FINANCIAL PLANNING
1) Annual Notices Sent to Reimbursement Account Holders
Central San provides a reimbursement program so that costs of mainline sewer
extensions paid for by one or more property owners can be shared among all benefitting
property owners who connect directly to the project sewer. Each year, in accordance with
District Code, annual notices are mailed to the holders of reimbursement accounts
(installers). This year, a total of 66 annual notices were mailed on October 14, 2022.
Installers were reminded of the need to keep Central San informed of any change of
address.
Installers were asked to update their information and return the notice to Central San in
the prepaid envelopes provided. Having current address information will enable staff to
notify Installers when reimbursement fees are collected on their behalf. Installers were
also informed of the expiration dates of their accounts. Staff will continue to make
reasonable efforts to locate installers for whom we do not have current contact
information.
NATURAL GAS PURCHASE
2) Natural Gas Agreement to Purchase
On December 2, 2021, the Board authorized the General Manager to agree to purchase
natural gas (NG) through 2024 with a $7.00 per dekatherm limit. Staff has agreed to
purchase 333 dekatherms per day at $6.88 per dekatherm for November 2022 to
December of 2023. This is the third agreed-to-purchase amount for 2023.
RECYCLED WATER
3) Central San Welcomes New Recycled Water Customers in Zone 1
Staff is pleased to announce that Central San's Zone 1 Recycled Water Distribution
System is now serving three new customers, increasing the total number of Zone 1
customer connections to 56. In the last six months, Central San successfully completed
inspection and testing, and is now serving recycled water for landscape irrigation to Sage
Veterinary Clinic in Concord, Concord Mazda, and the newly opened Pleasant Hill Library.
Attachment 2 provides a representation of the three new businesses.

5) Central San Welcomes New Maintenance Crew Member Zachary Martin
Zachary (Zach) Martin joined Central San on September 12, 2022, and had worked for
Morgan-Bonanno Development for the last 12 years in various capacities. His most recent
position at Morgan-Bonanno was as a Paving Foreman. Prior to that, he was a self-
employed painter and a sheet rocker. The Collection System Operations (CSO) Division
feels his construction experience will support its goal of building a stronger CSO. We are
excited to have him fully trained in all CSO sections and believe he will be a great asset to
CSO and the District. Please join us in welcoming Zach Martin to Central San.
6) Central San Welcomes New Utility Worker Anthony Borges
Anthony Borges also joined Central San on September 12, 2022 as a Utility Worker. He
was born and raised in San Francisco and came to the District as a Mechanical

Laney College, in the Industrial Maintenance Program. He started his career as an
automotive mechanic and after taking a break from the automotive industry for a few
years, as a buyer, he wanted to get back into turning wrenches, landing a job with USPS
as a Maintenance Mechanic. Giving up his job at USPS to come to the District as an
Intern for six months and then working as a temporary employee for almost a year,
Anthony is now a part of the team. He has also obtained his Operator-In-Training
certificate and spends a couple days a week after work volunteering to obtain the hours
needed for his Grade 1 Operator Certificate. With his well-rounded background and his
drive to learn he will be an asset to the District wherever his career goals take him and is
excited about the opportunity to work at the District. In his off time, Anthony enjoys
working on cars and spending time with his wife and four-month-old son. Please join us in
welcoming Anthony Borges to Central San.

PROJECT UPDATES
9) Central San Solar Project Starting Construction
REC Solar/Duke Energy will start construction of the 1.75-megawatt Solar Project on
Central San's Lagiss property at 4451 Blum Road in Martinez by the end of October 2022.
A Blum Road neighborhood notification letter has been mailed to all nearby properties to
inform them of the start of construction, the project schedule, and the Central San contact for
any inquiries/issues. All work on this project is expected to be completed by July 2023. Five
biological surveys conducted this year between February 1 and October 7, 2022, have not
found the presence or evidence of Burrowing Owls (a species of special concern to the
California Department of Fish and Wildlife) on the property. As a result, the project will avoid
the expenditure of several hundred thousand dollars in California Environmental Quality Act
(CEQA) mitigation measures. Once the project is completed, in accordance with Power
Purchase Agreement Amendment No. 2, Central San will purchase solar power from
REC Solar at a rate of $0.9128 per kilowatt-hour.
