Oldsen Carl'H. Neisv.'ender Thomas Parks Wayne P.' Li 11 Absent: David M. Dunne, Chester Beintema Varren A. Barney " Case Houson 1. Review and approval of minutes of meeting of April 17. 1968. Approved'as submitted. 2. Operations and Maintenance Report for April, 1968. The operations and maintenance and flow reports were for the period of April 5, 1968 to May 2, 1968. Higher costs are reflected because of material and supply costs, improvements to the facility and repairs to equipment. Trees have been purchased and are being planted on the north and east boundaries of the facility and a watering' system is being installed. Two blowers failed during the week of May 19 and will require major repairs. Sludge removal costs are also increasing as sludge volume Is increasing. The beds are presently covered with sand. Paving is being considered in order to use the skiploader for more efficient removal. Repairs to the high pressure water pump also contributed to the increased maintenance costs. Mr. Oldsen stated most of the sludge is used for fertilizing and erosion control at the facility. However, sludge is available to the member agencies for their use. The ohm meter and dehumidifier for the facility have been received. Mr. Oldsen also stated that two of the possible five or six septic tank and chemical toilet waste dischargers have paid their annual license fee. These fees are due and payable by June 1, 1968. Youth Corp workers are still being used as available but the program is less active than in the past. The flow total is slightly higher than last month. \ . 3. Preliminary 1SS3-69 Joint Facilities Budget. Mr. Oldsen stated the preliminary budget was adopted last year and appears to have been too low. Our records of treatment cost per mill ion gallons has steadily held at $60/mg. Since total flow volume has .increased it can be stated that we are processing more sev/age for the same over-all cost. Salary increase,'the higher cost of materials and supplies and larger utility bills have all contributed to rr.aktng a reduction in unit treatment costs impossible. Mr. Oldsen requested the Committee give their permission that adoption of this budget be deferred with the understanding it will be reviewed after next month's cost; data is available. If it is then apparent an increase in the preliminary budget Is in order the committee will be so advised. The agencies concurred and indicated they would have time to adjust their individual budgets in case of Increase. Mr. Parks inquired as to when San Marcos could come into the system. Mr. Oldsen state'd bids are planned .to be received in June and the work should begin in July. San Marcfos could be served by the joint system for tv/o or three months, therefore, it was decided they would not be considered in this 68-69 budget. They will pay their share, if they connect, and the individual agencies v/11 1 receive their due adjustments, if any, at the end of the year. A motion was'made by Supervisor Cozens and seconded by Mr. Parks that the preliminary budget be reconsidered at the next meeting. All ayes, motion carried. *l. Progress Report on Utility Relocation at Buena Vista Pumping Station. Mr. Oldsen stated nothing specifically has been agreed upon; however, the State Is working with Mr. Citron, the city of Carlsbad and the Department of Special District Services' to get this matter settled. It appears a dike and road at elevation 17 would be the best solution for a new access road, as this would also provide flood protection. There are also force main location, bridge location and site area problems stil 1 to be resolved. The owners (Vista and Carlsbad) may have to contribute some funds as their fair share in a cooperative solution to the problem. A storm water pump and a second force main placed in the new road fill are items that the owners may have to contribute to. The money for these improvements could corne from the bond fund. 5. Set Date for Next Meeting. The next meeting will be held June 19, 19&8.. At that time a re-evaluation of the Preliminary Proposed 68-69 budget will be considered. The Vice-Cha i rrnan adjourned the meeting at 9:52 a.'m. C. B. OLDSEN, Recording Secretary DISTRIBUTION: Supervisor Cozens V/arren A. Barney Chester D. Beintema Troy Doan David M.
