RISK MANAGEMENT
1) Hazard Mitigation Plan Approved
Hazard Mitigation Plan — FEMA and the California Office of Emergency Services
(CalOES) have approved the Contra Costa County Hazard Mitigation Plan (CCCHMP)
which includes Central San's jurisdictional annex. The Board adopted this plan on March
1, 2018 pending this approval. As a result, Central San now has an approved and
adopted Hazard Mitigation Plan for the next five years.
2) FEMA Cost Recovery Received
FEMA Recovery— Central San has received a check from the Public Assistance program
for damages arising out of one of the projects arising from the January 2017 winter
storms. The check for $25,819 comprises the full federal share (75%) for trench damage
on the San Carlos Drive incident in Walnut Creek. The state share of this reimbursement
will be forthcoming in a separate check.
Requests for reimbursement on two other projects related to the January 2017 winter
storms were also submitted, both stemming from the emergency situation on Minor Road
in Orinda. One request covered the emergency protective measures and the other for the
permanent pipe repairs). Both claims are still in process.
RECYCLED WATER
3) Residential Recycled Water Fill Station Operating Schedule for 2018
With near "Miracle-March" rainfall totals and more wet weather expected the remainder of
the spring, mandatory potable water use restrictions are not expected in 2018. Because
of this, it is anticipated that Residential Recycled Water Fill Station (fill station) demand in
2018 will be similar to what was observed in 2017. As such, the fill station will operate
during the same hours as the Household Hazardous Waste Facility (Monday through
Saturday from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.) for the remainder of 2018.

topic of "Using FME to Manage Non-Spatial data." While FME is known for its ability to
extract, transform, or load spatial data, it can also be useful in working with non-spatial
data. Central San manages multiple non-spatial databases that are related to its GIS,
such as Cityworks computerized maintenance management system and ITpipes CCTV
inspection system databases. Mr. Von Stetten will explain how Central San used FME to
assist in the migration of a decade's worth of CCTV inspection data into the new ITpipes
system and how staff overcame obstacles with the legacy Microsoft Access databases.
