SUBJECT: REVIEW PROPOSED FISCAL YEAR 2020-21 CENTRAL SAN OPERATIONS
AND MAINTENANCE, SELF-INSURANCE, AND DEBT SERVICE BUDGETS
The proposed Fiscal Year(FY) 2020-21 District Budget will be considered by the Board for adoption on
June 4, 2020 upon conclusion of a scheduled public hearing to receive public comment. Attached is the
draft FY 2020-21 District Budget (Attachment 1), which is the same version as in the budget binders
distributed to Board Members on May 7, 2020.
Also attached is a draft of the presentation planned to be given at the May 21, 2020 Board Meeting in
regards to the O&M budget (Attachment 2). The attached powerpoint presentation for the FY 2020-21
budget reflects several changes that have occurred since the initial draft of budget book was provided to
the Board on May 7, 2020. These changes to the May 7, 2020 budget book draft have been summarized
in Attachment 3 with page number references for tracking purposes. The most significant change
reflected in the attached budget presentation was caused by sewer service charge rate adjustment
deferral approved by the Board on May 7, 2020, which resulted in changes to revenue and reserve
projections for the O&M and Sewer Construction Funds. The updated Financial Summary section with
tracked changes (Attachment 4) summarizes the edits made to-date.
On May 12, 2020, the Engineering & Operations Committee reviewed the Capital Improvement Budget
and Ten-Year Capital Improvement Plan portions of the draft FY 2020-21 Budget and provided input to
staff.
At this meeting, the Finance Committee is being asked to review and provide input to staff on all non-
capital improvement portions of the draft FY 2020-21 Budget, namely the Operations and Maintenance,
Self-I nsurance, and Debt Service Budgets. To have sufficient time to produce a final budget book for
distribution as part of the June 4, 2020 Board meeting agenda packet, staff is requesting that all Board
Members provide any edits by the end of the day on Friday, May 22, 2020.

General Manager's Message
Honorable Members of the Board of Directors:
I am proud to present the Central Contra Costa Sanitary District's (Central San's) Fiscal Year
(FY) 2020-21 combined budget. This budget reflects Central San's continuing commitment to
protecting public health and the environment, while providing outstanding service to the people of
central Contra Costa County at fair and reasonable rates.
A Year of Milestones
This was a year of noteworthy accomplishments for Central San. We celebrated more than two
decades of 100% compliance with our National Pollutant Discharge Elimination Permit — the longest
successful streak of any wastewater agency in California and among the top 20 in the nation. Through
optimizing our pipeline inspection, maintenance, and replacement schedules, we reduced our sewer
overflows and achieved one of the best reliability records in the state, ensuring that more than
99.9999% of the wastewater we collected made it to our treatment plant without incident. And we
implemented numerous infrastructure projects in alignment with our 20-year master plan, including
the following:
:a • Replaced 5 miles of aging neighborhood sewer pipes.
� ' -w " w • Completed the seismic upgrade of our Plant Operations Building,
which houses our Control Center—a state-of-the-art
-� computerized system that monitors and controls every phase of
the wastewater cleaning process, 24 hours a day.
Made significant headway on a project to rehabilitate the
structures and equipment where wastewater enters the
l treatment plant and in the primary treatment areas.
• Completed the first phase of our steam and aeration system
assessments, which will allow us to evaluate options to improve
safety and reliability, extend the useful life of this critical
equipment, and reduce operating costs.
- - In addition, we provided exceptional customer service through
innovative recycled water, household hazardous waste (HHW), and pharmaceutical collection
programs, as well as award-winning public outreach and student educational programs.
Finally, we rose to the challenge of the COVID-19 pandemic, ensuring uninterrupted wastewater
collection and cleaning services for our community during this critical time.
Embracing the Future
As we approach our 75th year, Central San continues to pursue new methods and technologies to
ensure we are making the most of each customer dollar, without compromising service. We continue
to evaluate and implement projects to improve asset management, increase energy efficiency,
enhance safety, and reduce operations and maintenance costs. We also continue to realize cost
May 18, 2020 Special FINANCE Committee Meeting ftenda Packet- Page 107 of 448
Page 14 of 352
savings through our transition to California Public Employees' Retirement System health benefits and
have made significant progress toward implementation of a new Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP)
system. The new ERP system will streamline processes, increase functionality, and provide better
reporting tools to help Central San manage our resources.
These efforts have helped us lay a solid foundation for the future and achieve timely cost savings that
will be applied to critical infrastructure projects, including renovations to our solids handling and
recycled water production and storage facilities. We also are investing in upgrades to our pumping
stations and continue proactively replacing aging neighborhood sewer pipes, to ensure reliable,
trouble-free service for our customers for decades to come.

Community Profile
For over 70 years, Central San has been proud to serve its customers in the San Francisco Bay Area's
central Contra Costa County region. The service area is located at the foot of Mount Diablo (3,848
feet), whose state park and foothills offer hiking trails and open space preserves that are frequently
used by the neighboring residents.
The cities served by Central San are also some of the
most historic in California. Martinez, where the
headquarters is located, was a key crossing point '.-
over the Carquinez Strait for the Pony Express, and
its downtown is notable for its preserved historic
buildings, including the John Muir National Historic j
Site. A short distance away, Concord, Walnut Creek,
and San Ramon boast revitalized shopping districts,
drawing retailers and restaurants from other parts of
the state to open locations there. One of Central
San's largest customers, the City of Concord, is
working on converting a former Naval Weapons
Station into a Community Reuse Project, which will
include parks, housing, office, retail, and the
restoration of Mt. Diablo Creek. Central San is proud
to be part of the effort to make the project as
sustainable as possible by supplying recycled water
for irrigation in this development.
In recent years, the population of the
service area has boomed, partially due to
t its accessibility to San Francisco and
Silicon Valley via public transit. Most of
the population of Contra Costa County
lies along the busy 1-680 corridor that
connects the North Bay to Silicon Valley.
As shown in the following tables, the area
in which Central San operates is a
growing community to whom this agency
is honored to provide its core services,
including educational messaging to instill
the environmental values foundational to
Central San as an organization.

Budgeting Calendar, Process, and Spending Authorities
The budget development process for FY 2020-21 started midway through FY 2019-20 with the updated
financial plan. Board review of the financial plan took place in two workshops, on November 4, 2019,
and March 12, 2020. Board input was used in the budget development during this time period, and
through the preparation of the budget book in April.
Initial budget proposals were input in Pass One, after which the General Manager, Director of Finance
and Administration, and each division manager met to review results. Several cycles, or passes, of
budget development took place thereafter. Required changes were input in Pass Two, another review
session was held, and final changes were input in the Final Pass. Development of the budget was
finalized in April, producing a draft which was provided to the Board in May. The Operations and
Maintenance sections were reviewed by the Board Finance Committee, and the capital budget was
reviewed by the Board Engineering & Operations Committee prior to Board adoption of the final
budget in June.
The budget process typically is aligned with two other key planning processes: strategic planning,
which covers a two-year window, and rate setting.
FY 2020-21 is the first year of a two-year Strategic Plan cycle. The strategic goals, strategies, initiatives,
key success measures, and metrics of that plan were established during mid FY 2019-20, and provide
guidance for funding activities in the budget. The budget proposes a level of funding that will enable
and achieve the goals set forth in the FYs 2020-22 Strategic Plan.
During FY 2018-19, staff presented an update of the financial plan and commenced a discussion about
the need for sewer service rate adjustments. During a financial workshop in January 2019, the Board
provided staff with tentative direction to prepare a multi-year rate adjustment which would be
announced through a Proposition 218 notification process in March and a public hearing on proposed
rate adjustments on April 18. At that meeting, the Board adopted a four-year schedule of adjustments,
with increases of 5.5%, 5.2%, 4.9%, and 4.2%for single family residential customers, and average
increase across all customer classes of 5.25%, 5.25%, 4.75%, and 4.75%. Annual public hearings will be
conducted for years two through four to determine if lesser rate adjustments are possible. The public
hearing for FY 2020-21 was conducted on April 16, 2020, where the Board continued the current
course for FY 2020-21.
A diagram summarizing the budget and rate development process is provided below.

Once the budget is adopted, the General Manager has the authority to spend within the respective
budgets. Payments are governed by the limits set in the General Manager Delegation of Authority
(Board Policy No. BP-038).
May 18, 2020 Special FINANCE Committee Meeting"enda Packet- Page 120 of 448
Page 27 of 352
Individual supervisors and managers are granted authority for purchase requisitions, approvals, and
payment authorizations consistent with the signature limit matrix by position that serves as a partial
delegation of some of the General Manager authority. Certain expenditures over$200,000 require
Board approval.
Spending is monitored monthly by staff and by the Board; variances of more than 10% on individual
budget line item categories are highlighted and subject to discussion by the Finance Committee. All
expenditures are submitted monthly to the Finance Committee and the Board for review and approval.
Monthly financial statements are issued internally and to the Board. Monthly and annual variance
explanations are presented to the Board. The Board also reviews year-end variance explanations and
determines how available funds from favorable variances are used.
Should it become necessary to spend more than the overall Operations and Maintenance, Capital, Debt
Service or Self-Insurance budget, formal Board action would be required to adopt an amended budget.
For the Capital Improvement Program, budgets for projects are set on an annual basis. The
General Manager has the authority to reallocate funds up to $500,000 between projects. Reallocations
above that amount require approval by the Board. The Capital Improvement Budget also includes a
$2.5 million contingency, which is subject to the same General Manager transfer limits. Transfers
above that amount, or the creation of a new, unbudgeted capital project, would require approval by
the Board.
The General Manager has the authority to spend up to the budgeted amounts for Debt Service. The
General Manager may also spend Self-Insurance Fund reserves to pay claims and claim expenses within
the self-insured retention ($500,000) during the fiscal year.
General Manager and Board roles in the administration of financial limits related to expenditures are
summarized in the two tables below:

Strategic Plan Summary
Central San develops its Strategic Plans on a two-year cycle, while tracking progress quarterly and
producing performance reports annually. The Strategic Plans establish policy direction, outlines core
commitments, focus initiatives, and track performance with key performance metrics. This budget
relates to the first year in the FYs 2020-22 Strategic Plan and reports strategic accomplishments and
performance for the second year of the FYs 2018-20 Strategic Plan.
The development of the FYs 2020-22 Strategic Plan began with the Board's re-adoption of Central San's
Mission and adoption of revised Vision, Values, and Goals in December 2019. These updates
emphasized the agency's commitment to the environment, innovation, optimization, and continuous
improvement. Staff held a workshop the following month to update the FYs 2018-20 Strategic Plan to
reflect current priorities.
The Strategic Plan contains five components: Goals, Strategies, Initiatives, Key Success Measures, and
Metrics. The Strategies outline Central San's approach to achieve its Goals, overcome its challenges,
accomplish its mission, and meet the community's needs in the most efficient and effective ways. The
Initiatives describe the actions staff will take, and the Key Success Measures delineate the tasks to
fulfill those Initiatives. The Key Metrics set targets, track progress, and evaluate performance. To view
a complete copy of the Strategic Plan, please visit www.centralsan.org.
Starting with the development of the FYs 2016-18 Strategic Plan, staff has used the Effective Utility
Management (EUM) model as a tool to identify practices and procedures to improve operations and
move toward continued sustainability. The EUM framework was originally developed in 2007 by the
American Water Works Association (AWWA), U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), and nine
other association partners representing the U.S. water and wastewater sector. It consists of 10
attributes that provide succinct focus areas for effectively managed utilities and what they should
strive to achieve. These attributes are as follows:

Financial Overview
Central San uses an enterprise fund to account for its operations. The single enterprise fund is
further segmented into four primary internal sub-funds and three other funds and accounts as
described below:
Primary Internal Sub-Funds
• Operations and Maintenance (O&M) Running Expense Fund—This fund provides for the general
operations, maintenance, and administration of Central San. Sewer Service Charge (SSC) revenues
are collected by the Contra Costa County Tax Collector's Office and are remitted to Central San in
two installments in April and December of each year. Central San provides several services,
including wastewater treatment, to its customers and, by contract, to the cities of Concord and
Clayton. Central San is reimbursed annually for the treatment services provided to Concord and
Clayton residents. Central San reserves five months (41.7%) of its gross operating expenditures at
the start of each fiscal year to pay its ongoing expenses throughout the year.
• Sewer Construction Fund (Capital Fund)—This fund provides for treatment plant and collection
system asset renewal and replacement expenditures, as well as office facilities renewal, vehicle and
equipment replacement, information systems replacement, and miscellaneous capital expansion
needs. The City of Concord reimburses Central San for its share of expenses related to projects
impacting the services the City has contracted with Central San to provide, proportional to flow.
Property tax (ad valorem taxes) and a portion of SSC revenues, which comprise a significant portion
of annual capital project revenues, are collected by the Contra Costa County Tax Collector's Office
and remitted to Central San in two installments in April and December of each year. In addition,
Capacity Fees received from permits are allocated to this capital fund. In order to meet the cash
flow needs of the Capital Projects program, Central San reserves 50% of the annual cash-funded
portion of the Capital Projects budget at the start of each fiscal year. In FY 2020-21, the Capital
Projects budget will be funded through current year rate collections (cash funded), as well as a
State of California Revolving Fund loan for the Solids Handling Facilities Improvements Project. The
Capital Projects section of this document provides a table showing the various sources of revenue
funding for each type of capital project.
• Self-Insurance Fund (SIF)—This fund accounts for interest earnings on cash balances in this fund
and cash allocations from other funds, as well as for costs of insurance premiums and claims not
covered by Central San's insurance coverage. Central San has self-insured a portion of its liability
and property risks since July 1, 1986, when the Board of Directors (Board) approved the
establishment of the SIF. Central San is self-insured for three events up to $500,000 per
occurrence for its general and automobile liability program, for a total of$1.5 million. Maintaining
a self-insured retention reduces Central San's insurance premium expense. In order to help
mitigate the financial impacts and maintain uninterrupted service in the event of an emergency or
catastrophic event, Central San maintains an Emergency Fund Reserve balance of$5 million in the
SIF. Actuarial studies are performed every other year and are used to set the Governmental
Accounting Standards Board (GASB) 10 liability amount.
33
May 18, 2020 Special FINANCE Committee Meeting Agenda Packet- Page 129 of 448
Page 36 of 352
• Debt Service Fund—This fund accounts for activity associated with the payment of Central San's
long-term bonds and loans. Central San's total debt service for FY 2020-21 is $2.5 million, a
decrease of approximately$0.5 million from the $3.0 million budgeted in FY 2019-20. The debt
service reduction is in accordance with the amortization schedule of the 2018 bonds issued in
September 2018 to refund previously existing 2009 bonds. A portion of Central San's ad valorem
tax revenue is the primary funding source for the Debt Service Fund.
Other Funds and Accounts
Other tracking mechanisms to segregate funds restricted for specific purposes include:
• Pension Prefunding Trust Fund —This Section 115 secondary pension trust was established
by the Board in 2017. Deposits into or withdrawals from the trust require approval of the
Board of Directors. The trust does not have a specified target size. The trust holds assets
that would be available for use to meet pension obligations to the Contra Costa County
Employees' Retirement Association (CCCERA). For financial reporting purposes, this
budgetary "other fund" is consolidated into Central San's single entity enterprise fund
pursuant to generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). However, for budgetary
purposes the Pension Prefunding Trust Fund is tracked separately due to its significance for
long-term financial planning and debt management.
• Other Post-Employment Benefits (OPEB)Trust Fund—This irrevocable trust was
established by the Board in 2009. Deposits into the trust requires Board approval. The
trust does not have a specified target size. The trust holds assets that are specified for
meeting employee related post-employment benefits, primarily retiree healthcare
coverage. For financial reporting purposes, effective FY 2020-21 pursuant to the
implementation of GASB 84, this budgetary "other fund" is no longer reported in Central
San's Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR) as a fiduciary fund. However, for
budgetary purposes the OPEB Trust Fund will continue to be tracked separately due to its
significance for long-term financial planning and debt management.
• Rate Stabilization Fund Reserve Account—This restricted-use account was authorized by
the 2018 Revenue Bonds and established by the Board in 2019. Deposits into the Rate
Stabilization Fund Reserve Account would reduce the revenues specified for calculating the
debt service coverage ratio metric, while withdrawals would increase revenues for
calculating that metric. Rate Stabilization Fund Reserve Accounts were created in both the
O&M Sub-Fund and the Sewer Construction Sub-Fund and use of proceeds held in the
accounts requires specific Board action. The accounts do not have specified target sizes.

Financial Planning Policies
The significant policies that play a role in managing Central San's finances are summarized below:
Fiscal Reserves Policy
There is a strong emphasis placed on maintaining adequate reserves, and having a reserve
policy ensures long-term financial stability. In 2015, the Board adopted Board Policy No. BP 017-
Fiscal Reserves,which set targets for each of Central San's reserve funds. This policy was reviewed
and updated by the Board during FY 2018-19. Key provisions remained generally unchanged, with
updates primarily focusing on providing detail about the usage of the reserves and recognizing new
accounts since the initial policy. Fiscal reserves provide working capital for O&M activities; funding for
long-term capital improvement requirements; fulfillment of legal, regulatory, and contractual
obligations; mitigation of risk and liability exposures; and cash flow emergencies. Table 14 shows
projected reserve balances as of June 30, 2020, and June 30, 2021.
• O&M Fund—Working capital reserves, the Board has set a target of five months (41.7%) of gross
operating expenses at the start of each fiscal year.
• Sewer Construction Fund (Capital Improvement)—Working capital reserves, the Board has set a
target of 50% of the annual Capital Projects budget at the start of each fiscal year, excluding capital
projects that are to be funded with bond proceeds or loans.
• SIF Reserves—The Board has set a target of three times the annual retention, currently at
$500,000. In addition, to help mitigate the financial impacts and maintain uninterrupted service in
the event of an emergency or catastrophic event, Central San maintains an Emergency Fund
Reserve balance of$5 million in the SIF.
• Debt Service Reserve (Bond Reserve)—The previously outstanding 2009 certificates of
participation (a type of borrowing) required the establishment and maintenance of a debt service
reserve fund defined in the loan documents. With the refinancing of that debt with 2018
revenue bonds, the Debt Service Reserve Fund was eliminated in September 2018, with the then
$4.86 million balance used to reduce the required issuance amount of the refunding debt. No debt
service reserve fund is now outstanding.
Other Significant Financial Accounts
• Rate Stabilization Fund Reserve Account—The 2018 Revenue Bond documents provided that
Central San could establish and fund a discretionary rate stability fund reserve account. During
FY 2019-20, the Board established a Rate Stabilization Fund Reserve Account, and made an initial
contribution of$2.61 million from available monies remaining from the financial close of
FY 2018-19. Rate Stabilization Fund Reserve Accounts were created within the O&M Sub-Fund and
the Sewer Construction Sub-Fund.
• Pension Prefunding Trust and OPEB Trust fund provisions are also described in the Financial
Reserves Policy. Investment Guideline documents also specify investment parameters to be
followed by the external investment manager.

Basis for Budgeting
The basis for budgeting refers to the method of recognition of revenue and expenses in budgetary
reporting, which differs from the basis of accounting used in financial reporting. Central San's CAFR
provides detail about the actual expenditures of the four sub-funds in place as of June 30, 2019, in the
Central San enterprise fund reported on a full accrual basis of accounting. In contrast, Central San's
budgets are prepared on a modified cash flow basis which projects the District's cash inflow and
outflows over the course of a fiscal year (July 1 through June 30) excluding physical and intangible
assets such as depreciation expense. Revenues are recognized as they are received and accounted for
while obligations for expenditures are recognized when a commitment is made through an
encumbered purchase order or actual expense. As part of its implementation of a new ERP, Central
San plans to implement encumbrance accounting effective July 1, 2020.
Central San's accounts and transactions are tracked on a full accrual basis, which is the basis of
accounting under generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). Under this method, all assets and
liabilities associated with operations are included on the balance sheet and revenues are recorded
when earnings and expenses are recorded at the time the commitments are incurred.
Depreciation and amortization are handled differently in budgetary reporting versus financial
reporting. In budgetary reporting, depreciation and amortization are excluded, and capital outlays as
well as the repayment of debt used to finance capital assets are included and reported as expenses. In
the financial reporting such as the CAFR, depreciation and amortization are included, and capital
outlays as well as the repayment of debt used to finance said capital assets are excluded for income
statement reporting purposes.
Pension and OPEB are also handled differently in budgetary reporting versus financial reporting. In
budgetary reporting, pension and OPEB expense adjustments as determined by actuarial reports are
excluded, and employer contributions to the underlying irrevocable plan trusts are included and
reported as expenses. In the financial reporting such as the CAFR, pension and OPEB expense
adjustments are included, and employer contributions to the underlying irrevocable plan trusts are
excluded for income statement reporting purposes.

This table illustrates the differences between the budget and accounting basis as reflected on the
income statement as described previously:
ModifiedBUDGETARY ACCOUNTING
Revenues Recognized when received Recorded when earned
and accounted for
Obligations Recognized when a commitment Recorded at the time commitments
is made through are incurred (i.e.,services rendered
encumbrance or expense and/or goods delivered)
Depreciation and amortization Excluded Included
Capital outlays Included Excluded
Pension/OPEB expense Excluded Included
Pension/OPEB plan contributions Included Excluded
Debt service principal payments Included Excluded
Through this budget and its adoption by the Board, funds are appropriated to each of the sub-funds.
Each of the sub-funds presents a budget in the form of revenues, expenses, and an overall contribution
to or draw from reserves.
Central San presents a "balanced budget" each year, defined as a budget in which:
Budgeted revenues and planned draws from the applicable reserve meet or exceed
budgeted expenditures, and where any planned draws from the reserve will leave the
reserve at or above the policy targeted level.
Implementation of a New Chart of Accounts
This budget has also been prepared to reflect the updated chart of accounts designed by Central San as
part of the Oracle Cloud ERP project, which is scheduled to be in place during FY 2020-21. The new
chart of accounts is based on the previous chart of accounts with certain modifications to improve
parent-child relationship rollups and logical structure of both organizational units and accounts (i.e.,
expenses, revenues, etc.). The new chart of accounts is largely based on best practice guidance
published by the GFOA.
For this reason, there may be differences in expenditure line items and groupings in this book
compared to previous budget books. As a result of these changes, to improve comparability, certain
prior year expense categories have been reclassified in accordance with the new categories and
groupings. The total budget figures for the given years remain the same, but expenditures by category
may differ. Examples of changes include the following:
37
May 18, 2020 Special FINANCE Committee Meeting Agenda Packet- Page 133 of 448
Page 40 of 352
Type of Change Examples
Movements of particular Board of Director fees and benefits were previously classified
expenditures from one category as"Other Expenditures". In this budget presentation, Board
to another fees are included in the"Salaries&Wages" parent category,
and Board benefits are in the Employee Benefits category,
although both continue to be tracked separately for
accounting purposes.
Changes in expenditure line • Professional & Legal Fees, Outside Services,and Repair&
items Maintenance Costs are now reallocated between two new
categories reported as"Purchased Property Services"and
"Other Purchased Services" pursuant to GFOA guidelines.
Changes in Organizational Units • Org Unit Splits—Some organization units have been split apart
to provide further detail. For example,the previously
reported budgetary organization unit"Office of the General
Manager&Office of the Secretary of the District" has been
split into several sub-categories for improved reporting
purposes. New sub-categories reported in the budget book
resulting from this change include:General Manager,
Secretary of the District, Board of Directors,and Director of
Finance&Administration.
• Creation of New Org Units—New organization units for
Directors have been created for each of Central San's three
departments to better reflect Central San's organizational
chart and to prevent Director-related costs from being
reported within one of the Departments' many child units as
was the case in prior budget books(i.e., Director of
Engineering&Technical Services was reported within the
Planning&Development Services Division previously).
• Consolidation of Org Units—The Safety organizational unit
reported in the prior year budget book has been consolidated
into the Human Resources division.

Debt Management and Continuing Disclosure Policy
In August 2017, the Board adopted Board Policy No. BP 029— Debt Management and Continuing
Disclosure, which sets the parameters for the responsible and prudent use of debt to fund a part of
Central San's capital spending in the coming years. Central San has primarily used a pay-as-you-go
philosophy but has, occasionally, used some debt financing for large capital improvements brought
about by regulatory changes or other unforeseen factors. The Debt Management Policy provides for
the conservative use of debt. The funding allocated toward pipeline replacement in general is to be
collected through SSC rates, capacity fees, and/or taxes, while debt is permitted for the remaining
portion of the capital program.
Currently, Central San is repaying 2018 Revenue Bonds. As of June 30, 2019, total outstanding debt
associated with infrastructure improvements was $19.45 million. As noted in the "Debt" section of this
document, borrowings under a State Revolving Fund loan are anticipated to begin in FY 2020-21 for the
Solids Handling Facilities Improvements Project. Central San's ten-year financial plan anticipates also
additional borrowing (subject to Board approval) which may be in the form of either revenue bonds or
an additional loan from the Clean Water State Revolving Fund and Water Recycling Funding Programs
of the State Water Resources Control Board.
Debt restrictions currently include the following:
• Revenue Pledge and Covenant—Central San pledges property tax revenue, along with its net
revenues consisting of gross revenues less the cost of operating the wastewater system.
• Debt Service Coverage Ratios of at least 1.Ox (gross revenues including capacity fees and after
payment of O&M, plus tax revenues/total debt service) and 1.25x (gross revenues excluding
capacity fees and after payment of 0&M plus tax revenues/total debt service) are adhered to.
Central San's Debt Service Coverage Ratio is strong and benefits from minimal debt service as a result
of the District's current pay-as-you-go philosophy. This favorable coverage ratio is a factor in
Central San's very strong AAA and Aa1 credit ratings issued by Standard & Poor's and Moody's,
respectively.
Investment Policy
Central San's investment policy, Board Policy No. BP 005—Statement of Investment Policy, last
updated in the fall of 2019, is based on state law and prudent money management. All investments
are in accordance with this policy and Sections 53646 and 53601 of the California Government Code.
Central San has formal agreements with Contra Costa County, allowing them to act as Central San's
banker. The County invests all Central San funds. Securities are held in a custodial account separate
from the County. The investment policy applies to all Central San funds and investment activities,
apart from the OPEB Trust and Pension Prefunding Trust, which are governed by separate specific
investment guidelines also approved by the Board of Directors.
The investment policy is presented to the Board annually, and its priorities are safety, liquidity, and
yield. The policy addresses issues such as permitted investments, banks and dealers, maturities,
diversification, risk, delegation of authority, prudence, controls, reporting, and performance
evaluation.
39
May 18, 2020 Special FINANCE Committee Meeting Agenda Packet- Page 135 of 448
Page 42 of 352
The GASB 45 (OPEB) Trust and Pension Prefunding Trust Investment Guidelines are also presented to
the Board annually. The investments of these trusts are longer-term investments, with the GASB 45
(OPEB) Trust adopting a "moderate" investment strategy, and the Pension Prefunding Trust adopting a
"moderately conservative" investment strategy. With respect to both trusts, U.S. Bank is the Trustee,
HighMark Capital is the Investment Manager, and Public Agency Retirement Services is the Trust
Administrator and Consultant. As of February 29, 2020, the GASB 45 (OPEB) Trust had a balance of
$67.9 million, up from the $58 million in the account one year earlier.
The IRS Section 115 Pension Prefunding Trust was adopted during FY 2017-18 and was initially funded
with $3.4 million. With the adoption of this trust, Central San may make optional payments to the
Pension Prefunding Trust rather than direct any extra payment(s) to CCCERA, giving Central San greater
retirement payment flexibility in the future, while still reducing overall pension liability. As an example
of this flexibility, Central San could elect to draw down the Pension Prefunding Trust to meet its
payment obligations to CCCERA in order to smooth payment obligations and mitigate rate volatility.
Since its inception, additional payments to the Section 115 Pension Prefunding Trust included:
Year Amount Source
FY 2017-18 $2,000,000 Favorable year-end variance from FY 2016-17
FY 2018-19 $2,500,000 Budgeted funds in 0&M Budget
FY 2019-20 $1,250,000 Budgeted funds in 0&M Budget
As of February 29, 2020, the balance in the fund was $9.6 million.
Current Financial Plan
Central San has a multi-year financial plan that projects anticipated spending, debt issuances, customer
data, tax collections, and resulting rate increases. Factors considered in the long-range forecast
include the impact of state legislation and mandates, regulatory compliance, GASB requirements,
negotiated or forecasted salary increases and employee benefit changes (including anticipated changes
in healthcare and retirement costs), energy costs, development in the service area, and infrastructure
renewal and replacement needs.
The financial plan undergoes substantial development and review by staff, and various scenarios are
presented to the Board during financial planning and rate-setting workshops. The financial plan covers
a period of twenty years, although the assumptions for setting rates for four years are more focused
on the first ten years.
The current financial plan reflects the proposed Ten-Year Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) spending
levels identified in the Comprehensive Wastewater Master Plan, as updated during periodic reviews of
the spending plan. The most recent review was presented at the March 12, 2020 Board Financial
Planning Workshop. The financial plan for FY 2020-21 estimated 0&M spending at $92.1 million and
capital spending at $96.8 million, based on the following assumptions:
40
May 18, 2020 Special FINANCE Committee Meeting Agenda Packet- Page 136 of 448
Page 43 of 352
Operations and Maintenance
• Funding for the initiatives addressed in the two-year Strategic Plan. Accordingly, Central San's
various planning documents are integrated and consistent.
• Updated O&M costs based on inflation and other cost-growth factors, including labor costs per the
maximum inflation assumptions in the memoranda of understanding with the bargaining units and
agreements with unrepresented employees.
Once the proposed budget is adopted, the individual line items in the O&M portion of the financial
plan will be updated to reflect the final budget. The approved budget is then used as a baseline for
future years' planning.
Capital
The Ten-Year CIP was rolled forward one year (changing from $867 million to $878.7 million), then
inflated by 3%, to $902.1 million so that the total is stated in 2020 dollars. The amount was then
updated by reshaping cash flows over the ten-year period, while increasing overall spending by
$5.4 million. This results in a Ten-Year CIP of$907.5 million. This update reflects a detailed
assessment of Central San's latest needs and expected project timing. The Capital Improvement
section of this budget book provides detail about the FY 2020-21 capital budget and the Ten-Year CIP.

Financial Summary
The FY 2020-21 Budget provides the resources necessary to advance the Strategic Plan and meet the
challenges Central San faces as it strives to increase service quality and minimize costs. At the same
time, the budget allows Central San to accomplish its mission in the most cost-effective and financially
sustainable manner to ensure the best value to its customers.
Central San's total budget for FY 2020-21 is $182.4 million, representing an increase of$24.5 million, or
15.6%,compared to the FY 2019-20 budget of$157.8 million, which changes by individual spending
category as follows:
• The FY 2020-21 O&M Budget is $90.7 million, an increase of$3.1 million from the current FY 2019-
20 budget of$87.6 million.
• The main driver of the increase in the total budget is a 33.0% increase in sewer construction
investment, from $66.2 million in FY 2019-20 to $88 million in FY 2020-21.
• Debt service is reduced by $0.5 million, a result of lower principal amortization compared to
FY 2019-20.
• The Self-Insurance Fund (SIF) is set at $1.2 million for the costs of premiums and estimated losses
based on historical trends and represents a slight increase from the $1.1 million funding level of the
FY 2019-20 Budget.

The SSC is the largest source of revenue for FY 2020-21 at $106.6 million, followed by the
City of Concord at $31.1 million, ad valorem property tax at $18.5 million, and Capacity Fees at
$6 million. All other sources of revenue are $6.7 million. Non-revenue sources of funds for
FY 2020-21 include use of reserves at $10.5 million (see Table 14 for detail), and expected
borrowing of$3 million. They are described elsewhere in this section.
A brief description of Central San's revenue sources and how they are forecasted follows:
• Sewer Service Charge (SSC)— Each customer in Central San's service area pays the SSC, which
applies to both residential and non-residential customers. It is assessed annually on the customer's
property tax bill, or, for those customers who do not receive a property tax bill, billed directly by
Central San, to pay for the collection and treatment of wastewater. The SSC is based on customer
class. The basis for the charge is the strength and volume of the wastewater discharged, and
customers are assigned to various classes for billing purposes. SSCs vary by customer class and
have been developed to ensure that each class pays its proportionate share of operating,
maintaining, repairing, and upgrading the sewer collection and treatment system. Periodic cost of
service studies reviews and adjust the allocation of costs to individual customer classes based on
their impact to the sewer system. For residential customers, separate rates are charged to single
family and multi-family residences. Non-residential customers are typically billed based on their
water consumption and business type. For budgetary purposes, the forecast for the SSC is based
on prior year revenue, estimated growth derived from anticipated residential construction, and
predicted changes in non-residential water consumption.
• City of Concord—Central San receives revenues from the City of Concord which are calculated and
billed in accordance with the terms of a contractual agreement for the treatment of wastewater
from both the City of Concord and the City of Clayton. The Cities are responsible for paying their
flow-proportional share of the operating and maintenance costs for Central San's treatment plant.
The amount of revenue is forecast annually for budgeting purposes by multiplying the
City of Concord's estimated flow percentage by the budgeted treatment plant and associated costs.
The amount due is invoiced by Accounting in August for the prior fiscal year.
• Property Tax Revenue—Central San receives a share of the ad valorem property taxes collected by
Contra Costa County on properties within the service area. These taxes are used to pay debt
service requirements, and the remaining funds are allocated to the Capital Improvement Program.
This revenue is forecast by reviewing historic property tax revenue and adjusting for anticipated
changes in property value.
• Capacity Fees—These fees are collected from new construction and expansion of non-residential
facilities which result in an added wastewater burden. The fee is calculated as an equity buy-in.
Residential parcels are charged a flat per-unit fee, and non-residential parcels are typically charged
based on the business type and building square footage, which represents their anticipated
wastewater burden. The amounts due are collected before plans are approved. The budgeted
amount is estimated by the Planning & Development Services Division based on trend analysis and
anticipated construction activity for the upcoming year.
• Household Hazardous Waste (HHW) Reimbursement—Central San provides a facility where
residents and businesses within the service area may dispose of specified hazardous wastes.
Additionally, residents from specified cities (Concord, Clayton, San Ramon, and parts of Martinez
served by the Mt. View Sanitary District) also have the right to use the facility, and these cities pay
45
May 18, 2020 Special FINANCE Committee Meeting Agenda Packet- Page 141 of 448
Page 48 of 352
a contractually agreed amount for this service. The amounts due are invoiced by Accounting in
August for the prior fiscal year. The budgeted amounts are based on projected total costs of the
facility, to be shared pro rata by all users within the service area.
• Recycled Water—This represents revenue from the sale of recycled water to customers in
Central San's service area who have recycled water meters. The amounts due are invoiced by
Accounting bi-monthly based on monthly meter readings. The Planning & Development Services
Division forecasts the revenue from recycled water based on projected changes in recycled water
consumption. Other internal use of Recycled Water is not included in reported revenues, but a
calculated ascribed value of this water based on production costs is shown in the Operating
Departments section of this document under the Recycled Water division discussion.
• All Other Revenue Sources—This includes the following:
o Permit and Inspection Fees—These are fees for sewer permits, plan review, inspections, and
related activities, including environmental compliance fees. The amounts are forecast by the
Development Services Supervisor based on anticipated construction activity for the upcoming
year.
o Lease Rental Income—This represents rental income from buffer properties (buildings and
undeveloped land) owned by Central San and rented to third parties through multi-year
agreements. Leases are reviewed by Accounting and Right-of-Way to identify any changes to
multi-year lease rates. Budgeted lease revenue is based on the terms of those leases.
o Stormwater/Pollution Prevention—These are fees collected from Contra Costa County and
certain cities for performing stormwater inspections as required by Contra Costa County's
National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System permit. These services are provided by Central
San's Environmental Compliance group under contract with the Contra Costa Clean Water
Program. Amounts are invoiced by Accounting based on the number of inspections completed.
The budgeted amount is based on a targeted number of inspections to be performed during the
fiscal year.
o Interest Income—This is based on forecast cash levels multiplied by estimated interest rates
over the course of the fiscal year. Given the Federal Reserve's measures in March 2020,
interest income is expected to be below FY 2019-20 levels.
o Developer Fees—These are charges for plan review and inspection of mainline extension
projects by developers and other property owners. The amounts are collected by the Permit
Counter and are budgeted based on estimates by the Planning & Development Services Division
based on trend analysis and anticipated construction activity for the upcoming fiscal year.
o Pumped Zone Fees— New developments or expansion in areas where Pump Stations are
required to move wastewater to the Central San treatment plant pay an additional capacity fee
to cover pumping infrastructure costs. These fees are separately shown as Pumped Zone Fees
and are budgeted by multiplying the incremental Pumped Zone Fee times the number of
development units anticipated to be subject to such fees.
o Other—This includes annexation fees, other service charges, and miscellaneous fee revenue.
Amounts are collected by various departments depending on the source of revenue. For the
SIF, other revenue includes an allocation from the O&M fund in an amount necessary to
replenish the SIF to the targeted level after projected expenses in the budget year.

• Use of Reserves- Use of, or contribution to, reserves is determined by sub-fund. A contribution to
reserves results from budget year revenues exceeding budget year expenditures. A draw from
reserves results if the reverse is true. Table 14 shows the reserve status by sub-fund and overall
status of the Central San Enterprise Fund.
• Loan Proceeds- Use of anticipated borrowing proceeds to fund the Capital Improvement Budget,
of$3 million, for FY 2020-21 is shown in Table 13.
Tables 2 and 2a below show the overall funding sources of Central San and how those funding sources
are applied to each sub-fund for FY 2020-21 and FY 2019-20.

Sewer Service Charge
Tables 3 and 4 show the SSC for FY 2020-21 compared to the FY 2019-20 rates for residential and
non-residential customers. These rates were approved by the Board after a public hearing on
April 18, 2019, through the adoption of a four-year rate ordinance. Since then, two financial
workshops have been held (on November 4, 2019, and March 12, 2020) to discuss Central San's
financial outlook and to receive preliminary Board direction on key financial planning matters. As
committed to in the adoption of the four-year rate ordinance, the Board on April 16, 2020, deliberated
on whether to adjust the previously adopted rates for FY 2020-21, with no changes made.

In April 2019, the Board approved the consolidation of most of Central San's prior non-residential
customer classes into five classes (shown below) based on combined strength limits, defined as the
sum of biochemical oxygen demand and total suspended solids. These customer classes are now
"Low," "Medium-Low," "Medium," "Medium-High," and "High" and fairly charge those customers for
the proportionate cost of collecting and treating their wastewater, based on an updated cost of
service study competed in FY 2018-19. The change was effective July 1, 2019.

Table 5 indicates the total collected SSC and how such funds are allocated to the O&M and
Capital Budgets. The allocation of the SSC to Capital increases from 31.8% in FY 2019-20 to 57.0% in
FY 2020-21. All the revenue generated by the FY 2020-21 SSC rate increases will be directed to the CIP
and will be used to fund capital spending in FY 2020-21 and subsequent years.

The allocation of SSC between O&M and capital fluctuates each year, and is based on spending
levels, other revenue sources, and reserve balances in each fund. The significant decrease in
the proportion of total SSC being allocated to the O&M fund is attributable to a projected $26.6
million in 0&M working capital reserves above the policy required level available as of
June 30, 2020. This amount is attributable to several factors, including lower than anticipated
spending and higher than anticipated revenues in FY 2019-20, and a revision in the reserve
definition. In November 2019, the Board of Directors approved an amendment to the District's
Fiscal Reserves Policy, which in addition to other changes, clarified the definition of"working
capital" to include other current assets and liabilities, in addition to unrestricted cash and
investments, pursuant to best practice guidance published by the GFOA. The largest
component of net increase in available working capital reserves of the O&M fund is the
inclusion of current accounts receivable of$15 million, which includes the significant receivable
due from the City of Concord for treatment services on the books at the close of each fiscal
year, but which relates to the prior year. As a one-time transitional issue, this change in reserve
definition has limited impacts on long-term financial planning and rate setting as the inclusion
of this current receivable asset largely addresses a year-to-year payment timing issue. Refer to
Table 14 for additional information on Reserves.
Uses of Funds
The uses of funds (expenditures and contributions to reserves) for FY 2020-21 are shown in Figure 3.
Two expenditure categories, O&M and Sewer Construction, account for 97% of the total uses. In
FY 2020-21, a contribution to reserves comprises 1% of the total use of funds. These funds will be
applied to the Sewer Construction Fund (Capital Improvement Program) to help offset the need for
related to the increased capital spending planned for FY 2020-21 and future years.

O&M revenue decreases by $22.8 million, or 25.5%, due primarily to the following:
• In November 2019, the Board approved a revised Fiscal Reserve Policy, which amongst other
matters clarified the definition and calculation of"minimum working capital" to include other
elements of the balance sheet beyond unrestricted cash and investments in line with GFOA
recommended best practices. Pursuant to this revision, O&M reserves are projected to exceed the
minimum working capital reserve requirement as of June 30, 2020, providing for a draw-down of
53
May 18, 2020 Special FINANCE Committee Meeting Agenda Packet- Page 149 of 448
Page 56 of 352
excess reserve funds of$23.9 million while still maintaining the projected minimum working capital
reserve balance of five-twelfths (5/12) the following year's budget for FY 2020-21. This has the
positive outcome of being able to allocate a larger proportion of FY 2020-21 SSC revenues to the
Sewer Construction Fund for much needed long-term capital investment purposes.
• While system-wide average SSC rates are increasing by 5.25% effective July 1, 2020, the O&M
allocation of the SSC decreases from 68.2% in FY 2019-20 to 43% in FY 2020-21, with the amount
allocated to capital projects increasing from 31.8%to 57%.
• The City of Concord is allocated a share proportional to their flow to the treatment plant and
environmental and regulatory compliance expenses and is billed for administrative overhead and a
finance charge. City of Concord revenue toward 0&M costs is expected to be $14.6 million in
FY 2020-21, a 1.6% decrease compared to $14.8 million in FY 2019-20. This is due to decreased
O&M spending, offset by a slightly higher anticipated share of flow-based costs attributable to the
City of Concord.
• Decrease in forecasted interest income due to Federal Reserve rate actions in early 2020.
As shown in Table 7, total O&M expenses are projected to be $90.7 million in FY 2020-21, an increase
of$3.1 million from the $87.6 million budget in FY 2019-20. This figure includes the costs related to all
Central San services including wastewater collection and treatment, HHW collection, and recycled
water production and distribution. Central San has maintained a relatively flat O&M budget for six
years in a row (FY 2014-15 to FY 2019-20), with only a modest increase above $90 million for
FY 2020-21. The budget continues to provide funding for strategic initiatives and key activities. Table 7
and Figure 5 show the FY 2020-21 O&M Budget by expense category. Significant savings from a
transition to CalPERS health benefits has enabled this reduction in O&M spending, despite inflationary
pressures in other expense categories.
O&M salaries and benefits (labeled categories A and B in the table) comprise 59% (56.3%for active and
2.7%for retirees) of the overall O&M Budget. Contributions toward unfunded liabilities (category C)
are another 14.8%. Salary, benefit, and Unfunded Actuarial Accrued Liability (UAAL) related costs are
73.8% of the O&M Budget. All other expenses (category D) comprise 26.2%.

A. O&M Salaries &Wages
Central San's budgeted salaries are $39.5 million in FY 2020-21, compared to $38.6 million in
FY 2019-20, representing an increase of$0.9 million, or 2.5%. The increase reflects the 2.9% salary
adjustment effective April 2020, and assumed salary adjustment effective April 2021 of 3.75% (the
actual adjustment will be based on the Bay Area Consumer Price Index change from February 2020
to February 2021), and step increases for newer employees. The vacancy factor of 3.25% is
unchanged from the prior year.
B. Benefits and Capitalized Overhead
Total benefits and capitalized labor decreased from $14.3 million in FY 2019-20 to $14 million in
FY2020-21, which are discussed as follows:

Total Active and Retiree Benefits $14,328,641 $13,996,173 ($332,468) (2.3%)
Benefits for active employees comprise healthcare costs, workers' compensation costs, payroll
taxes, normal costs for pension and OPEB costs, and benefit vacancy factor. These costs were
$16.4 million in the FY 2019-20 budget and rise to $16.6 million in the FY 2020-21 budget, which
represents a 1.2% increase.
• Previously, compensated absence payouts were included in this grouping, but have now been
moved to O&M salaries and wages.
• The transition to CalPERS for medical benefits for active and retired employees was completed
effective July 1, 2019, resulting in savings of approximately $5.5 million annually.
Changes in benefit cost assumptions are listed below. Given the timing of the budget process,
assumptions were made on program costs pending the availability of actual announced changes by
the providers. These assumed cost changes for budget purposes, and the actual cost changes
subsequently announced by the carriers, are discussed in the bullet points below.
• CaIPERS Medical— No rate increase for the six months starting July 2020 and a 7.25% rate increase
is assumed for the six months starting January 2021.
• CCCERA—The retirement normal cost contribution rate is decreasing 6.7%for legacy employees
and increasing 2.1%for Public Employees' Pension Reform Act employees.
• Delta Dental— No rate increase for the six months starting July 2020 and a 3.75% rate increase is
assumed for the six months starting January 2021.
57
May 18, 2020 Special FINANCE Committee Meeting Agenda Packet- Page 153 of 448
Page 60 of 352
• Vision — No rate increase for the six months starting July 2020 and a 3% rate increase is
assumed for the six months starting January 2021.
• Long-Term Disability— No rate increase for the six months starting July 2020 and a 3% rate
increase is assumed for the six months starting January 2021.
• Employee Assistance Program— No rate increase for the six months starting July 2020 and a 3%
rate increase is assumed for the six months starting January 2021.
• Workers' Compensation—A 10% rate increase was assumed for budget purposes. The actual
rates have not been finalized. No adjustments were made to the Experience Modification Factor
that adjusts the gross rate of the collective pool to the member agency.
• Life Insurance— No rate increase for the six months starting July 2020 and a 3% rate increase is
assumed for the six months starting January 2021.
The Capitalized Administrative Overhead rate, a credit given for capital work to the 0&M Budget
for non-work hours and overhead, changes from $4.4 million to $5.1 million in FY 2020-21,
representing an increasing effort on internal labor allocated to the Capital Budget.
Benefits for retirees, consisting of health, dental, life, and vision costs increase from $2.3 million in
FY 2019-20 to $2.4 million in FY2020-21.
C. Unfunded Liabilities
Central San has agreements with its employees to provide pension and post-employment
healthcare benefits. Central San prefunds the pension/benefits in accordance with actuarial
calculations that make certain economic and demographic assumptions. The goal is to grow these
prefunded amounts into enough assets to cover the liabilities arising from the promised
pension/benefits. An unfunded liability may occur when those economic/demographic
assumptions are not met, those assumptions are changed, and/or the level of pension/benefits is
adjusted.
Overall contributions toward unfunded liabilities increase from $12.4 million in FY 2019-20 to $13.4
million in FY 2020-21, representing an increase of$0.94 million, or 7.6%.
The pension unfunded liability expense to be paid to CCCERA is $12.1 million in FY 2020-21, which,
compared to the budget of$11.2 million in FY 2019-20, is an increase of$0.94 million, or 8.4%. The
UAAL payment does not yet reflect any impact on pension assets that the market downturn of
March 2020 may cause. If persisting through the December 2020 valuation, UAAL payments could
be impacted in FY 2021-22.
The budget also includes $1.25 million to be paid toward the unfunded liabilities for either pension
or OPEB obligations, to be determined by the Board during the fiscal year. This is a continuation of
the $1.25 million budgeted in FY 2019-20. To the extent that budget savings are available with the
completion of both FY 2019-20 and FY 2020-21, the Board may choose to direct part of the savings
toward additional unfunded liabilities funding.

D. All Other O&M Expenses
The remaining O&M non-labor expenses increase from 22.3 million in FY 2019-20 to $23.8 million
in FY 2020-21, an increase of 6.7%. Additional information is included in the individual division
budgets. The areas of most significant change include the following:
• Purchased Property Services—This expense category is reporting an increase of$1,850,833, or
41.3%, largely resulting from increases in repairs & maintenance and security services.
Increases in repairs & maintenance were largely attributable to new support and licensing costs
for the new state-of-the-art ERP system expected to "go live" July 1, 2020, as well as security
services being reclassified from the "Other Purchased Services" expense category pursuant to
the new ERP's revised chart of accounts. Finally, greatly expanded on-site security measures
will be necessary to counteract the significant increase in non-employee foot traffic on the
treatment plant premises in conjunction with large scale treatment plant improvement projects
planned next year.
• Other Purchased Services—This expense decreased by$112,755, or 1.8%, due to costs for
professional and technical services remaining steady overall with the increase in costs expected
from the 2020 election largely being offset by reclassifying security services under the
"Purchased Property Services" category pursuant to the new chart of accounts.
• Supplies & Materials—This expense increased marginally by$144,000, or 1.5%. Despite
increases in general supplies and utilities &fuel costs, these increases were largely offset by
savings realized in chemicals costs through the elimination of sodium hydroxide in the sewage
treatment process.
• Other Expenses—This expense decreased by $384,713, or 18.96%, reflecting a primarily caused
by a decreased allocation from the O&M fund to cover anticipated estimated loss payments,
legal services, and insurance premiums.
Technical Training, Conferences, & Meetings—These costs are included in the Other Expenses
category described previously and increased by $30,175, or 8%, due to increased technical
training for both new hires and succession planning efforts with existing staff. Table 8 shows a
breakdown of the budget in Technical Training, Conferences, & Meetings.

The substantial reduction in Administration costs is primarily related to the $4.3 million reduction in
retiree benefits, unfunded liabilities payments, and additional unfunded liabilities payment that are
budgeted in the Human Resources division.

Staffing, Salaries,and Benefits (Costs included in both O&M and Sewer Construction)
Total labor, benefit, and UAAL related costs increases by$3 million, or 4%, from $74.7 million in
FY 2019-20 to $77.8 million in FY 2020-21.
Total salaries and benefits for active employees are budgeted at $62 million in FY 2020-21, including
both the O&M Fund and the Sewer Construction Fund, compared to $60 million in FY 2019-20, a $2
million increase. Benefits for retirees are projected to be $2.4 million in FY 2020-21, compared to $2.3
million in FY 2019-20. Costs of unfunded liabilities for pension and OPEB (which relate to both active
employees and retirees) are $13.4 million, up from $12.4 million in FY 2019-20.
Major factors affecting overall salaries and benefits include the following:
• Cost of living adjustment of 2.9%, which is the primary component of the overall salary line item
increase of 3.4%. Other components include funding for step increases/promotions.
• Additional overtime of$0.2 million, an increase of 14%
• Adjustment in overall benefit costs of 1.8%
The following tables show various levels of detail regarding labor costs. Table 10 summarizes all
labor-related costs across two sub-funds. Additional tables in the Supplemental Financial Information
section at the end of this budget document provide additional detail about salary and benefit costs.

Staffing Changes
During 2015, a staffing and organizational study['] was completed for Central San. The study
recommended that Central San hire a consultant to conduct a classification study, which was
completed in 2017, to ensure that Central San's classification structure was appropriate, and
employees were working within their job classifications. The budget includes the cost of implementing
the recommendations of the study, as well as other changes to the classification structure that
Central San has deemed as operationally necessary. The FY 2020-21 Budget includes $200,000 in gross
wages and $106,000 for the benefit-related costs of implementing these potential changes.
Overall, staffing is at 293 positions, reflective of the 2015 Organization and Staffing Plan
recommendation, which recommended an additional four positions from the then 287 budgeted
positions. Additionally, two limited duration positions for the permit counter were approved during
FY 2019-20. The 293 staffing figure compares to 291 staff in the FY 2019-20 budget. As described
previously, several budgetary organizational units reported in the prior year were impacted by the
restructuring of Central San's chart of accounts as part of its planned implementation of a new ERP in
FY 2020-21. Some significant changes include: (1) splitting the previously-reported "Office of the
General Manager and Secretary of the District" into sub-units, (2) the creation of Director budgetary
organizational units overseeing each Department, and (3) the consolidation of Safety into Human
Resources. These changes did not impact the reporting structure of Central San or operations
generally but were intended to improve parent-child relationships in the new chart of accounts to
facilitate automated reporting in the new ERP system.
Report is available here: http://centralsan.org/documents/Organization_and_Staffing_Plan.pdf.
64
May 18, 2020 Special FINANCE Committee Meeting Agenda Packet- Page 160 of 448
Page 67 of 352
Excluding the impact of these structural changes that were largely inconsequential to reporting
structures and operations, reallocations of staffing between divisions and position changes within
divisions are summarized below:
• Creation of Engineering Assistant position (Planning & Development Services)
• Management Analyst transferred from the Office of the General Manager to Human Resources
• Engineering Assistant transferred from Planning & Development Services to the Director of
Engineering &Technical Services (Resource Recovery Program)
• Vacant Senior Buyer position repurposed to Buyer (Purchasing)
• Vacant Payroll Analyst position repurposed to Senior Administrative Technician (Human Resources)
• Vacant Utility Worker positions repurposed to Maintenance Crew Members (Collection System
Operations)
Capital Improvement Budget
Sewer Construction Fund revenues are projected to increase by $33.5 million, from $65.6 million in
FY 2019-20 to $99.1 million in FY 2020-21.
This increase is to cover an extensive CIP, the funding for which will generated through an increase in
SSC of$28.6 million, resulting from additional revenue available from the 5.25% system average rate
increase effective July 1, 2020, and a significantly larger allocation of the SSC to Capital versus 0&M.
The City of Concord reimbursement increases $3.7 million due to increased cost-based reimbursement.
This relates to Concord's flow proportionate share of treatment plant, recycled water and general
improvement components of the capital budget. Additionally, $3 million of borrowing from the State
Revolving Fund is anticipated to fund the Solids Handling Facilities Improvements Project in
FY 2020-21.
The $88 million budget does not include the anticipated carryforward from FY 2019-20, which will be
communicated to the Board after the close of the current fiscal year. The $21.8 million increase, or
33%, in budgeted spending is a significant step toward the increased capital spending that will be
taking place for the next several years as shown in the Ten-Year CIP presented later in this document.
Central San will contribute approximately $14.1 million to capital reserves during FY 2020-21 revenues
exceeding expenditures by that amount. Funding the Sewer Construction Fund (Capital Improvement)
Working Capital Reserves exceeds the requirement of the aforementioned Board Policy No. BP 017 -
Fiscal Reserves. These and prior year contributions to the Sewer Construction Reserve allow for
smoothing of rate requirements to accommodate the significant ramp-up of expenditures that is
continuing in the next several years, with peak capital spending anticipated to reach $110 million in FY
2021-22.
Table 13 below is a summary of the projected FY 2020-21 Sewer Construction Fund revenues and
expenditures. Further details are included in the Capital Improvement Program section.

Impact of Capital Improvement Budget on Ongoing Operations &Maintenance Budget
Central San's Capital Improvement Budget and the extent to which FY 2020-21 nonrecurring capital
investments will affect the proposed or future years' operating budget are described later in this
document. In general, given the nature and composition of the FY 2020-21 Capital Improvement
Budget, these effects are minimal. To the extent that future capital projects could have more
substantial impacts (e.g., additional personnel costs, additional maintenance costs, or additional utility
costs or, conversely, anticipated savings such as reduced utility costs or lower maintenance costs) such
costs would be specified further in the year such projects are budgeted.

Reserve Projections
Board Policy No. BP 017 - Fiscal Reserves sets targets for each of Central San's reserve funds. Fiscal
reserves provide working capital for O&M activities; funding for long-term capital improvement
requirements; fulfillment of legal, regulatory, and contractual obligations; mitigation of risk and liability
exposures; and cash flow emergencies. These reserves were fully funded as of FY 2018-19 but are
adjusted annually based on changes in the targeted balance calculation.
• For the O&M Fund (Working capital reserves) —The Board has set a target of five months (41.7%)
of gross operating expenses at the start of each fiscal year.
• For the Sewer Construction Fund (Working capital reserves)—The Board has set a target of 50% of
the annual Capital Improvement Budget at the start of each fiscal year, excluding capital projects
that are to be funded with bond proceeds.
• For the Self Insurance Fund (SIF) Reserves—The Board has set a target of three times the annual
deductible, $1.5 million. In addition, to help mitigate financial impacts and maintain uninterrupted
service in the event of an emergency or catastrophic event, Central San maintains an Emergency
Fund Reserve balance of
$5 million in the SIF.
Table 14 presents a summary of Central San's current reserve balance projections compared to the
Board Policy targets. The reserve levels are projected to be above the policy-required levels on
June 30, 2020 and 2021. The FY 2020-21 revenue requirement relies on a $10.5 million net use of the
reserve balances:
• The reduction in the O&M reserve is related to higher than policy specified funding in the reserve
at June 30, 2019, anticipated favorable variances for FY 2019-20, and a redefinition of reserve
balance to include non-cash & investment balance sheet accounts (see discussion below).
• The increase in the Sewer Construction reserve relates to the anticipated increase in Capital
Improvement Budget spending in subsequent years, and planned use of cash in those years.
• The reduction in the Self-Insurance Fund reserve is related to higher than required funding in the
reserve at June 30, 2020, due to lower claims expenses in the current fiscal year.
During FY 2019-20, staff completed an assessment of the calculation of the O&M and Sewer
Construction Reserves and proposed certain adjustments which were reflected in an updated BP 017.
Previously, the reserves were calculated simply as cash and investment balances. It was recognized
that certain accrual related adjustments were necessary to in certain instances to reflect a true reserve
balance available for use. The revised definition is used in the calculation of projected reserves shown
in Table 14.
The projected amounts are subject to change based on actual financial results for the current and next
fiscal years.

Also provided on Table 14 is a projection of the Rate Stabilization Account, Pension Trust fund, and
OPEB trust fund. Assumptions include:
• Rate Stabilization Fund Reserve Account: No additional deposits or earnings on the account. The
Board may instead direct a portion of the FY 2019-20 year-end closeout to this account.
• Pension Prefunding Trust Fund: The projected balance as of June 30, 2020 assumes a 10% decline
in value due to adverse returns. The $1.25 million budgeted in FY 2020-21 towards employee
related liabilities is deposited here. The Board could instead direct that amount to the OPEB Trust.
• OPEB Trust Fund: The projected balance as of June 30, 2020 assumes a 10% decline in value due to
adverse returns. No additional deposits or earnings on the account in FY 2020-21.

Long-Term Spending Trend
Figure 10 shows a long-term trend line of past O&M expenditures, while Figure 11 shows a
long-term trend line of past capital expenditures. The O&M Budget was held essentially flat for a total
of six years (from FY 2014-15 to FY 2019-20). FY 2020-21 provides for an increase of just 2.2% above
the six-year average of the preceding 0&M budgets. Spending in FY 2020-21 is consistent with the
financial plan which recognizes certain inflationary pressures.

Budget Modifications and Contributions to Key Priorities
As described in the Financial Summary section of the budget book previously, as part of the
implementation of a new ERP system and revised chart of accounts, new org units were established for
improved reporting purposes. In prior budgets, costs associated with the Office of the General
Manager functions were reported within a consolidated cost center titled "Office of the General
Manager and Office of the Secretary of the District." This budgetary org unit reported costs for the
Board of Directors, the Office of the General Manager, the Office of the Secretary of the District as well
as the office of the Director of Finance & Administration. Beginning in FY 2020-21, each of these four
previously consolidated cost centers has been separated.
The Office of the General Manager's budget for FY 2020-21 is $1.5 million, a $155,000 or 11.5%
increase over the $1.3 million budget in FY 2019-20, as restated. This increase is primarily attributable
to transferring the Internal Auditor position from the Finance Division in the prior year to the Office of
the General Manager in FY 2020-21 to reflect the reporting relationship of that position. Salaries &
Wages include the agency-wide cost-of-living adjustment and increases due to step advancements.
Benefits increased due to a lower vacancy factor, offset by lower premiums for the new medical plans.
The Office of the General Manager leads the effort to address all key priorities facing Central San, as
described in the General Manager's Message.

Office of the Deputy General Manager
OVERVIEW
The Deputy General Manager oversees the Operations Department, Administration Department, and
the HR (which now includes Safety) Division. The Office of the Deputy General Manager assists the
General Manager in the general day-to-day administration of Central San and provides resources and
support to ensure the successes outlined in the sections of the HR/Safety, IT, Finance, Purchasing and
Materials Services, Communication Services and Intergovernmental Relations, Risk Management
Divisions, and the Operations Department.
Major accomplishments include progress made on the Classification Study, the publication of the
FY 2018-19 Strategic Plan Annual Report, and the update of the Strategic Plan to reflect the next two
years of priorities and challenges. The Deputy General Manager continues to serve as a key advisor on
several large-scale projects, such as the Enterprise Resource Planning Replacement and Solids Handling
Facility Improvements Projects. On a regular basis, the Deputy General Manager also helps oversee
succession planning, financial planning, and labor relations efforts.
Because the Deputy General Manager also serves as the Director of Operations, the Office of the
Deputy General Manager does not have a separate budget. The strategic accomplishments for the
Office of the Deputy General Manager are reflected in the Office of the General Manager and
Administration Departments.

Budget Modifications and Contributions to Key Priorities
As described previously, as part of the implementation of a new ERP system and revised chart of
accounts, new org units were established for improved reporting purposes. In prior budgets, costs
associated with the Office of the Secretary of the District were reported within a consolidated cost
center titled "Office of the General Manager and Office of the Secretary of the District." This
budgetary org unit reported costs for the Board of Directors, the Office of the General Manager, the
Office of the Secretary of the District as well as the office of the Director of Finance & Administration.
Beginning in FY 2020-21, each of these four previously consolidated cost centers have been separated.

Board of Directors
OVERVIEW
The Board is a five-member governing body which represents the needs and interests of Central San's
customers. It provides oversight to Central San by setting policy direction; establishing governing
ordinances and rules; ensuring accountability; providing resources; bargaining collectively with unions;
managing Executive Management staff; and attending to lawsuits, real estate acquisitions, and high-

Budget Modifications and Contributions to Key Priorities
As described previously, as part of the implementation of a new ERP system and revised chart of
accounts, certain modifications were made to budgetary org units for improved reporting purposes.
Beginning in FY 2020-21, costs of the Safety division are being consolidated within the Human
Resources Division as this function is an entity-wide support service. In prior budgets, costs associated
with the Safety division were reported as a Division within Central San's Operation's Department.
The Human Resources Operating Budget for FY 2020-21 is $8.96 million, a $400,000 or 4.7% increase
over the $8.56 million budget in FY 2019-20, as restated. Salaries & Wages include the agency-wide
cost-of-living adjustment and anticipated employee step increases. The increase in this division is
89
May 18, 2020 Special FINANCE Committee Meeting Agenda Packet- Page 185 of 448
Page 92 of 352
largely attributable to labor-related costs for the transfer of a Management Analyst position from the
Office of the General Manager effective FY 2020-21.
Certain costs relating to all Central San employees or retirees are centrally budgeted in the
Human Resources Division. The following are items budgeted in Human Resources but not specific to
that division:
• Salaries & Wages includes $375,000 for Compensated Absences Accrual Payments and $475,000
for Accrued Compensated Absences
• Employee Benefits includes $25,000 for Unemployment Expenses.
• The Normal Cost as well as unfunded actuarial accrued liability (UAAL) attributable to Central San's
Other Post Employment Benefit (OPEB) plans are reported solely within this Division. OPEB
benefits offered include health, dental, life, and vision benefits. Every two years management
engages an actuary to calculate Central San's Actuarially Determined Contribution (ADC) to ensure
adequate funding levels of the plan over the long run. The ADC is further broken down between a
"Normal Cost" component, attributable to current active employees, and a "UAAL" component
attributable largely to unfunded retiree costs. Accordingly, in an effort to improve transparency,
financial planning and financial reporting, the budgeted cost of retiree health premiums is now split
between its normal and UAAL cost components in accordance with the independently calculated
ADC. In FY 2020-21, the total budgeted cost of retiree health premiums is $4.092 million, reflecting
a modest increase (2.2%) from the $4.001 million budgeted in the prior year.
• Unfunded Liabilities also includes the costs for supplemental pension and OPEB trust payments.
This account description includes payments to the OPEB trust to meet the annual ADC amount in
full in years where retiree benefit premiums falls short of the ADC. Beginning in FY 2019-20, the
new medical plans have reduced the ADC so low that Central San's pay-as-you-go retiree premiums
are now higher than its ADC. Accordingly, there is no required OPEB trust payment to fully satisfy
the ADC in FY 2020-21.
Human Resources plays an important role in meeting the overall challenges that Central San is
addressing by working to retain an engaged, motivated and safe workforce. This includes
administering the employee performance review and performance planning process; administering the
labor memoranda of understanding; attracting and retaining talented employees through a
competitive pay and benefit structure; providing training programs to ensure that Central San
managers, supervisors and employees have the tools and knowledge to contribute to a
high-performance organization; and providing oversight of the safety function.

Office of the Director of Finance &Administration
OVERVIEW
The Director of Finance &Administration oversees Communication Services and Intergovernmental
Relations, Finance, Purchasing and Materials Services, Information Technology, and Risk Management.
In FY 2019-20, much of the work under this office revolved around the replacement of the ERP
software, which has run Central San's core business processes since 1993. A significant District-wide
staff effort resulted in the implementation of the first stages of the new software system, including the
Core Human Resources in the fourth quarter of FY 2019-20, and preparing for a go-live of the Core
Financial modules in the first quarter of FY 2020-21. Information Technology and Engineering staff
coordinated on the implementation of a new permitting system and successfully integrated
engineering project management software. Other important work included advancements in advocacy
efforts and student education programs, a new intranet for improved internal communication abilities,
continued prudent funding of unfunded liabilities and Other Post-Employment Benefits, improvement
of internal controls, and enhancements to purchasing practices. The coordination of the response to
the COVID-19 pandemic was also performed within the Office of the Director of Finance &
Administration.
The FY 2019-20 Strategic Accomplishments and performance against the key metrics, as well as the
FY 2020-21 Strategic Objectives, for the Director of Finance & Administration are embedded within the
sections of the individual divisions and programs overseen by the Director.

Budget Modifications and Contributions to Key Priorities
As described previously in the Financial Summary section, as part of the implementation of a new ERP
system and revised chart of accounts, new org units were established for Director functions overseeing
each department of Central San. In prior budgets, costs associated with Department Director functions
were reported within one of the child divisions of the overarching parent department. In the case of
the Office of the Director of Finance & Administration, prior year budget costs associated with this
function were previously reported within the Offices of the General Manager and Secretary of the
District.
The Office of the Director of Finance & Administration Operating Budget for FY 2020-21 is $0.6 million,
a $0.1 million or 16% decrease over the $0.7 million budget in FY 2019-20, as restated. This reduction
is largely attributable to a significant decrease in the unfunded liabilities expenses caused by this cost
center's dis-aggregation from the former "Offices of the General Manager and Secretary of the
District" org unit as well as a decrease in the required employer contribution rate to CCCERA. Salaries
& Wages include the agency-wide cost-of-living adjustment and increases due to step advancements.

Budget Modifications and Contributions to Key Priorities
The Finance Division Operating Budget for FY 2020-21 is $2.26 million, which represents a reduction of
$153,000 (6.3%) from the $2.41 million budget in FY 2019-20. Salaries & Wages include the
agency-wide cost-of-living adjustment, increases due to step advancements, offset by reductions due
to attrition and lower costs for new employees. The decrease in the budget for Salaries & Wages is
driven largely by the transfer of a Temporary Senior Internal Auditor position (previously included in
the Finance Division's FY 2019-20 budget) to the Office of the General Manager. The overall net
reduction in Other Purchased Services category is a result of reduced temporary staffing needs
anticipated with the new ERP expected to "go-live" July 1, 2020, immediately preceding the start of
FY 2020-21.
Finance supports Central San by providing transparent financial information and works, in conjunction
with the Planning & Development Services Division, to provide the rate and debt funding to address
the principal issues facing Central San. The division plays a significant role in specifying the costs of
Central San's functions, how those costs drive the need for rate adjustments, and in developing
financial alternatives to keep rates moderated over the long term through financing approaches. This
data is used to document why spending is necessary and that rate levels are no more than necessary to
meet essential needs, provide for long-term reliability, and ensure appropriate levels of customer
service. Finance will continue working with other divisions to implement various modules of the new
Oracle Cloud Fusion ERP, as part of the ERP System Replacement Project.

Budget Modifications and Contributions to Key Priorities
The Information Technology Division Operating Budget for FY 2020-21 is $4.53 million, an increase of
$434,000 (10.6%) over the $4.09 million budget in FY 2019-20. The increase in Salaries & Wages
includes the agency-wide cost-of-living adjustment and increases due to step and personnel
advancements. Increases in Repairs & Maintenance are largely attributable to new support and
licensing costs related to the new Oracle Cloud ERP and permitting system expected to "go live" in
FY 2020-21. The reduction in Technical Services budgeted was a result of the drone security program
budgeted in the prior year being dropped as not being feasible prospectively, upon further research.

Budget Modifications and Contributions to Key Priorities
The Purchasing and Materials Services Division Operating Budget for FY 2020-21 is $2.0 million, which
represents a 5% reduction compared to the $2.1 million budget in FY 2019-20. Salaries & Wages
include the agency-wide cost-of-living adjustment. The overall budgetary reduction is primarily a result
of a Senior Buyer position budgeted in the prior year being reduced to a lower-level Buyer position for
a new hire expected in FY 2020-21, and other miscellaneous reductions. The reduction in Technical
Services resulted from the elimination of a temporary warehouse position next year.
The division is helping to address the overall challenges facing Central San by working to ensure there
are sufficient procurement processing capacity in light of increased contracting for infrastructure
needs. FY 2020-21 will see Purchasing working to implement the new ERP software, which is
anticipated to significantly improve contract management and automated procurement functionality,
in addition to providing staff with better tools for productivity and internal customer service.

Budget Modifications and Contributions to Key Priorities
The Risk Management Operating Budget for FY 2020-21 is $1.63 million, reflecting a $239,000 or 13%
decrease from the $1.87 million budget in FY 2019-20. Salaries & Wages include the agency-wide
cost-of-living adjustment and increases due to step advancements. Insurance & Risk Management
contributions to properly replenish the Self-Insurance Fund were notably lower than the prior year
budget following favorable loss results expected for FY 2019-20. The new chart of accounts
implemented as part of the ERP Replacement Project resulted in the reclassification of security
services, previously budgeted under Technical Services, to a new Security line item under the
"Purchased Property Services" category.
Risk Management assists Central San in effectively managing risks, broadly defined as anything that can
impede Central San from meeting its strategic goals. Building this program's capacity will be an
important tool in helping Central San mitigate risks as the agency ramps up the level of capital
spending in the coming years, and in meeting evolving regulatory requirements. Risk Management
helps Central San meet these and other challenges of the environment in which the agency operates.

OVERVIEW
The Director of Engineering and Technical Services oversees the Resource Recovery Program and the
Capital Projects, Environmental and Regulatory Compliance, and Planning and Development Services
Divisions. Staff from these divisions make significant contributions to the Recycled Water Program
discussed in the Operations Department section of this document.
Major accomplishments of the Office of the Director of Engineering and Technical Services span from
making important infrastructure upgrades to providing exceptional customer service through
innovative recycled water, household hazardous waste (HHW), and pharmaceutical collection
programs. This office was responsible for replacing five miles of pipes in Walnut Creek, Lafayette, and
Orinda with a 96% customer satisfaction rating; retrofitting the Plant Operations Building to meet
seismic standards; constructing a new Data Center to protect information technology equipment;
remodeling the Headquarters Office Building Lobby to be more customer friendly; beginning to pilot a
new permitting system; integrating project management software into the new ERP software with the
help of the IT Division; and preventing 1,577,000 pounds of HHW from entering local waterways
through collection at the HHW Collection Facility. This year also saw the formation of a new Central
San Smart initiative, which will drive the use of data to perform system-wide optimizations to make
Central San a more efficient operation. The Asset Management Program overseen by this office
continues to develop innovative tools such as the GIS Emergency Response Dashboard and Reliability
Engineering Tool.
The FY 2019-20 Strategic Accomplishments and performance against the key metrics, as well as the
FY 2020-21 Strategic Objectives, for the Director of Engineering and Technical Services are embedded
within the sections of the individual divisions and programs overseen by the Director, with the
exception of the Resource Recovery Program, whose accomplishments, performance, and objectives
are listed within this section, since the program operates directly within the budget of the Office of
the Director.
The Office of the Director of Engineering and Technical Services' staffing budget includes the
administrative staff supporting the Director of Engineering and Technical Services and the Resource
Recovery Program staff.
The Resource Recovery Program operates directly within the budget of the Office of the Director of

Budget Modifications and Contributions to Key Priorities - Office of the Director of
Engineering and Technical Services (including Resource Recovery Program)
As described previously in the Financial Summary section of the budget book, as part of its
implementation of a new ERP system and revised chart of accounts, new org units were established for
director functions overseeing each department of Central San. In prior budgets, costs associated with
Department Director functions were reported within one of the child divisions of the overarching
parent department. For the Office of the Director of Engineering and Technical Services (including
Resource Recovery), prior year budget costs were previously reported within the Planning and
Development Services Division. While prior year columns in the budget table above were largely
restated for this change, certain adjustments occurred prospectively.
The Office of the Director of Engineering and Technical Services Budget for FY 2020-21 is $1.13 million,
a $517,000 or 84% increase over the $616,000 budget in FY 2019-20, as restated. This increase is
primarily attributable to transferring costs associated with the Resource Recovery Program as well as
certain administrative support staff from the Planning and Development Services Division in the prior
year. Salaries & Wages includes the agency-wide cost-of-living adjustment as well as increases due to
step advancements.

Budget Modifications and Contributions to Key Priorities
The Capital Projects Operating Budget for FY 2020-21 is $883,000, a $427,000 or 94% increase over the
$456,000 budget in FY 2019-20. Salaries & Wages include the agency-wide cost-of-living adjustment as
well as increases due to step advancements, largely offset by additional time being charged to work for
capital projects. This division's overall budgetary increase is mainly attributable to a newly budgeted
item for on-site security measures that will be necessary to counteract the significant increase in
non-employee foot traffic on the treatment plant premises in conjunction with large-scale treatment
plant improvement projects planned next year such as the Solids Handling Facility Improvements
Project.
The Capital Projects Division leads Central San's efforts in maintaining and upgrading aging
infrastructure, as well as implementing projects driven by the need to meet evolving regulatory
requirements. This division also oversees projects related to other strategic priorities of Central San,
including playing a role in maintaining a sustainable water supply and executing projects related to
resource recovery. The division is building its capacities to effectively administer a significantly larger
Capital Improvement Program in future years. This includes implementing a program management
information system and using outside resources to supplement Central San staff.
As noted in the footnote to the Budget Overview table, most of the cost for staff in this division are
charged to the projects that the group oversees and manages.

Budget Modifications and Contributions to Key Priorities
The Planning and Development Services Division's Operating Budget for FY 2020-21 is $7.4 million,
reflecting an increase of approximately $284,000 (4%) over the prior year budget of$7.2 million in
FY 2019-20. Salaries & Wages include the agency-wide cost-of-living adjustment, increases due to step
advancements, as well as the addition of two new General Manager transitional positions necessary
for succession planning purposes and to assist at the permit counter during the new ERP
Implementation Project. The increase of these two transitional positions is accompanied by a
reduction in Technical Services.
The Planning and Development Services Division's budget allows Central San to meet several key
challenges including maintaining customer awareness of Central San's services, the costs involved in
meeting those responsibilities, and meeting service level expectations at responsible rates. This is
accomplished through the division's work in maintaining the financial plan and rate-setting, by
balancing the objectives of setting rates to fund important priorities for Central San, while keeping rate
adjustments moderated and no higher than necessary.

Operations Department
The Operations Department consists of three divisions and the Recycled Water Program. The Recycled
Water Program consists of staff from multiple departments. The primary function of the Operations
Department is to collect, clean, and dispose of wastewater in compliance with regulatory
requirements, and to divert a portion of the wastewater to produce Title 22 recycled water. This
includes operations and maintenance of pipelines, pumping stations, and treatment facilities; oversight
of power generation operations; fleet maintenance; and managing computerized control equipment
and systems.
The Divisions that comprise this Department include the following:
• Director of Operations
• Collection System Operations
• Plant Maintenance

Office of the Director of Operations
OVERVIEW
The Director of Operations serves as the Deputy General Manager and oversees the Collection System
Operations, Plant Maintenance, and Plant Operations Divisions. The Director is responsible for
providing these divisions with the resources and guidance needed to fulfill their missions.
Major accomplishments include achievement of a steadily decreasing sewer overflow rate; the 22nd
consecutive NACWA Platinum Peak Award, recognizing 100% compliance with Central San's
wastewater discharge permit; and a continually growing reliability-centered maintenance program.
With only 18 sanitary sewer overflows recorded as of March 31, Central San could potentially set a
new record low for overflows, thanks in large part to Collection System Operations' diligent and
optimized cleaning schedules and methods. Plant Operations maintained its compliance record while
working with Engineering to plan for large-scale capital improvements. Maintenance continues to add
trainings and certifications for staff, implement testing programs to monitor equipment, and integrate
data through technology tools, all to ensure that assets are optimally maintained to extend their
useful life as long as possible. In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, under the direction of the
Director of Operations, Operations staff as a whole acted quickly to implement safety measures to
protect its essential employees and continued service with no interruption.
The FY 2019-20 Strategic Accomplishments and performance against the key metrics, as well as the
FY 2020-21 Strategic Objectives, for the Director of Operations are embedded within the sections of
the individual divisions and programs overseen by the Director.
This office's staffing budget includes the administrative staff supporting the Deputy General
Manager/Director of Operations.

Budget Modifications and Contributions to Key Priorities
As described previously in the Financial Summary section of the budget book, as part of its
implementation of a new ERP system and revised functions chart of accounts, new org units were
established for Director functions overseeing each department of Central San. In prior budgets, costs
associated with Department Director functions were reported within one of the child divisions of the
overarching parent department. In the case of the Office of the Director of Operations, prior year
budget costs associated with this function were previously reported within the Plant Operations
Division of the Operations Department. While prior year columns in the budget table above were
largely restated for this change, certain adjustments occurred prospectively.
The Office of the Director of Operations Budget for FY 2020-21 is approximately$1.04 million, a
$485,000 or 88% increase over the $551,000 budget in FY 2019-20, as restated. This increase is
primarily attributable to transferring costs associated with administrative support for the Plant
Operations Division to the Office of the Director of Operations in FY 2020-21 to better reflect the actual
reporting hierarchy of Central San's current organizational chart. As reflected in the Personnel
Requirements table, several support positions were transferred to this divisional cost center in
FY 2020-21. Salaries & Wages includes the agency-wide cost-of-living adjustment as well as increases
due to step advancements.

Budget Modifications and Contributions to Key Priorities
The Collection System Operations Operating Budget for FY 2020-21 is $14.9 million, a marginal
$116,000 or 1.1% increase over the $14.8 million budget in FY 2019-20. While this operational
division's budget largely remained steady, the overall net increase was primarily driven by increases in
known labor-related costs. Growth in Salaries & Wages includes the agency-wide cost-of-living
adjustment as well as increases due to step advancements. The increase in Cleaning Services is almost
entirely the result of an account reclassification of uniform cleaning services following the
implementation of a new ERP and chart of accounts. Uniform cleaning services were previously
reported under General Supplies, which is reporting an offsetting budgetary reduction in FY 2020-21.

Budget Modifications and Contributions to Key Priorities
The Plant Operations Budget provides Central San staff the resources necessary to continue to meet or
exceed regulatory requirements and optimize operations to work cost effectively. The Plant
Operations Operating Budget for FY 2020-21 is $13.8 million, a $0.6 million or 4% reduction over the
$14.1 million budgeted in FY 2019-20. This decrease, reflected primarily in labor-related line items, is
attributable to transferring costs associated with administrative support for the Plant Operations
Division to the Office of the Director of Operations in FY 2020-21 to better reflect the actual reporting
hierarchy of Central San's current organizational chart. As reflected in the Personnel Requirements
table, several support positions were transferred out of this divisional cost center in FY 2020-21.
Salaries & Wages include the agency-wide cost-of-living adjustment as well as increases due to step
advancements. Chemicals decreased due to the elimination of sodium hydroxide in the treatment
process in FY 2020-21. Utilities & Fuel increased due to an increase in capacity held on site due to
PG&E Public Safety Power Shutoff(PSPS) concerns.

Recycled Water Program
OVERVIEW
The Recycled Water Program is a reflection of Central San's continued efforts to utilize the valuable
resources available in treated wastewater to supplement the region's water supply. Central San began
to separately track the Recycled Water Program financials in FY 2016-17, and staff continues to work to
accurately budget the anticipated expenses and revenues. This program draws resources from several
divisions to provide support for the production and distribution of recycled water to Zone 1
commercial and municipal customers through pipelines, construction contractors through hydrants
and a truck fill station, and residential customers through the Residential Fill Station operated out of
the Household Hazardous Waste Collection Facility. This program also includes planning and
regulatory support for the existing system and planned expansions, including the Refinery Recycled
Water Exchange Project and the Concord Community Reuse Project (the redevelopment of the
Concord Naval Weapons Station).

Budget Modifications and Contributions to Key Priorities
The Recycled Water Program Operating Budget for FY 2020-21 is $1.47 million, which is reduced 8.5%
compared to the $1.61 million budget in FY 2019-20. Utilities increased due to rising electrical
expenses in the treatment plant. Outside Services increased due to the need for technical services for
process support services. Materials & Supplies increased due to meter replacements and in-house
repair supplies.
The Recycled Water Program helps Central San address several of the challenges presented by the
environment in which it operates. These challenges include the need for all water sector agencies in
the arid west to play a role in maintaining a sustainable water supply, with recent drought experiences,
and the continuing effects of climate change. The program also addresses the increased focus on
resource recovery in the wastewater industry.

The above Recycled Water Revenue Summary table contains additional rows as compared to the table
presented in the FY 2019-20 budget book, representing an attempt to match all expenses to revenues
(whether true revenues, or ascribed). Recycled water rates charged to customers have not increased
with budgeted costs, but instead have been inflated by 3% annually in recent years. Accordingly, the
large increase in budgeted costs for FY 2020-21, primarily due to capital improvements, does not mean
that recycled water rates will be increased in that proportion.
Regarding the FY 2020-21 Budget Revenue figures noted above, the $420,000 Zone 1 Revenue is
entirely allocated to O&M (see Table 5 in Financial Summary). The $3,329,465 City of Concord
Reimbursement is contained within the $15,760,000 for O&M (see Table 5 in Financial Summary) and
$15,300,000 for Capital (see Table 11 in Financial Summary). The $62,000 Satellite Reimbursement is
contained within the $347,000 Other Revenues (see Table 5 in Financial Summary). The remaining
costs are Wastewater Costs and included in the Sewer Service Charge.

Self-Insurance Program
Central San has self-insured a portion of its liability and property risks since July 1, 1986, when the
Board approved the establishment of the Self-Insurance Fund (SIF). Central San currently self-insures
general and auto liability risks up to $500,000 per occurrence and purchases a $15 million excess
liability insurance policy above that retention.
At this time, Central San does not purchase insurance coverage for earthquake or flood losses because
insurance programs currently available in California are very expensive for the scope and limits of
coverage provided. As a result, Central San self-insures these risks.
Fund Allocation
In 1994, the Government Accounting Standards Board issued statement No. 10 (GASB-10) which
established requirements on how public agencies must fund their self-insured risks. To ensure
compliance with GASB-10, Central San restructured the SIF into three sub-funds. Each of the three
sub-funds was established to pay for specific losses and expenses. In FY 2015-16, Sub-Fund B was
retired and funds for its risks were transferred to Sub-Fund C.
Table 1 presents a recent financial history and projection of the SIF and shows the FY 2020-21
SIF Budget. The SIF revenue for FY 2020-21 is projected to be $582,050, and expenses are projected to
be $1,153,500, resulting in closing net SIF reserves of$6,501,216. The budgeted revenues include the
allocation of$450,000 from the FY 2020-21 Operations and Maintenance (0&M) Fund to the SIF, which
is reduced from prior years given the projected overfunded position of the self-insurance fund above
the required level of$6.5 million for FY 2019-20.
Sub-Fund A:Actuarially-Based Risks
Sub-Fund A is used to pay general liability and auto liability claims and expenses within Central San's
self-insured retention. Claims in excess of this retention are covered by a liability excess insurance
policy that renews annually on July 1.
Under the requirements of GASB 10, risks that can be actuarially studied must be funded based on an
actuarial study performed at least every two years. General liability and automobile liability risks are
readily studied throughout the insurance and self-insurance industry to project funding levels for
future losses. Central San obtained an actuarial review of its self-insured general liability and
automobile liability losses in September 2018. The next actuarial report will be performed in
August 2020 using loss data through June 30, 2020.
The Board established a policy to maintain the Sub-Fund A reserve at three times the amount of
Central San's self-insured retention. Thus, the current $500,000 retention requires a $1.5 million
reserve. This reserve is used to pay claims and expenses throughout the year and is replenished the
following fiscal year.
Table 2 shows budgeted revenue for FY 2020-21 of$24,900 with expenses of$415,000, for a decrease
of$390,100. This amount will be transferred from Sub-Fund C in order to maintain the minimum
reserve at $1.5 million.
153
May 18, 2020 Special FINANCE Committee Meeting Agenda Packet- Page 249 of 448
Page 156 of 352
Sub-Fund B: Non-Actuarially-Based Risks
Sub-Fund B has been retired and all reserves for these risks were transferred to Sub-Fund C in
FY 2015-16.
Sub-Fund C: Non-GASB-10 Risks
Sub-Fund C has historically covered the Risk Management Program expenses including insurance
premiums, self-insured property losses, potential losses from uninsurable risks, and the costs of
initiating claims and lawsuits against others. As noted above, this fund now includes reserves for
non-GASB-10 risks and catastrophic losses.
The Board established a policy to maintain this reserve at $5 million. This reserve is used to pay claims
and expenses throughout the year and is replenished the following fiscal year. This fund also receives
the annual O&M contribution and then re-allocates funds needed to maintain the required reserve in
Sub-Fund A.
Table 3 shows budgeted revenue for FY 2020-21 of$557,150, which includes a transfer from the O&M
Fund of$450,000. The budgeted ending balance for FY 2019-20 is slightly above the policy required
level of$5 million.

Capital Improvement Program
OVERVIEW
Central San funds an extensive Capital Improvement Program (CIP) designed to preserve, maintain, and
enhance Central San's assets, meet regulatory requirements, accommodate the community's needs,
and protect public health and the environment. Capital improvements are construction or renovation
activities that add value to Central San's fixed assets (pipelines, buildings, facilities, and equipment) or
significantly extend their useful life.
Capital Expenditures Definition
Capital expenditures are cash outlays by Central San that result in the acquisition or construction of a
capital asset. A capital asset is any asset of significant value, over$5,000, that has a useful life
expectancy of one year or more. Examples of capital assets include treatment plant renovations,
collection system sewer replacements, equipment replacements, vehicle acquisitions, buildings, and
land. Land is always considered a capital asset, regardless of value. All capital assets and
improvements acquired or constructed are included in the CIP.
Capital Improvement Program Process
Annually, Central San updates its Ten-Year Capital Improvement Plan (Ten-Year CIP). The CIP identifies
and prioritizes capital projects needed to accomplish Central San's Strategic Plan and provides the
basis for project scheduling, staffing, and long-range financial planning. The CIP also serves as the
framework for rate setting and decisions based on planned expenditures. The CIP undergoes several
levels of review by Central San as detailed in the Ten-Year CIP Section. Once a project is determined to
be necessary, usually based on operational or maintenance needs or condition assessments, the
project is listed in the Capital Improvement Budget (CIB). In addition, new or rescheduled projects may
occur during any given year due to urgent requirements or unforeseen circumstances. These projects
are referred to as new or contingency projects and are included in the CIB as needed.
The CIB provides a detailed presentation of the estimated budget needed for the first year of the
Ten-Year CIP beginning on July 1 and ending on June 30, referred to as a fiscal year. Since most capital
projects take longer than a year to complete, future years are presented and estimated to predict the
potential budget appropriation for the current projects. The CIB includes expenditures for the
planning, design, and construction of capital projects and is categorized in four programs: Collection
System,Treatment Plant, General Improvements, and Recycled Water. All CIB projects are reviewed
and prioritized yearly, especially as projects are refined during the predesign phase, which includes
comprehensive condition assessments. The CIB also includes two types of contingency funding of
capital projects. The first, project contingency, is determined at the time of award of any project. The
second, CIB contingency, can be used in any program and is intended to cover contingency projects
and potential budget overruns. By adopting the CIB, the Board of Directors (Board) authorizes staff to
pursue work on the identified projects in all four programs with firm individual project budgets. In
addition, any previously approved budget may carry forward to the current fiscal year. Staff reports to
the Board the final CIB expenditures after the end of each fiscal year and updates the Board
Engineering and Operations Committee on the status of the CIP.
161
May 18, 2020 Special FINANCE Committee Meeting Agenda Packet- Page 257 of 448
Page 164 of 352
Capital Revenue
The CIP is funded by the Sewer Construction Fund's fees and charges listed below which are discussed
in detail in the Financial Summary.
• Capacity Fees • Interest
• Pumped Zone Fees • Sewer Service Charges
• Property Taxes • Reimbursement from Others
While Central San generally follows a pay-as-you-go philosophy, Sewer Service Charge rate increases
can be mitigated by utilizing the Clean Water State Revolving Fund Program which offers low cost
financing for a wide variety of water quality projects to spread the payment over time. This is
anticipated for FY 2020-21.
Capital Improvement Budget Project Prioritization
The projects included in the FY 2020-21 CIB have been prioritized to ensure the best use of available
and approved funds. Each project was evaluated using a prioritization scoring system that includes
input from stakeholders within the Operations and Engineering Departments. The prioritization
scoring system uses existing Central San prioritization strategies, including guidelines developed by the
Water Environment & Reuse Foundation and prioritization procedures from the National Association of
Clean Water Agencies' member agencies.
Each project is assigned a priority ranking of Critical, Very High, High, or Medium based on the
project's score. The criteria used to develop the scores take into consideration the "triple bottom line
plus," or social, environmental, financial, and technical benefits of the project and their applicability to
Central San's Vision, Mission, and Values. Criteria fell into three categories: 1) Essential Commitments;
2) Project Benefits; and 3) Operational Reliability, as summarized below:

Individual Project Drivers
Projects included in the CIP address one or more of the four major drivers for implementing capital
improvement projects: 1) Aging Infrastructure; 2) Regulatory; 3) Capacity; and 4) Sustainability. Most
project scopes include several project elements that address a range of drivers. Below is a description
for each of the four major drivers:
• Aging Infrastructure:This project driver describes projects required to maintain the performance
and reliability of existing assets to ensure reliable conveyance and treatment of wastewater.
Central San operates and maintains several billion dollars of assets, and several projects in each
program have been initiated or are in progress to meet replacement or rehabilitation infrastructure
needs. Most of the existing treatment plant facilities were constructed in the late 1970s and early
1980s following the passage of the Clean Water Act, and some of the collection system facilities
and piping were constructed as early as the 1940s and 1950s. Central San recognizes the need to
address aging infrastructure and has developed an Asset Management system.
• Regulatory:This project driver describes projects required to reliably comply with regulatory
requirements that are designed to protect human health and the environment, and includes
planning needed to anticipate potential future regulatory requirements. Regulatory drivers that
may trigger capital improvement projects include potential changes in future state and/or federal
water, air, and solids regulations. Potential regulatory drivers include: changes to existing final
effluent limits to address nutrients, selenium, contaminants of emerging concern, and others;
changes to California/National Toxics Rules, 303 (d) listed pollutants and micropollutants, and new
virus-based disinfection criterion; reductions in greenhouse gas emission Cap and Trade Program
thresholds; compliance with Federal 129 sewage sludge incineration rules, changes to air emission
limits, and solids handling/management and disposal regulations; recycled water, including
potential coordinated projects with water agencies on Title 22, indirect or direct potable reuse
opportunities; and collection system regulatory requirements such as the reduction of sewer
system overflows. Occasionally, improvements are also required to improve the reliability of
existing facilities to ensure 100% compliance with regulatory permits and to ensure protection of
human health and the environment.
• Capacity:This project driver describes projects required to increase capacity of existing facilities.
Capacity drivers that may trigger capital improvement projects include potential upgrades required
to mitigate hydraulic bottlenecks and increase capacity of existing facilities to accommodate
wastewater flows and loads. Projects that would be required to accommodate planned growth are
not included in the CIP.
• Sustainability/Energy/Optimization:This project driver describes projects to minimize lifecycle
costs, maximize benefits, and achieve economic stability through optimization, resiliency, resource
recovery, and energy projects. Sustainability drivers that may trigger capital improvement projects
include upgrades to strive towards net zero energy, recycled water projects to ensure the reliable
supply of recycled water for use at Central San and for use by Central San's customers, and
upgrades to improve the resiliency of Central San facilities. Improvements to strive towards net
zero energy or energy self-sufficiency include energy efficiency measures such as installing more
163

energy efficient equipment or treatment processes, and renewable energy projects such as solar or
wind.

Collection System Sewer Replacement: Several projects have replaced or rehabilitated up to 6.0 miles
of sewers, most of which were 6-inch vitrified clay pipes in poor condition. Construction included
sewer replacement, new manholes, and other infrastructure improvements in public rights-of-way and
backyard easements. Trenchless technology was utilized where possible for cost effectiveness and to
minimize construction impacts. Central San staff also designed and bid up to 7.0 miles of upcoming
sewer replacement this fiscal year and coordinated the projects with city paving programs and other
utilities throughout the service area.

the air pollution control equipment on the existing furnaces at the wastewater treatment plant. The
Solids Handling Facility Improvements Project will replace this equipment to meet current and future
regulatory needs. In addition, this project will include structural modifications to the building,
furnaces, and electrical bracing to meet current seismic standards. The final design is underway with
design completion expected in 2020.

Safety projects included the completion of the Plant Operations Building Seismic Upgrades
construction, and the design and bidding of the Emergency External Stairway for the Solids
Conditioning Building. Both projects provide for employee safety while including improvements to
ensure reliability of critical facilities that process wastewater.
Infrastructure Replacement: The main emphasis of the CIP is replacing deteriorated infrastructure.
Last fiscal year, several projects were initiated in design or construction and included the following
major efforts:
• Mechanical and Concrete Renovations: This construction project is focused on replacing critical
gates, mechanical systems, and rehabilitating concrete structures at the wastewater treatment
plant. In addition, this project rehabilitated the odor control towers and associated electrical for
two critical process areas (Headworks and Primary Sedimentation).
• Pumping Station Upgrades—Phase 1: Awarded the construction contract and started construction
for needed replacement of electrical, mechanical, and back-up power equipment at the Moraga,
Orinda Crossroads, and Flush Kleen Pumping Stations.
• Pumping Station Upgrades—Phase 2: Land acquisitions and detailed design is ongoing for needed
electrical and mechanical equipment replacement at the Martinez, Maltby, and Fairview Pumping
Stations and progress into the next fiscal year.
• Filter Plant and Clearwell Improvements— Phase 1A: Completed final design, which includes
replacement of deteriorated electrical infrastructure at the Clearwell, new pumps, recycled water
storage improvements, and filter system modifications. Construction is expected to begin in FY 2020-21.
• Steam and Aeration Blower Systems Renovation: Condition assessments are underway for the steam
and heat recovery systems at the treatment plant, and several other areas in the aeration system,
including the blowers, will be evaluated this fiscal year. This project also includes evaluation of the
treatment plant electrical systems. The planning of this project will continue into next year.
• Projects completed: Several projects are either at the Substantial Completion or Closed phase of
construction, including the Headworks Screenings Upgrade (Closed), Piping Renovation— Phase 9
(Closed), and Recycled Water Clearwell Repairs (Closing in Progress). All of these projects replaced or
protected critical infrastructure to allow Central San to continue to effectively collect, treat, and process
wastewater, and deliver recycled water in compliance with all recycling requirements.

California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Compliance
The CIB is exempt from CEQA because it is a planning study (Central San CEQA Guidelines
Section 15262). Some projects included in the CIB are designated as exempt under CEQA. If
appropriate, a Notice of Exemption may be filed for such projects following a future action of the
Board, such as an award of a construction contract. Other CIB projects are designated as needing
a "Negative Declaration" or "Environmental Impact Report" to comply with CEQA. Non-exempt
CEQA projects will be considered for Board approval on a case-by-case basis after preparation and
certification of the appropriate CEQA documentation. The following table presents the CEQA
compliance status of projects for which staff is requesting an authorization of Sewer Construction
Funds. The anticipated types of CEQA documentation required for each project are listed below:
• Exemption: Staff will recommend an Exemption Finding, if still appropriate, when each project
receives approval consideration at a future Board meeting.
• Negative Declaration: Staff will prepare a Negative Declaration for the project. Board
consideration of approval of the project would follow its approval of the Negative Declaration.
• Environmental Impact Report: Staff will direct preparation of an Environmental Impact Report.
Board consideration of approval of the project would follow certification of the Environmental
Impact Report.
• CEQA Documents Completed: For these projects, CEQA compliance has already been achieved
through documents previously prepared and approved.

Capital Improvement Budget - Collection System Program
The following are the major points of emphasis for the FY 2020-21 Collection System Program:
• Renovate sewers as they reach the end of their useful lives to avoid structural failure, sanitary
sewer overflows, sewer service disruptions, and to control maintenance costs;
• Improve the electrical safety, reliability, and operations of the pumping stations;
• Promote residential septic conversion by providing finance options to protect public health and the
environment; and
• Investigate and plan for potential large diameter sewer renovation.
The process for project identification, prioritization, and scheduling takes into consideration the
following eight major components:
• Reduce impacts to customers/residents and communities;
• Results from Central San's InfoMaster° model, which is an advanced Geographic Information
System integrated risk-based analytical asset management and capital planning tool;
• Results from Central San's closed-circuit TV Inspection Program that identifies lines in need of
rehabilitation or replacement;
• Collection System Operations maintenance records including overflows and stoppages;
• The Pumping Station Inventory Update, which identifies necessary reliability improvements;
• Preliminary Design Report for the renovation and upgrades at six major pumping stations;
• Collection System Master Plan, which identifies capacity limitations in the collection system; and
• Coordination with capital improvement programs for paving and other agencies'/utilities' projects.
This process allows staff to establish priorities and schedules for the individual elements of the system
that are incorporated into the Capital Improvement Budget and Plan. Assessment tools, such as
InfoMaster°and closed-circuit TV inspection, are utilized to confirm the need for projects. After
priorities and schedules are set, projects proceed to design and construction. At each step of the
process, the level of accuracy in scope, schedule, and cost improves.

Drivers:
Central San's 1,500+ mile collection system has pipe segments that Regulatory Sustainability
range in age from new to more than 100 years old. Some of the
pipe segments are at or near the end of their useful lives
as evidenced by their need for frequent maintenance,
high rate of infiltration, and/or threat of structural °-%
collapse.
r •
More than 300 miles of the small diameter sewers in the
collection system were constructed prior to 1956. The
methods and materials of construction used at that time
do not currently perform well and are the source of over
90% of the dry weather sanitary sewer overflows (SSOs).
Central San implemented a sewer renovation program in
1991 to replace small diameter sewers to control future
maintenance requirements and costs, minimize the number of overflows, limit the quantity of rainfall
entering the collection system, and improve the level of service provided to customers.
Description:
The Pleasant Hill Sewer Renovation Project- Phase 2 will replace or rehabilitate small diameter sewers
located in both public rights-of-way and easements within the city of Pleasant Hill. Design and
construction for this project will be included and coordinated with the Collection System Sewer

Large Diameter Pipeline Inspection Program— District Project 8443
Program Phase Priority Rank Ranking Score
Collection System Planning Critical 80
Purpose:
To assess the condition of large diameter trunks and interceptors Project Drivers
and confirm the timing for renovation needs. Aging
Infrastructure Capacity
Drivers:
Central San owns 76 miles of wastewater trunks and interceptors Regulatory sustainability
ranging from 24 inches to 102 inches in diameter. The typical
lifespan of large sewers ranges from 50 to 150 years depending on
pipe material, hydraulic, operating, and environmental conditions.
Nearly half of Central San's large sewers are over 50 years old and ,r
should be evaluated for remaining life.
Although Central San performs closed-circuit TV (CCTV) inspection
of large diameter sewers, CCTV inspection is not always practical
and does not always provide an accurate condition assessment.
For example, CCTV cannot detect external corrosion and cannot
assess the condition of the pipe invert when sediment is present. A combination of CCTV inspection,
enhanced CCTV with laser profiling, sonar, hydrogen sulfide monitoring, and visual walk-over surveys
are recommended to assess the condition of large diameter sewers. Inspection information can be
used to ensure replacement of pipelines prior to failure and appropriate timing of replacement.
Description:
A phased large diameter pipeline inspection program was developed and prioritized based on pipe age
and consequence of failure. This project is the first of a five-year phase inspection program to perform
the following:
• Review pipeline data and prioritize large diameter sewers for inspection— initial assessment will be
approximately 6,000 feet of large diameter reinforced concrete sewers using enhanced CCTV
• Consider piloting and evaluating the benefits of multi-sensor inspection methods
• Consider deploying hydrogen sulfide meters for evaluating and modeling sewer conditions

Force Main Inspection Program — District Project 8444
Program Phase Priority Rank Ranking Score
Collection System Planning Very High 60
Purpose: Project Drivers
To assess the condition of force mains and confirm the timing for
renovation needs. Aging
Infrastructure Capacity
Drivers:
Central San maintains 31 force mains with a combined length of Regulatory sustainability
approximately 23 miles. More than 65% of the force mains are
made of metallic materials which are prone to corrosion. The
typical lifespan of force mains ranges from 50 to 100 years. Over
half of the existing force mains were installed 40 or more years )FU
ago. The remaining lifespan of individual force mains is difficult to
estimate without inspection-based condition assessment results.
Force main failure methods include internal and external r
corrosion, mechanical failure due to high pressure and surge
events or due to external loads and stresses, and material or
installation defects. Recommended force main inspection
methods include CCTV inspection, pressure transient monitoring, -_f-
acoustic leak detection, and electromagnetic inspection.
Description:
A phased inspection program was developed and prioritized based on age and consequence of failure:
• Initial work will be to prepare an implementation plan for the force main inspections
• Highest priority force main inspections to be evaluated in this project are at the Moraga,
Orinda Crossroads, Lower Orinda, Bates Boulevard, and Wagner Ranch Pumping Stations
• Other high and medium priority force mains may be considered at the San Ramon, Clyde,
Concord Industrial, and Acacia Pumping Stations (Martinez force mains will be evaluated under the
Pumping Station Upgrades Project— Phase 2)

Collection System Construction Critical 65
Purpose: Project Drivers
To replace and renovate small diameter sewers within the
southern portion of the City of Orinda, unincorporated Orinda, and Aging Capacity
Infrastructure
the Town of Moraga.
Drivers: Regulatory Sustainability
Central San's 1,500+ mile collection system has pipe segments
that range in age from new to more than 100 years old. Some
of the pipe segments are at or near the end of their useful lives
as evidenced by their need for frequent maintenance, high rate
of infiltration, and/or threat of structural collapse.
More than 300 miles of the small diameter sewers in the
collection system were constructed prior to 1956. The
methods and materials of construction used at that time do not
currently perform well, and are the source of over 90% of the
dry weather SSOs. Central San implemented a sewer
renovation program in 1991 to replace small diameter sewers
to control future maintenance requirements and costs, to minimize the number of overflows, to limit
the quantity of rainfall entering the collection system, and to improve the level of service provided to
customers. The construction of this project will be funded by the Collection System Sewer Renovation
Project— Phase 1.
Description:
The South Orinda Sewer Renovation Project— Phase 8 will replace or rehabilitate up to approximately
5,100 feet of small diameter sewers located in both public right-of-way and easements within the
southern portion of the city of Orinda, unincorporated Orinda, and the town of Moraga, south of

Purpose: Project Drivers
To address aging electrical components of the influent pumps and Aging
improve reliability. Infrastructure Capacity
Drivers:
Regulatory Sustainability
The Influent Pump Facility is critical to operations. During wet
weather, some of the pumps convey wastewater to the holding
basins. Without the pumps, wastewater cannot be treated or
stored in the basins. The influent pump motors are in a dry pit
room below grade that is susceptible to flooding. A leak in the
piping or flooding of the connected tunnels would potentially
submerge the motors and the entire treatment plant would
experience a catastrophic shutdown. Electrical improvements
are recommended to improve reliability and resiliency. The
influent pumps PLCs and variable frequency drives (VFDs) are
outdated technology installed over 20 years ago and are _
becoming increasingly difficult to maintain. These VFDs have
experienced multiple failures recently and are essential to
managing flows, particularly during wet weather events.
Description:
Several major improvements in the influent pumping process area include:
• Replace influent pumps' VFDs and upgrade influent pumps' PLCs
• Add Influent Pump No. 6 for reliability and redundancy during peak wet weather events
• Evaluate implementation of"Smart Utility" and use of"Big Data" as part of this project

Walnut Creek/Grayson Creek Levee Rehab — District Project 7341
Program Phase Priority Rank Ranking Score
Treatment Plant Design Very High 50
Purpose: Project Drivers
To reduce the risk of flood damage to the treatment plant by
raising levees through a project led by the Contra Costa County Aging Capacity
Infrastructure
Flood Control and Water Conservation District (FCD).
Drivers: Regulatory Sustainability
The treatment plant site is bordered by Walnut and
Grayson Creeks with levees that were built by the FCD and
US Army Corps of Engineers, and are currently owned and
maintained by the FCD. Overtopping of the levees could
catastrophically disable treatment plant operations, result in
significant facility damage, negatively impact the t
environment due to discharge of untreated sewage, and
impair the local economy. In 2007, the FCD implemented an
interim flood control measure to desilt the lower Walnut
Creek channel and raise the western levees of Walnut and
Grayson Creeks. Based on recent modeling, the levees
currently provide protection from a 30-year storm. The
current flood protection standard by the California Department of Water Resources is to provide
protection against at least a 200-year storm with three feet of freeboard, consider a rise in sea level,
and climate change.
Description:
Due to the critical nature of the treatment plant facilities, the levees will be raised to provide a

Treatment Plant Planning/Design/Construction Critical 80
Purpose: Project Drivers
To evaluate the existing steam system, waste heat recovery, steam
turbines, electrical power distribution system, and secondary treatment Aging
systems.
Infrastructure Capacity
Drivers: Regulatory Sustainability
Central San's energy recovery system uses waste heat from the
incinerator and cogeneration turbine to produce steam primarily for
aeration blowers and other systems. The existing aeration system is
from the 1970s and is outdated, inefficient, experiences significant
air leaks, and has limited turndown capabilities. The existing steam
piping, valves, and related equipment require a detailed assessment.
Although it is advantageous to recover waste heat for producing
aeration, it also creates a complicated interconnection. Disruptions
in solids and steam systems can impact reliability of the secondary
process. Similarly, disruptions in blower operation can impact the
boiler, steam system, and solids emission controls.
Description:
Several major steam, electrical, and secondary process modifications are included:
• Evaluate the condition of the existing steam generation, steam driven systems and turbine, and more
efficient options to produce power from the future waste heat recovery system
• Evaluate and design the addition of new electrical blowers to supplement and/or replace the existing
electric blower
• Evaluate modifications to existing aeration tanks and the activated sludge system, including the secondary
clarifiers and the hydraulics
• Determine impact from recycled water exchange project that would produce high quality recycled water
with very low/no ammonia and low total dissolved solids to feed the two local oil refineries
• The condition assessments will also evaluate necessary improvements of the electrical distribution system

Drivers:
Although several piping systems are accessible in the Central San Regulatory Sustainability
tunnels, there are several piping systems that are buried and
difficult to access for condition assessment. In addition, there
are some channels and submerged piping systems that are
difficult to access. Some of these piping systems are also
required for continuous operation of the treatment plant and
are difficult to temporarily shut down for assessment. Despite
these challenges, it is important to plan any necessary bypassing
operations and perform condition assessments of these pipes,
some of which are over 40 years old. These pipelines are critical
for Central San operations and rehabilitation or replacement =
may be required in the coming years.
Description: 'f
This project includes the following major elements:
• Develop a prioritized condition assessment plan for buried piping systems and difficult to access
piping or channels
• Bypass pumping and piping as required
• Field inspection of buried or submerged piping systems and channels

Capital Improvement Budget - Recycled Water Program
Central San provides landscape irrigation water that meets all the requirements of the State Water
Resources Control Board's Division of Drinking Water and the San Francisco Regional Water Quality
Control Board for unrestricted landscape irrigation. Recycling water means less water is diverted from
the Delta environment. Recycled water is a valuable resource, especially during drought years when
water for landscape irrigation is less available because of water rationing.
In 1996, Central San and the Contra Costa Water District
reached an agreement allowing Central San to supply
recycled water to specific areas of the cities of Concord
and Pleasant Hill. That area is referred to as Zone 1.
About 200 million gallons of recycled water are used
annually by irrigation customers, including two golf
courses, parks, a community college, an elementary "
school, three middle schools, a high school, and the _
city of Pleasant Hill. This project will ultimately deliver
1.5 million gallons per day for irrigation use in the ._
City of Pleasant Hill area. Central San will continue to rt_
collaborate with local water purveyors to identify cost-
effective landscape irrigation and industrial recycled t f
water projects.
Central San currently produces over 500 million gallons
of recycled water per year for use at the treatment
plant site, for irrigation customers, and for a range of
commercial uses. Over 200 million gallons per year of r
recycled water is provided to a variety of customers
in the city of Pleasant Hill, the city of Concord, and
businesses near Central San's treatment plant in
Martinez. Recycled water is used for landscape
irrigation at schools, parks, playgrounds, private
businesses, golf courses, street medians, industrial
processes, and commercial applications such as truck
washing, concrete manufacturing, dust control, and
toilet and urinal flushing. Central San uses over 300
million gallons per year at the treatment plant for
process water and landscape irrigation for Central San
properties. Central San continues to pursue several
projects as described in the following pages.

May 18, 2020 Special FINANCE Committee Meeting Agenda Packet- Page 343 of 448
Page 250 of 352
The major emphasis of the Recycled Water Program for the next fiscal year will be to finalize design
and bid the Filter and Clearwell Improvements Project, Phase 1A. This project will improve
Central San's existing recycled water treatment facilities, storage, and related support facilities, to
address aging infrastructure needs, and maintain reliable recycled water service to customers and for
use at Central San's treatment plant. Central San will also continue efforts to add new cost-effective
customers in Central San's Zone 1 service area, pursue outside funding assistance (such as federal and
state grants for all Central San recycled water projects), and work with water supply agencies to
develop recycled water supply alternatives, such as the Water Exchange Project with Contra Costa
Water District and Santa Clara Valley Water District.

Ten-Year Capital Improvement Plan
(FY 2020 - FY 2030)
OVERVIEW
Central San has developed a Ten-Year Capital Improvement Plan (Ten-Year CIP) for capital facilities and
financing needs. The Ten-Year CIP covers the period starting on July 1, 2020 and ending June 30, 2030.
It incorporates the recommendations from the June 2017 Comprehensive Wastewater Master Plan
(CWMP). The Ten-Year CIP is updated every year. Specifically, the plan identifies and prioritizes capital
projects needed to accomplish Central San's Vision, Mission, Values, and Goals. It also includes
planning-level cost estimates for proposed projects and projections for the various sources of revenue
needed to meet the cash flow requirements. The principal purpose of the Ten-Year CIP is to provide
the Board of Directors (Board) with the information needed to formulate a long-range policy regarding:
• Priority and Schedule— Identify, prioritize, and schedule the projects necessary to accomplish
Central San's Vision, Mission, Values, and Goals.
• Financing— Plan for sufficient financial resources to complete the proposed projects.
The CWMP was a critical tool used by Central San to implement the following strategies from
Central San's Strategic Plan (FY 2020-2022):
• Achieve 100% Compliance in all Regulations by meeting all air, water, land, and other
requirements and by striving to minimize sanitary sewer overflows through the implementation of
best management practices.
• Reduce Reliance on Non-Renewable Energy by using sustainable practices that minimize waste,
maximize resources, and improve the community.
• Manage Assets Optimally to Prolong Their Useful Life by facilitating long-term capital renewal and
replacement and by protecting Central San personnel and assets from threats and emergencies.
• Improve and Modernize Operations through Technology and Efficiency Measures by streamlining
workflows, leveraging data, and encouraging the review and pilot testing of new technology to
optimize the way Central San works.
The following Ten-Year CIP section provides a general description of the plan and a discussion of
potential, unbudgeted future capital projects. As projects develop and are prioritized, they are
grouped into the four programs (Treatment Plant, Collection System, General Improvements, and
Recycled Water Program) as shown in the Capital Improvement Budget (CIB).
A brief description of each program and a list of major projects for the Ten-Year CIP are provided in the
Capital Improvement Plan sections for each of the four programs. In total, the estimated costs for all
the projects listed in the Ten-Year CIP is $907.5 million.
257
May 18, 2020 Special FINANCE Committee Meeting Agenda Packet- Page 353 of 448
Page 260 of 352
Ten-Year Capital Improvement Plan Budget Process
The Ten-Year CIP assumes that funds will be available to support the plan. These funds come from all
revenue sources as discussed in the Financial Overview section. The only two discretionary sources of
revenue are the sale of bonds or adjustment of the capital component of the Sewer Service Charge.
The Capital Plan assumes that two bond issuances will occur, but the Board has yet to approve the
issuance of the bonds. Central San has also applied for State Revolving Fund (SRF) loans, which may
offset in part the need for bond proceeds. The Ten-Year CIP is currently funded on a year-by-year basis
when the CIB for the upcoming fiscal year is formally authorized and adopted by the Board. Changes in
capital revenue forecasts or changes in recommended expenditures may result in changes to this
Ten-Year CIP.
2017 Comprehensive Wastewater Master Plan
The CWMP was completed in June 2017. A key deliverable of the CWMP was an updated Capital
Improvement Plan for the next 20-year planning horizon (2017-2037). The CWMP included
descriptions, rationales, and estimated costs for collection system and wastewater treatment plant
capital improvement projects and ongoing programs to address aging infrastructure, meet existing and
anticipated regulatory requirements, accommodate planned growth, optimize energy use, and
implement Central San's vision for the treatment plant that is consistent with Central San's Strategic
Plan.
The CWMP was also a critical tool for maintaining a high level of service, establishing long-term fiscally
responsible policies for Central San's customers, and providing a clear direction for Central San. To
accomplish this, the CWMP:
• Confirmed Capital Improvement Program projects, costs, and site layouts for future facilities
• Identified linkages among the major capital improvement projects and repair and replacement
strategies such that the projects can be resorted and rescheduled as changes in planning
assumptions and needs occur
• Identified triggers for implementing applied research (if applicable), preliminary design, design,
and construction of the recommended capital improvement projects to determine efficient
"just-in-time" project implementation
• Identified new or updated policies, programs, and guidelines for the Board considerations to
address overall program implementation including project prioritizations, implementation costs,
project delivery methods, potential funding sources, and an estimated schedule for implementing
plan elements
• Confirmed and incorporated operations, maintenance, and energy management strategies
• Accelerated and coordinated condition assessments with the implementation of the Asset
Management Plan and confirmed long-term repair and replacement strategies
Some of these potential future projects identified in the CWMP are not currently included in the
Ten-Year CIP. Central San's CIP will be updated annually as projects are clarified. These future projects
are not included in the CIP and amount to about $920.0 million, of which approximately$510.0 million
may be within the next 20 years.

• Concord Community Reuse Project Recycled Water Distribution System (Central San's current plan
is to wholesale recycled water to Contra Costa Water District who will be in charge of the new
distribution system, including storage) *
* Projects expected to be cost neutral to Central San
**Projects identified but not currently required by regulations
Ten-Year Capital Improvement Plan — Collection System Program
The Collection System Program includes projects that will address aging and deteriorating
infrastructure needs, meet regulatory requirements, address any capacity deficiencies, and improve
sustainability or help meet sustainability related goals. The emphasis of the Ten-Year CIP—Collection
System Program will be on rehabilitating and replacing deteriorating sewers, new development and
sewer expansion by developers within Central San's service area, upgrading aging pumping stations,
and implementing large diameter and force main inspection programs. The inspection programs will
help to update the condition of existing infrastructure and to confirm the timing and cost of
rehabilitation or replacement of large diameter sewers and force mains. Overall, these projects are
targeted at reducing the risk of sewer system overflows in Central San's collection system.
Central San staff will continue to update the new collection system hydrodynamic model (InfoWorks°)
to confirm the need and timing for future projects required to alleviate capacity deficiencies and to
determine sewer replacement needs.
The InfoMaster° program uses closed-circuit television inspection scoring results, sewer cleaning
frequency data, pipe age, and other information to assign a likelihood of failure score to each pipe
segment in the collection system. The consequence of failure for each pipe segment was determined
using factors such as pipeline size, flow conditions, and proximity to waterways, hospitals, schools, and
roads. The overall risk of each segment is based on the likelihood of failure and consequence of failure
scores, and a decision matrix developed through workshops with staff were used to prioritize the
replacement of each pipe segment. InfoMaster° then helps to develop a long-term sewer replacement
strategy or program based on the timing/prioritization, and cost for sewer replacement needs. Staff
will then work to group sewers of concern geographically and bid as capital projects.
The following tables identify major projects in the Ten-Year CIP—Collection System Program. The
projects have been grouped into one of five project categories: 1) Collection System Rehabilitation and
Replacement, 2) Pumping Stations, 3) Regulatory Compliance, 4) Collection System Expansion, and
5) Contractual Assessment Districts and Development Sewerage.

Debt Program
Since 2009, Central San has utilized a pay-as-you-go philosophy for capital expenditures. In 2009,
and in some earlier years, Central San utilized long-term financing through obligations issued by the
Central Contra Costa Sanitary District Facilities Financing Authority. The 2009 obligations
(certificates of participation) were issued for the purpose of providing funding for new capital
expenditures and to refinance existing debt. In 2018, Central San refinanced the 2009 obligations
by issuing revenue bonds. Both types of financial obligations are referred to in this document as
bonds or debt.
Central San's debt service is presently funded by ad valorem tax and interest income. Debt service is
projected at 2.5 million, a reduction from 3.0 million in FY 2019-20 due a reduction in the principal
repayment schedule for the 2018 bonds (from 2.1 million to 1.7 million). Table 1 summarizes the debt
service sub-fund budget.

2018 Revenue Bonds
In September 2018, Central San issued 19.5 million of Wastewater Revenue Refunding Bonds in
two series (tax-exempt Series A for 15.1 million and federally taxable Series B for 4.3 million) to refund
outstanding 2009 bonds. The transaction was undertaken to take advantage of lower interest rates
and to reduce risk of reduced credits from the federal government budget related sequestration
affecting the Series 2009 Build America Bonds (BABs). The transaction resulted in 8.2 million of
interest savings through FY 2029-30, from lower interest rates and reducing outstanding principal
through eliminating a debt service reserve fund that was previously held for the 2009 bonds. The
2018 Revenue Bonds have a revised rate covenant as compared to the 2009 bonds, providing for a
Net Revenues Covenant and a Gross Revenues Covenant.
275

Page 278 of 352
In short:
• Net Revenues (Gross Revenues excluding capacity fees and after payment of Operations and
Maintenance (O&M) Costs) plus Tax Revenues are to be at least 125% of debt service in a fiscal
year.
• Gross Revenues (Gross Revenues including capacity fees and after payment of O&M Costs) plus Tax
Revenues are to be at least 100% of debt service in a fiscal year.
Figure 2 shows coverage ratios using the pre-2018 covenants and using the 2018 covenants.
2009 Bonds/Certificates of Participation (No Longer Outstanding)
The 2009 Wastewater Revenue Certificates of Participation, Series A and Series B (bonds) were
originally issued for 19.6 million and 34.5 million, respectively, on November 12, 2009 and
December 3, 2009. The proceeds were used in part to finance new capital expenditures
(17.3 million of Series A and 12.7 million of Series B), to refund previous debt (20.2 million of Series B),
and to pay costs of issuance. The Series A Bonds were federally taxable BABs, which received a rate
subsidy from the federal government. Coupons on this series ranged from 5.20%to 5.70%, while yields
ranged from 3.45%to 3.78% net of the subsidy. The Series B bonds were tax-exempt bonds that were
used to refund the 1998 and 2002 bond issuances and raise an additional 30.0 million in new proceeds,
with coupons ranging from 4.0%to 5.0% and yields ranging from 0.40%to 3.79%. The two bonds
originally totaled 54.1 million and were secured by a pledge of tax and net revenues of the wastewater
system. Both bonds had original maturities through September 1, 2029. The Series A bonds were
called through an extraordinary call provision and redeemed in September 2018. The Series B bonds
were advance refunded with the establishment of an escrow account from Series 2018 B bond
proceeds and will be formally retired on the normal call date of September 1, 2019.
Reclamation Loan (No Longer Outstanding)
In FY 2017-18, Central San paid the final installment on a 2.9 million loan from FY 1998-99 with the
California State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB). The loan advanced Central San funds for the
design and construction costs for projects related to recycled water treatment programs. Central San
repaid advances from the California SWRCB over a 20-year period ending in
FY 2017-18.
Additional Planned Debt Issuance
Central San anticipates utilizing long-term financing in FY 2020-21 to finance certain projects outlined
in the 10-Year CIP, including those specified in the Comprehensive Wastewater Master Plan. A new
Debt Management and Continuing Disclosure Policy was adopted during FY 2017-18, which specifies
the conditions under which debt and other forms of external financing can be used.
276
May 18, 2020 Special FINANCE Committee Meeting Agenda Packet- Page 372 of 448
Page 279 of 352
In December 2018, Central San applied for an 89.6 million loan through a competitive process with the
California SWRCB to fund solids handling improvements to the treatment plant. Central San's project
was selected as part of the Intended Use Plan for State Revolving Fund (SRF) funds at a public hearing
on June 18, 2019. Central San has continued to dialogue with SWRCB regarding the project and
anticipates requesting an increase in the funding amount from 89.6 million to reflect higher than
anticipated project costs that those specified upon the completion of the 90% design specifications in
early 2020. After finalization of a loan agreement, borrowings are expected to commence in
FY 2020-21, with 3 million drawn from the loan facility.
Central San's 10-year financial plan also anticipates additional borrowing (subject to Board approval)
which may be in the form of either revenue bonds or an additional loan from the Clean Water SRF and
Water Recycling Funding Programs of the SWRCB.
Figure 1 and Table 2 summarize Central San's historical and currently outstanding debt service
obligations.

Debt Related Covenants
An important financial performance metric is the Debt Service Coverage Ratio. The Board's targeted
coverage ratio is 2.0 times. As shown in Figure 2, Central San will more than meet that target.
FY 2018-19 coverage was very high due to several factors including: (1) low debt service in FY 2018-19
due to the refinancing of debt; (2) lower than typical Operating Expenses Less Depreciation due to a
large OPEB adjustment (30.4 million) from the transition to the CalPERS healthcare plan.

As noted previously, the calculation has changed slightly in connection with the 2018 bonds. Through
FY 2018-19, Bond Covenants on 2009 bonds provided for the following covenants:
• Net Revenue: This ratio must be above 1.00 to meet the Debt Rate Covenant
(Net Revenue/Total Debt Service)
• Adjusted Net Revenue: Net Revenue less Capital Improvement Fees (capacity fees) and
City of Concord Capital Charges. This ratio must be above 1.25 to meet the Debt Rate Covenant
(Adjusted Net Revenue/Total Debt Service)
The Series 2018 A and B Revenue Bonds have the following covenants:
• Net Revenues Covenant: Net revenues (gross revenues excluding capacity fees and after payment
of 0&M costs) plus tax revenues are to be at least 125% of debt service in a fiscal year.
• Gross Revenues Covenant: Gross revenues (gross revenues including capacity fees and after
payment of O&M Costs) plus tax revenues are to be at least 100% of debt service in a fiscal year.
Externally Imposed Debt Limits
Central San, as a sanitary district, is subject to certain limits on the direct issuance of bonds payable
from proceeds of taxes levied on taxable property in the district. Total bonds issued by Central San
cannot exceed 15-20% (depending on some factors) of the assessed value of real and personal
property in the District (Health and Safety Code Section 6651). Bond issuances of this nature would
require an election with 2/3 voter approval (H&S Code 6644). Central San has no bonds subject to this
limitation outstanding. Refunding bonds are not subject to the limitation and election requirement. In
2009 (and previously in 1994 and 2002), Central San financed a portion of its capital improvements
through the use of a joint powers authority (JPA), using a form of an installment sale agreement with a
similar payment structure as a bond. In such an arrangement, the financing authority issues bonds or
certificates of participation, with the installment sale agreement supporting the JPA bonds (payments
on the installment agreement received by the JPA pay the JPA's bonds). This structure is typical for
California special districts and is not subject to the bond election and debt limits described in the
preceding paragraph.
External financing of part of the capital program is anticipated FY 2020-21 through a loan
from the California SWRCB for the Solids Handling Facility Improvements project. This financing, and
other financing currently anticipated within the 10-year financial planning horizon, is forecast to be
well below the limits noted above.
Agency Debt Limits
Central San's Debt Management and Continuing Disclosure Policy adopted during FY 2017-18 (and
subsequently updated in FY 2019-20) specifies the conditions under which debt and other forms of
external financing can be used. This policy is intended to cover both Central San and the Central
Contra Costa Sanitary District Facilities Financing Authority, for "debt" in a broad sense, as well as
other external financial obligations such as an Installment Sale Agreement, which is not a bond and
technically is not considered a debt. This policy (Board Policy 029) provides certain guidance on the
use of debt and financial obligations, as follows:
279
May 18, 2020 Special FINANCE Committee Meeting Agenda Packet- Page 375 of 448
Page 282 of 352
Debt Management and Continuing Disclosure Policy
Standards for Use of Debt Financing
The District shall integrate its debt issuances with the goals of its Capital Improvement Program (CIP) by
timing the issuance of debt to ensure that projects are available when needed in furtherance of the
District's public purposes (as articulated in, inter alia, the District's mission, vision and goals) and are
consistent with the rate and financial planning parameters specified in the District's long-term financial
plans. The Board shall be presented with a long-term financial plan in each instance Sewer Service
Charge rates are to be adjusted.
1. The long-term financial plans will specify an expected debt issuance amount over a
decade or more long-term planning horizon.
a. The District shall target rate or tax revenue funding of, at a minimum, the
value of the collection system replacement program (specifically, pipeline
replacement) component of the CIP.
b. Not more than 60%of the overall CIP shall be financed with debt.
2. All projects in the CIP are eligible to use debt financing, so long as the minimum rate
or tax revenues are generated as described in this section.
This policy does not contemplate the use of debt financing to fund ongoing operating and maintenance
expenditures; exceptions beyond a de-minimis amount would require approval of the Board. With
respect to debt repayment and amortization, the debt repayment period should be structured so that
the weighted average maturity of the debt does not exceed 100% of the expected average useful life of
the project being financed.

*The$4.4 million restricted for debt service for FY 2017-18 reflected the balance in the debt service reserve fund. Due to a refinancing
of 2009 bonds subsequently in September 2018,this debt service reserve was eliminated during FY 2018-19.
**Central San implemented Governmental Accounting Standards Board Pronouncement No.75 during FY 2017-18 which required a
restatement to reduce beginning Net Position by$41.6 million and resulted in a negative unrestricted Net Position balance of$6.8
million.
Net Position is classified into three categories: Net Investment in Capital Assets, Restricted for Debt
Service, and Unrestricted. The classification is based on availability or accessibility of the resource,
rather than its origin. Net position is a measure of the overall financial condition of Central San.
Over time, trends in net position provide indications of Central San's financial strength. Central San's
financial condition is affected by numerous factors including financial policies, rate and spending
decisions, and external factors such as overall economic trends affecting the service territory, new
regulatory requirements, and accounting pronouncements.
The largest portion of Central San's net position is the investment in capital assets (e.g., land
buildings, machinery, equipment, intangible assets, and sewer line infrastructure), less any related
debt used to acquire those assets that are still outstanding.

Sub-Funds As noted previously, Central San is considered one enterprise fund with four"sub-funds"
to facilitate improved internal budgeting and accounting. The sub-funds used and
included in this budget document are as follows:
• Running Expense Sub-Fund - (also referred to as Operations and Maintenance,
O&M, or R/E)
accounts for the general operations of Central San. Substantially accounts for all
operating revenues and expenses.
• Sewer Construction Sub-Fund - (also referred to as Capital or S/C)
accounts for non-operating revenues that are to be used for acquisition or
construction of plant, property, and equipment.
• Self-Insurance Sub-Fund - (also referred to as S/1)
accounts for interest earnings on cash balances and cash allocations from other
funds,temporary investments, and costs of insurance premiums and claims not
covered by Central San's insurance policies.
• Debt Service Sub-Fund -A sub-fund that accounts for activity associated with the
payment of Central San's long-term bonds and loans.
Subsidy Payment Relating to Build America Bonds (BABs),the subsidy payment represents funds from the
federal government to offset part of the interest cost paid by Central San as the issuer of
bonds. The BABs were issued in 2009 in lieu of traditional tax-exempt debt. Central San
pays a taxable rate of interest to investors, investors pay the Federal Government Income
Tax on that interest, and the federal government remits a specified percentage of the
interest payment to Central San.
Supplies& Category of expenses at the highest "grandparent" roll-up level for financial and
Materials budgetary reporting purposes in the new chart of accounts. Includes amounts paid for

May 18, 2020 Special FINANCE Committee Meeting Agenda Packet- Page 393 of 448
Page 300 of 352
BudgetTerms and Definitions Used in the Document
Unfunded Liability that has been incurred during the current or a prior year, that does not have to be
Liability paid until a future year, and for which reserves have not been set aside. This is similar to
a long-term debt in that it represents a legal commitment to pay at some time in the
future.
Vacancy Factor Recognizing that not all Funded Positions will be occupied throughout a fiscal year, this
allowance reduces budgeted funding to reflect such vacancies. While positions are
vacant, some costs are incurred on occasion for temporary staff or consulting resources,
reducing the vacancy factor.
Working Capital The capital of a business which is used in its day-to-day trading operations, calculated as
the current assets minus the current liabilities. The measure of working capital indicates
the relatively liquid portion of total enterprise fund capital, which constitutes a margin or
buffer for meeting obligations.
Working Capital The amount of working capital deemed to be unrestricted and liquid to meet current
Reserves demands. Central San must strive to maintain "working capital reserves" in excess of the
Minimum Working Capital Reserves (see definition above) specified in the Fiscal Reserves
Policy.
Unlike commonly defined "working capital",the calculation of"working capital reserves"
excludes certain current assets with strict purpose restrictions (i.e. Section 115 Prefunding
Pension Trust assets, Rate Stabilization Fund Reserve Account, etc.) and other current
assets that are not expected to be quickly converted to cash or consumed in operations
(i.e. parts and supplies, loans receivable). Generally,the calculation of working capital
reserves incorporates the following current assets and liabilities: unrestricted cash and
investments, receivables, prepaid expenses,trade payables.
Working Capital Central San's Fiscal Reserves Policy specifies minimum working capital reserve targets for
Reserve Target its O&M and Sewer Construction Funds. These policy targets are adjusted annually as
part of the budget adoption process and are based on each fund's respective operating
budget as follows:
• O&M Fund—Five months (41.7%) of gross operating expenses at the start of each
fiscal year.
• Sewer Construction Fund—One half(50%) of the annual Capital Improvement
Budget at the start of each fiscal year, excluding capital projects that are to be
funded with debt proceeds.
The working capital reserve target is used in the 10-year planning process as the amount
net liquidity that is needed on June 30 of any fiscal year to meet cash flow needs through
mid-December, when the first sewer service charge and property tax payments are
received from Contra Costa County. At the entity-wide aggregate level this includes
working capital reserves of the 0&M and Sewer Construction funds but excludes
restricted balances held in the Self-Insurance and Debt Service funds.

2020-21, resulting in smaller proportion of SSC to O&M and larger share going
to Sewer Construction fund

Financial Summary
The FY 2020-21 Budget provides the resources necessary to advance the Strategic Plan and meet the
challenges Central San faces as it strives to increase service quality and minimize costs. At the same
time, the budget allows Central San to accomplish its mission in the most cost-effective and financially
sustainable manner to ensure the best value to its customers.
Central San's total budget for FY 2020-21 is $182.4 million, representing an increase of$24.5 million, or
15.6%,compared to the FY 2019-20 budget of$157.8 million, which changes by individual spending
category as follows:
• The FY 2020-21 O&M Budget is $90.7 million, an increase of$3.1 million from the current FY 2019-
20 budget of$87.6 million.
• The main driver of the increase in the total budget is a 33.0% increase in sewer construction
investment, from $66.2 million in FY 2019-20 to $88 million in FY 2020-21.
• Debt service is reduced by $0.5 million, a result of lower principal amortization compared to
FY 2019-20.
• The Self-Insurance Fund (SIF) is set at $1.2 million for the costs of premiums and estimated losses
based on historical trends and represents a slight increase from the $1.1 million funding level of the
FY 2019-20 Budget.

The SSC is the largest source of revenue for FY 2020-21 at $106.6101.2 million, followed by the
City of Concord at $31.1 million, ad valorem property tax at $18.5 million, and Capacity and
Pumped Zone Fees at
$6.3 million. All other sources of revenue are $6.-75 million. Non-revenue sources of funds for
FY 2020-21 include use of reserves at $44&-.515.9 million (see Table 14 for detail), and expected
borrowing of$3 million. They are described elsewhere in this section.
A brief description of Central San's revenue sources and how they are forecasted follows:
• Sewer Service Charge (SSC)— Each customer in Central San's service area pays the SSC, which
applies to both residential and non-residential customers. It is assessed annually on the customer's
property tax bill, or, for those customers who do not receive a property tax bill, billed directly by
Central San, to pay for the collection and treatment of wastewater. The SSC is based on customer
class. The basis for the charge is the strength and volume of the wastewater discharged, and
customers are assigned to various classes for billing purposes. SSCs vary by customer class and
have been developed to ensure that each class pays its proportionate share of operating,
maintaining, repairing, and upgrading the sewer collection and treatment system. Periodic cost of
service studies reviews and adjust the allocation of costs to individual customer classes based on
their impact to the sewer system. For residential customers, separate rates are charged to single
family and multi-family residences. Non-residential customers are typically billed based on their
water consumption and business type. For budgetary purposes, the forecast for the SSC is based
on prior year revenue, estimated growth derived from anticipated residential construction, and
predicted changes in non-residential water consumption.
• City of Concord—Central San receives revenues from the City of Concord which are calculated and
billed in accordance with the terms of a contractual agreement for the treatment of wastewater
from both the City of Concord and the City of Clayton. The Cities are responsible for paying their
flow-proportional share of the operating and maintenance costs for Central San's treatment plant.
The amount of revenue is forecast annually for budgeting purposes by multiplying the
City of Concord's estimated flow percentage by the budgeted treatment plant and associated costs.
The amount due is invoiced by Accounting in August for the prior fiscal year.
• Property Tax Revenue—Central San receives a share of the ad valorem property taxes collected by
Contra Costa County on properties within the service area. These taxes are used to pay debt
service requirements, and the remaining funds are allocated to the Capital Improvement Program.
This revenue is forecast by reviewing historic property tax revenue and adjusting for anticipated
changes in property value.
• Capacity Fees (Gravity and Pumped Zone)—These fees are collected from new construction and
expansion of non-residential facilities which result in an added wastewater burden. The fee is
calculated as an equity buy-in. Residential parcels are charged a flat per-unit fee, and non-
residential parcels are typically charged based on the business type and building square footage,
which represents their anticipated wastewater burden. The amounts due are collected before
plans are approved. The budgeted amount is estimated by the Planning & Development Services
Division based on trend analysis and anticipated construction activity for the upcoming year. A
specific type of capacity fees are Pumped Zone Fees—for Nnew developments or expansion in
areas where Pump Stations are required to move wastewater to the Central San treatment plant
pay an additional an additeenakapacity fee to cover pumping infrastructure costs. These fees a-re
afa" shown as Pumiged Zene Fees and are budgeted by multiplying the incremental Pumped
45
May 18, 2020 Special FINANCE Committee Meeting Agenda Packet- Page 416 of 448
Page 323 of 352
Zone Fee times the number of development units anticipated to be subject to such fees.
• Household Hazardous Waste (HHW) Reimbursement—Central San provides a facility where
residents and businesses within the service area may dispose of specified hazardous wastes.
Additionally, residents from specified cities (Concord, Clayton, San Ramon, and parts of Martinez
served by the Mt. View Sanitary District) also have the right to use the facility, and these cities pay
a contractually agreed amount for this service. The amounts due are invoiced by Accounting in
August for the prior fiscal year. The budgeted amounts are based on projected total costs of the
facility, to be shared pro rata by all users within the service area.
• Recycled Water—This represents revenue from the sale of recycled water to customers in
Central San's service area who have recycled water meters. The amounts due are invoiced by
Accounting bi-monthly based on monthly meter readings. The Planning & Development Services
Division forecasts the revenue from recycled water based on projected changes in recycled water
consumption. Other internal use of Recycled Water is not included in reported revenues, but a
calculated ascribed value of this water based on production costs is shown in the Operating
Departments section of this document under the Recycled Water division discussion.
• All Other Revenue Sources—This includes the following:
o Permit and Inspection Fees—These are fees for sewer permits, plan review, inspections, and
related activities, including environmental compliance fees. The amounts are forecast by the
Development Services Supervisor based on anticipated construction activity for the upcoming
year.
o Lease Rental Income—This represents rental income from buffer properties (buildings and
undeveloped land) owned by Central San and rented to third parties through multi-year
agreements. Leases are reviewed by Accounting and Right-of-Way to identify any changes to
multi-year lease rates. Budgeted lease revenue is based on the terms of those leases.
o Stormwater/Pollution Prevention—These are fees collected from Contra Costa County and
certain cities for performing stormwater inspections as required by Contra Costa County's
National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System permit. These services are provided by Central
San's Environmental Compliance group under contract with the Contra Costa Clean Water
Program. Amounts are invoiced by Accounting based on the number of inspections completed.
The budgeted amount is based on a targeted number of inspections to be performed during the
fiscal year.
o Interest Income—This is based on forecast cash levels multiplied by estimated interest rates
over the course of the fiscal year. Given the Federal Reserve's measures in March 2020,
interest income is expected to be below FY 2019-20 levels.
o Developer Fees—These are charges for plan review and inspection of mainline extension
projects by developers and other property owners. The amounts are collected by the Permit
Counter and are budgeted based on estimates by the Planning & Development Services Division
based on trend analysis and anticipated construction activity for the upcoming fiscal year.

o Other—This includes annexation fees, other service charges, and miscellaneous fee revenue.
Amounts are collected by various departments depending on the source of revenue. For the
SIF, other revenue includes an allocation from the O&M fund in an amount necessary to
replenish the SIF to the targeted level after projected expenses in the budget year
• Use of Reserves— Use of, or contribution to, reserves is determined by sub-fund. A contribution to
reserves results from budget year revenues exceeding budget year expenditures. A draw from
reserves results if the reverse is true. Table 14 shows the reserve status by sub-fund and overall
status of the Central San Enterprise Fund.
• Loan Proceeds— Use of anticipated borrowing proceeds to fund the Capital Improvement Budget,
of$3 million, for FY 2020-21 is shown in Table 13.
Tables 2 and 2a below show the overall funding sources of Central San and how those funding sources
are applied to each sub-fund for FY 2020-21 and FY 2019-20.

Tables 3 and 4 show the SSC for FY 2020-21 compared to the FY 2019-20 rates for residential and
non-residential customers. These rates were approved by the Board after a public hearing on
April 18, 2019, through the adoption of a four-year rate ordinance. Since then, two financial
workshops have been held (on November 4, 2019, and March 12, 2020) to discuss Central San's
financial outlook and to receive preliminary Board direction on key financial planning matters. As
committed to in the adoption of the four-year rate ordinance, the Board on April 16, 2020, deliberated
on whether to adjust the previously adopted rates for FY 2020-21, w44-and did not adopt changes4:"s
haRrtes made. However, on May 7, 2020, the Board revisited the matter given the severity of the
economic downturn that appeared to be unfolding and voted to provide a deferment on the
implementation of the incremental rate adjustment that was previously scheduled for FY 2020-21,
effectively continuing the FY 2019-20 rates. This deferment, along with other aspects of rate relief
program that are pending Board consideration as of mid-May as summarized in Figure 2a.

Table 5 indicates the total collected SSC and how such funds are allocated to the O&M and
Capital Budgets. The allocation of the SSC to Capital increases from 31.8% in FY 2019-20 to 57,056.0%
in
FY 2020-21. All the revenue generated by the FY 2020-21 SSC rate increases will be directed to the CIP
and will be used to fund capital spending in FY 2020-21 and subsequent years.

The allocation of SSC between O&M and capital fluctuates each year, and is based on spending
levels, other revenue sources, and reserve balances in each fund. The significant decrease in
the proportion of total SSC being allocated to the O&M fund is attributable to a projected $26.6
million in O&M working capital reserves above the policy required level available as of
June 30, 2020. This amount is attributable to several factors, including lower than anticipated
spending and higher than anticipated revenues in FY 2019-20, and a revision in the reserve
definition. In November 2019, the Board of Directors approved an amendment to the District's
Fiscal Reserves Policy, which in addition to other changes, clarified the definition of"working
capital" to include other current assets and liabilities, in addition to unrestricted cash and
investments, pursuant to best practice guidance published by the GFOA. The largest
component of net increase in available working capital reserves of the O&M fund is the
inclusion of current accounts receivable of$15 million, which includes the significant receivable
due from the City of Concord for treatment services on the books at the close of each fiscal
year, but which relates to the prior year. As a one-time transitional issue, this change in reserve
definition has limited impacts on long-term financial planning and rate setting as the inclusion
of this current receivable asset largely addresses a year-to-year payment timing issue. Refer to
Table 14 for additional information on Reserves.

$66727233 ($24,128,208) 26.9%
0&M revenue decreases by $ 24.1 million, or 245-.526.9%, due primarily to the following:
• In November 2019, the Board approved a revised Fiscal Reserve Policy, which amongst other
matters clarified the definition and calculation of"minimum working capital" to include other
elements of the balance sheet beyond unrestricted cash and investments in line with GFOA
recommended best practices. Pursuant to this revision, O&M reserves are projected to exceed the
minimum working capital reserve requirement as of June 30, 2020, providing for a draw-down of
excess reserve funds of$2-,2.9$_L5.2 million while still maintaining the projected minimum working
capital reserve balance of five-twelfths (5/12) the following year's budget for FY 2020-21. This has
the positive outcome of being able to allocate a larger proportion of FY 2020-21 SSC revenues to
the Sewer Construction Fund for much needed long-term capital investment purposes.
• -�System-wide average SSC rates are were to incrinori as increase by 5.25% effective July 1,
2020. However, this adjustment has been deferred until July 1, 2021. The 0&M allocation of the
SSC decreases from 68.2% in FY 2019-20 to 4344% in FY 2020-21, with the amount allocated to
capital projects increasing from 31.8%to&756%.
• The City of Concord is allocated a share proportional to their flow to the treatment plant and
environmental and regulatory compliance expenses and is billed for administrative overhead and a
finance charge. City of Concord revenue toward O&M costs is expected to be $1-4--615.8 million in
FY 2020-21, a 4-.68.2%tee-increase compared to $14.96 million in FY 2019-20. This is due to

• Decrease in forecasted interest income due to Federal Reserve rate actions in early 2020.
As shown in Table 7, total O&M expenses are projected to be $90.7 million in FY 2020-21, an increase
of$3.1 million from the $87.6 million budget in FY 2019-20. This figure includes the costs related to all
Central San services including wastewater collection and treatment, HHW collection, and recycled

Page 332 of 352
water production and distribution. Central San has maintained a relatively flat O&M budget for six
years in a row (FY 2014-15 to FY 2019-20), with only a modest increase above $90 million for
FY 2020-21. The budget continues to provide funding for strategic initiatives and key activities. Table 7
and Figure 5 show the FY 2020-21 O&M Budget by expense category. Significant savings from a
transition to CaIPERS health benefits has enabled this reduction in O&M spending, despite inflationary
pressures in other expense categories.
O&M salaries and benefits (labeled categories A and B in the table) comprise 59% (56.3%for active and
2.7%for retirees) of the overall O&M Budget. Contributions toward unfunded liabilities (category C)
are another 14.8%. Total labor related costs including Salary, benefits, and Unfunded Actuarial
Accrued Liability (UAAL) and additional contributions reellatedd is are 73.8% of the O&M Budget. All
other expenses (category D) comprise 26.2%.

A. O&M Salaries &Wages
Central San's budgeted salaries are $39.5 million in FY 2020-21, compared to $38.6 million in
FY 2019-20, representing an increase of$0.9 million, or 2.5%. The increase reflects the 2.9% salary
adjustment effective April 2020, and assumed salary adjustment effective April 2021 of 3.75% (the
actual adjustment will be based on the Bay Area Consumer Price Index change from February 2020
to February 2021), and step increases for newer employees. The vacancy factor of 3.25% is
unchanged from the prior year.
B. Benefits and Capitalized Overhead
Total benefits and capitalized labor decreased from $14.3 million in FY 2019-20 to $14 million in
FY2020-21, which are discussed as follows:

Benefits for active employees comprise healthcare costs, workers' compensation costs, payroll
taxes, normal costs for pension and OPEB costs, and benefit vacancy factor. These costs were
$16.4 million in the FY 2019-20 budget and rise to $16.6 million in the FY 2020-21 budget, which
represents a 1.2% increase.
• Previously, compensated absence payouts were included in this grouping, but have now been
moved to O&M salaries and wages.
• The transition to CalPERS for medical benefits for active and retired employees was completed
effective July 1, 2019, resulting in savings of approximately $5.5 million annually.
Changes in benefit cost assumptions are listed below. Given the timing of the budget process,
assumptions were made on program costs pending the availability of actual announced changes by
the providers. These assumed cost changes for budget purposes, and the actual cost changes
subsequently announced by the carriers, are discussed in the bullet points below.
• CaIPERS Medical— No rate increase for the six months starting July 2020 and a 7.25% rate increase
is assumed for the six months starting January 2021.
• CCCERA—The retirement normal cost contribution rate is decreasing 6.7%for legacy employees
and increasing 2.1%for Public Employees' Pension Reform Act employees. -The overall
contribution rate decreases slightly from FY 2019-20 to FY 2020-21. In FY 2020-21, the required
total contribution percentage per the CCCERA 12/31/2018 valuation report is 49.86%, which is
58
May 18, 2020 Special FINANCE Committee Meeting Agenda Packet- Page 429 of 448
Page 336 of 352
19.2%for normal costs and 30.66% for UAAL. In FY 2019-20, the required total contribution
percentage per the 12/31/2017 CCCERA actuarial report was 49.57%, which was 20.57%for
normal costs and 29%for UAAL. These overall contribution rate changes include numerous
factors based on actuarial assumptions and investment performance. As to the factors driving
changes in normal costs (including legacy and PEPRA rates), this includes changes in retirement
rates, demographic changes, and various other actuarial assumptions.
• Delta Dental— No rate increase for the six months starting July 2020 and a 3.75% rate increase is
assumed for the six months starting January 2021.
• Vision — No rate increase for the six months starting July 2020 and a 3% rate increase is
assumed for the six months starting January 2021.
• Long-Term Disability— No rate increase for the six months starting July 2020 and a 3% rate
increase is assumed for the six months starting January 2021.
• Employee Assistance Program— No rate increase for the six months starting July 2020 and a 3%
rate increase is assumed for the six months starting January 2021.
• Workers' Compensation—A 10% rate increase was assumed for budget purposes. The actual
rates have not been finalized. No adjustments were made to the Experience Modification Factor
that adjusts the gross rate of the collective pool to the member agency.
• Life Insurance— No rate increase for the six months starting July 2020 and a 3% rate increase is
assumed for the six months starting January 2021.
The Capitalized Administrative Overhead rate, a credit given for capital work to the 0&M Budget
for non-work hours and overhead, changes from $4.4 million to $5.1 million in FY 2020-21,
representing an increasing effort on internal labor allocated to the Capital Budget.
Benefits for retirees, consisting of health, dental, life, and vision costs increase from $2.3 million in
FY 2019-20 to $2.4 million in FY2020-21.
C. Unfunded Liabilities
Central San has agreements with its employees to provide pension and post-employment
healthcare benefits. Central San prefunds the pension/benefits in accordance with actuarial
calculations that make certain economic and demographic assumptions. The goal is to grow these
prefunded amounts into enough assets to cover the liabilities arising from the promised
pension/benefits. An unfunded liability may occur when those economic/demographic
assumptions are not met, those assumptions are changed, and/or the level of pension/benefits is
adjusted.
Other Post Employment UAAL cost, consisting of health, dental, life, and vision costs increase from
$2.3 million in FY 2019-20 to $2.4 million in FY2020-21.
Fmollien on FY 2020 21, Fepresenting a ineFease of$0.94 milhen r 7 GO/
The pension unfunded liability expense to be paid to CCCERA is $12.1 million in FY 2020-21, which,
compared to the budget of$11.2 million in FY 2019-20, is an increase of$0.94 million, or 8.4%. The
UAAL payment does not yet reflect any impact on pension assets that the market downturn of
March 2020 may cause. If persisting through the December 2020 valuation, UAAL payments could
59
May 18, 2020 Special FINANCE Committee Meeting Agenda Packet- Page 430 of 448
Page 337 of 352
be impacted in FY_ 2=42.2022-23.
The budget also includes $1.25 million for additional contributions t&4e-pa4toward either t#e
.4 �^'�^'_ 'i^""'+' ._. ^ *"^F pension or OPEB obligations, to be determined by the Board during
the fiscal year. This is a continuation of the $1.25 million budgeted in FY 2019-20. To the extent
that budget savings are available with the completion of both FY 2019-20 and FY 2020-21, the
Board may choose to direct part of the savings toward additional unfunded liabilities funding.
D. All Other O&M Expenses
The remaining O&M non-labor expenses increase from 22.3 million in FY 2019-20 to $23.8 million
in FY 2020-21, an increase of 6.7%. Additional information is included in the individual division
budgets. The areas of most significant change include the following:
• Purchased Property Services—This expense category is reporting an increase of$1,850,833, or
41.3%, largely resulting from increases in repairs & maintenance and security services.
Increases in repairs & maintenance were largely attributable to new support and licensing costs
for the new state-of-the-art ERP system expected to "go live" July 1, 2020, as well as security
services being reclassified from the "Other Purchased Services" expense category pursuant to
the new ERP's revised chart of accounts. Finally, greatly expanded on-site security measures
will be necessary to counteract the significant increase in non-employee foot traffic on the
treatment plant premises in conjunction with large scale treatment plant improvement projects
planned next year.
• Other Purchased Services—This expense decreased by$112,755, or 1.8%, due to costs for
professional and technical services remaining steady overall with the increase in costs expected
from the 2020 election largely being offset by reclassifying security services under the
"Purchased Property Services" category pursuant to the new chart of accounts.
• Supplies & Materials—This expense increased marginally by$144,000, or 1.5%. Despite
increases in general supplies and utilities &fuel costs, these increases were largely offset by
savings realized in chemicals costs through the elimination of sodium hydroxide in the sewage
treatment process.
• Other Expenses—This expense decreased by $384, 943, or 18.976%, reflecting a primarily
caused by a decreased allocation from the O&M fund to cover anticipated estimated loss
payments, legal services, and insurance premiums.
Technical Training, Conferences, & Meetings—These costs are an element of Other Expense
and are summarized in Table 8 below. They are—reported separately in the Operating
Departments divisional section. The increase of, ,r included in the Other Expenses tegE)r„
deseribed previeusly and ineFeased by $39-x.532,474, or 79%, due te reflects increased
technical training for both new hires and succession planning efforts with existing staff. Table 8

The substantial reduction in Administration costs is primarily related to the $4.3 million reduction in
retiree benefits, unfunded liabilities payments, and additional unfunded liabilities payment that are
budgeted in the Human Resources division.
Historical Variances in Operations &Maintenance Spending
Figure 8 shows historic O&M budgeted and actual amounts, and actual spending as a percentage of

Staffing, Salaries,and Benefits (Costs included in both O&M and Sewer Construction)
Total labor, benefit, and UAAL related costs increases by$3 million, or 4%, from $74.7 million in
FY 2019-20 to $77.8 million in FY 2020-21.
Total salaries and benefits for active employees are budgeted at $62 million in FY 2020-21, including

employees and retirees) are $13.4 million, up from $12.4 million in FY 2019-20.
Major factors affecting overall salaries and benefits include the following:
• Cost of living adjustment of 2.9%, which is the primary component of the overall salary line item
increase of 3.4%. Other components include funding for step increases/promotions.
• Additional overtime of$0.2 million, an increase of 14%

Budgeted Full-Time Equivalents
Table 11 shows full-time equivalent employee totals for the time periods indicated. The Year-End
Actual figures represent actual staffing as of June 30, 2019. In addition to the 293 budgeted positions,
the General Manager has the ability to add five additional "transitional" positions at any given time to
backfill positions vacated due to an extended leave of absence or as necessary to properly address
succession planning. The costs associated with these positions are funded through vacancy savings.
Table 12 shows the positions by bargaining unit and division.

Staffing Changes
During 2015, a staffing and organizational study['] was completed for Central San. The study
recommended that Central San hire a consultant to conduct a classification study, which was
completed in 2017, to ensure that Central San's classification structure was appropriate, and
employees were working within their job classifications. The budget includes the cost of implementing
the recommendations of the study, as well as other changes to the classification structure that
Central San has deemed as operationally necessary. The FY 2020-21 Budget includes $200,000 in gross
wages and $106,000 for the benefit-related costs of implementing these potential changes.
Overall, staffing is at 293 positions, reflective of the 2015 Organization and Staffing Plan
recommendation, which recommended an additional four positions from the then 287 budgeted
positions. Additionally, two limited duration positions for the permit counter were approved during
FY 2019-20. The 293 staffing figure compares to 291 staff in the FY 2019-20 budget. As described
previously, several budgetary organizational units reported in the prior year were impacted by the
restructuring of Central San's chart of accounts as part of its planned implementation of a new ERP in
FY 2020-21. Some significant changes include: (1) splitting the previously-reported "Office of the
General Manager and Secretary of the District" into sub-units, (2) the creation of Director budgetary
organizational units overseeing each Department, and (3) the consolidation of Safety into Human
Resources. These changes did not impact the reporting structure of Central San or operations
generally but were intended to improve parent-child relationships in the new chart of accounts to
facilitate automated reporting in the new ERP system.
Report is available here: http://centralsan.org/documents/Organization_and_Staffing_Plan.pdf.

Page 344 of 352
Excluding the impact of these structural changes that were largely inconsequential to reporting
structures and operations, reallocations of staffing between divisions and position changes within
divisions are summarized below:
• Creation of Engineering Assistant position (Planning & Development Services)
• Management Analyst transferred from the Office of the General Manager to Human Resources
• Engineering Assistant transferred from Planning & Development Services to the Director of
Engineering &Technical Services (Resource Recovery Program)
• Vacant Senior Buyer position repurposed to Buyer (Purchasing)
• Vacant Payroll Analyst position repurposed to Senior Administrative Technician (Human Resources)
• Vacant Utility Worker positions repurposed to Maintenance Crew Members (Collection System
Operations)
Capital Improvement Budget
Sewer Construction Fund revenues are projected to increase by $33.5 million, from $65.6 million in
FY 2019-20 to $99.1 million in FY 2020-21.
This increase is to cover an extensive CIP, the funding for which will generated through an increase in
SSC of$28.6 million, resulting from additional revenue available from the 5.25% system average rate
increase effective July 1, 2020, and a significantly larger allocation of the SSC to Capital versus 0&M.
The City of Concord reimbursement increases $3.7 million due to increased cost-based reimbursement.
This relates to Concord's flow proportionate share of treatment plant, recycled water and general
improvement components of the capital budget. Additionally, $3 million of borrowing from the State
Revolving Fund is anticipated to fund the Solids Handling Facilities Improvements Project in
FY 2020-21.
The $88 million budget does not include the anticipated carryforward from FY 2019-20, which will be
communicated to the Board after the close of the current fiscal year. The $21.8 million increase, or
33%, in budgeted spending is a significant step toward the increased capital spending that will be
taking place for the next several years as shown in the Ten-Year CIP presented later in this document.
Central San will contribute approximately $14.1 million to capital reserves during FY 2020-21 revenues
exceeding expenditures by that amount. Funding the Sewer Construction Fund (Capital Improvement)
Working Capital Reserves exceeds the requirement of the aforementioned Board Policy No. BP 017 -
Fiscal Reserves. These and prior year contributions to the Sewer Construction Reserve allow for
smoothing of rate requirements to accommodate the significant ramp-up of expenditures that is
continuing in the next several years, with peak capital spending anticipated to reach $110 million in FY
2021-22.
Table 13 below is a summary of the projected FY 2020-21 Sewer Construction Fund revenues and
expenditures. Further details are included in the Capital Improvement Program section.

Impact of Capital Improvement Budget on Ongoing Operations &Maintenance Budget
Central San's Capital Improvement Budget and the extent to which FY 2020-21 nonrecurring capital
investments will affect the proposed or future years' operating budget are described later in this
document. In general, given the nature and composition of the FY 2020-21 Capital Improvement
Budget, these effects are minimal. To the extent that future capital projects could have more
substantial impacts (e.g., additional personnel costs, additional maintenance costs, or additional utility
costs or, conversely, anticipated savings such as reduced utility costs or lower maintenance costs) such
costs would be specified further in the year such projects are budgeted.

Reserve Projections
Board Policy No. BP 017 - Fiscal Reserves sets targets for each of Central San's reserve funds. Fiscal
reserves provide working capital for O&M activities; funding for long-term capital improvement
requirements; fulfillment of legal, regulatory, and contractual obligations; mitigation of risk and liability
exposures; and cash flow emergencies. These reserves were fully funded as of FY 2018-19 but are
adjusted annually based on changes in the targeted balance calculation.
• For the O&M Fund (Working capital reserves) —The Board has set a target of five months (41.7%)
of gross operating expenses at the start of each fiscal year.
• For the Sewer Construction Fund (Working capital reserves)—The Board has set a target of 50% of
the annual Capital Improvement Budget at the start of each fiscal year, excluding capital projects
that are to be funded with bond proceeds.
• For the Self Insurance Fund (SIF) Reserves—The Board has set a target of three times the annual
deductible, $1.5 million. In addition, to help mitigate financial impacts and maintain uninterrupted
service in the event of an emergency or catastrophic event, Central San maintains an Emergency
Fund Reserve balance of
$5 million in the SIF.
Table 14 presents a summary of Central San's current reserve balance projections compared to the
Board Policy targets. The reserve levels are projected to be above the policy-required levels on
June 30, 2020 and 2021. The FY 2020-21 revenue requirement relies on a $10.5 million net use of the
reserve balances:
• The reduction in the O&M reserve is related to higher than policy specified funding in the reserve
at June 30, 2019, anticipated favorable variances for FY 2019-20, and a redefinition of reserve
balance to include non-cash & investment balance sheet accounts (see discussion below).
• The increase in the Sewer Construction reserve relates to the anticipated increase in Capital
Improvement Budget spending in subsequent years, and planned use of cash in those years.
• The reduction in the Self-Insurance Fund reserve is related to higher than required funding in the
reserve at June 30, 2020, due to lower claims expenses in the current fiscal year.
During FY 2019-20, staff completed an assessment of the calculation of the O&M and Sewer
Construction Reserves and proposed certain adjustments which were reflected in an updated BP 017.
Previously, the reserves were calculated simply as cash and investment balances. It was recognized
that certain accrual related adjustments were necessary to in certain instances to reflect a true reserve
balance available for use. The revised definition is used in the calculation of projected reserves shown
in Table 14.
The projected amounts are subject to change based on actual financial results for the current and next
fiscal years.

Also provided on Table 14 is a projection of the Rate Stabilization Account, Pension Trust fund, and
OPEB trust fund. Assumptions include:
—Rate Stabilization Fund Reserve Account: No additional deposits or earnings on the account. The
Board may instead direct a portion of the FY 2019-20 year-end closeout to this account.

2020-21 towards employee related liabilities is deposited here. The Board could instead direct that
amount to the OPEB Trust.
• OPEB Trust Fund: The projected balance as of June 30, 2020 assumes a 185% decline in the equity
portion (60%) of the fund value-due to adverse returns. No additional deposits or earnings on the

Debt Service
Current debt service expenditures include outstanding payments on 2018 Revenue Bonds. Details on
the debt service are included in the Debt Program Section. Figure 9 depicts all existing debt payments
for Central San. Future planned debt issuances would add to this debt profile. Additionally, the SRF
loan, when the loan agreement and repayment schedule is finalized, would also add to these debt
repayment amounts.

Long-Term Spending Trend
Figure 10 shows a long-term trend line of past O&M expenditures, while Figure 11 shows a
long-term trend line of past capital expenditures. The O&M Budget was held essentially flat for a total
of six years (from FY 2014-15 to FY 2019-20). FY 2020-21 provides for an increase of just 2.2% above
the six-year average of the preceding 0&M budgets. Spending in FY 2020-21 is consistent with the
financial plan which recognizes certain inflationary pressures.

Budget Actual
Capital spending has been ramping up significantly since FY 2016-17, with spending projected to
average $90.7 million per year over the next decade (in 2020 dollars). Over the past 10 years, actual
spending (and "projected for FY 2020-21) has been $42-7334.667 million, while budgeted spending
(called "estimated expenditures" prior to FY 2017-18) was $367.6 million...
