Chair McGill inquired if staff had considered switching out the manholes where
the District has the most overflows. Mr. Seitz stated that staff has not
specifically looked at overflow areas, rather have concentrated on the highest
visible and walkable areas.
Mr. Seitz stated that he estimates completing 50 manhole replacements a
month and would most likely be able to do the recommended 1,700 in three
years or less. Once those are completed, staff will then look at high overflow
areas.
In response to a question from Chair McGill regarding advertisement of this
program, Ms. Barnett stated that it will be incorporated into the Central San
Pipeline newsletter.
COMMITTEE ACTION: Received the information and provided input to
staff.
b.* Receive update on Central San's prior efforts to develop an Electric Vehicle
Charging Stations project, District Project 8252
Ms. LaBella reviewed the attached updated presentation.
Regarding the thirty percent design plan shown on slide 9, Mr. Petit interjected
that the most substantial cost, regardless of the level of the charging station
selected, will be to bring the electrical power connections and conduits from
north of the Pump and Blower Building into the Plant Operations Building
parking lot.
Ms. LaBella continued the presentation, explaining that the level numbers
indicate lowest to highest speed of the recharge and that Level 1 is not
recommended.
Mr. Bailey commented that he is concerned Level 2 may soon become
obsolete. Ms. LaBella explained that the Level 2 recharge speed would still be
suitable for employees having eight hours during the workday to recharge. She
added that for Level 3 chargers, there is a higher amount of grant funding
available and potential for a higher rebate, if Central San qualifies for it.
Member Hockett commented that she thinks the District would be remiss to
pursue less than Level 3 chargers, noting that in the future there will be more
electric vehicles. She asked if staff has considered replacing fleet vehicles with
electric vehicles and installing charging stations at the Collection Systems
Operations (CSO) building. Ms. LaBella responded that if the Governor's
order to halt the sale of gasoline-driven vehicles by 2035 remains in place, that
is something that Central San should be moving to and staff could research
that option and bring information back to the Committee.

There was a discussion on the amount of time it takes to recharge a battery
with the Level 3 charger compared to Level 2. Based on information shared
by the electric vehicle owners in the meeting, the volts and amps of a charging
station determine the speed of the recharge and the cost. A Level 3 (480-volt
charger) will recharge twice as fast as a 240-volt charger which can take
2.5 hours to recharge an electric vehicle battery.
Mr. McDonald commented that most of the cost for this project is attributed to
the parking lot disposal issue and to bringing the electrical power connections
and conduits to the Plant Operations Building parking lot.
Chair McGill stated that this project is consistent with Central San's mission
and that Level 3 seemed to be the more appropriate choice.
Mr. Petit advised that there is flexibility when deciding whether to rent/lease or
purchase any Level of the charging stations, and the decisions can be made
once the infrastructure was complete, noting that there would be less flexibility
on setting the charge for use should the District go with a rent/lease option. Mr.
Bailey, in support of Level 3, added that a vendor could lock Central San into
Level 2 charging stations and, either way, would need to recover their costs.
Chair McGill inquired whether there was any concern with social inequity if
only the affluent will benefit. Mr. Bailey shared that a few years ago some
employees expressed concern that some were getting free electricity to power
their electric vehicles while others had to pay for gas to power their vehicles.
Member Hocket agreed that the service should not be free to employees,
which is why the stations can accept credit cards.
Mr. Bailey advised that during the last discussion with the REEP Committee,
one of the Board Members asked if Contra Costa County would be interested
in a collaborative effort. Ms. LaBella stated that after speaking with the County,
it was determined that if they were to invest in an electric vehicle project, their
preference would be at a facility that had more employees in the vicinity and
greater potential for usage. Mr. Bailey requested this information be added to
the presentation to the full Board.
Ms. LaBella recapped the input received from the Committee. The
recommendation to the full Board will be to approve implementation of the
infrastructure at the Plant Operations building parking lot for Level 3 charging
stations that accept credit card payment. Additionally, staff will request input
from the full Board whether staff should concurrently research expanding
implementation to the CSO site, and the feasibility of transitioning Central San
fleet vehicles to electric vehicles over time.
COMMITTEE ACTION: Received the update and provided input to staff.

C. Receive update on the most recent meeting of the Bay Area Clean Water
Agencies (BACWA)
Ms. Schectel reviewed the memorandum included in the agenda material. She
discussed the initial draft of the Sanitary Sewer System Waste Discharge
Requirements. She advised that the Regional Water Board provided a draft
version of the Climate Change survey in January and five BACWA members
made suggestions to improve the survey questions. Once finalized, the plan is
to provide it to all BACWA agencies.
COMMITTEE ACTION: Received the update.
6. Announcements
Ms. Barnett stated that an article to promote recycled water usage will be included in
the next Pipeline issue.
Ms. Young advised that Ms. Saldana would be assisting the Secretary of the District's
office with taking minutes during Committee meetings.
7. Suggestions for future agenda items
a. Receive list of upcoming agenda items and provide suggestions for any other
future agenda items
Chair McGill requested the following items:
1. Add a new item to receive an update on advertising or any other efforts to
encourage customers to take advantage of recycled water.
2. Schedule specific meeting dates for these Unscheduled items: Future
Projects in Process (mobile shower/restroom unit and homeless
encampments), Microplastics Update, and Wipes Update.
COMMITTEE ACTION: Received the list and provided input to staff.
8. Future scheduled meetings
Chair McGill stated that the July 19 meeting may need to be rescheduled if it is the
same date as the Contra Costa Special Districts Association meeting.

for purchase of EVs.
• Electric Vehicle Charging Stations (EVCS) are being installed at
businesses and public areas (e.g.; public parking garages,
airports, transportation hubs, etc.).
• Businesses/agencies are installing EVCS for both employees and
customers.
