General Manager's Message
Honorable Members of the Board of Directors:
I am pleased to present the Central Contra Costa Sanitary District's (Central San's) Fiscal Year (FY)
2021-22 combined budget. As we celebrate our 75th year, this budget represents our 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.
Over the past 75 years, Central San has grown along with the communities we serve. Today we collect
and clean more than 13 billion gallons of wastewater every year for nearly half a million residents and
more than 3,000 businesses. We also provide exceptional customer service through innovative
recycled water and household hazardous waste (HHW) programs, as well as award-winning public
outreach and student educational programs. These services will continue to receive the support they
need in this budget.
Through proactive maintenance, we've extended the lifespan of our facilities and equipment to make
every dollar work harder for our customers. However, parts of our system have reached the end of
their useful lives, and significant capital investments are needed to ensure we can continue to provide
the level of service our customers are accustomed to. This budget reflects these critical infrastructure
needs, including renovations to our solids handling and recycled water production and storage
facilities. We also are investing in upgrades to our pumping stations and replacing aging neighborhood
sewer pipes to ensure reliable, trouble-free service for decades to come.
Innovation and Essential Service
This has been a year like no other in Central San's history. The COVID-19 pandemic has underscored
the centrality of public health to our communities, our economy, and our way of life. We've had to
make significant changes in how we work to help keep our employees and customers healthy and safe.
Yet, we've risen to the challenge, providing uninterrupted wastewater collection and cleaning services
for our customers throughout this critical time.
Through ingenuity and innovation, we developed new ways
to meet our customers' needs, even when we can't meet
them face to face. We implemented enhanced safety
protocols and contactless procedures for our permit counter _
and HHW facilities and launched new virtual public/school
education programs. Through our participation in COVID-19
regional monitoring and research efforts, we're supporting — -
the emerging science of wastewater-based epidemiology,
which is helping scientists and public health officials more
effectively track and combat the virus and prepare for future
pandemics.

r � .
June 3, 2021 Regular Board Meeting Agenda Packet 1page 108 of 646
Page 16 of 332
Central San is no exception. We're pursuing federal relief to address the emergency expenditures
necessitated by the pandemic. We also recognize the challenges many of our customers are facing,
which is why we waived collecting the rate increase which went into effect July 1, 2020, for residential
and commercial customers, and refunded the sewer service charge for schools for the period when
they were closed. We will continue to monitor the economic impacts of the pandemic and be ready to
respond.
A Year of Milestones
Despite the challenges, we continue to make headway on our strategic goals. We completed
implementation of our new Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system, which will streamline
processes, enhance functionality, and provide better reporting tools to help Central San manage our
resources. We also implemented numerous infrastructure projects in alignment with our 20-year
master plan, including:
A&MIR • Replaced seven miles of aging neighborhood sewer
pipes
�" • Began work on filter plant and clearwell improvements
Y to ensure the continued reliability of our recycled water
system and advance our vision to provide expanded
+ recycled water capacity
,, '' • Launched a pilot program using state-of-the-art
technology to assess the condition of our largest sewers
Completed a series of critical inspections and
3
improvements to our outfall—the 6-foot diameter, 3.5-
mile pipe that carries clean, treated water from our
"- plant to Suisun Bay
' • Completed upgrades to the Emergency Sludge Loadout
' J Facility, a critical step in the planned improvements to
our solids handling facility
To cap off these successes, we were again honored with a Peak Performance Platinum Award, marking
23 consecutive years 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.

Community Profile
For almost 75 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
Site. A short distance away, the Cities of 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.

Organizational Structure
Central San is governed by a Board of Directors whose five members were elected at-large on a non-
partisan basis and serve a four-year term. Commencing with the 2022 election the District will
transition to area-based elections.
Under area-based elections, the
District has been divided into five
separate election areas called
"divisions" and voters residing in each Board of
area will select one representative to Directors
serve on the Board.
General
The Board appoints the General Man I ager
Manager, the Counsel for the District, Director of
and the Secretary of the District. Operatluns
Central San is organized into three
departments: Administration (which
includes HR and Secretary of the Environmental
District), Engineering and Technical Repulatory
Services, and Operations. Compliance
Planning&
Central San currently has 293 budgeted Development
full-time employees. Two additional Services
positions were authorized by the Board
during FY 2019-20 which were
expected to be transitional for a period
of not more than two years, and both _®
such positions have been removed as
of April 2021. The budget for FY 2021-
22 is proposed at 291 positions.
This team of employees is led by a General Manager, three Department Directors, and 11 Division
Managers.
The chart on the right depicts the operating divisions and programs that are funded in the budget.
Central San's main headquarters, Board Room, and treatment plant are located at 5019 Imhoff Place in
Martinez. Central San's Collection System Operations are headquartered at 1250 Springbrook Road in
Walnut Creek.

Budgeting Calendar, Process, and Spending Authorities
The budget development process for FY 2021-22 started midway through FY 2020-21 with updates to
the 10 year financial plan and a review of the potential impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on Central
San costs and revenues. Board discussion of these matters took place in two workshops, on December
17, 2020 and March 25, 2021. Board guidance on these matters was used in the budget development
during this time period, and through the preparation of the budget book in April.
The budget was developed through an iterative process. Initial budget proposals were input into the
new Oracle budgeting module and the results were then reviewed by the General Manager and
discussed with the relevant Directors and division manager. After several rounds of refinement and
changes, the numbers were compiled and presented in the budget book which was finalized in April
and provided to the Board in early 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 2021-22 is the second 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 were
to 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
approved rates for FY 2020-21; however on May 7, 2020, the Board voted to not collect the
incremental portion of the rate that was scheduled for FY 2020-21, thereby continuing the FY 2019-20
rates for FY 2020-21. The public hearing for FY 2021-22 was conducted on April 15, 2021, where the
Board continued the current course of the rate increase scheduled to take effect for FY 2021-22.

Public participation has been invited throughout all aspects of these planning processes. Documents
are published on the Central San website for public review. Public input is taken at Committee and
Board meetings, financial workshops, and public hearings on these matters.
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).
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 th e 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.
As discussed elsewhere in this document, due to consideration of a potential debt financing
transaction that may take place in June 2021 (which is not reflected in this document), a budget
amendment may be proposed to reflect the effects of this transaction on funding sources, and other
impacts to the Operations & Maintenance, Capital, and Debt Service budgets.
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 following tables:

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, outline 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 FY 2020-21 strategic
accomplishments and performance (based on information available during the publication of this book
in spring 2021), as well as objectives for FY 2021-22. The FY 2019-20 performance against the metrics
included in each of the divisions' sections is measured against the targets included in 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. 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 2021-22, 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. 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.
June 3, 2021 Regular Board Meeting Agenda Packet Tpage 132 of 646
Page 40 of 332
• 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 2021-22 is $2.5 million,
unchanged from the amount budgeted in FY 2020-21. The debt service payment 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 require 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 pursuant to GASB 84, commencing with FY 2021-22, this
budgetary "other fund" is no longer reported in Central San's comprehensive annual
financial report 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 (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 2019-20. 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, 2021 and June 30, 2022.
• 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, and an addition contribution of$2.15 million of available monies from the FY 2019-20
financial close. Rate Stabilization Fund Reserve Accounts were created within the 0&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
comprehensive annual financial report employs proprietary fund accounting, reporting actual expenses
and revenues 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 outflow over the course of
a fiscal year (July 1 through June 30) excluding physical and intangible assets such as depreciation
expense. Also, while the annual budget emphasizes sub-fund budgetary projections and results, the
comprehensive annual financial report emphasizes actual financial results reported in a consolidated
enterprise fund format.
Central San's accounts and transactions are tracked on a full accrual basis for year end-financial
reporting, which is the basis of accounting under 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
financial reporting such as the comprehensive annual financial report, 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 financial reporting such as the comprehensive annual financial report,
pension and OPEB expense adjustments are included, and employer contributions to the underlying
irrevocable plan trusts are excluded for income statement reporting purposes.

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.
Regulatory Accounting
In April 2021, the Board adopted BP 046— Regulatory Accounting, which, in accordance with GASB 62,
allows for the treatment of specified expenditures as either operating or capitalizable expenditures.
The policy addresses the situation where certain expenditures connected with programs that will
provide benefits to Central San customers over a multi-year period may be amortized or recovered
through rates over a multi-year period, rather than as 0&M expenditures recognized in a single period.
The policy provides for transparency in requiring that items to be so treated are disclosed to the Board,
with an assessment of the rate impact. Expenditures in this proposed budget which are to be subject
to regulatory accounting treatment are:

Implementation of a New Chart of Accounts
This budget, as with FY 2020-21, has been prepared to reflect the updated chart of accounts
implemented as part of the Oracle Cloud ERP project which went live in FY 2020-21. The updated chart
of accounts was based on the previous chart of accounts with certain modifications to improve account
hierarchies, and logical structure of both organizational units and accounts (i.e., expenses, revenues,
etc.) to facilitate financial reporting through the new ERP. The updated chart of accounts also reflects
best practice guidance published by the Government Finance Officers Association (GFOA). For this
reason, there may be differences in expenditure line items and groupings in this book when comparing
budgeted expenditures from FY 2020-21 on to prior fiscal years (FY 2019-20 and prior). Examples of
changes arising from the implementation of the new chart of accounts include the following:
Type of Change Examples
Movement of particular • Board of Directors fees and benefits were previously classified as
expenditures from one "Other Expenditures." Now, Board fees are included in the
category to another "Salaries&Wages" parent category,and Board benefits are in the
Employee Benefits category,although both continue to be tracked
separately for accounting purposes.
• Other Post Employment Benefit(OPEB)costs were previously
reported entirely under"retiree expenditures". Now, budgeted
OPEB costs are being split between the actuarially determined
normal cost and unfunded actuarial accrued liability(UAAL)cost
components. The normal cost component is reported under the
"Benefits"expense category,while the UAAL cost component is
reported under the"Retirees"expense category.
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 • Org Unit Splits—Some organization units have been split apart to
Units 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
Department Directors were created for each of Central San's three
departments to reflect Central San's current 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 has
been consolidated into the Human Resources and Organizational
Development Division.

Debt Management and Continuing Disclosure Policy
In August 2017, the Board adopted 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 (including in 1994 and 2009), 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, with the goal that over a 10 year period, the amount of
funding needed for ongoing pipeline replacement is to generally be collected through SSC rates,
capacity fees, and/or taxes, while debt may be used to cover the level of funding needed for the
remaining portion of the capital program.
Currently, Central San is repaying 2018 Revenue Bonds. As of June 30, 2020, total outstanding debt
associated with infrastructure improvements was $19.447 million, which was reduced to $17.707
million on September 1, 2020 through the annual debt service principal payment. As noted in the
"Debt" section of this document, borrowings under a SRF loan are anticipated to begin in FY 2021-22
for the Solids Handling Facilities Improvements Project. The debt service schedule for this loan has not
yet been finalized, so an amortization schedule is not provided in this document. However, no
repayments will be due in FY 2021-22. Staff is also working on a mid-year 2021 bond offering which
may fund a portion of FY 2021-22's capital expenditures. Debt service on this contemplated offering
would replace other budgeted costs. A budget amendment to reflect the impact of this offering may
be proposed after the issuance is complete.
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 0&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 because of
the District's generally practiced pay-as-you-go philosophy for funding capital expenditures. 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, BP No. 005—Statement of Investment Policy, last updated in the fall of
2020, 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.
June 3, 2021 Regular Board Meeting Agenda Packet4:page 139 of 646
Page 47 of 332
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.
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 March 31, 2021, the GASB 45 (OPEB) Trust had a balance of$80.9
million, an increase from $69.8 million on June 30, 2020.
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 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 O&M Budget
FY 2020-21 $1,250,000 Budgeted funds in O&M Budget
FY 2021-22 $1,250,000 Budgeted funds in 0&M Budget
As of March 31, 2021, the Pension Prefunding Trust had a balance of$12.2 million, an increase from
$10.3 million on June 30, 2020.
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 projecting rates for the first ten years are the
primary focus.
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 25, 2021 Board Financial
June 3, 2021 Regular Board Meeting Agenda Packet4:page 140 of 646
Page 48 of 332
Planning Workshop. The updated financial plan for FY 2021-22 estimated O&M spending at $94.9
million and capital spending at $106.9 million. The original financial plan adopted as the basis for the
4-year rate increase estimated FY 2021-22 0&M spending at $93.9 million and capital spending at
$110.4 million. The updated financial plan was based on the following assumptions:
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
assumptions in the memoranda of understanding with the bargaining units and agreements with
unrepresented employees.
• Other key assumptions were summarized in the March 25, 2021 financial workshop presentation
available on the Central San website.
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 $907.5 million to $926.8 million), with
the updated cost of the Solids Handling Facilities Improvements Project, then inflated by 3%, to $951
million, so that the total is stated in 2021 dollars. The amount was then updated by reshaping cash
flows over the ten-year period to a total of$939.7 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 2021-22 capital budget and the Ten-Year CIP.

Financial Summary
The FY 2021-22 Budget provides the resources necessary to advance the Strategic Plan and meet the
challenges Central San faces as it continues to provide high quality service while replacing aging
infrastructure. The FY 2021-22 budget also complies with the Financial Policies discussed in the
previous section.
Central San's total budget for FY 2021-22 is $ 202.7 million, representing an increase of 11.2%, or $20.4
million, compared to the FY 2020-21 budget of$182.4 million, which changes by individual spending
category as follows:
• The FY 2021-22 O&M Budget is $91.0 million, an increase of 0.3%, or$0.3 million, from the
FY 2020-21 budget of$90.7 million.
• The main driver of the increase in the total budget is a 22.6%, or$19.9 million, increase in
sewer construction investment, from $88.0 million in FY 2020-21 to $108.0 million in FY
2021-22.
• Debt service is essentially unchanged at approximately$2.5 million, consistent with the 2018 bond
amortization schedule.
• The Self-Insurance Fund (SIF) spending budgeted at $1.3 million for the costs of premiums and
estimated losses based on historical trends and represents a or 11.4%, or $0.1 million, increase
from the $1.2 million funding level of the FY 2020-21 budget.

The SSC is the largest source of revenue for FY 2021-22 at $107.9 million, followed by the
City of Concord at $24.5 million, ad valorem property tax at $19.8 million, and Capacity Fees at
$6.0 million. All other sources of revenue are $5.6 million. Non-revenue sources of funds for FY
2021-22 include expected borrowing of$34.12 million, 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 a 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 review 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. Water consumption volumes for
commercial customers was reduced in 2020, which is the basis for FY 2021-22 SSC billing, affecting
revenues by approximately $4.3 million. The financial plan assumes a recovery in water volumes
over a four-year period.
• 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.
Under the current arrangement, the City of Concord reimburses Central San once a year on a fiscal
year basis. Following the close of the fiscal year, the Finance Division submits an invoice to the City
of Concord which is generally paid by August/September.
• 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)—Gravity and Pumped Zone Capacity 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. Pumped Zone Fees are collected specifically to cover pumping infrastructure costs
June 3, 2021 Regular Board Meeting Agenda Packet4rage 144 of 646
Page 52 of 332
for new developments or expansion in areas where pump stations are required to move
wastewater to the Central San treatment plant. These fees are budgeted by multiplying the
incremental Pumped 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 the Finance
Division 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 the
Finance Division 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 Program 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 the Finance Division 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 Investment Income—This is based on forecast cash levels multiplied by estimated interest
rates over the course of the fiscal year. Interest rates are anticipated to remain low in
FY 2021-22.
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
June 3, 2021 Regular Board Meeting Agenda Packet4fage 145 of 646
Page 53 of 332
SIF, other revenue includes an allocation from the 0&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 calculated separately 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 of$34.12 million to fund the Capital
Improvement Budget for FY 2021-22 is shown in Table 13. Central San is currently exploring a mid-
2021 bond offering which may be used to fund a large portion of FY 2021-22 (and potentially

Sewer Service Charge
Tables 3 and 4 show the SSC for FY 2021-22 compared to the FY 2020-21 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, four financial
workshops have been held (on November 4, 2019; March 12, 2020; December 17, 2020; and
March 25, 2021) to discuss Central San's financial outlook and to receive Board direction on key
financial planning matters. As committed to in the adoption of the four-year rate ordinance, on April
15, 2021, the Board deliberated on whether to adjust the previously adopted rates for FY 2021-22. The
Board did not adopt changes, allowing the rates to go into effect for July 2021.

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. In FY 2020-21, only the
rates from the prior year were collected, providing a rate increase holiday for FY 2020-21.

Table 5 indicates the total collected SSC and how such funds are allocated to the sub-funds.
The allocation of the SSC to Capital decreases from 56.0% in FY 2020-21 to 31.6% in FY 2021-22.
The FY 2020-21 allocation of SSC to Capital was temporarily higher than typical, due to the large
reserve balance in the O&M fund that was drawn down in FY 2020-21 to cover 0&M
expenditures. The allocation of the SSC to 0&M increases from 44.0% in FY 2020-21 to 66.9%
in FY 2021-22, which is more in line with the historical 0&M to Capital fund split. Table 5 also
shows a direct allocation of SSC to the self-insurance fund to restore the self-insurance fund
balance to the required $6.5 million level. This is a change in presentation, as in prior years this
replenishment was routed through the O&M fund as an expenditure.

The allocation of SSC between the sub-funds fluctuates each year and is based on spending
levels, other revenue sources, and reserve requirements and balances in each fund. The above
allocation is based on the overall budget assumptions as specified in this document. As the
District is currently exploring a bond offering that may be used to fund a portion of FY 2021-22
and FY 2020-21 capital expenditures, the allocation of SSC to O&M and Capital sub-funds may
be revised through a budget amendment if this bond offering proceeds.

Uses of Funds
The uses of funds (expenditures and contributions to reserves) for FY 2021-22 are shown in Figure 3.
Sewer construction funding is anticipated at 90% of the budgeted level, consistent with the assumption
in the financial plan that was the basis for the FY 2021-22 financial workshop on March 25, 2021. The
use of funds also incorporates a $6.0 million contribution to reserves. This total contribution to
reserves is comprised of a $5.2 million contribution to the Rate Stabilization Account from O&M and a
net contribution to reserves of$0.8 million between the O&M, Sewer Construction and Self-Insurance
Funds to retain reserves at the minimum fund levels defined by the Fiscal Reserves Policy.

0&M revenue increases by $27.5 million, or 42.1%, due primarily to the following:
• For FY 2020-21, the allocation of SSC to 0&M was reduced due to a higher than required beginning
reserve level. This was the result of a redefinition of the elements comprising the 0&M reserves.
For FY 2021-22, the allocation of SSC to O&M returns to a more typical level after the one-time
impact of the fiscal reserve change noted. Further, a planned transfer of the FY 2020-21 O&M
variances ($5.3 million) to the Rate Stabilization Fund is assumed, so the SSC allocation to O&M is
increased to provide for this and still meet the O&M reserve policy specified level.
• 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 $15.8 million in
FY 2021-22, essentially unchanged from the FY 2020-21 budgeted level.
As shown in Table 7, total O&M expenses are projected to be $91.0 million in FY 2021-22, an increase
of just $0.3 million from the $90.7 million budget in FY 2020-21. 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 seven
years in a row (FY 2014-15 to FY 2020-21), with only modest increases above $90 million for
FY 2020-21 and FY 2021-22. The budget continues to provide funding for strategic initiatives and key
activities, including ongoing efforts to respond to risks associated with the COVID-19 pandemic. Table
7 and Figure 5 show the FY 2021-22 O&M Budget by expense category.
June 3, 2021 Regular Board Meeting Agenda Packet5rage 154 of 646
Page 62 of 332
Measures which have facilitated the net result of only a relatively minor increase ($0.3 million, or 0.3%)
in the O&M budget from FY 2020-21 include:
• Adoption of a regulatory accounting policy whereby certain expenditures are included in the
capital budget. See "Regulatory Accounting" in section "Financial Planning Policies". For
FY 2021-22, this treatment resulted in approximately $1.2 million of costs being budgeted in
the Capital budget that may otherwise have been budgeted in O&M.
• Budgeting for OPEB expenditures at the actuarially determined contribution (ADC) level, rather
than the pay-as-you go level in previous years. As a result, approximately$1 million of pay-as-
you-go expenditures will be reimbursed from the OPEB Trust, reducing the amount that would
have been budgeted as an O&M expense.
• An increase in the headcount vacancy factor from 2% in the FY 2020-21 budget to 3% in the
FY 2021-22 budget. Compared to the prior year budget, this had the impact of increasing the
vacancy factor credit by$0.6 million, reducing total FY 2021-22 budgeted labor costs (wages,
benefits, UAAL) by a total of$2.5 million.
• Providing direct funding to the self-insurance fund from Sewer Service Charge revenue, rather
than routing such funding through the 0&M sub-fund. This removes $1,576,419 that would
have been included in the 0&M budget (compared with a budgeted $450,000 for FY 2020-21).
This treatment is appropriate in order to avoid "double counting" of spending by including the
transfer from 0&M to self-insurance as an expenditure in the 0&M fund, and the self-insurance
expenditures in the Self-Insurance Fund; this affects budget summary Table 1.
• A March 2021 California Supreme Court ruling regarding the interpretation of State of California
Code may increase the scope of service work for which payment of prevailing wages are to be
paid. This may increase costs in certain O&M spending categories. Any such impacts have not
been reflected in this budget document, as an impact assessment has not yet been completed.
To the extent these are significant, budget modifications may be necessary, or spending
reduced in other areas to fund these additional costs.
0&M salaries and benefits (labeled categories A and B in Table 7) comprise 57.6% of the overall O&M
Budget. Contributions toward unfunded liabilities (category C) are another 15.4%. Total labor-related
costs including Salary, Benefits, and Unfunded Actuarial Accrued Liabilities (UAAL) and additional
contributions are 73.0% of the O&M Budget, slightly less than the 73.8% in FY 2020-21 budget. All
other expenses (category D) comprise 27.0%, up from 26.2% in FY 2020-21.

The lettered O&M Fund expense categories in the preceding charts (Figures 5 and 6) correspond to the
descriptions below.
A. Salaries &Wages
Central San's budgeted salaries are $39.7 million in FY 2021-22, compared to $39.5 million in
FY 2020-21, representing an increase of$0.2 million, or 0.4%. The increase reflects a 1.75%
(Managers/Unrepresented) to 2.0% (Local One, MS/CG) salary adjustment effective April 2021, an
estimated placeholder of 3%for April 2022, and step increases for newer employees. The vacancy
factor has been increased from 2% in FY 2020-21 to 3% in FY 2021-22 based on actual recent
experience, which mitigates much of the growth in this expense category.
B. Benefits and Capitalized Overhead
Total benefits and capitalized labor increased from $11.5 million in FY 2020-21 to $12.7 million in
FY 2021-22, which are discussed as follows:
Table 7a— Benefits and Capitalized Overhead Detail
FY iBudget
Budget Budget Variance($) Variance(%)
Benefits for Active Employees $16,628,569 $17,202,629 $574,060 3.5%
Capitalized Administrative ($5,083,396) ($4,520,000) $563,396 -11.1%
Overhead
Total, Benefits for Active
Employees net of Capitalized $11,545,173 $12,682,629 $1,137,456 9.9%
Administrative Overhead
Excluding the capitalized administrative overhead credit, benefits for active employees comprise of
healthcare costs, workers' compensation costs, payroll taxes, normal costs for pension and OPEB,
and benefit vacancy factor. These costs were $16.6 million in the FY 2020-21 budget and rise to
$17.2 million in the FY 2021-22 budget, which represents a 3.5% increase.
Changes in benefit cost assumptions are listed below. Given the timing of the budget process,
assumptions were made on program/premium 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.
• CalPERS Medical— No rate increase for the six months starting July 2021 and a 7.0% rate
increase is assumed for the six months starting January 2022.
• CCCERA—The retirement normal cost contribution rate is increasing 0.93%for legacy
employees to 16.96% effective July 1, 2021. The normal cost rate is increasing 0.18%for Public
Employees' Pension Reform Act (PEPRA) employees to 11.06% effective July 1, 2021. The
defined pension normal cost contribution rate changes incorporate numerous factors
pertaining to participant demographics, actuarial assumptions, and investment performance.
• Delta Dental— No rate increase for the six months starting July 2021 and a 3.75% rate increase
is assumed for the six months starting January 2022.
• Vision— No rate increase for the six months starting July 2021 and a 3.75% rate increase
is assumed for the six months starting January 2022.
June 3, 2021 Regular Board Meeting Agenda Packet6page 158 of 646
Page 66 of 332
• Long-Term Disability—Central San recently transitioned to a new provider and the rate has
remained fixed from calendar year 2020 to 2021.
• Employee Assistance Program— No rate increase for the six months starting July 2021 and a
2.0% rate increase is assumed for the six months starting January 2022.
• 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 increases are being assumed for this benefit category, which is in
alignment with assumptions used by Central San's independent actuary in their most recent
actuarial report.
The Capitalized Administrative Overhead rate, a credit given for capital work to the O&M Budget
for non-work hours and overhead, changes from $5.1 million to $4.5 million in FY 2021-22, with the
reduction attributable to a reduction in the Board-approved Administrative Overhead and Benefits
Rate in FY 2021-22 due to savings arising from the transition to CalPERS healthcare as well as the
completion of most modules of the ERP project in FY 2020-21 (with only Permitting/Community
Development extending into FY 2021-22).
For improved financial planning and transparency purposes, the total budgeted cost for retiree
health, dental, life and vision premiums is now split between its normal cost and UAAL components
of the actuarially determined contribution (ADC) calculated by Central San's independent OPEB
actuary. The normal cost component of OPEB, which is considered an active employee cost (not
UAAL), is projected to increase from $1.6 million in FY 2020-21 to $2.1 million in FY 2021-22. See
Table 4 in Supplemental Financial Information for additional disclosures on OPEB.
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.
In FY 2021-22, the total estimated cost of retiree health premiums is $4.3 million, reflecting a 4.9%
increase from the $4.1 million budgeted in the prior year. However, given the strong funded
position of Central San's OPEB Plan, budgeted OPEB costs are capped at the ADC, which is $3.3
million in FY 2021-22. OPEB costs are "capped" as any costs above the ADC ceiling are eligible for
reimbursement from the OPEB trust. Per Board Policy 17 on Fiscal Reserves, "A planned draw from
the OPEB Trust may be included in a Board adopted budget and executed by the GM." Accordingly,
with adoption of this budget, a draw or reimbursement up to approximately$1.0 million from the
OPEB trust for the pay as you go cost in excess of the ADC is anticipated during FY 2021-22. As a
result of this favorable development, the UAAL cost component of OPEB is decreasing from $3.7
million in FY 2020-21 to $1.3 million in FY 2021-22. It should be noted that reimbursing excess
OPEB "pay-go" cost above the ADC ceiling will not eliminate Central San's gradual contributions
June 3, 2021 Regular Board Meeting Agenda Packet6:page 159 of 646
Page 67 of 332
towards paying down the UAAL as the OPEB ADC is comprised of both a normal cost and UAAL
component.
The pension unfunded liability expense to be paid to CCCERA is $11.5 million in FY 2021-22, which,
compared to a budget of$12.1 million in FY 2020-21, is a decrease of$0.6 million, or 4.9%. This is
largely reflective of the pension UAAL contribution rate decreasing from 34.81%to 34.5% in July
2021.
The budget also includes $1.25 million for additional contributions toward either pension or OPEB
obligations, to be determined by the Board during or after the fiscal year (for purposes of the
reserve calculation, this is shown as a contribution to OPEB). This is a continuation of the $1.25
million budgeted in FY 2020-21. To the extent that budget savings are available with the
completion of both FY 2020-21 and FY 2021-22, the Board may choose to direct part of the savings
toward additional unfunded liabilities funding. The amount of the FY 2020-21 budget variance as
shown in the projection in Tables 6 and 7 has already been accounted for in the reserve calculation
(Table 14), with a planned transfer of funds to the Rate Stabilization Account ("RSA") in
FY 2021-22. By assuming a planned transfer to the RSA, this provides maximum flexibility for the
Board to decide upon the disposition of the funds towards any use, which could include: (1)
towards employee pension or OPEB liabilities; (2) use towards 0&M of capital required reserves;
(3) other purposes such as mitigating rate adjustments.
D. All Other O&M Expenses
The remaining O&M non-labor expenses increase, from $23.8 million in FY 2020-21 to $24.5 million
in FY 2021-22, an increase of 3.1%. 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 a decrease of$0.4 million or
6.4%, largely resulting from a decrease in the Repairs & Maintenance sub-category. The
decrease in Repairs & Maintenance was primarily attributable to a reclassification of technology
costs budgeted in the Information Technology division. The reduction in the Repairs &
Maintenance expense category is largely offset by an increase in the Supplies & Materials
expense category, to separate the software license from software-as-a-service (SAAS) costs for
improved tracking and reporting purposes.
• Other Purchased Services—This expense increased by $0.6 million or 10%, largely due to cost
increases in the Human Resources and Information Technology Divisions. The increase in costs
in the Human Resources Division is primarily attributable to an increase in contracted labor
negotiation services with the upcoming expiration of the Management, MS/CG and Local One
labor agreements. The budgeted increase in the Information Technology Division for
contracted technical services associated with new initiatives such as long-term support for the
new state-of-the-art Oracle Cloud Fusion ERP system, new security services to address an
environment of increasing digital threats, a new integrated permit-tracking system, expanded
scanning services, as well as other new information technology-related contracted services.
• Supplies & Materials—This expense increased by $1.0 million, or 11.1%. The increase in
Supplies & Materials was largely attributable to increases in the Utilities & Fuel, Chemicals and
General Supplies & Materials sub-categories. The budgeted increase in Utilities & Fuel is largely
within the Treatment Plant Operations Division for projected increases in natural gas costs. The
June 3, 2021 Regular Board Meeting Agenda Packet6:page 160 of 646
Page 68 of 332
primary explanation for the increase in budgeted chemicals is attributable to budgeted
increases in the Treatment Plant Operations Division for lime. Central San's long-time lime
hauler went out of business after facing difficulties during the COVID-19 pandemic and new
budget estimates reflect a substantial increase in lime hauling costs pursuant to the newly
negotiated supplier contract. The increase in the General Supplies & Materials sub-category is
largely due to a reclassification of costs in the Information Technology Division to separate
software license from software-as-a-service (SAAS) costs for improved tracking and reporting
purposes.
• Other Expenses-This expense category remained largely unchanged, decreasing by only
$31,000, or 2.6%from the prior year's adopted budget. The main driver for this reduction is
within the Memberships sub-category due to a reduction in costs associated with Bay Area
Clean Water Agencies (BACWA) in the Environmental & Regulatory Compliance Division
expected in FY 2021-22.
• Other Expenses (self-insurance)-This line item was reduced by $450,000 due to excluding the
replenishment of self-insurance through the O&M budget, and instead providing a direct
allocation of sewer service charges to the self-insurance fund. An allocation of$1,576,419 is
necessary to replenish the self-insurance fund to the policy required level of$6.5 million.
• Technical Training, Conferences, & Meetings-These costs are an element of the Other
Expenses category and are summarized in Table 8 below. They are reported separately in the
Operating Departments divisional sections. The increases reflect increased technical training
for both new hires and succession planning efforts with existing staff. The amounts now
include tuition reimbursement and professional expense reimbursements, and prior year
amounts have been restated to reflect that.

million in FY 2020-21 to $77.9 million in FY 2021-22. Refer to Table 1 in the Supplemental Financial
Information for additional line item details.
Total salaries and benefits for active employees are budgeted at $62.6 million in FY 2021-22, including
both the O&M Fund and the Sewer Construction Fund, compared to $62.0 million in FY 2020-21, a $0.6
million increase. UAAL costs for pension and OPEB (which relate to both active employees and
retirees) are $15.3 million, down from $17.2 million in FY 2020-21.
Major factors affecting overall salaries and benefits include the following:
• Cost-of-living adjustments effective April 2021 based on provisions per memorandums of
understanding (MOUS)/ personnel resolutions with each bargaining unit ranging between 1.75%
and 2.00%, and an estimated placeholder of 3%for April 2022.
• Attrition of approximately 6.5% of the tenured workforce to be replaced by lower step level and
non-longevity eligible PEPRA tier employees.
• Capping the budgeted OPEB expense at the ADC, which is approximately$1 million lower than
estimated pay-as-you-go retiree premiums in FY 2021-22.
• Increasing the projected FTE vacancy factor from 2%to 3%to more-closely reflect recent vacancy
trends.
• Reduction in the employer UAAL contribution rate paid to CCCERA
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.

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, 2020. In addition to the 291 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.

Staffing Changes
During 2015, a staffing and organizational studyM 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. In January 2021, the Board approved changes
to six positions, based on an internal Classification Study completed by the Human Resources &
Organizational Development Division. Other changes affecting the classification structure are pending
implementation. 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.
Overall, staffing is budgeted at 291 full-time equivalent positions, which is reflective of the 2015
Organization and Staffing Plan recommendation, to add four positions to the then 287 budgeted
positions. While two limited duration positions for the permit counter were approved during
FY 2020-21, those positions are no longer budgeted in FY 2021-22.
Position changes within divisions are summarized below:
• Administrative Technician position was reclassified to Administrative Assistant (Office of the
General Manager)

Capital Improvement Budget
Sewer Construction Fund revenues are projected to decrease by$28.3 million, from $95 million in
FY 2020-21 to $66.7 million in FY 2021-22. This decrease is largely attributable to a reduced allocation
of SSC compared to the prior year. In the prior year, revisions to the minimum working capital reserve
policy resulted in a one-time increase in SSC being allocated to the Sewer Construction fund.
Additionally, the City of Concord reimbursement is projected to decrease by$6.6 million. While the
budgeted capital expenditures for which the City of Concord is responsible is increasing, their overall
reimbursement amount is decreasing, as much of these costs will be financed with the SRF loan. The
City of Concord, accordingly, will only pay a proportionate share of debt service on the loan, which is
not due in FY 2021-22. The City of Concord's capital budget responsibility is based on its flow
proportionate share of treatment plant, recycled water and general improvement components of the
capital budget. $34.12 million of borrowing from the SRF is anticipated to fund the Solids Handling
Facilities Improvements Project in FY 2021-22.
June 3, 2021 Regular Board Meeting Agenda Packet7(page 167 of 646
Page 75 of 332
The $107.955 million budget does not include the anticipated carryforward from FY 2020-21, which will
be communicated to the Board after the close of the current fiscal year. The $19.9 million increase, or
23%, 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.
Capital spending is to peak in FY 2024-25 at $125 million.
A change for FY 2021-22 is the fact that only 90% of the budgeted capital spending authority will be
funded from current rates and loan proceeds. The difference between capital spending authority and
the funding amount is assumed to be "caught up" in the outer years of the 10-Year Financial Plan. This
treatment is consistent with the annual goal of spending at least 90% of the budgeted sewer
construction funding, as well as generally consistent with a multi-year average of actual spending as a
percentage of budget.
Central San will contribute approximately $3.66 million to capital reserves during FY 2021-22 with
revenues and bond proceeds exceeding expenditures by that amount. Funding the Sewer Construction
Fund (Capital Improvement) Working Capital Reserves exceeds the requirement of the aforementioned
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 $125.5 million in
FY 2024-25.
Table 13 below is a summary of the projected FY 2021-22 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 2021-22 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 2021-22 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
BP 017 - Fiscal Reserves set targets for each of Central San's reserve funds. Fiscal reserves provide
working capital for 0&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 year-end FY 2019-20 but are
adjusted annually based on changes in the targeted reserve 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 (BP) targets. The reserve levels are projected to be above the policy-required levels on
June 30, 2020 and 2021. The FY 2021-22 revenue requirement provides for a net $6.2 million increase
in the reserve balances, prior to any planned transfers.
• The reduction in the 0&M reserve is related to higher than policy specified funding in the reserve
at June 30, 2020, including anticipated favorable variances for FY 2020-21. The savings from the
favorable variance (the net revenue and spending variance of$5,169,332) is assumed to be then
transferred to the Rate Stabilization Fund in FY 2021-22. With this planned transfer, the O&M
reserve is projected to decrease by $3.2 million from June 30, 2021 to June 30, 2022.
• The increase in the Sewer Construction reserve of$3.66 million relates to the anticipated increase
in Capital Improvement Budget spending in subsequent years, and planned use of cash in those
years.
• The projected increase in the Self-Insurance Fund reserve of$0.4 million is related to lower than
required funding projected to be available in the reserve at June 30, 2021, due to higher insurance
premiums in the current fiscal year.
June 3, 2021 Regular Board Meeting Agenda Packet7:page 170 of 646
Page 78 of 332
The projected amounts are subject to change based on actual financial results for the current and next
fiscal years.
The primary impact of the status of the reserves is on the allocation of the Sewer Service Charge, as
documented in Table 5 of this Financial Summary section. Absent other actions, to the extent that the
O&M fund has more reserves than are required under the policy, that sub-fund would receive a lower
allocation of SSC.
Also provided on Table 14 is a projection of the Rate Stabilization Fund, Pension Trust Fund, and OPEB
Trust Fund. Assumptions include:
• Rate Stabilization Fund Reserve Account -This account was initially funded with an initial deposit
from the FY 2018-19 fiscal year close-out of$2.61 million. The Board also directed $2.15 from the
FY 2019-20 closeout to this fund in the fall of 2020. This budget document, in the reserve
projection, assumes a FY 2021-22 planned transfer of the projected O&M variance in FY 2020-21 to
the Rate Stabilization Fund of$5,169,332, based on the projected O&M expenses and revenues in
Tables 6, 7, and 13. By assuming this planned transfer, a higher allocation of SSC goes towards
0&M in FY 2021-22 than would otherwise be the case. By directing the funds to the Rate
Stabilization Fund, greater flexibility for future use of the funds by the Board is provided for than
without this assumption. Future uses may include:
o Contributions towards pension or OPEB liabilities
o Funding billing adjustments or other Board specified uses for mitigating rate impacts
• Pension Prefunding Trust Fund -The projected balance as of June 30, 2020 includes earnings
through March 31, 2020. No earnings on the account are projected for FY 2021-22 (although the
account is anticipated to earn long-term average annual returns of 5.82%).
• OPEB Trust Fund -The projected balance as of June 30, 2020 includes earnings through
March 31, 2020, and the $1.25 million budgeted in FY 2019-20 towards employee related liabilities
is deposited here. No earnings on the account are projected for FY 2021-22 (although the account
is anticipated to earn long-term average annual returns of 6.25%).
The Supplemental Financial Information section of this budget document contains a table showing
changes in net position and fund equity.

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. The SRF loan, when the loan agreement and repayment schedule is finalized, would
also add to these debt repayment amounts. The SRF loan agreement is expected to be finalized prior
to the end of FY 2020-21. Future debt issuances, if any, would add to this debt profile. As discussed
elsewhere, staff are working on a June 2021 debt issuance. The debt service schedule for this
transaction has not been finalized.

Long-Term Spending Trend
Operations & Maintenance
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 seven years (from FY 2014-15 to FY 2021-22). FY 2021-22 provides for an increase of just 2.1%
above the six-year average ($89,160,195) of the preceding 0&M budgets. Among other factors that
have facilitated this have been decreasing pension UAAL rates assessed by CCCERA since 2015. These
reductions have offset other cost increases in the O&M budget. Pension UAAL rates increased
significantly due to actuarial losses after the great recession of 2008, and due to "depooling"
(separately calculating and assigning costs to specific participating agencies or groups within CCCERA).
These UAAL costs are projected further towards the end of this decade when the UAAL is scheduled to
be eliminated. Central San is also working with its financial advisor on a potential bond offering that
may be used to fund a portion of capital expenditures in FY 2021-22, and make funding available to pay
down the CCCERA UAAL in that fiscal year, with the objective of producing cost savings over the next
decade.

hazardous waste collection facilities. The departments are guided by Central San's Strategic Plan,
which provides direction and initiatives to help achieve the strategic goals and objectives.
The three department directors and the General Manager form Central San's Executive Team. Each
department director worked closely with the division managers to create a prudent and cost-effective
budget, utilizing efficiency and effectiveness to execute the Strategic Plan initiatives and targets while
keeping costs at a minimum.
The following sections describe the responsibilities of each department and division; the
strategic accomplishments in FY 2020-21 as projected at the time this book was drafted at the end of

against the FYs 2020-22 Strategic Plan key metrics in FY 2020-21 as of Q2; and operating budget needs.
For final FY 2020-21 strategic performance data, please refer to the FY 2020-21 Strategic Plan Annual
Report after its publication in fall 2021. The total operating budget for FY 2021-22 is $91 million, a $0.3

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 leads the effort to address all key priorities facing Central San, as
described in the General Manager's Message. The Office of the General Manager's budget for
FY 2021-22 is $1.4 million, a $95,000 or 6.4% decrease from budget of$1.5 million in FY 2020-21. This
decrease is primarily attributable to the transferring of the Senior Administrative Technician position to
the Director of Finance &Administration division in the FY 2021-22 budget. Commencing in
FY 2021-22 the annual contribution to Contra Costa County Local Agency Formation Commission
(LAFCO) is being budgeted in Office of the General Manager org unit as the purpose of LAFCO and its
activities are more closely aligned with the purpose of the Office of the General Manager. Annual
LAFCO contributions were previously budgeted in the Office of the Secretary of the District.

Administration. Beginning in FY 2020-21, each of these four previously consolidated cost centers have
been separated.
The Office of the Secretary of the District assures the ongoing flow of information to and from the
Board, facilitating policy direction and oversight. The Office of the Secretary of the District Operating
Budget for FY 2021-22 is $1.0 million, remaining relatively flat with an increase of only 0.9% over last
year's budget. As noted previously, commencing in FY 2021-22 the annual contribution to Contra
Costa County Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCO) is being budgeted in Office of the General
Manager org unit as the purpose of LAFCO and its activities are more closely aligned with the purpose
of the Office of the General Manager. Annual LAFCO contributions were previously budgeted in the
Office of the Secretary of the District. Largely offsetting this budgetary cost transfer is the inclusion of
a District temporary Senior Administrative Technician to help address an expanded workload during
the retirement of the Assistant to the Secretary of the District as well as ongoing work associated with
the implementation of new districts during FY 2020-21 pursuant to the California Voter Rights Act
(CVRA).

FY 2020-21 based on GFOA best practices. Prior year information presented in this table has been reclassified to reflect the new org unit
and expense account structure of the new chart of accounts for improved comparability purposes.
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 Board of Directors 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 Board of Directors Operating Budget for FY 2021-22 is approximately $0.4 million, reflecting a
decrease of 25.3%from a budget of$0.7 million in FY 2020-21. This decrease is nearly entirely
attributable to there not being a general election in FY 2021-22. The budget also reflects fewer Board
members anticipated to take health insurance next fiscal year based on the current Board makeup.

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
June 3, 2021 Regular Board Meeting Agenda Packet9fage 195 of 646
Page 103 of 332
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 Operations Department.
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.
The Human Resources & Organizational Development budget for FY 2021-22 is $8.2 million, reflecting
an 8.3% decrease from a budget of$9.0 million in FY 2020-21. The budget decrease is largely
attributable to an increase in the assumed vacancy factor from 2%to 3% and the capping of other
post-employment benefits (OPEB) contributions at the actuarially determined contribution (ADC)
amount in FY 2021-22. Budgeted Salaries & Wages reflects the elimination of a limited duration
Temporary Senior Administrative Technician as well as the deletion of a vacant Operations Safety
Specialist position, which was accompanied by the creation of a new Staff Engineer position in the
Plant Maintenance Division. Certain costs relating to all Central San employees or retirees are centrally
budgeted in the Human Resources & Organizational Development Division. The following are items
budgeted in Human Resources but not specific to that division:
• Salaries & Wages includes $750,000 for Accrued Compensated Absences Expenses and $400,000
for Payouts of Accrued Compensated Absence at retirement or termination otherwise of
employment.
• Employee Benefits includes $50,000 for Unemployment Expenses.
• The Normal Cost as well as unfunded actuarial accrued liability (UAAL) attributable to Central San's
OPEB plans are reported solely within this Division in a separate cost center. 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 (reported in "Employee Benefits"), attributable to current active employees, and a
"UAAL" component (reported in "Retiree Costs") attributable largely to unfunded retiree costs. For
improved transparency and cost tracking purposes the budgeted cost of retiree health premiums is
split between its normal cost and UAAL components in accordance with the independently
calculated ADC. In FY 2021-22, the total estimated cost of retiree health premiums is $4.3 million,
reflecting a 4.9% increase from the $4.1 million budgeted in the prior year. However, given the
strong funded position of Central San's OPEB Plan, budgeted OPEB costs are capped at the ADC,
which is $3.3 million in FY 2021-22. OPEB costs are "capped" as any costs above the ADC ceiling are
eligible for reimbursement from the OPEB trust.
• Retiree Costs also includes the costs for supplemental pension and OPEB trust payments. Prior to
FY 2019-20, supplemental OPEB trust payments were needed to meet the annual ADC as retiree
benefit premiums fell short of the independently calculated ADC. With the transition to CalPERS
Health in FY 2019-20, the funded status of Central San's OPEB plan has increased tremendously, to
the point where the retiree health premiums (i.e. the "pay-as-you-go" costs) are over$1 million
higher than the ADC in FY 2021-22. Accordingly, there is no required OPEB trust payment to fully
June 3, 2021 Regular Board Meeting Agenda Packet9!page 196 of 646
Page 104 of 332
satisfy the ADC in FY 2020-21. The FY 2021-22 budget does include a $1.25 million supplemental
trust contribution to be directed towards either pension or OPEB at the discretion of the Board
once Central San's actual financial condition is reviewed upon the acceptance of the FY 2020-21
audited financial statements in November of 2021.
• The Salaries & Wages, Employee Benefits and Retiree Benefits budget line item categories each
include an estimated vacancy factor credit for the Executive Governance and Administration
Departments. The FY 2021-22 budget assumes a 3.0%vacancy factor, compared to 2.0% used in
the prior year.

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.
During this past challenging year, the Administration Department was able to continue its operations
and services during the COVID-19 pandemic while complying with evolving County and State health
orders as they were updated throughout the year. Many Administration Department staff teleworked
to accomplish their responsibilities.
In FY 2020-21, much of the work under the Office of the Director of Finance &Administration related
to the completion of the effort to replacement the ERP system, which has run Central San's core
business processes since 1993. The Core Financial modules were implemented in the first quarter of
FY 2020-21, with the Budget and Payroll modules implemented in the third quarter. Information
Technology and Engineering staff continued the implementation of a new permitting system, with this
module's go-live date deferred to FY 2021-22. Other important work included exploration of
continued methods for the prudent funding of unfunded liabilities and Other Post-Employment
Benefits, as well as Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) reimbursement for COVID-19
related expenses. This office now also oversees the coordination of Strategic Planning efforts as well
as the Benchmarking Study.
For the avoidance of duplicative material, the FY 2020-21 Strategic Accomplishments and performance
against the key metrics, as well as the FY 2021-22 Strategic Objectives, for the Director of Finance &
Administration 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 Director of Finance and
Administration.

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 2021-22 is $0.7 million,
reflecting a 27.3% increase over the prior year budget. The increase is primarily attributable to a
Senior Administrative Technician position being transferred from the Office of the General Manager in
FY 2021-22 to better reflect the administrative divisions being served by this position. Salaries &
Wages include the agency-wide cost-of-living adjustment and increases due to step advancements.

Finance
OVERVIEW
This division is responsible for maintaining internal controls over the financial reporting of all Central
San funds and accounts. It administers the transactions related to cash and investments, debt service,
cash receipts, accounts payable, sewer service charges (SSC) and all other revenues, pension, and
capital assets. It is also responsible for the development and monitoring of the budget and coordinates
this process with all other divisions at Central San. Various interim and annual financial reports are
prepared, reviewed, and analyzed by this division and provided to the Board, Finance Committee, and
management as essential information for decision making and budget monitoring purposes. Central
San is subject to an annual independent audit, which is administered and coordinated by this division.
The Finance Division assembles the Comprehensive Annual Financial Report, which is submitted
annually to the Board and the Government Finance Officers Association (GFOA) to be considered for
the prestigious Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting award. The Finance
Division also ensures Central San's annual budget meets the requirements of the GFOA's Distinguished
Budget Presentation award, for which it is submitted annually.
FY 2020-21 Strategic Accomplishments
•` FISCAL RESPONSIBILITY
• Contributed an additional $2.15 million in budgetary savings to the newly
established Rate Stabilization Fund (RSF) reserve account in the Running Expense
fund to help hedge against the adverse impacts of cost pressure volatility on SSC
stability. The current balance of the Running Expense and Sewer Construction
funds' RSF accounts is now $3.76 million and $1.00 million respectively.
• Fully funded the Other Post-Employment Benefits (OPEB) actuarially determined
contribution (ADC) with an estimated $1.95 million going towards the drawing
down the unfunded actuarial accrued liability (UAAL). The OPEB plan reported a
healthy funded status of 87.1% as of the fiscal year ended 6/30/20.
• Fully funded the actuarially determined contribution requirements determined by
the Contra Costa County Employees' Retirement Association (CCCERA) pension
administrator and paid an additional $1.25 million toward the Section 115
secondary pension trust. With the inclusion of section 115 trust assets, the
pension plan reported a healthy funded status of 85.8% as of the fiscal year ended
6/30/20.
• Rolled out a completely restructured chart of accounts based on best practice
guidance issued by the GFOA, implementing a more logical parent-child segment
structure allowing for greatly improved reporting functionalities.
• Issued accurate and timely interim monthly financial reports allowing for diligent
monitoring of the budget and accountability with FY 2020-21 projected to close
under budget.
• Received the GFOA Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting
award for the 20th consecutive year.
• Received the GFOA Distinguished Budget Presentation award for the 3rd
consecutive year following Central San's first ever submission three years ago.
June 3, 2021 Regular Board Meeting Agenda Packed-09age 204 of 646
Page 112 of 332
• Received an unmodified ("clean") audit opinion and zero reported material
weaknesses or significant deficiencies in internal controls as part of the annual
financial audit.
GOAL INNOVATION AND OPTIMIZATION/AGILITY AND ADAPTABILITY
• Spearheaded the implementation of a state-of-the art fully integrated cloud-based
enterprise resource planning (ERP) system. This system was particularly useful
during Central San's response to the COVID-19 pandemic, with the conversion of
several business workflows into streamlined paperless processes (i.e., approvals for
ImI invoices, p-card reports,journal entries, timecards, etc.). The new cloud-based ERP
system also facilitated the streamlined transition to a safer remote work
environment for many of Central San's administrative workforce.

Budget Modifications and Contributions to Key Priorities
The Finance Division supports Central San by providing accounting, financial reporting, budget,
treasury, and other fiscal services. The Finance Division is responsible for designing and implementing
internal controls to safeguard Central San's public assets, as well as providing relevant and reliable
financial information to internal and external stakeholders. The Finance Division works closely with the
Planning & Development Services Division to ensure sufficient long-term rate and debt financing is
available to achieve Central San's strategic objectives. The Finance 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. With the implementation of the new ERP system during FY 2020-21, the Finance
Division will be rolling out extensive staff training to take advantage of capabilities of the modern
system and strive to improve financial reporting and accounting services during FY 2021-22.
The Finance Division Operating Budget for FY 2021-22 is $2.1 million, which represents a reduction of
5.5%from the prior year budget. This reduction is primarily attributable to turnover of tenured staff
and the assumption that a District temporary position will no longer be necessary for much of
FY 2021-22 following the successful "go-live" of the new ERP system during FY 2020-21. Salaries &
Wages also includes the agency-wide cost-of-living adjustment as well as any step advancements
employees may be eligible for. With the hiring of a full-time internal auditor, budgeted in the Office of
the General Manager unit, contracted internal audits included in the prior year's budget are no longer
needed in the Finance Division.

Budget Modifications and Contributions to Key Priorities
The Information Technology Division Operating Budget for FY 2021-22 is $5.3 million, reflecting an
increase of 16.9% over the prior year's budget. The increase is mostly attributable to an expansion in
technical services next year to support new initiatives. New initiatives not included in the prior year's
budget include: long-term support for the new state-of-the-art Oracle Cloud Fusion ERP system, new
security services to address an environment of increasing digital threats, a new integrated permit-
tracking system, expanded scanning services, as well as other new information technology-related
contracted services. The reduction in the Repairs & Maintenance budget line under the "Purchased Property
Services" category is largely offset by an increase in the Supplies & Materials budget line. Costs attributable to
software licenses, previously budgeted under Repairs & Maintenance, were transferred to the Supplies &
Materials budget line for improved cost tracking purposes as software licenses are not services as defined in the
new chart of accounts.

Budget Modifications and Contributions to Key Priorities
The Risk Management Division 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. The Risk
Management Division helps Central San meet these and other challenges of the environment in which
the agency operates.
The Risk Management Division's Operating Budget for FY 2021-22 is $1.2 million, reflecting a decrease
of 27.8%from the prior year's budget. This decrease is nearly entirely attributable to the
implementation of a new method to finance the self-insurance program in FY 2021-22. In prior years,
the self-insurance fund's reserves were replenished with an annual transfer/contribution from the
O&M fund. As part of a re-examination of Central San's chart of accounts and the implementation of a
June 3, 2021 Regular Board Meeting Agenda Packetl212age 219 of 646
Page 127 of 332
new ERP system during FY 2020-21, it was identified that total expenses was in effect inflated by
reporting a transfer from the O&M fund to the Self-Insurance fund as well as reporting costs (i.e. self-
insurance claims, insurance premiums, etc.) in the Self-Insurance fund. With each fund being self-
balancing, the aggregate picture of Central San's costs became distorted and overstated. Accordingly,
to prevent this "double counting" effect, commencing with FY 2021-22, staff is proposing to allocate
sewer service charge revenue directly to the self-insurance fund in an amount sufficient to cover
budgeted expenses and close the fiscal year with minimum reserves specified by the Board-adopted
Fiscal Reserves Policy. In doing so, a transfer from the O&M fund to the Self-Insurance fund will no
longer be required.
The total amount of sewer service charges budgeted to be allocated to the Self-Insurance fund in
FY 2021-22 is approximately $1.6 million. This is discussed in greater detail in the Self-Insurance Fund
section of the budget book.

Office of the Director of Engineering and Technical Services
(including Resource Recovery Program)
OVERVIEW
The Director of Engineering and Technical Services oversees the Capital Projects, Environmental and
Regulatory Compliance, and Planning and Development Services Divisions and the Resource Recovery
Program. Staff from these divisions make significant contributions to the Recycled Water Program
discussed in the Operations Department section of this document.
During this past challenging year with the COVID-19 pandemic, the Engineering and Technical Services
Department was able to continue providing a high level of services for Central San's customers
including the permit counter, development inspections, design and construction of infrastructure
projects, operating the Household Hazardous Waste (HHW) Collection Facility, operating the
laboratory, and conducting environmental compliance inspections—all while complying with evolving
health orders as they were updated throughout the year in response to changing risk and health
guidelines.
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, HHW, and pharmaceutical collection programs. This office was responsible
for replacing or rehabilitating eight miles of pipes in Danville, Walnut Creek, Lafayette, Martinez, and
Orinda with a 100% customer satisfaction rating (as of March 31, 2021); retrofitting the Emergency
Sludge Hauling Facility in preparation for the Solids Handling Facilities Improvements Project;
constructing major renovations at various Pumping Stations and Central San's Recycled Water Filter
Plant, in addition to completing other projects, such as the Concrete and Mechanical Improvements at
the treatment plant; and striving to prevent hazardous waste from entering local waterways through
collection at the HHW Collection Facility. This year also saw the continued development and
implementation of the Central San Smart initiative, which will drive system-wide optimizations to
make Central San a more efficient utility. The Asset Management Program, overseen by this office,
continues to develop innovative tools such as the Geographic Information System (GIS) Emergency
Response Dashboard and Reliability Engineering Tools.
The FY 2020-21 Strategic Accomplishments and performance against the key metrics, as well as the
FY 2021-22 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 organization units were
established for director functions overseeing each department of Central San. Prior to the FY 2020-21
budget, costs associated with Department Director and Resource Recovery Program were reported
within the Planning and Development Services Division. Accordingly, as disclosed in the divisional
budget table, the FY 2019-20 budget and actual columns do not have any information to report here.
The Office of the Director of Engineering and Technical Services Budget for FY 2021-22 is $1.1 million,
reflecting a slight decrease from the prior year's budget of approximately-1.8%. This decrease is
primarily attributable to the assumed recycled water program wage and benefits transfer increasing by
10%for the program manager, increasing from 50%to 60%.

Budget Modifications and Contributions to Key Priorities
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. The Capital Projects Division budget for
FY 2021-22 is $0.7 million, reflecting a 25.1% reduction from the prior year's budget. Salaries & Wages
include the agency-wide cost-of-living adjustment as well as any anticipated increases due to step
advancements, largely offset by additional time being charged to work for capital projects. The
primary driver for this division's overall budgetary decrease is the elimination of expanded on-site
June 3, 2021 Regular Board Meeting Agenda Packet13Rage 231 of 646
Page 139 of 332
security services included in last year's budget. Expanded on-site security services were budgeted in
the Capital Projects Division in the prior year to counteract the significant increase in non-employee
foot traffic on the treatment plant premises in conjunction with large-scale treatment plant
improvement projects, particularly for the Solids Handling Facility Improvements Project. While it is
expected these expanded security services will continue to be needed through FY 2021-22, the
adoption of a Regulatory Assets policy by the Board will allow these, and other ordinarily 110MI
non-recurring significant costs associated with capital projects to be capitalized. This year's Capital
Improvement Budget has been updated to incorporate the capitalization of these expanded on-site
security costs. The Financial Summary section includes a more in-depth discussion of the new
Regulatory Assets policy and its fiscal impacts.

Environmental and Regulatory Compliance
OVERVIEW
This division ensures that Central San is compliant with applicable federal, state, and local
environmental laws, regulations, and policies. It monitors Central San's permitted businesses and
industrial customers for compliance with all applicable requirements to protect the environment as
well as Central San's assets; manages the Household Hazardous Waste (HHW) Collection Facility and
Residential Recycled Water Fill Station; generates, receives, and interprets laboratory data and applies
their results to regulatory requirements to ensure the treatment plant's effluent meets all water
quality standards; evaluates treatment plant operations to ensure compliance with all air pollution
control standards; evaluates the effectiveness of regulatory compliance programs; develops and
implements new programs as mandated by legislation and/or policy; monitors and analyzes legislation
and new regulations that impact regulatory compliance; and represents Central San before regulatory
agency staff and boards, political bodies, committees, and the general public. Through active
participation in the Bay Area Clean Water Agencies (BACWA), this division works collaboratively with
sister agencies to provide technical expertise, financial support, and a public utility perspective to
ensure that regulations affecting the Bay Area wastewater community are well informed, thoughtful,
and effective.

Budget Modifications and Contributions to Key Priorities
The Environmental and Regulatory Compliance Division plays the lead role in monitoring evolving
regulation and environmental compliance requirements promulgated by state and federal agencies to
ensure that Central San is positioned to meet these requirements.
The Environmental and Regulatory Compliance Operating Budget for FY 2021-22 is $9.3 million, a 2.0%
increase over the prior year's budget. Salaries & Wages include the agency-wide cost-of-living
adjustment and increases due to step advancements. The relatively flat-lined budget for hazardous
waste hauling & disposal assumes Central San's reuse room will open during FY 2021-22. Should the
reuse room remain closed as a precautionary measure to address the COVID-19 pandemic, this line
item is projected to increase by as much as $150,000.

Budget Modifications and Contributions to Key Priorities
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.
The Planning and Development Services Division's budget for FY 2021-22 is $7.2 million, reflecting a
decrease of approximately 3.7% from the prior year budget. Salaries & Wages include the agency-wide
cost-of-living adjustment and increases due to known step advancements for those eligible. The
budgetary reduction is largely the result of two transitional full-time equivalent positions approved the
prior year's budget no longer being necessary in FY 2021-22 following the anticipated retirement of
two full-time positions. These two transitional positions were necessary for succession planning
purposes as well as to assist at the permit counter during the new ERP Implementation Project.

Office of the Director of Operations
OVERVIEW
The Director of Operations oversees the Collection System Operations, Plant Maintenance, and Plant
Operations Divisions and is responsible for providing these divisions with the resources and guidance
needed to fulfill their missions.
Major accomplishments of the office of the Director of Operations include achievement of a steadily
decreasing sewer overflow rate; the 23rd consecutive National Association of Clean Water Agencies
(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, 2021, Central San could potentially set a 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, design, and construct large-scale capital improvements. Plant 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. For these achievements, Plant Maintenance
was recognized by Uptime Magazine for the second time in two years, this time with the Best Asset
Management Program Award. 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, comply with ever-evolving health orders and regulations, and
continue its high level of uninterrupted wastewater collection and treatment services to Central San's
customers.
Within the Plant Maintenance Division's focus on Asset Management is its overarching vision to build
on today's technology and look toward tomorrow's possibilities, through improvement and
implementation of a broader, fully adaptive, self-learning, and self-healing maintenance philosophy.
The Plant Operations Division aspires to empower its team members to be self-reliant and act as an
authority in their role by cultivating a supportive environment which fosters tight performing units,
capable of making sound critical judgments to adjust and adapt to ever-evolving challenges. As
Central San's most visible employees, the Collection System Operations Division values its role as an
ambassador, projecting Central San's image outward to the community while, at the same time,
understanding and being sensitive to customer expectations and upholding its vision of service to
protect homeowners, public facilities, and local waterways.
The FY 2020-21 Strategic Accomplishments and performance against the key metrics, as well as the
FY 2021-22 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 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 Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system and revised functions chart of
accounts, new organization 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. Accordingly, the FY 2019-20
budget and actual columns do not contain any information.

The Office of the Director of Operations budget for FY 2021-22 is approximately$0.7 million, reflecting
a decrease of approximately 28.9%from the prior year's budget. This decrease is primarily attributable
to one Administrative Assistant position being transferred to the Plant Operations Division and the
other Administrative Assistant position being transferred to the Plant Maintenance Division. Each of
those divisions, which report to the Director of Operations, receive substantial support from the
Administrative Assistants,justifying the transferring of these two budgeted positions for improved cost
allocation purposes. The Office of the Director of Operations will continue to retain an Administrative
Services Supervisor for administrative support.

impacting the fourth quarter of the FY 2019-20 and FY 2020-21.
**The intent of this metric is to measure whether overflows have increased during pandemic events or natural disasters. If increased,
the goal is to have a standard deviation of<_1.Because overflows have been reduced in FY 2020-21 as of Q2 when compared to the same
time period over the past five years,the standard deviation of 6.79 means the target was met and exceeded.

The Collection System Operations Division budget for FY 2021-22 is $15.0 million, reflecting an increase
of only 0.4% over the prior year's budget. While this operational division's budget largely remained
steady, the overall net increase was primarily driven by increases in known labor-related costs,
including the agency-wide cost-of-living adjustment as well as known step advancements for eligible
employees. Savings are projected to be realized in retiree/unfunded liability costs pursuant to the
reduction in the Unfunded Actuarial Accrued Liability contribution rate pursuant to the latest actuarial
report published by Contra Costa County Employees' Retirement Association.

Budget Modifications and Contributions to Key Priorities
The Plant Maintenance Division Budget directly addresses several of the principal issues facing
Central San by optimizing the Maintenance Program to ensure that equipment and system reliability
meets all safety, service level, and regulatory requirements. The division strives to continuously
improve overall maintenance effectiveness and reliability over the lifecycle of an asset, including active
participation in all phases of design, installation, operation, maintenance, and replacement planning.
The Plant Maintenance Operating Budget for FY 2021-22 is $16.8 million, reflecting an increase of 7.5%
over the prior year's budget. Labor costs are the primary driver for the increase in this division. The
increase in all three labor categories results from several factors including: a low assumed turnover
rate for this relatively large workgroup, agency-wide cost-of-living adjustments, step advancements for
eligible employees, the transfer of an Administrative Assistant position from the Office of the Director
of Operations, the transfer of a vacant position in the Human Resources & Safety Division to a Staff
Engineer in the Plant Maintenance Division, and a reduction in the administrative overhead credit
(reducing expenses) for capitalized labor of this division. While the FY 2020-21 budget planned for 10
summer students, no summer students were actually hired in FY 2020-21 as a safety precaution during
the COVID-19 pandemic. In FY 2021-22 the Plant Maintenance division intends to phase summer
students back into operations starting with 5 limited duration positions. In FY 2022-23 summer
student needs of the division will once again be re-assessed. The budgeted increase in Utilities & Fuels
is primarily attributable to a projected increase in electricity consumption following the installation of
four new electrical motors at the Orinda Cross Road and Moraga pumping stations. The budgeted
increase in Repairs & Maintenance and Cleaning is largely attributable to efforts to respond to risks
associated with the COVID-19 pandemic, including activities such as expanded cleaning and
disinfection of the plant operations and headquarters office buildings as well as the implementation of
various on-site engineering controls (i.e. fabrication and installation of sneeze guards, cleaning
June 3, 2021 Regular Board Meeting Agenda Packetlfi12age 259 of 646

stations, touchless faucets, and other controls). Another driver for the increase in the Repairs &
Maintenance category is the anticipation of rebuilding multiple return active sludge pumps next year.

Budget Modifications and Contributions to Key Priorities
The Plant Operations Division 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 Division Budget for FY 2021-22 is $13.9 million, reflecting an increase of$0.9 million or
0.7% increase over the $13.8 million budgeted in FY 2020-21. This modest increase is largely
attributable to increases in the Utilities & Fuel and Chemicals categories, offset somewhat by savings in
labor costs. The budgeted increase in Utilities & Fuel pertains to an increase in natural gas capacity
held on site to address ongoing PG&E Public Safety Power Shutoff concerns. The budgeted increase in
Chemicals is largely attributable to an increase for lime. Central San's long-time lime hauler went out
of business after facing economic difficulties brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic. The budget
estimates for lime reflect a substantial increase in hauling costs pursuant to the newly negotiated
supplier contract. Despite an Administrative Assistant position being transferred to this division from
the Office of the Director of Operations in FY 2021-22, labor costs overall are decreasing following the
retirement of several tenured employees being replaced by lower step level PEPRA employees.

Recycled Water Program
OVERVIEW
The Recycled Water Program reflects 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, a Satellite Water Recycling Facility and the Concord Community Reuse Project
(the redevelopment of the Concord Naval Weapons Station).
FY 2020-21 Strategic Accomplishments
ENVIRONMENTAL STEWARDSHIP
• Continued collaborating with Contra Costa Water District (CCWD) and Valley Water to
j complete a Preliminary Feasibility Evaluation of the Refinery Recycled Water Exchange
Project as agreed upon in the Memorandum of Understanding between the three
agencies.
• Collaborated with Dublin San Ramon Services District (DSRSD) and East Bay Municipal
Utility District Recycled Water Authority(DERWA)to support DSRSD in the construction
of a Temporary Wastewater Diversion to allow DERWA to divert approximately
1.3 MGD of raw wastewater from Central San's San Ramon Pumping Station to DSRSD
for the production of recycled water to meet DERWA's peak summer irrigation demand.
• Continued working with CCWD and the City of Concord to plan for recycled water
usage at the Concord Community Reuse Project.
• Distributed approximately 129 million gallons of recycled water to Zone 1.
• Distributed approximately 2.5 million gallons of recycled water through the Commercial
Truck Fill Program.
• Distributed approximately 1 million gallons of recycled water through the Residential Fill
Station.
GOAL FIVE INFRASTRUCTURE RELIABILITY

Budget Modifications and Contributions to Key Priorities
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 Recycled Water Program Operating Budget for FY 2021-22 is $1.6 million, reflecting an increase of
9.5% or$0.1 million over the prior year. The increase is primarily driven by labor-related costs, which
are increasing pursuant to increases in time expected to be spent on recycled water initiatives and
activities during FY 2021-22, specifically by the Program Manager and Plant Operations staff. The
Chemicals budget increase is attributable to a projected increase in hypochlorite costs.

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 2021-22, primarily due to capital improvements, does not mean that recycled water rates will be
increased in that proportion.
The Zone 1 revenue budget estimate of$432,000 allocated entirely to Operations and Maintenance
(O&M) (see Table 5 in Financial Summary). Furthermore, the $5,799,833 City of Concord
Reimbursement is contained within and split between the total O&M fund City of Concord
Reimbursement (see Table 5 in Financial Summary) and total Sewer Construction fund City of Concord
Reimbursement (see Table 11 in Financial Summary). The $103,500 Satellite Reimbursement is
contained within the 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 2021-22
SIF Budget. The SIF revenue for FY 2021-22 is projected to be $1,651,419, and expenses are projected
to be $1,285,000, a difference of$366,419, which is added to the closing projected reserve balance at
June 30, 2021, to result in projected closing net SIF reserve of$6,500,000 at June 30, 2022. The
budgeted revenues include a direct allocation of$1,576,419 of Sewer Service Charge Revenue.
Previously, allocations to Self-Insurance were routed through the Operations and Maintenance (0&M)
Fund to the SIF. However, that approach causes the apparent total spending to overcount this
allocation, which is included as an "expenditure" in the O&M fund, while the Self-Insurance fund also
shows expenditures. Allocating Sewer Service Charge directly to the Self-Insurance fund avoids this
issue.
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 loss data in August 2020, with losses through June 30, 2020. The next actuarial
report will be performed in August 2022 using loss data through June 30, 2022.
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.
June 3, 2021 Regular Board Meeting Agenda Packetl713age 270 of 646
Page 178 of 332
Table 2 shows budgeted revenue for FY 2021-22 of$10,000 with expenses of$300,000, resulting in
revenues over expenses of($290,000). This amount will be transferred from Sub-Fund C in order to
maintain the minimum reserve at $1.5 million.
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 allocation of SSC (previously, an 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$1,641,419, which includes an allocation of Sewer
Service Charge of$1,576,419. The budgeted ending balance for FY 2021-22 is projected to be at the
policy specified 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.

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
• Pumped Zone Fees
• Property Taxes
• Interest
• Sewer Service Charges
• 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 2021-22. Additionally, Central San is exploring a debt issuance for June 2021, which
may be used to fund a substantial portion of the FY 2021-22 CIB. If this debt issuance proceeds, a
budget amentment for FY 2021-22 is anticipated.

Capital Improvement Budget Project Prioritization
The projects included in the FY 2021-22 CIB have been prioritized to ensure the best use of District
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. Scoring for each project used twenty weighted criteria, with
emphasis on projects currently under construction, those associated with asset management,
regulatory requirements, prior commitments, and those supporting business functions.
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 falls into three categories: 1) Essential Commitments; 2) Project
Benefits; and 3) Operational Reliability, as summarized below:
Criteria Category:Essential Commitments
Complies with Regulatory Requirements and Mandates ;
Meets Commitment with Outside Agency or Existing Contract
Reduces Potential Health or Safety Hazards

Supports Timely Adoption of Technology Improvements Operational -
Criteria Category:

Improves Reliability and System Performance
Improves Facility-Wide Resiliency
Required for Safe& Reliable Operations
Key Asset Replacement
Project Criticality Ranking
In addition, all projects for FY 2021-22 have been listed in order of priority based on the criteria
described above with other factors that include consequence of failure, project development, potential
contract impacts, and more so that the entire capital program can be assessed. This ranking is
applicable at the time the Budget is adopted. However, the score and the ranking will be continuously
re-evaluated during the year as projects evolve. For example, once a construction contract is awarded
and executed for a project, its score would increase and result in a ranking change. It should also be
noted that the priority ranking is not reflective of the order in which the project is started. The score
and ranking are more a reflection of an importance factor, than timing or a priority in which the project

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
June 3, 2021 Regular Board Meeting Agenda Packe"Rage 282 of 646
Page 190 of 332
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
energy-efficient equipment or treatment processes, and renewable energy projects such as solar or
wind.

Capital Improvement Budget FY 2020-21 Accomplishments
Collection System Sewer Replacement: Several projects have replaced or rehabilitated up to 6.8 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.

Regulatory and Safety Projects: One of the major regulatory challenges facing Central San concerns
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 project is expected to be
awarded in the fall of 2020 with construction completion in 2025.

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:
• Pump Station Upgrades— Phase 1:This construction project is focused on needed replacement of
electrical, mechanical, and back-up power equipment at the Moraga and Orinda Crossroads
Pumping Stations. The construction for the Flush Kleen Pumping Station was completed last fiscal
year.
• Pump Station Upgrades— Phase 2: Land acquisitions and detailed design are ongoing for needed
electrical and mechanical equipment replacements at the Martinez, Maltby, and Fairview Pumping
Stations. Construction is expected to begin in late FY 2021-22.
• Filter Plant and Clearwell Improvements—Phase 1A: Started construction of this large project which
includes replacement of deteriorated electrical infrastructure at the Clearwell, new pumps, recycled
water storage improvements, and filter system modifications. Construction is expected to continue
through FY 2021-22.
• Steam and Aeration Blower Systems Renovation: Condition assessments are nearing completion for the
steam and heat recovery systems at the treatment plant and several other areas in the aeration system,
as well as the treatment plant electrical systems. Several projects have been identified as a result and
will be implemented in phases over time. The design of the first phase, which consists of the installation
of three electric blowers, is nearing completion and the installation should begin this fiscal year. The
second phase will focus on the Aeration System and will include the replacement of the diffusers and
seismic upgrades. Third and fourth phases will address the Secondary Treatment Facilities and the
Steam System, respectively.
• Solids Handling Facility Improvements Project:Three related solids projects were and will be
constructed ahead of the main project, which include construction of the Emergency Sludge Loading
Facility Improvements Project (Completed), Treatment Plant Safety Enhancements- Phase 5 Project (In
Construction), and the Contractor Staging Improvements (starting construction FY 2021-22).The Solids
Project construction contract is expected to be awarded in FY 2021-22.
• Projects completed: Several projects are either at Substantial Completion or Closed including the
Mechanical and Concrete Renovations (Closed), and Recycled Water Clearwell Repairs (Closed). 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 regulatory
requirements.

Capital Improvement Budget Modifications
Changes to projects do occur and include rescheduling, consolidation for bidding, phasing, modification
of scope, and renaming of projects since last fiscal year and include:
Consolidation or Phasing of Existing Projects:
• The Collection System Sewer Renovation — Phase 1 has been or will be split to fund the
construction of the Walnut Creek Sewer Renovation — Phase 15, North Orinda Sewer
Renovation — Phase 8, South Orinda Sewer Renovation — Phase 8, and Martinez Sewer
Renovation — Phase 7, as well as Danville Sewer Renovation — Phase 4 as planned and within
budget.
• The UV Replacement and UV Hydraulic Improvement Projects will be combined into one project
due to the interdependency of the design and construction.
• Steam and Aeration Improvement Project: Elements identified as part of the condition assessment
and will be completed in multiple projects as follows:
a. Phase 1 - Electrical Blower Improvements Project
b. Phase 2 -Aeration Basins Diffusers and Seismic Renovation Project
c. Phase 3 - Secondary Treatment Improvements Project
d. Phase 4 - Steam System Renovation Project
• Combined the Electric Blower Improvements and Piping Renovation- Phase 10 into one
construction contract due to the similar scope and project locations.
• Combined the Contractor Staging project and the Treatment Plant Security Improvements for
bidding purposes into one construction contract.
Modification of Scope or Budget:
• The Pump Station Upgrades— Phase 1 was increased by $420,000 due to a recent and
unexpected change in air regulations.
• Outfall Improvements— Phase 7 budget was transferred to initiate a new project, Outfall
Monitoring improvements at $610,000 to address regulatory concerns and repairs of the
existing level monitoring system.

Capital Improvement Budget - Collection System Program
The following are the major points of emphasis for the FY 2021-22 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 and force main 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
• 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.

Large Diameter Pipeline Inspection Program- Phase 1 - District Project 8443
Program Phase Priority Rank Ranking Score
Collection System Planning 11 255
Purpose:
To assess the condition of large diameter trunks and interceptors —EmProject 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

Program Phase Priority Rank Ranking Score
Collection System Planning 20 185
Purpose:
To assess the condition of force mains and confirm the timing for Project Drivers
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
Pump Station Upgrades Project- Phase 2)
• Other pump stations have a lower risk and will be inspected in the future

Collection System Modeling Support— District Project 8449
Program Phase Priority Rank Ranking Score
Collection System Construction 29 120
Purpose:
To maintain and update the InfoWorks° hydrodynamic collection Project
system model. Aging
Infrastructure Capacity
Drivers:
A new InfoWorks° Integrated Catchment Modeling hydrodynamic Regulatory Sustainability
collection system model was configured and calibrated for
190 miles of the trunk sewer system. The new model replaced an
old steady-state static model that was no longer supported by
vendors and did not offer the same level of accuracy or useful
output information that is available with new vendor-supported,
state-of-the-art hydrodynamic models.
The new model is used for several critical Central San operations
such as evaluating sewer capacities, identifying capacity
deficiencies, developing sewer sizing criteria, evaluating impacts
from increased flows due to development (paid by permit or plan
review fees) and special discharges, evaluating re-routing options,
and providing hydraulic grade line information that is helpful
during emergencies or sewer renovation work.
Description:
The following are major elements included in the project:
• Coordinate and update the InfoWorks° model with the Geographic Information System
• Consider expansion of the trunk sewer model into high priority development areas where
anticipated sewer capacity evaluations will be required
• Identify critical areas with model-predicted surcharge conditions, and install remote level monitors
and/or flow monitoring equipment and rain gauges if required
Operating Department Impact and Funding Source:
This project will have a minor impact on the operating budget due to software updating and licensing
costs. Project expenditures are funded from Capital Revenues.

and replacement will be identified as part of the condition of and
the timing for renovation needs that are identified in the Regulatory sustainability
inspection of large diameter project under District Project 8443.
M
Drivers:
Central San owns 76 miles of wastewater trunks and interceptors
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
will be evaluated under District Project 8443 for remaining life.
The bulk of the replacement is recommended within the Ten-Year
Capital Improvement Plan. Continual replacement will provide the best possible protection against
SSOs. The Large Diameter Piping Renovation Project— Phase 1 will span the next five fiscal years
(FYs 2020-27).
Description:
This project is for sewer selection planning and design work for a phased large diameter pipeline
replacement program that will be developed and prioritized based on pipe age and consequence of
failure. This project is the first of a multi-year phase replacement program and will review pipeline
data and prioritize large diameter sewers for inspection. The initial assessment will be approximately
6,000 feet of large diameter reinforced concrete sewers using enhanced CCTV.

of its useful life expectancy. Aging
Infrastructure Capacity
Drivers:
This project replaces aging equipment in poor condition at the San Regulatory Sustainability
Ramon Pumping Station. Critical spare parts are identified to
improve resiliency and reliable operations during emergency
conditions, power failures, and severe wet weather
conditions.
Description:
The following are major elements included in the project:
• The existing Automatic Transfer Switch (ATS) has "
significant limitations in maintainability and needs to
be replaced. To deenergize the ATS or any MCCs, PG&E
has to be called out to shut down power to the entire
station. There is no way that staff can access to shut down power for maintenance. This makes
maintenance on several pieces of electrical equipment very difficult and leaves the station
vulnerable if equipment malfunctions and PG&E can't respond quickly.
• The arc flash hazard is extremely high for the existing ATS and the PG&E service entrance (SE).
To mitigate these issues, staff recommends replacing the existing SE with a unit that has main
rack-out breakers and remote trip functionality.
• Staff also recommends replacing the three remaining Robicon Variable Frequency Drives
(VFDs). Plant Maintenance has had to respond to many failed or malfunctioning Robicon VFDs
throughout the plant and the pump stations.

Capital Improvement Budget - Treatment Plant Program
The following are the major points of emphasis for the FY 2021-22 Treatment Plant Program:
• Replace equipment as they reach the end of their useful lives to avoid structural and
mechanical failures, reduce downtime, and control maintenance costs
• Rehabilitate aging infrastructure and assure process systems are reliable
• Meet or exceed safety standards for employees
• Respond to regulatory requirements related to pending air emissions regulations
• Increase sustainability and energy related projects for future sustainability
Aging Infrastructure (Asset Rehabilitation and Replacement Projects)
Projects in this subprogram are targeted as asset preservation, rehabilitation, and replacement. The
main projects in this program are the Plant-Wide Instrumentation Upgrades and the Influent Pump
Electrical Improvements, which will extend the useful life of existing equipment and/or facilities and
replace critical infrastructure like the Headworks variable frequency drives.
The largest and most significant project will be the start of the Solids Handling Facility Improvements,
which includes sludge blending tanks, solids dewatering equipment replacement (feed pumps,
centrifuges, cake pumps), wet scrubber, ash handling improvements, as well as associated electrical,
instrumentations, and controls improvements.
The design of the Ultraviolet (UV) Disinfection System Improvements will begin and will be merged
with the UV Hydraulic Improvement Project.
The Steam and Aeration Blower Systems Renovations (Steam project) will conclude its condition
assessment of the aging steam systems, secondary treatment processes, and associated electrical
distribution systems. Several of the phases that are derived from the Steam project will be
implemented. These include construction of the Electric Blower Improvement, design of the Aeration
Basins Diffusers Renovation and Seismic Improvement project, and the preliminary design of the Steam
System Improvements.
Other aging infrastructure projects include Piping Renovation - Phase 10, Annual Infrastructure Project,
and Uniform Public Construction Cost Accounting Act (UPCCAA) Urgent Projects.
Regulatory Compliance (Includes Planning and Safety Projects)
This subprogram includes projects that emphasize preparing for future regulations and treatment plant
planning, including pilot testing various new technologies. Work will be implemented to comply with
pending new air permitting requirements, and the installation of incinerator emissions improvements is
included in the Solids Handling Facility Improvements Project.
Safety and security improvements will continue under this subprogram. The Solids Conditioning
Building and multiple hearth furnaces seismic improvements design will continue under the Solids
Handling Facility Improvements Project. The design of the UV Disinfection System Improvements will
June 3, 2021 Regular Board Meeting Agenda Packet2-29age 324 of 646
Page 232 of 332
be implemented to make sure the treatment plant can reliably meet the disinfection National Pollutant
Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) effluent permit requirements. The existing activated sludge
process, which includes the aeration basins. has been added to the CIB because the aeration diffusers
which provide oxygen to the biological system are no longer able to provide adequate oxygen transfer
for a reliable process and could lead to potential permit violations if not attended to in the near future
Capacity(Expansion Projects)
There are no projects in FY2021-22 that include expansion of the treatment plant. However, there are
projects such as the UV Disinfection Replacement, Hydraulic Improvements, and the Aeration Diffusor
Project that will address internal bottlenecks and degrading systems to reach design capacities.
Projects like the Influent Pump Electrical and Electric Blower Improvements will increase back-up
capacity to match current operating and wet weather scenarios for reliability.
Sustainability (Resiliency and Energy Projects)
Under this subprogram, the existing steam and aeration blower systems at the treatment plant will
continue evaluation through condition assessments and the Lighting and Air Conditioning Project will
replace equipment in poor condition with high efficiency models.
All projects in this program are summarized, including planned expenditures, in the following Table 3:

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 could 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/Construction 25 150
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
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, and to 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
protection level of a 200-year to 500-year storm with adequate freeboard. The FCD will be the lead
agency, and Central San will provide support for design review and construction coordination. Both
agencies have agreed to equally share the estimated project costs. Central San anticipates accepting
and storing soil on buffer property that can be used as levee material to provide in-kind contributions
of up to $500,000. Staff will continue to evaluate in-kind financial contributions.

Steam and Aeration Blower Systems Renovations - District Project 7349
Program Phase Prioritv Rank Ranking Score
Treatment Plant Planning/Design 14 225
Purpose: or
To evaluate the existing steam system, waste heat recovery, steam
turbines, electrical power distribution system, and secondary treatment Aging
systems, and to plan and preliminary design of future projects.
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 _ r
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 in the evaluation:
• 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(Currently in design under DP 10015)
• Evaluate modifications to existing aeration tanks and the activated sludge system, including the hydraulics
(Currently in design under new project TBD)
• Evaluate modifications to existing secondary clarifiers and associated return-activated sludge and waste-
activated sludge feed systems.
• Determine impact from Refinery 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

Purpose:
To replace the legacy Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system
that manages Central San's finances, budget, human resources, Aging Capacity
procurement, payroll and other related resources.
Infrastructure p y
Drivers: Regulatory Sustainability
The existing SunGard ERP system uses outdated technology that
does not meet the current and future Central San business needs.
The latest generation of ERP systems has been developed to
implement modern best-practice processes that will help Central San
to streamline and optimize many business processes. * "
This project will eliminate the need for staff to use many manual
processes and workarounds that are currently in use to accomplish ER P
work. It will enable more organizational transparency by providing
visibility into financial and business data in ways that are not
currently possible and will provide the latest generation of technology •
to ensure full integration with future business applications.
Description:
The following are major elements included in the project:
• Conversion of data from SunGard system to new ERP system
• Implementation of Human Resources, Finance, Payroll, and related systems
• Staff training
• Integration with related Central San systems
A replacement of Central San's permitting software functionality, currently provided by the SunGard
system, is not included in these costs but may be funded from IT Development or other project
sources.
Operating Department Impact and Funding Source:
This project is expected to have an annual ongoing impact of approximately$200,000 on the Operating
Budget, upon the full retirement of the previous ERP system and cessation of maintenance costs for
that legacy system. Other operating efficiencies may offset, in part, some of these direct costs. Project
expenditures are funded from Capital Revenues.

General improvements Design/Construction 37 45
Purpose:
To install electric vehicle charging stations (EVCS) in the parking lot Project Drivers
of the Plant Operations Building. Aging
Infrastructure Capacity
Drivers:
The installation of EVCS provides an opportunity for Central San to Regulatory Sustainability
demonstrate its environmental leadership. The transportation
sector is the largest producer of greenhouse gas emissions in
California and the state legislature has established many incentives and
mandates for its electrification. In late 2020, Governor Newsom signed an
order prohibiting the sale of gasoline-driven vehicles after 2035, so electric
vehicles (EVs) will be the future in California. Having the ability to charge I
at work is a major factor in a consumer's decision to purchase an EV, so
Central San can encourage and support our employees' transition to EVs by
installing EVCS, in addition to providing access to EV charging to any
customers and other guests visiting Central San's headquarters in
Martinez.
Description:
This project will extend the appropriate electrical infrastructure from the
Pump and Blower Building and install Level 3 EVCS in the POB parking lot.
Any work to be included at CSO will be done under the General

Program Phase Priority Rank Ranking Score
General Improvements Planning/Design/Construction 1 345
Purpose:
Provide for the capitalization of a response plan to safely bring Project Drivers
staff back to the office post-pandemic in the workplace. Aging
Infrastructure Capacity
Drivers:
Welcoming employees back to the post-pandemic workplace Regulatory Sustainability
presents a challenging paradox. Traditionally, the office has
functioned as a place for communal activities; often intentionally
designed to bring people together to interact, solve problems, share '
ideas and information. In contrast, returning to the workplace now s -.7
means that we need to find new ways to bring people together,
while simultaneously providing the capability to keep them apart i
safely and responsibly. As the pandemic has turned conventional
thinking on workplace design inside-out, previously normative
approaches to space per person, ratios of open to enclosed space,
collaboration zones, and environmental systems should be
reconsidered to implement, promote, and sustain employee health and wellness at significantly
different levels.
Description:
Actions in the foreseeable future will focus on preparing both the people returning to the workplace
and the space itself. Decisions surrounding workplace modifications will need to be based on thorough
assessment and evaluation in addition to risk/ reward considerations balancing initial costs versus on-
going health and wellness, employee productivity, effectiveness, and business continuity. Vital to the
transition back to the office, and undoubtedly the most immediate to be addressed, is the change
management process that helps enable this transition, i.e., finding effective ways to communicate the
new workplace reality to the business community and their employees.

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
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.
June 3, 2021 Regular Board Meeting Agenda Packet2-7l3age 372 of 646
Page 280 of 332
The major emphasis of the Recycled Water Program for the next fiscal year will be to finalize
construction of 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 2021 - FY 2031)
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, 2021 and ending June 30, 2031.
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 $939.7 million.
June 3, 2021 Regular Board Meeting Agenda Packet2.813age 380 of 646
Page 288 of 332
Ten-Year Capital Improvement Plan Budget Process
The Ten-Year CIP assumes that funds will be available to support the plan. For FY 2021-22, these funds
come from sources as discussed in the Financial Summary section. The only two controllable sources
are issuance of debt or adjustment of the capital component of the Sewer Service Charge. With
respect to debt, the Capital Plan assumes that a 2021 State Revolving Fund (SRF) loan will be finalized
and will fund the Solids Handling Facility Improvements Project from FY 2021-22 through
FY 2025-26.
No other debt offerings are currently assumed in the ten-year financial plan, but others are being
explored. A bond offering for June 2021 may substantially fund the portion of the FY 2021-22 CIB that
is currently to be funded by Sewer Service Charges. If this bond offering proceeds, a budget
amendment will be made to reflect the revised funding overall funding sources of the FY 2021-22
budget. There is also an expectation that Central San will apply for additional SRF loans over the
course of the Ten-Year CIP, but these are not assumed in the financial plan as no assurance is currently
available that this competitive funding will be available. If successful, Central San's financial plan
would be revised accordingly.
The Ten-Year CIP is currently budgeted 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 the future 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
June 3, 2021 Regular Board Meeting Agenda Packet2.8Rage 381 of 646
Page 289 of 332
• Identified new or updated policies, programs, and guidelines for Board consideration 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. These projects include the following:
• Nutrient Removal (Nutrient Watershed Permit): Possibly within 10 years **
• Water Exchange (Refinery Recycled Water) Project— 16-20 million gallons per day
• Advanced Treatment/Contaminants of Emerging Concern Removal **
• Renewable Energy Projects (triggered by increased power demands from nutrient removal) **
• Concord Community Reuse Project Recycled Water Facilities Improvements
• Concord Community Reuse Project Collection System Improvements *
• Concord Community Reuse Project Recycled Water Distribution System (Central San's plan is to
wholesale recycled water to CCWD, who will oversee the new distribution system and 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
June 3, 2021 Regular Board Meeting Agenda Packet2.813age 382 of 646
Page 290 of 332
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
then works 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 expects to finalize a State Revolving Fund loan application during mid-2021
for a $173.4 million loan for the Solids Handling Facility that funds planning and construction costs for
that project. Repayment would not commence until the completion of the facility; accordingly a debt
service schedule is not included in this document, however a 20 year amortization is expected, with an
interest rate based on a percentage of the latest State of California General Obligation bond prior to
loan finalization (expected to be less than 1%).
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.
June 3, 2021 Regular Board Meeting Agenda Packet2-9F3age 396 of 646
Page 304 of 332
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.
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.
Additional Planned Debt Issuance
A 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.
Central San anticipates utilizing long-term financing in FY 2021-22 to finance the Solids Handling
Project. A $3 million draw on this facility was also anticipated in the budget for FY 2020-21, and a
$34.12 million draw is budgeted in FY 2021-22.
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. In 2020, Central San requested an increase in the funding amount from
$89.6 million to $173.4 million to reflect higher than anticipated project costs, and the revised loan
application was accepted by the SWRCB. After finalization of a loan agreement, expected to be
completed in mid-2021, borrowings are expected to commence.
In the 10-year horizon covered by Central San's financial plan, additional SRF borrowing (subject to
Board approval) applications may be submitted to economically finance other projects.
As of April 2021, staff are also pursuing a potential debt issuance that may fund a portion of
FY 2020-21's sewer construction expenditures, the majority of FY 2021-22 sewer construction spending
not already funded by the SRF loan, and potentially, a portion of the following fiscal year's
expenditures. The issuance amount, if it proceeds, is expected to be approximately $60 million, and is
subject to final structuring, and Board approval. A debt service schedule is not included in this
document, as such information is not yet available. A budget amendment would likely be adopted to
reflect the budgetary effects of this transaction, if it proceeds. Anticipated changes to the budget
would include:
• Allocation of Sewer Service Charge between O&M and sewer construction funds
• Revisions to tables showing sewer construction and O&M revenues
• Revisions to tables detailing overall funding sources
• Revisions to the funding sources and uses charts
• Revisions to the Reserve Calculation tables.

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 for FY 2021-22 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:
June 3, 2021 Regular Board Meeting Agenda Packella0l3age 400 of 646
Page 308 of 332
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.

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,
0&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

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.

BudgetTerms and Definitions Used in the Document
Unfunded The difference between the actuarial accrued liability and the actuarial value of assets
Actuarial accumulated to finance that obligation. This is a term used in connection with pension
Accrued Liability plans or commitments to provide other post-employment benefits (OPEB)to employees.
(UAAL)
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 0&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:
• 0&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 O&M and Sewer Construction funds but excludes
restricted balances held in the Self-Insurance and Debt Service funds.
