SUBMITTED BY INITIATING DEPT./DIV. Clark L. Weddle I Engineering ISSUE: It is necessary to reassign responsibilities to handle the planning function of the District. BACKGROUND: William Dalton has been responsible for District planning. Upon Mr. Dalton's retirement, planning activities of the District were reviewed and evaluated. A need was found to expand these activities to provide input to the budget preparation process and to achieve a capability for updating projected needs for additional District facilities on a more frequent basis. Staffing requirements were reviewed and the most appropriate solution was determined as depicted in the attached chart. Ron Klimczak, currently an Associate Engineer in charge of the Permit and Plan Review Section, will be laterally trans- ferred to the Planning Section. A new Associate Engineer is needed to head the Permit and Plan Review Section. A new position of Civil Engineering Assistant I should be created and filled from an existing eligibility list. The person advanced to fill the position of Civil Engineering Assistant 1 is presently an Engineering Aid III. The District is currently engaged in a study of the Engineering Aid series to determine if the most appropriate distribution of responsibilities between the three positions in this series exists. At the conclusion of this study, it is intended to delete an Engineering Aid position so that there would be no net increase in personnel as a result of this redistri- bution of responsibility. It would not be appropriate at this time to select the level of position to be deleted. Activities of the planning section will include review of tentative maps and EIRs, watershed studies (evaluating the need for additional pipeline capacity), review of capital improvements at the treatment plant, flow studies, source control, environmental quality charge system, contact with other agencies, and special investigations as the need arises. RECOMMENDATION: Authorize the addition of one position of Associate Engineer, Range 77 $2155-2612) and one position of Civil Engineering Assistant I, Range 69 ($1782-2155) in the Engineering Department and the deletion of one position of Deputy General Manager/Chief Engineer Range 94 ($3197-3885).

DISTINGUISHING CHARACTERISTICS Positions in this class are distinguis:ied from the next lower engineer- ing class (Engineering Aid III) by (1) the level and complexity of assigned engineering work and (2) the responsibility for supervision of employees in subordinate positions. On a survey crew, employees in this class perform the most difficult instrument and survey note --taking work and also serve as assistant to the party chief. In office assignments, a Civil Engineering Assistant I assists in the design work for major District projects and/or assumes full class -level responsibility for the design and plan preparation for projects of minor complexity. Positions in this class may also supervise a small group of subordinate personnel engaged in drafting or mapping pro- jects. Positions in this class are distinguished from those in the next higher engineering class (Civil Engineering Assistant II) by the fact that they do not assume independent responsibility for a survey party or for moderately large or complex engineering projects. EXAMPLE OF DUTIES Assists in the engineering and completion of drawings for major sewer systems and appurtenant structures; assumes independent class -level respon- sibility for the design and plan preparation for projects of minor complex- ity; performs difficult computations, drafting and mapping work; plans, assigns and supervises the work of a small group of subordinate engineering personnel engaged in the preparation and/or revision of maps, drawings, plans, profiles, studies, etc.; contacts the public and representatives of other agencies to discuss and resolve issues of mutual concern, evaluates the existing collection system and treatmentplant to determine the need for additional facilities_ with increased capacities; participates in the review of documents prepared and submitted by others; may perform field inspections of sewer construction projects and/or individual dischargers; acts as Instru- ment man on a survey party, performing the most difficult instrument and note taking work; acts as an assistant to a survey party chief; assists in locating and assembling maps, deeds, notes and other information pertinent to the per- formance of assigned field engineering work; performs a variety of other civil engineering field and office work.

DOLAN �7 A DATE General Manager—Chief Engineer 12/6/79 SUBJECT TYPE OF ACTION ADOPT AMENDED PERSONNEL ADVANCEMENT PROCEDURE PERSONNEL SUBMITTED BY Gail Koff, Personnel Officer INITIATING DEPT. DIV. Personnel Division ISSUE: The District Board, at its meeting of November 15, 1979, approved a Personnel Advancement Procedure for certain positions at the District. The original procedural guide stated that when a person is promoted from the entry level to the second and third level positions, that the employee "will be on probation for at least six months". Discussions with Management and the Employees Association concerning the fair administration of this section of the procedure, require the District to request a change in this probationary period to be from "a minimum of 6 months" to a 12 month probationary period. RECOMMENDATION: Adopt amended policy and procedure forpersonnel advancements withrevise twelve month probationary period for an employee who advances to the second and third level positions.

REVIEW OF PERSONNEL ADVANCEMENT PROCEDURE TYPE OF ACTION PERSONNEL SUBMITTED BY Jay S. McCoy, Collection System Engineering & Services Division Manager ISSUE: It will be advantageous to the District to create a procedure to advance employees in lower level positions. BACKGROUND: The District Code provides for advancement of employees by competitive examination. There is no specific provision for limiting the competition to current District employees. The existing administrative policy for advancements is termed the "Rule of S". If at least five District employees meet the qualifications for a vacant position, a promotional test is held to fill the position. Non -District persons are not allowed to compete. If there are fewer than five qualified District employees, an open test is held in which non -District persons are allowed to compete. To require competition for advance- ments at lower levels seems to be unecessary and tends to demoralize existing employees. The attached procedure has been developed through months of deliberation. The main points of the procedure are underlined on the attchlTlent. Each department will implement the procedure by establishing performance tests and testing qualified employees. Three employees in Engineering and six in Collection System Operations would be eligible to advance and, if they all did in the next year, an increase of approximately $630 per month in salaries paid will result. It is anticipated that a new position will be created in Plant Operations to implement the procedure. This position will be entry level and fall between Plant Attendant and Operator I levels. The immediate financial impact will be an increase in salaries paid of $600 per month based on the creation of ten positions at the new entry level. It is also anticipated that a new position will be created in Administration below Records Clerk and will be considered the entry level. There will be no immediate financial impact in Administration due to this change. RECOMMENDATION: Direct the personnel advancement procedure to the Personnel Committee for report and recommendation at the Board meeting of December 6, 1979. REVIEWFn bun DCrALun►Intn ans on•n..

Background: The present position of Plant Operations Division Manager is responsible for the direct supervision of three major divisions of the treat- ment plant, the Laboratory, Operations, and Maintenance which requires the supervision of 100 people and a budget expenditure of approximately 71 million dollars. The staffing plan for the Plant Operations Department, as presented in the Sanitary District's Facilities Plan and Project Report dated August, 1975, pro- vided for two senior level positions, Plant Operations Engineer and Plant Main- tenance Engineer who report directly to the Manager of Plant Operations. Due to difficulties in recruitment of qualified personnel and the potential cost savings of combining the positions, these two positions were combined. It has become apparent that the professional and technical skills required, along with the job responsibilities of both the operation of an advanced waste- water treatment plant and the maintenance of complex mechanical equipment were beyond a one classification position. It is recommended that the position respon- sibilities of Plant Operations Division Manager be divided into two positions of Plant Operations Division Manager and Maintenance Division Manager.

BACKGROUND: The Board adopted Resolution 79-101 (copy attached), dated May 31, 1979, fixing the 1979-80 EQC rates subject to any changes resulting from the hearing scheduled for Board Meeting of June 21, 1979. Also attached are three tables to be considered as part of this review. Table 1 shows the estimated salary savings that are expected to result from unfilled positions in fiscal year 79/80. Table 2 shows a computation of EQC rates considering the impact of continued inflation and growth through fiscal year 81/82. Table 3 shows a computation of EQC revenue for various EQC rates. From the tables, it can be seen that the predicted salary savings would result in a reduction of O & M costs of approximately $85,000. When this figure is used to recompute the required EQC rate, it results in almost a $1.00 reduction. The inflationary predictions for 79/80 through 81/82 are based on an 8% inflation factor which may be low in light of recent trends. RECOMMENDATION: The Board should consider the option of reducing the EQC rate ($7 set on May 1, 1979 by $1.00 to reflect the predicted salary savings. If a change is desired, the Board should rescind Resolution 79-101 and adopt a new resolution based on the changed rate. If it is the consensus of the Board that no change is desired, no action is needed.

The first is a review of the District's Operations and Maintenance budget. The second is a review of the setting of the District's Environmental Quality Charge to determine if any change is appropriate. The third matter for consideration is the issue of collection of the Environmental Quality Charge on the County tax bill. The format for the hearing will be as follows: The hearing will be opened and staff will be asked to begin by reviewing the Operations and Maintenance budget for Fiscal Year 1979/$0, Following this review and Board discussion, the public will be asked to comment on or question any budget related items. Following the completion of the discussion on the budget, the staff will be asked to review the computation of the Environmental Quality Charge. This same sequence will be followed until all public input is received on the question of the collection of the Environmental Quality Charge on the County tax bill. After the hearing is closed, the Board will consider an action on each of the three matters. CN June 14, 1979 Co MEMORANDUM FOR: PERSONNEL COMMITTEE OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS VIA: Roger J. Dolan, General Manager -Chief Engineer SUBJECT: ROY JOHNSON, SHIFT SUPERVISOR -- DISCIPLINARY ACTION Issue: Disciplinary action was required in the Plant Operations Department. Background: On June 11, 1979 at approximately 5 a.m., there was a chlorine leak w ich resulted in plant personnel requiring medical attention. The accident and injury to plant personnel were due to actions of Roy Johnson, Shift Supervisor, who was in charge of the treatment plant. Mr. Johnson disregarded written operational directives and safety procedures which resulted in a major chlorine leak exposing unprotected personnel to chlorine gas. The severity of a situation in which an employee who is in full charge of the treatment plant disregarding written operational and safety procedures, required the immediate suspension of the responsible employee. This suspension immediately removed Mr. Johnson from direct supervision of the treatment plant and provided time to reevaluate his qualifications for the responsible position of Shift Supervisor. Recommendation: Board authorization to implement the actions outlined in the attached memorandum to Roy Johnson. DGN:mg Encl. Reviewed: Gail Koff Personnel Officer Reviewed: W. C.

Niles, Manager, Plant Operations SUBJECT: DISCIPLINARY ACTION REGARDING CHLORINE ACCIDENT The chlorine accident which occurred on June 11, 1979 has been carefully reviewed. It has been concluded that your actions were outside your authority and that written procedures were grossly violated. Personnel working directily under your supervision were working in viola- tion of written chlorine safety procedures. This resulted in personal injury and loss of work. This accident was of such a serious nature that toss of life could have occurred. Because of the seriousness of this error in supervision, the following dis- ciplinary action will be taken: 1. Four days' suspension without pay - June 12 through June 15, 1979 2. Reassignment of responsibilities working on special projects as a shift supervisor beginning on June 18, 1979. 3. Reduced from a Shift Supervisor to an Operator III position effective September 15, 1979. At that time, you will assume the responsibilities of an Operator III subject to District review. 4.

Background: Zaragosa Soliz has been an employee of the District for over two years. During this time, his attendance, his job performance, and his work habits have been a large problem for his supervisors. Background information has been compiled which clearly indicates that Mr. Soliz, working in any posi- tion, will not perform to the District's standards. Recommendation: In accordance with the District's code and in its best interest, it is recommended that Mr. So)iz be suspended effective June 8, 1979 with a termination date effective June 21, 1979.

BACKGROUND: Certain Treatment Plant process engineering responsibilities have been assigned to the Special Projects Engineering Division which require the services of an additional engineer in this Division. The additional project responsibilities include assisting the Plant Operations Department in process optimization and procedures for each of the unit processes. The Treatment Plant Department has a position of Engineering Associate R77 which has been used for this purpose. The most recent incumbent of this position, Mr. Bruce Ford, resigned in April 1979. This action would transfer the position of Engineering Associate R77 from the Treatment Plant Department to the Special Projects Division of the Engineering Department and reclassify it to the Assistant Engineering R72 position. The level of experience and responsibility is appropriate considering the work assignments and the degree of supervision available.

Dolan, General Manager -Chief Engineer SUBJECT: REQUEST RESOLUTION ESTABLISHING ON-CALL STANDBY COMPENSATION AT 9 HOURS PER EMPLOYEE'S OVERTIME RATE ISSUE: This request is to change the current standby compensation from seven T7 - -hours straight time pay per seven (7) day period to nine (9) hours at overtime rates. BACKGROUND: Compensation for on-call standby time was authorized by the District in October, 1957. The original payment was a guarantee of 3 hours overtime pay for the on-call period. In June, 1958, this was changed to 4 hours straight time pay, and in July, 1969, it was again adjusted to 7 hours straight time. This rate is presently in effect. Qualified personnel of the C.S.O. Department excluding supervisory staff are assigned to "on-call" for a period of 7 days. The duty consists of the employee standing by, being available for emergency maintenance work during that part of each day including Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays when regular working hours are not in effect. In 1978, on-call crews responded to 278 requests for emergency work that took 628 hours to service. We have surveyed 9 Bay Area agencies as to their on-call standby payment practice. Compensation for standby time ranged from zero (0) at San Pablo Sanitary District to $160.00 at Santa Clara Sanitary District IV. (See Standby Compensation Comparison) C.S.O. Department personnel have proposed that standby compensation be in the amount of i h -,o ur of pay at each employee's overtime pay rate for weekdays, and 2 hours at overtime rates for weekends and holidays. I have estimated this year's standby cost to be $6,581.12. If the increase in proposed compensation is accepted, the standby costs will go to approximately $12,692.16, an increase of $6,111.04 over last year. This represents an increase on department payroll of only 0.58%. RECOMMENDATION: Approve request establishing on-call standby compensation at 9 hours per employee's overtime rate.

BACKGROUND: A hearing strictly on the question of collection of EQC with county taxes is a legal formality with little controversy, but if the hearing includes the question of rate -setting and the basis for the EQC, public input can be quite varied and useful. Furthermore, such a hearing can be an excellent vehicle to inform the public of the activities, problems, and solutions of the District. The hearing date can be as early as June 7th or as late as July 5th. The earlier date would allow continuance if desired. Respectfully submitted, 6'j W. C.

OB 5 5/10/ May 3, 1979 MEMORANDUM TO: THE HONORABLE MEMBERS OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS VIA: Roger J. Dolan, General Manager -Chief Engineer SUBJECT: DETERMINATION OF EQC RATE FOR 1979-80 ISSUE: Our budgetary process requires that O & M expenditures and revenues be determined and fixed concurrently. Each has a number of variables but they share the effects of inflation. This EQC rate study uses a range of 10% to 14% for inflation and District growth. BACKGROUND: A projection of expenditures and revenues for the next three years was deemed essential to judge the effect of fixing the 1979-80 rate at certain levels. Attached is a chart of projected expenditures and revenues through 1981-82 with emphasis on the anticipated range of inflation and growth rates, and the choices available with or without use of EQC reserves. Also attached are two graphs which illustrate the trends and choices. A basic change between this study and the earlier presentation is the higher projected total for next year's budget. This has the effect of eliminating the choices of continuing the present rate, or staying within the 7% Presidential Guidelines. If the projected budget total cannot be reduced substantially, the only resource available for rate reduction would be borrowing from the Sewer Construction Fund after utilizing the EQC sinking fund. RECOMMENDATION: Select a combined rate of inflation and growth, a level of reserves to be maintained and decide if further study is needed. Respectfully submitted, W. C.

NB 7 4/19/79 April 18, 1979 MEMORANDUM TO: THE HONORABLE MEMBERS OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS VIA: Roger J. Dolan, General Manager -Chief Engineer SUBJECT: DISCUSSION OF ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY CHARGE REBATE FOR THE 1979-80 FISCAL YEAR ISSUE: The increase in the EQC rate necessary to meet Federal requirements CFR 40-35.929-2 (b) (2), which state that the charges for users shall generate sufficient revenue to pay the total operation and maintenance costs of the system, is more of a policy issue this year than a rate determination by budget process. BACKGROUND: The current financial plan indicates that to reach a.f iscal year balance, we need to raise about $2,000,000 more in 1979-80 EQC charges than in the current fiscal year, and that the base rate would be $96.00 per unit as compared to the present $78.00. With careful budgeting, some carry over of 78-79 RE funds, and a return of previous transfers from Running Expense to Sewer Construction Fund, we can reduce the need for an increase in EQC. The constraints of Proposition 13 and the Presidential Wage & Price guidelines may, in any event, limit the amount of any EQC increase. Attached is a tabulation of EQC factors and projections as related to 0 & M budgets. RECOMMENDATION: Schedule an early decision on the EQC rate for 1979-80 to permit staff to set a hearing date and to begin billing work. Respectfully submitted, W. C.

The additional monthly premium shown below was calculated on the number of females in the child bearing age and then further refined and applied to all the employees and their dependents. Included in these rates are vasectomy benefits. Voluntary termination of preg- nancy is not included. Additional monthly premium for maternity and obstetrical care: ADDITIONAL ADDITIONAL TWO OR EMPLOYEE ONE DEPENDENT MORE DEPENDENTS (+)$.64 W $2.25 (+) $2.25 RECOMMENDATION: Adopt a resolution to increase obstetrical care coverage provided by Blue Shield so that it is treated in the same manner as any other illness, for employees and their dependents, effective April 1, 1979.
