Mr. McComas stated this meeting was called to discuss selling
of surplus water system property and the election of a chairman.
Mr. McComas postponed the election of a chairman until the
next meeting.
Mr. Baldwin made an appraisal of the surplus properties with
a report of his findings.
Mission Valley Sump - Mr. McComas stated the Council thinks
there is some property the City no longer needs. The tentative
offer on this piece was that the prospective buyer would relocate
the pump and buy or lease the property. There is a legal hold on
the title, however, Stu Wilson stated we should be able to get the
title in a reasonable amount of time. It was agreed that there is
no further use for this land and Mr. Esterline felt we should sell
it.
Mr. Watson stated Reservoirs 1 and 3 are available for sale
and the City is not using the land. He suggested referring
Reservoirs 1 and 3 to Oceanside and Carlsbad's Planning Departments
for their review on the proposed use of this land. With these
Departments' comments, this Committee will make a recommendation
to the Council to place them for bid with Bill Baldwin's figures
as a minimum.
Stu Wilson questioned if we would require the buyer to remove
the reservoir and material on the land. Mr. Martin questioned if
we should contract for the reservoir removal. Mr. Watson stated
he could see no reason why the Monroe Street (Reservoir No. 3)
property could not be made available and contingent upon the pro-
posal that the lot be restored within 90 days of acquisition. It
was motioned that the Committee recommend to the Council that the
Monroe Street property be sold for a minimum of $7,000 and that
the purchaser be required to remove the reservoir within 90 days.
The Committee approved this recommendation by unanimous vote.

- 2 -
Mesa Drive - Reservoir I - Mr. Knox suggested restoring the
steel tank since it was recommended several months ago to keep it
for storage. There is a storage tank but is not in the system.
Mr. Martin stated the money would be better spent enlarging the
tank on Schaffer's property rather than restoring the tank on
Mesa Drive.
Buena Vista and Elmwood - Reservoir 2 - This property is only
being used for storage. Mr. Watson suggested that we make certain
the City has no further use for the property and then refer it to
Planning Department for recommendation to this Committee. it was
therefore moved that we refer Reservoirs 2 and 3 to Planning and
Engineering Departments for their recommendations to this Commit-
tee for our review. The Committee approved this motion.
The next meeting will be held Tuesday, November 25 at
4:00 P.M.
The meeting was adjourned at 5:11 P.M.
