RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Adopt Resolution No.(D,$b3 approving agreement with Lake Calavera Hills Associates (LCHA) which provides for:
1) transfer of treatment plant to city;
2) $2.9 million credit to LCHA for future sewer connection fees:
3) lifting sewer moratorium in Calavera Hills.
BACKGROUND:
On December 26, 1979 City entered into agreement with LCHA for con- struction of a 1.2 mgd waste water treatment plant. The agreement provides that LCHA will build a 500,000 mgd plant to serve its needs (2704 EDU) and oversize that plant by 700,000 mgd (3625 EDU) to provide capacity for others. The agreement further provides that upon completion and acceptance of the plant, the City will take over operation and maintenance. In addition, City agrees to reimburse LCHA for the cost of oversizing the plant. Reimbursements will be paid from connection fees which will be collected from sewer hookups in the Lake Calavera Hills area.
The plant was scheduled to be built in two phases: Phase I - treat-
ment plant, force main, effluent disposal line; Phase I1 - water
reclamation facility.
CURRENT SITUATION
Phase I was substantially complete in January, 1981 except for the
construction of an effluent disposal line (EDL) from Calavera Hills
to Encina. Completion of the EDL has been complicated by the following:
1) LCHA has been unable to obtain easements between El Camino
2) An archaelogical site has been located along the EDL align-
3) Construction interest charges on the project are accumulating
4) The LCH treatment plant is not currently needed due to the
Real and Palomar Airport Road.
ment which requires environmental review.
at the rate of $1,200 daily.
fact that Encina JAC continues to have unused and projected capacity to support construction growth rates.
It was therefore, felt that completion of the LCHA plant could be deferred to a later date if a satisfactory settlement could be reached.
On April 8, 1981, LCHA wrote to the City Manager proposing a
settlement. Negotiations have been underway since that time to work out terms which would be fair to both sides.
AB# 6731 MTG. 9-8-81 Page 2
The proposal now before the City Council contains the following
conditions: New agreement to be effective October 1, 1981.
Existing agreement (12/29/79) to be cancelled.
City to receive title to all land, pipelines and
facilities constructed to date.
City to agree to finish the LCHA plant.
LCHA to retain right to finish the EDL if City does
not complete.
City to give LCHA $2.9 million credit toward future
sewer connection fees in Calavera Hills (PDP-2).
The first 1,000 EDU's in Calavera Hills to be charged
$1,000 per EDU.
Connection fees for units beyond the first 1,000 to be
the "going rate" set by City Council.
Sewer moratorium to be lifted in Calavera Hills.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Under the 1979 agreement, City has no obligation to spend any money.
All costs are the responsibility of LCHA. Upon completion and acceptance of the plant, City will collect connection fees from
3625 EDU's and reimburse LCHA over a 20 year period.
Under the proposed settlement agreement, City assumes obligation
to complete the plant at an estimated cost of $2 million.
will collect and retain connection fees from 3625 EDU's - current
value $3.6 million. These connection revenues will be placed in
the Sewer Construction Fund and used to finance sewer and water reclamation projects as needed.
$2.9 million credit .granted LCHA represents the actual expenditure
to September 30, 1981. Of that total $2,604,423 was verified by a
special audit conducted by Conrad & Associates as of June 30, 1981.
To the audited amount was added the following:

ANALY S IS
Favorable action by Council will stop the escalation of interest
charges which now amounts to $32,000 monthly. The City assumes
a risk and liability to complete the plant but also gains control
of the project and can integrate the Calavera Hills construction
program into the total city sewer program.
In 1979 the situation was different from today. We then had a
sewer moratorium, 10% interest rates, a high demand for new
housing.
Today we do not need the Calavera Hills plant for sewer capacity
and the reclaimed water program is not economically feasible. In
the future as development occurs and the economic situation
changes, the City Council can complete the plant and put it into service as needed.

2, That ECB was not asking the City to RgLta,rantee* the
availability of sewer but, ratherp was asking the City ta reserve capacity for LCR in the Lake: Cslavora Bills plant when it became aoailablc.
While we recognize the elarkfiad prapcrsiil jk en httempt st z more balanced resolution of the situatisn, ft is still. not something
that the City Council Cornittea or my cdfica is prsptred to recomertd , It still requires the Cr'..ty tra assunto substantial
construction and financing abligations for the CQrrrpbetion of the facility while returning to LCH, in conncctiorr Pees a& reim- bursements, funds in excess of your investrrtmt: to date in the
plant,
Howeverp we are prepared to of€er two ~ltcrnztivc sc?futions to the problem, One element cornon to L~J~I~I both is an agreemerit tcr
relieve ECH from its obligations to construct the water reclama-
tion portion of the system (Phase 11)- The City would propose to treat water reclamation as part of a ci. ty-wiii;e integrattrci system,
When and if the City detepmines it is necessary to add water
reclakatian capacity at the Lake Calavera Hills plant it wot:lcl he
financed on a city-wide basis as a part: of tts overall program, . This change would. relieve LCB of appruxirmtely F;$QO,OOQ of its current obligations,
ALTERNATIVE--COMPLETE EBL
- In addition to agreeing to delete BhE:se I'd, the first alternative involves a minimum of change to the existing zgreemcnt, The
proposal is as follows:
1, Delete LCAPs obligation to complete Phase 11,
2, Continue the provisions of the existing agreement except as modified by this proposal, ..
. 3, The City will accept the facilities constructed by LCII to
date, Construction interest on the funds used to construct those facilities to cease.
4, LCH will promptly and expeditiously complete construction of the EDL line. The City will assist LCH in any necessary
condemnation of the right-of-way f.or the EDL line,.

5. A mutually agreeable estimated completion date will be estah- lished for the EDL line. Construction interest on t-ha funds necessary to build the EDL line will. cease its of the &greed estimated completion date.
This alternative has the advantage of giving LCED the benofits of its bargain under the terms of the original Sgrearnent r;r& ensures to the City and LCH that capacity in the CaXaveta nills pbnnt: will be available since the City will receive a fully functioning

FOR CONSTRUCTION OF A 1.2 MILLION GALLON CAPACITY
SEWAGE TRFRTMENT AND WASTEWATER RECWATION FACILITY AND
NECESSARY APPURTENAKCES AND TO PROVIDE FOR THE FINANCIKG AND REIMBURSEMENT FOR COSTS OF OVERSIZING THEREOF. --
€R -, 19 79 This agreement is made this 2 hfk day of. D EcEEmfi
by and between the City of Carlsbad, California, a municipal
corp0rati.m (hezeinafter called "City") and Lake Calavera Hills
Associatxs, a Ca!,j.fornia partnership (hereinafter called "Developer") .
RE C I TAL S:
A. Developer wishes to develop for residential and other
purposes certain parcels of property described in the Lake
Calavera Hills l.lase;cr Plan (MP-lSO(A)) as approved by the City
Councj.1 j-n Ordinance No. 9571, on file with the City and incorpor- I.
ated by reference (hereinafter called. "Cal.avera Hills") .
<
B.
of City for provision of sewex service to Calavera Hills by
Developer wishes to comply with-and satisfy requirements
constructing and dedicating to City a satelli.tc sewage treatment
and wastewater reclamation facility.
C. The public facilities element of City's General Plan
requires, among other things, that sewage treatment capacity be
available before development occurs. Presently no sewer facility
exists with capacity to service Calavera Hills. If sufficient
'sewer capacity is not available for proposed-development, the
required finding of consistency with the City's General Plan
cannot be maze and Zevelopment cannot proceed. Construction of c
.! c .. this. satellite sewage treatment sild wastewater reclamation facility
would satisfy the requirements of the General Plan for provision
of sewage capacity concurrent wikh need for the development. In
addition Chapters 18.05 and 21.49 of the Carlsbad llunicipal Code
prohibit development unless sewzgc treatment capacity is available.
D. To ensure the health, s&fcty and welfare of the citizens
of Carlsbad it is necessary that the satellite sewage treatment and
wastewater' reclamat.ion facility built by Developer he of sufficient
capacity to provide sewage treatxent service to development other
than Calavera Hills.
.E. A portion of the capacity of the sewage treatment and
wastewater reclamation facility to be constructed by.Developer will
*. . be used by Calavera IIi1l.s. The remainder of the cepacity will be
used by development othcr than Glavera Hills- c .. -
F. Devcloper desires to be reimbursed for sums expended to
oversize the sewage trcatrnent and wastewater reclamation facility
to serve development otl-ier than Calavera Hills. The City has
I determined that the public interest is served by construction of
the satellite sewage treatment and wastewater reclamation facility
by Developer. The public interest is further served by reimbursement
to the Developer by those who will use the plant other than Calavera
Hills of the costs' of oversizing. However, Developer recognizes,
that because of factors yet unknown, there is no assurance he will
receive the full amount of the reimbursement or even any portion
thereof.
G. Developer desires to have reserved for Calavera Hills'
(32) -2- c
.- . ..... I -.
.-
' certaAn rights to ut lize capac,ty in the sewage zeatment facility
* without payment of a sewer connection fee for plant capacity.
Without such reservation of capacity, Developer would not
enter into this agreement. However, both City and Developer
recognize that City has an obligation to serve the best
interest and meet the needs of all residents, present and
future, in the City. Developer recognizes that its rights
to capacity must be subject to the City's obligation to all
City's residents. Therefore, Developer's rights to reserved
capacity in the plant will be limited to a proportionate
share based or, a ratio of projected developnent in Calavera
Hills to projected developmant in the entire area to be
served by the plant. Reserved capacity'rights are established
by Sections 3 and 5 herein, -. -.
H. 'Developer recognizes that utilization of capacity
in the sewage treatment and wastewater reclamation facility shall
be subject to all existing or future planning, zoning, building
or other ordinances which the City Council in its discretion
imposes to regulate the location, quality, quantityi pace or
other aspects of development on a city wide basis.
I. By Resolution No, 5871 the City Council, of City,
approved a Precise Development Plan for the development of
the sewage treatment facility and all necessary appurtenances.
Resolution No. 5871 is on file with the City and is
incorporated herein by reference. This agreemerit implements
that resolution. Subject to the provisions of Section 9.R.,
,

ratio of gallons of'water to acres of land should be as
follows:
* -
3,000 gallons to one acre of agricultural land, or
800 gallons to one acre of landscaped land per
day.
This ratio may be adjusted by the Planning Director to
accommodate particular locations, soil types and plants.
8. Any plan required by Condition No. 7 shall be submitted to the Planning Director for approval. Approval of the plan
by the Planning Director shall con-stitute acceptance of
the plan by the City. In approving the plan, the Planning
Director shall give primary consideration to systems
where the land using the reclaimed water is either near
the recharge basin or served by gravity flow fron the
water reclamation system, in order to conserve energy
required for pumping. Approval by the City shall not constitute a claim to or a guarantee for availability
of reclaimed water. YII~~LUL~~G C- .. ..

The Honorable City Council of the City of Carlsbad, California
We have examined the Statement of Costs Claimed by Lake Calavera
Hills Associates applicable to the Waste Water Treatment Plant,
construction period interest, cost of connection to the Daon line,
cost of the reversible force main from the plant to El Camino Real
and cost of the effluent disposal line from the plant to El Camino Real street in Carlsbad, California for the period from December 26,
1979 to June 30, 1981 and teste? the financial transactions, accounts, reports and related supporting documentation. Our examination was made in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards, and, accordingly, included such tests of the accounting
records and such other auditing procedures as we considered
necessary in the circumstances.
As a result of our examination certain costs were found to be
overstated and are identified as suspended costs in the statement of costs claimed and audit results. In addition, certain costs have been listed as questioned costs. The determination as to whether such costs will be allowable will be made by negotiation between the City Council of the City of Carlsbad and the General Partner of Lake Calavera Hills Associates.
In our opinion, subject to the effects, if any, of the ultimate
resolution of the questioned costs, the accompanying statement of
costs claimed and audit results for the period December 26, 1979 to
June 30, 1981 presents fairly the costs of the Waste Water Treatment
Plant, construction period interest, cost of connection to the Daon
line, cost of the reversible force main from the plant to El Camino

Accountinu Policies
Description of Project
On December 26, 1979 the City of Carlsbad entered into an
agreement with Lake Calavera Hills Associates for construction
of a 1.2 million gallon capacity sewage treatment and waste water reclamation facility and necessary appurtenances within the City of Carlsbad. The project as defined in the contract is not fully complete. The accompanying statement of costs claimed includes no estimates of costs to complete the project at June 30, 1981. The accompanying statement of costs claimed
includes those costs claimed for construction of the waste water treatment plant, the reversable force main from the plant
to El Camino Real Street and the effluent disposal line from
the plant to El Camino Real Street in Carlsbad, California.
Also included in the statement of costs claimed is an amount
for interest during the construction period and cost of
connection to the Daon line.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying statement of costs claimed has been presented on the accrual basis of accounting.
Costs Suspended
Costs suspended represent overstatements of costs due to costs identified with other projects, clerical inaccuracies or duplication of costs. Amounts reflected in the statement of costs claimed as suspended costs are considered to be
nonchargeable to the project.
Costs Questioned
Costs questioned represent costs claimed which the auditor was
unable to determine the validity and/or acceptability thereof. The ultimate determination as to the allowability of costs
questioned will be made by negotiation between the City Council of the City of Carlsbad and the General Partner of Lake
Calavera Hills Associates.

For the Period December 26, 1979 to June 30, 1981
Amount
The site grading costs included an amount paid to
Accurate Gunite for an invoice dated June 9, 1980 with the description "Equestrian Trail and terrace drain - 1;420 I.F. @ $6.45"
This cost is questioned as to the necessity of an eques-
trian trail at the Waste Water Treatment Plant.
Amount questioned
Design Costs
Included in design costs is an amount of $10,000 which
was paid to the City of Carlsbad as a reserve for con-
sulting fees for proper application for reclamation
outfall and sewage treatment.
This cost is questioned as it is not known whether all
or a portion of this reserve will be refunded to Lake Calavera Hills Associates.
Amount questioned
Amounts paid to Irvine Soils Engineering totaling
$10,692 are questioned for two reasons. One reason is
that the invoices are dated from May 15, 1977 up to
January 21, 1978 which is from 31 months to 23 months
prior to the date of the agreement of December 26, 1979.
The second reason is that there were three separate pro-
posals in the files which were dated in this same time period and which were submitted by Irvine Soils Engi-
neering. One proposal dated April 25, 1977 was to
perform percolation testing at four locations in the
Lake Calavera Hills Development area. Another proposal
was to perform a hydrogeologic investigation for Lake
Calavera Hills Development to determine the suitability
of the downstream area to accept the proposed sewage
effluent and to determine the possibility that effluent
might surface downstream. The third proposal dated May 26,
1977 was for preliminary soils and geologic investigation
of the 100+ acres located near proposed Elm Avenue and
Tamarack Avenue, Lake Calavera Hills Development.

LAKE CALAVERA HILLS SEWAGE
TREATMENT PLANT
Project Description
The design of the LCH facility is based on the extended aeration variation of the activated sludge process utilizing comminution, mechanical aeration, secondary clarification, effluent chlorination, aerobic digestion and a sludge belt press for sludge dewatering. A plot plan of the treatment plant is attached.
Raw sewage flows through the influent flow metering channel as it enters the plant and continues on to the headworks. There
the sewage' passes through either the comminutor or a stationary bar screen. The comminutor is a grinding and shredding unit designed to reduce in size the bulky material contained in sewage. This component is necessary to facilitate the dispersion of solids in the aeration basins and helps prevent the clogging of pumps and valves. '
flow periods. Complementing this unit is the standby bar screen located in the adjacent channel at the headworks. The bar screen
is utilized to screen out rags and other solid material during periods of extended power outage, comminutor failure, and comminutor failure, and cornminutor maintenance.
Sewage flow is continuous through this unit during all
The incoming sewage flows by gravity from the comminutor station to the first stage of biological treatment, the oxidation
ditch.. *The ditch is an oval-shaped basin containing a mass of suspended solid material called activated sludge. Activated sludge contains active aerobic organisms. As the sewage is mixed with the activated sludge .the organisms feed on the dissolved and particulate organic matter contained in the sewage. Dissolved.oxygen is required to support the life of the aerobic organisms and is maintained in
the ditch through mechanical aeration by two rotary brush aerators. Oxygen is dissolved into the liquid through agitation of the liquid
by the rotating aerators. The amount of oxygen applied is dependent on the depth that the rotary aerators are immersed in the liquid and is controlled by the use of an adjustable weir at the outlet end of the aeration ditch.
Contact with the activated sludge organisms significantly re- duces the organic content of the incoming sewage afte> a few hours.
The overflow from the aeration ditch (now called mixed liquor) is transferred by gravity from the ditch to the secondary clarifier. The clarifiers are circular in design and are utilized to separate
the activated sludge from the treated liquid. Separation is accom- plished through gravity settling. As mixed liquor enters the clarifier influent center well the activated sludge settles to the bottom of the tank. The tank is equipped with'a rotary sludge collector. As the collector rotates the settled solids are moved
toward the center of the tank and collected in a sludge hopper. Clarified liquid (secondary effluent) passes over the weir launders to the next stage of treatment. Floatable material is removed from
the clarifier surface by a skimming arm attached to the rotary sludge

collector. The skimmings are collected in a circular pattern and deposited in the scum box.
Settled activated sludge in the clarifier is removed through
the use of an adjustable telescoping valve that discharges into the return activated sludge wet well. Skimmings collected in the scum box also discharge into the RAS wet well.
ditch for contact with the incoming raw sewage. Excess activated sludge (waste activated sludge) is removed from the system through
the waste activated sludge meter. A calculated volume of waste sludge is transferred to the aerobic digester along with secondary skimmings for stabilization. The stabilized sludge is then pumped to the belt press for dewatering prior to disposal to sanitary landfill. Treated and clarified secondary effluent flows by grav- ity through a metering flume to the chlorine contact tank for effluent disinfection prior to discharge to the effluent disposal
