Approved as submitted.
2. Operations and Maintenance Report.
Mr. Oldsen reviewed the report and elaborated on the steps being
taken by Burroughs to control industrial waste discharge. it
is his opinion that they are making satisfactory progress.
3. Leucadia County Water District and Encinitas Sanitation District
Participation in EWPCF.
The draft of "Fifth Supplement to Basic Agreement to Provide
for Participation by Leucadia County Water District and Encinitas
Sanitation District" was discussed. Mr. Asmus reported that
Vista Sanitation District has formerly determined that participa-
tion would be on a no-ownership basis; the proposed participants
will own capacity rights only. Considerable discussion ensued
regarding the definition of ownership and capacity rights. The
distinction generally is a matter of management rights and owner-
ship of physical facilities. Leucadia County Water District and
Encinitas Sanitation District would under the capacity right
concept have a right to utilize a specified capacity of the plant
and ocean outfall but would have no voice in the management.
The right to utilize capacity could be sold. It was agreed that
the distinction must be spelled out in the Fifth Supplement,
together with guidelines and limitations for selling capacity
rights.
Vista requested clarification regarding their liability as
administrator of the proposed enlargement contract. A motion
(Dominguez-Asmus) was adopted, directing the contract for the
o
proposed expansion to be handled in a manner similar to the method
currently being utilized for the Phase I Expansion Contract now
under way. An additional motion (Asmus-Mahr) was adopted, per-
mitting Vista to approve change orders up to an aggregate 10%
of the contract amount, with any single change order exceeding
$5,000 to be approved by the joint Advisory Committee; all
approvals to be subject to the availability of funds.
John Whitney, Don Clark, Chuck Oldsen and any interested parties
will meet, prepare a revised draft, and distribute it for review
prior to the next meeting.
4. Report on Master Plan Study^
Brown and Caldwell is recommending alternative approaches which can
be followed, depending upon future water quality control require-
ments and developments in technology. One of these is water
reclamation. Mr. Mische requested that he be advised of any anti-
cipated needs and possible uses for reclaimed water. uses such
as irrigation and recreational uses were discussed in general.
Mr. Oldsen presented letter from Mr. Bonderson and Mr. O'Leary
of the Water Resources Control Board and Water Quality Control
Board, respectively, concerAing the proposed grant. It does
not appear optimistic that we will receive the grant at this
point, however Mr. Oldsen was directed to vigorously pursue our
request through the highest levels of government.
On the brighter side, Mr. Oldsen indicated that we have received
a $97,250 grant from the State, as the State's portion from the
State Clean Water Bond Act, Coupled with the Federal funds we
will receive, this provides us with a total contribution of 80%.
