1. Review and Approval of Minutes of October 25 meeting.
Minutes approved as submitted.
2. Operation & Maintenance Reports for October, 1972.
The month's report was reviewed by Mr. Oldsen. It is estimated
that San Marcos will exceed 1 million gallons per day next
month.
Several comments were made regarding odor control for the
plant. The operator indicated that there had been a break in
the seal in the digester and odors had escaped. It was
felt that this was now under control. Mr. Oldsen will check
into the quality of the digester seal for wet weather use and
will report back at the next meeting.
It was reported that the State Division of Industrial Safety
requirements are considerably stricter than they have been
in the past. Significant modifications in the plant opera-
tion will be required. Mr. Oldsen will be reporting further
on this at subsequent meetings.
3. Burrough's Discharge
There has been no problem during the last month.
Report on the V-C outfall Sewer Settlement at Buena Vista

Division of Highways has indicated they will take corrective
action as necessary. A further meeting will be held by the
Division of Highways after the results of the television
inspection have been evaluated.
5. Outside JAC Legal Service.
Basic County Counsel charges will probably be going up. There
is no additional overhead cost for County counsel work or for
regular County consulting. Since the Deputy County Counsel
formerly engaged in JAC work,is no longer available, and it
will be necessary for a new attorney in the County Counsel
office to familiarize himself with the Encina Sewerage system
matters, a suggestion was made to investigate the possibility
of utilizing either the Carlsbad or Vista City Attorney, since
both Cities have full time attorneys on their staffs. A
report will be presented by Vista and Carlsbad at the next
meet i ng.
6. Progress Report on 1972 Enlargement.
EPA advises they have no further questions or problems. The
grant offer can be expected within two weeks.
7. Progress Report on Preparation of Technical Report.
The report is approximately 50% complete. The sampling program
is underway. Reference is made to the Regional Water Quality
Control Board letter of 11-6-72. The legal counsel for LCWD
feels proposition 20 will have an effect. The extent cannot
be determined at this time.
8. The City of Oceans ide ^Temporary Connection.
A letter, dated Oct. 31, from the City of Oceanside was reviewed,
Oceans ide projects 1 50,000 gal Ions per day. The Oceanside Sewer
Committee does not want to bring the Buena Vista area into
Encina. They do wish to bring in those areas of Oceanside with-
in the Agua Hedionda drainage basin.
9. Status Report on Ponto Interceptor Sewer.
The siphon is complete. The pump station upstream is nearing
completion. The pumps are on the site ready for installation.
Primary holdup is in acquisition of the control gates at the
head end.
10. Status Report by Insurance Review Committee.
Since Mr. Stiles was not present, detailed discussion was
deferred. Recommendation was made that, prior to finalizing
insurance for the next fiscal year, bids be obtained.

11 . Review of County Billing Procedure
The County has agreed to establish a separate work order for
large cost accounts such as Burroughs and Beckman Instruments
in the City of Carlsbad. Each participating agency will dis-
cuss this matter directly with the County since billing for
consulting services is direct.
12. Set Date for Next Meeting
The next meeting will be held on December 20, 1972 at 9:00 AM.
