FROM: J. MICHAEL WALFORD, PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR
DATE: DECEMBER 20, 1994
SUBJECT: ADOPT RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING SANITATION DISTRICT NO. 19 INVOLVEMENT
IN THE EAST COUNTY WATER SUPPLY MANAGEMENT STUDY COST SHARING
AGREEMENT, AND AUTHORIZE A DEPOSIT OF FUNDS NOT TO EXCEED $17,500
FOR THIS STUDY
Specific Request(s) or ecorrvnen a ions Background us i ica ion
I. Recommended Action:
ADOPT resolution authorizing execution of the East County Water Supply Management Study
Phase II Agreement, which provides for cost sharing; and
AUTHORIZE a deposit of the amount required for the agreement, not to exceed $17,500.
II. Financial Impact:
There are funds available in the Sanitation District No. 19 budget for this purpose. Under the
Phase II study agreement, the cost of Sanitation District No. 19 participation in the study is 4% of
the total cost of the study, and agreement terms require 125% of this amount on deposit. Based
on a (worst case)-study cost of$350,000, a deposit of$17,500 by the Sanitation District No. 19 is
required. Some minor reallocation of costs is possible, should any of the eleven agencies choose
not to participate. This seems unlikely, given the strong commitment already demonstrated.
Agencies with the largest degree of monetary involvement, Contra Costa Water District (25%) and
the City of Brentwood (18%), have already committed to the project.
III. Reasons for Recommendations and Background:
In January 1992, Supervisor Torlakson initiated and the Board approved a referral to the Board's
Water Committee to evaluate and initiate a comprehensive water master plan for the east county
area. On April 7, 1992, the Water Committee recommended and the Board approved a request
of Contra Costa Water District (CCWD) to prepare the first phase of such a plan. In January 1994,
CCWD released the first phase report, detailing supply and demand issues in east county through
the year 2050. In April 1994, Supervisor Torlakson held an east county water workshop in
Brentwood where issues of concern to all east county parties were discussed, and CCWD
presented the phase one study.

Ill. Reasons for Recommendations and Background: (cont.)
Since that time, the eleven agencies which now comprise the East County Water Management
Group have been meeting to establish content, methodology, financing and other mechanisms
to facilitate preparation of the detailed, comprehensive phase two study. The Water
Management Group has prepared an agreement between all agencies to provide for public
agency cost sharing, a schedule for study completion, outline of administrative procedures,
and sets up a committee of Governing Board Representatives in addition to the Joint (water)
Managers Committee. In addition, a scope of work and a matrix of agency study requirements
have been completed (short, middle and long-term needs are outlined). Requests for
consultant statements of interest in preparation of the study were sent to 26 firms, and two
consulting firms have indicated an interest in preparing proposals. Water Managers Group
review of consultant proposals and interviews will take place in mid December 1994.
The study is expected to be of approximately two years duration. The Water Managers Group
has done much to expedite this process and enable some short-term solutions to be available
by mid 1996.
The goal of the proposed East County Water Supply Management Study is to assure a reliable
supply of water for existing and future water users in east county through preparation of a
common water service document which considers preservation and management of existing
supplies, development of infrastructure alternatives, as well as some attention to the solution
of legal, institutional and financial issues. Phase one of the study dealt preliminarily with
supply and demand issues. The phase two report will consider alternative means of meeting
existing and future water demand in east county, including facility alternatives, water sources
and institutional arrangements.
The east county study area includes the Cities of Pittsburg, Antioch and Brentwood, and the
unincorporated areas of east Contra Costa County. Water managers in the cities and county
are currently meeting with district counterparts from the East Contra Costa Irrigation District,
Byron Bethany Irrigation District, Contra Costa Water District, Diablo Water District, Sanitary
District No. 19, Delta Diablo Sanitation District, and Ironhouse Sanitary District.
The Board Water Committee has review this issue with interest, and submitted a report to the
Board December 6, 1994.
IV. Consequences of Negative Action:
County share of costs will have to be shared by other agencies.
