I. PROGRESS REPORT ON LOCATING A SEPARATE SITE FOR ADMINISTRATION AND
ENGINEERING DEPARTMENTS
We contacted Grubb & Ellis Commercial Brokerage Company to investigate
availability of land and /or buildings in the general Walnut Creek area.
The criterion we furnished them was a 3 or 4 story building having a
minimum total of 20,000 square feet. Including landscaping and parking,
it appears we need a 1 -1/2 to 2 acre site. Based on these guidelines,
Grubb & Ellis submitted the following available sites and /or buildings
for our consideration:
A layout of a 3 -story building is being prepared by staff. The first
floor has areas for a lobby, boardroom (100 seat capacity), permit division,
surveyors, inspectors, mechanical room, restrooms, etc., which would require
approximately 10,000 square feet including space for hallways, stairs and
elevators. The middle floor will contain the majority of the Engineering
staff and the top floor will house Administration.

MEMORANDUM FOR: HONORABLE MEMBERS OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS
VIA: Roger J. Dolan, General Manager -Chief Engineer
SUBJECT: BOARD AUTHORIZATION OF $15,000 FOR SPECIAL
OPERATIONAL SERVICES
Issue: The present startup and operation of the Water Pollution Control/
Reclamation Plant requires special operational services.
Background: The Water Pollution Control /Reclamation Plant is entering
into the fourth week of operation. This has required the startup of
the secondary system and the development of special solids handling
systems. We are also scheduling the startup of the chemical feed
systems and furnace operation. The temporary solids handling and solids
conditioning system operations are presenting an abnormal workload and
an operational cost which is very sensitive to operational procedures
and techniques.
Mr. Ron Doty, Plant Management Consultant, of Brown and Caldwell
has 25 years of experience in plant operations and the technical back-
ground to meet this immediate need and provide a cost - effective solution
to this problem.
It is proposed that Brown and Caldwell be authorized to provide Mr.
Doty for a maximum of 300 hours at $46.83/hr. to perform special services
under Section IJ of the Brown and Caldwell /Sanitary District contract for
engineering services dated January 3, 1974.
Recommendation: Board authorization of $15,000 for special engineering
services under Section IJ of the Brown and Caldwell /Sanitary District
contract for engineering services dated January 3, 1974•

MEMORANDUM FOR: THE HONORABLE MEMBERS OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS
VIA: Roger J. Dolan, General Manager -Chief Engineer
SUBJECT: TRANSFER OF 1976 -77 08M BUDGET SURPLUS FUNDS AND 1977 -78
RUNNING EXPENSE TAX FUNDS TO THE SEWER CONSTRUCTION FUND.
ISSUE: Investments can only be made from the Sewer Construction fund. While
the 1976 -77 EQC surplus is being held in reserve for future application to
the operating budget, it should be earning interest. Legally it also is
necessary to transfer 1977 -78 Running Expense Tax funds to Sewer Construction
for fiscal control and investment.
BACKGROUND: We have previously transferred $1,000,000 of the EQC surplus,
but were unable to transfer the balance because it was being used for current
operating expenses until receipt of this years first installment payments of
the EQ charge in December.
The County has instituted a new fund accounting procedure which in this
case has delayed balancing of special district funds.
We now have $4,400,000 in the Running Expense Fund, $1,400,000 of which
is 1977-78 tax receipts. We will receive another $3,000,000 in EQC and taxes
in April.
RECOMMENDATION: Authorize transfer of $1,400,000 in tax receipts and
1,000,000 in 1976 -77 EQC revenues from the Running Expense fund to the
Sewer Construction fund of the District.
