Orange County Sanitation District
FROM: James D. Herberg, General Manager
Originator: Rob Thompson, Director of Engineering
SUBJECT: NEWPORT FORCE MAIN REHABILITATION, PROJECT NO. 5-60
GENERAL MANAGER'S RECOMMENDATION
Approve Amendment No. 1 to the Professional Consultant Services Agreement with
Brown & Caldwell to provide construction support services for Newport Force Main
Rehabilitation, Project No. 5-60, for $251,610 increasing the total amount not to exceed
$2,483,535.
SUMMARY
The Orange County Sanitation District (Sanitation District) experienced a break in its
West Lido Force Main in November 2014. The break is adjacent to existing project
work being performed by Project No. 5-60, Newport Force Main Rehabilitation. The
related nature of the work, urgency of the repair, and proximity of the work led staff to
recommend that the 5-60 engineer and contractor be used to repair/refurbish the Lido
Force Mains not already in the project Scope of Work.
The purpose of this project is to rehabilitate the Newport Force Main system located on
Pacific Coast Highway in Newport Beach between the Bitter Point Pump Station and
Dover Drive. The West Lido Force Main and East Lido Force Main are part of the
Newport Beach Force Main System as noted in the 2006 Collection System
Improvement Plan Program Environmental Impact Report, but were not part of the
Scope of Work for the 5-60 Newport Force Main Rehabilitation project.
On November 1, 2014, a break in the West Lido Force Main was reported just south of
the Newport Channel. The West Lido Force Main was immediately taken out of service
(placed off-line). The Lido Pump Station is currently conveying flow solely through the
existing East Lido Force Main into the Newport Force Main system via the recently
constructed pipe and tunnel beneath Pacific Coast Highway. Due to the connection
configuration and the remaining construction work on the 5-60 Newport Force Main
Rehabilitation Project, the West Lido Force Main requires repair by September 2015.
Brown & Caldwell furnished engineering services for the design of Project No. 5-60, and
is currently providing engineering support services during construction. The Sanitation
District's Lido Pump Station conveys wastewater from the Newport Beach peninsula
through two Lido Force Mains to the Newport Force Main System currently in the
construction phase in Project No. 5-60.
Page 1 of 3
This Amendment will authorize Brown & Caldwell to design the pipe repair/rehabilitation,
hydraulic modeling to verify capacity with the proposed repair, oversee subcontractors
for land surveying, geotechnical assessment, traffic control design, and utility location
for rehabilitation of both the East and West Lido Force Mains.
PRIOR COMMITTEE/BOARD ACTIONS
April 2014 — Approved a Professional Consultant Services Agreement with Brown &
Caldwell for engineering services for Newport Force Main Rehabilitation, Project
No. 5-60, for an amount not to exceed $2,231,925; and, approved a contingency of
$178,554 (8%).
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
The West Lido Force Main was installed in 1986 and consists of approximately 900
linear feet of ductile iron pipe (DIP) and polyethylene pipe (PE). Approximately 300
linear feet of the total 900 linear feet installed under the Newport Channel is PE. While
this pipe has been placed off-line, the Sanitation District had the pipe cleaned and
inspected by camera. The PE pipe under the channel appears to be intact. The DIP
portion has significant corrosion.
The East Lido Force Main was installed in 1999 and consists of approximately 800
linear feet of lined and coated DIP based on as-built drawings. Approximately 500
linear feet of pipe is installed above ground along retaining walls and the Newport
Boulevard Bridge deck. The remainder of the pipeline is installed underground. A
preliminary assessment shows exterior corrosion. Since the pipe is in service, the
interior is not able to be inspected.
CEQA
The Newport Beach Force Main System including Newport Force Main Rehabilitation,
Project No. 5-60, is within the scope of the Program Environmental Impact Report
(PEIR) for the Collection System Improvement Plan, SCH# 2006101018, certified in
June 2007. Pursuant to CEQA Guidelines section 15168(c)(4), the Sanitation District
prepared an addendum to the PEIR to cover sections that needed further analysis; air
quality and greenhouse gas emissions which was not included in the original PEIR. The
Board adopted Addendum No. 2 to the Collections PEIR on March 26, 2014. After
reviewing the facts and analyzing the circumstances, staff has determined that these
issue areas are not substantial changes since the certification of the Final PEIR for the
Collection System Improvement Plan.

BUDGET/PURCHASING ORDINANCE COMPLIANCE
This request complies with authority levels of the Sanitation District's Purchasing
Ordinance. This item has been budgeted (FY2014-15 & 2015-16, Section 8, Page 36)
and the budget is sufficient for the recommended action.

The proposed schedule included in Attachment D assumes District GM approval on
January 20, 2015 and notice to proceed on January 26, 2015. The schedule was
developed with input from the 5-60 Contractor to coordinate lining of the West Lido 24"
siphon with the 5-60 contract work near the bike trail near the southbound PCH to
Newport Blvd off ramp(CIPP Pit#28) by late April 2015. However, in order to meet this
deadline,the final design must start and be performed concurrently with the CIPP
Feasibility Technical Memorandum. The proposed schedule reflects final design to be
completed by late April 2015.
This letter fee proposal includes the following attachments:
1. Attachment A- Revised Scope of Work(Revised 01/14/15)
2. Attachment B - Approach to Scope of Work and Assumptions

I. SUMMARY
Provide professional engineering services for preparation of a cured in place pipe (CIPP)
Feasibility Technical Memorandum (TM) and CIPP final design for the project described herein.
II. GENERAL PROJECT DESCRIPTION AND PROJECT ELEMENTS
This work includes preparing a CIPP Feasibility TM and CIPP final design for rehabilitation of
the West and East Lido Force Mains (FMs). On November 1, 2014, a break in the existing
West Lido FM occurred just south of the Newport Channel. Subsequently, the West Lido FM
was immediately taken out of service (placed off line). Currently, the Lido Pump Station is
conveying flow solely through the existing East Lido FM into the 5-60 Newport Force Main
system via the recently constructed pipe and tunnel beneath Pacific Coast Highway.
Since the West Lido FM is currently out of service, rehabilitation is required for the West Lido
FM. The West Lido FM must be commissioned and placed back in service and connected to
the south barrel of the Newport Force Main system by the date provided in Part III, Project
Schedule, or sooner if possible. This work is critical to the progress of the ongoing 5-60
construction work and must be coordinated with Project 5-60. Once the West Lido FM is
rehabilitated and commissioned back into service, the East Lido FM shall then be taken off line
and rehabilitated.
The existing Lido FM system consists of two parallel, interconnected pipelines. The Lido FM
includes five valves (C-00563 and C-00566 through C-00569) located just north of Lido Pump
Station (north of the intersection of Short Street and Newport Boulevard. A brief description of
each FM provided below:
• The West Lido FM was installed in 1986 and consists of approximately 900 linear feet
of 24-inch diameter ductile iron pipe (DIP)and polyethylene pipe (PE). Recent cleaning
and closed circuit television (CCTV) inspections performed by District contractors
confirmed the approximately 300 linear feet of PE pipe material under the Newport
Channel is in good condition.
• The East Lido FM was installed in 1999 and consists of approximately 800 linear feet of
16-inch and 20-inch diameter lined and coated Class 53 DIP based on as built
drawings. Approximately 500 linear feet of pipe is installed above ground along
retaining walls and the Newport Boulevard Bridge deck. The remainder of the pipeline is
installed underground. Recent limited ultrasonic testing (UT) performed by OCSD's
Corrosion Group (Div. 740) on some of the above ground portions of the pipe indicate
the pipe is in good condition with adequate pipe thickness remaining in the pipe.
Based on the recent inspection and testing data on the West and East Lido FMs and high level
preliminary screening of rehabilitation and replacement technologies, it was agreed that CIPP
was the most feasible option to rehabilitate the Lido FM system with some open cut required
for pipe tie-ins and valve removals, consistent with work being performed under Project 5-60.
SCOPE OF WORK(01114/15) Project No.5-60 West/East Lido Force Main Rehabilitation
Page 1
The work is comprised of the following Project Elements:
Project Element 1: Rehabilitation/Replacement of approximately 600 linear feet of 24-
inch DIP existing West Lido Force Main north and south of the Newport Channel. North
limit is the 5-60 termination point and the south limit is just south of the Lido Pump
Station valve complex located north of Short Street, excluding Project Element 2.
OCSD contracted forces recently drained, cleaned and inspected the West Lido FM via closed
circuit television (CCTV)video to understand the extent of the degradation of the pipe.
The break in the ductile iron pipe (DIP) pipeline was located on the south side of the Newport
Channel. The pipe condition at the break in the ductile iron pipe (DIP) pipeline was severely
corroded with very little pipe thickness remaining at the crown. This portion of the DIP requires
immediate rehabilitation/replacement. No additional forensic or condition assessment work is
required for this project element.
Project Element 2: Rehabilitation/Replacement of approximately 300 linear feet of 24-
inch PE existing West Lido Force Main installed under the Newport Channel
The length of the pipeline underneath the Newport Channel is approximate 300 linear feet.
OCSD cleaned and inspected this portion of the pipe and confirmed its material was PE.
This pipe was reported to be in good condition based on visual CCTV. There are access
points at the break point and on the other side of the channel near the termination of the 5-60
work. No additional forensic or condition assessment work is required for this project
element.
Project Element 3: Rehabilitation/Replacement of approximately 800 linear feet 20-inch
DIP of existing East Lido Force Main installed underground and suspended below the
Newport Boulevard Bridge deck
The existing East Lido FM shall remain in operation until the West Lido FM is rehabilitated and
placed back in service. The design effort for both force mains shall proceed simultaneously.
OCSD Corrosion Group (Div. 740) perfumed limited ultra sonic(UT)testing on portions of the
exposed East Lido FM pipe. Results indicate the pipe is in good condition. However, OCSD
has noted minor exterior corrosion missing nuts and bolts on the pipeline suspended from the
Newport Boulevard Bridge. No additional forensic or condition assessment work is required for
this project element.
This scope of work was developed based on the following assumptions:
• The CIPP lining work described herein shall be performed as an amendment to the
existing contract for Project 5-60 Construction Support Services.
• The construction work for the CIPP lining will be performed by the 5-60 Contractor
under the existing construction contract as a field change order(FCO). Therefore, front
end (Contract Agreement, General Conditions, Special Provisions, and General
Requirements) portions of the 5-60 Construction Documents are still applicable. New
front end documents will not be required.

Orange County Sanitation District
FROM: James D. Herberg, General Manager
Originator: Rob Thompson, Director of Engineering
SUBJECT: FINAL EFFLUENT SAMPLER AND BUILDING AREA UPGRADES,
PROJECT NO. J-110, AND SITE AND SECURITY IMPROVEMENTS AT
PLANT NO. 2, PROJECT NO. 132-96
GENERAL MANAGER'S RECOMMENDATION
A. Approve an increase in the budget for Final Effluent Sampler and Building Area
Upgrades, Project No. J-110, by $1,203,000 for a total project budget of
$15,973,000;
B. Approve a decrease in the budget for Site and Security Improvements at Plant
No. 2, Project No. P2-96, by $1,203,000 for a total project budget of$252,000;
C. Receive and file bid tabulation and recommendation;
F. Award a construction contract to Shimmick Construction for Final Effluent
Sampler and Building Area Upgrades, Project No. J-110, and Site and Security
Improvements at Plant No. 2, Project No. P2-96, for a total amount not to exceed
$9,716,000; and
G. Approve a contingency of$485,800 (5%) for the combined projects Final Effluent
Sampler and Building Area Upgrades, Project No. J-110, and Site and Security
Improvements at Plant No. 2, Project No. P2-96.
SUMMARY
Project No. J-110 is for the rehabilitation of existing facilities at Plant No. 2 and
encompasses diverse categories of work:
• Demolish the final effluent sampling and ocean monitoring trailers and one storage
building, make subsurface improvements, and construct a new final effluent
sampling pump station and building with a small laboratory area.
• Rehabilitate the large diameter final effluent outfall pipelines including the land
section of the short-ocean outfall pipe, junction structures and large valve boxes
associated with the final effluent pipelines, and Surge Tower No. 1.
• Replace two buried natural gas pipelines, remove and replace asphalt paving,
retrofit a small storm water pump station, replace a bubbler system and air supply
piping, provide water and power connections for the landscape and irrigation
improvements, and install other miscellaneous items.
Page 1 of 3
Project No. P2-96 constructs landscaping and irrigation improvements in the vicinity of
Project No. J-110 and along the eastern property line of Plant No. 2.
These projects were bid together as one contract since the work is predominately in the
same location. Project No. J-110 provides power and water connections, and close
coordination of project schedules are required. Additionally, an administrative savings
can be realized by managing the construction of the two projects together as one. The
total for all bids were over the sum of the Engineer's Estimate and the Construction
Project Budget for Project Nos. J-110 and P2-96. The Project No. P2-96 portion of the
bid is only$300,000. Allocating project funds from Project No. P2-96 to Project
No. J-110 will be sufficient to provide funding for the construction, commissioning, and
closeout phases, and will also allow the tracking of costs through the construction
related phases to be simplified by only using Project No. J-110 project budget.
The design work for Project No. J-110 was completed by Atkins and the design work for
Project No. P2-96 was completed by BGB Landscape Architects.
The Orange County Sanitation District (Sanitation District) advertised for bids on
October 1 and October 6, 2014. Three sealed bids were received on
December 2, 2014. The bids were evaluated in accordance with the Sanitation District's
policies and procedures. Shimmick Construction was deemed the lowest responsive,
responsible bidder.
The total bid amount was higher than the sum of the Engineer's Estimate. However, the
individual project bid for Project No. J-110 was higher than budgeted, while the bid for
Project No. P2-96 was lower than budgeted. A budget increase for Project No. J-110 is
being recommended, along with a commensurate decrease in budget for Project
No. P2-96, to keep the overall Capital Improvement Program budget unchanged.
Summary information regarding project budget and bid costs is as follows:
J-110/P2-96
Project Budget $16,225,000
Construction Contract Budget $ 9,235,164
Engineer's Estimate $ 8,831,000
Lowest Responsive, Responsible Bid $ 9,716,000
High Bid $10,362,750

Shimmick Construction $ 9,716,000

PRIOR COMMITTEE/BOARD ACTIONS
September 2014 - Approved a budget increase of $706,000 for Final Effluent Sampler
and Building Area Upgrades, Project No. J-110, for a total budget amount of
$14,770,000.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
N/A
CEQA
A Notice of Exemption was filed and recorded on May 5, 2008.
BUDGET/PURCHASING ORDINANCE COMPLIANCE
This request complies with authority levels of the Sanitation District's Purchasing
Ordinance OCSD-44. This item has been budgeted (FY 2014-15, Section 8, Page 73
for J-110 and FY 2014-15, Section 8, Page 123 for P2-96). The J-110 budget was
increased in September 2014 by Board approval.
Reallocating $1,203,000 from P2-96 project budget into the J-110 project budget is
sufficient for the recommended action. Project No. P2-96 and Project No. J-110 will
both be funded through the J-110 budget for the construction, commissioning, and
closeout phases. There is no change in the overall Capital Improvement Program
budget.

PROJECT NO.P2-96
Page 1 of 7
In lieu of substitution of securities as provided above, the CONTRACTOR may
request and OCSD shall make payment of retention earned directly to the escrow
agent at the expense of the CONTRACTOR. At the expense of the
CONTRACTOR, the CONTRACTOR may direct the investment of the payments
into securities consistent with Government Code §16430 and the CONTRACTOR
shall receive the interest earned on the investments upon the same terms
provided for in this article for securities deposited by the CONTRACTOR. Upon
satisfactory completion of the Contract, the CONTRACTOR shall receive from
the escrow agent all securities, interest and payments received by the escrow
agent from OCSD, pursuant to the terms of this article. The CONTRACTOR shall
pay to each Subcontractor, not later than twenty (20) calendar days after receipt
of the payment, the respective amount of interest earned, net of costs attributed
to retention withheld from each Subcontractor, on the amount of retention
withheld to ensure the performance of the Subcontractor. The escrow agreement
used by the escrow agent pursuant to this article shall be substantially similar to
the form set forth in §22300 of the California Public Contract Code.

obligations under the Contract that the CONTRACTOR has failed to
perform, and;
4. Other sums that OCSD is entitled to recover from the CONTRACTOR
under the terms of the Contract, including without limitation insurance
deductibles and assessments.
The failure of OCSD to deduct any of the above-identified sums from a
progress payment shall not constitute a waiver of OCSD's right to such sums or
to deduct them from a later progress payment.

alleged contribution thereto. In addition to the foregoing and in accordance with
Civil Code§9358 OCSD may also satisfy its duty to withhold funds for stop
payment notices by refusing to release funds held in escrow pursuant to public
receipt of a release of stop payment notice executed by a stop payment notice
claimant, a stop payment notice release bond, an order of a court of competent
jurisdiction, or other evidence satisfactory to OCSD that the CONTRACTOR
has resolved such claim by settlement.

for Final Payment. Claims fled with the application for Final Payment must
be otherwise timely under the Contract and applicable law.
3. Within a reasonable time, OCSD will review the CONTRACTOR'S

changes, and shall submit the revised application for Final Payment. Upon
acceptance by OCSD, the revised application for Final Payment will
become the approved application for Final Payment.

Final Payment, and no Claims remain unsettled within thirty (30) calendar
days after Final Acceptance of the Work by OCSD, and agreements are

amounts of the open claims, and one hundred twenty-five percent (125%)
of the amounts of open stop payment notices referred to in article entitled

Section 2: Procedure for Consideration of Demands for Corrective Action.
A. Requirement of Written Demand. Prior to any person commencing a
judicial action for injunction or mandamus to declare any action taken by the Board void
because of failure to observe Brown Act requirements, such person must first serve
upon the Clerk of the Board a written demand describing the alleged violation and
demanding corrective action. Such demand must be served upon the Clerk of the
Board within thirty (30) days of the complained of action. Failure to serve any such
demand within this thirty (30) day period shall result in the loss of any right to challenge
any action to have been taken in violation of Sections 54953, 54954.2, or 54956 of the
California Government Code.
B. Consideration of Corrective Action. Upon receipt of such a demand,
consideration of the demand shall immediately be placed on the Agenda for the next
meeting of the Board of Directors. If the demand is received less than seventy-two (72)
hours prior to the time set for the next meeting, the Board may determine that the notice
constitutes the initiation of litigation, and that the need to take action on the threatened
litigation arose subsequent to the posting of the Agenda, and may consider it at that
meeting pursuant to Section 1(J) above. A description of any item so placed on the
Agenda shall include both consideration of the demand, and the possibility of corrective
action by the Board.
In considering such demands, the Board shall first determine, by motion,
whether corrective action should be taken. If no motion to take corrective action is
carried, the Clerk of the Board shall inform the demanding party in writing of the Board's
decision not to cure or correct the challenged action.
C. Implementing Corrective Action. If a motion to take corrective action
passes, the Chairperson may entertain a motion implementing corrective action. Any
motion implementing corrective action shall address the concerns raised in the
OCSD 15-01-11
consideration of corrective action. The motion implementing corrective action may
include a motion to rescind prior action taken, as appropriate. Passage of a motion to
rescind invalidates prior action only as of the time of the passage of the motion, and not
from the date of the initial action. A motion implementing corrective action resulting
from a written demand is out-of-order if the action complained of (a) was in connection
with the sale or issuance of notes, bonds, or other evidences of indebtedness, or any
contract, agreement, or incident thereto; or(b) gave rise to a contractual obligation upon
which a party has, in good faith, detrimentally relied. In any event, the Board shall notify
the party making the demand in writing of its decision to take corrective action, and shall
describe any corrective action taken. This notice shall be given to the demanding party
as soon as possible after the meeting, but in no event more than thirty (30) days after
receipt of the demand.Section 3: Resolution No. OCSD 10-06 is hereby repealed.
Section 4: This Resolution shall become effective immediately.

Orange County Sanitation District
2015 Legislative Plan
Introduction
The Orange County Sanitation District(OCSD) recognizes the need for an active state and federal
legislative advocacy program to ensure that the interests of the ratepayers and the Board of Directors
are protected.Towards that end,the legislative team monitors activities in Sacramento and
Washington, D.C. and takes appropriate action in support or opposition of legislative initiatives.
Each year,the Board of Directors adopts a legislative plan,which is a summary of OCSD's goals, key
issues and policy positions.The following legislative policies have been developed by OCSD staff and
legislative advocates in consideration of OCSD's member agencies and policy needs.These Board-
approved policies serve as OCSD's official positions of support or opposition on issues of importance to
the agency.The legislative plan is a dynamic document,adopted annually and changing to meet the
needs of the Board.
The legislative team, in conjunction with the Board, may take appropriate action consistent with the
legislative plan, including, but not limited to, drafting letters, lobbying legislators and staff and crafting
bills.
Procedure for Taking Positions on Bills
1. Staff will track bills of greatest interest to OCSD, particularly those that fall within the goals and
objectives identified by the Board of Directors.Staff will monitor bills being watched by similar
agencies in Orange County(IRWD,SOCWA,OCWD, MWDOC,etc.)as well as state,federal and
national associations such as California Association of Sanitation Agencies(CASA),the California
Special Districts Association (CSDA)and the Association of California Water Agencies (ACWA)
and National Association of California Water Agencies(NACWA).
2. For those bills that are being tracked,where there is clear policy direction stated in the Board-
adopted legislative plan or adopted goals,staff can send letters and give direction to the
lobbyists to advocate that position.
3. Where a particular issue is not urgent,all legislative letters will be hand-signed by the Chair or
Vice-Chair. If a matter is urgent, staff may use the electronic signature,so long as a clear policy
direction exists.
4. When a bill does not fall within the scope of the legislative plan or is a politically controversial
issue,staff will seek direction from the Legislative and Public Affairs Committee.
S. If a bill does not fall within the scope of the legislative plan, but the California Association of
Sanitary Agencies(CASA),the California Special Districts Association (CSDA)or the National
Association of Clean Water Agencies(NACWA) has an adopted position,staff may follow this
position but must inform the Legislative and Public Affairs Committee of such action at the next
regularly scheduled meeting.

SUMMARY
The MOUs between OCSD and the Supervisor Group and Professional Group
bargaining units that became effective on July 1, 2010 expired on June 30, 2013. The
District and the Supervisory and Professional Management Group (SPMG) began the

a period of 21 months, during which time 16 proposals were exchanged.
On December 17, 2014, the Board of Directors directed the Chief Negotiator to make a
counter proposal to SPMG including a three-year contract with 0% salary increase in
the first year, 2% in the second year, and 2% in the third year. OCSD delivered this
counter proposal to SPMG on December 13, 2014. SPMG's membership ratified the
proposal by majority vote on January 12, 2015.
The key points include the following:
• Salary Increases (3-Year Cost: $2.42M, all-inclusive of benefits) - 0% in Year
1; 2% in Year 2; and 2% in Year 3, for an average of 1.3% annually.
• Medical Reopener - Parties agree to reopen negotiations in February 2015
regarding health insurance carrier and/or plan design changes in order to
achieve cost containment.

Orange County Sanitation District
FROM: James D. Herberg, General Manager
SUBJECT: SALARY RANGE ADJUSTMENTS FOR EXEMPT LEVEL
CONFIDENTIAL EMPLOYEES
GENERAL MANAGER'S RECOMMENDATION
Adopt Resolution No. OCSD 15-03, entitled, "A Resolution of the Board of Directors of
the Orange County Sanitation District approving Salary and Benefit Adjustments for
Unrepresented Exempt Confidential Employees for Fiscal Years 2013/2014, 2014/2015
& 2015/2016:'
SUMMARY
Confidential employees perform duties and responsibilities that support OCSD
management with labor relations. Confidential employees are not represented by a
bargaining unit and meet directly with the General Manager regarding terms and
conditions of employment.
The work and duties performed by exempt level confidential employees aligns with that
of employees in the Supervisor Group and Professional Group bargaining units;
however, due to their job duties in support of the labor relations program, confidential
employees are not represented by a bargaining unit. Therefore, though they are in
separate groups, unrepresented exempt level confidential employees' wages and
benefits have historically aligned with represented employees' negotiated wages and
benefits in the Supervisor Group and Professional Group.
The General Manager is proposing the following salary adjustments for exempt level
confidential employees that align with represented employee wages and benefits.
• Salary Increases (3-Year Cost: $101 K) - 0% in Year 1; 2% salary increase in
Year 2; and 2% salary increase in Year 3, for an average of 1.3% annually.
Additionally, exempt level confidential employees are committed to reconvening at a
later date with the General Manager to discuss health insurance carrier and/or plan
design changes in order to achieve cost containment.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
There are currently thirteen (13) exempt level confidential employees at OCSD in five
(5) classifications. Confidential employees are those employees who, with authorized
access, assist and act in a confidential capacity to and for persons who formulate,
determine, and effectuate management policies with respect to labor relations. Exempt
level confidential employees hold the following classifications:
Clerk of the Board
Human Resources Analyst
Senior Human Resources Analyst
Principal Human Resources Analyst
Human Resources Supervisor (no current incumbents)
Secretary to the General Manager
Confidential employees are not represented by a bargaining unit; instead confidential
employees represent themselves as a group in informal discussions with OCSD's
General Manager regarding wages, hours, and other terms and conditions of
employment. The General Manager recommends the following changes:
• Salary
o Year 1 — 0% Salary Increase.
o Year 2 — 2.0% Salary Increase, effective the first pay period of July 2014.
o Year 3 — 2.0% Salary Increase, effective the first pay period of July 2015.
The cost of the salary increase for exempt confidential employee classifications is
approximately $101 K over the three-year period.
The proposal for exempt level confidential employees also includes a commitment to
reconvene with the General Manager at a later date to discuss potential medical carrier
and/or plan design changes in order to achieve cost containment.
