ISSUE: The District Code and state law require that a public hearing must be held to
receive public comment on any proposed increases to Environmental and
Development-Related Rates and Charges and Capacity Fees. Additionally, the District
Code requires that a public hearing be held prior to Board consideration of revisions to
the District Code.
BACKGROUND:
Environmental and Development-Related Rates and Charges
Chapter 6.30 of the District Code authorizes certain rates and charges for environmental
and development-related services provided to property owners, contractors, developers,
septic and grease waste haulers, and permitted industrial users. These services include
permit counter assistance; plan review; construction inspection for private side sewers and
public main line extensions; addition of new sewers, parcels, and permit information to
District maps; administration of source control permits and inspections; and septic and
grease hauler permitting, sampling and treatment. District Code allows for periodic review
of these fees and charges to ensure the District is accurately recovering its costs to
provide these environmental and development-related services.
Based on its most recent review, District staff is recommending that the Environmental
and Development-Related Rates and Charges be revised effective July 1, 2016 to include:
1) adjustment for changes in salaries, benefits and administrative overhead; and 2)
adjustment of the mileage rate for those charges that include a mileage factor. A
proposed uncodified ordinance incorporating these proposed fee changes is attached
(see Attachment 1). As detailed in the attached Report Regarding Environmental and

ADOPTING:
• AN UNCODIFIED ORDINANCE AMENDING THE SCHEDULE OF
ENVIRONMENTAL RATES AND CHARGES
• AN UNCODIFIED ORDINANCE AMENDING CAPACITY FEES
• A CODIFIED ORDINANCE AMENDING DISTRICT CODE
RELATING TO ENVIRONMENTAL AND DEVELOPMENT-RELATED
RATES AND CHARGES
Development Rates and Charges Update (see Attachment 2), most of the fees have
proposed increases between 4.2% and 7.3%, reflecting increases in District labor costs
and administrative overhead and a slight decrease in mileage costs. The average
increase of these fees is 6.5%.
Capacity Fees
The District charges a capacity fee when properties are first connected to its public
sewer or when there is an expansion or change of use for non-residential properties.
Each year this fee is updated based on changes to the value of District assets and the
number of customers in the District. California Senate Bill 1760, enacted in September
1998, defines Capacity Charges for water and sewer agencies in Section 66013 of the
California Government Code. The equity buy-in method used by the District conforms to
the requirements contained in Section 66013.
District Code Chapter 6.12.080 allows for capacity fees to be set to ensure adequate
funding of all needed upgrades, replacements, renovations, and improvements of
existing District wastewater facilities. A proposed uncodified ordinance to establish the
"Schedule of Capacity Fees, Rates and Charges" effective July 1, 2016 is attached (see
Attachment 3) and the proposed fees are shown in the table below:
Fee Category Current Proposed % Change
Gravity Zone Fee $6,005 per RUE $5,948 per RUE -0.9%
Pumped Zone Fee $7,655 per RUE $7,556 per RUE -1.2%
As detailed in the attached Report Regarding the Capacity Fee Update (see
Attachment 4), the proposed fees are lower than at present.
District Code Update
District Code Chapter 6.30 makes reference to a "Schedule of Environmental and
Development-Related Rates and Charges". To avoid confusion with sewer service
rates, staff recommends amending District Code Chapter 6.30 to retitle the schedule to
"Schedule of Environmental and Development Fees and Charges" and replacing the
word "rates" with "fees" in other portions of the chapter, effective July 1, 2016.

POSITION PAPER
Board Meeting Date: June 2, 2016
Subject: CONDUCT A PUBLIC HEARING TO RECEIVE PUBLIC COMMENT ON
ADOPTING:
• AN UNCODIFIED ORDINANCE AMENDING THE SCHEDULE OF
ENVIRONMENTAL RATES AND CHARGES
• AN UNCODIFIED ORDINANCE AMENDING CAPACITY FEES
• A CODIFIED ORDINANCE AMENDING DISTRICT CODE
RELATING TO ENVIRONMENTAL AND DEVELOPMENT-RELATED
RATES AND CHARGES
A strikeout of the proposed changes to District Code Chapter 6.30 is included as
Attachment 5, and the proposed ordinance is included as Attachment 6.
Should this District Code update be approved at the June 2, 2016 hearing, the changes
will go into effect July 1, 2016, and the Schedule of Environmental and Development-
Related Rates and Charges will be retitled accordingly as of July 1, 2016.
ALTERNATIVES/CONSIDERATIONS: The Board may decline to increase some or all
of the proposed Environmental and Development-Related Rates and Charges. In this
event, the fees that went into effect on July 1, 2015 would continue. This is not
recommended as the District would not fully recover costs expended in providing the
corresponding environmental and development-related services.
The Board may decline to adjust the Schedule of Capacity Fees. In this event, the fees
that went into effect on July 1, 2015 would continue. This is not recommended as
capacity fees would not accurately reflect the value of each parcel's share of the
District's assets.
The Board of Directors may decline to revise District Code Chapter 6.30, in which case
the titling of the Environmental and Development-Related Rates and Charges would
remain as is.
FINANCIAL IMPACTS: The proposed Environmental and Development-Related Rates
and Charges are designed to recover the District's direct and indirect labor costs, other
operating costs, and administrative overhead costs incurred in providing environmental
and development-related services. If the recommended Environmental and
Development-related rates are adopted, staff estimates that approximately $100,000 in
additional revenue will be generated in Fiscal Year (FY) 2016-17.
If the recommended Capacity Fees are adopted, staff estimates that approximately
$60,000 less revenue will be generated in FY 2016-17.
No financial impact is anticipated if the change to District Code Chapter 6.30 is
approved.

COMMUNITY OUTREACH: Staff conducted a coordinated outreach program to inform
and solicit input from interested customers regarding the proposed Environmental and
Development-Related Rates and Charges and the proposed Capacity Fees. Notices of
the public hearing were posted and published in the Contra Costa Times and San
Ramon Valley Times. In addition, approximately 540 letter reports including the
proposed schedules of rates and charges were distributed to developers, engineers,
architects, contractors, and representatives of the Home Builders Association of
Northern California, the Engineering and Utilities Contractors' Association, the
Associated Building Contractors Golden Gate Chapter, and others who have requested
notice of fee increase proposals.
As of Friday, May 27, 2016 no comments about the proposed changes in fees have
been received.
COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION: The Finance Committee reviewed the proposals
at its April 22, 2016 meeting and recommended approval.
RECOMMENDED BOARD ACTION: Once the public hearing has been conducted:
1. Adopt the proposed uncodified ordinance revising the Schedule of
Environmental and Development-Related Rates and Charges effective July 1,
2016, including the following findings:
a. The District incurs substantial costs to provide environmental and
development services.
b. It is necessary to charge customers and other users to recover the
reasonable cost of providing the services.
C. The proposed fees and charges reasonably represent the actual District
costs to provide the services.
d. The proposed fees and charges are exempt from the California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).

2. Adopt the proposed uncodified ordinance revising the Capacity Fee schedule
effective July 1, 2016, including the following findings:
a. The District has made a substantial investment in assets that will benefit
new users.
b. The purpose of the Capacity Fee Program is to equalize the investment in
District assets among current and new users, thus ensuring that new
users pay their fair share for facilities and other assets.
C. There is a strong and reasonable relationship between the actual added
burden imposed by new users and the proposed Capacity Fee.
d. The current Sewer Construction Fund balance and future Capacity Fee
revenue will be allocated to:
• Life-cycle replacement, renovation, upgrading and improvements to
maintain existing capacity in District facilities;
• Addition to and expansion of facilities when needed or required to
meet legal and regulatory requirements;
• Equitable adjustment of contributions among current, new and
contractual users;

balances in the:
- Sewer Construction Fund
- Running Expense Fund
- Debt Service Fund
- Self-Insurance Fund
e. For the District to continue an adequate level of service to all users,
maintenance of existing facilities capacity and construction of additional
facilities capacity in the future is required.
f. The proposed Capacity Fees are exempt from CEQA.

(13-5) INSPECTION CHARGES FOR NEW CONNECTIONS (Informational Only)
The following fees have been in effective since July 1, 2014. This information is to clarify how fees are
applied and charged for new connections. This procedure coincides with the 2014 Update to the CCCSD
Standard Specifications.
Current procedure at the Permit Counter is to collect all connection and inspection fees for new construction
when a structure's roof is on and the rough plumbing is installed ("Roof and Rough"). Under the new
procedure, a developer can choose to:
1. Connect at Roof and Rough, or
2. Connect at building foundation following the procedures outlined in the 2014 Edition of the Standard
Specifications.
For either scenario, connection fees will be due and payable prior to permit issuance (consistent with CCCSD
Standard Specifications Ed. 2011; Section 3-07 Payment of Fees and Charges.)
The changes affect Category(B) Construction Inspection Section (13-2) and are shown below:
Residential Connections (up to and including four units) at Roof and Rough:
This fee is for inspection of new residential units connecting to CCCSD's mainline after
the structure's roof is on and the rough plumbing has been installed. This fee $448 per unit
includes: one building connection inspection and one side sewer inspection (up to 100
feet). Additional inspections and related fees may be required.
Residential Connections (up to and including four units) at building foundation:
This fee is for inspection of new residential units connecting to CCCSD's mainline prior
to structure being roofed and rough plumbing being installed. This fee includes: one $896 per unit
building connection inspection, one side sewer inspection (up to 100 feet), and two
additional inspections as required per CCCSD Standard Specifications. Additional
inspections and related fees may be required.
Commercial/Multiple Residential Connections (more than four units) at Roof and
Rough: This fee is for inspection of new commercial or multiple residential units
connecting to CCCSD's mainline after structure's roof is on and the rough plumbing $448 per unit
has been installed. This fee includes: one building connection inspection and one side
sewer inspection (up to 100 feet). Additional inspections and related fees may be
required.
Commercial/Multiple Residential Connections (more than four units)at building
foundation: This fee is for inspection of new commercial or multiple residential units
connecting to CCCSD's mainline prior to structure being roofed and rough plumbing
being installed. This fee includes: one building connection inspection, one side sewer $1120 per unit
inspection (up to 100 feet), one pre-construction meeting, and two additional
inspections as required per CCCSD Standard Specifications. Additional inspections

Report Regarding
Environmental and Development Fees and Charges Update
April 15, 2016
OVERVIEW
The Central Contra Costa Sanitary District (District) Board of Directors will soon consider
adopting an ordinance to revise Chapter 6.30, Schedule of Fees and Charges, for various
environmental and development services.
BACKGROUND
Chapter 6.30 of the District Code includes a schedule of fees and charges for
environmental and development services provided to property owners, contractors,
developers, septic and grease waste haulers, and permitted industrial users. These
services include permitting; plan review; inspection of construction for side sewers and
main line extensions; addition of new sewers, parcels, and permit information to District
maps; source control permits and inspections; and septic and grease hauler sampling and
treatment.
These fees and charges are intended to recover the District's direct and indirect labor
costs, other operating expenses, and administrative overhead incurred in providing the
services. The last update to these fees was on June 4, 2015. District staff reviews the
fees and costs to provide services annually to assess whether changes are appropriate.
The State of California mandates that fees and charges not exceed the cost of providing
the service for which a fee or charge is levied.
PROPOSED FEES AND CHARGES
Table 1 presents a comparison of the current and proposed fees and charges.
For FY 2016-17, staff is recommending changes to the Schedule of Fees and Charges
based on:
• Recovering the cost for the service provided, taking into consideration relevant
operating costs, including current labor costs and updated mileage costs.
• Any changes in procedures and staff assignments to performing the various
services.
Fee Increases
Two fees, the Grease Variance Review fee and the Private Pumping System Plan Check
Report Regarding Environmental and Development Fees & Charges
Page 2
April 15, 2016
fee, have proposed increases of 11.1%. These increases are proposed based on minor
updates to the staff time, staff labor cost, and mileage expense needed to accurately
reflect the District's costs to provide the corresponding services.
The Alhambra Valley Contractual Assessment District (AVAD) and St. Mary's Road
Contractual Assessment District multipliers have proposed increases of 0.269% which
reflect the latest State of California Pooled Money Investment Account (PMIA) annual
yield. The use of PMIA for these fee multipliers was specified at the time the fees were
established.
The remaining fees with changes have proposed increases between 4.2% and 7.3%
reflecting increases in District labor costs and administrative overhead and a slight
decrease in mileage costs. The average increase of these fees is 6.5%. Variations in the
number of labor hours, overtime hours, and mileage used as the basis for each fee are
the source of the variability in the proposed increases.
New Fee
One new fee, the Source Control Enforcement Review and Inspection fee, is proposed.
Periodically, District Source Control inspectors discover violations while conducting
inspections of currently-permitted businesses. This fee will cover the administrative
review and re-inspection of corrections needed to remedy these violations.
ALTERNATIVES
The Board of Directors may decline to increase some or all of the proposed fees and
charges. In this event, the fees that went into effect in July 2015 would continue.
SUMMARY
If the proposed revisions to the Environmental and Development-related Fees and
Charges are adopted 21 charges will remain unchanged, 66 charges will increase, and
one new fee will be added. Staff estimates that increased revenue in the categories
where increases to charges are recommended will be modest.

ORDINANCE NO.
AN ORDINANCE OF THE
CENTRAL CONTRA COSTA SANITARY DISTRICT
ADOPTING AN UNCODIFIED
SCHEDULE OF CAPACITY FEES, RATES AND CHARGES
IN ACCORDANCE WITH DISTRICT CODE CHAPTER 6.12
WHEREAS, the Board of Directors (Board) of the Central Contra Costa Sanitary District
(District) finds that substantial study has been conducted regarding the impacts of
planned future development within the District's service area on existing District
services and facilities, along with an analysis of new, improved, or expanded District
facilities and services required or appropriate to serve new users and current users who
change the use of their connected buildings and facilities, and said studies have set
forth the relationship between the added burden imposed by such users, and the need
for an estimated cost of District services and facilities occasioned by this added burden;
and
WHEREAS, these studies were undertaken by District staff and culminated in
documents that are part of the public record, to wit: the Capital Improvement Budget
and Ten-year Capital Improvement Plan contained in the draft Central Contra Costa
Sanitary District FY 2016-17 Budget, and the Staff Report on Proposed Capacity Fee
Program dated April 15, 2016; and
WHEREAS, it is reasonable and necessary that all users of the District's wastewater
and household hazardous waste collection, treatment, recycling, reuse and disposal
services and facilities, including those temporary users served under Special Discharge
Permits, contribute their appropriate portion of the funding for such District services and
facilities; and
WHEREAS, a properly noticed public hearing regarding the proposed Capacity Fee
Program revisions was held on June 2, 2016, and proper notice was also given of the
availability of the documents noted above for public inspection and review prior to said
public hearing; and
WHEREAS, Chapter 6.12 of the District Code provides the enabling authority for the
District to implement the proposed uncodified Schedule of Capacity Fees, Rates and
Charges; and
WHEREAS, the Board finds as follows:
1. The District has made a substantial investment in assets that will benefit new
users.
2. For the District to continue an adequate level of service to all users, maintenance
of existing facilities capacity and construction of additional facilities capacity in
the future is required.
3. The purpose of the Capacity Fee Program is to equalize the investment in District
assets among current and new users, thus ensuring that new users pay their fair
share for facilities capacity and services.
Ordinance No.
Page 2 of 3
Central Contra Costa Sanitary District
4. The current Sewer Construction Fund balance and future Capacity Fee revenue
will be allocated to:
• Life-cycle replacement, renovation, upgrading and improvements to maintain
existing capacity in District facilities;
• Addition to and expansion of facilities where needed or required to meet legal
and regulatory requirements;
• Equitable adjustment of contributions among current, new and contractual users;
• New users' buy-in-to-all-assets of the District including facilities and the balances
in the:
- Sewer Construction Fund
- Running Expense Fund
- Debt Service Fund
- Self-Insurance Fund
5. There is a strong and reasonable relationship between the actual added burden
imposed by new users and the proposed Capacity Fees, Rates and Charges.
6. The proposed fees, rates and charges are exempt from the California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) per section 6.12.020 of the District Code.
NOW, THEREFORE, the Board of Directors of the Central Contra Costa Sanitary
District does ordain as follows:
Section 1 (To be Uncodified)

As of the effective date of this Ordinance, Capacity Fees shall be charged at such rates
and for such categories of users as set forth in said Schedule, and shall remain in effect
until amended or replaced by ordinance.
Section 2
All ordinances and parts of ordinances in conflict with the provisions of this Ordinance
are repealed. The provisions of this Ordinance, insofar as they are substantially the
same as existing provisions relating to the same subject matter shall be construed as
restatements and continuations thereof and not as new enactments. To the extent this
Ordinance or any portion or section of this Ordinance is determined invalid or
unconstitutional, such portions of Ordinance No. 288 shall remain in effect and such
rates and charges due thereunder for any categories of users shall remain due and
payable as if those portions of Ordinance No. 288 had not been repealed.
With respect, however, to violations, rights accrued, liabilities accrued, or appeals taken,
prior to the effective date of this Ordinance, under any chapter, ordinance, or part of an
ordinance, such chapter, ordinance or part of an ordinance shall be deemed to remain
in full force for the purpose of sustaining any proper suit, action, or other proceedings,
with respect to any such violation, right, liability or appeal.

CENTRAL CONTRA COSTA SANITARY DISTRICT
Report Regarding the Capacity Fee Update
April 15, 2016
INTRODUCTION
Central Contra Costa Sanitary District (CCCSD) charges a Capacity Fee when
properties are first connected to our public sewer or when there is an expansion or
change of use for non-residential properties. Each year this fee is updated based on
changes to the value of our assets and the number of customers in the district. This
memo summarizes the basis for the Capacity Fee and presents the calculations for the
updated fee.
BACKGROUND
The total value of CCCSD's existing assets (approximately $1.7 billion) is much greater
than the value of any future facilities expansion needed to accommodate future
customers. While CCCSD's FY 2015-16 Capital Improvement Plan lists over $400
million in projects over the next ten years, most of these projects are for renovation,
regulatory compliance, replacement or upgrading of facilities to maintain capacity for
both current and prospective customers. CCCSD believes that our facilities generally
have adequate capacity to serve both existing and future customers.
The Water Environment Federation's (WEF) Manual of Practice 27, Financing and
Charges for Wastewater Systems defines several methods for calculating System
Development Charges such as CCCSD's Capacity Fee. CCCSD uses the Equity
Buy-in method and has used this methodology since 2001. Under this approach, new
customers are charged at the same equity position as existing customers which is
appropriate based on the level of assets, expansion, and capacity described above.
California Senate Bill 1760, enacted in September 1998, defines Capacity Charges for
water and sewer agencies in Section 66013 of the California Government Code. The
equity buy-in method defined by WEF and used by CCCSD conforms to the
requirements contained in Section 66013.
CALCULATION APPROACH
The Capacity Fee is adjusted each year to reflect the changes in the value of CCCCD's
assets. It is calculated using the equity buy-in approach which divides the value of
CCCSD's assets by the current number of RUEs to determine the fee. The calculated
value of CCCSD assets are determined as follows:
• Land: The current value of investments in real property is estimated based on the
opportunity value of like cash investments deposited in CCCSD's temporary
investments at the time of each purchase and held at interest to the present,
rather than by attempting to determine actual market value.
Capacity Fee Update Report
Page 2
April 15, 2016
• Facilities: The current value of investments in physical facilities is estimated by
escalating each year's facilities expenditures based on the change in the
Engineering News Record Construction Cost Index for the San Francisco Bay
Area (ENR CCI-SF) and then applying straight-line depreciation using the life
cycles in Table 3 with no salvage value.
Note that a category for "Mains (Renovation Program)" is included in the current
value of facilities for determination of Capacity Fees. This category accounts for
CCCSD's significant investment since 1988 in life-cycle replacement and
renovation of sewers 10-inches in diameter and smaller. This work renews
capacity in these smaller sewers for the benefit of both existing and new
connectors and reduces future maintenance costs.
• Fund Balances: Prior fiscal year ending balances for the Sewer Construction,
Running Expense, Debt Service and Self Insurance Funds are used. The Sewer
Construction Fund Balance is reduced by the principal value of CCCSD's
outstanding debt.
Contributed assets are generally not included in the calculation in order to avoid double
recovery of costs, as described in the WEF manual.
After estimating the current value for an asset category, the component of the Capacity
Fee attributable to that category is calculated by dividing current value by the current
number of customers as shown below. The number of customers is determines by
calculating the number of Residential Unit Equivalents (RUEs).

RECOMMENDED CAPACITY FEE
Staff recommends that the Board adopt Capacity Fees for the 2016-17 fiscal year by
applying the valuation approach and facilities life cycles described above. The updated
fees are:
Fee Category Current Proposed % Change
Gravity Service $6,005 per RUE $5,948 per RUE -0.9%
Pumping Service $7,655 per RUE $7,556 per RUE -1.2%
The recommended fee calculation approach is a rational, practical, equitable and
