Stanley VanSickle Stanley Mahr, Jim McKay Paul Pressman, Joe Zapotocky, Bob Foo, Wayne Elliott Chuck Oldsen Ruth Honnold, Jane Skotnicki Joe Thompson Minutes of 19 June Meeting Minutes were approved as read (Chase-McKay). Operations and Maintenance Reports Industrial waste from Burroughs was discussed at a meeting with Carls- bad, Burroughs and the County; hopefully they are now on a problem- solving basis. Note was made of the digester foaming on the day of the last meeting. Routine items were listed for operation. With the adoption of Order 74-21 by the Regional Water Quality Control Board going into effect, increased laboratory testing has resulted. This will be in effect until 1977 and started when the ocean outfall was completed. The present vendor for ocean monitoring service has requested an increase in their price per year, which increase is felt to be unjustified. Negotiations are now going on with Woodward-Envicon, Inc.; it it believed that satisfactory service will be obtained without any substantial increase in cost. Buena Vista pump station overflowed during the past month, but the new problem has been completely corrected. The problem involved a rupture in the main air feed line from the three-way valve to the controls. A backup system was installed in the event of a high wetwell, independent of the air pressure alarm. The flow records reported this month include the entire year. San Marcos flow has gone down considerably since March; after discussion, it was decided that San Marcos would check on the reason for this. Operations and maintenance cost came very close to meeting the budget. The plant itself was the only thing that went over, going over by $10,000; it has been running over for about the last 3 months. Carlsbad, .>**•• Joint Advisory Committee July 17, 1974 Page 2 2. Operations and Maintenance Reports, cont'd. Vista and Buena ran over on consulting costs. 3. Review of Existing and Projected Flows The report was complete for the first time in a number of months. Carlsbad was unusually high due to connection fee increase. This amount represents paid connections on existing buildings now under construction. 4. Progress on Phase II and IIA As of July 14, Phase II was 66% complete and IIA was 47% complete. 5. Report on Repair of Port Covers Work was started on July 17 and completed on July 27. Change order was for $39,650 and County's estimate of cost has been put at $32,370; request for payment itemizing costs has not yet been received. Three days less diving time was needed than was estimated. Outfall will now be inspected annually or semi-annually by divers. 6. Report by Carlsbad on the Role of the Administrator It was requested by Mr. Chase that Carlsbad send out the report with the minutes; it can then be discussed at the next meeting. 7. Presentation to Bill (Smitty) Smith The Chairman presented a plaque and resolution of commendation to Smitty, acknowledging exemplary services as superintendent of the Encina plant and wishing him a happy retirement. Everyone admired his welded pop-art plaque received from the employees at the treatment plant. 8. Presentation of Proposal to Have Professional Movie Prepared Joe Thompson of Seavision Productions gave a presentation of the preparation of the movie; the film would be 17-20 minutes long, would include underwater scenes of actual pipe laying, would also have music at the beginning and end, and narration. The production will be handled completely by Seavision with advisement from the County. Motion passed (Zapotocky-Chase) that we proceed with the movie. We should move into a contract agreement that will spell out the script, etc. and Carlsbad should be the contracting party. It was suggested that everyone contact Chuck Oldsen and advise him of their desires for the film. Each agency would also supply a representative to go to the film interlock (review). » ' "W Joint Advisory Committee July 17, 1974 Page 3 9.
