PLACE OF MEETING: City Manager's Conference Room PRESENT: W. D. Cannon, W. C. Esterline, Glenn McComas,C.Martin, W. C. Atkinson, Robert Watson; also Bob Neely & Otto Scheunemann-Water Dept., & Mr. Neuson, Hadley Johnson & Larry Olson-Engr. Science ABSENT: Knox Williams, James O'Toole Mr. Neuson went through and explained the letter in the Engineering Science report and primarily the second page which confirms the recommendations. At times there may be inadequate pressures during high use through- out the City and the 20 inch main is expected to reach capacity in 1975. The proposed reservoir capacity is not adequate for what has been proposed and the Engineers have allowed for future expansion of the reservoirs in the plans. The Lill-Kubota water report map was used by Engineering Science to show preliminary changes in the system. The design details used are for concrete reservoirs at all three sites. On page three of the Engineering Science report, Mr. Neuson stated his firm agrees with the recommendations of the Lill-Kubota report in that Reservoir #1 be abandoned. Engineering Science's report incorporates changes and upgrades the Lill-Kubota Water System Report. Mr. Johnson went over a few of the proposed changes, such as increased sizes in water lines. Mr. Olson added that basically there are changes in the size of pipelines but there is less linear feet. Mr. Esterline brought up the question of how much additional monies it will cost for additional facilities after the proposed capacity is reached by this new bond issue project. After much discussion on this question, Mr. Watson stated that this bond project will basically cover the area between the Buena Vista Lagoon, El Camlno Real, Agua Hedionda Lagoon and the Ocean as agreed by Mr. Neuson. This proposed bond project will Water Systems Improvement Committee May 12, 1969 Page 2 cover the maximum density population for this area. Mr. Watson further explained that any further increase in population would be outside the main project boundary as stated. Therefore, new outside builders would most likely assume the cost of tapping into the water lines. Upon motion made by Mr. Watson seconded by Mr. Atkinson, the Committee unanimously agreed to accept the preliminary report and recommend that the City Council do likewise and authorize preparation of the design phase in accordance with the agreement between Engineering Science and the City of Carlsbad. Respectfully submitted, Barbara Bishop Recording Secretary NOTE: The next regular meeting will be held at 4:00 P.M., May 26, 1969.
