Binkley, 1837 South Myers, Oceanside, requesting the City to extend the Sewer line from Magnolia Ave. slnuth on Pi0 Pic0 Dr. -126 feet to his lot on Pi0 yico- Dr., as the property on the west side of Pi0 Pic0 Drive is omed by the State, therefore, there'would be no contributions made from the West side of the street. It was pointed out that in the past it has been the policy of the Council to participate in these sewer extensions not to exceed the amount to be collected from the future users of the Sewer 'line, The Director of Finance informed the Council the funds in the Sewer Revolving Fund were depleted at the present time. It was suggested Mr. Binkley contact the Church who owns the property to the south to see if they would participate in this extension, as they will be needing spwers at such time as they build. By common cop.sent of the Council the City Manager was instructed to acknowledge Mr. Binkley's letter and inform him that the City is not in a position to participate'in this project, but per- haps the Church would be willing to participate in this extension. C. " Carlsbad Union School District - School Bond report. Letter dated December 10, 1958, from the'carlsbad Union School District, stating a Citizens Advisory committee met at the Jefferson School, on Tuesday, December 2, at which time I the Board of Trustees presented a plan for the school district, They asked if the Council would like a member of the Board to explain the plan to the members of the Council. P.s a result of this meeting and the study that has been made of the school distrfct for the next three years, the Board pro- poses a bond election for $1,500,000 to take care of this need for the next three years, The City Manager informed the Council he had contacted Dr. Jacobs, and Dr. Jacobs and Mr. Glenn Feist, a member of the Board, were present to present their plan. Mr. Glenn Feist presented the members of the Council with a brochure of the school district, as to population study, projected enrollment, pupil pop- ulation forecast, suggested school planning schedule, etc. Mr.. Feist stated there were funds available now for the purchase of the property for the Las Flores School and also for the Terramar School, however, the population in the Terramar area does not justify a school in this area at the present time They have been building at a building cost of approximately $11.00 per sq. foot, which is less than any other school in the County. Dr. Jacobs informed the Council the $1,500,000 bond issue is somewhat confus. If the bond is passed it will not give them this entire amount at. the presenl time; they are asking for permission to go ahead at such time as the bonding power allows them to. The Board is in hopes .the citizens will go along with this program on one bond issue, rather than having to hold three separate bond elections, as this is an added cost to the taxpayers. Mr. Feist presented a saturation survey prepared by the District's architect: He informed the Council they are willing to answer any questions the Counci: might wish to ask, amd stated he felt this was the first ti.me they have been able to present a comprehensive report to the- citizens. The Board will have to make some decision by Decei27be.r 22, 1958, and if the Council has any ob- jections they would appreciate someone appearing at this meeting. ... The Mayor thanked Dr. Jacobs and Mr. Feist for presenting such a COmprehensil plan to the Council. I d . Kamptner and Holly - Request for. extension of time on Seacrest Subdivision Map.
