Call Meeting to Order Chair Hockett called the meeting to order at 9:00 a.m. 3. Public Comments None. 4. Consent Calendar a. Review draft Position Paper to adopt Resolution No. 2022- accepting an irrevocable offer of dedication for a sanitary sewer easement from HD 134 EI Dorado Member, LLC as related to Job 6730 in Danville and authorizing staff to record documents with the Contra Costa County Clerk-Recorder's Office b. Review draft Position Paper to adopt Resolution No. 2022- to accept a grant of easement from Contra Costa County and to authorize execution of a quitclaim deed to Contra Costa County as both actions are related to Job 6728 at Buchanan Field Airport in the unincorporated area of Concord, and to authorize staff to record documents with Contra Costa County Clerk- Recorder's Office The Committee had no questions. Committee Action: Recommended Board approval. 5. Items for Committee Recommendation to Board a. Review draft Position paper to authorize the General Manager to continue to waive the volumetric fee for commercial recycled water truck fill program for customers up to a limit of 100,000 gallons per year, per customer for calendar years 2023, 2024 and 2025 Mr. Foss discussed the program as outlined in the agenda materials and mentioned they are looking to extend the program for commercial customers for another three years. Member Pilecki asked for clarification about what is included in the commercial truck fill program, such as whether it included the various hydrants for mobile meters. Mr. Foss replied that it does include the entire commercial program, including the Recycled Water Fill Station and meters that are currently checked out. In response to a question posed by Member Pilecki regarding the number of assigned meters, Mr. Foss replied there are approximately five or six meters currently checked out. He added that in the future the department would like to December 1, 2022 Regular Board Meeting Agenda Packet- Page 145 of 157 Page 4 of 6 Real Estate, Environmental & Planning Committee Minutes November 16, 2022 Page 3 review the hydrant program, including recalling those meters not in use and matching what other agencies do for fee rental of meters. Currently there is no charge, but staff is considering assessing a monthly fee for the customers who have checked out a meter and are actually using it as well as a failure to read fee. Member Pilecki requested that this information be added to the report to the Board for their information. Committee Action: Reviewed and recommended Board approval. b. Review draft Position Paper to adopt Resolution No. 2022- (1) authorizing execution of a quitclaim deed-easement to relinquish rights of the Temporary Construction Easement from SFPP, a Delaware limited partnership (Kinder Morgan), related to the "Lagiss property"; (2) accepting the quitclaim deed easement, and (3) authorizing staff to record the documents with the Contra Costa County Clerk-Recorder's Office Ms. Lawson discussed issues with getting the quitclaim through the process even though it was a temporary construction easement, it had been recorded. This clouded the title for the Solar Project on Lagiss property and needed to be resolved before that project could move forward. District Counsel recommended that the document be countersigned to expedite the process. Member Pilecki mentioned that past practice has been to record temporary construction easements that were for more than one year. Normally with a quitclaim deed easement, the property owner does not have to sign, but since this was for three years that is why it was recorded. Information will be passed on to the right-of-way group for future reference. Committee Action: Reviewed and recommended Board approval. 6. Other Items a. Receive update on the most recent meeting of the Bay Area Clean Water Agencies (BACWA) Ms. Schectel updated the Committee on the October 21 BACWA meeting and discussed the materials in the agenda packet. The next BACWA Board meeting is November 18, 2022. The Air District and BACWA workgroup held its quarterly meeting in October. Collaboration, permitting, and staffing, among other items were discussed. An Executive Officer recruitment is in process and the position is expected to be filled soon. December 1, 2022 Regular Board Meeting Agenda Packet- Page 146 of 157 Page 5 of 6 Real Estate, Environmental & Planning Committee Minutes November 16, 2022 Page 4 Nutrients: Direction for the nutrient permit is still a Bay-wide low cap using antidegradation as the basis. Central San is supposed to be below agency specific load caps in the next permit. However, the Regional Board is now talking about long term planning for nutrient reductions due to the recent significant algal bloom. The Water Board wants to know what can be done in the short term as well. The Annual Regional Nutrient Watershed Permit report data is due November 23, 2022 for review and is on track to be released in February 2023 to the Regional Water Board. The renewal effort for the Mercury and PCB Watershed permit is moving along. The draft order was released last month. No real impact for Central San or most other Bay Area Agencies. PCB congeners monitoring was reduced from quarterly to twice a year. Mercury monitoring also went down from monthly to quarterly. Sanitary Sewer Systems Waste Discharge Requirements (SSSWDR): The revised draft was released and a State Water Board workshop was held on Monday. Collection System Operations Division Manager Paul Seitz attended but there were no significant updates to report. The permit is expected to be adopted on December 6, 2022 by the Water Board. Member Pilecki asked if there was a time frame indicated by the Regional Board regarding long-term planning. Ms. Schectel responded that further discussions need to happen with the Water Board in order to forecast nutrient level planning. Committee Action: Received update. b. Receive a periodic update on per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) Staff reviewed the presentation included in the agenda packet and responded to questions posed by the Committee. Committee Action: Received update. C. Receive update on Central San's Net Zero initiative and related activities Ms. LaBella updated the Committee that after initially attempting to get assistance on Net Zero from an existing Central San consultant under an as- needed contract, the associated fee was beyond the General Manager's signature authority; therefore, a competitive procurement will take place. In the meantime, her focus has shifted to procuring a consultant to assist Central San with planning for the electrification of its fleet due to impending December 1, 2022 Regular Board Meeting Agenda Packet- Page 147 of 157 Page 6 of 6 Real Estate, Environmental & Planning Committee Minutes November 16, 2022 Page 5 regulatory requirements. That procurement is currently underway with interviews of the top three teams scheduled for this Friday. Fleet electrification is an important component and an achievable goal for Central San's Net Zero efforts. The information from Central San's Fleet Electrification Strategic Plan will be a part of the baseline for evaluating Net Zero. Ms. LaBella anticipates issuing a Request for Proposals (RFP) for Net Zero soon, procuring a consultant in early 2023. She will present information for Board consideration later next year to determine if they would like to move forward with a Net Zero commitment and/or policy, if additional information is needed to make a decision, or if they would like to postpone an action on Net Zero until a later time. Committee Action: Received update. 6. Announcements None. 7. Suggestions for future agenda items a.
