*A. i I ! ROLL CALL was answered by Couhciimen Grober, Sonneman, I i Ledgerwood, Coats and McPherson. Also present were City i : Manager Palkowski and City Attorney Hayes, I I
; The Mayor announced that the main purpose of this meeting i i was to act on the proposed bond election proceedings, : which election has been called for October 13, 1959. i Cwn. Coats stated she felt the bond issue will be defeated: : unless the voters are given more information. Since we I
f have ordered the contract drawn up for the engineering ; i plans and specifications, she felt the election should be : i postponed until we can give the people sufficient infor- I : mation. She has talked to several people and they are : ! of the opinion that the bond issue will be defeated more i i this time unless more information is made available before! J the election. She further stated she did not feel it was ; : fair to the taxpayers in Carlsbad not to know what the : i Council is spending their money for, therefore, she felt i
I the election should be postponed until this information i i is available, I I
i Cwn. Sonneman stated she did not feel the election should I : be delayed as we need the sewers now. If the people don't: i trust us now, they never will. I I
I The City Engineer advised the Council that if we wait for :I : the report from the Engineers it would delay the election i i approximately 4 months, He did not feel this information : i was necessary, as we already have a report from Boyle ; Engineers as to the need for sewers. I I
i Cwn. Sonneman stated that if we waited for the report : and plans there would not be enough of the voters who i would understand the survey when it was presented.
i Cwn. Coats suggested that perhaps a preliminary report : : could be presented prior to the election.. The City i Engineer stated that he did not feel a preliminary report : \ was good. ! Cwn. McPherson stated that if anyone would ask him today 1 : how this money was going to be spent, he could not tell : i them. When we had the meeting on the bond issue several i I people asked him specific questions and he could not I I I answer them, It was his opinion that some definite infor-j i mation should be made available to the people of Carlsbad. :
i Cwn. Sonneman stated that it was not the Councilis place : ; to answer these questions - that is why we employ quali- I i fied engineers. I I
i Mayor Ledgerwood stated that there is a certain group who : i want to know how they will benefit.
I Cwn, Sonneman stated that if you ask certain individuals i
; about the issue, there would be some who feel they, the : i Council, were not capable of spending this money. I I
i Cwn,. Coats stated that since we are hiring an engineering I : firm to furnish plans and specifications for the design : I and location of the work needed, why couldn't this infor- i i mation be released to the people? Some of the members \ ; of the Council were just considering the opinion of the : : Subdividers and promoters and are selling the property i
l owners in the City of Carlsbad short. I I
I The City Attorney suggested that perhaps the City Engineer: : could give the Council some information on the proposed i i work. I I

a. IJ I I I I I 0: i The City Engineer advised the Council there are a few I t who want the plant in the Las Encinas area. He felt that i
1 a plant located at the head of the Agua Hedionda Lagoon i : would be feasible, with a line to the South and a line to ; 1 the Northwest to take care of the Skyline area. Also a i : study would be made of the size and outfall of a new plan.; i As to the present plant he did not know until the Engineer4
i have made their study. 1 I
; Cwn. Coats advised the Council that when she brought up ; ; this matter she was not considering anyone outside the I i City of Carlsbad, but only the taxpayers. I I
i MRS. JEANNETTE LULL was present: and informed the Council ! : she felt the reason the bond issue did not pass the first i i time was due to the fact that the taxpayers did not know : : what they were going to pay for. In circulating the I i petitions she worked the Terramar area and knew the ; questions that were being askedr The general public is i I not interested in a pinpoint design, they are only inter- : : ested in the general design,
: Cwn. Coats asked if the emergency was so great that the i I election could not be postponed until such time as we have:
I this information available? The Engineer stated perhaps i I it could be postponed for 90 days. 1 I
i The City Manager advised the Council that at the last ; meeting the Council ordered the City Manager, City Enginee; i and City Attorney to work out a contract with Dr. Pmeroy, I : He feels as Miss Coats does, as he has received many calls i i on this matter. He would like to see the plans and : speciEications prepared by Dr. Pameroy; he has indicated i i his firm can complete the engineering between 3 to 5 month$.
i Personally, he would just as soon get this information i i out to the people. In the meantime we are not losing any I : time; whether the people accept the plans or not those i i are the plans that: will be used.
i A motion was made by Cwn. Coats that the Election be : postponed to January 13, 1959. Seconded by McPherson.
i The City Attorney advised the Council she felt it would i : be proper to have the second reading of Ordinance No.
* i 1068, and if it fails to pass by a 4/5ths vote, then a : motion to have the.election called for January 13, 1959, i i would be in order. Cwn. Coats withdrew her motion. I I
i Cmn. McPherson asked if the election were nor postponed, !
I could this engineering firm give some sort of a preliminari i report before the election?
i The City Attorney stated that the contract that the City i ; is entering into with Dr. Pomeroy will state definitely i I what he is to study and design, and this information could; : be given.
: It was agreed that any information that is available from i i Dr. Pomeroy's study would be released to the voters I I
1 prior to the election.
; Cwn. Coats stated that she would like to apologize to the i
i people of Carlsbad for being so hasty in calling this 1 election, as she felt she was doing the taxpayers an injustice by not releasing the information they were I
l entitled to receive. Mayor Ledgerwood stated that one of i ; the weakest points in the last election was the fact that : : none of the organizations in the City would back the bond I i issue - not even the Chamber of Commerce,
