DATE: Julv 21> 1981 DEPARTMENT:DEVELOPMENTAL SERVICES Initial SUBJECT:17th SUPPLEMENT TO BASIC AGREEMENT (ENCINA) PHASE III-A EXPANSION STATEMENT OF THE MATTER The Encina Joint Powers (JAC) proposesto expand the capacity of the Encina Water Pollution Control Facility (EWPCF) from 18.0 million gallons per day (mgd) to 22.5 mgd. If approved, the expansion would be complete in 1983 at the same time the Phase III project, Carlsbad would pay 25.4% of the cost and receive' 25.4% of the capacity (1.14 mgd). The 17th Supplement authorizes the Leucadia County Water District to proceed with the design, environmental and regulatory clearances, and with construction. Funds will be included as part of the annual JAC budget. • Provisions of the 17th Supplement modify the 10th Supplement so that the Encinitas Sanitary District retroactively "buys-in" to the Phase III project. They will pay 5.56% of all non- grant funded Phase III costs. That percentage is equal to their ownership upon completion of Phase III and matches their ownership in Phase III-A. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW -..-.. The environmental review on this project will be performed by the lead agency, the Leucadia County Water District. FISCAL IMPACT Carlsbad's share of project costs ($600,000-) is approximately $150,000. The Sewer Construction Fund year end balance is $419,394. Revenue for FY 81-82 is projected at $1,552,000, making a total of $1,971,394, Anticipated Capital Expenditures at EWPCF, including this change, total $972,003 for FY 81-82. Staff will return with an Agenda Bill modifying Council appropriations to include transferring necessary funds -for the Phase III-A project to a new account.

By an agreement between VISTA and CARLSBAD, dated July 13, 1961, entitled "BASIC AGREEMENT BETWEEN VISTA SANITATION DISTRICT AND THE CITY OF CARLSBAD FOR ACQUISITION AND CONSTRUCTION OF A JOINT SEWER SYSTEM", VISTA and CARLSBAD became the owners and operators of the EWPCF. C. By virtue of Supplements and Amendments to the aforesaid "BASIC AGREEMENT", SAN MARCOS, LUECAD1A, BUENA, and ENCINITAS became parties to the "BASIC AGREEMENT". D. At the time said "BASIC AGREEMENT" was entered into, the EWPCF was designed to have a minimum capacity to receive, treat, and dispose of 3.5 million gallons average daily flow of sewage; and upon commencement of operation of the EWPCF in September 1965, it provided primary treatment for ADWT capacity of 4.50 MGD. E. By virtue of an expansion to Unit I (the treatment plant) of the EWPCF known as Phase II Enlargement, the capacity of said Unit 1 was enlarged from 6.75 MGD to 9.75 MGD, and by a further expansion to said Unit I, known as Phase IIA Enlargement, the capacity of said EWPCF was increased from 9.75 MGD to 13.75 MGD. F. ^^« expansion of Unit I of the E^^jF, known as Phase III enlargement, is currently under construction providing for an increase in capacity from 13.75 MGD to 18.0 MGD. G. The parties hereto have'agreed by virtue of a Sixteenth Supplement to the "BASIC AGREEMENT" that the rerated capacity of the EWPCF is 16.0 MGD pending completion of Phase III Upgrading and Enlargement. H. The EWPCF is presently capable of treating an average daily wastewater flow of 16.00 MGD, as well as treating solids from 20.9 MGD of wastewater flow. The peak wet weather flow capacity of said facility is 34.8 MGD. I. Phase III., Upgradi-ng and Enlargement is scheduled to be com- pleted in late 1982 at which time the present projection of population for the area served by the EWPCF will require further expansion of said facility. J. It is desirable to increase the capacity of the EWPCF (Unit I) from 18.0 MGD to 22.5 MGD to meet future flowage demands of the parties hereto. K. 'It is desirable that the construction of the facilities for increasing capacity from 18.0 MGD to 22.5 MGD be made con- currently with Phase III Upgrading and Enlargement in order that the future costs of such construction and time required for performance thereof be substantially lessened. L. It is necessary to provide for the apportionment among the parties hereto of ownership rights in the increased capacity. M. It is necessary to provide for the apportionment among the parties hereto of the costs necessary for, and attendant to, the planning, design, and construction of facilities for such increased capacity to 22.5 MGD.

CALIFORNIA 92025 AREA CODE 714 TELEPHONE 743-3022 July 2, 1981 TO ALL MEMBERS OF ENCINA JOINT POWERS Dear Enclosed please find a counterpart of the Seventeenth Supplement as last amended, and a Resolution proposed for adoption by each member agency. In order to obviate unnecessary research and to assist in bringing each member current on the matter, a brief history of the supplement is submitted. The first draft of the Seventeenth Supplement provided for reim- bursement by Encinitas upon completion of Phase 111, for 0.25 MGD secondary treatment. Some of the members were in complete accord as to such provisions. Almost simultaneously with such discord, Encinitas expressed an intent to participate in Phase 111 and 111A. A second draft of the Seventeenth Supplement was prepared and sent to all members. Section ~T) of that draft provided for reimbursement to } Encinitas for its reduction in ownership from 7.277> presently owned, to 5.5670 which it will own upon completion of Phase 111 and 111A. Promptly upon distribution of the second draft, a suggestion was submitted by a member agency that if more definitive criteria were used for the reimbursement to Encinitas, and corresponding changes were made in the Tenth Supplement, such changes would tend to make the Supplement easier to understand. Additionally, future readers of the document would have a better understanding of the rights of the parties and the basis therefor. Accordingly, inasmuch as Encinitas desires to share in Phase 111, the existing provisions of the Tenth Supplement (Sections 5,6,and 7,) relating to apportionment of costs for secondary treatment became surplusage. Therefore, the Seventeenth Supplement as presently written deletes those sections and adds a new Section 5 providing for apport ionment of the Phase 111 construction costs in the same percentage As the member's ownership upon completion of Phase 111. o TO ALL MEMBERS OF ENCINA JOINT POWERS JULY 2, 1981 Page two Also, in that Encinitas will own 5.567 of the facilities upon completion of Phase 111, as opposed to the present 7.277, in the Pre- Phase 111 Plant, it was necessary to provide an eouitable method of payment for such reduced ownership. In order to simplify that procedure, and use established facts, the value of Unit I and the land on June 30, 1980 is used in the enclosed supplement. The reason therefor is that an auditor's report is available for values on that date. The foregoing explains the changes made in Section 7 of the Tenth Supplement (previously Section 9). In addition to the above, it was necessary to make three minor changes in Section 8 of the Tenth Supplement to correct the fractions of ownership for Carlsbad, Buena and San Marcos. The Tenth Supplement shows the ownership of said entities as being: Carlsbad: 25.337 Buena: 4.557, San Marcos: 17.897 According to the Preliminary Phase 111-A Project Report prepared by Fraser, Wilson & Associates, Page 6-1, the percentages should be: CARLSBAD 25.407 BUENA 4. 597> San Marcos 17.78 The differences are minor. However, the aforesaid report recommended that the Tenth Supplement be amended to accurately reflect the owner- ship. Therefore, Section 8 (presently Section 6) of the Tenth Supplement is amended to make the recommended changes and to bring the provisions of the Tenth Supplement in accord with the 17th Supplement. As a matter of information, Mr Reid and representatives of Encinitas and Carlsbad were present and participated in the formulation of the proposed revisions to the 17th Supplement. In regard to the enclosed resolution, only one change has been made, namely, we added one recital on the second page (the second Whereas) to briefly reflect the reimbursement provisions of the Seventeenth Supplement. Provided there are any questions or comments, please advise in order that we may attempt to expeditiously resolve same. We trust that the resolution, if satisfactory, will be presented to your governing body for adoption. Very truly yours, Roy H. Gann
