Stat "lent of t h a f1att:r
This item is being presented for Council consideration in order to
comply with recent Air Pollution Control District rulings concerning
gasoline vapor control ruling.
In the basic Agenda Bill staff was directed to file application by
April 1, 1974 with San Diego County APCD. The staff filed two (2)
applications and the San Diego County granted permission to construct
(Exhibit A). The City is ready to proceed with the lease -maintenance
contract with Environics, Inc.
The City recognizes: that budgeted vehicles for 1975 will require un-
leaded gasoline; that present gasoline tank capacity needs to be in-
creased; and that accountability of gasoline should be provided.
Utilizing City employees, all these items can be installed by City
forces if the current budget for vapor control devices is increased
from $6,000.00 to $11,500.00, The additional $5,500.00 for gasoline
facility remodeling could come from the Revenue Sharing Reserves in
which the vapor control devices is allocated from, thereby requiring
no fund transfer.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Public Works Administrator
FROM: Utilities/Maintenance Director
SUBJECT: City Gasoline Facilities
The City is currently about to install vapor control devices
on its gasoline storage and pumping facilities. The City has
an approved "Authority To Construct Vapor Control Devices"
from the County of San Diego. The Requisition fo'. the vapor
control devices and the Agenda Bill for Council approval has
been prepared for your consideration.
There has been related problems with the gasoline facilities
which need to be resolved prior to installation of the vapor
control devices. First, the City has in its 1974-75 Budget
requirements for nine (9) new police vehicles, plus other
vehicles. The new Police vehicles will effect the gasoline
facilities, due to the fact that the new Police vehicles will
have a requirement for unleaded gasoline, which the City has
no facilities for and also it will place an additional burden
on the gasoline facility at City Hall which is at near capacity
for effective utilization.
The second problem concerns accountability. With the price of
gasoline increasing, the accounting of usage of the gasoline
becomes increasingly important.
The third problem is that the tank capacity of the City Hall
gasoline facility is only 1000 gallons, which has been stated,
is now at full utilization.
The fourth problem is that one of the pumps at the City Yard
is old and need of replacement.
To solve these problems we have outlined several options that
the City could take and investigated each option. The options
were:
1. Reconvert City Hall gasoline facilities to 5000 gallon tank
utilizing private contractor and add the costs to the Vapor
Control lease contract.
2. Reconvert the City Hall and City Yard gasoline facilities
utilizing City forces.
3. Provide new vehicles with gasoline credit cards.

4. Provide all vehicles with gasoline credit cards.
In investigating the first option the proposal provided by
the Environics, Inc. was an additional $5,495.00 for install-
ation of a new 5000 gallon gasoline tank at City Hall. This
was rejected because of thehighcost and the fact it would
only solve one of our problems.
In investigating credit card use, it was found that there are
no twenty-four (24) hour stations available in Carlsbad and
with the uncertain situation concerning fuel, we could not
obtain a firm contract from a local dealer. The credit cards
would also increase the fuel costs to the City where as we
pay 43� a gallon for gasoline and the station prices are well
over 50�.
In investigating utilizing City employees to do the work of
converting both gasoline facilities, we found that the Mobil
station at Elm Avenue and Madison, which has gone out of busi-
ness, will sell the City three (3) 5,000 gallon gasoline tanks
for $1,133. We would test the tanks prior to acceptance. We
also found that we could resolve the problem of accountability
by purchasing two (2) new gasoline pumps with devices that re-
cord the gasoline used and identifies the vehicle by use of a
special key issued to each vehicle. The cost of the pumps with
special accounting devices is $3,413.00. Therefore, for about
$6,000 total cost the City could have at both gasoline facili-
ties an enlarged gasoline capacity, new pumps, and accountability.
We have also investigated the cost of the vapor control device
lease for the remainder of this fiscal year. The City has al-
located $6,000 in the Budget for Vapor Control. The cost of the
interest for leasing has in the meantime increased, but due to
the fact that we have not signed the contract we have saved sev-
eral months of payments. The contract, if signed this September
will cost the City about $5,500 for the remainder of the fiscal
year.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
1. That City forces install the used tanks (5,000 gallon) at
both City Hall and City Yard.
2. That new pumps (Model 55) with Printrol Devices be installed
by City employees at City Hall and City Yard (one each).
That the gasoline facility at City Hall be used only for un-
leaded gasoline when we receive the new Police vehicles.
4. That an additional $5,500 be allocated to cover the cost of
the installation of new pumps, tanks, and miscellaneous ex-
penses connected with the installation.

5. That the funding be authorized from the Revenue Sharing
Contingency Funds since the vapor controls are being paid
for out of Revenue Sharing. This would require no transfer
of funds, just an approval to utilize the funds.

This includes the $6,000.00 already budgeted for vapor
control devices. 1
