A summary of the financial status of the Improvement District No. 3 Construction Fund
was reviewed in detail by the Manager. Anticipated expenditures for this project
were discussed in order to ascertain if any surplus funds wfll.be available for
District participation in the proposed water main extension for the Stanley Kelly,
Irwin Kelly and Blair Pace properties.
Kelly-Pace Line Extension:
Mr. Stanley Kelly and Mr. Irwin Kelly were present to discuss this proposed line and
informed the Board that Dr. Blair Pace has also indicated that he is willing to
participate in the construction of this line.
The Manager explained the location of the proposed line on the map and informed the
Board the extension would involve approximately 1550 feet of line. Based on a
preliminary cost estimate, if the property owners were to put in the line solely for
owners, a presaure reducing station at Line "E: would run approximately $2,000.00,
a total of $7,812.00, plus an additional 15% for District services, making a total
estimated cost of $8,894.00.
Based on a 12" line capacity, which was previously discussed, construction of the
line would be $10,075.00, with connection only at Line "E" at $750.00, for a total
construction cost of $10,825.00, plus 15% for District services, for a grand total
of $12,449.00.
The possibility of extending this line across the area to connect to Line "Dl! off
of El Camino Real was discussed but the Boarddid not feel such a plan would be
economically feasible at this time. It was agreed that the 12" capacity for this
proposed line would be preferable over the 6" line since it would provide added
line capacity for future development of the area. After discussion, upon motion
by Director Maerkle, seconded by Director Greek, and unanimously carried, it was
moved that a 12" water main be cnnstructed in Macareo Canyon for a total of 1550 feet to the corner of the Pace-Kelly properties, with the property owners participatir
on a 50-50 basis, with the property owners to bear cost of pressure regulators,
and the District to provide three outlets, one for each property owner; such line
to be covered by a reimbursement contract and subject to the legal requirements of
the District's Ordinance No. 10.

The Legal Counsel revsewed Section 17B of Ordinance No. 10 which sets forth the procec
for District participation in line extensions. The property owners were informed
that the Agreement for this project will be drawn up and upon receipt by the District
of the deposits required, the District will then proceed with the construction of thi:
line.
Sewerage A brief report was made on the Sewerage Meeting which was held on April 1(
Meeting with property owners of the District. The Legal Counsel pointed out that
two districts could be formed to cover all the lands not presently being
sewered by the City of Carlsbad or the Leucadia District and information could be
obtained for a master sewer plan. The Engineer informed the Board he feels there is
enough basic engineering information available in the Sewerage Study which they
conducted for the District and that the cost of the facilities could be determined
without going into any great expenditure of funds. Stanley Kelly urged that a
district be formed to stop the encraachment of other agencies into the District.
It was decided that while any future sewerage plans would be contingent upon the
election results of the Vista-Carlsbad Joint Venture, that the District should take
steps to be in a positinn to work with these agencies for sewering the outlying areas
of the District.
After further discussion, upon moffon by Director Maerkle, seconded by Director Carno'
and unanimously carried, the Board moved to instruct the Engineer and Attorney to
proceed to outline the boundaries for an improvement Bistrict, or districts, as
necessary for the sewering of the Agua Hedionda and Las Encinas watersheds.
