HD. CITY ATTYV/^3 CITY MQR. ^C RECOMMENDED ACTION: Approve by minute motion the inclusion of the following tasks in the draft Work Plan for the possible reorganization of Encina. ITEM EXPLANATION: §CCQ_ Q. OI O OO The JAC referred the development of a Work Plan for the review of the operations and organization of Encina to the Plans and Policies Committee. This Committee is composed of the following: Elaine McDaniel - LCWD, Chairperson Peggy Rutherford - San Marcos Joseph Karrer - Vista Roger Greer - Carlsbad The following tasks are recommended for inclusion in the Work Plan: Task 1 Consolidation of Member Agencies to Reduce the Number of Partners a. Buena Sanitation District to merge with City of Vista b. Leucadia County Water District to split along political boundaries of Carlsbad and Encinitas and merge with those cities. Task 2 Operation and Maintenance of all Joint System Facilities by Encina a. Lift stations and trunk lines serving more than one agency. b. Satellite treatment plants that utilize Encina to treat portions of the flow (Unit I) and/or disposal (Unit J). Task 3 Enforcement of Policies and Procedures by Encina a. Perform all industrial waste monitoring and enforcement for the Encina service area. b. Operate and maintain all system meters measuring flows to Encina and perform all flow calculations used in determining system flows. It is expected that all members will develop similar task lists for discussion. The tasks recommended above will meet some of the organizational short comings by reducing the agencies from six to four: by consolidating responsibility for operations that directly effect Encina (and Carlsbad), i.e., odor control, system overheads, spills and allocation of operating costs based on flows; and provide for accountability of system operations by the Encina Manager instead of the present fragmentation of accountability. The JAC also directed that its counsel provide it with an estimate of effort and cost for the rewriting of the basic agreement and the supplements. This effort will incorporate all changes to the basic agreement and delete those supplemental agreements which were for the term of a specific project. This PAGE 2 of AB# will result in a more easily readable and less bulky document^ of the organization. The following items of Council interest were also discussed: 1. Renegotiation and renewal of the ocean monitoring agreement and the Household Hazardous Waste Information Program. 2. Approved a letter of appreciation to the League of Women Voters recognizing the late Ruth Hannold. 3. A status report on the sludee disposal program.
