Recent updates from Governing Board
The General Manager responded to Mt. View's consolidation questions while directors reported on WEFTEC and regional meetings.
Why it matters: Consolidation with Mt. View would reshape sewer service governance; staff aims to substantially complete a consolidation study this fiscal year.
Risk staff reported declining claim counts but rising costs, five active lawsuits, and counsel warned inverse condemnation claims may spike.
Why it matters: Legal costs pushed liability claims past $500,000, and an expected El Niño could drive more landslide-related inverse claims against the District.
Staff reported permit compliance, recycled water, capital and AI milestones and previewed a cost of service study to set sewer rates.
Why it matters: This fiscal year's objectives include a cost of service study setting sewer service charges and a Mt. View consolidation study, both affecting ratepayers.
The ninth academy drew 44 applicants and 27 participants; a director urged holding a future session in Lamorinda.
Why it matters: The academy is the District's flagship public-education effort, now with 252 alumni, and is cited toward its customer-engagement strategic goal.
Directors deadlocked over limiting facility naming to organizations and directed staff to return with three policy versions for full-board decision.
Why it matters: Determines whether Central San can honor individual employees or directors with named facilities; any naming already requires a 4/5 board vote.
Directors unanimously approved minutes, a larger SDI Presence software contract, a new remote-meeting disruption policy and revised investment rules without discussion.
Why it matters: Raises the permitting-software contract ceiling about 44% to $279,630 and implements state SB 707 rules for interrupted remote meeting access.
A retiring development engineer credited board-backed leadership and work-life programs, and her successor Graham Goodwin was welcomed.
Why it matters: Highlights succession in the District's land-development permitting function and staff testimony on programs like the Leadership Academy and mentorship.
After no reportable action from Sept. 17, the board recessed to discuss an inspection-appeal lawsuit and the General Manager's evaluation.
Why it matters: Both matters—litigation over District Inspection No. 1786632 and the GM's performance review—could produce later reportable actions.
