SUBJECT: UPDATE - ONLINE BOARD PORTAL/BINDER PROJECT
Summary:
The District is interested in exploring a paperless agenda management process and a
secure online Board binder /portal system. Some of the benefits of a Board portal/binder
are as follows:
• Reduce costs and increase efficiency in preparing, updating, distributing and
management of Board materials
• Faster access to information by Board members and management
• The most current Board materials are accessible by any Board members from any
location and at any time
In determining the District needs and the required feature set for this system, an online
survey was taken collectively among the members of the Capital Projects Committee,
managers, and Board administration staff.
Based on the responses of this survey, the required (Must -Have) feature and optional
(Nice -to -Have) feature sets were used to identify four (4) vendors that may meet these
criteria. These vendors were asked to complete a preliminary survey.
The cost estimate for an average Board portal/binder may be based on the number of
users. Most vendors charge a one -time setup fee. For 20 users, the recurring annual cost
estimates provided by some of the vendors range from $970 to $22,000 per year. This
estimate includes web -based training, support, maintenance, updates, security, and
backups.
The staff recommendation is to proceed to the next step and work with Purchasing in
preparing a Request for Proposal for the Board Portal/Binder system. Once a vendor is
selected it is recommended that a pilot study be conducted to determine how effective the
study is before rolling out to the whole District.
Determine District's Online Board Portal/Binder needs:
We determined the required (Must -Have) and the optional (Nice -to -Have) feature sets for
the online Board Portal/Binder through a series of surveys to the following groups: the
Capital Projects Committee members, managers, and the Board admin staff.
• Exhibit AA — Online Board Portal/Binder Feature List and
• Exhibit AB — Board Portal Feature - Staff Survey Results
Survey Vendors - Request for Information:
Using the survey results, Elaine Boehme, Donna Anderson and I researched and
identified four vendors that may meet our needs - Granicus, Board Vantage, Diligent and
Board Effect. We also requested these vendors to complete our survey (Exhibit B).
Based on the preliminary vendor survey, the vendors that meet most of the feature sets
are as follows:
Request for Proposal and Demo
Staff recommends to the committee to proceed with the next step of working with
Purchasing in requesting a proposal from the vendors. The proposal will consist of
vendor demos and evaluation of their products based on our established requirements.
The recommendation is to setup a 4- person evaluation team made up of Purchasing (1),
IT (1), Capital Projects Committee member (optional), and Board Admin (1). Staff
would like feedback if a Capital Projects Committee member would like to participate
and which one.
Once the Request for Proposal process is completed, the evaluation team will report back
to the full committee with their recommendation.
Pilot Study
When the vendor is selected, several users will be needed for a pilot to determine if the
benefits of the portal system are such that it should be rolled out to the entire Board and
staff. Board Committee input is welcome on who should participate in the pilot. At this
time, it is assumed the participants would provide their own hardware.

Central Contra Costa
Sanitary District
I
CONTRACTUAL ASSESSMENT DISTRICT POLICY STATEMENT
PURPOSE
The purpose of the Contractual Assessment District (CAD) program is to provide
financial assistance to small groups of homeowners with inadequate septic tank
systems so that they may extend the public sewer system to serve their properties. The
intent of the CAD program is to assist single family homeowners with failing or
inadequate septic tanks who might not otherwise have the means to finance the cost of
extending the public sewer. The CAD program is intended for residential properties,
primarily owner - occupied, and not commercial properties.
POLICY
Introduction
This policy statement for the CAD program establishes the criteria for formation of CAD
projects, the process for the CAD program and methodology for allocating costs and
assessments among CAD participants.
CADs are small assessment districts formed pursuant to Streets and Highways Code
Section 5898, et seq. to extend sewer facilities to residential areas currently served by
septic tank and leachfield systems.
The District Board of Directors first approved a CAD Policy Statement in January 1999.
Also, at that time, the Board authorized $1,000,000 per fiscal year for three fiscal years
beginning July 1998 and ending June 2001. The Board desired to evaluate the
effectiveness of the CAD program toward the end of the third fiscal year. A Board
workshop regarding the CAD program was held November 30, 2000. This revised
policy statement is an outcome of that evaluation.
CAD Program Funding
The District will continue with the policy of a $1,000,000 per year budgetary ceiling for
CADs during the fiscal years 2001 -02 and 2002 -03. This ceiling amount is to be
BP 010
Page 2 of 8
calculated based on the total allocation to CAD projects receiving Board approval during
each fiscal year. The Board of Directors, in their discretion, may modify this program,
including increasing or decreasing the budgetary ceiling, at anytime. Nothing in this
policy is intended to bind the District to continue with the program for any predetermined
time period, nor does it create any right or entitlement in favor of potential program
participants. In the absence of any intervening action of the Board of Directors, it will
review the effectiveness of the CAD program at or near the end of Fiscal Year 2002 -03.
Definitions
• A Contractual Assessment District (CAD) is a legal entity established pursuant
to Streets and Highways Code Chapter 5898 for the purpose of financing the
construction of sewers in residential areas currently being served by septic tanks.
• Parcel or property denotes in this policy a piece of residential real estate,
including land and anything permanently affixed to the land, including buildings.
The terms "parcel" and "property' have the same meaning herein and shall refer
to the divisions of property as indicated on County Assessor's Parcel maps.
• Participants are owners of properties directly tributary to the proposed facilities
who voluntarily agree to enter into a CAD contract.
• Non participants are owners of properties directly tributary to the proposed
facilities who do not to enter into a CAD contract. Non - participants will not be
assessed for their share of the sewer improvement costs until the time of
connection.
• Non participant reimbursement fees are fees collected from owners of non-
participant parcels at the time of connection to the sewer to reimburse current
participant parcel owners for the non - participant parcel's share of the cost of
sewer improvements installed under the CAD.
Criteria for Formation
In order to be eligible for participation in the District's CAD assessment financing
program, the proposed sewer extension project must meet the CAD formation criteria.
District staff will make a threshold eligibility determination and will provide proponents
with a written determination of eligibility. The criteria are as follows:
1. A minimum of five properties must be directly tributary to the proposed CAD
facilities.
2. A minimum of 60 percent of the properties directly tributary to the proposed CAD
facilities must have existing homes served by the septic tank systems.
BP 010
Page 3of8
3. A participant parcel may not have more than two (2) dwellings to participate in
a CAD.
Notwithstanding the above - listed criteria, the District's decision as to whether to form a
CAD will be determined on a case -by -case basis and is at the sole discretion of the
Board of Directors. The Board may consider technical, economic, staffing, budgetary,
environmental and other factors in its consideration of whether to form a CAD.
CAD Formation Process
There are several staff -level actions and three Board approval steps in the CAD
process. The District Board of Directors will consider approval of individual CAD
projects which staff has determined meet the formation criteria. The following Board
actions are required: (1) initiation of a CAD; (2) approval of the Engineer's Report and
assessments, ordering of the improvements, and approval of the CAD election; and
(3) approval and levying of final assessments.
Initial Actions
1. Small groups of property owners may be eligible for a CAD if (1) they occupy
houses served by septic tanks, and (2) they seek a sewer main extension to
provide for connection to the District system. District staff will work with the
owners to explain the CAD process. If a sufficient number of property owners
and the District remain interested in proceeding with a CAD and the criteria for
CAD formation appears to be met, the District will consider initiation of a CAD.
Property owners will be requested to submit letters indicating their interest in
formation of a CAD. Property owners will also be requested to submit
annexation petitions if their properties are not already part of the District. Staff
will issue a letter setting forth its initial determination of eligibility for the CAD
program.
2. If District staff determines that a proposed CAD does not meet the formation
criteria, staff will notify the property owners in the proposed CAD of the staff
decision in writing. Property owners may appeal this staff decision to the District
Board of Directors in accordance with Chapter 1.16 of the District Code except
as modified by this policy. This policy allows property owners 30 days to request
an appeal of a staff decision. The Secretary of the District will schedule the
matter for a hearing before the Board of Directors and provide written notice of
the time and place of that hearing to the affected property owners.
Creation of Assessment Dist
Participants are required to retain an engineer to design and solicit bids for the
private work (the sewer facilities).
BP 010
Page 4 of 8
2. An Engineer's Report estimating project costs and assessment levels will be
prepared by the District in accordance with state law. Residents will have 18
months from when the District initiates formation of a CAD to submit sewer plans,
construction bids and other information necessary for the District to prepare an
Engineer's Report.
3. The District will distribute Notices of Proposed Assessment and conduct an
election in accordance with state law by which property owners may indicate their
approval of or opposition to the proposed assessment.
4. The Board of Directors will conduct a public hearing to announce the outcome of
the election and receive public comment about the proposed assessment. In
addition, the public hearing will be to receive comments on annexation of
properties in a CAD if a public hearing is required as part of the annexation
process.
5. Following the public hearing, Board of Directors will determine the election
results and consider approval of the Engineer's Report, preliminary assessments,
and the CAD improvements.
6. If the proponent property owners do not provide all necessary information,
including approved plans and construction bids, within 18 months of District's
initiation of CAD proceedings, the CAD process will be terminated.
Assessment Contract and Construction
1. Following approval by the Board of Directors of the Engineer's Report and CAD
improvements, the participants must enter into a written contract with the District
which describes the responsibilities of the parties, the work, and the provisions
for payments.
2. The District will undertake the procedural requirements to form the CAD, and will
review the plans for compliance with District standards, finance the work, and
establish the assessments.
3. Participants are required to hire a contractor and to supervise the construction of
the private works CAD facilities. The District will have no contractual relationship
with the contractor and will not provide construction management or site
supervision; however, the District will inspect the project consistent with
prevailing District inspection procedures.
4. The District will accept the work if the work is done in accordance with District
standards.
5. Participants shall be required to provide all project cost records and related
information. District staff will review project costs, evaluate eligible project costs,
BP 010
Page 5 of 8
and determine the proposed final assessments. The Board of Directors will then
consider approval and levying of the final assessments.
Payments and Assessments
1. Unless limited by other provisions of this policy, each participant shall have the
option to pay for his share of CAD expenses after the work is completed by either
(1) lump sum cash payment or (2) by contractually subjecting his property to an
annual assessment, including interest, over the term of the CAD. Regardless of
the payment option chosen, participants pay all costs of the sewer main
extension and other appurtenant facilities required to bring service to the
participants' parcels. The existence or non - existence of potential non - participant
connectors shall not affect the obligation of the participants to pay for all costs
associated with the project.
2. The term of the participants' assessment (payback period) shall be ten years.
The interest rate shall be fixed when the contract between the participants and
the District is signed for the District by the General Manager. The annual
interest rate for assessments shall be one percent (1 %) above the current
average interest rate on District temporary investments or an interest rate of six
percent (6 %), whichever is greater.'
3. Participants are limited to use of the ten -year annual assessment payment option
for a single parcel at any given time. If a person(s) owns two or more parcels in
the same CAD or different CADs, that person(s) may be a participant for more
than one parcel, but will be eligible for the annual assessment option for a single
parcel. The shares of the CAD expenses for the other parcels must be paid by
the lump sum payment option.
4. In the event a participant is not eligible for the CAD assessment financing option,
the participant shall make a full lump sum payment prior to initiation of contract
based on the preliminary assessment figures set forth in the Engineer's Report.
Return of any excess payment or additional required payments shall be made at
the time of fixing of final assessments.
5. The assessments shall be equal for each participant's parcel unless otherwise
provided for in the contract and documents creating the CAD. If an existing
participant's parcel can be legally subdivided, there are two dwellings currently
existing on a single parcel, or other cost -of- service related factors justifying
differing assessments are present, said parcel may be assigned more than one
assessment.
The language regarding the minimum 6% interest resulted from an amendment adopted September 5,
2002 via Resolution No. 2002 -071.
BP 010
Page 6 of 8
6. The costs of the work associated with sanitary sewer mains, manholes, rodding
inlets and private sewer laterals within public streets or rights of way may be
included as eligible costs of the CAD. Eligible CAD costs may also include costs
for other appurtenances within public streets or rights of way necessary to bring
the sewer service to the participants. The cost of septic tank abandonment,
installation of the private sewer laterals (not within a public street or public right of
way), and District fees and charges customarily due upon connection to the
public sewer shall be excluded from CAD financing. For purposes of this
paragraph, "rights of way" shall include public or private roads providing legal
ingress and egress to multiple parcels.
7. The CAD assessments will be imposed on each participant's parcel and recorded
as a lien against the parcel. The assessment will include the principal and
interest and will be collected on the property tax bill as an assessment along with
taxes and other assessments and charges on the subject parcel.
CAD Non - Participant Reimbursement Fees
CAD non - participant reimbursement fees will be established by the District Board
of Directors in accordance with District practice and the CAD contract if District
staff determines that there are non - participant parcels which could connect to the
CAD facility. The District will collect CAD non - participant reimbursement fees for
a period of 20 years from the date of the CAD formation. The obligation of a non-
participant parcel owner to pay a reimbursement fee upon connection to a CAD
sewer will expire after the 20 -year period.
2. CAD non - participant reimbursement fees will be established by the Board after a
public hearing and after final assessments have been established.
3. For purposes of calculating the amount of a CAD non - participant reimbursement
fee to be applied to a subsequently connecting parcel, a non - participant parcel
will be treated as a participant parcel for the purposes of calculation and
distribution of subsequently collected reimbursement fees.
4. CAD non - participant reimbursement fees will be calculated by dividing the total
CAD cost by the current number of participants. The number of participants for
this purpose shall include the total of the original and subsequent connectors,
and the current non - participant reimbursement fee payor. The following example
illustrates this calculation process.

6. As non - participating owners connect their homes to the sewer extension, District
staff will collect a CAD non - participant reimbursement fee from each newly
connecting non - participant parcel owner. Each newly received CAD non-
participant reimbursement fee will be divided uniformly among the current owners
of participant parcels. The owner(s) of the participant parcel at the time of the
distribution shall receive any excess amount of a reimbursement share over that
needed to extinguish any remaining CAD assessment, such amount to be limited
to the total amount of CAD assessments or lump sum payment paid by the then
current parcel owner(s), reduced by other excess reimbursement amounts
previously paid to this same parcel owner(s). The District will forward a
notification of available funds and a verification form to the current participant
parcel owner(s) at the address reflected in the then current Assessor's records.
Upon receipt of a properly completed verification form by the District, the District
will forward a check to the then current participant parcel owner in the amount of
the participant parcel owner's share as determined herein.
7. The District shall have no affirmative responsibility to locate the eligible
participant parcel owner(s), other than to mail notice to the Assessor's address
2 After a non - participant parcel owner pays their reimbursement fee, the non - participant parcel owner

for the parcel owner; nor shall the District be required to attempt to contact an
eligible owner's estate, or heirs, nor to locate or protect other potential interest
holders. Any proceeds from collections of CAD non - participant reimbursement
fees which are held by the District for over three years due to inaction on the part
of an eligible owner, or excess proceeds from CAD non - participant
reimbursement fees accumulated pursuant to the procedures set forth herein, will
become the property of the District.

Project Descriptions
TREATMENT PLANT PROGRAM
Project # Project Title
DP 6169 Instrument & Control — PLC System Upgrades Phase 2
The Treatment Plant's Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) System was upgraded to
current technology for increased performance and improved compatibility. Work done
included replacing the original PLCs used in the Solids Conditioning Building and the
original PLC communication network, replacing the 984 series CPUs and the 800 series
1 /0, providing new Programmable Device Support (PDS) hardware and software so that
the system can be backed up, and numerous other upgrades.
DP 7247 Treatment Plant Protective Coating Phase 4
Much of the treatment plant's process infrastructure is almost 30 years old and has
received limited coating or repainting, except for that completed under the first three
phases of this project. The Phase 4 project contributed to the efforts of the Treatment
Plant Asset Management Plan by providing a detailed evaluation of the entire plant
coating system to identify the critical infrastructure to be cleaned and coated. Under
this project, protective coatings were applied to the headworks bar screens, fuel oil
storage tanks, piping and structural supports in the basement of the pump and blower
building, structural steel and piping at the clear well, carbide lime tanks, and the crane
on top of the sludge storage tanks.
DP 7248 Standby Power Facility Improvements
This project replaced the treatment plant standby power diesel engine generators to
meet new California Air Resource Board regulations, improve reliability, and provide
enough run time to meet District needs. The facility building was modified to accept the
new engine generators and also brought up to current seismic standards. A permanent
connection point was constructed for trailer- mounted generators. Power generation
was changed over to 12kv to improve reliability by eliminating the 4160v/12kv
transformer, and feeder cables were replaced.
DP 7260 Solids Handling Improvements
The Solids Handling Facilities Plan Update of September 2005 recommended
improvements for emergency and non - routine handling of biosolids to meet the ultimate
solids capacity needs for year 2035. This project included the design and construction
of those recommended improvements, which are intended to provide sludge handling
capability in the event of emergency or in case of regulatory changes that require shut-
down of the Multiple Hearth Furnaces. A sludge truck loading station with odor control
and sludge cake hoppers for storage of sludge cake generated overnight or on holidays
was constructed.
DP 7264 Primary Treatment Expansion
This project evaluated improvements to increase operational flexibility, redundancy, and
to increase capacity for wet weather flows through the primary treatment process. The
need for improvements was identified in the 2002 Effluent Discharge Limit Increase
Project Final Environmental Impact Report and during record wet weather flows in the
winter of 2005 -06. The project developed a preliminary design concept for the addition
of two primary sedimentation tanks, and evaluated upgrades to the existing tanks and
systems. Design and construction of the new primary sedimentation tanks, if needed,
will be under a new project that is not currently scheduled in the Ten -Year Capital
Improvement Plan.
DP 7277 Solids Conditioning Building (SCB) Mechanical Room
This project designed and constructed improvements to the SCB HVAC system to
replace worn out system components. The mechanical room on the first floor of the
SCB contains pumps, a chiller, steam and water piping, and an air - handling unit that
provides conditioned air to the MCC Room on the second floor and to various areas
within the Furnace Control Room on the third floor. The chiller, pumps, and some
piping were replaced during the SCB Ventilations Improvements project. However, the
original air - handling unit installed during the treatment plant expansion in the mid 1970s
was still in service. This project replaced the aging air - handling unit and control system
and associated steam and water piping, and replaced five roof exhaust fans.
DP 7281 Treatment Plant Elevator Modernization
Two elevators in the SCB were installed in 1975 and are critical for operation and
maintenance activities. In addition to scheduled monthly maintenance, an elevator
maintenance company is frequently called out for unscheduled maintenance. In 2009,
the District hired a consultant to assess the condition of the elevators. The major
findings were that the elevators are obsolete; the manufacturer is out of business; spare
parts and technical support are no longer available; and the equipment is out of
compliance with current electrical and fire codes. This project modernized the freight
and passenger elevators in the SCB, and replaced the door sensor on the HOB
elevator.
DP 7282 Perimeter Fencing Renovations
The treatment plant has over 20,000 feet of fencing, mostly chain -link that was installed
in the 1970s. In addition, there are single -swing and double -swing gates. Portions of
the perimeter fencing have been repaired or replaced over the years. However, the
entire perimeter required evaluation to ensure that plant security was maintained. This
project evaluated the security and condition of the perimeter fencing and renovated and
replaced portions as needed.
DP 8213 Treatment Plant Security Upgrade
Locks at the Treatment Plant and other locations were upgraded to bring them into
conformity with the District's master key system under this project. Additional work was
planned but was put on hold pending FEMA mandates for infrastructure security
upgrades which were not issued. Upgrading other aspects of the District's security
system, such as a card reader system upgrade, will be included under future projects.
COLLECTION SYSTEM PROGRAM
Project # Project Title
DP 5900 2011 Storm Damage Repair
As part of the Collection System Urgent Projects Program, this project repaired damage
to sewers from winter storms.
DP 5915 Collection System Modeling Systems Upgrade
The District's former hydraulic model (Sewer Network Analysis Program, or SNAP) was
a DOS based system that provided results in a format that were not user friendly, and
had no graphical interface. This project included designing and commissioning a
replacement model (ArcSNAP) that provides results in a format that are more readily
interpreted and also has a Geographic Information System interface. The District has
been using the new ArcSNAP model since 2004.
A hydraulic grade line analysis feature (surcharge analysis) was added during FY 2004-
05. In FY 2005 -06 model calibration was performed using flow monitoring from the
previous winter's storm. In FY 2006 -07 the model was revised to handle the new
Geomedia GIS mapping software that Engineering Support acquired. In FY 2007 -08, a
set of SunGard data queries was generated to assist with parcel related data. In 2009-
10, minor software changes were made.
DP 5947 Manhole Rehabilitation Project
The District has approximately 30,000 active manhole structures throughout the service
area. Some are in various stages of degradation from corrosion, root intrusion,
excessive infiltration, structural failure, etc. This project evaluated and prepared
recommendations and specifications for demonstration of the various repair products
available in the marketplace. The demonstration projects will be included in upcoming
renovation projects.
DP 5953 Diablo Sewer Renovations Phase 1
Sewers in the Diablo area are some of the oldest and least accessible sewers in the
District's collection system. They are shallow in depth and are generally in poor
condition. This project replaced or renovated approximately 12,000 feet of 6 -inch and
8 -inch sewers in the public right of way and easements.
DP 5983 Ferrous Pipe Corrosion Control
Under this project, a Ferrous Pipe Inventory was created for the District's Collection
System. It includes details of pipe size and type, and locations. The document
describes existing inspection technologies, failure mechanisms, rehabilitation methods
and sulfide control techniques.
DP 5990 Lafayette Sewer Renovation Phase 7
This project replaced or rehabilitated approximately 13,000 feet of 6- and 8 -inch sewers
at several sites in the City of Lafayette and neighboring areas.
DP 5994 Lafayette - Pleasant Hill Road Trunk Sewer
The 2010 update of the Collection System Master Plan analyzed the District's entire
sewer system using the ArcSNAP hydraulic model. The design flows to the sewers in
this corridor were calculated at 130% to 270% of full pipe capacity. The project diverted
flow away from the 10 -inch sewer across Acalanes High School property into a new 15-
inch sewer along Pleasant Hill Road from Springhill Road to Stanley Boulevard. The
remaining deficient sewers were upsized within their current alignments and connected
to the 18 -inch sewer crossing under Highway 24.
DP 5997 Concord Naval Weapons Station Facilities Plan
This project investigated possible alignments for bringing wastewater from the Concord
Naval Weapons Station (CNWS) Redevelopment Area to the Treatment Plant. The
technical reports completed as part of this work include:
• Alternative Alignments for Serving the CNWS Redevelopment Area,
• Improvement Needs of North Concord Collection System, and
• Life Cycle Cost Analysis of Alternative Alignments for Serving the CNWS
Redevelopment Area.
DP 6001 Martinez Facilities Plan
Ths project developed a prioritized list of pipes that are in need of renovation for the
sewer shed upstream of the Martinez Pump Station. Utilizing the maintenance data,
CCTV scores, and other historical data, these sewers have been evaluated to
determine which are in need of replacement. This information will aid in the future site
selection for pipeline renovation projects in Martinez.
DP 6499 Vista del Orinda Contractual Assessment District (CAD)
This project designed and constructed approximately 850 linear feet of 8 -inch sanitary
sewer pipeline, four manholes, and appurtenant work and facilities located along Vista
Del Orinda in Orinda. The project serves ten residential parcels, eight of which are
developed with homes using septic systems. Two of the properties have already
converted to sanitary sewer service.
DP 8400 2011 -12 Development Sewerage
Work done by District staff to ensure that contributed sewers meet the District's
Standard Specifications for Design and Construction is funded from the Sewer
Construction Fund, since it results directly in District capital assets (completed main
sewers, easements and permanent records.) This project provided a means to
capitalize District labor and other expenses for planning, design, and construction of
developer installed and contributed main sewer facilities during the 2011 -12 fiscal year.
GENERAL IMPROVEMENTS PROGRAM
Pr_oiect # Project Title
DP 8208 Collection System Operations Department (CSOD) Facility
Improvements
The CSOD administration and crew building was originally constructed as the District's
headquarters office building and was not designed for use as a collection systems
operations building. The old facility did not meet the current and future needs of the
District. After a comprehensive evaluation of alternatives, the District built a new
administration, crew, and warehouse building at the location of the old one. Site
improvements such as new paving and landscaping were also included. The new
facility opened in the fall of 2011.

Submitted By: Initiating DeptJDiv.:
Earlene Millier, Engineering Assistant III Engineering /Environmental Services
REVIEWED AND RECOMMENDED FOR BOARD ACTION:
E. Millier T. Brightbill J. Miyamoto -Mills Ann E. Farrell
General Manager
ISSUE: Board approval of the revised 2012 -13 Capital Improvement Budget (CIB)
funding authorization table (Table 1) will result in an accurate presentation of the actual
authorized funding level for the current budget year.
RECOMMENDATION: Approve a revised 2012 -13 CIB funding authorization (Revised
Table 1), and total 2012 -13 revised authorizations for each program.
FINANCIAL IMPACTS: Planned expenditures have not changed.
ALTERNATIVES /CONSIDERATIONS: The Board could direct staff to modify the CIB
by canceling and closing some ongoing projects to reduce the carryover of previously
allocated funds, or defer some planned 2012 -13 allocations to reduce "Allocations This
Fiscal Year" and thus keep the total funding authorization level consistent with the
estimates included in the approved CIB. This alternative is not recommended.
BACKGROUND: The Board approved the CIB for inclusion in the FY 2012 -13 District
Budget and adopted the budget on June 7, 2012. Final expenditures for FY 2011 -12
were not known at that time, and therefore, Table 1 of the CIB included estimated
amounts for funds previously allocated to ongoing projects, but unspent at the end of
the fiscal year, referred to as "carryover ". Now that actual 2011 -12 expenditures for
capital projects are known, Table 1 has been revised to reflect the actual carryover
amounts.
The difference in carryover between estimated and actual carryover (approximately
$10,428,000) is due primarily to changes in the timing of projects, which left allocated
funds unspent. Allocated but unspent amounts are carried over to the next fiscal year.
Because of the project changes and consequent higher carryover, the Total Proposed
Authorization is now $51,377,883.

It is appropriate for the Board to approve the revised 2012 -13 CIB Table 1 with actual,
rather than estimated carryover of allocated but unspent funds for ongoing projects, and
