Chair McGill called the meeting to order at 3:00 p.m.
2. Public Comments
None.
*3. Review and provide comments on Draft 2011 -2012 Capital Improvement Budget
and Ten -Year Plan (CIB /CIP)
Director of Engineering Ann Farrell presented a slideshow reviewing the draft
2011 -2012 CIB /CIP (attached). She stated that the total Fiscal Year 2011 -2012
expenditure recommendations total $25,914, 000 and noted that $3 million in
expenditures for anticipated planning and design work to comply with Section
129 incinerator regulations has been removed from the Treatment Plant
Program. Ms. Farrell reviewed the budgeted revenue for 2011 -2012 and stated
that the estimated RUE of 800 may be optimistic, given the current construction

and economic climate, which would result in less Sewer Construction Revenues
than the estimated $22,246, 000. Ms. Farrell noted that the Board action required
in June will be to authorize $29,797,000 to fund the Treatment Plant, Collection
System, General Improvements and Recycled Water Programs.
COMMITTEE ACTION: Reviewed the CIB /CIP.
4. Review and provide comments on Draft 2011 -2012 Information Technology
Development Plan (included in General Improvements Section of CIB /CIP)
Information Technology Administrator Mark Greenawalt presented a summary of
the Draft 2011 -2012 Information Technology Development Plan (attached). The
proposed budget for new projects is about $602, 000, which, when coupled with
the carryover allocations for outstanding projects, equals $1,279, 000 in total
estimated expenditures.
Director of Administration Randy Musgraves noted that the proposed Sungard
Public Sector (HTE) One Solution software implementation, estimated at
$100,000, is a significant upgrade. He stated that the Administration Department
plans to perform a thorough analysis of the software, which debuted six months
ago, including sending District staff to a One Solution conference in May to test
the program and develop contacts with other agencies.
Member Hockett questioned if there was a way for field workers to communicate
with District offices beyond a phone call, and if there would be a way to track this
communication. General Manager Jim Kelly stated that staff would look into the
possibility.
COMMITTEE ACTION: Reviewed the Draft 2011 -2012 Information
Technology Development Plan.
*5. Provide comments on suggested format for Executive Summary of the Capital
Improvement Budget and Ten -Year Plan
Ms. Farrell reviewed the draft Executive Summary (attached), adding that staff
will continue to edit the document before distributing it to the full Board at the
CIB /CIP Workshop on April 14, 2011. She noted that a discussion of the
proposed rate increase as well as the sewer service charge comparison table
has been added to the basic format used last year. She also invited the
Committee to submit any comments they would like incorporated before
submission to the full Board by Monday, April 11, 2011.
COMMITTEE ACTION: Provided initial comments.

*6. Discuss key projects for 2011 -12 Capital Improvement Program. This item for
information only.
Staff presented a slideshow outlining the key projects (attached).
• Use of Greenhouse Gas Model of District Operations for Decision Making
Assistant Engineer Melody LaBella stated that staff has developed a model
which incorporates energy consumption and green house gas generation and
can be used to compare different treatment scenarios. Staff will be adding a
capital and operating cost component to the model and will be using it to
compare three possible solids handling approaches. These approaches
include continuing with multiple hearth incinerators, converting to fluidized
bed incinerators or converting to anaerobic digestion. Ms. Farrell noted that
even though the change to Section 129 of the Clean Air Act will not require a
significant new investment in the multiple hearth incinerators, there are still
significant expenditures that will be required in the next ten years in these
facilities. Therefore, staff believes the work on comparing solids handling
alternatives should be completed and consensus reached on the District's
future approach to solids handling.
• Long Range Planning to Consider Next Generation Wastewater Treatment
Environmental Services Division Manager Curt Swanson stated that staff is
proposing an innovative approach to treatment plant planning to look twenty -
five to fifty years in the future to see conceptually if the District should be
making a significant investment in upgrading /renovating current facilities or
considering new treatment approaches. He noted that trends in the industry
are toward anaerobic and fixed film treatment and generally toward an
energy neutral or even energy positive process. He stated that the District is
planning to hold a planning competition providing a participation honorarium
to prequalified consultants who submit a concept for the District's next
generation treatment facility. Staff will then evaluate the concepts and
consider if they should be incorporated into the District's long -term plan for
the treatment plant.
COMMITTEE ACTION: Discussed the projects.
Member Hockett left the meeting at 4:10 p.m., after which Chair McGill adjourned
the meeting and received the reports on the remaining projects below:

Central Contra Costa Sanitary District
FY 2011 -12 Capital Improvement Program
Executive Summary
Central Contra Costa Sanitary District funds an extensive Capital Improvement Program
designed to preserve, maintain, and enhance the District's assets, accommodate the
community's needs, and protect the environment. Capital improvements are
construction, acquisition or renovation activities which add value to the District's fixed
assets (buildings, pipelines, facilities, equipment) or significantly increase their useful
life.
The District's FY 2011 -12 Capital Improvement Budget (CIB) details expenditures of
approximately $25.9 million for the planning, design and construction of treatment plant,
collection system, general improvements, and recycled water projects. By adopting the
CIB, the Board of Directors authorizes staff to pursue this work.
In addition to the CIB for the upcoming year, the Board approves a Ten -Year Capital
Improvement Plan (CIP) that forecasts needed expenditures. The CIP focuses on
facility renovation, expansion and future regulatory compliance projects. It estimates
expenditures for the next ten years at $345 million (in 2011 dollars), an average of
$34.5 million per year. The CIB and CIP also include projected revenues and cash flow
discussions to demonstrate how planned expenditures could be funded.
Each planned project addresses one or more District goals:
• Protect public health and the environment
• Maintain existing assets
• Respond to regulatory and community concerns
• Accommodate planned growth
This year we are faced with some challenges and opportunities. Our revenue stream
for the next several years is projected to be significantly reduced due to the downturn in
the U.S. economy. This downturn has also created an opportunity by substantially
reducing the number of projects under construction in the marketplace, resulting in a
very competitive bid climate. The low bids on some recent District projects have been
as much as 30% less than the pre -bid estimate.
The recommended budget projects that expenditures will exceed revenue, but will
maintain an appropriate Sewer Construction Fund balance.
This summary describes the major projects for FY 2011 -12, the major projects included
in the Ten -Year Capital Improvement Plan, and the revenue streams that will support
the planned expenditures.
FY 2011 -12
Capital Improvement Budget
The FY 2011 -12 CIB includes expenditures of approximately $25.6 M for planning,
design and construction of capital projects in four programs:
• Treatment Plant
• Collection System
• General Improvements
• Recycled Water
Each of the programs is divided into subprograms to track different types of work.
Most of the money will be spent on renovation or preservation of capital assets, as
shown in the following table:

Major Project Emphasis
Although the CIB is made up of funding estimates for many individual projects, each
year there are several major projects which together account for a majority of total
estimated capital expenditures. In FY 2011 -12, the emphasis will be on 15 large
projects, which together account for $16,777,000, or 65 percent of the total estimated
expenditures. Estimated FY 2011 -12 expenditures for each of these projects are noted
below.

This project will replace existing dry weather pumps to provide the capacity needed to
handle increased flow from the Dougherty Valley. Additional improvements identified by
pumping station operators may be added to the project.
Seismic Improvements for HOB
FY 2011 -12: $510,000
Estimated total project cost: $2,523,000
Structural steel frames constructed before the most recent Northridge earthquake may
weaken during an earthquake and be unable to resist the forces generated during a
seismic event. These steel framing problems in combination with the building's
flexibility are the primary reasons for the HOB's seismic vulnerability. The HOB will be
retrofitted or replaced to ensure a life- safety level of structural performance.
Historical Capital Improvement Program
To place this year's proposed CIB and CIP in perspective, it is helpful to review
historical expenditures and revenues. As shown in the expenditure graphs, annual
capital expenditures in inflation- adjusted dollars have decreased over the years to
approximately $30 million per year from a high of $60 million in 1993 -94. This rate of
spending represents a replacement of all assets about once every hundred years,
based on an estimated replacement value of approximately $3 billion for the treatment
plant, collection system, and pumping station facilities.

Historically, the District has attempted to keep expenditures close to revenues so as to
avoid reducing the Sewer Construction Fund balance below $30 - $35 million. This
allows the Fund to act as the bank to meet the District's cash flow needs between its
biannual receipt of Sewer Service Charge and property tax revenue collected by Contra
Costa County. As noted in the below figure on property tax and capacity fee revenue
trends, capital revenues can be highly variable.
The District has two discretionary sources of capital revenue, the Sewer Service Charge
capital component and bond sales. In 2009 -10, the District chose to augment the
Sewer Construction Fun balance with $30 million in bond proceeds in order to ease the
pressure on Sewer Service Charge rates and allow the capital program to move forward
with needed projects. This decision was deemed prudent because the competitive
construction bidding climate occasioned by the current recession has resulted in
construction costs being reduced by 20 -30 %, providing significant savings for the
program. The District will continue to balance capital expenditures and revenues to
ensure that appropriate investments are made in capital facilities while maintaining an
adequate Sewer Construction Fund balance to meet cash flow needs.

Ten -Year Capital Improvement Plan
The District updates its Ten -Year Capital Improvement Plan each year to guide long -
range policy and to:
• Identify, prioritize, and schedule capital projects for the ten -year period.
• Provide financial resources for completing those capital projects.
The plan covers FY 2011 -12 through FY 2020 -21 and projects total expenditures of
approximately $345 million (in 2011 dollars), or an average of $34.5 million per year, as
described in the following table:

The Bay Area is seismically active.
District facilities have been
evaluated and $12.7 million is
currently budgeted for retrofitting
various buildings over the next
several years.

Future Regulatory Projects: The next ten years hold the potential for significant
regulatory changes. These include potential requirements for nitrification (convert
ammonia to NOs), increasing pollutant removal from incinerator air emissions, and
reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Funding for unspecified regulatory projects has
been included in the ten -year plan to represent this potential need. Nitrification would
require an expansion of the aeration tanks. Effects of greenhouse gas reduction
requirements are still being studied and could require significant investment. Changes
to air emission and solid waste regulations may affect the furnaces and the impacts of
these regulatory changes range from additional emissions equipment to total
replacement of the furnaces. (Ten -year Plan: $81,305,000)
Piping Renovation and Replacement Program: The replacement value of treatment
plant facilities is conservatively estimated at $600 million. Piping systems are an
important and critical component of the treatment plant infrastructure. These systems
will continue to be evaluated and prioritized for repair or replacement. (Ten -year Plan:
$12,410,000)
Major Ten -Year Collection System Projects /Programs
Sewer Renovation Program: In 2002, the District initiated a long -term program to
televise all 1,447 miles of its gravity sewers. To date, the program has televised
approximately 1,100 miles of sewers. Taking into account sewer mains renovated since
the start of the TV program, approximately 57 miles of sewer mains (6 -, 8 -, and 10 -inch
pipe) need to be renovated at a cost of $86 million. The current ten -year plan targets
renovating all 57 miles of sewer mains. (Ten -year plan: $120,120,000 estimated total
project cost — includes TV programs, large- diameter pipe renovation, and cathodic
protection.)
Sewer Capacity Program: The Collection System Master Plan was updated in 2010 to
reflect recently approved land use and new flow- monitoring data. The Capital Plan has
been updated to reflect the new results. Sewer capacity projects will include trunk
sewers on Pleasant Hill Road in Lafayette, Lancaster Road in Walnut Creek, Moraga
Way in Orinda, and the San Ramon Schedule C Interceptor. (Ten -year plan:
$34,631,000 estimated total project cost)
TV inspection of the collection system helps to
guide sewer renovation plans.
Potential Future Projects
Not Included in 2011 Capital Plan
The projects listed in this CIP are those that are reasonably certain to be undertaken by
the District. However, when evaluating project priority and cash flow impacts,
consideration must be given to potential projects that are uncertain and not currently
included in the plan. If some or all of these potential projects listed below are required
to be undertaken, there could be a significant impact on the financial forecasts

Capital Revenue /Cash Flow/
Sewer Construction Fund Balance
CAPITAL REVENUE
The Capital Program is funded by a number of different fees and charges as described below.
Capacity Fees: A capacity fee is paid by each new connector to the District's collection
system. This fee is recalculated each year and represents the cost of buying into the existing
assets of the District. The revenue from these fees is dependent on the housing market and
rate of new connections.
Pumped Zone Fees: For connections in an area where pumping is necessary, an additional
capacity fee is charged to buy into the existing pumping station assets of the District. The
revenue from the pumped zone fees is highly dependent on the housing market and the rate of
new connections in the pumped zones.
Property Taxes: Historically, the District has received significant revenues from property taxes.
In 1978, when Proposition 13 reduced the taxation rate on property, the State Legislature urged
enterprise special districts to shift to user fee financing. In FY 1992 -93, the State of California
began diverting portions of the property tax revenue. The District still receives a significant
amount of property taxes which are allocated entirely to debt service and the Capital Program.
If those taxes were to be permanently diverted, a significant increase in other forms of revenue,
particularly the Sewer Service Charge, would be necessary.
Sewer Service Charges: The Sewer Service Charge is an annual charge placed on the
property tax rolls which funds operation and maintenance costs as well as a portion of the
Capital Program. Each year the capital revenue from all other sources is estimated, and the
additional revenue needed to fund the planned expenditures, after consideration of any increase
or decrease to the Sewer Construction Fund Balance, is generated by adjusting the capital
component of the Sewer Service Charge.
Reimbursements from Others: The District receives reimbursements from others for capital
expenditures which benefit others. For example, the City of Concord is served by a contract
which requires them to pay a flow - proportional share of capital projects which benefit Concord
(such as projects to improve wastewater treatment facilities and large interceptors.) Also, the
District has formed Assessment Districts to promote the installation of sewers in unsewered
areas and loaned money from the Sewer Construction Fund for construction of the sewers.
This money is then repaid with interest to the Fund.
Interest: Interest is earned on the balance of the Sewer Construction Fund, the money held in
reserve to fund future capital projects. The interest earned is returned to the fund.
Bond Proceeds: While the District generally follows a pay -as- you -go philosophy, Sewer
Service Charge rate increases can be mitigated by utilizing bond funding to spread the
payments over time.
The total budgeted revenue for FY2011 -12 is $22,246,000, assuming a $30 Sewer Service
Charge rate increase, which has not been adopted by the Board.

One of the District's goals is to maintain responsible rates while investing in the capital
programs needed to protect public health and the environment, maintain existing assets,
respond to regulatory and community concerns, and accommodate planned growth. The
District has always prided itself on providing a high level of service at reasonable rates. When
the severity of the economic downturn became apparent, the District Board of Directors, after
thoughtful debate, elected not to raise rates for two years in order to provide some financial
relief to customers. Staff responded to the Board's actions by implementing cost - saving
measures which resulted in a savings in operating and maintenance costs of over $2 million in
2009 -10 and $2.5 million in 2010 -11. Because the economic downturn resulted insignificant bid
savings on capital projects, staff recommended, and the Board agreed, that the Capital Program
should continue and needed projects should be built. In order to fund these projects without
raising rates for two years, $30 million in bonds were sold. This increased the District's bonded
indebtedness to over $50 million and the annual debt service obligation to $5.6 million.
FY 2010 -11 has been challenging for the District. Increased expenditures for regulatory
mandates and reduced revenues due to the economic downturn result in the need for a
significant sewer service charge (SSC) rate increase if the District is to continue providing the
same level of service and investing in infrastructure. Staff is recommending a two -year SSC
increase of $30 per year.
The following chart compares the District's rates to 26 other Bay Area sanitary agencies. If the
two -year increase is adopted, the District's rates will still be well below the mean rate for these
agencies.

CASH FLOW /SEWER CONSTRUCTION FUND BALANCE
As part of the Ten -Year Capital Improvement Plan, estimates of expenditures and revenues are
made and a cash flow projection is developed to show the interrelationship of revenues and the
Sewer Construction fund (SCF) balance.
Each year a policy decision is made by the Board of Directors, based on staff analysis and
recommendations, on the amount of the capital component of the Sewer Service Charge to fund
the planned Capital Program while maintaining an adequate SCF balance. The SCF balance is
needed for future capital projects. It also acts as the bank to meet the District's cash flow
needs. To provide sufficient funds for cash flow needs, a balance of approximately $30 million
is recommended for the SCF.
This year, a drawdown of the SCF of $6 million to $9 million is budgeted. This can be supported
because the drawdown will fund construction of specific projects for which $30 million in bonds
were issued in 2009 and placed in the SCF.

New Zealand Earthquake
• Christchurch, NZ: M6.3 occurred on 2/21/11.
• Was an aftershock from the M7.0 Danfield event on
September 2010.
• Severe damage and loss of life.
• Christchurch occurred on separate fault from Danfield.
• Accelerations greater than Danfield, depth was relatively
shallow, and located very close to densely populated area.
• Seismic codes have evolved and appear similar to the
2007 CBC.
• Nearly 3 weeks after the event, sewer and other buried
utilities remained severely compromised. Liquefaction was
the major factor affecting buried pipes.
Sendai, Japan Earthquake
• M9.0 on March 11, 2011.
• 4"' largest event in world since 1900.
• Largest in Japan since records kept (130 years).
• Just 2 days earlier a 7.2 event occurred.
• Aftershocks are a significant risk to structures:
- In the past week (3/20 - 3/25)
- 46 earthquakes between 5.0 - 5.9
- 7 earthquakes between 6.0 - 6.9
• Island of Honshu moved 8 feet eastward.
• North American plate was moved 66 feet
eastward.

Design Criteria
• Retrofit Options
- Exterior Buttresses
- Shear Walls
• Design Level: Life Safety Plus which is
recommended by California Building Code
for new wastewater treatment facilities.
• Incinerators will be analyzed to strengthen
their expected response to an earthquake.
Why Do This Now?
• Issues with 129 Regulations are resolved
• Potentially large dollar cost for seismic
retrofit of SBC - $5.5 million
• Need accurate costs to help make decisions
with respect to future solids handling
options and investments in current facilities
