
In March of 2009, GASB issued GASBS No. 54, Fund Balance Reporting and Governmental Fund
Type Definitions. This Statement will improve financial reporting by providing fund balance
categories and classifications that will be more easily understood. Elimination of the reserved
component of fund balance in favor of a restricted classification will enhance the consistency between
information reported in the government -wide statements and information in the governmental fund
financial statements and avoid confusion about the relationship between reserved fund balance and
restricted net assets. The fund balance classification approach in this Statement will require
governments to classify amounts consistently, regardless of the fund type or column in which they are
presented. As a result, an amount cannot be classified as restricted in one fund but unrestricted in
another. The fund balance disclosures will give users information necessary to understand the
processes under which constraints are imposed upon the use of resources and how those constraints
may be modified or eliminated. The clarifications of the governmental fund type definitions will
reduce uncertainty about which resources can or should be reported in the respective fund types. The
provisions of the Statement are effective for fiscal years beginning after June 30, 2010. Fund balance
reclassifications made to conform to the provisions of this Statement should be applied retroactively by
restating fund balance for all prior periods presented. The District is classified as an Enterprise Fund
and not a Governmental Fund Type. As such, this standard does not directly apply to the District.
In March of 2009, GASB issued GASBS No. 55, The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting
Principles for State and Local Governments. This Statement will improve financial reporting by
contributing to the GASB's efforts to codify all GAAP for state and local governments so that they
derive from a single source. This Statement will make it easier for preparers of state and local
government financial statements to identify and apply all relevant guidance. This Statement will not
result in a change in current practice or have a material effect on the financial statements of the
District.

Interest rate risk is the risk that changes in market interest rates will adversely affect the fair value of
an investment. Generally, the longer the maturity of an investment, the greater the sensitivity of its
fair value to changes in market interest rates. The District manages exposure to interest rate risk by
purchasing a combination of shorter term and longer term investments and by timing cash flows
from maturities so that a portion of the portfolio is maturing or coming close to maturity evenly over
time as necessary to provide the cash flow and liquidity needed for operations.
The District's investments at year end with the exception of the U.S Treasuries and Commercial
Paper below are held in external investment pools which are liquid investments.
Information about the sensitivity of the fair values of the District's investments to market interest

Investments in County Treasury — The District is considered to be a voluntary participant in an
external investment pool. The fair value of the District's investment in the pool is reported in the
' accounting financial statements at amounts based upon the District's pro -rata share of the fair value
provided by the County Treasurer for the entire portfolio (in relation to amortized cost of that
portfolio). The balance available for withdrawal is based on the accounting records maintained by
' the County Treasurer, which is recorded on the amortized cost basis.
Investment in the State Investment Pool — The District is a voluntary participant in the Local Agency
' Investment Fund (LAIF) that is regulated by California government code Section 16429 under the
oversight of the Treasurer of the State of California. The fair value of the District's investment in
the pool is reported in the accompanying financial statement at amounts based upon the District's
pro -rata share of the fair value provided by LAIF for the entire LAIF portfolio (in relation to the

Custodial Credit Risk — Investments
Custodial risk for investments is the risk that, in the event of the failure of the counterparty (e.g. the
broker - dealer) to a transaction, a government will not be able to recover the value of its investment
or collateral securities that are in the possession of another party. The California Government Code
does not contain legal or policy requirements that would limit the exposure to custodial credit risk.
The District's policy is to use the services of the Treasurer's Office of the County of Contra Costa,
which will transact the District's investment decisions in compliance with the requirements of the
District's policy. The County Treasurer's Office will execute the District's investments through
such broker - dealers and financial institutions as are approved by the County Treasurer, and through
the State Treasurer's Office for investment in the Local Agency Investment Fund.

5. ASSESSMENT DISTRICTS
The District established the Contractual Assessment District (CAD) program to help homeowners
finance the cost of connecting to the District. The construction costs associated with the project
within the program are capitalized and depreciated. Individual homeowners are assessed an amount
equal to their share of the construction costs and connection fee. The assessments plus interest are
generally payable over 10 years. At year -end, the receivable balance was $1,122,915.
The District also established the Alhambra Valley Assessment District (AVAD) to provide services
to residents in the Alhambra Valley in Martinez. Residents have the choice to pay cash or finance
the construction costs and connection fees. At year -end the receivable balance was $397,430.
6. LONG -TERM DEBT
Revenue Bonds — 2002
In May 2002, the District issued $16,565,000 of Revenue Installment Certificates for Wastewater
Facilities Improvements, with interest rates ranging from 4.0 to 5.0 %. The bonds are secured by a
pledge of revenue. Principal payments are due annually on September 1, commencing in fiscal year
2005, and interest is payable semi - annually on September 1 and March 1 of each year.
Refunding Revenue Bonds — 1998 & 1994 Defeased Debt
In September 1998, the District issued $25,335,000 of Refunding Revenue Bonds with interest rates
ranging from 3.5 and 4.7 %. The Bonds are secured by a pledge of revenue. Principal payments are
due annually on September 1, and interest is payable semi - annually on September 1 and March 1.
The District issued the 1998 Refunding Revenue Bonds to advance refund the 1994 Revenue
Installment Certificates, which had interest rates of 5.25 to 6.25 %. The net proceeds were deposited
in an escrow fund to service and redeem the 1994 debt. As a result, the advance refunding met the
requirements of an in- substance debt defeasance, and the outstanding balance of the 1994 debt was
removed from the District's accounts. The 1994 issue no longer has an outstanding balance.
The excess of the amount required to be deposited into the escrow fund over the net carrying amount
of the 1994 debt resulted in a deferred loss. The deferred loss is reported as reduction of the new
debt and is being amortized over the 15 -year term of the new debt.

Within the District's boundaries, there exist several Improvement Districts, which were formed for
the sole purpose of financing sewer system improvements. The District has no oversight
responsibility for these Districts and is not liable for repayment of any bonds issued to finance
these local improvement districts. Contra Costa County acts as the agent for the property owners
in these districts in collecting assessments, forwarding collections to bondholders, and initiating
foreclosure procedures, if appropriate. The outstanding balance on these bonds was $80,000 at June
30, 2009.
7. RISK MANAGEMENT
The District is exposed to various risks of loss related to torts: theft of, damage to, and destruction of
assets; errors and omissions; injuries to employees; and natural disaster. The District joined with
other entities to form the California Sanitation Risk Management Authority ( CSRMA), a public
entity risk pool currently operating as a common risk management and insurance program for the
member entities. The purpose of CSRMA is to spread the adverse effects of losses among the
member entities and to purchase excess insurance as a group, thereby reducing its cost. Through
CSRMA, the District purchases property insurance and workers' compensation insurance.

Liabilitv for Uninsured Claims
The Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) requires state and local governments to
record their liability for uninsured claims in their financial statements.
The District's uninsured claims activity and exposure relates primarily to its general and automobile
liability program. The District records its estimated liability for uninsured claims in this area based
on the results of periodic actuarial evaluations. The actuarial evaluations are typically performed
every two years. For intervening years, the liability for uninsured claims is reviewed for adequacy
based on claims activity during the intervening period.

which the District became responsible for providing sewage treatment facilities and services to the
City. Under this agreement, the City pays a service charge for its share of operating, maintenance
and administrative costs and makes a contribution for its share of facilities capital costs expended.
Service charges and contributions to capital costs from the City totaled $8,755,857 and $5,485,858
respectively, for the year ended June 30, 2009.
9. PENSION PLAN
Plan Description
Substantially all District full -time employees are required to participate in the Contra Costa County
Employees' Retirement Association (CCCERA), a cost - sharing multiple- employer public employee
deferred benefit retirement plan (Plan), governed by the County Employee's Retirement Law of
1937, as amended. The latest available actuarial and financial information for the Plan is for the
year ended December 31, 2007. The Contra Costa Employees' Retirement Association issues a
publicly available financial report that includes financial statements and supplemental information of
the Plan. That report is available by writing to Contra Costa County Employees' Retirement
Association, 1355 Willow Way, Suite 221, Concord, CA 94520 -5728 or by calling (925) 521 -3960.
The Plan provides for retirement, disability, and death and survivor benefits. Annual cost of living

10. POST EMPLOYMENT HEALTH CARE BENEFITS
Plan Description
The District's defined benefit post employment healthcare plan, (DPHP), provides medical benefits
to eligible retired District employees and beneficiaries. DPHP is part of the Public Agency portion
of the Public Agency Retirement System (PARS), an agent multiple - employer plan administered by
PARS, which acts as a common investment and administrative agent for participating public
employees within the State of California. A menu of benefit provisions as well as other
requirements as established by the State statute with the Public Employees' Retirement Law. DPHP
selects optional benefit provisions from the benefit menu by contract with PARS and adopts those
benefits through District resolution. PARS issues a separate Comprehensive Annual Financial
Report. Copies of the PARS annual financial report may be obtained from PARS, P.O. Box 12919,
Newport Beach, CA 92658; by calling 1(800) 540 -6469; or by emailing info @pars.org.
Funding Policy
The District is required to contribute the annual required contribution (ARC) of the employer, an
amount actuarially determined in accordance with the parameters of GASB Statement 45. The ARC
represents a level of funding that, if paid on an ongoing basis, is projected to cover normal annual
costs each year and amortize any unfunded actuarial liabilities (or funding excess) over a period not
to exceed 30 years. Trust amounts funded above or below the ARC are recorded on the books as an
OPEB asset or liability /obligation, respectively.
Because of the volatility of the economy, the District opted to make monthly installments into the
OPEB Trust to take advantage of dollar- cost - averaging. On November 6, 2008, the Board approved
payments into the Trust of $560,000 per month for 20 months.
Annual OPEB Cost
For 2009, the District's annual OPEB cost (expense) was $4,612,856, which is comprised of
$2,372,856 in medical premiums to retirees (an implied subsidy) as well as $2,240,000 in actual
contributions to the PARS Trust, which is less than the ARC of $6,224,478 by $1,611,622. The
District's annual OPEB cost, the percentage of annual OPEB cost contributed to the plan, and the
OPEB obligation for 2009 and the preceding year are presented below:
Annual
Fiscal Year OPEB Cost
Percentage of
OPEB Cost Contributed
Net OPEB
Obligation
6/30/09 $ 4,612,856 74% $ 1,611,622
Two actuarial studies have been performed by the District. The first study was as of June 30, 2005
and the last was as of June 30, 2007. Based on these studies, the Board set aside funds in a liability
account for the three years, 2009, 2008 and 2007, while investigating Trust options. The amount in
excess of the net OPEB obligation ($4,966,336) was a one -time transitional liability reclassified to
current liabilities for payment to the OPEB Trust.

' Funding Status and Funding Progress
The funded status of the plan as of July 1, 2007 (most recent actuarial evaluation) was as follows:
Actuarial Accrued Liability (AAL) $ 68,447,956
' Actuarial Value of Plan Assets (2,341,251)
Unfunded Actuarial Accrued Liability (UAAL) $ 66.106.705
Funded Ratio (Actuarial Value of Plan Assets /AAL) 3.4%
Covered Payroll (Active Plan Members) $ 22.648.230
UAAL as a Percentage of Covered Payroll 292%
' Actuarial valuations of an ongoing plan involve estimates of the value of reported amounts and
assumptions about the probability of occurrence of events far into the future. Examples include
assumptions about future employment, mortality, and the healthcare cost trend. The funded status of
the plan and the annual required contributions of the employer are subject to continual revision, as
actual results are compared with past expectations and new estimates are made about the future. The
schedule of funding progress, presented as required supplementary information, presents multiyear
trend information that shows whether the actuarial value of the plan assets is increasing or
decreasing over time, relative to the actuarial liabilities for benefits.
Actuarial Methods and Assumptions
Projections for benefits for financial reporting purposes are based on the substantive plan (the plan
as understood by the employer and plan members) and include the types of benefits provided at the
time of each valuation as well as the historical pattern of sharing benefit costs between the employer
' and plan members. The actuarial methods and assumptions used include techniques that are
designed to reduce short-tern volatility in actuarial accrued liabilities and actuarial value of assets,
consistent with the long -tern perspective of the calculations. The next actuarial valuation will be
performed in October 2009.
