Mr. Leavitt advised the Committee that after last Friday's election count,
Measure Y was ahead by 1,373 votes in favor of being passed by the voters of
Danville.
In response to a question from Chair Pilecki, Mr. Leavitt stated that the
referendum was placed on the ballot by a citizen's group. He stated that the
developers put a lot of money toward passing the measure. It was noted that
in anticipation of Measure Y passing, the petition for annexation was
submitted. There are no concerns from staff for the annexation.
The Measure Y campaign included a debate over the distinction between
"privately-owned, undeveloped land"versus 'publicly-owned, open space
land."Measure Y specifically listed that the subject open space area will be
maintained by East Bay Regional Parks District.
Ms. Gemmell noted that some opponents believe Central San should wait until
the County has certified election results on April 2 before approving the
annexation. Mr. Leavitt stated that the resolution includes specific language
regarding pending County results and it will not be submitted until after the
election results are certified.
Chair Pilecki expressed concern about the wording in the draft Position Paper
regarding reviewing and approving the entire Environmental Impact Report
(EIR). Mr. Leavitt addressed his concerns stating that the California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) requires that language and the Board is not
recertifying the EIR, rather simply reviewing and considering the document.
COMMITTEE ACTION: Reviewed and recommended Board approval.
4. Other Items
a. Receive update on the most recent meeting of the Bay Area Clean Water
Agencies (BACWA)
Ms. Schectel reviewed the memorandum included in the agenda material.
She stated that language was added to the Ocean Protection Council (OPC)
five-year strategic plan that could affect POTWs (publicly owned treatment
works) like the District, including: targets by 2022, based on the latest
scientific results; establishing interim goals as needed; and significantly
reducing nutrient loading and/or phasing out coastal wastewater discharge into
the ocean. It was noted that the OPC would work with agency partners (State
and Regional Water Boards) to achieve a goal of 80-90% coastal wastewater
recycling that can be put to beneficial use by 2040.

Regarding per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), the State Water
Resources Control Board (SWRCB) plans to issue a 13267 letter to POTWs
this spring. BACWA and CASA (California Association of Sanitation Agencies)
are working with the SWRCB to develop representative agencies to receive
the investigatory notice.
Ms. Schectel stated that on March 17, the SWRCB will conduct a public
hearing on proposed amendments to the Environmental Laboratory
Accreditation Program regulations. She noted that Central San has been
preparing for the proposed amendment plan and, once approved, laboratories
have three years to implement it.
COMMITTEE ACTION: Received the update.
5. Announcements
1) Ms. LaBella stated that after speaking with the County, staff learned that a
Land Use Permit will not be required for the proposed solar array project on

Agreement (PPA) or capital improvement project. She stated that at the next
