6.       BUSINESS BEFORE THE BOARD                                              

 

          6A.     CONSIDERATION TO ACCEPT THE ISD ACTUARIAL STUDY OF RETIREE HEALTH LIABILITIES AS OF JULY 1, 2015 PREPARED BY TOTAL COMPENSATION SYSTEMS, INC. (Conference call with Geoff Kischuk of Total Comp.)

Mr. Davisson reviewed that ISD contracted with Total Compensation Systems, Inc. (TCS) to prepare an actuarial study of retiree liabilities as of July 1, 2015 to comply with GASB 45 and reporting requirements of CalPERS Ca Employers’ Retirement Benefit Trust (CERBT) requiring an Actuarial valuation as of July 1, 2015.  Mr. Welty has been working with Mr. Kischuk of Total Compensation Systems, Inc. to perform the valuation and introduced Geoff Kischuk via a conference call to review the valuation with the Board.  Mr. Kischuk gave a thorough and detailed overview of the Actuarial Study prepared for ISD dated March 29, 2016.  Mr. Kischuk reported that the costs of liability are higher and interest on investment is lower, at 7.25%.  CalPERS issued new demographic tables and the most recent shows the mortality table has increased.  The district has more retirees, several of which are previous Board members or their relatives, which impacts the ongoing costs related to retiree medical healthcare.

Director Contreras asked about the CalPERS investment rate.  Mr. Kischuk stated it is assumed at 7.28%.  Their strategic funding is assuming 7% and the .28% to cover administrative costs.  Discussion was held on what the trends are in the industry and future impact on the District.  Staff recommended accepting the report.

M/S D. Contreras, C. Lauritzen and the Board voted to accept the Actuarial Study from Total Compensation Systems, Inc.

In favor: D. Contreras, C. Lauritzen, S. Morgan, M. Painter and D. Scheer.  Opposed: None.  Absent: None.

 

6B.     RECEIVE AN UPDATE ON THE MARSH CREEK RESTORATION PROJECT.

Mr. Davisson stated at the workshop the Board held on November 17, 2015, the Board asked staff to provide periodic reports on the Marsh Creek Restoration project and potential of alternative uses for the property.  Mr. Davisson reported that he was in contact representatives from Denova Homes who developed the Emerson and Gilbert property.  Based on very preliminary analysis, estimates for the potential value of the District’s property described in the Marsh Creek Restoration Project area is a broad range of $50 – 80,000 per acre.  Adjacent property in the Emerson and Gilbert development areas was valued at approximately $100,000 per acre with full entitlements.  There are many factors to consider, including an environmental impact review, soils testing, etc. to determine the development potential of the land prior to additional discussion with a developer.  In January, the District received notice from the EPA that the proposed Marsh Creek project would be compliant with the grant.  In working with DWR, the District needs to make a decision to determine if further efforts are to be made for consideration of alternative projects for the property, and provide a clear position to DWR by the end of the current fiscal year. 

Randy Mager of DWR was available for discussion on the project with the Board.  He stated the information from EPA is viable information for the project.  Director Morgan stated the timing of the project has slipped.  Mr. Mager stated the Dutch Slough project was able to get clearance and in 2017 they could be moving forward with the dirt removal project.

M/S D. Contreras, S. Morgan and the Board voted to accept the report on the Marsh Creek Delta Habitat Project.

In favor: D. Contreras, C. Lauritzen, S. Morgan, M. Painter and D. Scheer.  Opposed: None.  Absent: None.

 

6C.     RECEIVE REPORT ON THE MAIN STREET SEWER PIPELINE CONDITION ASSESSMENT AND PROVIDE DIRECTION TO STAFF REGARDING REPAIR RECOMMENDATIONS AND POTENTIAL REIMBURSEMENT AGREEMENT RELATED TO CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROJECT NO. 165 WITH THE CITY OF OAKLEY.  

At 7:40 p.m., Vivian Housen joined the meeting via conference call. 

Mr. Davisson reported this item is being brought back to the Board for consideration and presented the revised report and laid out the three alternatives, 1) Do Nothing; 2) Partial Rehabilitation for a total estimated cost of $77,000; 3) Full Pipe and Lateral Replacement for a total estimated cost of $460,609.

The Maintenance Superintendent (Smith) stated that this pipeline requires cleaning on a frequency of 6 week intervals.  In February, the District was notified by the City of Oakley that they were planning to bid out an extensive downtown street improvement project on Main Street.  Upon completion of the project, the City communicated that they intend to impose a 10-year non-emergency street cut moratorium within the downtown area. 

At 7:53 p.m., Directors Scheer and Painter recused themselves from the action of this item due to being property owners in the area of Main Street for the proposed work.

Kevin Rohani, Oakley City Engineer was in attendance.  Director Contreras asked for clarification from Mr. Rohani regarding the City’s municipal code authority specific to street cut moratorium duration.  Mr. Rohani stated that the City’s municipal code includes a 5-year moratorium, but due to the extensive improvements planned for Main Street, the City intends to impose a 10-year moratorium policy.  There was discussion about other utilities being improved as well as the City’s work to construct stormdrain infrastructure within the project area.  Although Mr. Rohani suggested that the City planned to enforce a 10-year moratorium, he did confirm that this requirement was not included within the City’s Municipal Code.  Mr. Rohani went on to discuss that the driver for this project was to attract business development and that the City is anticipating commercial infusion in the downtown area. 

Director Contreras asked Ms. Housen about the current end of the system, asked for clarification about whether the District is experiencing any capacity issues on this pipeline at its current size.  Ms. Housen stated it starts at Norcross and there are no capacity issues with the 6” line.  Ms. Housen also stated that a 6-inch diameter pipeline would not likely experience capacity related problems, even with future development, the Board should be aware that it is no longer the standard as it is difficult to clean.  Additionally, Housen reiterated that the existing laterals in the area are 4-inch.  Future developments may be required to upgrade the lateral size to 6-inch based on their sewer discharge needs.  In this situation, the existing pipe size may be problematic because it is not standard to connect a 6-inch lateral to a 6-inch mainline.  The Board members considered this and communicated that at this time the City is unsure of what the future development will be and what infrastructure improvements will be necessary.  There was consensus that future development will be required to bear the expense of any required improvements.

Director Contreras also asked if the three laterals from the south could be connected to the north side and could they be laid out and a change made in elevation.  Ms. Housen said she couldn’t answer that without knowing the elevation of the other utilities at that location.

Ms. Housen had to leave the meeting via telephone conference.

Director Lauritzen stated that this sewer system pipeline was installed back in 1947 and his opinion was that it should be a complete replacement not just a band-aid. 

Staff confirmed that this pipeline has never been included in a capital improvement plan, replacement schedule or budget, although it has required high-frequency cleaning for at least the last 20-years. 

M/S S. Morgan, D. Contreras motioned to authorize staff to proceed with Alternative 2 for the north pipeline, and repair of the south pipeline, and authorize the General Manager to finalize and execute a Reimbursement Agreement related to Capital Improvement Project No. 165 with the City of Oakley, for an estimated amount of $70,800.  In addition, approve $6,200 for District costs for soils testing and construction inspection, as required by the City, for a total project cost ceiling of $77,000.

In favor: D. Contreras, and S. Morgan.  Opposed: C. Lauritzen.  Absent: None.  Recused: M. Painter and D. Scheer.

 

At 8:25 p.m., Directors M. Painter and D. Scheer joined the meeting.

 

6D.     EVALUATE THE PROPOSED JERSEY ISLAND PHASE II CRITERIA AND DIRECT STAFF TO PROCEED WITH THE JERSEY ISLAND PHASE II ANALYSIS PLAN.  

Mr. Davisson reviewed that on March 2, 2016 at the Board workshop for Phase I of the Jersey Island an analysis approach was given.  At the meeting, direction was given to staff to proceed with Phase II of the Jersey Island Plan.  Staff are working to establish a more direct connection between Jersey Island and treat and dispose, and are reviewing the options that have been summarized for the Board. 

Mr. Dal Porto reported that a more efficient way for hay production is to eliminate production of small hay bales and is immediately implementing this  Staff will put the hay up in large bales only, which will save staff and equipment costs.  Consideration of changes to staffing level is being reviewed.

Staff are looking into Biosolids processing and disposal on Jersey Island as a potential for cost savings to the District. 

Director Lauritzen applauds Mr. Dal Porto and staff for all the hard work on this project.   He asked what would be the feed costs if we did not farm our own hay.  Mr. Dal Porto stated that it varies by year.  Last year it would have been a savings but not two years ago.  The feed costs vary each year.  The cattle farmers with their own feed resources are the ones that have survived.  Mr. Davisson redirected the conversation and reiterated that proper analysis was required in order to provide reliable information to the Board.

Discussion was held on the potential of biosolids disposal options and diversification.  Mr. Davisson assured the Board that he is pursuing options through his CASA contacts.

Mr. Davisson reported he will have a status update at the May meeting regarding staffing, recreation and changes to the hay production options, and will have a report for the Board.

Director Painter suggested staff talk to the East Bay Regional Parks Department in regards to recreational options.

M/S D. Contreras, M. Painter and the Board voted to accept the report on the proposed Jersey Island Phase II criteria and direct staff to proceed with the Jersey Island Phase II Analysis Plan as approved by the Board.

In favor: D. Contreras, C. Lauritzen, S. Morgan, M. Painter and D. Scheer.  Opposed: None.  Absent: None.

 

7.       GENERAL MANAGER AND STAFF REPORT                                                  

Staff reports were provided in the Board packet. 

Mr. Davisson reported on an incident at the WRF plant on March 31, at 2:00 p.m.  It was a serious incident and could have been a tragic incident.  Response needs to be as though it could have been a worse case scenario.  He reported that secure covers have been made and a life ring has been secured with safety ropes, and ladders are in the process of being mounted.  CSRMA will send out a safety representative to evaluate any other safety issues there may be at the facility.  Mr. Davisson will continue to do an investigation.  He reported the safety officer has been out and he will continue to work with him on this issue.

Mr. Davisson thanked Louis Solana and Leon Laucirica for their immediate response and work well done to secure the grates.

Mr. Davisson reported on the new John Deer tractor that it has been received at Jersey Island and waiting for the grant process to complete.

Director Contreras asked about the restoration management replacement of toys reported in the GM staff report.  Mr. Davisson reported that staff were cleaning a line on Main Street and 2 weeks later, the owner reported sewage in the basement.  Staff had restoration management come in to clean and replace damaged items.  Back flow preventers were put on the laterals for future prevention.  Director Contreras stated that backflow preventers on private laterals reduce risk to the District and should be a standard requirement.

He reported staff received a settlement from PG&E for the Bridgehead and Main Street project.

5.         NEW BUSINESS

 

5A.      Consider Approving a Reimbursement Agreement with The City of Oakley for The Design and Construction of Approximately 1,010 Linear Feet of Sewer Mainline, Laterals, and Appurtenances on Main Street Between Norcross and 2nd Streets in an amount not to exceed $460,608.60 ($422,608.60 for Design and Construction and $38,000 for Soils Testing and Construction Inspection) as Part of a Related City Capital Improvement Project (No. 165).

The City is completing biddable design documents for utility relocation and roadway construction of Main Street from Norcross to 2nd Street.  The roadway improvements will include sidewalk, median, landscaping improvements, and roadway resurfacing completing the work at night.   Earlier this year we were approached by the City with their reconstruction plans and asked for use to consider replacing the sewer pipes in conjunction with the City’s utility relocation work.  After the work is completed, there will be a moratorium period, which utility construction will not be allowed only for emergency repairs.  However, any construction will included an added requirement for substantial roadway reconstruction.

The District maintains two sewer pipelines within this portion of Main Street, the north pipe is within the westbound lane is a 6” clay pipe with 18 - 4” lateral connections approximately 12’ deep.  It contains grease issues, sags, pipe defects and an intruding lateral pipeline, which is on a 6 week maintenance schedule.  The south pipe is located within the eastbound lane and is a 6” vitrified clay pipeline with three lateral connections.  The condition of this pipe is better, but has a significant break at the bottom of the pipe with a visible void beyond the pipeline wall approx. 100’ west of O’Hara.

 

Mr. Davisson stated it would be a cost efficiency in collaborating with the City to complete this project.  Waiting to replace this pipeline during the moratorium would involve heightened requirements and an additional expense.  

The moratorium period is 10 years for Main Street and 5 years for other streets.  This project creates a challenge as it was not included in the FY 2015/16 budget and is almost 10% of the total capital budget.

 

Mr. Louis Solana showed some video of the line and gave an overview of the issues that cause frequent maintenance.  Staff stated that they have significant issues with this line.

 

It was suggested to amend the recommendation, provide pricing for doing possible trenchless repair, and bring back to the Board as an option getting pricing quickly to not interfere in the timing of the Project. 

 

Mr. Kevin Rohani of the City of Oakley stated the benefits to rehabilitee with businesses updating the line for the future commercial business that may come to the Main Street location.  

The timing of the project is to go out to bid and start work later in the summer and complete the build out later this year.  The project will design the underground work ahead of the streetscape.  The underground work was to begin this spring-summer and paving and grading in the fall of 2016.

He stated it would benefit and minimize costs to both the District and the City to due diligence on street improvements by completing the underground work first. 

Director Contreras asked if the issues with this line were brought to the Maintenance-Collections Committee.  Mr. Smith stated that it has not but it is one of the 27 projects on the priority list. 

Mr. Davisson stated this pipe is one of the oldest and in the worst condition.  Staff are developing a list and prioritizing of the 27 hot spots issues to develop a schedule for capital improvement updates.

 

Director Contreras stated his concerns that this is the second time this year the City has come to us with design issues.  He would like to have more time to consider the appropriation of funds for projects. 

Mr. Davisson stated the earlier project was piggy backed on an existing project with the City and this project would be included in the bid package.

Director Contreras stated that he would like to have this item tabled until the additional Board member can be able to attend.

Mr. Kevin Rohani stated this item is on the City Council agenda for next week.  In the future, he will work together with staff on any Capital project.  He wants to spend due diligence to complete the underground work and is willing to work with the Board for consideration of this item.

 

M/S D. Contreras, S. Morgan and the Board voted unanimously to postpone Item 5A for consideration at the April 5, 2016 regular meeting. Proceed with south-side repair and get a cost estimate and alternatives.

In favor: D. Contreras, S. Morgan, M. Painter and D. Scheer.  Opposed: None.  Absent: C. Lauritzen.

 

6.         Adjournment

There being no further business, President Scheer adjourned the special meeting at 7:26 p.m.
