regarding check #103370 dated May 18, 2017 in the amount of$2,551.06 to

Chair Nejedly expressed his preference that blanket contracts be awarded to

4. Items for Committee Recommendation to Board
a. Review draft Position Paper regarding August 3, 2017 hearing to consider
Mr. Charles Burkhardt's appeal of staff decision to deny reimbursement of
fees for 2 Hilferd Way, Danville.
This item was taken out of order immediately following Item 2.
Mr. Brightbill, referring to the information in the agenda materials, reviewed
the history and current situation that lead to the decision to deny
Mr. Burkhardt a reimbursement for that property. He stated that staff had no
option but to deny the request, adding that District Counsel advised him the
Board has the final decision on the appeal.
Mr. Burkhardt answered Chair Nejedly's questions regarding the properties
relating to this matter. Mr. Burkhardt, referring to the letters and map
establishing the properties eligible for reimbursements included in the agenda
materials, explained that he believes changes made in the District Code after
1998 do not null his entitlement to reimbursement. Mr. Burkhardt referred to
sections 1.04.030 and 6.20 of the District Code, stating he believes those
sections protect his right to receive reimbursements even if a reimbursement
fee was not collected on the property.
Chair Nejedly thanked Mr. Burkhardt for presenting the information and
advised that his appeal will be taken to the full Board on August 3, 2017.
Mr. Burkhardt thanked staff and the Committee for hearing his request and
left the meeting.
Member Pilecki commented that perhaps the Board may want to consider
assigning ministerial authority to the General Manager to handle issues of
this type in the future to some agreed upon limit.
COMMITTEE ACTION: Reviewed the matter.
