Self-introductions followed. 2) Municipal Regional Permit: Tom Dalziel noted that Program staff invited Management Committee (MC) members to participate in the discussion of this item. He indicated at least one Management Committee member requested that invitations be provided earlier. Dalziel will advise MC members at their April 16 meeting to tentatively schedule Administrative Committee (AC) meetings on their calendar, as important topics regarding the negotiation for the reissuance of the MRP will continue to be discussed until a new permit is adopted. A. Reissuance Process and Timeline: Dalziel provided a Powerpoint presentation reviewing the formal reissuance process. The current MRP expires November 30, 2014. Permittees shall apply for reissuance at least 180 days prior to expiration (June 3). The Water Board issues a Tentative Order (TO) with the draft permit for public review and comment. Dalziel noted Water Board staff now anticipates release of the TO in February 2015, with a new adopted permit to be effective July 1, 2015. Steven Spedowfski asked that if the Water Board will not make the July 1 effective date, that the next effective date be January 1, 2016. From the cities perspective, it would work best on a fiscal or calendar year for budget purposes (regular or mid-year budget).
Dalziel noted that BASMAA first discussed the ROWD process and timeline last week. BASMAA is scheduled to meet on April 14 to review areas of common interest. Program staff hopes to have a draft permit application ready for initial review at the April 16 MC meeting. Throughout April, each Program subcommittee will review last year s proposed recommended changes to the MRP to verify they are still valid, and comment on the proposed ROWD draft thus far. On May 6, the AC will review a draft ROWD, with the MC hopefully approving it on May 21. This is a formal submittal, and a vote from all duly-authorized representatives will be needed. B. Application for Reissuance Report of Waste Discharge: Dalziel referred to the ROWD form and then Khalil Abusaba walked the Committee through the form instructions. Staff proposed submitting with the completed form supporting information and maps on each watershed, referring to the Integrated Monitoring Report as necessary. The Water Board will be the lead agency for CEQA purposes, and the permit will be CEQA exempt. Section 6 in the form under Other Required Information is where Program staff and consultants proposed Permittees recommendations would be tabulated. Dalziel reviewed the original table of Permittees recommendations as an example of what would be prepared. Abusaba next explained the importance of the proposed watershed maps that emphasized bioassessment data. Cece Sellgren expressed concern regarding the watershed maps, which focused the reader on the bioassessment monitoring, which is just one aspect of the Program s monitoring activities. Armand Ruby responded to her concern. The question is how the biological information can best be used. Sellgren will check with responsible parties, and talk with staff at Department of Fish and Wildlife to get more information related to her concerns. She will report her findings to the Monitoring Committee (MonCom) at its April 14 meeting. Dan Cloak noted that permittees have three submittal options: (1) just the form; (2) the form and everything else; or (3) something in between. He questioned the narrow focus of the proposed submittal. Dalziel explained that the Permittees would like to redirect some monitoring resources towards actual mitigation projects. He asked the Committee if it saw another way to accomplish this. Lucile Paquette noted that 12 or more years of monitoring have been done, so we should be able progress to mitigation. Abusaba asked the Committee for input. It was decided that Program staff and consultants would revisit the outline with the MonCom on April 14. Dalziel explained that the MRP Steering Committee (MRPSC) and Water Board staff are in agreement on the benefits of preparing a Low Impact Development (LID) White Paper discussing technical and policy recommendations for the Provision C.3 in MRP 2
2.0. BASMAA discussed sharing the costs of the White Paper work between all BASMAA-covered agencies, as it would benefit all. The project cost was $53,000 (a proposed project description, task, schedule, deliverables and budget was handed out), with Contra Costa covering 20% or $10,600. Perkins asked if there was a way to make C.3 reporting simpler. Cloak explained that if a regional database could be created, Permittees could input their data, and that may eliminate some or most of the current C.3 reporting. There was extensive discussion about the non-usefulness of reporting projects in the planning stage, which could take years to build, if at all. This is part of what s going into the White Paper. C. Provide Input and Direction: Moved/seconded (Perkins/Sellgren) to participate in BASMAA s regional work on a White Paper on Provision C.3 at a total cost of $53,000, with the CCCWP paying a pro-rata share (i.e., cost not to exceed $10,600). Dalziel explained that Cloak was one of the consultants working on the project and that Cloak s contract scope with the Program would be internally adjusted to allow for this extra work without exceeding his current total contract. Motion carried, with the Flood Control District absent. Cloak commented that the CCCWP may want to just submit the form, adding three pages of bullets on what the CCCWP Permittees want and citing references. Ruby stated that perhaps the monitoring story can be expressed a different way. The results of the MonCom discussion will be part of the MC discussion on April 16. 3) Committee Membership: Dalziel reviewed current CCCWP Program Agreement, explained the Permittee participation requirements and annual process for establishing membership on the various subcommittees. The MC Chair can accept subcommittee participation requests or can recommend modifications. There is a 5-person minimum on each subcommittee, with the Administrative Committee having a 7-member fixed rotation. The Public Information/Participation (PIP) and Monitoring committees are at the minimum level of participation. Those two subcommittees are also responsible for the largest shares of the budget. Participation on BASMAA subcommittees requires participation on the related CCCWP subcommittee. The Trash Ad Hoc Committee is voluntary. Staff is trying to find a way to make participation more equitable. Spedowfski suggested a fixed rotation, similar to the AC. The Committee discussed consequences for non-attendance. Perkins noted that most of the same people volunteer on these assignments, and are getting tired and a little discouraged that others are not stepping up. Dalziel noted that changing the minimum participation level to 7 would require a Program Agreement change, and he explained how difficult that could be. The MC Chair in the Program Agreement is authorized to make recommendations to the Management Committee regarding subcommittee assignments. Extensive discussion ensued. This will be discussed further at the April 16 MC meeting. 4) Countywide/Program GIS Platform Update: Dalziel explained staff has been busy with 3
other assignments, but will provide more information on this subject in May. Dalziel noted one next step is for Program staff to send out a request for volunteers to participate on an Ad Hoc GIS Workgroup. 5) Approve April 16, 2014 Management Committee Draft Agenda: Dalziel noted that if the BASMAA Trash Ad Hoc makes its recommendations for the Provision C.10 Annual Report section before the April 16 meeting, it will be discussed at that time. Moved/Seconded (Kwan/Feehan) to approve the draft agenda. Motion carried, with the Flood Control District absent. 6) Old/New Business: None 7) Adjournment: Chair Perkins adjourned the meeting at 11:18 a.m. Next Meeting: Tuesday, May 6, 2014, 9:30 am 12 noon, 255 Glacier Drive, Martinez, Conference Room A TD:fv G:\NPDES\Admin Committee\Minutes&Attend\13 14\AC Minutes 2014-04.docx 4

3. Actions: A. APPROVE the Integrated Monitoring Report and its Submittal to the San Francisco Bay and Central Valley Regional Water Quality Control Boards, and DIRECT the Program Manager to Sign and Certify the Submittal on Behalf of Each Permittee s Duly Authorized Representative Khalil Abusaba provided an overview of the IMR Parts A, B and C, and reviewed comments submitted and responses to the comments. Questions were asked and answered. Abusaba acknowledged Richmond s concerns about the Part A Executive Summary, and that there was not enough time for full synthesis. Abusaba indicated any needed clarifications for additional information or synthesis could be provided in the Report of Waste Discharge (ROWD) due on June 3 to the Water Boards. Chris McCann expressed concern about Program funding of future capital projects. McCann noted the North Richmond Pump Station Pilot Diversion Pilot Project is an appropriate Program expenditure, as the results of that project will be of benefit to all Permittees. Abusaba indicated that Part C clarifies the role of the CCCWP funding for capital projects. It also explains the Management Committee s role in funding decisions. Moved/Seconded (L. Hoffmeister/Sellgren) to: (1) approve the Integrated Monitoring Report; (2) have the transmittal cover letter refer to the upcoming Report of Waste Discharge; and (3) direct the Program Manager to sign and certify the submittal as noted in the recommendation.

Diablo Mercury Mine problem for 15 years. In 2009, EPA and the Central Valley Water Board (CVWB) took action, identifying the mining companies responsible Page 2
for past pollution, and subsequently issuing the Cleanup and Abatement Order (CAO). Clean up activities were in progress until last month. The companies are now appealing the CAO, claiming they were incorrectly identified as responsible. The CVWB will conduct a hearing on the matter on March 27. There is an opportunity for interested parties to provide comments to the CVWB by this Friday, March 14. The draft comment letter before the Committee asks the CVWB not to modify the CAO. Moved/Seconded (L. Hoffmeister/McCann) to approve the comment letter as written.

Regional Board Staff Comments/Reports: Regional Board representatives were not in attendance. 4. Presentations: A. Pesticide Action Plans Implementation Update: Nick Laurrell reviewed the outreach activities to date. The Petstercide campaign, which focuses on protecting the health of children, pets and family, is piloting in South and West County stores with Our Water Our World (OWOW). He summarized the campaign surveys (small sample of 30), noting that results are trackable/reportable, which should help meet Municipal Regional Permit (MRP) requirements. Tabling activities will begin soon. If successful, they will be rolled out to a wider audience. Page 2 of 8
The My Green Garden.com website project has had many visitors; generally positive. This outreach method is targeting Do-It-Yourselfers looking for different types of solutions to garden pests. Tanya Drlik, County Integrated Pest Management Coordinator, reviewed the tips. Laurrell previewed static copies of the web pages. This project is driven by crowdsourcing, encouraging ideas to be spread to the community (like Yelp). Photographs can be uploaded to the site. The hope is that 200-300 people would eventually refer to the website for information. Laurrell noted that this project addresses the requirement to change behavior, which is mandated in MRP Provision C.7.b. Dalziel reminded everyone the MRP requires two campaigns (one of trash and the other of pesticides). The trash campaign was completed, and now we re trying to meet the pesticide requirement. Stephen Prée asked who will manage site, and Laurrell noted two levels of filters (automatic and SGA). Prée discussed the IPM Ad Hoc Workgroup members concerns about the website (i.e., the effectiveness of the tips, inability to control what people say on the website, the existence of other sites with scholarly and scientifically IPM etc.). A lengthy discussion ensued. Laurrell reminded committee members the intent of the website is to engage Do It Yourselfers, increase awareness regarding less toxic pesticide alternatives, and to change behaviors in the target audience. Laurrell noted that on Saturday, a tabling/pilot event will be held at the Urban Farmer in Richmond, with a wide launch in April (see presentation for details), followed by pesticide outreach in July or August. Other outreach-related tasks are to build a responsive website that can be easily accessed through mobile devices and build positive relationships with media. The Committee discussed using the Community Calendar, the need for more timely and relevant stormwater related informational articles, stories, and press releases. B. Assembly Bill 2403 to Modify the Definition of Water Under Proposition 218 to Specifically Include Recycled Water and Stormwater Intended for Water Service: Mitch Avalon met with Assembly Member Rendon s staff (the author of the bill) to discuss how AB 2403 may benefit Permittees. Under this bill, the definition of water would be modified to include recycled water and stormwater intended for water service. If this bill passes, then stormwater mitigation projects that use stormwater runoff for water service could be exempt from the voter requirements of Proposition 218. Questions were asked and answered. Avalon will provide updates regarding this bill in the future. Dalziel noted that a letter of support may be brought before the Committee for consideration in the future. Page 3 of 8
5. Actions: A. Approve the Administrative Committee s Recommendation to Approve BASMAA s Draft Fiscal Year 2013/14 Annual Report Form and its Submittal to the San Francisco Bay and Central Valley Regional Water Quality Control Boards by the April 1 Deadline; and, Direct the Program Manager to Sign and Certify the Submittal on Behalf of Each Permittee s Duly Authorized Representative: Dalziel explained that section C.10 (i.e., Trash Controls) would be considered at a later date. Moved/Seconded (L. Hoffmeister/P. Hoffmeister) to approve the Annual Report forms, not including Provision C.10, and direct the submittal as recommended. Ayes: 21 (Cities/Towns of Antioch, Brentwood, Clayton, Concord, Danville, El Cerrito, Hercules, Lafayette, Martinez, Moraga, Oakley, Orinda, Pittsburg and Pinole via e-mail, Pleasant Hill, Richmond, San Pablo, San Ramon, Walnut Creek, Contra Costa County, Contra Costa County Flood Control and Water Conservation District via e-mail) Noes: None Absent: None Abstain: None B. Approve the Administrative Committee s Recommended Final Proposed Fiscal Year 2014/15 Group Program Budget for a Total Cost Not to Exceed $3,019,998, and to Carryover of Unspent Fiscal Year 2013/14 Group Activities Budget: Dalziel noted the only change in this final draft is $1,800 for CASQA BMP handbooks. He explained the carryovers, reserves, and contingency fund, and cautioned that at the current rate, reserves will be exhausted in 2017-18. Moved/Seconded (L. Hoffmeister/Samkian) to approve the final budget as presented. Ayes: 18 (Cities/Towns of Antioch, Brentwood, Clayton, Concord, Danville, El Cerrito, Hercules, Lafayette, Martinez, Moraga, Oakley, Orinda, Pleasant Hill, Richmond, San Pablo, San Ramon, Walnut Creek, Contra Costa County) Noes: None Absent: Pinole, Pittsburg, Contra Costa County Flood Control and Water Conservation District Abstain: None C. Consideration of Senate Bill 270 Prohibiting Single-Use Carryout Bags: Beth Baldwin summarized the bill. Local ordinances adopted prior to September 2014 would not be affected. Page 4 of 8
Laura Hoffmeister noted that the minimum State charge is 10 cents a bag with no maximum limit. Perkins mentioned that 10 cents is enough to change behavior. Walnut Creek approved their bag ban with no exemptions (e.g., restaurants, senior citizens, and certain retailers) on March 18. It allows 9 months for restaurants to comply. The City determined the project was subject to a categorical exemption under CEQA. Moved/Seconded (Sellgren/L. Hoffmeister) to direct staff to write a letter of support for the legislation as presented. Baldwin will send the letter to cities, so they can send their own letter if they wish. Ayes: 18 (Cities/Towns of Antioch, Brentwood, Clayton, Concord, Danville, El Cerrito, Hercules, Lafayette, Martinez, Moraga, Oakley, Orinda, Pleasant Hill, Richmond, San Pablo, San Ramon, Walnut Creek, Contra Costa County) Noes: None Absent: Pinole, Pittsburg, Contra Costa County Flood Control and Water Conservation District Abstain: None D. Approve the Administrative Committee s Recommendation to Send a Comment Letter on Assembly Bill 1504: Baldwin summarized the bill and explained the reasons for a neutral letter. Extensive committee discussion ensued about the merits of the bill. P. Hoffmeister recommended that CCCWP stay with a neutral stance on AB 1504, but stronger language be added to the letter. He noted that Water Board (WB) staff has commended that the full-trash capture devices Permittees are required to install must be fitted with a screen size that is capable of trapping cigarette butts. He recommended a statement to this effect be included in the letter. Moved/Seconded (P. Hoffmeister/Prée) to approve the letter with appropriate language as discussed. Ayes: 16 (Cities/Towns of Antioch, Clayton, Concord, Danville, El Cerrito, Hercules, Lafayette, Martinez, Moraga, Oakley, Orinda, Pleasant Hill, Richmond, San Pablo, Walnut Creek, Contra Costa County) Noes: Brentwood, San Ramon Absent: Pinole, Pittsburg, Contra Costa County Flood Control and Water Conservation District Abstain: None Page 5 of 8
E. Approve the Contra Costa Clean Water Program HMP Proposal in Accordance with Municipal Regional Permit (MRP) Provision C.3.g., Attachment C.6 and Its Submittal to the San Francisco Bay and Central Valley Regional Water Quality Control Boards; and, Direct the Program Manager to Sign and Certify the Submittal on Behalf of Each Permittee s Duly Authorized Representative: Dan Cloak explained the HMP requirements, which are specific to Contra Costa. An IMP Monitoring Report was submitted with the September 15, 2013 Annual Report. A HMP proposal to inform the next MRP is required April 1, 2014. Cloak explained the content of the HMP proposal letter and its references to the ongoing regional discussions specifically focused on development of HMP requirements for the Bay Area in the next MRP. Question were asked and answered. 6. Reports: Moved/Seconded (L. Hoffmeister/P. Hoffmeister) to approve the HMP Proposal, and direct the submittal as recommended. Ayes: 21 (Cities/Towns of Antioch, Brentwood, Clayton, Concord, Danville, El Cerrito, Hercules, Lafayette, Martinez, Moraga, Oakley, Orinda, Pittsburg and Pinole via e-mail, Pleasant Hill, Richmond, San Pablo, San Ramon, Walnut Creek, Contra Costa County, Contra Costa County Flood Control and Water Conservation District via e-mail) Noes: None Absent: None Abstain: None A. Update on the Ad Hoc Trash Workgroup and Long-Term Trash Load Reduction Plans: The Ad Hoc Trash Workgroup met on March 3. Baldwin reported WB staff expressed disappointment with the tentative long-term commitments made in the long term plans, and with the lack of sufficient visual assessments in high trash generating Trash Management Areas (TMAs). Baldwin also reported that Walnut Creek and the County will participate in the Proposition 84 grant survey. Regarding Trash Tracker, SFEP will make a presentation to the CCCWP at its May 5 Trash Ad Hoc meeting. Dale Boywer, WB staff, indicated that LID is an acceptable full-trash capture device. The MRP Trash Steering Committee will determine how to come up with the 40% trash reduction mandate. If using softer methods, use more visual observations. WB staff wants more information on street sweeping. Agencies that have plastic bag bans today can take an 8% trash reduction credit. Boywer is scheduled to be at the April 7 Trash Ad Hoc Workgroup meeting. Extensive Committee discussion about reaching 40% reduction. WB staff wants everyone to show significant progress in reducing trash in the high trash generating TMAs. Baldwin mentioned that the C.10 portion of the Page 6 of 8
Annual Report would likely be organized by TMAs. The form will be distributed to Permittees as soon as it is available. Permittees were strongly encouraged to move forward with activities in high trash areas. B. Municipal Regional Permit Reissuance: Dalziel reported that the MRP Steering Committee (MRPSC) met on March 6. The Committee received an update on the Green Streets Workgroup and the continuing discussions on the approach to addressing mercury/pcbs. Cloak reported that on the Green Streets Workgroup, everyone sees potential benefits, but it has become bogged down with C.3 issues, such as discussion regarding banking credits, which will not likely generate the significant revenue needed for retrofits. Cloak noted the driver for Green Streets is the TMDLs. Funding for transportation infrastructure retrofits is problematic and will require support from MTC decision-makers, and state and federal legislators. Randy Iwasaki, CCTA Executive Director, has been important in focusing WB staff in this regard. The Workgroup has been discussing the need to hire a consultant to assist in this effort. This would cost approximately $100,000, spread over all 73 BASMAA agencies. Extensive Committee discussion ensued. Mercury/PCBs: Dalziel indicated discussions continue on the 15-month reconnaissance project in which stormwater programs and municipalities will conduct surveys of their older industrial and urban areas to identify potential future TMDL mitigation projects. The CCCWP staff and consultants will be working with Permittees next year on field surveys. C.3 White Paper: Cloak explained the purpose and content of the Low Impact Development (LID) White Paper, which will provide technical and policy recommendations for MRP 2.0. The White Paper will support the need to focus future efforts on ensuring LID facilities are properly constructed, maintained and operated, and understood by the community. Other proposed changes (included in the agenda packet) were noted. C. Subcommittee/Work Group Headline News Administrative: Budget is done, Countywide GIS to be discussed. Development: C.3 white paper for BASMAA. Monitoring: Integrated Monitoring Report done, Report of Waste Discharge to be discussed, monitoring activities for Spring, RFQs for technical support and monitoring distributed and Monitoring Committee will be involved in the process. PIP: Pesticide campaign continuing, Community Calendar input solicited, presentation from OWOW received. Page 7 of 8

Monitoring Committee Meeting Minutes March 10, 2013 MUNICIPALITY ATTENDED ABSENT City of Antioch Phil Hoffmeister County Flood Control District Michele Mancuso Cece Sellgren City of Pittsburg Alfredo Hurtado City of Richmond Lynne Scarpa City of San Pablo Karineh Samkian, Jen Jackson Program Staff: Tom Dalziel, Lucile Paquette, Fan Ventura Program Consultant: Khalil Abusaba (AMEC) 1. Introductory Remarks: Vice Chair Hoffmeister called the meeting to order at 10:03 a.m., followed by self-introductions. Tom Dalziel introduced Lucile Paquette, the new Watershed Management Planning Specialist and staff liaison to the Committee, and provided some background on her experience. Dalziel asked to add Mt. Diablo Mercury Mine to the agenda; the Committee agreed. 2. Approval of Minutes: Moved/Seconded (Samkian/Scarpa) to approve the February 10, 2014 minutes. Item passed unanimously. 3. Integrated Monitoring Report: The IMR is due on March 15. Khalil Abusaba explained Parts A, B and C, the process for CCCWP approval and submittal to the Water Boards, and handed out revised Parts A and C, with a Response to Comments. Land use maps are coming from the County GIS team. Old urban/industrial areas have been identified. Chris McCann s comments are addressed at end of the Response to Comments. Lynne Scarpa asked about her comments. We need to reference why things are being deleted. Abusaba still has a punch list of things to do. Karineh Samkian was surprised at the lack of comments from permittees. Abusaba indicated that this isn t the last iteration; this is just to meet MRP requirements for now. He envisions additional discussions with permittees between now and the Report of Waste Discharge in May. There was extensive discussion about permittee discussions by watershed, by city. There is now more data since the Watershed Atlas was made in 2003. A template suggested by Paquette is a good idea. We may need more engagement and details between Program staff and permittees to engage permittees in knowledge of their own watersheds. Dalziel noted that impervious surface does impact watersheds. Problems and costs associated with PCBs might be too large if viewing at a whole watershed level. We may want to address one issue at a time, within what we can afford. Abusaba discussed how a thorough watershed-by-watershed approach might be beneficial. 1
Paquette asked that comments on how educating permittees and others should be sent to her, so that IMR review can continue. Abusaba noted that we know what the creek status monitoring is telling us. The question is why should we keep doing this monitoring? SWAMP program fees are used for non-urban creeks. Samkian argued for the SWAMP studies to be eliminated. Dalziel explained that monitoring activities help building the story about the creeks. To address this, we will need to find additional review. Abusaba noted that this is a political issue, and it is reasonable to ask the Water Board when will we be done with monitoring? Extensive discussion ensued. A CCCWP request to reduce monitoring (in spite of CC having a storehouse of historical data) may be impacted, because the other county programs may not be as far along as CCCWP and Santa Clara. Committee discussion included: the 5-year RMC timeframe; the baseline is just a snapshot in time, we have a continuum over 13 years; human disturbance parameter unofficially added to monitoring protocol through suggestion by field WB staff to RMC field crews; goal to monitor two sites a day including extra parameters within the budget; asking what are the State s and local jurisdiction s needs (required), versus what is extra work, added through scope creep. Cece Sellgren joined the meeting. Addressing McCann s comments on the IMR: All things being done now benefit all permittees. The CCCWP has been assisting Richmond, and cannot take ownership of real estate or a project. Dalziel will go to Public Managers Association on Thursday to discuss the CCCWP s and permittees stormwater issues and challenges. He thinks Danville may balk at participating in capital improvements that benefit all permittees. Joe Calabrigo, Danville Town Manager and MRP Steering Committee member, prefers that compliance issues be pushed back onto property owners. There was further Committee discussion on: viewing all regional pollutant issues; BASMAA participants being non-committal; preference towards regional projects where everyone can share in the credit; TMDL compliance may ultimately be impossible, but non-governmental organizations want permittees to keep working on it; focusing on the worst sites to get them to manageable levels; taking an approach with PCBs and mercury similar to that for trash. Abusaba indicated that Part A needs explicit tie backs to documents, per Scarpa s comments. Dalziel explained the next steps in the approval and submittal process. Permittees can e-mail approval, if desired. The Responses to Comments document was also review and discussed. 2
Moved/Seconded (Samkian/Scarpa) to recommend approval of the IMR. Item passed unanimously. 4. Mt. Diablo Mercury Mine: Dalziel reported that the Central Valley Water Board had issued a clean-up and abatement order to two responsible parties (RPs). Those parties are now requesting to be released from the order, claiming they were incorrectly identified as RPs. This may be a legal tactic to stall compliance. A hearing on the matter will occur in late March. He will research the details. The CCCWP can draft a letter on behalf of all permittees, asking the RPs be held to the order. Alfredo Hurtado asked if the site wasn t already designated as a Federal EPA clean-up site. Abusaba noted this issue is important to the State for liability purposes. 5. Review Draft Request for Qualifications: (Khalil Abusaba left the meeting before this discussion.) Dalziel explained that the 3-year normal terms for AMEC and ADH Environmental will expire on June 30. County rules require a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) or Request for Proposal (RFP) if consultant services are still needed. Due to additional time needed to complete the SSID study (weather-related), staff will request the ADH contract be extended to December 31, 2014. New contracts from this RFQ will be for one year, and can be extended for two additional one-year terms, depending on performance. Paquette distributed a list of potential consultants that may be contacted. Hurtado noted that this was the same process used before. Dalziel reviewed the draft timeline for acquiring consultant services. Samkian reminded the group that only staff should be handling the RFQ. Committee members were asked to provide comments on the draft RFQs to Paquette by the end of the day. 6. Adjournment: 11:56 a.m. Next Monitoring Committee Meeting: April 14, 2014, 10:00 a.m.-12 noon, Conference Room B, 255 Glacier Drive, Martinez, CA 94553 G:\NPDES\Monitoring Committee\Minutes-Attendance\13-14\Monitoring Committee Minutes 2014-03.docx 3
DRAFT Public Information/ Participation Committee Meeting Minutes March 26, 2014 MUNICIPALITY ATTENDED ABSENT City of Antioch City of Pittsburg City of Richmond City of Walnut Creek Contra Costa County Flood Control & Water Conservation District Julie Haas-Wajdowicz, Chair Laura Wright Lynne Scarpa Rinta Perkins Dan Jordan, Vice-Chair Program Staff: Tom Dalziel, Deanna Constable Program Consultant: Nick Laurrell (S. Groner Associates, Inc.) 1. Introduction of New Staff/Announcements: Chair Haas-Wajdowicz opened the meeting at 10:10 a.m. Dalziel gave out copies of the final group program budget for Fiscal Year 2014/15, which was adopted on March 19, 2014. 2. Approve the February 26, 2014 Draft Summary Meeting Minutes: Moved/Seconded (Rinta/Scarpa) to approve the minutes with the two revisions brought up by Lynne Scarpa. Motion carried (All ayes). 3. MRP 2.0 Update: Dalziel stated that the Report of Waste Discharge (ROWD) is due June 3rd. The MRP Steering Committee (SC) hasn t met to talk about C.7 yet. He gave out a handout with the Committee s recommendations from last year, and asked if they could look it over and let him know if they still agreed with their recommendations or had more to add or subtract from the list. He felt that it would be important to have the Committee s suggestions ready for when the MRP SC talked about C.7, especially as there were some agencies that didn t want anything to change. The Committee again approved their prior recommendations. 4. Moving Forward with SGA A. Petstircides Campaign Update: Laurrell stated that SGA received 50 surveys during their time in front of the Urban Farmer. He s going to stores like Sloat s in Danville to continue looking for more stores to use for the piloting of the campaign. Scarpa said that when she went into Urban Farmer, the staff there didn t seem to understand the campaign, but the manager did. Laurrell said that he understood that and was working on a short pitch to give to store staff to help with their understanding. Scarpa and Haas-Wajdowicz both thought it would be a good idea to have cities
representatives go to the stores in their area to reinforce the Petstircides message. B. MyGreenGarden.org: Laurrell stated that the website will be up and running in two weeks. He shared that Kathy Kramer has agreed to provide pictures to the site. Laurrell also stated that while it was too late to have an ad about the website in the Bring Back the Natives tour booklet, SGA plans giving out information about the website. C. Youth Outreach: Haas-Wajdowicz spoke about going to the movies in her area to do outreach. There was a Green Screen use discussion. It was noted that there should be three complete sets of Green Screen kits. The Committee discussed putting the tearsheet on Groupsite. D. Hire Eco Certified Campaign: Laurrell asked whether we could promote specific certified pest companies. The Committee said no. The Committee directed him to put the whole list on the website, but not to highlight any one company (no cherrypicking ). E. Management Committee Presentation Recap: Laurrell made his presentation to the Management Committee at their March 19 th meeting. 5. MyGreenGarden Tip Check-In: The Committee discussed where they were with tips, and it was decided that Laurrell would take the Bay-Friendly Mulching handout and write the tip on mulching to finish the tips. There was a discussion about the comments made by the IPM Ad Hoc Workgroup at the Management Committee meeting who seem to continue to be concerned by this website creation. Scarpa noted this website is a garden thing instead of a specific pesticide thing. 6. Excal Visual Stormwater Public Outreach/Education Videos: The Committee discussed the merits of the videos and whether it would be beneficial for the Program itself, or to recommend them to the Permitees. Laura Wright had shared that her city had bought and used one of their videos on stormwater and found it was not something that could stand on its own for training, but could be used as an addition to basic information. It was noted that the videos are not California, MRP, Bay Area-specific, which is essential to any meaningful information the Permittees are looking for in training videos; therefore, it was decided that the Committee could not recommend buying the videos either for a Program lending library or for Permittees. Deanna Constable will contact the two Permittees who had asked for the Committee s input on the videos. 7. Discussion of Earth Day Event and Information Sharing: Short discussion of April 26 th as the day that most will be celebrating Earth Day. The Committee discussed if an article needed to be written and decided that they would rather look beyond Earth Day, at this time. Laurrell reminded the Committee that SGA was given resources by the Program for general outreach, so that could be used for SGA to write articles. It was discussed that Laurrell and SGA would write an article about the East Bay Sustainable Challenge, three seasonal articles, and two articles about drought and excessive rain issues. 8. For the Good of the Order/Roundtable: Wright shared that the regional campaign for G:\NPDES\PIP_PEIO\Minutes&Attendance\13-14\PIP Minutes 2014-03 DRAFT2.docx 2
branding has died. Dalziel thanked her for her work on the campaign. Perkins informed the Committee that Walnut Creek passed the plastic bag ban and will next try to ban polystyrene. 9. Adjournment: The meeting was adjourned at 12:01 p.m. Next Meeting: Wednesday, April 23, 2014, 10:00 am 12:00 noon, 255 Glacier Drive, Martinez, Conference Room A G:\NPDES\PIP_PEIO\Minutes&Attendance\13-14\PIP Minutes 2014-03 DRAFT2.docx 3
