1. Review and Approval of Minutes of April 26, 1972.
Approved as submitted.
2 • Ope rat jpn _and Maintenance Repor t f or J\pri 1
Mr. Oldseri reviewed the report. He pointed out that the Burroughs's
flow rates are down considerably as was indicated last month.
3 • Oceanside^ request for temporary use of -joint sewerage facilities.
Mr. Oldsen reviewed the County Department of Sanitation and Flood
Control letter to Oceanside dated May 10. Cost data included in
that letter was calculated on the same basis as the Leucadia County
Water District temporary connection. Mr. Oldsen indicated that the
agreement would be subject, to cancellation if the capacity is needed
by any of the owners. Upon motion (Asmus-Arnold), Joint Advisory
Committee approved, in principal, the Agreement with Oceanside,
generally in accordance with the May 10th County letter.
Oceanside was given a copy of the Leucadia County Water District
temporary connection and permanent agreements. Oceanside will
prepare a draft agreement for the temporary connection. Mr. Ruden,
Public Works Director for the City of Oceanside, reviewed the
difficulties which they are having with EPA in getting the final
grant. He hopes that the Agreement will only be necessary for one
year, however, he suggests that it be open-ended enough that as
-2-
long as there is available capacity and the joint owners are satis-
fied with the arrangement that they be permitted to use the line.
The flow charge would be based on an actual use basis. Availability
charges would be based on 100,000 gallons per day.
Mr. Ruden asked various questions regarding the basic philosophy
in the Brown and Caldwell report and the possibility of Oceanside
participating as a permanent user of the facilities. He wondered
if Oceanside would have to buy into the existing facilities. Mayor
Dunne pointed out that Leucadia County Water District and Encinitas
Sanitary District were not brought into the system as full partners,
but only bought capacity rights.
4 • Present at i°n ° ^ Final Operation and Maintenance Budget for Fiscal
Year 1972-73.'
There was considerable discussion regarding the basis for the in-
crease in costs of plant operations this year versus last year. Mr.
Oldsen pointed out that this is a result of the County's reassessing
overhead and administration costs. The propriety of the County's
upping the overhead and administration costs in the middle of a
fiscal year was questioned. Mr. Oldsen pointed out that this was
permitted by the Operating Agreement with the County.
5 • .Phase j Enlargement - Facility Grant .
The County letter to the State Water Resource Control Board dated
May 1, 1972 was briefly discussed. This letter forwarded all items
which were required as special requirements of the Grant offer and
requested formal approval of the entire project.
6 . Progress Report on Phase II Englargament .
Brown and Caldwell is preparing supplemental information for the
Environmental Impact statement per EPA request. This will cover,
"effect of plant expansion on regional growth". No word has been
received from EPA regarding potential flood control problems and
it appears that they may not need additional information in this
area.
Leucadia County Water District will submit their bond proposal to
the electorate on June 6th. If it fails, they will again resubmit
in November.
-3-
Mr. Oldsen advised the committee that nearly all of the advanced
design funds deposited by Leucadia County Water District and ESD
ware expended and they should be asked to deposit an additional
$.10,000. to cover the remaining design costs. Mr. Oldsen will
contact both agencies in this regard.
Set date for next meeting.
The next meeting will be held on June 21, 1972, at 9:00 A.M.
Respectfully submitted,
HUNTER T. COOK
