Choosing a  Replacement Commissioner

This month the couple of dozen special districts in the County will vote for one of four candidates to fill the LAFCO (Local Agency Formation Commission) seat left open upon the retirement of the Oceano CSD director at the end of December 2009. Each county in California has a LAFCo who mission it is to ensure orderly development and efficient provision of services, including annexations and applications for citihood.

The Candidates and Incumbents:

The four candidates are Ed Eby (Director, Nipomo CSD); Brian Kreowski (Commissioner, Port of San Luis Harbor District); Kristi Jenkins (Trustee, CCHD) and Muril Clift (Director, CCSD). With two possible winners, Cambria has an even chance of getting representation on LAFCo this time around. Supervisor Gibson is on the LAFCo board, but he is the only one from the north coast currently there. (other commissioners:  Duane Picanco City Member, City of Paso Robles; Richard Roberts Public Member; Katcho Achadjian, County Board Member, District 4 Supervisor; David L. Brooks Special District Member, Templeton Community Services District; Bruce Gibson County Board Member, District 2 Supervisor; Allen Settle City Member, City of San Luis Obispo, Alternate Commissioners Ed Eby, Tom Murray, James R. Patterson, Kris Vardas.

Who Elects the LAFCo Commissioner?

There are three special district boards in this area that have a vote on who will fill the special district seat: Cambria Community Services District(CCSD), Cambria Community Healthcare District(CCHD), and the Cambria Cemetery District. At this week’s CCHD meeting, a divided board decided to not vote for any of the candidates after rejecting suggestions of Eby (first) and Clift (second) both 3 to 2. The discussion began with Trustee Jenkins essentially pulling her name from consideration, explaining she felt there were at least two candidates better qualified for  the position. Trustee Fratto then nominated Eby, which Trustee Lemming seconded and both voted to approve. Trustee Bates and Jenkins voted “no” immediately and Trustee Headding voted no, after some consideration, to break the tie. Then Trustee Gates moved support of Muril Clift, which ws seconded by Trustee Jenkins. There was no hesitation from the three “no” votes and when no one else was suggested, the final action of non-action was taken.

What This Means

I am not inside the minds of the CCHD trustees, but Muril Clift’s stunt last year (packing a CCHD meeting with folks upset about the ALS equipment and other issues) seems to have left a mark on the trustees, and not in a good way. Rather than using their vote to support Cambria on LAFCo, the CCHD  seems to prefer to hold a grudge. Three of these Trustees are up for election in November 2010. Are they serving the community in a way that you support?

93428, Cambria

February 7, 2010
Letter to Cambrians,
What are we getting for the $733,000?
The CCSD (the Army Corps of Engineers) has plans to drill up two ten sites and install several test wells at Santa Rosa Creek where it enters the ocean at Shamel Park, which is estimated to cost $733,000. This expenditure is likely to lead to a desalination plant, which will lead to further expenditures. (Estimated at over $21,000,000.) The testing will have impacts on the environment, as will the potential desalination plant. The “Proposed Negative Declaration” filed by the CCSD on January 4, 2010 (may be January 14, can’t tell from poor quality of posted document) woefully underestimates the potential and known environmental damages from the proposed test drilling.
I object to the testing, on grounds of the heart–the effects on the life, human, plant and animal. I also object on the grounds of the head, that is of the cost, when other solutions would cost less and with less negative impact.
Since the approximately 3800 residences in Cambria use about 75% of the water, the cost for the testing to each residence, if divided up would be $145.

Points of the heart

Thousands of sea birds depend upon the estuary for water, food and respite. The sand bar at the mouth of the creek creates a lagoon where many species of fish breed, which in turn feed birds, otters, wildlife and us.
Construction of test wells and a desalination plant will increase the levels of toxins on the beach, in the ocean, our air, and in our water. Toxic mercury from old mines would likely be released and becomes highly toxic when it comes in contact with oxygen. Leaks from equipment and pollution from their engines threaten our air and land.
Over the long term, should a desalinization plant be installed, a large plume of salt and at least 25 known carcinogens would be spewed out into the ocean, resulting in a dead area in the ocean and continued contamination. Sea water contains pollutants which would have to be counteracted by the process.
Reasons of the Head: Fiscal Irresponsibility of the Plan
The proposed desalination project is sized to allow for every household to use 18 units bimonthly. Our actual average per household use is about 9 units bimonthly. Why? Such excess production is costly.
CCSD hasn’t told us how much we can expect our water bills to go up. Because they will go up. A DWR estimate from 2003 on the cost of desalinated water may range between $1160 to $1,600 per acre-foot of water, much more than the current cost to pump from the creeks. Cambria uses an average of 60 acre feet per month, about 700 per year. One acre-foot is approximately 326,000 gallons, or 436 CCSD units. The average family uses about .19 acre feet per year. This translates into a cost of $58,000 to $128,000 a month for Cambria or a cost to the average household for water of between $29 and $64 per water bill.
I experienced a doubling in water bill while living in Santa Barbara in the 90s after they built a desalinisation plant. The plant is no longer in service due to high maintenance and operation costs.
Of course these figures are estimates. However, my conversations with a water engineer indicate that if anything they are underestimated, due to the cost overruns of such mammoth projects.
Fiscally Responsible Solutions
What makes the desalinization project even more problematic is that there are less costly solutions.
• 30% to 50% of water used by Cambrians could be saved by installing grey water systems in each home, at a cost of between $500 for a minimal system to an average of $4000. 1466 homes in Cambria could have the minimal grey water system installed for just the cost of the testing!
• expand the rebates program, about to run out of the measly $2000 allocated for Cambrians to install low water usage toilets.
• conduct water audits by a professional, which would including installing low-flow fixtures, establishing detailed water usage in Cambria, providing education about conservation, and maintaining an awareness throughout the community about the urgency for conservation. I would cost approximately. All residences in Cambria could be audited by hiring three auditors for three months which would cost approximately $24,000. If all residences in Cambria had up to date water friendly toilets and fixtures, we could save 40% or more of our water usage, without changing any of our habits!
• Look into developing ponds or storage tanks up Santa Rosa Creek. (Dr. Jim Brownell conducted such a study, available in the Cambria Library, largely ignored!)
• Install an updated wastewater recycling system. A local plumber estimated that the current system uses over 50% more water than an updated, ecologically superior system would require.
• Improving the sewage treatment plant to provide recycled wastewater (also known as reclaimed, tertiary standard, California Title 22, (‘purple pipe’) could save 2 to 3 units per month for each household.
In conclusion there are too many reasons, both of the heart and the head to go ahead with the costly text drilling at our precious Shamel Park or with the plan for building a desalinization plant with so many better solutions available.
Do not let fear or greed rule the day.
Sincerely,
Valerie Bentz
Cambria resident since 2000

As the desalination project starts moving forward again with the test wells, the Cambria Community Services District Board and staff refer to the Water Master Plan – a series of studies and documents that have been approved over the last decade and a half. The new CCSD website isn’t as easy to navigate as the previous one, so finding some of this information can be trying or near impossible. If you want to make an informed decision or better understand what the Board is basing their decisions on, add these documents to your reading list.
(I welcome any suggested additions to this list. Just send me an email amanda at aboutcambria dot com or in comments below.)

At this Tuesday’s Cambria Healthcare District meeting (Jan 26, 2010,   6:30pm, Rabobank), Administrator Melendy will present estimated cost provided by San Luis Ambulance Service to provide 2 paramedic ambulances to the Cambria area. Administrator Melendy will recommend that the CCHD members of the ad hoc committee be instructed to study the information and present recommendations to the full board as to the direction to proceed.Most of you will remember a similar presentation at the CCSD provided by CalFire. This is part of the ongoing struggles to locate the ambulances at the CCSD fire station.

Also on the agenda is a  presentation on the 2010-2011 Fiscal Year Budget – Administrator Melendy will provide the Trustees with preliminary information regarding the budget preparation. The CCHD gets its funding through our property taxes and by charging those folks (or their insurance) they transport.

93428

The Cambria Community Services District board will meet February 1st to consider some of the business that would have been considered on January 21, 2010 if that meeting had not been canceled. A quick review of both agendas reveals these items have been removed:

A. Consider Adoption of Resolution 07-2010 Approving Management Recommendations to Resolve Impasse in Labor Negotiations Between the
CCSD and Cambria Firefighters/IAFF (International Association of Firefighters) Local 4635, and Establishing Terms and Conditions of Employment for the IAFF Members; Consider Adoption of Resolution 08-2010 Reporting the Payment of Member Contributions to the California Public Employees’ Retirement System; and Consider Adoption of Resolution 09-2010 for Employer Pick-Up – IRC 414(H)(2)
(Estimated Time: 30 minutes)
9. REGULAR BUSINESS
A. Receive DRAFT Audit Fiscal Year 2008-2009
B. Consider Adoption of Resolution 02-2010 Approving Mid-Year Revision to Fiscal Year 2009/2010 CCSD Operating Budget

Also not listed is the Board’s intent to adjourn to closed session. The January 21 agenda indicated they would adjourn to closed session to discuss evaluation of the general manager. Did the board meet in closed session on the 21st? Or perhaps the GM’s evaluation was completed before now.

The full agenda is available on the CCSD website. The agenda packet is only 55 pages. I hope we can look to the February 25 meeting to hear more about the auditor’s report and the mid-year budget review.

The agenda packet for this week’s CCSD meeting is available on the Cambria CSD website. It has a lot of interesting information about district business, so I thought I’d include it here. This is directly from the published agenda on the CCSD website.

ADMINISTRATION

LATE FEE WAIVER – 12-MONTH PAYMENT HISTORY REVIEW

Last month, staff met with the former Executive Committee (President Sanders and Vice President Chaldecott) as directed by the Board of Directors concerning the existing policy for allowing waiver of a customer’s late fee if their account is in good standing (no late payments within the preceding 12 months). The discussion among Directors concerned potentially changing policy to require a 24-month good payment history, rather than 12 months.
The existing 12-month payment history requirement has worked effectively these past several years when dealing with customers who, for whatever reason, did not timely pay their bill.
While it is true that there are only six payments within a customer’s 12-month payment history, it is acknowledged that it is reasonable that a payment oversight or error could be made by a customer. A 12-month review of a customer’s account by staff is simple and quick, and customers who have received a waiver appreciate the relief. Moreover, the policy has been even more resourceful during these past couple of years for customers dealing with the economic downturn. The CCSD has more customers on payment plans ever as a result of the poor economy and lost jobs (approximately 30 billing accounts),
but staff is following Board direction and working within existing policies to assist customers in need as best possible.
Therefore, the Executive Committee and staff determined that the 12-month good payment history requirement is reasonable and should not be changed at this time.

VOLUNTARY LOT MERGER PROGRAM

Attached is the quarterly summary report for the CCSD’s Voluntary Lot Merger Program covering activity for April 2007-December 2009, which, unfortunately, again reflects no change in lot merger activity. The program has gone six (6) months with no lot merger activity, and we believe that is because of the increased SLO County costs for the merger process. However, per the Board’s direction and Resolution 62-2009 on December 14, 2009, the program funding
authorization for lot mergers was increased from $200 to $800 per customer, which is a renewed incentive for a property owner. Staff included the attached Voluntary Lot Merger Program flyer with the November/December 2009 utility bills reminding customers, and the same flyer will be mailed to vacant lot owners within the next few weeks.
A $33,000 increase in program revenues was recognized in December 2009 resulting from the EDU conversion and Agreement between the CCSD and Granville Homes, Inc., per Resolution 53-2009 dated October 22, 2009.
A total of 352 lots have been reduced at a cost of $19,987. The BRP (Buildout Reduction Program) goal for reduction by voluntary lot merger was 394 lots, and the program reached 89% of that goal in just two years. As reported to the Board on October 22, 2009, the BRP Citizens Finance Committee revisited its goal for lot mergers and recommended increasing it  (from 40%) to 60% of the 986 “theoretical” lots identified for potential merger by the CCSD’s consultant working with the committee during its original program work, for a new total goal of
592 lots. The next quarterly report will reflect the program’s revised goal of 592 lots.

LITIGATION UPDATE

Attached is a breakdown of litigation costs expended by the CCSD in the four active cases against the CCSD. Remember, these expenditures are limited to research of available electronic records back to 2002. Also, these are TOTAL litigation expenses, not just fiscal year expenditures. The cases are abbreviated and costs rounded as follows:
· Berge–$44,000 (up $12,000 from $32,000 in 10/1/09 GM report);
· Lindsey—$37,000 (up $11,000 from $26,000 in 10/1/09 GM report);
· Warren (Landfill)—$6,000 (up $2,000 from $4,000 in 10/1/09 GM report); and
· Landwatch (Hawley)–$35,000 (up $13,000 from $22,000 in 10/1/09 GM report).

Berge v. CCSD

A judgment from the Second District Court of Appeals is expected any day now. While Mr. Berge has busied himself contacting other public agencies around SLO County and other jurisdictions that he has been successful in his appeal against the CCSD, the court’s judgment outlining its determination has not been released. Mr. Berge has sued the CCSD five (5) times within the past decade, and the CCSD has been victorious each time.

Lindsey v. CCSD

The writ proceeding in SLO Superior Court is scheduled for a continued case management  conference on May 10, 2010. The adversary proceeding against CCSD by Joseph and Mary Lindsey in US Bankruptcy Court is scheduled for initial status conference on January 26, 2010.

Warren v. CCSD

SDRMA has expended $96,000 in defense costs for the Warren (Landfill) case. The Warren v. CCSD case has been settled and the settlement documents have been finalized among all parties. A continued case management conference is scheduled in SLO Superior Court on February 11, 2010, within which it is expected the settlement will be approved by the court.
The SDRMA will make its $5,000 settlement payment on behalf of the CCSD once all signatures are obtained on the settlement and release documents.

Landwatch (Hawley) v. CCSD

A settlement offer by Mrs. Cynthia Hawley of Landwatch was rejected by the CCSD because it was merely a repeat of the claims made in their lawsuit. The case is set for case management conference on January 25, 2010, in SLO Superior Court. The case has been reassigned to Judge Martin Tangeman.

Small Claims Court*

The CCSD was successful recently in Small Claims Court with a couple of cases filed by Barbara Owen and Dianne Kennedy against the CCSD for water damages resulting from a fire hydrant located at Wilton and Latham that was damaged on 4/20/09 by a “hit and run” driver. The court determined the CCSD is not responsible for any damages as a result of the incident.
Furthermore, the CCSD and SDRMA settled another fire hydrant matter (at Berwick and Wales on 5/31/08) before pursuing in Small Claims Court, wherein the CCSD received insurance company payments from the responsible parties for the vehicle accident damages (replacement hydrant, staff time, and materials) totaling $2,700.
*For matters in Small Claims Court, attorney appearances are not authorized; therefore, the CCSD General Manager represents the CCSD in court.

DISTRICT COUNSEL LEGAL SERVICES/LITIGATION EXPENSES

The attached spreadsheet updates the District Counsel legal services/litigation expenses paid during the first half of the FY 2009/2010 (July 1, 2009, through December 31, 2009). To summarize from my October 1, 2009, report to the Board:
§ I manage the District Counsel contract, and review and approve all invoices for District Counsel legal services/litigation expenses.
§ The contractual monthly retainer that the CCSD pays to Carmel & Naccasha for District Counsel legal services is $6,600 for 40 hours. This is offset after actual monthly services are rendered and tallied, with excess fees paid if more is due or credit balance forwarded in their next billing if there is a balance due the CCSD.
§ I work very close with the Carmel & Naccasha attorneys on the litigation  matters, and I am aware that they are extremely conscientious with their services and expenditures rendered on behalf of the CCSD. The CCSD is not the only public agency they represent during these lean economic times.
§ District Counsel legal/litigation expenses are budgeted within the “Professional Services” line item in each CCSD department.
§ FY 2009/2010 budget projections for litigation services are our “best estimates,” based upon experience from the litigation team and management.
§ Current litigation expenses are for defending actions filed against the CCSD.
The attached spreadsheet shows the FY 2009/2010 budget versus actual Costs broken down by CCSD department for “District Counsel” legal services and “Litigation” services. The analysis also reflects the YTD timing expired (July-December 2009), or 50% of the fiscal year, and the relationship between the invoiced amounts paid compared with the approved budget.
The actual “District Counsel” expenditures for general legal services for the first half of the fiscal year total $43,465, which represents 54.5% of the budgeted total of $79,800. While a bit higher than the expected 50% FY time expiration, staff believes it to be manageable within the budget projection.
Actual expenditures for District Counsel “Litigation” services total $36,627, which represents 73.3% of the budgeted total of $50,000. This is obviously higher than our “best estimate” budget projection for the FY time expired, however, one case is settled (Warren v. CCSD), and another has gone through trial and appeal, and awaiting judgment (Berge v. CCSD). Minimal services are expected to be rendered as a result of litigation closure on these matters. CCSD litigation services for the remainder of the fiscal year will primarily center on trial
preparation for the two remaining actions against the CCSD—Lindsey v. CCSD and Landwatch (Hawley) v. CCSD. With a total budget balance of $13,000 for District Counsel litigation services, staff recommends a mid-year increase of $15,000 to cover for the remainder of FY 2009/2010. The Lindsey and Landwatch lawsuits center around water related issues, item. A mid-year review of the FY 2009/2010 will occur in an agenda item today.

CYBERNET CONSULTING, INC. – SCADA SETTLEMENT

Per the Board’s Resolution 58-2009 and direction on December 14, 2009, the SCADA Settlement and Release Agreement has been fully executed and satisfied. The settlement check was delivered to Cybernet and the CCSD simultaneously received the related project documents/reports and system programming passwords/wiring diagrams.

FEDERAL ADVOCATE – VAN SCOYOC ASSOCIATES

The December monthly report from the CCSD federal advocate is attached.

MISSION COUNTRY DISPOSAL 2010 CLEANUP DAYS

Spring Cleanup is scheduled for April 26-30, 2010; and  Fall Cleanup is scheduled for September 27-October 1, 2010.
During this time, extra recycling, green waste, and garbage is allowed on a customer’s regular pickup day. Larger items such as appliances, mattresses, and furniture require advance arrangements are made with Mission Country for pickup and a nominal fee.

HOLIDAY NOTICE

CCSD administrative offices and utility field operations will be closed on Monday, February 15, 2010, in observance of Presidents’ Day. Service interruptions and emergencies may be reported by calling our 24-hour answering service at 927-6223.
