CONSENT CALENDAR

 

1.         Approve Directors’ Services/Business and Travel Expenses

            a.   Future Services – August

            b.   Expenses – July

            c.   Compensation – July

 

2.                   Approve the minutes of June 19, 2009.

 

3.                   Approve the warrant register dated August 6, 2009.

 

President Campbell removed Agenda Item No. 1.a. Future Services – August from the consent calendar. 

 

MOTION:  Boatmun/Burgh to approve the consent calendar with the exception of Agenda Item No. 1.a.  The motion carried by a unanimous voice vote.

 

President Campbell asked for information regarding the Community Garden Group item on the Board’s activity calendar for August 12.  Director Boatmun responded that it concerned the Monument corridor in Concord.  She was contacted by the group to speak and they were interested in planting a garden for residents in the area.   

 

President Campbell asked how it involved the District.  Director Boatmun responded that it had to do with planning and water.  President Campbell stated that it was a City of Concord (City) planning issue.  Director Boatmun indicated that the City would be participating, along with other groups.  She advised that she had also asked Director Burgh to see if he would like to attend, as it was in his Division. 

 

President Campbell stated that he did not see the relevance of the District participating in the activity.  Director Boatmun stated that she was called to speak as a Director and she had also referred the group to staff.  President Campbell stated that he did not think a Director should be compensated for attending an event that was not the direct business of the District. 

 

Mr. Brown stated that staff had been contacted and conservation materials had been provided.  The District did not plan to have staff present at the meeting.  Director Boatmun indicated that she was not aware of this decision and assumed staff would be attending.  She stated that she would still attend the meeting and requested copies of the materials provided to the group.  She noted that some of the people participating with the group were Master Gardeners and the District had worked with Master Gardeners in the past.

 

President Campbell stated that he was in favor of removing the item from the activities calendar.  He opined that Director Boatmun could attend but not be compensated for the meeting.  He did not see a benefit for having a Director attend. 

 

Director Burgh stated that he thought the meeting was of value.  The project was moving through the City’s planning process and a message needed to be conveyed so it could be included in their planning.  All parties should receive the Board’s message that the District does not give free water.  He thought it would be worth having a Director attend and be compensated to deliver a Board policy message with clarity.  The group should be made aware that when they are looking for land for the garden that they should also be looking for funding for water.   

 

Director Wandry commented that this was a City planning question and he did not see the relevance for the District.  The water would be provided one way or the other depending on the City’s decision.  A Boardmember attending the meeting would not be beneficial to the District.   

 

MOTION:  Campbell/Wandry to approve Agenda Item No. 1.a. with the exception of the August 12 activity.  The motion carried by the following vote:  Ayes:  Campbell, Wandry, Anello, Burgh  Noes:  Boatmun.

 

ACTION

 

4.         Amended Agreement with the California Department of Water Resources for the Los Vaqueros Reservoir Expansion Project

            a.   Adopt Resolution No. 09-17 authorizing execution of a ninth amendment to the agreement with the California Department of Water Resources (DWR) for the Los Vaqueros Reservoir Expansion Project for an additional amount not to exceed $5,650,000 with an agreement total not to exceed $22,285,000; and

            b.   Authorize an increase in the FY10 Delta Projects Department budget of $3,000,000 to be funded by DWR.

 

Mr. Brown advised that this was the ninth amendment to an existing agreement with Department of Water Resources (DWR) relating to the Los Vaqueros (LV) Reservoir Expansion Project.  The contract was task-based and the amendment would allow the District to restructure some of the tasks, which enabled the District to invoice DWR for work recently completed.  The contract was non-controversial and was placed on the action calendar due to the amount.  The District had been receiving payments from the state on the contract and all invoices had been paid in full. 

 

He advised that Ms. Naillon was available for a presentation if the Board chose to have one. 

 

President Campbell asked if there were any public comments.  There were no public comments.

 

It was the consensus of the Board that a presentation was not necessary. 

 

MOTION:  Boatmun/Wandry to a) adopt Resolution No. 09-17 authorizing execution of a ninth amendment to the agreement with the California Department of Water Resources (DWR) for the Los Vaqueros Reservoir Expansion Project for an additional amount not to exceed $5,650,000 with an agreement total not to exceed $22,285,000; and b) authorize an increase in the FY10 Delta Projects Department budget of $3,000,000 to be funded by DWR.  The motion carried by a unanimous voice vote. 

 

5.         Award of Contract – FY10 Treated Water Reservoir Rehabilitation Project

            a.   Authorize execution of a contract with Crosno Construction Co. Inc., for the construction of the FY10 Treated Water Reservoir Rehabilitation Project in the amount of $893,000 with a 10% change order authority of $89,300 for a total amount not to exceed $982,300; and

            b.   Authorize an amendment to the agreement with HDR for additional design services during construction in the amount of $75,000, for a total amount not to exceed $244,000. 

 

Mr. Brown reported that the project was included in the Treated Water Reservoir Rehabilitation (TWRR) Program and was also included in the Ten-Year Capital Improvement Program (CIP) and Financial Plan.  An update on the TWRR Program was presented to the Operations and Engineering (O&E) Committee on April 2. 

Ten bids were received for the project and the apparent lowest responsive bidder was Crosno Construction, Inc.  The bid was approximately 15% less than the engineer’s estimate.  The item was placed on the action calendar due to the amount of the contract.

 

Mr. Brown advised that the amendment to the agreement with HDR for additional design services was routine.  Design services were not included with the original contract to allow staff to assess the actual amount of work needed after the end of the design.  Based on similar construction contracts, an increase for design services during construction was appropriate. 

 

President Campbell asked if there were any public comments.  There were no public comments.

 

MOTION:  Wandry/Boatmun to a) authorize execution of a contract with Crosno Construction Co. Inc., for the construction of the FY10 Treated Water Reservoir Rehabilitation Project in the amount of $893,000 with a 10% change order authority of $89,300 for a total amount not to exceed $982,300; and b) authorize an amendment to the agreement with HDR for additional design services during construction in the amount of $75,000, for a total amount not to exceed $244,000.  The motion carried by a unanimous voice vote. 

 

6.         Resolution Authorizing Execution of a Cooperative Agreement with the United States Bureau of Reclamation for the Contra Costa Canal Fish Screen Facility Project

            a.   Adopt Resolution No. 09-18 authorizing execution of a cooperative agreement with the United States Bureau of Reclamation for the Contra Costa Canal Fish Screen Facility for an amount not to exceed $6,700,000;

            b.   Authorize an increase in FY2010 Department budgets totaling $6,700,000 to be funded by Reclamation; and

            c.   Authorize the transfers of labor budgets within departments to accommodate the Project with no net increase in the District’s labor budget.

 

Mr. Brown reported that Engineering Manager Rachel Lenci would be giving a presentation.  Execution of this agreement was a significant milestone for the District.  The project was first authorized by the Central Valley Improvement Act 1994.  Entering into the agreement would allow the District to be reimbursed for the work performed for U.S. Bureau of Reclamation (Reclamation). 

 

Ms. Lenci presented a brief overview of the Contra Costa Canal Fish Screen Project and the cooperative agreement with Reclamation.   She reported that the fish screen was a regulatory requirement.  The District had received $20 million in economic stimulus funding for the project.  The design and construction bid documents for the initial phase of work had been completed.  Reclamation was finalizing design of the fish screen facility and planning to begin construction in early 2010.  

 

Using a map, Ms. Lenci identified the project location.  She reported that the District was selected by Reclamation to provide assistance implementing the project.  A letter had been received from Reclamation advising that all District costs associated with land acquisition would be reimbursed.  The scope of work included land and easement acquisition, environment permitting, the initial phase of construction and construction management, and the bypass pumping installation and operation.

Mr. Brown advised that the letter received from Reclamation established a commitment from Reclamation to make reimbursements for all costs incurred from this date forward. 

President Campbell added that this letter was also discussed during the Board’s legislative visits to Washington, DC on July 30.  He advised that it was conveyed to the legislators that District costs incurred to this point were not reimbursable.  He clarified for the audience that the District had to compete to be the contractor on this project.  He commented that it was a nice surprise to return from the trip to Washington and learn that the District had received the letter. 

 

Ms. Lenci reported that it was anticipated that the cooperative agreement would allow for reimbursement of costs up to $6.7 million.  An increase in the FY10 department budgets in the amount of $6.7 million would cover the reimbursable expenses, with no net increases in the department labor budget.  She reviewed the schedule and noted that the initial phase of construction would be completed in December 2009.  Reclamation would be finalizing the design and anticipated initiation of completion of the fish screen in January 2010, with completion in early 2011. 

 

Director Wandry asked if the trash rack would be moved to the other side of the screens or removed entirely.  Ms. Lenci responded that the trash rack would remain in place and would continue to be behind the fish screen.  It would be used for future flow control.  As part of Reclamation’s project, it would be modified so the District could install flap gates.  This would allow the canal to be isolated from the Delta in the event of a levee breach. 

 

Director Wandry asked if the trash rack would serve a purpose beyond what it was being designed for.  Ms. Lenci responded, yes.  Mr. Brown advised that the trash rack would still serve a purpose for removing large debris.

 

President Campbell asked if there were any other questions for the presenter.  There were no other questions.

 

Director Burgh expressed his satisfaction with staff for their patience in pursuing the project. 

 

President Campbell reiterated Director Burgh’s comment.  He reviewed the history of the project and commended staff for developing the project on short notice in order to qualify for funding through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act.  He commented that Directors serving on the O&E Committee had been following the project for several years.  He also commented that the District would be the only water district in the state with all intakes screened.

 

President Campbell asked if there were any public comments.  There were no public comments.

 

MOTION:   Burgh/Boatmun to a) adopt Resolution No. 09-18 authorizing execution of a cooperative agreement with the United States Bureau of Reclamation for the Contra Costa Canal Fish Screen Facility for an amount not to exceed $6,700,000; b) authorize an increase in FY2010 Department budgets totaling $6,700,000 to be funded by Reclamation; and c) authorize the transfers of labor budgets within departments to accommodate the Project with no net increase in the District’s labor budget.  The motion carried by a unanimous voice vote.

 

7.         Legislative Affairs Report – August 2009

Review update on legislative issues and adopt District positions for the following: State Legislation AB 1253 (Fuller) Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta Fish Predation – Watch; SB 283 (DeSaulnier) Department of Water Resources:  Recycled Water Systems – Support; SB 555 (Kehoe) Eminent Domain Law: Conservation Easements – Change from Oppose Unless Amended to Watch; and Federal Legislation HR 2969 (Capps) Water System Adaption Partnerships Act of 2009 – Support.   

 

Mr. Brown advised that Director of Public Affairs Jeff Weir would be making a presentation.  He noted that Mr. Weir would also be providing an update on the state budget and significant Delta water bills. 

 

Mr. Weir reported that the state budget was signed on July 28.  A review of the bills designed to reduce the $24.2 billion deficit identified cost shifts, borrowing of local property taxes from counties, cities and special districts and accelerating collection of personal income tax withholding.  A direct impact on the District would be the potential shifting of approximately 8% in state-wide property taxes.   A portion of the District’s property taxes could be dedicated to help the state close the budget gap.  This would not have an impact on the District’s Financial Plan as the funds would be repaid with interest within three years. Mr. Weir added that Governor Schwarzenegger had called a Special Session on Tax Reform in September. 

 

Mr. Weir reported that four Delta bills and one conservation measure would be heard in the Senate-Assembly Conference Committee on August 18.  Areas covered in the Delta bills included: establishing organizations to oversee and direct activities affecting the Delta; financing Delta projects using a “beneficiary pays” principles by collecting annual fees from state and federal contractors and Delta water diverters; and establishing a Delta Stewardship Council that would complete a comprehensive management plan by 2011.  In addition, the Department of Fish and Game would oversee and implement immediate actions projects for the Delta, including fish screens.  The rules and reporting requirements for water diversions would be tightened.  New water quality standards would be established by the State Water Resources Control Board.  A requirement for 20% conservation by 2020 would also impose new water management plans for agricultural users. 

 

Director Boatmun asked who would sit on the Stewardship Council.  Mr. Weir responded that it was proposed to be a seven member Council.  Four members would be appointed by the Governor, one by the Senate, one by the Assembly and one by the Delta Protection Commission.  Director Boatmun asked about the length of the terms.  Mr. Weir responded that they would have multi-year, staggered terms. 

 

Mr. Weir presented the following state legislation:

 

AB 1253 (Fuller) Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta Fish Predation – The bill would create the Bay-Delta Authority and a board of independent scientists to evaluate the scientific issues of implementing any Bay-Delta improvement programs.  It would require the authority to review predation of sensitive fish species and mitigation measures at state and federal export facilities.  A valid scientific study could help guide future restoration programs for endangered species in the Delta and would impact lawsuits.  A Watch position was recommended. 

 

President Campbell asked Director Boatmun if ACWA used the same legislative nomenclature that the District uses.  Director Boatmun responded, yes.

 

SB 283 (DeSaulnier) – Department of Water Resources:  Recycled Water Systems – Mr. Weir reported that this bill was designed to expand use of recycled water indoors for homes and commercial structures.  The bill would extend the deadline to December 31, 2009 to allow DWR to recommend changes to the Uniform Plumbing Code, for design standards for potable and recycled water systems.  The bill would also repeal a limitation that currently exists and allows DWR to postpone making “purple pipe” recommendations unless funds are authorized.  The proposed code changes would provide consistency for public health and safety where purple pipe was used.  A Favor position was recommended. 

 

SB 555 (Kehoe) Eminent Domain:  Conservation Easements – The bill would set new requirements for acquiring property through eminent domain subject to a conservation easement.  The District had opposed the bill in July because the original language created a potential liability for double compensation.  Assemblyman Kehoe had accepted the District’s amendments that would eliminate the double-recovery concern, which was unintended.  The recommended position was to change from Oppose unless Amended to Watch. 

 

President Campbell asked if other districts or ACWA had the same concerns as the District.  Mr. Weir responded that there were other districts with the same concern.   

 

Mr. Weir presented the following federal legislation:

 

HR 2969 (Capps) Water System Adaptation – This bill would create a new grant program within the Environmental Protection Agency for water projects that mitigate impacts of climate change.  The bill was supported by many water agencies including ACWA, the Association of Metropolitan Water Agencies, California Association of Sanitation Agencies and the American Water Works Association.  A Support position was recommended.

 

President Campbell asked if there were any questions for the presenter. 

 

Director Boatmun commented that the staff report did not include ACWA’s position on the federal legislation.  Mr. Weir responded that it was an oversight

 

President Campbell clarified the acronym ACWA as the Association of California Water Agencies for members of the audience. 

 

President Campbell asked if there were any public comments.  There were no public comments. 

 

MOTION:  Boatmun/Burgh to adopt District positions for the following: State Legislation AB 1253 (Fuller) Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta Fish Predation – Watch; SB 283 (DeSaulnier) Department of Water Resources:  Recycled Water Systems – Support; SB 555 (Kehoe) Eminent Domain Law: Conservation Easements – Change from Oppose Unless Amended to Watch; and Federal Legislation HR 2969 (Capps) Water System Adaption Partnerships Act of 2009 – Support.   The motion carried by a unanimous voice vote. 

 

DISCUSSION AND INFORMATION

 

8.                   Review construction projects status report. 

 

Mr. Brown advised that Director of Construction Dan Owre would be making a presentation.  He also advised that all of the projects had previously been reviewed by the O&E Committee. 

 

Mr. Owre gave an overview of the Construction Department’s efforts during the last year.  He reported that the District had implemented 19 construction projects.  The treated water system improvements consisted of 12 projects, totaling $50 million.  The untreated water system improvements consisted of 7 projects, totaling $70 million. 

 

Mr. Owre reported that all of the projects were within budget and within Board authority.  The focus was to complete all projects with the highest quality of construction, on schedule and within budget.  Two projects accounted for over 86% of the construction expenditures for the last year.  The Alternative Intake Project (AIP) totaled $58 million and the CCWD/City of Brentwood Water Treatment Plant totaled $42 million.  The AIP constructed a new intake to improve the District’s source of water quality and assist the possible future construction of the Los Vaqueros Expansion Project.  The AIP consisted of three construction projects:  the Setback Levee Project, the Intake and Pump Station Project, and the Conveyance Pipeline Project. 

 

Using an aerial photograph of the project location on Victoria Island, Mr. Owre identified the AIP intake structure, pump station and setback levee.  He also identified Old River and the Old River Pump Station locations. 

 

President Campbell asked when the picture was taken.  Mr. Owre responded that it was mid-June to July.    

 

Using another photograph, Mr. Owre identified two miles of six foot diameter pipeline which had been laid from the base of the setback levee to the receiving shaft.  He also provided photos and updates on the AIP pump station and intake.  

 

President Campbell commented on the progress that had been made on the project since his site visit on June 24.  He asked if the floor was poured.  Mr. Owre responded that the intake slab was completely poured and work was being done on the vertical elements.  The cofferdam would be completely removed and the intake would be flooded by November 30. 

 

Mr. Owre also presented photos of the jacking shaft, which was going underneath Old River, the Los Vaqueros pipeline and the AIP connection to the LV pipeline. 

 

President Campbell asked if the tunnel casing extraction had started.  Mr. Owre responded, yes, it began today.  He then explained the extraction process.    

 

Mr. Owre presented the CCWD/City of Brentwood Water Treatment Plant Project (WTP).  He reported that the plant provides the City of Brentwood (Brentwood) with 15 million gallons of water per day (mgd).  Brentwood was pleased with the quality of construction and that the water had been delivered approximately four months ahead of schedule.  Aerial views of the WTP completed on January 1, 2009 were presented. 

Mr. Owre reported on the Canal Elimination and Flood Mitigation Project.  He reviewed photos before the start of construction and progress made to date during construction.  The project was due for completion in late 2009. 

 

Mr. Owre next reviewed additional projects in the Capital Improvement Program.  The Country Club Pump Station Expansion Project was a treated water improvement project adding three pumps and allowing the District to eliminate the Paso Nogal Pump Station, which had geologic issues.  He identified the location of the three new pumps.  A photo and review of the Ygnacio Pump Station Solar Power Project was presented.  He reported that three sets of solar panels were completed in 2008.  The panels were working well, saving the District energy costs, and providing approximately 45 kilowatts of “green” energy.  The Bollman Water Treatment Plant Ozone Generator Project was also reviewed.  The generators were being added because the existing generators were nearing the end of their useful life. 

 

Mr. Owre noted that all of the projects presented were constructed to improve water quality, water service reliability, emergency preparedness, and the District’s ability to operate and maintain its treated and untreated water systems. 

 

President Campbell asked if there were any questions or comments for the presenter.

 

Director Burgh commented on the significance of the projects and the District’s efforts in completing them.  He also commended staff for the foresight in accomplishing the canal replacement before serious risks occurred for the District and the citizens.  He noted the detail summary of the major construction projects and commented positively regarding the low amount of change orders.  He commended staff on their knowledge and quality work. 

 

President Campbell agreed with Director Burgh’s comments regarding quality engineering.  He advised that he had spent some time reviewing the construction drawings for the AIP and good technical work was done.  He expressed his appreciation to Ms. Lenci and Mr. Owre

 

President Campbell asked if there were any public comments.  There were no public comments.

Director Burgh advised that he had applied for an exceptions request for his water allotment due to an additional member of his family moving into his residence.  The person was not living in his home when the baseline water consumption data was compiled under the Drought Management Program. 

 

He also reported that he would defer comments from the Board’s Washington, D.C. legislative visits to President Campbell. 

 

Director Boatmun commented that she had distributed the article from the Contra Costa Times concerning the peripheral canal at the ACWA Board meeting on July 31.  She also commented that presentations were given by Metropolitan Water District’s Bay-Delta Imported Water Supply Program Manager Randall Neudeck and Santa Clara Valley Water District’s Special Counsel Greg Zlotnick.  Feedback was that a full range of alternatives should be reviewed.  She noted that it was an interesting, well attended meeting. 

 

Director Anello did not have a report.

 

Vice President Wandry did not have a report.
