4. Items for Committee Recommendation to Board
a. Receive AgLantis 2019 Annual Report related to the CoCo San Sustainable
Farm Project and farm related updates
Ms. Gemmell reviewed the memorandum included with the agenda material.
She reviewed the performance metrics and highlighted the goals included for
the Farm. It was noted that all six goals were met for the last year. Included in
the report was a five-year plan provided by AgLantis regarding expansion of
crops, educational components and fundraising.
Member McGill advised that due to the shelter-in-place order, the Farm was
forced to cancel plant sales at the Master Gardeners'tour. He approved the
goals provided.
Chair Pilecki stated that he was comfortable with the performance metrics and
the financial report received for the prior year but believed the five-year plan
going forward was inadequate. He requested that staff speak with Dr. Phinney
to request a more extensive five-year plan with timelines and broader
descriptions, including the caveats for personal protective equipment and
social distancing in relation to COVID-19, as well as subtopics under the goals.
He did not recommend Board receipt until the goals include this information.
Member McGill concurred. Both Committee Members were pleased with the
progress to date.
COMMITTEE ACTION: Reviewed and requested that a more extensive
five-year plan for the Farm, including timelines and broader descriptions,
be provided to the Committee at a future meeting.
5. Other Items
a. Receive quarterly Permit Counter Activity Report
Ms. Gemmell reviewed the information included with the agenda material. The
average Permit Counter activity was down for the month of April by
approximately 40 applications per day. It was noted that since May 4, staff has
seen an uptick in permit requests with construction restrictions being relaxed in
Phase 3 of the COVID-19 shelter-in-place orders.
Chair Pilecki asked if the development inspectors were remaining busy during
the shelter-in-place. Ms. Gemmell stated that they have been busy with

reviewing the updates to the standard specifications, which will be presented
to the Engineering & Operations Committee next month. All five development
inspectors were now back in the field daily and have resumed their functions.
COMMITTEE ACTION: Received the report.
b. Receive update on the most recent meeting of the Bay Area Clean Water
Agencies (BACWA)
Ms. Schectel provided a verbal update on the following items discussed at the
BACWA meeting on May 15, 2020:
• COVID-19 Response and Wastewater Studies;
• Nutrients, Environmental Laboratory Accreditation Program
(ELAP) TNI Standards Adoption;
• PFAS/State Water Board;
• Exfiltration; and
• Elected New Chair and Vice Chair for July 2020 through June
2021
In response to a question from Member McGill, Ms. Schectel stated that
monitoring for COVID-19 consists of testing influent, effluent, and biosolids to
determine the presence and makeup of any detected virus. Using samples
from wastewater may provide predictive tools for future outbreaks. Mr. Petit
advised that Central San has developed a taskforce team to look into the
various studies and will provide more information to the Board when available.
Member McGill asked if staff could analyze for COVID-19 in the wastewater.
Ms. Schectel stated that Central San currently does not have that ability in-
house.
Ms. Schectel advised that the ELAP TNI standards (as they relate to
laboratory testing standardization) on quality assurance and control were
adopted this month by the State Water Resources Control Board and go into
effect in October, with compliance being phased in over the next three years.
A new BACWA chair was elected for Fiscal Year 2021, Amit Mutsoody from
San Jose. Eileen White, from East Bay Municipal Utilities District was elected
as Vice Chair. Ms. Schectel, who is the current chair, stated that she had been
thankful to serve in that capacity for the past year and a half.
There was a discussion regarding joint powers of authority signatures and
Central San.
COMMITTEE ACTION: Received the update.
