CUSTOMER OUTREACH
1) Outreach to Customers on New Kindergarten — 2nd Grade Student Education
Program
Over the last year, Communication Services and Intergovernmental Relations Division
staff have been developing, testing, and refining a new educational outreach program for
Kindergarten — 2nd grade students. The program's vision is to have the greatest level of
impact on behavioral change as it targets Central San's youngest customer base with
important information on pollution prevention, wastewater operational processes, and how
understanding their behavior impacts facilities (Example -Wipes Clog Pipes). We have
been testing this program both with children of Central San employees, including at the
most recent Bring a Child to Work Day as well as in two service area school classrooms.
As part of this multi-pronged educational program and the corresponding outreach,
Central San will be highlighting our new program characters on four Central San vehicles
including two trucks used for performing pipe integrity checks using cameras, and two
Honda pool vehicles. The vehicle wraps outreach is important to help engage students in
pledging to protect pipes and waterways, and to spark interest from parents and teachers
in our new in-classroom program. The vehicles will be completed and used in the service
area by the end of this fiscal year. The Board Members will have an opportunity to see
first-hand two of the new vehicle wraps immediately following the June 21, 2018 Board
meeting.

MORAGA SINKHOLE REPAIRS
2) Final Billing Received for Moraga Sinkhole Repairs — CalTrans Utility
Agreement Amended
The Town of Moraga recently submitted a final invoice along with an amendment to the
CalTrans Agreement which was executed in 2017 for installation of the new sanitary
sewer related to repair of the sinkhole at the intersection of Rheem Boulevard and Center
Street. The total amount of the final invoice was $50,700, $6,950 above the maximum
amount allowed under the agreement, which is why an amendment to the agreement was
also submitted.
Both the additional invoiced amount and the agreement amendment are within the
General Manager's authority; however, as the Board chose to approve the original
agreement in the spirit of cooperation, noting a dispute over CalTrans' interpretation of
the right of way, staff recently provided an informational memo to the Administration
Committee prior to the General Manager executing the amendment. The work on the
project was accepted by the Town Council in January 2018. Central San staff in the
Planning and Development Services Division inspected the work during construction.
