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) 2022-23 combined Operations and Maintenance (0&M) and Capital Improvement Project (CIP)
budget. 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.
This year, Central San celebrated 75 years of service to our community. Over the decades, Central San
has seen tremendous changes, from the growing population of our service area, to advances in
wastewater treatment technology, to the strengthening of environmental standards and requirements.
Today, we collect and clean more than 13 billion gallons of wastewater every year and serve 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, our Permit
Counter, as well as award-winning public outreach and student educational programs. These services
will continue to receive the resources 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 providing
the level of service for which our customers are accustomed. 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
Over the past two years, the COVID-19 pandemic has
underscored the centrality of public health to our
communities, economy, and way of life. Throughout this
challenging period, Central San has continued to provide
essential wastewater collection and cleaning services without
interruption.
Through ingenuity and innovation, we also have developed
new ways to safely meet the needs of our customers. We
implemented enhanced safety protocols and contactless `�-
Cvllccn
procedures for our Permit Counter and HHW facilities, and
developed virtual school education and public outreach '
programs, including an interactive 75th Anniversary virtual
experience. Through our participation in COVID-19 regional monitoring and research efforts, we have
supported the emerging science of wastewater-based epidemiology to help public health officials track
and respond to the virus.
May 26, 2022 Special Board Meeting Agenda Packet1page 120 of 532
Page 14 of 358
The unprecedented events of the pandemic have impacted budgets and revenues for special districts
across the state, and Central San is no exception. To help recover some of the unexpected expenses
related to our pandemic response, Central San applied for and received nearly $1 million in state
funding through California's Independent Special District Relief Fund. We are continuing to monitor
these expenses and expect to submit a claim for additional COVID-related costs to the Federal
Emergency Management Agency once the disaster declaration ends.
Acknowledging our Accomplishments
Despite the challenges, the past fiscal year has been a very successful one at Central San. We joined an
elite club of public agencies that have fully funded employee pensions by successfully paying off an
outstanding pension Unfunded Actuarially Accrued Liability (UAAL) of$70.8 million, which we
anticipate will save about $15 million in interest costs through 2029. We also marked our 2411
consecutive year of 100% compliance with our National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System Permit,
qualifying for the Platinum Peak Performance Award from the National Association of Clean Water
Agencies (NACWA)—a record achieved by fewer than 20 of the NACWA member agencies.
As we strive to provide exceptional service at reasonable rates, our two-year Strategic Plan serves as a
guidepost to keep us focused on our vision and goals. Some of the significant accomplishments under
each of the seven goals in the Strategic Plan include:
` ■ CUSTOMER AND COMMUNITY

Community Profile
For over 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 (Board) 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

Budgeting Calendar, Process, and Spending Authorities
The budget development process for FY 2022-23 started midway through FY 2021-22 with updates to
the Ten-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 on March 24, 2022. Board
guidance on these matters was used in the budget development during this 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 2019 and a public hearing on
proposed rate adjustments in April 2019. 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 increases 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. Following the aforementioned financial planning workshop on March 24, 2022, a public
hearing was held on whether or not to stay the course for the FY 2022-23 SSC rates, which would
incorporate the 4th and final of the previously Board-approved 4-year rate increases. The Board
concurred with staff and voted unanimously to leave the previously approved FY 2022-23 rates in
place.
With the expiration of the currently in place four-year SSC rate schedule in July 2024, Central San
intends to conduct a cost-of-service study to develop SSC rates for FY 2023-24 and beyond. Pursuant
to forecasts included in the Ten-Year Financial Plan discussed at the March 24, 2024 Financial Planning
workshop, it is anticipated that modest and gradual rate increases will be necessary to address future
operational and capital improvement program needs. Consistent with prior year strategies, Central
May 26, 2022 Special Board Meeting Agenda Packet2Fage 134 of 532
Page 28 of 358
San will strive to maintain the appropriate balance of funding sources between ongoing SSC revenues,
reserves, and debt financing to ensure the stability of SSC rates through years where capital spending is
expected to significantly ramp up. In accordance with the law, any proposed increases to future SSC
rates will be preceded by public outreach, Proposition 218 hearings, and public Board financial
planning workshops.

A calendar of key intersecting events during the process for the FY 2022-23 budget is provided below,
comprised of activities from two of the three critical business areas of the planning process: Budget
and Rate Setting. Strategic planning activities were limited to data collection and reporting on the

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 the Finance Committee. All
expenditures are submitted monthly to the Finance Committee and the Board for review and approval.
Monthly financial statements are issued internally and to the Board. Monthly and annual variance
explanations are presented to the Board. The Board also reviews year-end variance explanations and
determines how available funds from favorable variances are used.
May 26, 2022 Special Board Meeting Agenda Packet2rage 136 of 532
Page 30 of 358
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 the summer of June 2022 (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 2022-24 Strategic Plan and reports FY 2021-22 strategic
accomplishments and performance (based on information available during the publication of this book
in spring 2022), as well as objectives for FY 2022-23. The FY 2020-21 performance against the metrics
included in each of the divisions' sections is measured against the same targets for FY 2021-22, which
are included in the FYs 2020-22 Strategic Plan.
The development of the FYs 2022-24 Strategic Plan began with the Board's re-adoption of Central San's
Mission and adoption of revised Vision, Values, and Goals in the summer of 2021. These updates
emphasized the agency's commitment to the environment, innovation, optimization, and continuous
improvement.
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 across the organization. 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 primary activities of the
aggregate enterprise fund are further segmented into four funds and three other ancillary 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 (property taxes) and a portion of Sewer Service Charge (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 2022-23,
the Capital Projects budget will be funded through current year rate collections (cash funded), and
State of California Revolving Fund (SRF) loan proceeds for Phase 1 of 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 is used to track self-insurance reserves and related
investment earnings as well as costs of insurance premiums and claims not covered by Central
San's insurance policies. 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 SIF. As outlined in detail in
the Self-Insurance Program section, the SIF contains two "sub-funds" for budgeting and tracking
different types of self-insured losses. Sub-Fund A tracks general and automobile liability losses,
while Sub-Fund C tracks losses related to emergencies or catastrophic events. Maintaining self-
insured retentions and reserves helps to reduce Central San's insurance premium expense.
• Debt Service Fund—This fund accounts for activity associated with the payment of Central San's
long-term debt. Central San's current debt includes Revenue Refunding bonds issued in September
2018 to refund previously existing 2009 bonds, and Certificates of Participation issued in 2021 to
finance a portion of capital program expenditures for FY 2020-21 and FY 2021-22 and help facilitate
the payoff of Central San's outstanding pension UAAL. Central San's property tax revenue is the
primary funding source for the Debt Service Fund.

Page 38 of 358
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 Board approval.
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. This fund was largely liquidated in June 2021, with nearly
$12.8 million being used to help finance the payoff of the outstanding balance of Central
San's pension UAAL totaling approximately $70.8 million.
• 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
Board adopted an OPEB Funding Policy (BP 042) in September 2020 establishing a target to
achieve full funding (100%funded level) by meeting the actuarially determined
contributions (ADC) contribution requirements specified by an independent actuary
(currently Bartel &Associates). As of July 1, 2021, the OPEB UAAL had a remaining closed
amortization period for 14 years, scheduled to be fully paid off in FY 2033-34. 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 annual comprehensive 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 2021-22 to increase the Self-Insurance Catastrophic
Loss/Emergency Reserves level from $5.0 million to $7.5 million. 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, 2022, and June 30, 2023.
• O&M Fund—Working capital reserves, the Board has set a target of five months (5/12 or
approximately 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 financed with debt.
• SIF Reserves—The Board has set a target of three times the annual retention ($500,000), for a total
of$1.5 million for its auto and general liability risk program. In addition, as noted previously, to
help mitigate the financial impacts and maintain uninterrupted service in the event of an
emergency or catastrophic event, Central San maintains an additional Emergency Fund Reserve
balance of$7.5 million.
• 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. 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, an addition contribution of$2.15 million of available monies from the FY 2019-20
financial close, and an additional contribution of$2.7 million from the FY 2020-21 financial close.
As of June 30, 2022, the fund is projected to have a balance of$7.46 million. Rate Stabilization
Fund Reserve accounts were created within the O&M Sub-Fund and the Sewer Construction Sub-
Fund.
• Pension Prefunding Trust and OPEB Trust fund provisions are also described in the Financial
Reserves Policy. Investment Guideline documents also specify investment parameters to be
followed by the external investment manager.

Basis for Budgeting
The basis for budgeting refers to the method of recognition of revenue and expenses in budgetary
reporting, which differs from the basis of accounting used in financial reporting. Central San's
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
annual comprehensive 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 annual comprehensive 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 annual comprehensive 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.
This table illustrates the differences between the budget and accounting basis as reflected on the
income statement as described previously:

Debt proceeds Included Excluded

Page 41 of 358
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.
Budget Amendments
In August 2021, the Board adopted amendments to the 0&M and debt service budgets to reflect
the pay-off of the CCCERA pension plan UAAL. A borrowing transaction in June 2021 produced
funding for the capital program and freed up funds that were used to pay off the pension plan
UAAL. As a result, O&M spending for FY 2021-22 and future years was to be reduced, while debt
service was increased. The budget amendment reflected this reallocation and change in spending
authorization in these funds. The following table provides a comparison of FY 2021-22 adopted
versus amended budgets:
Table 1a— FY 2021-22 Adopted Versus Amended Budget

Given the significance of this change, the remainder of this budget document shows the FY 2021-22
budget, as amended in comparison to FY 2022-23 for a more useful apples-to-apples comparison of
budgeted line items.
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. The table below shows the status of past or current year
budget expenditures that were approved or are proposed for regulatory accounting treatment. No
additional items are proposed for regulatory accounting expenditures beyond two years which were
proposed in the FY 2021-22, and which continue to be budgeted for in the proposed budget, while the
first item in the table is no longer needed.

the three expenditures proposed as part of the FY 2021-22 budget are contemplated to still be needed
and warrant regulatory accounting treatment. The table below shows the status of past or current
year budget expenditures that were approved or are proposed for regulatory accounting treatment.
May 26, 2022 Special Board Meeting Agenda Packet4(page 149 of 532
Page 43 of 358
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, prudent, and limited use of debt to finance Central San's capital
improvement program. Central San has primarily applied a pay-as-you-go philosophy while capital
expenditures were stable from year to year but has occasionally (including in 1994 and 2009) used
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 ten-year period the amount of funding needed for ongoing pipeline replacement is to
generally be collected through SSC rates, capacity fees, and/or property 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 and 2021 Certificates of Participation. As of
June 30, 2021, total outstanding debt associated with infrastructure improvements was $66.1 million,
to be reduced to $55.7 million by June 30, 2022, through regularly scheduled debt service principal
payments. As noted in the "Debt" section of this document, borrowings under a SRF loan are
anticipated to begin in FY 2021-22 for Phase 1 of the Solids Handling Facilities Improvements Project.
Debt service for this loan will commence when the project is finalized, and accordingly, amortization of
this loan is not yet projected in this document. However, no repayments will be due in FY 2022-23.
Staff is also working on a potential 2022 bond offering which may fund a portion of FY 2022-23's
capital expenditures. A budget amendment to reflect the impact of this offering may be proposed if
the issuance proceeds.
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 1.0x (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, attributable to minimal current debt service
obligations following a mostly pay-as-you-go capital financing philosophy. This favorable coverage
ratio is a factor in Central San's very strong AAA and Aa1 credit ratings issued by Standard & Poor's and
Moody's, respectively.
Investment Policy
Central San's investment policy, BP No. 005—Statement of Investment Policy, last revised in October
2021, is based on state law and prudent money management principles. All investments are in
accordance with this policy and Sections 53646 and 53601 of the California Government Code.
Through a formal agreement, Central San is currently a voluntary pooled participant with the Contra
Costa County Treasury, allowing them to act as Central San's Treasurer. The County invests all Central
San's 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 and Pension
Prefunding Trusts, which are governed by separate specific investment guidelines also approved by the
May 26, 2022 Special Board Meeting Agenda Packet4page 150 of 532
Page 44 of 358
Board of Directors. The investment policy is reviewed by the Board annually, and its priorities, in order
of importance, 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 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 OPEB Trust adopting a
"moderate" investment strategy, and the Pension Prefunding Trust adopting a "moderately
conservative" investment strategy. With respect to both trusts, U.S. Bank is the Trustee, HighMark
Capital is the Investment Manager, and Public Agency Retirement Services is the Trust Administrator
and Consultant. As of February 28, 2022, the OPEB Trust had a balance of$83.3 million, a decrease
from $84.6 million on June 30, 2021. This reduction is largely attributable to market turmoil stemming
from heavy international sanctions imposed on Russia following the invasion of Ukraine in February
2022. The impact to Central San's OPEB Trust was both sudden and significant, demonstrated by the
fact that the Trust reported a market value of$87.8 million on December 31, 2021. At this point, it is
still unclear what long-term implications, if any, this crisis will have on the OPEB Trust or Central San's
investment strategy moving forward. Staff is continuing to monitor the situation and confer with
investment advisors, who at the moment still urge a long-term investment strategy avoiding any
sudden overreactions to circumstances that may ultimately be short-term volatility.
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 had the option of making 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 were made through
budgeted contributions, or supplemental contributions following the publication of unexpected
favorable year-end budget variances. These supplemental contributions in addition to initial seed
monies resulted in the Pension Trust growing to a balance of approximately $12.7 million as of
May 31, 2021. In June 2021, the bulk of the Pension Prefunding Trust balance was liquidated to assist
in the full pay-down of the outstanding pension UAAL liability reported by CCCERA. While a residual
balance of less than $0.1 million currently remains, the trust is still open and can be utilized in the
future at the discretion of the Board.
Current Financial Plan
Central San has a ten-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
May 26, 2022 Special Board Meeting Agenda Packet4:page 151 of 532
Page 45 of 358
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 24, 2022 Board Financial
Planning Workshop. The updated financial plan for FY 2022-23, reflecting results prior to the
completion of the FY 2022-23 proposed budget, estimated 0&M spending at $84.1 million and capital
spending at $108.0 million. The original financial plan adopted as the basis for the four-year rate
increase estimated FY 2022-23 0&M spending at $101.2 million and capital spending at $116.3 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 0&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 24, 2022 Board Financial Planning
Workshop presentation available on the Central San website.
A revised summary financial plan reflecting the FY 2022-23 assumptions for the O&M budget not
available at the time of the March 24 Board Financial Planning Workshop is provided in the Financial
Summary section of this budget book, illustrated in Table 15. The approved FY 2022-23 budget will
be used as a baseline for future years' planning.
Capital
The Ten-Year CIP was rolled forward one year, increasing from $926.8 million to $1,080.8 million over
this ten-year timeframe. The revised plan is stated in current (2022) dollars and attempts to address
capital improvement needs stemming from for major drivers including: (1) increasing capacity
demands driven by new development, (2) existing as well as new regulatory requirements, (3)
replacement of ageing infrastructure, and (4) ongoing sustainability. This updated ten-year plan was
presented to the Board at a public meeting on March 24, 2022, and reflects a detailed assessment of
Central San's latest needs, expected project timing, and a careful balance between revenues, reserves
and debt to limit volatility and ensure stability of customer rates. The Capital Improvement section of
this budget book provides detail about the FY 2022-23 capital budget and the Ten-Year CIP.

Financial Summary
The FY 2022-23 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, optimizing capacity, and complying with regulatory requirements. The FY 2022-23
budget also complies with the Financial Policies discussed in the previous section.
Central San's total budget for FY 2022-23 is $213.5 million, including net contributions to reserve,
representing an increase of$11.9 million (5.9%), compared to the prior year's budget of$201.7 million.
Changes by individual spending category are summarizes as follows:
• The O&M fund budget is $85.0 million, an increase of$5.5 million (6.9%) over the prior year
budget of$79.5 million, as amended. The FY 2021-22 O&M budget was initially adopted by the
Board in June 2021 with a budget of$91.0 million. As described in the Financial Planning Policies
section previously, the Board subsequently approved a FY 2021-22 budget amendment in
September 2021 to reflect the payoff of the pension plan's unfunded actuarially accrued liability
(UAAL) in June 2021, a financing transaction executed after the adoption of the FY 2021-22
budget. Given the significance of this change, FY 2021-22 O&M budgeted expenditures
throughout this budget book reflect the amended, rather than adopted, budget.
• The Sewer Construction fund budget is $91.0 million, a decrease of$17.0 million (-15.7%) from
the prior year budget of$108.0 million. Budgeted expenditures for this fund include capital
outlays for the treatment plant, collection system, recycled water, and general improvements
capital programs of the multi-year Capital Improvement Program.
• The Debt Service fund budget is $13.3 million, an increase of$0.4 million (2.8%) over the prior
year budget, as amended. Budgeted expenditures for this fund include debt service associated
with the 2018 Revenue Refunding Bonds as well as the 2021 Certificates of Participation.
• The Self-Insurance Fund (SIF) budget is $2.2 million, an increase of$0.9 million (68.9%) over the
prior year budget. Budget expenditures for this fund include the costs of premiums and
estimated losses based on historical actual experiences.

*Actuals for the O&M fund exclude the pension UAAL payoff totaling$70,763,669,which is considered an extraordinary item.
This has been backed out of this table and reported separately in other O&M budget tables as its inclusion would distort the
comparability between fiscal years. Total FY 2020-21 expenditures including this extraordinary item were$227,575,157.

The SSC is the largest source of revenue for FY 2022-23 at $114.7 million, followed by City of Concord
cost-sharing revenue at $25.1 million, property taxes at $21.6 million, and Capacity Fees at $4.6
million. All other sources of revenue, excluding draws on reserves and debt proceeds, are $5.6 million.
Non-revenue sources of funds for FY 2022-23 include expected borrowing of$42.0 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 residential and non-residential customer in Central San's service
area pays an SSC. 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 basis for the charge is the strength and volume of the
wastewater discharged, and customers are assigned to various classes for billing purposes. SSCs
rates 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 burden 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 non-residential customers were down in 2021 due to pandemic impacts.
As 2021 water consumption is the basis for commercial SSC charges, this is projected to translate to
a reduction in commercial SSC revenues by approximately $0.9 million.
• 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. The FY 2022-23 budget assumes property tax growth of 3.0% over
FY 2021-22 projected actual revenue.
• 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
May 26, 2022 Special Board Meeting Agenda Packet4rage 156 of 532

upcoming year. Pumped Zone Fees are collected specifically to cover pumping infrastructure costs
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 residential unit equivalents 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 the Finance and Right-of-Way Divisions 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 (NPDES) 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 2022-23.
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
• 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$42.0 million to fund the Capital
Improvement Budget for FY 2022-23 is shown in Table 13.
Tables 2a, 2b, 2c, 2d show the overall funding sources of Central San and how those funding sources
are applied to each sub-fund for the proposed FY 2022-23 budget, the FY 2021-22 budget, projected
actuals for FY 2021-22 and actual FY 2020-21 results.

Tables 3 and 4 show the SSC for FY 2022-23 compared to the prior four fiscal year's rates for residential
and non-residential customers. Rates for FY 2019-20 to FY 2022-23 were approved by the Board after
a public hearing on April 18, 2019, through the adoption of a four-year rate ordinance. Since then,
multiple financial workshops have been held (November 4, 2019; March 12, 2020; December 17, 2020;
March 25, 2021; and March 24, 2022) 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 21, 2022, the Board deliberated on whether to adjust the previously adopted rates
for FY 2022-23. The Board did not adopt changes, allowing the rates to go into effect for July 2022.

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 increases from 31.6% in FY 2021-22 to 58.0% in FY 2022-23. The
FY 2021-22 allocation of SSC to Capital was temporarily lower than typical due to the payoff of the
pension UAAL balance in June 2021 necessitating a higher-than-normal allocation of SSC to the O&M
fund in FY 2020-21 and FY 2021-22. Accordingly, the allocation of the SSC to the O&M fund decreases
from 66.9% in
FY 2021-22 to 41.1% in FY 2022-23, which is more in line with the historical O&M to Capital fund split.

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 2022-23 and FY 2023-24 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.
Table 5 also shows a direct allocation of SSC to the self-insurance fund to restore the self-insurance
fund balance to the required $9.0 million level. This change in the Self-Insurance funding in
May 26, 2022 Special Board Meeting Agenda Packet5Fage 164 of 532
Page 58 of 358
methodology was implemented in FY 2021-22, with the replenishment in years prior to that being
accomplished through the 0&M fund as an inter-fund expenditure. The direct allocation of SSC is the
preferred ongoing method as it is more transparent and avoids the perception of double-counted
expenditures that can be caused by inter-fund transfers.
Uses of Funds
The uses of funds (expenditures and contributions to reserves) for FY 2022-23 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 2022-23 financial workshop on March 24, 2022.

O&M revenue decreased by$46.9 million, or 40.2%x, due primarily to the following:
• For FY 2021-22, the allocation of SSC to O&M was significantly increased to finance the Board-
approved payoff of the outstanding balance of the pension plan UAAL in June 2021 totaling $70.8
million. The accompanying significant reduction in SSC allocated to the Sewer Construction fund in
FY 2021-22 was offset by the issuance of Certificates of Participation yielding $58 million in
proceeds with a true interest cost of 0.38% compared to the 7.0% discount rate charged on the
pension UAAL by Central San's pension administrator.
• 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 $17.6 million in
FY 2022-23, increasing in correlation with to the increase in budgeted treatment and other
operating costs eligible for reimbursement.
As shown in Table 7, total 0&M expenses are projected to be $85.0 million in FY 2022-23, an increase
of$5.5 million from the $79.5 million FY 2021-22 budget, as amended. This figure includes the costs
for Central San to deliver essential services including wastewater collection, wastewater treatment,
HHW collection, and recycled water production and distribution. The budget continues to provide
funding for strategic initiatives and key activities. Table 7 and Figure 5 show the FY 2022-23 O&M

The following provides an analysis of each of the major 0&M Budget expense categories shown in
Table 7 and illustrated in Figures 5 and 6 previously. The labels (A-D) correspond to the assigned
letters shown in Table 7.
A. Salaries &Wages
Budgeted salaries & wages are $42.7 million in FY 2022-23, compared to $39.7 million in
FY 2021-22, representing an increase of$3.0 million, or 7.6%. This expense category makes up
50.3% of the overall FY 2022-23 0&M Budget, a slight uptick from 49.9% in the prior year budget.
This incorporates a 5.0% cost of living adjustment (COLA) for full-time permanent employee
salaries effective April 2022 reflecting the February 2021 to February 2022 Bay Area consumer
price index (CPI) in accordance with employee labor agreements. The budget also assumes a COLA
of 3.75%for April 2023, which is the ceiling CPI rate allowable per the labor agreements currently
in place. This growth figure also incorporates step increases and longevity pay increases for eligible
employees, including those currently on payroll as well as anticipated new hires. Lastly, projected
Salaries & Wages assumes a vacancy factor of 3%, which is consistent with the prior year and
generally in-line with trends over the past 1-2 years.
B. Employee Benefits
Employee benefits decreased slightly from $12.7 million in FY 2021-22 to $12.3 million in
FY 2022-23. The employee benefits expense category is reported net of capitalized administrative
overhead. The table below provides additional details on employee benefits showing the gross
amount employee benefits prior to reductions for capitalized administrative overhead:

Benefits for Active Employees $16,628,569 $17,208,723 $17,930,895 $722,172 4.2%

Total Employee Benefits, Net of
Capitalized Admin Overhead $11,545,173 $12,688,724 $12,312,215 ($376,509) -3.0%
Excluding the capitalized administrative overhead credit, benefits for active employees is
comprised of healthcare costs, workers' compensation costs, payroll taxes, normal costs for
pension and OPEB, and a benefit vacancy factor estimate. These costs were $17.2 million in the
FY 2021-22 budget and rise to $17.9 million in the FY 2022-23 budget, which represents a 4.2%
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.
• Health (CaIPERS Medical)— Using known premium rates in effect for calendar year 2022, the
budget incorporates a 5.3% base plan premium increase for the first half of FY 2022-23 ending
December 2022. This same growth rate is assumed for second half of FY 2022-23.
May 26, 2022 Special Board Meeting Agenda Packet6(Page 169 of 532
Page 63 of 358
• Pension (Normal Cost)—The pension plan normal cost contribution rate, paid to CCCERA, is
decreasing slightly by 0.08% for legacy employees to 16.88% effective July 1, 2022. The normal
cost rate is increasing slightly by 0.22%for Public Employees' Pension Reform Act (PEPRA)
employees to 11.46% effective July 1, 2022. The defined pension normal cost contribution
rate changes incorporate numerous factors pertaining to participant demographics, actuarial
assumptions, and investment performance.
• Dental— Using known dental rates in effect for calendar year 2022, the budget incorporates a
3.8% premium increase for the first six months of FY 2022-23 ending December 2022. This
same growth rate is assumed for the next six months of FY 2022-23 ending June 2023.
• Vision— Using known dental rates in effect for calendar year 2022, the budget
incorporates a 3.8% premium increase for the first six months of FY 2022-23 ending
December 2022. No rate increase is assumed for the following six months ending
June 2023.
• Long-Term Disability— No rate increases are being assumed for this benefit category, which is
in alignment with rates over the past two years.
• Employee Assistance Program— No rate increase is anticipated for this benefit category in
FY 2022-23.
• Workers' Compensation—A 5% rate increase was assumed for budget purposes as the actual
rates have not been finalized. Following adjustments for the prior year experience
modification factor, the FY 2021-22 growth assumptions for workers' compensation were
proven to be slightly too conservative. Accordingly, the FY 2022-23 growth rate uses the
actual FY 2021-22 rate as a base which was lower than projected in the budget. This has
resulted in some modest budgetary savings in this expense category.
• Life Insurance— No rate increases are being assumed for this benefit category, which is in
alignment with rates over the past two years.
• OPEB (Normal Cost) - For improved financial planning and transparency purposes, the total
budgeted cost for retiree health, dental, life and vision premiums are split between its "normal
cost" and "UAAL" components of the actuarially determined contribution (ADC) calculated by
Central San's independent OPEB actuary, Bartel & Associates. The normal cost component of
OPEB, which is considered an active employee cost (not UAAL), is projected to decrease
slightly from $2.1 million in FY 2021-22 to $2.0 million in FY 2022-23. See Tables 4-6 in the
Supplemental Financial Information for additional disclosures on OPEB.
The Capitalized Administrative Overhead rate (shown in Table 7A), a credit given for capital work to
the O&M Budget for administrative overhead and non-productive work hours (i.e., vacation, sick,
holidays, etc.), is increasing from $4.5 million to $5.6 million in FY 2022-23. Despite a reduction in
the Board-approved Administrative Overhead and Benefits Rate for FY 2022-23, an increase in
employee time expected to be charged to capital projects (18.3% of total labor overall, compared
to 15.7% in the prior year) has resulted in an increase to the capitalized administrative overhead
component of benefits. Several divisions, including Capital Projects, Planning & Development
Services and Plant Maintenance, anticipate increases in time spent on capital projects in FY 2022-
23.
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
May 26, 2022 Special Board Meeting Agenda Packet6page 170 of 532
Page 64 of 358
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 2022-23, the total estimated cost of retiree health premiums is $4.6 million, reflecting a 7.4%
increase from the $4.3 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 again
$3.3 million in FY 2022-23. OPEB costs are "capped" as any costs above the ADC ceiling are eligible
for reimbursement from the OPEB trust. Per the Fiscal Reserves Board Policy (BP 017), "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 $1.3
million from the OPEB trust for the pay-as-you-go cost more than the ADC is anticipated
immediately following the close of FY 2022-23. It should be noted that reimbursing excess OPEB
"pay-go" cost above the ADC ceiling will not eliminate Central San's gradual contributions towards
paying down the UAAL as the OPEB ADC is comprised of both a normal cost and UAAL component.
The UAAL cost component of OPEB is remaining steady at $1.3 million in FY 2022-23.
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 $1.3 million higher than the ADC in FY 2022-23. Accordingly, there is no required OPEB trust
payment to fully satisfy the ADC in FY 2022-23. Despite this same condition existing in the prior
year, last year's budget still included a $1.25 million supplemental trust contribution to be directed
towards either pension or OPEB at the discretion of the Board, which was subsequently directed to
the OPEB trust. Given that the most recent GASB 75 OPEB actuarial report showed OPEB Plan's
funded status was 99.16% (on a market value basis) as of June 30, 2021, and in consideration other
budget priorities and cost pressures, an additional discretionary trust contribution is not included in
the
FY 2022-23 budget.
As mentioned previously, the Board authorized the payoff of Central San's outstanding pension
UAAL in June 2021 totaling approximately $70.8 million. This was financed, in part, by utilizing
accumulated balance of the Pension Prefunding Trust ($12.8 million), as well as allocating SSC that
would have otherwise gone to the capital program. In lieu of SSC, given the historically low interest
rate environment, Central San's Facilities Financing Authority successfully issued certificates of
participation (COPS) generating proceeds of$58 million to finance a portion of CIB expenditures in
FY 2020-21 and FY 2021-22. The COPS were issued with a true interest cost of 0.38%, compared to
the significantly higher discount rate of 7.0% charged on the UAAL by CCCERA. Accordingly, the
pension UAAL paid to CCCERA was essentially eliminated in FY 2022-23, except for a small
administrative recovery component of less than $0.1 million.
May 26, 2022 Special Board Meeting Agenda Packet6:page 171 of 532
Page 65 of 358
As noted previously, next year's budget no longer includes an additional contribution toward either
pension or OPEB obligations given the funded status of both plans. To the extent that budget
savings are available with the completion of both FY 2021-22 and FY 2022-23, the Board may
choose to direct part of the savings toward additional unfunded liabilities funding.
D. All Other O&M Expenses
The remaining O&M non-labor expenses total $28.6 million in FY 2022-23, reflecting an increase of
16.4% over the prior year's budget. Additional information is included in the individual division
budgets. The areas of most significant change include the following:
• Purchased Property Services—This expense category, which includes purchased services
attributable to property that is owned or used by Central San (i.e., repairs & maintenance,
hauling, security, cleaning, etc.) is reporting an increase of$0.9 million or 15.6%. Nearly three-
quarters of this increase stems from three divisions: Plant Maintenance, Plant Operations, and
Risk Management. The increase in Plant Maintenance is attributable to pumping stations
activities, with additional contracted maintenance costs associated with new grinders at the
Moraga pumping station as well as new generator maintenance at the Moraga and Orinda
Crossroads pumping stations. The increase in Plant Operations is caused by significant
increases in sludge hauling anticipated during FY 2022-23. Lastly, the increase in this expense
category in the Risk Management function is caused by the division adding a second full-time
24/7 security guard to patrol Central San's treatment plant facility.
• Other Purchased Services—This expense category, which includes professional, technical, and
administrative services, is increasing by approximately $1.0 million or 13.8%. Over 90% of this
variance is due to increases in the Office of the Secretary of the District, Information
Technology, and Environmental and Regulatory Compliance divisions. The increase in the
Office of the Secretary of the District is primarily driven by anticipated service from the County
Elections office for the upcoming General Election in November 2022. The Information
Technology division anticipates an overall increase in contracted support and training costs
related to the recently implemented cloud-based ERP system. Lastly, the Environmental and
Regulatory Compliance division has included new monies for an as-needed contract for a health
and risk assessment and other related items required by Bay Area Air Quality Management
District (BAAQMD) Rule 11-18.
• Supplies & Materials—This expense category includes supplies and materials consumed in
operations necessary to provide services including but not limited to utilities &fuel (i.e.,
electricity, natural gas, landfill gas, water, gasoline, etc.), chemicals (i.e., lime, polymer,
hypochlorite, etc.) and general supplies. This line item is increasing by $1.9 million, or 18.0%.
The Plant Operations division is responsible for the bulk (82%) of this increase, attributable to
significant price increases in natural gas and electricity (PG&E), petroleum-based chemicals
such as lime and polymer, and landfill gas. Beyond historically high national inflation levels, the
Ukraine-Russia conflict is causing extreme volatility in oil prices, which impacts both the cost of
producing as well as transporting certain chemicals used in the wastewater treatment process.
May 26, 2022 Special Board Meeting Agenda Packet6?age 172 of 532
Page 66 of 358
• Other Expenses—This expense category reports other less-significant expense types than those
listed separately and described previously. The Other Expense category includes costs such as
trainings & meetings, employee memberships, and other miscellaneous costs. Overall, this
expense category is increasing by approximately$0.2 million, or 21.1%, largely due to increases
expected in training & meeting costs as well as a reporting change in how credit card fees are
presented in FY 2022-23 as expenses rather than an offset to revenues.
During the COVID-19 pandemic, there was a significant increase in merchant card payment
transactions from customers following the implementation of online payment capabilities.
Prior to FY 2022-23 merchant card fees, being relatively immaterial (less than $30,000 total),
were reported as an offset of revenues and therefore did not appear as a budgeted annual
expenditure. As customer preferences have largely shifted to this more convenient paperless
payment method, it is expected that online merchant card fees will become a permanent part
of ongoing operations warranting their separate disclosure as a budgeted expense. For FY
2022-23, with an estimated increase of approximately 5%, total merchant card fees are
budgeted at $110,000.
While projected costs for training & meetings are expected to fall well short of the budget in
FY 2021-22, this is largely considered non-recurring as many conferences were transitioned to
less expensive virtual formats or were cancelled altogether in the first half of FY 2021-22 due to
precautionary measures taken to combat the spread of COVID-19. In FY 2022-23, staff largely
anticipates a return to normal for many on-site trainings and conferences. The projected
increase in trainings and meetings is largely attributable to training for new hires as well as
succession planning efforts with existing staff, with nearly 60% of the increase pertaining to
Plant Operations Department staff. The following table summarizes budgeted costs for
training, conferences, and meetings for FY 2022-23 as well as the previous two fiscal years.

Staffing, Salaries, and Benefits (Costs included in both O&M and Sewer Construction)
As summarized in Table 10, total labor, benefit, and UAAL related costs increased by approximately
$3.9 million, or 6.0%, from $65.2 million in FY 2021-22 to $69.1 million in FY 2022-23. Refer to Tables
1-6 in the Supplemental Financial Information for additional budgeted labor and benefits line-item
details.
Total salaries and benefits for active employees, excluding UAAL, are budgeted at $67.7 million in
FY 2022-23, including both the O&M Fund and the Sewer Construction Fund, compared to $62.6
million in FY 2021-22, a $5.1 million (8.1%) increase. UAAL costs for pension and OPEB (which relate to
both active employees and retirees) are $1.4 million, down from $2.6 million in FY 2021-22. This
reduction is largely attributable to there not being an additional OPEB or pension prefunding trust
contribution in FY 2022-23, whereas in FY 2021-22 there was a $1.25 million contribution budgeted.
Major factors affecting overall salaries and benefits include the following:
• Cost-of-living adjustments effective April 2022 based on provisions per memoranda of
understanding (MOUS)/ personnel resolutions with each bargaining unit of 5.0%, and an
estimated placeholder of 3.75%for April 2023.
• Step (5%) and longevity (2.5%) increases for applicable full-time permanent employees.
• The addition of two new permanent FTE positions, resulting in an increase of the permanent
headcount from 291 to 293 (see "Staffing Changes" section).
• Attrition of over 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$1.3 million lower
than estimated pay-as-you-go retiree premiums in FY 2022-23.
• A projected FTE vacancy factor of 3%.
• A significant reduction in the employer UAAL contribution rate paid to CCCERA following the
pension UAAL payoff in June 2021 coinciding with the issuance of the 2021 COPS.
The next several tables show various levels of detail regarding labor costs. Table 10 summarizes all
labor-related costs across two sub-funds. Additional tables in the Supplemental Financial Information
section at the end of this budget document provide additional detail about salary and benefit costs.

Staffing Changes
During 2015, a staffing and organizational 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. The Organization and Staffing Plan ultimately
recommended the addition of four positions to the then 287 budgeted positions, resulting a headcount
of 291 at that time. Commencing in FY 2020-21 and continuing through FY 2021-22, the budgets
included funds for implementing changes arising from an internal classification completed by the
Human Resources & Organizational Development Division. All changes arising from this classification
study were implemented by the close of FY 2021-22, with any changes to titles and compensation
being approved by the Board prior to implementation.
Overall, staffing is budgeted in FY 2022-23 at 293 full-time equivalent positions, which is two positions
higher than the prior year's budget. As noted previously, this budget includes funds for two additional
permanent full-time employees. One of the new FTEs included in the budget is for an Engineering
Assistant in the Planning & Development Services Division, which will be integral to the day-to-day
administration of Central San's RUE customer database. The second new FTE included in this budget is
for an Innovation & Optimization Program Manager in the Office of the Director of Operations cost
center, which will be essential for operational business process review and optimization
implementations.

Capital Improvement Budget
As shown in Table 13, Sewer Construction Fund funding sources, including debt proceeds, are
projected to increase by $28.0 million (27.7%), from $100.8 million in FY 2021-22 to $128.8 million in
FY 2022-23. This increase is largely attributable to an increased allocation of SSC compared to the prior
May 26, 2022 Special Board Meeting Agenda Packet?(page 179 of 532
Page 73 of 358
year. In the prior year, the O&M fund's payoff of the pension UAAL resulted in a significant but non-
recurring decrease in SSC allocated to the Sewer Construction Fund. Following the replenishment of
0&M fund reserves to minimum working capital levels per the Fiscal Reserve Policy in FY 2021-22, the
proportion of SSC being allocated to the Sewer Construction fund is returning to normal levels in
FY 2022-23. Additionally, the City of Concord reimbursement is projected to decrease by $1.2 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 2022-23. 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. $42.0 million of borrowing from the SRF is anticipated to fund the Solids Handling
Facilities Improvements Project in FY 2022-23.
The $91.0 million budget does not include the anticipated carryforward from FY 2021-22, which will be
communicated to the Board after the close of the current fiscal year. The FY 2022-23 capital budget is
decreasing by $17.0 million (15.7%) from the prior year, largely resulting from the deferral of
significant components of the large solids handling facilities improvements project to future years
following the project's Board-recently approved pivot in project scope from using incineration to
digestion for solids handling over the coming years.
Consistent with the prior year, 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 Ten-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 is projected to contribute approximately$46.9 million to capital reserves during
FY 2022-23 with revenues and bond proceeds exceeding expenditures by that amount. Accordingly,
the Working Capital Reserves of the Sewer Construction fund are projected to significantly exceed the
minimum requirement per the Fiscal Reserves policy. 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 $135.7 million, unadjusted for cash flow carryforward of inflation, in FY 2025-26 (see Table
15). The Working Capital Reserves of the Sewer Construction Fund are also elevated due to the
anticipated carry forward discussed two paragraphs above.
Table 13 provides a summary of the projected FY 2022-23 Sewer Construction Fund revenues
and expenditures. Further program and project-specific budget 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 2022-23 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 2022-23 Capital Improvement
Budget, these effects are largely expected to be minimal with one exception. The project most likely to
have significant impacts on future O&M costs is the Solids Handling Facilities Improvement Project, as
that project now contemplates transitioning away from using incinerators for solids handling to
digesters. This is a significant change from Central San's long-standing treatment process and will
undoubtedly change the amount and nature of in-house labor, contracted services, and materials &
supplies, the extent of which is unknown at this time. The revised project is currently undergoing
significant planning and design revisions, which will include an assessment of its impact to ongoing
future operations. To the extent that this and other future capital projects will have 0&M budgetary
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
will 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 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. Fiscal reserves are adjusted annually based on changes in the targeted
reserve balance calculations, and the FY 2022-23 budget incorporates the full funding of minimum
required reserves by the close of the fiscal year pursuant to the Fiscal Reserves Policy. The following
are the various reserve targets met in the FY 2022-23 budget:
• O&M Fund Working Capital Reserve Target—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 Working Capital Reserve Target—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.
• Self-Insurance Fund (SIF) Reserve Target—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$7.5 million in the SIF. In total, these two components constitute the total
reserve target of$9.0 million.
Table 14 presents a summary of Central San's current reserve balance projections compared to the
Board Policy (BP) targets. The O&M, Sewer Construction, and Self-Insurance funds are all projected to
close FY 2022-23 with reserve levels above minimum levels stipulated in the Fiscal Reserves Policy. 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 SSC, as
documented in Table 5 of this Financial Summary section. Absent other actions, to the extent that the
0&M fund has more reserves than are required under the policy, that sub-fund would receive a lower
allocation of SSC.

corresponding issuance of the 2021 COPs, O&M fund reserve levels were temporarily below the
policy-required levels on June 30, 2021. This was rectified by the Board through a budget
amendment reallocating the SSC split between the 0&M and Sewer Construction funds necessary
to augment O&M reserves back to normal levels. Consequently, by June 30, 2022, O&M reserves
are expected to be above minimum reserve policy levels by approximately $17.5 million. Pursuant
to the Fiscal Reserves Policy, these June 30, 2022 O&M reserves above policy-required levels are
systematically drawn down through the SSC split in FY 2022-23, providing additional SSC for Capital
Improvement Budget. As such, as outlined in Table 14, the O&M fund is projected to close
FY 2022-23 with a working capital reserve of$37.6 million, precisely the minimum policy-level
amount.
• Given higher than anticipated unspent CIB appropriations rolling over into FY 2021-22, Sewer
Construction fund working capital reserves are expected to be well over the policy-specified
minimum levels as of June 30, 2022. Accordingly, there is a projected decrease in Sewer
Construction reserves in FY 2022-23 as progress is made on unspent project appropriations from
the prior year. The Sewer Construction fund is projected to close FY 2022-23 with a working capital
reserve of$72.7 million, exceeding minimum working capital reserves by $29.4 million.
• The Self-Insurance fund is projected to close FY 2022-23 with a reserve of$9.0 million, equal to the
minimum working capital reserves set by Board policy. This incorporates additional
Board-approved transfers of O&M reserves following favorable FY 2020-21 budget variances
totaling $2.7 million during FY 2021-22.
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 million
from the FY 2019-20 closeout to this fund in the fall of 2020. Thereafter, the Board directed an
additional $5.2 million from the FY 2020-21 closeout of this fund in the fall of 2021.
Following a FY 2021-22 Board-approved transfer of$2.5 million in funds to the Self-Insurance fund,
the Rate Stabilization Fund Reserve Account is projected to close FY 2021-22 with a balance of
$7.46 million. 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
o Draw downs to meet targeted debt service coverage levels necessary
• Pension Prefunding Trust Fund— Following the pension UAAL payoff in June 2021, this trust is
expected to have a minor residual balance of less than $0.1 million as of June 30, 2022. While the
trust assumes a long-term average target return of 5.14%, given the current interest rate
environment and significant global market uncertainty stemming from the current Russia-Ukraine
May 26, 2022 Special Board Meeting Agenda Packet74:1age 183 of 532
Page 77 of 358
crisis, the budget only projects modest returns of 2.0% in FY 2022-23 to remain conservative.
While no additional contributions are budgeted in FY 2022-23 to the trust, it will remain active to
allow for maximum flexibility to hedge against any unexpected, but possible, resurfacing of the
pension UAAL in future years.
• OPEB Trust Fund—This trust is projected to close FY 2021-22 with a reserve of$86.6 million,
inclusive of investment returns and an anticipated OPEB reimbursement to Central San of
approximately$1.0 million. The trust and most recent OPEB actuarial report currently assume a
long-term average target return of 5.75%. Given that Central San's ADC amounts include payments
towards the UAAL, and in consideration of the favorable funding position of the OPEB plan, no
additional accelerated contributions are budgeted in FY 2022-23 to the trust. Conversely, OPEB
plan pay-go retiree premium costs are expected to exceed the ADC requirement by approximately
$1.3 million, which is budgeted to be reimbursed from the trust consistent with the prior year
budget. Following investment returns and this OPEB premium cost reimbursement, the trust is
projected to close FY 2022-23 with a reserve of approximately$90.2 million.
The Supplemental Financial Information section of this budget document contains a table showing
changes in net position and fund equity.

Debt Service
As noted previously, current debt service expenditures include outstanding payments on 2018
Revenue Refunding Bonds and the 2021 Certificates of Participation (COPS). Central San's total
principal debt service for FY 2022-23 is $10.75 million, compared to $10.45 million in the prior year.
Additional details on budgeted debt service are included in the Debt Program Section. Figure 9 depicts
all existing debt payments for Central San.

Regarding future debt issuance plans, while the large Solids Handling Facilities Improvements Project,
financed primarily by SRF loan proceeds, was slated to commence construction in FY 2021-22, the pivot
of this project's scope towards digesters has affected the timeline and funding sources of this project
significantly. While a portion of this project will continue to be financed with the SRF loan, the total
amount assumed to be financed by SRF has been significantly reduced from $173.4 million assumed in
last year's budget to $98.5 million. This SRF debt will have a term of 30 years, an interest rate of
0.90%, and payback is assumed to commence in FY 2026-27. However, as the project is still in
progress, the debt service schedule for the SRF loan transaction has not been finalized and is therefore
not included in the chart below. The SRF loan, along with any other future debt issuances, if any,
would add to this debt profile.

Historical Long-Term Spending Trends
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 2020-21). As illustrated in the chart below, the payoff of the pension
UAAL in June 2021 resulted in a noteworthy 12.3%year-to-year decline in the O&M budget
commencing in FY 2021-22. This was achieved by swapping the pension UAAL charges budgeted in the
O&M fund (charged as a percentage of payroll by Central San's pension administrator) with fixed
low-interest (0.38%) debt service of the 2021 COPS budgeted in the Debt Service fund.

The following chart provides a long-term trend of O&M budgeted spending which includes the 2021

constructively swapped for lower interest fixed debt service, this chart provides a more accurate
apples-to-apples comparison of historical O&M spending.

Long-Range Financial Plans
Each year of Central San's budgeting process includes long-range financial planning covering a ten-year
outlook. This section describes the assumptions used in the Ten-Year Financial Plan, including
forecasts for Central San's projected operating and capital fund revenues and expenses accounting for
anticipated service area population growth, inflation, capital investment requirements, and other
factors.
Strategic Plan
Central San's Strategic Plan includes various goals, including relationships to workforce development,
environmental stewardship, and infrastructure reliability, which have been considered when
developing the Ten-Year Financial Plan.
Revenue Forecast
The following is a summary of key assumptions related to the most significant revenue categories
included in Central San's latest ten-year financial forecast.
• Sewer Service Charges— FY 2022-23 is the final year of a four-year rate cycle approved by Central
San's Board of Directors at the conclusion of a Proposition 218 process in 2019. Central San
anticipates completing an updated Cost of Service study prior to proposing rates for FY 2023-24
and future years. Approximately 15-20% of annual SSC revenue is earned on a consumption basis.
As a result of COVID-related impacts to customers in these rate classes, Central San saw a reduction
in consumption-based revenue beginning in FY 2021-22 and is projecting that consumption will
May 26, 2022 Special Board Meeting Agenda Packet8page 190 of 532
Page 84 of 358
return to pre-COVID levels between FY 2023-24 and FY 2024-25. Additionally, the projected sewer
service revenues shown in the ten-year plan are also based on estimated future year revenue
requirements and rates which are not finalized until approved by the Board.
• Property Tax Revenues—Central San receives a share of the 1% countywide tax assessed by the
County of Contra Costa on properties within its District boundary. This tax is based on the assessed
value of property (net of any exemptions or other adjustments) as determined by the county
Auditor-Controller's Office. Consistent with national housing trends associated primarily with the
COVID pandemic, property values (i.e., home values) and sales rates in the Contra Costa region
have increased dramatically in recent years. This has resulted in annual increases in excess of 5%
per year. However, Central San anticipates this growth rate will return to a more traditional 2%to
5% annual increase in future years. Property Tax Revenues are included within the Non-Operating
Revenue category in Table 15.
• 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
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 residential unit equivalents anticipated to be
subject to such fees. Capacity Fee revenues are included within the Capital Revenue category in
Table 15.
• Concord Cost-Sharing—Since the 1970s, Central San has participated in a cost-sharing agreement
with the City of Concord to treat the wastewater for customers in the cities of Concord and
Clayton. Charges to Concord represent its flow-proportionate share of Central San's operating and
capital expenditures and debt service related to wastewater treatment. Recent years have shown
a slight decrease in the relative share of Concord's flow compared to Central San's total inflows, a
trend which is anticipated to continue. Additionally, Concord's share of capital expenditures and
any associated debt service is more directly related to expenditures in the Treatment Plant and
Recycled Water capital program areas. As planned spending in these areas changes in proportion
to total capital spending, Concord capital revenues are anticipated to adjust in a similar direction.
Revenues from the Concord Cost-Sharing arrangement are included within both the Operating and
Capital Revenues categories, as applicable, in Table 15.
• Loan & Debt Proceeds— In 2020, Central San received initial approval from the State Water Board
for a low-interest loan in support of a capital improvement project related to its Solids Handling
Facility, and the loan agreement was finalized in 2021. Loan proceeds are anticipated for Phase 1a
of this project through FY 2025-26. The ten-year plan includes similar proceeds for additional
capital projects at levels consistent with the corresponding project's cash flow requirement for
each fiscal year. Loan and Debt Proceed are included in the Capital Revenues category in Table 15.
May 26, 2022 Special Board Meeting Agenda Packetg:page 191 of 532
Page 85 of 358
• Other Revenues— In addition to the revenues noted above, Central San also collects a variety of
miscellaneous operating and non-operating revenues related to development and inspection costs,
hazardous waste collection, recycled water, stormwater/pollution prevention, leases, and other
miscellaneous activities as well as interest and investment-related revenues. Although these
revenues are generally anticipated to increase at a rate of 2-3% per year, since many of these fees
are designed simply to recover the cost of providing the associated services, they are not expected
to contribute significantly to improvements in Central San's net position or year-end balances.
Other Revenues are included in both the Non-Operating and Capital Revenues categories in Table
15 as appropriate.
Expense Forecast
The following is a summary of key assumptions related to the two major expense categories included
in Central San's latest ten-year financial forecast.
• Operating Costs - Central San's operating costs include the cost of operation and maintenance
expenses, self-insurance expenses, and debt service. Annual increases to O&M costs in the next
ten years are estimated to range between 3.3% and 5.5% per year, depending on the cost category
and spending item. Forecasts for these expenses are based on the following assumptions:
o Salaries & Wages expenses will increase consistent with the terms of current labor
agreements (Memoranda of Understanding).
o Individual benefit expenses are each escalated in one of three general ways: based on a
change on the prior year, as a percent of some other expense (such as salaries or
pensionable salaries), or to some other known/projected amounts (specifically OPEB/UAAL-
related expenses).
o Assumed annual 4% inflation for general expenses for two fiscal years, dropping to 3%
thereafter, with higher assumptions in the near-term for chemical and utility costs.
o Self-insurance costs are driven primarily by insurance premium expenses.
o Debt service for existing projects is based on existing repayment schedules; for anticipated
debt issuances, interest rates and repayment terms vary by the type of financing instrument
proposed and are based on current assumptions of rates in effect when the debt is likely to
be issued.
• Capital Costs—Capital cash flows are based on an annual review of projects required to
meet Central San's operational and regulatory requirements. This review results in a multi-
year Capital Improvement Plan with individual project costs determined for each fiscal year.
Annual project amounts are escalated to account for inflation in future years and adjusted
to match anticipated spending requirements.
Reserve Requirements
As described previously and disclosed in detail in Table 14, in addition to the expenses noted above,
Central San's Board has established year-end fund reserve policies in order to ensure that adequate
cash is available to meet anticipated cash requirements. These requirements have been included in
the ten-year financial plan but differ from those in Table 14 due to timing and other factors.
May 26, 2022 Special Board Meeting Agenda Packet8?age 192 of 532
Page 86 of 358
Ten-Year Financial Plan Summary
Combining the estimated Operating and Capital costs with reserve requirements determines each fiscal
year's revenue requirement. Applying anticipated annual revenues identifies any shortfalls requiring
additional revenue or overages to be reserved for future capital spending. To determine these
amounts, Central San uses a sewer service rate design model that includes the following core
assumptions:
• Projected fund balances available at the beginning of the fiscal year and any revenues received
during the year are available for use by that fund. The main exception to this is funds held in
Rate Stabilization Reserve Accounts within the Running Expense and Sewer Construction funds.
The funds in these accounts are internally restricted and cannot be used without Board
approval.
• Actual expenses and revenues will match projected amounts (i.e., no year-end surplus or
deficit).
• Any year-end remaining fund balances outside of the Sewer Construction Fund will be
reallocated to Sewer Construction for future capital requirements.
• Property tax revenues received are applied first against debt service expenses and reserve
requirements with any remaining amounts restricted to fund current and future capital costs.
• Capital Projects is generally assumed to spend 90% or less of its annual cash flow requirement
in any given year, with the balance deferred to the following fiscal year and escalated.
The rate design model also helps to ensure that the planning process adheres to existing fiscal policies
and debt covenant requirements regarding debt issuance and coverage, as outlined in the Financial
Planning Policies section previously. Core policy assumptions complied with in the ten-year financial
plan include the following:
• Not more than 60% of the overall CIP shall be financed with debt (BP-029).
• Central San 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 (BP-029).
• 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
(BP-029).
• Central San shall target a debt service coverage level of at least 2.Ox or greater for financial
planning and ratemaking purposes (BP-029).
• Net Revenues (Gross Revenues excluding capacity fees and after payment of Operations and
Maintenance (0&M) Costs) plus Tax Revenues are to be at least 125% of debt service in a fiscal
year (bond covenants).
• 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 (2018 covenant).
Table 15 identifies estimated values for each category of revenue and expense and overall funding
balances based on Central San's current budget and the assumptions noted previously.

Budget Modifications and Contributions to Key Priorities
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 2022-23 is $7.1 million, reflecting
an 10.8% decrease from prior year's budget. The budget decrease is attributable to an assumed
vacancy factor of 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
an increase due to the limited duration of a Human Resources Analyst. 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 $500,000 for Accrued Compensated Absences Expenses and $600,000
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 "Unfunded Liability Contributions") 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 2022-23, the total estimated cost of retiree health premiums is
approximately$4.6 million, reflecting a 7.4% increase from the approximate $4.3 million budgeted
in the prior year. However, given the strong funded position of Central San's OPEB Plan, budgeted
OPEB costs are once again proposed to be capped at the ADC, which has remained relatively low
(?)at $3.3 million in FY 2022-23. OPEB costs are "capped" as any costs above the ADC ceiling are
eligible for reimbursement from the OPEB trust.
• Unfunded Liability Contributions 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 $1.3 million higher than the ADC in FY 2022-23. Accordingly, there is no required
OPEB trust payment to fully satisfy the ADC in FY 2022-23. Despite this same condition existing last
year, the prior year's budget still included a $1.25 million supplemental trust contribution to be
May 26, 2022 Special Board Meeting Agenda PacketlioRage 212 of 532
Page 106 of 358
directed towards either pension or OPEB at the discretion of the Board, which was subsequently
directed to the OPEB trust by the Board. Given that the most recent GASB 75 OPEB actuarial report
showed OPEB Plan's funded status was 99.16% on a market valuation basis as of June 30, 2021, and
in consideration other budget priorities and cost pressures, an additional trust contribution is not
included in the
FY 2022-23 budget.
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 2022-23 budget assumes a 3.0%vacancy factor, consistent with 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 year, the Administration Department continued to provide its operations and services
while complying with evolving County and State health orders as the COVID-19 pandemic continued
into a second year. Many Administration Department staff teleworked during the pandemic
continuing through FY 2021-22 to accomplish their responsibilities.
In FY 2020-21, much of the work under the Office of the Director of Finance &Administration related
to completing the replacement of the enterprise resource planning (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. During
FY 2021-22, staff continued to work through the issues to optimize and make the best use of the new
system. Information Technology and Engineering staff continued to support the implementation of a
new permitting system, which is now scheduled to go-live during FY 2022-23. A June 2021 debt
offering for capital projects allowed funds to be freed up and used to pay down the outstanding
pension liability of$70.8 million. COVID-19 related cost impacts have been tracked for applying for
reimbursements from Federal and State funds. Nearly$1 million was obtained from an October 2021
application for special district funding from the State; additional funds are expected to be received
from a Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) application at the end of the pandemic. This
office now also oversees the coordination of Strategic Planning efforts as well as the Benchmarking
Study.
To avoid duplicative material, the FY 2021-22 Strategic Accomplishments and performance against the
key metrics, as well as the FY 2022-23 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.

weaknesses or significant deficiencies in internal controls as part of the annual
financial audit.
GOAL INNOVATION AND OPTIMIZATION/AGILITY AND ADAPTABILITY
• Completed the budget process utilizing new Enterprise Performance Management
(EPM) software.
• Rolled out user-friendly online budget monitoring tool through Oracle Planning
Budgeting Cloud Service (PBCS) for managers/budgeteers to monitor their
divisional detail budgets.
• Utilized Oracle integrated Smart-View reporting technology to develop ACFR
financials for first time.
• Continued ongoing optimization and improvement of the recently implemented
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 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 employees.

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.
The Finance Division Operating Budget for FY 2022-23 is $2.0 million, an increase of 11.2%from the
prior year budget. Salaries & Wages increased includes agency-wide cost-of-living adjustment as well
as any step advancements employees may be eligible for. The Other Expenses category saw a
significant increase due to budgeting of credit card and online fees associated with payments. Central
San saw an increased use of credit card and online payments due to the ongoing pandemic.

Budget Modifications and Contributions to Key Priorities
The Purchasing and Materials Services Division strives to address the overall challenges facing Central
San by working to ensure there is sufficient procurement processing capacity in light of increased
contracting for infrastructure needs. During FY 2021-22, the Purchasing and Materials Services Division
continued to refine newly implemented purchasing and inventory modules of the new ERP system,
which is anticipated to significantly improve contract management and automated procurement
functionality, in addition to providing staff with better tools for productivity and internal customer
service.
The Purchasing and Materials Services Division Operating Budget for FY 2022-23 is $1.9 million, which
represents an increase of 6.5% over the prior year budget. Salaries & Wages include the agency-wide
cost-of-living adjustment as well as assumed merit increases for any eligible employees. The
FY 2022-23 budget also includes two temporary workers in the inventory warehouse and an
Administrative Services Assistant to help alleviate the temporary expanded workload arising from
several new initiatives. Pursuant to a classification study completed in FY 2021-22, Buyers were
reclassified to Contract and Procurement Specialists, better reflecting their roles and responsibilities.
Additionally, in FY 2022-23 the budget incorporates the deletion of one of those positions, and the
addition of a new Lead Contract and Procurement Specialist, intended to improve the operational
structure and processes. New initiatives for which the additional resources are needed, include:
ongoing troubleshooting and refining of the new ERP and higher volume of inventory management
needs arising from the solids handling capital project.

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 2022-23 is $1.3 million, reflecting an increase
of 18.6%from the prior year's budget. The increase in Purchased Property Services is attributable to
the increase in budgeted security services by adding one additional security guard and extending 24/7
security monitoring services to address heightened security concerns along Central San's Treatment
Plant perimeter. The increase in Supplies and Materials is attributable to the expanding radio station
system with East Bay Regional Communications System Authority.

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, Planning and Development Services Divisions and the Resource Recovery
Program. Staff from these divisions also 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 service for Central San's customers
including the permit counter, development inspections, design and construction of infrastructure
projects, operating the Household Hazardous Waste Collection Facility (HHWCF), 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, household hazardous waste, and pharmaceutical collection programs. This
office was responsible for replacing or rehabilitating over six miles of pipes in Danville, Walnut Creek,
Lafayette, Martinez, Pleasant Hill, and Orinda with a 100% customer satisfaction rating (as of March
31, 2022); constructing major renovations at various Pumping Stations in Orinda and Moraga and
Central San's Recycled Water Filter Plant; in addition to completing other projects, such as the Outfall
Renovation project, and Safety Phase 5, which added external emergency exit stairs outside Central
San's four-story Solids Conditioning Building at the treatment plant; and striving to prevent hazardous
waste from entering local waterways through collection at the HHWCF. 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 2021-22 Strategic Accomplishments and performance against the key metrics, as well as the
FY 2022-23 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, except for 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
Engineering and Technical Services and manages recycled water projects which enable Central San to
help augment the region's water supply through partnering opportunities and expansion of recycled
water use, reducing reliance on non-renewable energy through cost-effective alternative methods

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 costs for staff in this division are
charged to the projects that the group oversees and manages. The Capital Projects Division budget for
FY 2022-23 is $0.9 million, reflecting a 3,216.9% 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
May 26, 2022 Special Board Meeting Agenda Packet13eage 245 of 532
Page 139 of 358
primary driver for this division's overall budgeting decrease is the noteworthy increase in time
expected to be charged to the CIB in FY 2022-23 compared to the prior year. Overall, the projection of
capitalized labor to total labor of Central San is increasing from 15.7%to 18.3% or a 2.6% increase. As
the bulk of capitalized labor is attributed to the Capital Projects division and increase in the capitalized
admin overhead credit results in the division's budget being negative (revenue to the 0&M fund).

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 Division Operating Budget for FY 2022-23 is $8.9
million, a 10.6% increase over the prior year's budget. Salaries and Wages include the agency-wide
cost-of-living adjustment and increases due to step advancements. Purchased Property Services are
projected to increase due to an increase in hazardous waste hauling and disposal following full opening
of Central San's reuse room as well as an accompanying increase in cleaning services for uniform
services. The increase in technical services is primarily attributable to the addition of an as needed
contract for health and risk assessments and other new requirements related to the new BAAQMD rule
11-18.

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 2022-23 is $6.2 million, reflecting an
increase of approximately 5.9%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. Salaries
and Wages also reflects an increase due an additional full-time employee in the permit counter and the
transfer of an Administrative Assistant position from the Office of General Manager's budget for
support in the lobby and permit counter area. Other Purchased Services increased due to the
implementation of new billing software for the permit counter, other software development for GIS,

Budget Modifications and Contributions to Key Priorities
The Plant Operations Division provides Central San staff with 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 2022-23 is $14.9 million, reflecting a significant increase of$2.5
million or 20.4% increase over the $12.4 million budgeted in FY 2021-22. This increase is largely
attributable to increases in the Utilities & Fuel and Chemicals categories. The budgeted increase in
Utilities & Fuel pertains to volatility in energy and gas prices driven by inflation, supply chain issues
May 26, 2022 Special Board Meeting Agenda Packed-617age 276 of 532
Page 170 of 358
arising from the pandemic, as well as the Russia-Ukraine crisis. The budgeted increase in Chemicals is
attributable to commodity price increases in polymer, lime, and hypochlorite which are increasing for
similar reasons as utilities and fuel. The Purchased Property Services category overall increased due to
Hauling and Disposal services costs. Labor costs overall are largely increasing due to the cost-of-living
adjustment and merit increases for eligible 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).

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 2022-23 is $1.7 million, reflecting an increase of
5.4% 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 2022-23, 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 increase in budgeted costs for
FY 2022-23, 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$445,000 is allocated entirely to Operations and Maintenance
(0&M). Furthermore, the $3,095,537 City of Concord Reimbursement is contained within and split
between the total 0&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).
No Satellite Reimbursements are budgeted in
FY 2022-23. 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 2022-23
SIF Budget. The SIF revenue for FY 2022-23 is projected to be just over $1.7 million and expenses are
projected to be just under $2.2 million, a difference of approximately$0.4 million, which will be drawn
down from the closing projected reserve balance at June 30, 2022, to result in projected closing net SIF
reserve of$9,000,000 on June 30, 2023. The budgeted revenues include a direct allocation of just
under$1.7 million of Sewer Service Charge Revenue. Prior to FY 2021-22, allocations to Self-Insurance
were routed through the Operations and Maintenance (0&M) Fund to the SIF. However, that
approach caused the reported aggregate budgets to overcount this allocation, which was included as
an "expenditure" in the O&M fund, while the SIF also showed expenditures. Allocating Sewer Service
Charge directly to the SIF 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 exceeding 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.
May 26, 2022 Special Board Meeting Agenda Packetl7Rage 284 of 532
Page 178 of 358
Table 2 shows budgeted revenue for FY 2022-23 of$9,400 with expenses of$755,000, resulting in
expenses exceeding revenues by$745,600. This difference will be transferred from Sub-Fund C 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.
Until FY 2021-22, this reserve was set at $5.0 million. During FY 2021-22, the Board increased the
targeted level to $7.5 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 2022-23 of$1,725,101 with total expenses of$1,415,000,
resulting in revenues exceeding expenses by $310,101. FY 2022-23 revenues includes an allocation of
Sewer Service Charge of$1,662,101, which the amount necessary to close FY 2022-23 with the
minimum policy-specified level of reserves of$7.5 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.

Page 186 of 358
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 planned
for FY 2022-23. Additionally, Central San is exploring a debt issuance which may be used to fund a
portion of the FY 2022-23 CIB. If this debt issuance proceeds, a budget amentment for FY 2022-23 is
anticipated.

Capital Improvement Budget Project Prioritization
The projects included in the FY 2022-23 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 ;

Project Criticality Ranking
In addition, all projects for FY 2022-23 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
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.

Page 191 of 358
• 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 2021-22 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 maintenance access holes, 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 8.0
miles of upcoming sewer replacement this fiscal year and coordinated the projects with city paving
programs and other utilities throughout the service area.
Sewer Replacement in a Residential Neighborhood and Aerial Creek Crossing
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 Phase 1A 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 winter of 2022-23 with construction completion in 2025.
Safety projects include construction of the Emergency External Stairway for the Solids Conditioning
Building, which provides for employee safety for emergency egress.
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 and should be completed this fiscal year. The construction for the Flush Kleen
Pumping Station was completed last fiscal year.
May 26, 2022 Special Board Meeting Agenda Packed-gBage 299 of 532
Page 193 of 358
• Pump Station Upgrades— Phase 2: The construction will begin for the needed electrical and
mechanical equipment replacements at the Martinez, Maltby, and Fairview Pumping Stations.
Construction is expected to begin in late FY 2022-23. The construction of the pumping stations
may likely include additional phasing due to scope and to attract more bidders.
• Filter Plant and Clearwell Improvements—Phase 1A: 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 is well underway and is
expected to be completed this fiscal year.
• Steam and Aeration Blower Systems Renovation: Condition assessments are completed for the
steam and heat recovery systems at the treatment plant and several other areas in the aeration
system, as well as the associated electrical systems. Several projects have been identified as a
result and will be implemented in phases over time. The construction of the first phase, which
consisted of the installation of three electric blowers, is scheduled to be completed this fiscal year.
The second phase focused on the Aeration System is under design 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 Renovation, respectively.
• Solids Handling Facility Improvements:Three related solids projects were 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
(completed), and the Contractor Staging Improvements (nearing completion). The Solids Phase 1A
Project construction contract is expected to be awarded in FY 2022-23 as the main project was
downsized to only include the most critical items.
• Projects completed: Several projects are completed and will be closed this Fiscal Year and will no
longer be represented in the CIB. 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, as shown below by program:

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 2 has started this year and its budget will be used
to fund the construction of the Walnut Creek Sewer Renovation— Phase 16, South Orinda Sewer
Renovation — Phase 9, and Lafayette Sewer Renovation— Phase 15, as well as future design and
construction budgets to Fiscal Year 2026-27.
• 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 - Electric Blower Improvements
b. Phase 2 -Aeration Basins Diffuser Replacement and Seismic Upgrades
c. Phase 3 -Secondary Clarifier Improvements
d. Phase 4 - Steam System Renovation Phase 1 and Phase 2 Projects
• The Filter Plant & Clearwell Improvements Phase 113 in the Recycled Water Program will be phased
to include the Electrical renovation required at the Filter Plant Facility as a separate project due to
the urgency of replacing electrical assets.
• The Pumping Station Upgrades Phase 2 in the Collection System Program will be split or slightly
phased based on the scope of work and to receive additional contractor interest. The new pumping
stations for Fairview and Maltby will be packaged and bid together and the electrical renovation
work at Martinez will be bid separately.
Modification of Scope or Budget:
• The Solids Handling Facility Improvements Phase 1 in the Treatment Plant Program was bid last
fiscal year and the project has been re-evaluated and scope reduced to include the most critical
items under the project. The project budget has decreased by approximately $48 Million and the
new scope, renamed to Phase 1A, will include new wet scrubbers, dewatering and cake pumps,
incinerator burners, and associated electrical and controls to those systems.
Renaming Projects:
• The Manhole Modification project in the Collection System Program has been renamed to
"Maintenance Access Cover Modifications".
• The Treatment Plant Safety Enhancements Phase 5 has been renamed to the "Treatment Plant
Safety Enhancement Program" to account for a yearly allowance and budget for safety
improvements throughout the treatment plant.
Projects not included in FY 2021-22 CIB and initiated as contingency projects:
• Orinda — Moraga PS Architectural Improvements was initiated as a result of the Pumping Station
Upgrades Phase 1 construction. Improvements to the aesthetics of the Orinda Crossroads and
Moraga Pumping Stations is needed.
• The Community Development System Replacement and Solar Project on Lagiss Property were
included in Fiscal Year 2021-22.

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

Capital Improvement Budget - Collection System Program
The following are the major points of emphasis for the FY 2022-23 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 financing 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:
• Reduction of impacts to customers/residents and communities.
• Results from Central San's InfoMaster° model and InfoAssets°, which is an advanced geographic
information system (GIS) 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 16 255
Purpose:
To assess the condition of large diameter trunks and interceptors Project
and confirm the timing for renovation needs. Aging Capacity
Infrastructure
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

Collection System Planning 33 185
Purpose:
To assess the condition of force mains and confirm the timing for Project
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 pumping stations have a lower risk and will be inspected in the future

Description:
'1
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 must 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 pumping stations.

Capital Improvement Budget - Treatment Plant Program
The following are the major points of emphasis for the FY 2022-23 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 Influent Pump Electrical Improvements, Electric Blower
Improvements, and Piping Renovation Phase 10, 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,
Phase 1A, which includes solids dewatering equipment replacement (feed pumps, centrifuges, cake
pumps), wet scrubber, as well as associated electrical, instrumentations, and incinerator controls
improvements.
The final design of the Ultraviolet (UV) Disinfection System Improvements will begin and has been
merged with the UV Hydraulic Improvement Project.
The Steam and Aeration Blower Systems Renovations (Steam Project) has concluded its condition
assessment of the 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 final design of the Steam
System Improvements.
Other aging infrastructure projects include the Laboratory Roof& Seismic Upgrades Project, 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, Phase 1A Project.
Safety and security improvements will continue under this subprogram. The Solids Conditioning
Building and multiple hearth furnaces are being re-evaluated. The design of the UV Disinfection
System Improvements will be implemented to make sure the treatment plant can reliably meet the
May 26, 2022 Special Board Meeting Agenda Packet2213age 338 of 532
Page 232 of 358
disinfection National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) effluent permit requirements.
The existing activated sludge process, which includes the aeration basins, continues to be evaluated
and improvements to the aeration diffusers are planned soon. New diffuser systems will help provide
oxygen to the biological system to ensure adequate oxygen transfer for a more reliable process.
Capacity(Expansion Projects)
There are no projects in FY 2022-23 that include expansion of the treatment plant. However, there
are projects such as the UV Disinfection Replacement, Hydraulic Improvements, and the Aeration
Diffuser 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 Walnut Creek/Grayson Creek Levee Rehab and Wet Weather Basin
Improvements will address climate change and flooding concerns while the Air Conditioning and
Lighting Project will replace equipment in poor condition with high efficiency models to save energy.

Purpose: I Project Drivers
To implement applied research projects that evaluate promising
technologies, processes, and innovations. Aging Capacity
Infrastructure P y
Drivers:
One of Central San's goals is to embrace innovation and part of its Regulatory Sustainability
vision is to be a leader in the wastewater industry. There are
several emerging and innovative nutrient removal,
disinfection, and solids handling technologies that may offer
significant savings and reduced footprint requirements when I
compared to conventional technologies. Innovations in y
equipment and instrumentation that may be beneficial will -,
be considered. I I
Prior to implementing any major renovations for nutrient
removal or converting solids handling technologies, staff will
evaluate the feasibility of emerging technologies and - 1—
implement applied research pilots. These pilots will help
verify the compatibility with wastewater and facilities, increase understanding of the technology, and
help determine whether to consider the technology.
Description:
This project includes techno-economic evaluations and possible pilot testing of tertiary membrane
nutrient removal technologies such as membrane aerated bioreactors (MABR), aerobic granular sludge
(AGS), and other promising technologies. This project also funds the purchase of research equipment
required for on-site field evaluations, optimizations, bench and pilot tests, and includes replacement of
an existing 25+year-old trailer with a new trailer to support ongoing applied research efforts.

Influent Pump Electrical Improvements — District Pro'ect 7328
iPriority Rank Ranking Score
Treatment Plant Construction 2 330
Purpose:
To address aging electrical components of the influent pumps and Project Drivers
improve reliability. Aging Capacity
Infrastructure P Y
Drivers:
The Influent Pump Facility is critical to operations. During wet Regulatory Sustainability
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 i
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' programmable logic controllers (PLCs) and I
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.
• Adding submersible sump pump and wet well isolation gates (bid alternate) for flooding protection.

Walnut Creek/Grayson Creek Levee Rehab — District Project 7341
Program Phase Priority Rank Ranking Score
Treatment Plant Design/Construction 51 150
Purpose:
To reduce the risk of flood damage to the treatment plant by Project Drivers
raising levees through a project led by the Contra Costa County Aging Capacity
Flood Control and Water Conservation District (FCD). Infrastructure
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.
Staff will continue to evaluate in-kind financial contributions.

Steam and Aeration Blower Systems Renovations — District Project 7349
Program Phase Priority Rank Ranking Score
Treatment Plant Planning/Design 20 225
Purpose:
To evaluate the existing steam system, waste heat recovery, steam Project
turbines, electrical power distribution system, and secondary treatment Aging
systems, and to plan and preliminary design of future projects. Infrastructure Capacity
Drivers:
Central San's energy recovery system uses waste heat from the Regulatory Sustainability
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. r
Although it is advantageous to recover waste heat for producing r'
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.
1 �
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 electric blowers to supplement and/or replace the existing electric
blower(Currently in construction under DP 10015).
• Evaluate modifications to existing aeration tanks and the activated sludge system, including the hydraulics
(Currently in design under new project DP 100019).
• Evaluate modifications to existing secondary clarifiers and associated return-activated sludge and waste-
activated sludge feed systems (New project this year).
• Determine impact from Refinery Recycled Water Exchange Project that would produce high quality recycled

Program Phase Priority Rank Ranking Score
Treatment Plant Design/Construction 61 130
Purpose:
ject Drivers
To install new instrumentation for improved monitoring, control, '
and optimization of Central San facilities. Aging capacity
Infrastructure
Drivers:
Collecting and leveraging data is becoming increasingly useful for Regulatory Sustainability
wastewater operations, design, and optimization. As Central San
considers future equipment upgrades, potential nutrient removal,
and solids handling technologies, it is important to collect data -that will be useful for the evaluation and design of those facilities.
There are also return streams that Central San has limited data
for but could be helpful when evaluating future needs. In the
meantime, there are opportunities to optimize existing processes — _
and possibly reduce operations and maintenance costs; however,
key instruments are required to evaluate these opportunities.
Energy management and efficiency measures are crucial elements when striving towards net zero
energy. Power meters installed at the motor control centers and key equipment can be useful for
identifying optimization opportunities. The concept of"big data" is becoming increasingly popular and
is aimed at leveraging data to analyze trends to predict how a given process will perform in the future
and proactively adjust. This project will likely be constructed with other treatment plant projects.
Description:
The following elements are included in the project:
• Develop instrumentation upgrades strategy and phasing plan.
• Install flow meters for improved monitoring of return streams.
• Install power meters for motor control centers and key equipment.
• Install air flow meters for tracking channel aeration demands.
• Install other miscellaneous instruments for improved process monitoring, control, and

Treatment Plant Design/Construction 30 190
Purpose: Project Drivers
To replace the existing aeration tanks' diffusers to increase
aeration system performance and optimize the activated sludge Aging Capacity
process.
Infrastructure P y
Drivers: Regulatory Sustainability
Recently, the existing aeration system has not been able to reliably
maintain desired dissolved oxygen levels across the basins. This
has contributed to a steady deterioration (increase) in sludge
volume index (SVI), which is a key secondary process operational
parameter for activated sludge settleability and compaction. The M;
increase in the SVI has in turn, led to concerns over the ability to
consistently meet NPDES discharge limitations. While Central San -_
continues to meet NPDES discharge permit limits, further
deterioration in performance of the aeration system will cause
more challenges over time, which also leads to poor settleability in
the secondary clarifiers and impacts the performance of the UV
disinfection system.
Description:
This project will include mechanical rehabilitation/replacement, concrete repairs, and structural
seismic improvements to prolong the remaining useful life of the aeration basins and diffuser systems.
Replace all diffusers and some of the air piping, reconfigure the aeration basins (A/N Tanks) to
maximize the use of unused channels to optimize the activated sludge process using available volume
and tankages as well as upgrading instrumentation and controls to improve air flow distribution. In
addition, the large aeration underground valves will be replaced, which will allow for inspection of the
aeration headers at a future time. The valve replacement will also include a concrete structure box to
allow for access and maintenance.

To reduce the risk of flood damage to the treatment plant by
improving the wet weather basins, berms, and levees. Aging Capacity
Infrastructure P y
Drivers:
The treatment plant uses a series of earthen basins that are used Regulatory Sustainability
as temporary storage. During extreme wet weather events,
bypassing operations are limited by a common bypass pipeline
used to divert primary effluent and/or raw screened influent to
the wet weather holding basins. When flow exceeds the
treatment hydraulic capacity of downstream processes, it must be
diverted to these basins. These basins must remain in good" 'Y t: L A
working order to avoid limiting the flexibility and handling of wet
weather flows. There are no other options than conveying -
wastewater to the holding basins. ALAa
tiuuti
Description: >
Due to the critical nature of the treatment plant facilities, aNr
reliable wet weather basins system is critical as plant operations
divert screened sewer and primary effluent when the downstream capacity is exceeded. The diverted
flow that is temporarily stored in the wet weather basins is then returned to the head of the plant for
treatment when the capacity is available.
• Holding Basin Improvements - improve holding basin grading, drainage, and capacity.

Electrical Infrastructure Sub 90 — District Project TBD
Program Phase Priority Rank Ranking Score
Treatment Plant Planning TBD TBD
Purpose:
Plant-wide electrical optimization to address resiliency,
vulnerability, capacity, and future safety concerns. Aging
Drivers:
Infrastructure Capacity
The treatment plant consists of thousands of electrical assets. The
existing 12kV system feeder is the backbone of the plant (12kV is Regulatory Sustainability
considered "medium-voltage"). Critical medium-voltage feeders
should have redundancy in protection, distribution, and
transformers. Such components are typically not available off
the shelf, and for emergencies. Due to the high energies
involved, failures have the potential to be wide reaching, and
recovery takes longer due to limited availability of replacement 7-
equipment and the specialized nature of the work. While the
existing 12 kV system is functional, the overall architecture in
some cases falls short of today's industry best practices.
Description:
A new 12kV system has been conceived, known as Substation 90
(Sub 90) that will optimize the plant's electrical architecture. Sub 90 will provide a structure that will
serve as the origin for most 12kV feeders. From a safety standpoint, Sub 90 will offer a means for true
12kV redundancy, ability to electrically isolate, and updated safety features. It will also offer a means
to de-ernergize equipment so that workers can safely enter vaults/manholes. The Sub 90 and
associated infrastucture will serve the plant's current and future electrical loads for projects like the UV
disinfection replacement, Solids Project Phase 2, and replacements of any substation.
Staff will assess industry best practices and emphasize on the following areas: 1) Redundancy—where
any single component or feeder failure will not render critical systems inoperative; 2) Ability to isolate
—this allows for de-energization of equipment; testing, planned maintenance and replacements, and
emergency work can be done on electrically isolated and deenergized systems; 3) Protection —
inclusion of appropriate circuit breakers and protective relaying; and 4) Safe switching— Interlocks are
automated, and result in logical and safe switching between sources.

Infrastructure p y
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 EVs will be
1 .
the future in California. Having the ability to charge 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.

Purpose: Project Drivers
Provide for the capitalization of a response plan to safely bring
staff back to the office post-pandemic in the workplace. Aging Capacity
Infrastructure p y
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, -.f—
share ideas and information. In contrast, returning to the F
workplace now means that we need to find new ways to bring
people together, while simultaneously providing the capability to
keep them apart safely and responsibly. As the pandemic has r
turned conventional thinking on workplace design inside-out,
previously normative approaches to space per person, ratios of y
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

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, the Veranda
shopping center, and the city of Pleasant Hill, including
their new library. Ultimately, Central San will deliver
1.5 million gallons per day for irrigation use in the Zone
1 area. Central San will continue to collaborate with
local water purveyors to identify cost-effective t f
landscape irrigation and industrial recycled water
projects.
Central San currently produces over 500 million gallons
of recycled water per year for use at the treatment
plant site, by irrigation customers, and for a range of
commercial uses. Over 200 million gallons per year of
recycled water is provided to a variety of customers
in the city of Pleasant Hill, the city of Concord, and
,r
businesses near Central San's treatment plant in
Martinez. Recycled water is used for landscape ---w
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.

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 2022 - FY 2032)
OVERVIEW
Central San has developed a Ten-Year Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) for capital facilities and financing
needs. The Ten-Year CIP covers the period starting on July 1, 2022, and ending June 30, 2032. 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 2022-2024):
• 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 $1,135,673,000.
May 26, 2022 Special Board Meeting Agenda Packep-qRage 400 of 532
Page 294 of 358
Ten-Year Capital Improvement Plan Budget Process
The Ten-Year CIP assumes that funds will be available to support the plan. For FY 2022-23, 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 used to
fund the Solids Handling Facility Improvements Project from FY 2021-22 through FY 2025-26.
Two other debt offerings are currently assumed in the ten-year financial plan. A bond offering for
June 2022 may substantially fund the portion of the FY 2022-23 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. 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.
May 26, 2022 Special Board Meeting Agenda Packet-geage 401 of 532
Page 295 of 358
• 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 $900.0 million, of which approximately$470.0 million
may be within the next twenty years. These projects include the following:
• Nutrient Removal (Nutrient Watershed Permit)**
• 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° was updated to InfoAssets° program which 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 is determined using factors such as pipeline size, flow conditions, and proximity to waterways,
May 26, 2022 Special Board Meeting Agenda Packep-gRage 402 of 532
Page 296 of 358
hospitals, schools, and roads. The overall risk of each segment is based on the likelihood of failure and
consequence of failure scores, and a decision matrix developed through workshops with staff were
used to prioritize the replacement of each pipe segment. InfoAssets° 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. In June 2021, Central San (through its Financing Authority) issued $50.8 million of par
value in certificates of participation to generate $58 million in proceeds (inclusive of issuance
premium) for the capital program for FY 2020-21 and FY 2021-22. This issuance freed up reserve funds
that would have been used for the capital program, which instead were used to pay off the pension
unfunded actuarially accrued liability. During FY 2021-22, Central San also finalized a loan agreement
with the State Revolving Fund (SRF) for a loan up to $173.4 million for Phase 1 of the Solids Handling
Facility Improvements Project. Repayment would not commence until the completion of the project.
Accordingly, a debt service schedule is not included in this document.
Central San's debt service is presently funded by property taxes and investment income. Debt service
is projected at $13.3 million, an increase of$0.4 million from the prior year's budget of$12.9 million,
as amended. 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
May 26, 2022 Special Board Meeting Agenda Packet3fll7age 416 of 532
Page 310 of 358
through eliminating a debt service reserve fund that was previously held for the 2009 bonds.
The 2018 Revenue Bonds have a revised rate covenant as compared to the 2009 bonds, providing for a
Net Revenues Covenant and a Gross Revenues Covenant.
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.
2021 Certificates of Participation
In June 2021, Central San issued (through its Facilities Financing Authority) $50.8 million of par value
certificates of participation, with $58 million in proceeds (inclusive of issuance premium) used to fund
a portion of the capital program for FY 2020-21 and FY 2021-22. The transaction was undertaken in
connection with a plan to pay off the pension unfunded actuarially accrued liability. Funds that were
to be used to fund the capital program, with the addition of$12 million of funds in the pension
prefunding trust, were used to pay down the $70.8 million pension liability. This transaction is
anticipated to result in about $15 million of net cost savings. As a result of this transaction, a budget
amendment was adopted by the Board in August 2021 that included changes to the O&M, Debt
Service, and Sewer Construction funds. These amendments have been reflected in the FY 2021-22
budget figures used in this document. The 2021 Certificates of Participation provide for the same Net
Revenues and Gross Revenues pledge as noted above for the 2018 Revenue Bonds.
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.
In December 2018, Central San applied for an $89.6 million loan through a competitive process with
the California State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB) to fund solids handling improvements to
the treatment plant. Central San's project was selected as part of the Intended Use Plan for 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. A loan agreement was finalized in 2021. In
September 2021, the Board determined that a change in direction in the Solids Handling Project was
warranted given higher than anticipated costs for the project plan that had been provided for up to
that point. Instead, the current plan is to conduct less extensive work on the existing solids handling
process and accelerate elements of the longer-term plan for solids handling involving digestion.
Planning work for this revised plan is underway. The anticipated impact of this change on the
approved SRF loan is that the District will draw a lesser amount for work within that application's
approved project scope. No draws have yet been made on this loan facility as of May 2022. Funding
for the remaining Solids Handling Project work outside of that scope will be funded from other sources.

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.

obligations.

Debt Related Covenants
An important financial performance metric is the Debt Service Coverage Ratio. The Board's targeted
coverage ratio is 2.0 times. As shown in Figure 2, recent measures are far above this requirement.
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 other post-employment benefits (OPEB) adjustment ($30.4 million) from the transition to the
CalPERS healthcare plan. Debt coverage following the "Net Revenue Covenant" (lower of the two
methods) is projected to be 6.92 and 5.97 for FY 2021-22 and FY 2022-23 respectively.

As noted previously, the calculation 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 Refunding Bonds and 2021 Certificates of Participation have the
following covenants:
• Net Revenues Covenant: Net revenues (gross revenues excluding capacity fees and after payment
of O&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 2021 (and previously in 1994 and 2002), Central San financed a portion of its capital
improvements using a Facilities Financing Authority, a form of 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 2022-23 through the finalized
loan from the California SWRCB for Phase 1 of the Solids Handling Facility Improvements Project. This
financing, and other financing currently anticipated within the 10-year financial planning horizon, is
forecast to be 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:
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.
May 26, 2022 Special Board Meeting Agenda Packe13lRage 420 of 532
Page 314 of 358
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.

BudgetTerms and Definitions Used in the Document
Encumbrance The obligated and unspent portion of a contingent liability established through a purchase order that
is chargeable to an account. It ceases to be an encumbrance when it is paid by the recording of an
invoice, or a reduction of the purchase order's outstanding balance occurs.

Enterprise Fund activities in a consolidated enterprise fund in its annual financial statements. In governmental
accounting,an enterprise fund is a type of proprietary fund used to report self-sustaining activities
that derive the major portion of its revenue from user fees charged to external users for goods or
services. For financial reporting purposes, Enterprise funds use the economic resources
measurement focus and accrual basis of accounting used for private-sector business enterprises and
not-for-profit organizations. This contrasts from "governmental funds"used by cities and counties,
which use the current financial resources measurement focus and modified accrual basis of
accounting. Central San uses one enterprise fund with four"sub-funds" (see below)to facilitate
improved internal budgeting and accounting.
Expenditure The payment of an obligation from Central San's cash amounts.
Facility Capacity See Capacity Fee above.

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

BudgetTerms and Definitions Used in the Document
Supplies& Category of expenses at the highest"grandparent" roll-up level for financial and budgetary
Materials reporting purposes in the new chart of accounts. Includes amounts paid for items that are
consumed or deteriorated through use or lose their identity through fabrication or incorporation
into different or more complex units or substances. Includes"parent" roll-up expense categories
such as: utilities&fuel,chemicals,and general supplies.
Unfunded The difference between the actuarial accrued liability and the actuarial value of assets accumulated
Actuarial Accrued to finance that obligation. This is a term used in connection with pension plans or commitments to
Liability(UAAL) provide other post-employment benefits(OPEB)to employees.
Unfunded Liability Liability that has been incurred during the current or a prior year,that does not have to be 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. Generally calculated as current assets less current liabilities,with some exceptions.
Working Capital The amount of working capital deemed to be unrestricted and liquid to meet current demands.
Reserves 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 for the 0&M,Sewer
Construction,and Self-Insurance funds 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 its 0&M
Reserve Target and Sewer Construction Funds. These policy targets are adjusted annually as part of the budget
adoption process and are based on each fund's respective operating budget as follows:
• O&M Fund—Five months(41.7%)of gross operating expenses at the start of each fiscal
year.
• Sewer Construction Fund—One half(50%)of the annual Capital Improvement Budget at
the start of each fiscal year,excluding capital projects that are to be funded with debt
proceeds.
The working capital reserve target is used in the 10-year planning process as the amount net
liquidity that is needed on June 30 of any fiscal year to meet cash flow needs through mid-
December,when the first sewer service charge and property tax payments are received from
Contra Costa County. At the entity-wide aggregate level this includes working capital reserves of
the O&M and Sewer Construction funds but excludes restricted balances held in the Self-Insurance
and Debt Service funds.
