7. REPORTS
GENERAL MANAGER
1) End of Legislature Regarding Retirement and City of Bell Bills '
General Manager James Kelly stated that the status of Senate Bill 1425 and
Assembly Bill (A.B.) 1987 has changed since his memorandum dated August 27,
2010, which was included in the Board agenda packet. Both bills passed on
August 31, 2010, and now await the Governor's signature. Should they be
signed by the Governor, both bills would go into effect on January 1, 2011. The
anti - spiking portion of the bills would go into effect on July 1, 2011. The "double
dipping" portion of the bills that would ban retired public employees from working
for the same or other public agency for 180 days after retirement would go into
effect on January 1, 2012.
A memorandum on the Bell issue was also included in the Board packet. A.B.
827 passed, prohibiting the automatic renewal of raises exceeding the cost of
living, and prohibiting severance agreements of longer than a year. A.B. 194
also passed, setting a cap on retirement benefits for public employees. The
other four bills were all referred back to the Rules Committee. These four bills
can still be voted on if a special session is called by the Governor.
2) Contra Costa County Employees' Retirement Association (CCCERA)
Update
This report was reviewed by Budget and Finance Committee.
Book 6 — Page 126
Board Minutes of September 2, 2010
' General Manager James Kelly referred to the memorandum included in the
Board agenda packet, which attached two memoranda from the CCCERA Chief
Executive Officer Marilyn Leedom regarding the September 8, 2010 CCCERA
Board Meeting and concerning retirement workshops.
Member Hockett stated that the Budget and Finance Committee did not have any
training recommendations for the retirement workshops.
President McGill stated that he attended the CCCERA meeting where they
discussed training and expressed frustration that data requested by the Board
from CCCERA has still not been provided.
3) General Manager James Kelly announced that Board Member Hockett
was elected the new President of the California Association of Sanitation
Agencies for the next year (August 2010 through August 2011) and
congratulated her on her appointment,
4) General Manager James Kelly announced that a community meeting to
discuss District Annexation 175 — Orinda and Lafayette was held in Orinda
on Wednesday, August 25, 2010. Meeting notices were sent to owners of
the 107 affected properties, as well as surrounding properties within 300
feet. This proposed annexation includes the El Toyonal hillside
neighborhood. Four people (representing three of the affected properties)
attended the meeting. No objections to the proposed annexation or its
Draft Negative Declaration were raised.
5) General Manager James Kelly announced that, in addition to the Acting
Director of Plant Operations Curt Swanson, Associate Engineer Don
Berger will be attending the WateReuse Association's Annual Conference
in Washington D.C. from September 12 through 15, 2010.
Attendance at this conference was budgeted in the 2010 -2011 Technical
Conferences Budget. While they are in Washington, D.C., they will meet
with federal legislative and agency staff regarding the District's request for
funding for District recycled water projects.
6) General Manager James Kelly announced that, on August 24, 2010, the
District purchased the final third of the Treatment Plant natural gas for
January through December 2012 at Pacific Gas and Electric Citygate price
of $5.40 per decatherm (dth). Natural gas prices have continued to
remain depressed as the economy struggles to recover, and gas demand
for summer peak electrical demand never materialized. This purchase
results in the average cost of $5.69 for 2012 and is lower than pre-
' purchased gas for both 2010 and 2011. Future natural gas purchases will
require additional Board authorization.
Book 6 — Page 127
Board Minutes of September 2, 2010
7) General Manager James Kelly announced that the District adopted Local '
Discharge Limits in 2007 that established tiered limits for four pollutant
parameters: copper, lead, mercury and cyanide. The tiers were set for
discharges of process wastewater from unpermitted and permitted
businesses. This strategy allowed higher limits to be established for the
permitted businesses for these particular parameters. Rather than issuing
individualized permits to each business, the District's Source Control
Section developed Best Management Practice (BMP) Permits as a means
of permitting larger groups of businesses that discharge elevated
concentrations of the four parameters with tiered limits. Businesses that
implemented the established BMPs are presumed to comply with the
applicable limits. The dental amalgam permit was the first BMP Permit
program implemented and has successfully lowered the influent and
effluent mercury.
Starting in 2009, Source Control started implementing the new tiered limits
by mailing BMP Permit applications to businesses conducting activities
that could result in elevated levels of copper and lead in their process
wastewater discharge (e.g. vehicle service, vehicle /equipment washing,
machine shops). Applications were sent to more than 750 businesses
with 698 being returned, which resulted in 258 BMP Permits being issued
to date. 52 businesses have been non - responsive despite repeated '
attempts to prompt these businesses to submit a completed application.
Source Control recently sent Warning Notices notifying them that they did
not submit a completed BMP Permit application and setting a new
deadline for them to complete and return this document. Staff is hoping to
obtain the cooperation of these remaining businesses by using the
Warning Notice strategy.
8) General Manager James Kelly announced that staff has prepared a draft
response to the recent Grand Jury inquiry regarding Board compensation
and benefits. This draft has been provided to the Board. Any comments
or suggestions from Board Members will be reviewed and a final copy
distributed once the response has been sent.
9) General Manager James Kelly announced that, although legislative action
on the Prop 18 Water Bond has been postponed until November 2012,
President McGill has sent letters to each of the County Supervisors, State
Senator DeSaulnier, and Assembly Members Buchanan, Skinner, and
Torlakson. In his letters, President McGill notes the reasons for the
District Board opposition to the measure, along with a request to review
the proposition before it finally comes before the public in two years.
10) General Manager James Kelly announced that recently, the District '
received notice from the State Controller's office that a request for
Book 6 — Page 128
Board Minutes of September 2, 2010
employee salary information be sent to cities and counties in the near
' future. Staff contacted the Controller's office to obtain more details about
the forthcoming request. They had no details to provide and indicated that
instructions would probably be issued to government agencies in October.
At the time staff contacted the Controller's Office, they did not know if
special districts would be included in the first round of reporting. In the
future, this additional employee salary information is expected to become
part of the Annual Financial Report that public agencies send to the
Controller's Office each October. Staff will provide the Board with
additional details as they become available.
11) General Manager James Kelly announced that Director of Engineering
Ann Farrell will be attending the International Water Association Congress
and Exhibition in Montreal, Canada from September 19 through
September 24, 2010. Ms. Farrell has requested $1,250 of her
Management Education Funds to pay for registration. The session will
feature presenters from all over the world speaking on the latest
international research on emerging contaminants, microbial fuels cells and
wastewater treatment and energy production synergies.
12) General Manager James Kelly announced that staff has reached an
impasse with two residential property owners located at 43 and 47 Camino
Encinas in Orinda. During the August 5, 2010 Board Meeting, while
discussing other engineering and construction issues regarding the Hall
Drive Sewer Renovations Project, Phase 2B (DP 5932), staff advised the
Board that two property owners were unwilling to grant additional land
rights necessary to replace the existing public sewer on their properties.
Since these easements were not acquired, the "Camino Encinas" sewer
segment was dropped from this year's current construction contract in
Orinda. District engineers re- evaluated the sewer renovation for design
alternatives and after careful analysis determined the proposed design
was the optimal design solution for the neighborhood.
In order to construct next season, staff, in consultation with District
Counsel, needs to now initiate the process of involuntary easement
acquisition. While adhering to state mandates regarding actions for future
eminent domain proceedings, staff is reinitiating contact with these
property owners. In the event the owners will not grant the land rights to
the District, staff anticipates coming back to the Board in early 2011 to
request adoption of the Resolutions of Necessity.
b. COUNSEL FOR THE DISTRICT
District Counsel Kent Alm stated that he was asked a question at the last Board meeting
' regarding the legality of conducting labor negotiations in public. He stated that there is
no law that says negotiations have to be conducted in a certain way or be confidential.
Book 6 — Page 129
Board Minutes of September 2, 2010
However, he stated that conducting negotiations in public would present practical '
difficulties, and bargaining in private is almost universal. Also, Section 54963 of the
Brown Act applies in certain circumstances and prohibits anyone from disclosing
information received in Closed Session.
C. SECRETARY OF THE DISTRICT
No reports.

8. ENGINEERING
a. AUTHORIZE THE GENERAL MANAGER TO EXECUTE THE FOLLOWING
AGREEMENTS RELATED TO THE SEISMIC IMPROVEMENTS
1) A professional engineering services agreement not to exceed $60,000 with
Complete Project Solutions, Inc. for preliminary design of the Seismic Upgrades
for the Pump and Blower Building, District Project 7291.
2) A professional engineering services agreement not to exceed $115,000 with
KPFF Consulting Engineers, Inc. for preliminary design of the Seismic
Improvements for the Headquarters Office Building, District Project 8226.
This matter was reviewed and recommended for approval by the Capital Projects
Committee.
General Manager James Kelly stated that preliminary analysis indicates that some
District facilities require seismic strengthening. Construction work is complete for the
Household Hazardous Waste Collection Facility (HHWCF) and Standby Power Facility,
and is underway for the Collection System Operations Department (CSOD) new
building. Staff recommended proceeding with the pre- design of the Headquarters Office
Building (HOB) and Pump and Blower Building (PBB) seismic strengthening to
determine the alternatives and associated costs.
Senior Engineer Ba Than stated that the seismic study has identified deficiencies in
critical District facilities and noted their proximity of the Concord earthquake fault. He
stated that staff is recommending the predesign of improvements to the HOB and PBB,
and is recommending deferral of improvements to the Plant Operations Building and
Solids Conditioning Building. Staff will work with the Real Estate Committee regarding
the warehouse building at 4737 Imhoff.
He described the deficiencies in the HOB and PBB and stated that staff is
recommending approval of authorizations to perform seismic pre- design for both
buildings. Staff will return to the Board with findings and recommend the next steps.
It was moved by Member Menesini and seconded by Member Hockett to authorize the
General Manager to execute the agreements as recommended. Motion passed by
unanimous vote of the Board.

Book 6 — Page 131
Board Minutes of September 2, 2010
MODERN DRAPERY FOR THE WINDOW COVERINGS, AS REQUESTED BY
BOBO CONSTRUCTION, INC. I
General Manager James Kelly stated that the CSOD Administration, Crew and
Warehouse Facility project has been under construction for approximately six months.
The project is complex and challenging with multiple sub - contractors working
concurrently.
Member Lucey noted that, in his opinion, there appears to be little progress being made
on the construction project.
Senior Engineer Alex Rozul updated the Board on the project's level of construction and
the latest request for subcontractor substitution. He stated that the target completion
date is July 2011 and showed photographs of the construction site and improvements.
He stated that the project is currently one to one - and -a -half months behind schedule,
primarily due to the weather. All undergrounding for sewer and water lines has been
completed. Preparation of the site itself required much grading and compaction.
Member Lucey asked how much of the delay is caused by the concrete subcontractor
failing to perform. Mr. Rozul responded that the delays so far have been caused by rain
and other changes, not because of the failure of the concrete subcontractor.
General Manager James Kelly stated that staff will provide an updated schedule at the I
next Board meeting.
Member Nejedly asked how many days' delay have been due to rain. Mr. Rozul
responded 23 days altogether. Member Nejedly asked if the project is now three weeks
behind and Mr. Rozul responded yes, that is staffs opinion.
President McGill asked if the 23 -day delay included change orders and Mr. Rozul
responded that they do not include change orders. He confirmed that the 23 days are
calendar days.
Director of Engineering Ann Farrell noted that the District has contracted with
Swinnerton and Walberg to assist with analyses of the contractor's schedule. Staff is
concerned about the schedule, and Swinnerton and Walberg are analyzing the July and
August schedules to determine what has caused the additional delays. Staff will
carefully document schedule issues to protect the interests of the District. The
Swinnerton and Walberg contract amount may need to be increased if the situation
becomes more complex.
Member Nejedly expressed frustration with the increasing delays and failure of
subcontractors to perform. He predicted that the project will cost more than originally
anticipated, noting that winter is rapidly approaching. I
Book 6 — Page 132
Board Minutes of.September2, 2010
With regard to the subcontractor substitution, Mr. Rozul stated that the contractor had
listed twenty -five subcontractors in his bid and two have already been substituted.
Currently, the Board is being asked to authorize the substitution of the subcontractor for
window coverings. Staff will return to the Board with information about the possible
substitution of the concrete subcontractor at the September 16, 2010 Board meeting.
It was moved by Member Lucey and seconded by Member Menesini to authorize the
substation of the listed subcontractor, Hampa Corporation, with a different
subcontractor, Modern Drapery, for the window covering work on the CSOD
Administration, Crew, and Warehouse Facility, District Project 8208. Motion passed by
unanimous vote of the Board.
9. BUDGET AND FINANCE

YEAR -END FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND INVESTMENT REPORTS
This matter was reviewed by the Budget and Finance Committee.
General Manager James Kelly introduced Controller Debbie Ratcliff to present the
adjusted June 30, 2010 financial results for the Operations and Maintenance Fund.
These are unaudited numbers and have the potential for audit adjustments. The final
audited numbers will be brought back to the Board in October
Ms. Ratcliff stated that revenues are less than expected for Period 13, resulting in a
deficit of $119,000. Expenses are $469,000 less than projected. Total revenue for
2009 -10 was $60,257,000, which is $1,411,000 less than budgeted. Total expenses for

General Manager James Kelly introduced Director of Engineering Ann Farrell to present
a summary of the Fiscal Year (FY) 2009 -2010 year -end financials for the capital
program, as well as a brief look ahead at projected revenue and expenditures for FY
2010 -2011 and the need for the revised authorization requested under Item 9.c. to fund
the planned FY 2010 -11 expenditures.
Ms. Farrell provided information on the Capital Improvement Budget Year -End Report.
She described capital fund impacts and showed slides summarizing major project
expenditure variances in the Treatment Plant Program, the Collection System Program,
the General Improvements Program and the Recycled Water Program.
Book 6 — Page 133
Board Minutes of September 2, 2010
Ms. Farrell presented information on savings from the Capital Improvement Budget
caused primarily by low bids and reductions in scope of work, for a total savings of
$10.5 million.

Director of Engineering Ann Farrell stated that staff is recommending increasing the
total authorization for Fiscal Year 2010 -2011 to $46,925,000 rather than the original
amount of $37,466,000 to account for more budget carryover than originally projected.
The planned expenditures will remain the same.
It was moved by Member Hockett and seconded by Member Menesini to approve the
revised 2010 -2011 Capital Improvement Budget funding authorization table (Table 1)
with actual rather than estimated authorized but unspent funds allocated to ongoing
