OLD BUSINESS Kt )WN ANI) cALDWELL REPORT Mr. Horstkotte, General Manager -Chief hngineer, reviewed for Board Members progressive actions taken in the development of the treatment plant expansion program and water reclamation facilities. 1ic indicated that, because regulatory requirements had not remained static, it had been necessary to progressively revise District planning and report sub- mittals in order to satisfy subsequent newer Lequirements. Mr. Horstkotte etated the District had State approval to submit its final plans and speci- fications for the treatment plant expansion program and water reclamation facilities by October 1, 1972, vice May 1, 1972. As previously requested, Mr. Horstkotte noted that Board Members had received a copy of a financial report by Brown and Caldwell indicating current status of engineering ser- vices in connection with design, consrrucrJon and enlargements of the waste water treatment plant. After introduction by Mr. Horstkotte, Dr. David Caldwell, Brown and Caldwell, introduced his associates in the audience and their area of re- sponsibility for the design of the proposed new treatment plant facilities. Dr. Caldwell, utilizing a wall chart, indicated that b=tsic outward design of the new plant, and its flow processes, were basically unchanged from that previously submitted to the State regulatory agency. He then explained in detail various aspects of the plant design, including methods for sludge handling. In response to query by Member Mitchell, Or. Caldwell indicated that operations of the Advance Test Treatment Facility had made a number of positive contributions to the design of the new plant, particularly insofar as internal operations of the new plant were concerned. Dr. Caldwell then outlined in detail the manner and scope of operations the ATTF had contributed to the design of the new plant. Interspersed throughout Dr. Caldwell's comments, Board. Members posed questions and discussed various aspects of the plant design. Dr. Caldwell stated current plant design does permit a degree of flexi- bility for future handling of sludge but that the District would be com- mitted to: Lime feeding; biological nitrification; and biological deni- trification. Dr. Caldwell explained to Board Members a research project that Brown and Caldwell had under consideration regarding incineration and recalci- ilea-don of lime, and which could have impact on the design for the District's new treatment plant. Dr. Caldwell indicated representatives from the Environ- mental Protection Agency had expressed interest in funding 75 percent of such a project with District participation limited to 25 percent "in kind" funding. After discussion by Board Members, staff and Dr_ Caldwell, it was the consensus of the Board that Dr. Caldwell be authorized to prepare an application for federal funding of the research project with sponsorship to be by the Sanitary District. In addition, Dr. Caldwell was to prepare an estimate of approximate cost for the research project for submission to the Board Members at the meeting of June 1, 1972. After introduction by Dr. Caldwell, Mr. Mike Flanagan of Brown and Caldwell, explained various aspects and responded to questions on the pro- posed multiplex control system designed for nenew treatment plant facilities. 2 MI. Flanagan presented Board Members with a copy of report he had prepared on multiplex eontrol system and the matter was discussed'in some detail. BECHTEL CORPORATION REPORT Mr. Horstkotte, General Manager -Chief Engineer, noted that Board Members had received a ropy of a financial and work progress report from Bechtel Cor- poration regarding the waste water reclamation project. Board Members, staff and Dr. Clark Weddle of Bechtel CoLporation, discussed at length various aspects of the Bechtel report. Dr. Weddle noted that under provisions of the "Agree- ment for Engineering and Coustruetion Management Services", signed on December 7, 1971, by Bechtel Corpoiation and the Sanitary District, Bechtel Corporation had completed 27 percont of the preliminary engineering and final design work at a monetaTy cot of approximately 31-32 percent of the estimated total cost for the project. Board Members, staff and Dr. Weddle discussed the Board's previous decision to limit Bechtel Corporation work under the December 7, 1971, contract to 3O percent and its relationship to theDistricts Environmental Impact State- ment which now requires •revision. Mr. Horstkotte explained that the original impact statement was prepared from data now obsolete and then indicated the specific areas where revision was necessary. Mr. Horstkotte explained that State certification of the Districts proposed treatinent expansion program was contingent upon approval of a revised environmental impact statement. A general discussion followed with Dr. Weddle indicating that weekly cost for Bechtel Corporation to continue present operations under terms of its December, 1971, contract would amount to approximately $10,000.00. After further dis- cussion and indication that certification of the District's project may be forthcoming by. June 15, 1971, it was moved by Member Mitchell, seconded by Member- Boneysteele, that authorization be given for Bechtel Corporation to extend its preliminary engineering and final desi.gli work to a maximum of 40 percent under terms of the December 7, 1971, cuntree't_ Carried by the following vote: AYES: Members: Boneysteele, Gibbs, 4itche11, Rustigian arid Allan NOES; Members: None ABSENT: Members: None • Member Mitchell asked that Bechtel Co/poration representatives monitor closely the progress of the Envirooluental LrnpncL Statement in order to co- ordinate their activities with the certification process.

OLD BUSINESS DISTRICT ORDINANCE 869_ CHAPTER 11, FEES AND CHARGES_ Mr. Dean La Field, Executive Vice President, Home Builders Association of Contra Costa and Solana Counties, addressed the Board. Mr- La Field in- dicated his organization was still in disagreement with staff's proposal for fixture charges, contending that an increase of twenty percent was adequate and most equitable. He distributed to Board Members and staff copies of an anaLyses he had prepared which supported his posiLion. Mr. Dalton, Administrative Engineer, explained in detail staff rationale for recommending a fifty percent increase in fixture charges. Discussion which followed between Board Members, staff and Mr. La Field, cantered on allocation of cost for the proposed expansion treatmentgogram amongst the present 270,000 residents of the District and a 1980 projected increase of an additional 230,000 residents. After lengthy discussion, Board Members were in agreement that all grant funds received must be recovered by depreciation. After recognition Lhat the 1980 treatment plant facilities would represent an estimated total investment of $57,0009000.00, for a projected population of 500,000 people to be served by the District, Board Members agreed that staff rationale for proposing a fifty percent increase in fixture charges was fully justified. Thts justification was based on full consideration of in- flationary factors, recognition of the financial burden experienced by current residents of the District, and thaL the predominant source of revenue to finance District expansion of facilities would continue to be the ad valorem tax. Mr. La Field, with tha use of a further analyses provided Board Members and staff, explained in detail his organization's position regarding density factors and the application of the density multiplier in arriving at fixture charges. M. Horstkotte, General Manager -Chief Engineer and Mr. Dalton, Administra- tive Engineer, explained in detail staff's rationale for recommending higher density multipliers than those suggested by Mr. La Field. Cit:Lng historical density experience of the District (3.5 persons per living unit), Mr. Dalton explained that the density multipliers staff was recommending was predicated on the growing need to replace or parallel portions of the existing collection system due to increased load factors brought on by the newer trend towards higher density. Additionally, the recommended density multiplier would be a compensating factor to produce additional revenue in the event number of persons per living unit varied from historical patterns. Board Members, staff and Mr. La Field discussed at length thefurpose of the density multipliers and the impact of higher densities upon the District's sewage system. After considering various alternatives, it was the consensus of the Board that the fixture multiplier for 21-30 living units per gross acre shall be 1.8 and that the fixture multiplier for 31-50 living units per gross acre shall be 2.0. 2 ORDINANCE 86 AS AMENDED AN ORDINANCE OF THE CENTRAL CONTRA COSTA SANITARY DISTRICT REVISING CHAPTER 11 OF THE CENTRAL CONTRA COSTA SANITARY DISTRICT CODE RELATING TO FEES AND CHARGES COLLECTED BY THE DISTRICT FOR VARIOUS PURPOSES it was moved by Member Mitchell, seconded by Member Rustigian, that Ordinance 86, As Amended, "An Ordinance of the Central Contra Costa.

Utilizing a chart, Mr. La Blue explained to the Board Members that an area called Muir Oaks, which was an old partially developed subdivision adjacent to the City of Martinez, ivit View Sanitary District and the Sanitary District and which required sewage because of health reasons. He noted that the basic problem was that a majority of the residents in the area were opposed to sewage because this would involve annexation to the City of Martinez as well as to Central San. However, owners of undeveloped lots in this subdivision favored annexation because, due to a building moratorium imposed by the County Health Department, they could not develop their property. The purpose for County Health Department representation at the meeting was to request the cooperation of Central San in administering a Local Improvement District Idlich would be formed under the jurisdiction of the County Board of Super- visors and, secondly, for Central San to agree to accept sewage from the ae-ea. With supplemental information supplied by Mr. Horstkotte, General Manager - Chief Engineer, and Mr. Dalton, Administrative Engineer, Board Members, staff and Health Department representatives discussed the matter at length. Mr. Bohn, Counsel for the District, noted that the Sanitary District had a con- tractual agreement with the City of Martinez which requires joint annexation to both the City and Central San for areas such as Muir Oaks An alternative discussed was possible annexation of Muir Oaks to Mt. View Sanitary District which does not have a contractual agreement with the City of Martinez. After further comments and expression by the Board Members to cooperate with the Health Department and the County Board of Supervisors, it was moved by Member Gibbs, seconded by Member Mitchell, that the Sanitary District would fully co- operate with the County Board of Supervisors, the County Health Department, the Local Agency Formation Commission, the City of Martinez and the residents of Muir Oaks with LI e stipulaLionL jie Sanitary District rwe'receive_a signed petition from a substantial majbrity of the c Muir Oaks in- dicating their desire to be annexed by Central San and with their full reali- zation that, under terms of its existing contract, annexation to Central San also required annexation to the City of Martinez. Carried by theibllowing vote: AYES: Members: Boneysteele, Gibbs, Mitchell, Rustigian and Allan NOES Members: None ABSENT: Members: None In response to query, Mr. Bohn, Counsel for the District, stated the County Health Officer does not have authority to require -the District ID accept sewage from the Muir Oaks area as it was outside the boundaries and juris- diction of the Sanitary District. COMMUNICATION FROM CONTRA COSTA COUNTYAGENCY BOARD SELECTION COMMITTEE, BAY AREA SEWAGE SERVICES AGENCY Board Members briefly discussed correspondence received from ihe County Agency Board Selection Committee for BASSA. OTHER BUSINESS ADDED BY SUPPLEMENTAL AGENDA None MATTERS FROM THE FLOOR Member Mitchell, Chairman of the District's Negotiating Committee with the City of Concord, reported he had received indications that the City Council of the City of Concord would like to meet informally with the District Board to discuss matters of mutual concern regarding sewage problems. Board Members ex- pressed agreement to meet with the City Council of Concord and requested that the City Council be so informed. 4 VIII, REPORTS CO: Member Boneysteele reported on the Advisory Committee for Solid Waste Recycling which met May 30, 1972. Member Boneysteele noted MemberfUstigian had attended the meeting along with a guest speaker, Mr. Brad Garretson9 who was a specialist in the field of incineration and solid waste. Board Members and staff discussed in some detail the incineration process as it pertains to solid waste and as proposed in the design of District's new treatment plant for the handling of sludge and recalcination of lime. Member Boneysteele stated the next meeting of the Advisory Committee on Solid Waste Recycling will be on June 149 19729 at 730 o'clock P.M.
