Horstkotte, Jr., General Manager -Chief Engineer SUBJECT: Supplemental Agenda item - Property exchange with Flood Control District (FCD. letter of January 19, 1971) 1. PROBLEM: To establish a common compatible property line along Grayson Creek with the Flood Control District, 2 BACKGROUND For several years, our plant improvements and land acqui- _________ sition, and the Flood Control District's improvement of Grayson Creek have required adjustments of survey and property lines. Some of these adjust- ments have been attenuated due to survey difficulties and we have proceeded without formal documentation, 3. DISCUSSION: It is necessary to formally establish legal property lines because survey controls now seem adequate, and both Districts are engaged in long range planning of future facilities, Should later changes occur, we need a new base of recorded documents to work from. Staffs are in agree- ment that the present adjustment is a proper procedure at this time, 4, RECOMMENDATION: Authorize execution of the "Agreement and Right of Way Contract" and "Grant Deed".

PROBLEM Mr. Peter Favro, Favro Construction, Inc., 3471 Quigley Street, Oakland, California objects to a determination by the staff that a sewerage system designed by Favro Construction for coniAection to the District system is considered inadegpate by District standards. 2 BACKGROUNDMr. Favro contacted the District on 19 January 1971, Mr. Favro stated that Favro Construction, a land development corporation, plans to build a multiple dwelling at Ascot Drive, Rheem Valley (Lot #19, Subdivision 3051), Mr. Favro stated that the firm plans to sell the dwelling as a seven unit condominium. To serve the two proposed multiple dwellings, Mr. Favro stated his design is for a single 6 line which would be connected to the District system, with two four inch lines under the buildings serving the seven units. 3. DISCUSSION Mr. Favro discussed his proposed sewerage design at some lengths with the staff. It was pointed out to Mr. Favro that in the event the dwelling is sold as a condominium, ownership of the property would presumeably be vested in seven individuals. In this event, the single 6" sewerage line would be inadequate in accordance with the District code which sets District standards and the policy established by the Board for multiple type dwellings, Paramount to the problem is the question of maintenance of the dwelling's sewerage system when multiple ownership is involved. Under Favro's proposal, the buyers of the condominium would be the reCpients of a limited sewerage system, difficult to allocate maintenance cost and responsibilities, but would still be taxed by the District as a single residential dwelling. This would grossly be unfair to the buyers. 40 RECOMMENDATIONS a. The Board authorize Mr. Favro to address the Members. b. Mr. Favro's proposed sewerage system be denied based on prior staff review, aespectfully submittedg (1) (011 G. A. Horstkotte, General Manager -Chief Eq0neer GAR j v BOARD OF DIRECTORS CHARLES J.

Horstkotte, Jro, General Manager -Chief Engineer SUBJECT: Multiple Dwelling Deficiency Fund la The staff was directed to tabulate the status of the multiple dwelling deficiency fund for Board reference. 2. This fund and the surcharges on multiple dwellings were established by Ordinance 44 in 1960 after a management study of problems caused by the increasing construction of apartment buildings in areas previously zoned and sewered for low-density uses. 3. The total collections of the charge (to December 1, 1970) amount to $176638.45. Following is a list of projects completed to correct these types of deficiencies and the cost of each. Ygnacio Valley Blvd. bypass (1961) Trinity Ave. replacement (1963) Carmel Drive replacement (1962) Total to date Planned Projects: $32,417.43 16,714,68 1_3 303061 $62,435072 Walnut Ave (Watershed 29N) (1971) $100,000.00 Note: This project is scheduled to follow trunk sewer construction (Job 1656) required of Scott and Ball in 1971. There are other pending projects in this category but these are less critical and can be postponed until the final balance after 1971 is fixed. WCD:ms Recommendation Approved: 4. G.

DAVIS Secretary MEMORANDUM FOR THE HONORABLE MEMBERS OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS VIA G. A. Horstkotte, Jr., General Manager --Chief Engineer SUBJECT: Commercial connection charges. PROBLEM: Financing new facilities in commercial areas where existing sewers have become deficient. BACKGROUND: Please refer to memorandum dated December 17, 1970. The questions about that memorandum related to established policy and examples of where the problem might occur. a The policy referred to in the memorandum was that established by Ordinance 44 in June, 1960 which established a multiple re- sidential connection surcharge based on number of units of use in a development or building. (See attached memorandum on status of deficiency fund). As a result of the management study, it was concluded that zoning densification and its ef- fect on the sewer system should be regarded as a District -wide problem best solved by an increased connection charge to finance needed system enlargements. b. The best example of a deficient commercial area is the North Main Street project now under way. We have an estimate of cost ($30,000,00) and have told the major developers that they will have to share heavily on this project. We antici- pate that in addition to the two ten story buildings (on 2.3 ac.) now proposed, other properties served by the old and new sewers will change from single story to multi -story buildings in a few years. We estimate that the connection charge for each 10 -story office building will be about $5,000.00. Under the proposed surcharge schedule, the two 10 -story buildings would pay $10,000.00 towards the deficiency project. There are ap- proximately 10 acres of other properties subject to multi- story redevelopment. When and in what manner these properties will change is impossible to predict, but land values and trends of urbanization dictate a much denser use of the 10 acres now on restricted commercial use. RECOMMENDATION: We repeat the recommendation of the December 17, 1970 memorandum and suggest that one deficiency fund be established comprising surcharges from both multi -storied commercial buildings and multi -unit residential.

The need for this was deemed necessary due to enlartgement of the Sanitary District into Martinez, as well as new installations in the San Ramon and Moraga areas. Although several sites seemed to have the necessary geographical requirements, none were accept able due to excessive development costs or fear of transmission interfer ence by property owners, 3, FACTS A. Up -grading our present system by instal:1,g a mobile relay station would allow longer distance car to car communications while alleviating the need for repeat transmissions by the Dispatcher or by trucks nearer the originating sender. B At the start of our search for a site, Mr, Angliss, knowing the shortage of power frequencies immediately made application to the SCUR and re- ceived what he believes to be the last remaining frequency available in this area (47,70). Generally, one year is given for installation of equipment, Recent correspondence from the Regional Chairman for the SCUR expressed the desire of several agencies to aquire this frequency n Lollar -ale Board of Directors n -2- 1/18/71 4 C0NCLUSI0N The'inost practical solution found is the retention of our Smith Hill site plus installation of new mobile relay ecui2ment at the Communications Center oa Glacier Drive off.the Arnold Industrial High- way, thereby enlarg:ng our area of communication to include the.pre- viously stated dead areas The estimated cos for for complete Installation would be approximately $4000.00. Total.recUrring charges would be $300000 through the current 7iscal year. Recouraiendation Approved 4, Go A. dOistkotfe,'Jr:( General Manager -Chief Engineer Res?ectfully submitted, 14:74' H.

Horstkotte, Jr., General Manager -Chief Engineer SUBJECT: Agenda Item - Public Hearing on Garden Trimmings • Pickup service, Diablo Valley Disposal Service Area. 1. PROBLEM: To determine whether the majority of the residents of the Diablo area desire the additional service which would increase the present rate from $2.30 per month to $3.00 on a mandatory basis. 2. BACKGROUND: At the Public Hearing on 17 December 1970, the Board determined that it received insufficient response from the residents of the Diablo area to permit the Board to make a decision on whether the proposed additional service was appropriate, even though public notice of the hearing was forwarded at request of the District to approximately 3,500 residents by Diablo Disposal Company. Accordingly, the ;card continued the Public Hearing to 21 January 1971 and directed the staff to contact appropriate homeowners associations in the area informing them of the Board's action. The Staff contacted four such groups, San Ramon Valley, Chamber of Commerce, Danville South Association, Greenbrook Homes Association and Sycamore Association, Additionally, the staff was contacted by local news media in the area and publication of the proposed additional service and rate increase appeared in The Valley Pioneer" on 13 January 1971. 3.

Additionally, among those opposed, several letters indicated the resident solved his garden trimmings by compost and thought that this was a better solution for ecology. Unless there is a sudden increase in correspondence from residents indicating their prefetence or unless a large group of residents appear at the 21 January hearing, the Board will still lack conclusive evidence of what the majority of residents desire, 5 CONCLUSIONS a The problem of garden trimmings does exist for the majority of residents in the lJiablo area. Residents solve the problem currently by ordering additional pickup service at a higher rate than the one being pro?osed or by compost. b. Residents not having a garden tidmr.i.ngs problen object to additional service being made mandatory at an increased rate. c.

Frederick Lc Schaffer of the University of California (Berheiey) to conduct a one year program at the water renovation project to study virus removal. 2. BACKGROUND g Dr, Cooper forwarded a letter on 17 December 1970, to the Board of Directors of both the Sanitary District and Contra Costa County Water District proposing a one year virus removal pro- gram to be conducted at the Water Renovation Project. The propcsed virus study would cost an estimated W,364.00 and would involve the US2 of the pilot plant to obtain necessary samples of effluent. To finance the program each District would contribute a2proximately $79500.00 and Bechtel Corporation.$5,000.00 (already agreed to by Bechtel). The proposed virus program is narked preliminary as the University of California at Berkeley has not yet officially endorsed the pro'lect. A meeting between Dr. Cooper, Mr, B J. MIller, Bechtel Cor:pora- tion, r. John Nelson, Water District, Mr. G. A. Horstkotte, and David Niles, was hold on 4 January -1971 to discuss the virus program. Subsequently, on 13 January in Sacramento, W. Horstkotte, Mr o Nelson and Mr, Clark Weddel of,Bechtel Corporation, discussed the proposed virus study with officials of the Department of Water Resources and State Health Department; 3. DISCUSSION At prasent, limited information is available on the virus remcval capability of various water renovation processes. The lack of this Information is a prime deterrent to the Public Health authori- ties f_n establishing appropriate standards for the poss!_bla recycling of wastewater for use by the puialic. This point was raised at the State Water Resources Control Board and San Francisco Bay Regional Water quality Control Board meeting in San Jose on 11 December attended by members of the staff. The pilct plant program will test the effective aess of dlffereut types of water treatmnt processes on different grades of effluant. The virus removal study as proposed would complement this program, AdditionallY, both Districts would have ?erhaps the first factual report with advanced methodology ;repared by recognized com2etent personnel on a matter whiCh is of vital concern to the Districts and the pub,lic and WhiCh may -1.ave an Impact on the establishmert of standards by Public Health authorities.
