Re: Encina Joint Facilities - Independen^^Ll-
Management § Reorganization
Dear Mayor Frazee:
Earlier this month the Reorganization Subcommittee of the Encina Joint
Advisory Committee met to discuss the reorganization of the Joint Advisory
Committee and establishment of a separate entity. Several days prior to
the meeting, each member agency received a letter from you stating that
Carlsbad was not willing to pursue the matter of reorganization at this
time, but rather propose to first assume local operational control of the
Encina Joint Facilities with possible discussions regarding reorganization
to follow.
It is the intent of this letter to advise the City of Carlsbad that we,
the undersigned member agencies of Encina, believe that reorganization
should be discussed now, diligently pursued and consummated as soon as
possible. It should be pointed out that as member agencies we have not
agreed collectively or individually that Carlsbad or any other agency
assume the local operation of the Encina Joint Facilities prior to the
creation of a single purpose entity for administration, maintenance and
operation.
Because of the delays that have been experienced in the independent
management process, we believe reorganization can and should be accom-
plished without first assuming local operation of the Joint Facilities.
We solicit Carlsbad's concurrence with our concerns and desires and ask
that you give reconsideration to pursuing the proposed reorganization of
the Joint Advisory Committee and the establishment of a separate entity.
Yours very truly,

AB 16 - Encina
Pos i t i on :
Carlsbad continues its support of local control of the EWPCF and
urges its partners to move in that direction without delay. This ob-
jective can be changes without changes to existing agreements.
Carlsbad will not agree to creation of another special-purpose
agency within its boundaries. To create another layer of government,
not fully responsive to City Council, would only compound the diffi-
culties of managing the City's future growth.
Following the assumption of local control of the facility, Carls-
bad would agree to negotiate such changes to the existing agreements
as would give the JAC the requisite authority to manage the plant.
However, it must be understood that Carlsbad will not bargain away those
basic rights and privileges which accrue to it as one of the majority
stockholders. To do so would be inimical to the best interests of the
citizens of Carlsbad.
