Recommendation: Consider change in style of uniforms Background: The current uniform contract with Aramark expires on July 31, 2003.

The style being proposed is a flex pant (jeans) with polo shirts - gray for Production and navy for the others. Some of the issues that should be considered related to the new style are: 1) Polo shirts have short sleeves. Any employees worried about additional sun exposure would need to wear a long sleeve T-shirt, use sun screen, etc. 2) The colors requested are not safety colors. Employees would need to wear their safety vests in order to achieve the same visibility (while working in traffic) they get from their current shirts. 3) The replacement charge is about twice that of the industrial style uniforms; pants - $32 versus $16, shirts - $19 versus $13. This charge would only be applied when a garment is destroyed by circumstances beyond normal wear and tear. Examples would be large rips, paint spills, etc. 4) The weekly rental rate would be $5.50 per employee, per week, versus the $4.93 we currently pay. This results in approximately an $1,800 annual increase in our uniform expense. Two companies - Aramark and AmeriPride - were asked to give us price quotes for a 3 year contract. Each has offered to match the others offer, so service is really the deciding factor, and employees who have been dealing with Aramark have expressed a desire to make a switch. Fiscal Impact: Increase in expenditures for uniform rental of about $1,800 annually for 3 years. Committee to Elect Greg Zlotnick ACWA Vice-President 2oo4-2oo5 Tib Baiza Y.baCo..~wA June 4, 2003 s~.,o~,~,,~w^ Dear Fellow Califomia Water Leader: We are writing to urge you to join us in supporting Greg Zlotnick's candidacy for ACWA Vice-President. c.~.,.~.~,~., You may have already received a letter from Greg, laying out his qualifications "°""°"~'~"~'~'~'~' and his long history of involvement in California water policy. We enclose his ~,~ resume just in case you didn't see it before. His experience is impressive and ~ou~.~.~ his leadership abilities are reflected in the positions he has held. W~.~.~.~.n More important to us though, are not the words on the page, but rather the ~'"'~'~"""~' person they represent. We believe that Greg is the kind of leader the water jo.~.~.~,, community- agricultural and urban, inland and coastal- needs during this s~.,~..~.^ cdtical time of responding to regulatory challenges, the development of major ~.o.g legislative bonds, and the issues surrounding the relationship of water to s..,u.w~ growth. We know that Greg can help make ACWA more effective, credible and ~ ~. visible in all of these arenas. To.L.w AS a Director at the Santa Clara Valley Water District, Greg has been involved ~o..~,.v~,w~ with a tremendous vadety of issues, including water supply, water quality and Dale Mason water treatment; water banking; the Endangered Species Act; flood w,~,~o management; watershed stewardship; TMDLs; agricultural issues; groundwater ~.,~.,,., management and conjunctive use; and operation of both the State Water "~"~°'~"~""~ Project and the federal Central Valley Project. In our view, Greg is one of the Bob Neufeld D~rector most qualified and experienced people to ever seek to lead ACWA. ~..,.,~,~.~ In addition to his vast and varied experience, Greg brings a temperament and ~,~, governance philosophy that will serve us all well in ACWA. He is committed to ~,~, listening, understanding and trying to find common ground, He is not shy about C~.~...,k. asking tough questions, however. Exemplifying this commitment is Greg's ~'~ attendance at and participation in so many forums and meetings throughout the RandyPool, state since he took office at Santa Clara - whether sponsored by ACWA or ~"~"~"~ others - as well as visiting numerous agencies from Humboldt Bay to the Bernie Ehinerso~Imperial Valley. Je.nSago.spe AS agricultural, rural, inter-mountain and urban agency leaders representing ~.~,~,,~,~, every ACWA Region ourselves, we strongly believe that our interests and RodgerSiems those of every ACWA member will be best served by electing Greg as Vice- ~,~.~r~ President. We need to move beyond the corrosive perspective within ACWA ~m,,~w~. that perpetuates an "ag versus urban" mentality. Additionally, "tradition" that a ~..c~,~_.~c~,,~o~,~particular sector representative must be. elected at particular times within ~...wi.~,~ ACWA's structure puts form over function - to our collective detriment. CalifomiaWaterLeader June 4, 2003 v Page 2 ACWA leadership should be about bringing us together as a more effective whole. Greg's track record illustrates his commitment to and success in building relationships and seeking to reconcile interests in a manner that finds common ground. With respect to his being on the Board of an "urban" agency and thus disqualified from representing agricultural interests: we say bunk. Those of us in the Sacramento and San Joaquin · Valleys who have worked with Greg know that he is a strong believer in maintaining a robust agricultural economy, protecting water dghts, and seeking to grow the water supply pie for all of Califomia. Greg's breadth of experience and knowledge, and his understanding that ACWA must strive to become more cohesive in its outlook and policies, make him our choice for Vice- President, and the right choice for ensuring that ACWA is an association where the whole truly is stronger than the sum of its parts. We hope you will join us in supporting Greg. If you have any questions or comments, please do not hesitate to contact any of us or Greg directly at (650) 625-8954 or GAZatSCVWD~,aol.com.
