    1. Monthly report on District operations and maintenance: The monthly report is self explanatory. Reported on work done on the odor control drain. The fill material level is decreasing and Mr. Landi wanted to check the condition of the line to make certain the material was not getting into the collection system. The line is in good condition and fill material will be added.

    1. SFPUC – annual billing and rebate calculations: There was a meeting yesterday between the Engineer, Counsel and Tom Gilbert of Meyers-Nave.
    2. Geosyntec – Brisbane landfill: They will need to apply for a renewal of their industrial discharge permit. Construction is probably eight weeks off.
    3. PG&E MSC groundwater discharge: There hadn’t been any discharges for several months so Mr. Yeager contacted PG&E and was advised they haven’t been discharging due to unacceptable Ph levels. They expect the discharge to be complete in about one year.
    4. Consideration of Brisbane waiver: At the last meeting the Board approved a waiver and Engineer Yeager sent a letter to Brisbane. There is still a question of the fee for granting the waiver.
