Under the new policy established by the Council regarding contested water billing, he pointed out the inequity of this policy in relation to agricultural users. Attached to the letter was a comparison of Mr. Lough's and Mayor Ledgerwood's billing for the past year. Mr. Lough was present and informed the Council he.had used Mayor Ledger- wood's billing as a conparison due to the fact he was an agricultural user; it was true that last year we had more rainfall; however, this year we had almost 1/2 inch and any rainfall during the fall and winter months helps the agricultural users save water. Mayor Ledgerwood asked Mr. Lough if he would like to make an estimate of G the water used by him during this disputed period. Mr. Lough informed the Mayor he had discussed this matter with Mr. Scholink and the City- Manager and he would be willing to split the difference between the first billing, which would. be approximately $15.00. Mr. Lough further stated that he - felt the .formula previously established by the Council would probably be more workable for domestic use rather than agricultural use, and felt the City Manager should be instructed to work out matters such as these with the individuals. The City Attorney informed the Council he felt the City Manager should have some formula by which to work from. The City Manager .informed the Council the Administration is in the process of obtaining ordinances from other cities and when a favorable one is receiv- ed they would like to present it to the Council for review. After con- " siderable discussion by the Council it was moved by Cmn. Helton and sec- onded by Cwn. Coats that the compromise as submitted by Mr. Lough be accepted, and that the amount of the billing be fixed at $14.95. The motion was unanimously carried. It was the decision of the Council that the policy previously adopted by the Council should apply only to domestic water users. ORAL COMMUNICATIONS: Custody of Mutual Water Company Records.

Lough asked who had custody of the Mutual Water Company records as he has had didficulty in 1 I I ! t obtaining information from these records, The City Attorney informed the Council that some of the records of the Mutual are still in the possessior of the Mutual Water Company due to the fact the company has not as yet been dissolved, but felt the records are pubPic records and should be made available to the public. It was suggested that perhaps some one could be appointed to see that these records are available to the public. The City Manager was instructed to investigate this matter to see if these records could be made available for public use,' I M. W. JARVIE inquired of the Council if the Council was considering any method of raising funds for some of the projects facing the City. The Mayor informed Mr. Jarvie the Council was bound by the present budget, however, they were open for any s.uggest ions. 6. '. PUBLIC HEARIMGS: a.

Notice of proposed change of zone classification was read, Affidavit of publication was presented to the Council for their review. The Clo,rk presented one written protest from Leonard Wood, 528 S. Parish Place, Burbank, who owns property in the area, stating that if they rezoned this area they should rezone the entire area in order to avoid spot zoning, as this causes unnessary hard feelings, Resolution No. 91 of the Planning Commission was read recommending that this reclassification be granted due to the fact that the property directly across Acacia " Street was recently rezoned to R-3, and this would be a continuation of the R-3 zone, rezoning a complete section such as this is the ideal method, and it would not be injurious to the surrounding property. The Mayor asked if there were any persons present who wished to speak for' or against this rezoning, RALPH E. MOORE, 376 Juniper St-reet, stated he felt it would be to the a advantage of the property owners to have this rezoned R-3, due to the fact that Cherry Street is not a through street, therefore, he was in fav of this reclassification, The Public Hearing was declared closed at 8:05 P.M.

The Clerk certified there were no written protests received.

EDdARD ZAHLER, stated that they still wished to have their property deleted from the Master Civic Center Plan, as they have a tentative buyer. MRS.

Cmn. Helton stated he would like to go on record as being in favor of the recommendations of the Planning Commission, and if they started deleting properties from the Master Plans, how is the City going to plan for the future? Cwn. .' Sonneman stated she felt the present location of the adult section of the Library was an excellent location for a librery, and since the City has recently acquired this property, it would certainly save the City thou- sands of dollars to have this portion of the Master Civic Center Plan deleted. Cwn. Coats stated she agreed with Cwn. Sonneman and did not feel it was right to claim properties when the City is not in a position to purchase the property. Mrs. Lampton was asked What valuation she placed on her property. She informed the Council she had placed a valuation of $11,500 on her property, which consists of 9/10th of 1/2 acre. The public hearing was closed at 9:OO P.M. After considerable discussior. by the Council, Cwn. Sonneman moved that these properties be deleted from the Master Civic Center Plan for the following reasons; 1. These Froperties are not essential to the Master Civic Center Plan, as there is another location that has been recently acquired by the City that could be used for a Library; and 2. That it would save the City of Carlsbad approximately $100,000 if they used the property owned by the City for a Library; and that the Planning Comission be notified of the Eouncil's intention and they be requested to report back to the Council.

Mr. Nelson had informed the Club that it was not possible for the City to undertake this project at the present tax rate, according to the contract previously signed by the Woman's Club, but that former Mayor Lough had stated it could be done. Cwn. Coats stated that several people, including members of the Woman's Club, had discussed this matter with her, and they did not see how the City could raise $25,000 for this project when there are other important matters to be considered. Cwn. Sonneman suggested that the Woman's Club use their funds to build a building on the property being purchased frov Mrs. Greenwood, if she would be willing to release a portion of this property 'for the Comunity. Building. Mrs. Vance stated that she could not speak for the Club, but did not feel the 'doman's Club would agree to' such a proposal.
