Our report includes a payment made by Vista in July for the June, 1966 contribution and Operator billings for June which were submitted and paid subsequent to the end of the fiscal year. Our examination included tests of the Operator's records as well as those of the Administrator to the extent we deemed appropri- ate. In our opinion, the statement presented ls substantially cor- rect and reflects the position of the participants at June 30, 1966 and the results of the operations for the fiscal year then ended. The overpayments of $11,566 (Vista) and $948 (Buena) should be deducted from the next quarterly payment to the Administrator. Actual sewage flow per Encina plant records was used in the cal- culation and, although these varied slightly from the monthly totals, the difference was nominal. Comprehensive flow records are kept not only at the pollution control facility but by the Operator's engineers. In addition, al I costs including labor and overhead expenses are clearly accounted for by the Special District Services accounting staff and we had no difficulty in obtaining pertinent data • -... .. • .. .. .. .. -.. ... -- .. .. ... -.. .. .. .. .. -.. • ... .. .. -------.. .. -2- We suggest that s I udge records be maintained and arrangements made for its disposition, if practicable, and that infiltration be estimated regularly so that the City of Carlsbad will not be unilaterally assessed with all unaccounted for sewage flow as is now the case. Insurance expense is a.llocated on the same basis as maintenance and operations. It would seem more equitable to us if a combi- nation of participants' percentage of ownership and sewage flow were considered as elements for cost allocation.-- Very truly yours, .. .. • .. .. • .. --.. --- ---.. ---------- .. ... ----.. .. ,.
