Stanley VanSickle Chuck Oldsen, George Long, Sr., Gary Decker Stan Mahr, Jim McKay Joe Zapotocky, Bob Foo, Paul Pressman, Wayne Elliott Liz Harris Eric Mische Mike Niederman, Mike Gotch, Skip Schmidt Ruth Honhold, Jane Skotnicki Don McClelland Byron White Minutes of November 20 Meeting The minutes of the November 20 meeting were approved as submitted. Operations and Maintenance Reports The investigation of CETA requested by Mr. Zapotocky revealed that the PEP program and New Careers have been superseded by the Regional Employment and Training Consortium (RETC) as Phase I and by the Comprehensive Employment Training Act (CETA) as Phase II of the program. More funds are being put into these programs by Washington and there should be enough for Encina to get the help it needs. Industrial waste monitoring during the month revealed that everyone was in conformance. The County received a letter from Carlsbad advising that Carlsbad wished to remain the same with regard to the new industrial waste ordinance introduced by the County. Ron Beckman explained that, although the proposed ordinance would allow a degree of uniformity, Carlsbad has had no problems so far with enforcement and decided not to change. Gary Decker related that their idea was to start working with the member agencies and his impression was that there was a favorable attitude toward the proposed ordinance. However, if one agency declined to adopt the ordinance and others decided to adopt it, they questioned the uniformity of control. Paul Pressman said that the County Counsel's concern was real; however, if a difficult c - Joint Advisory Committee December 18, 1974 ' Page Two 2. Operations and Maintenance Reports situation did arise, the County should be able to call out the local jurisdiction for control. After considerable discussion, motion passed (Hanson-Dominguez) that the matter be tabled until after the independent management study has been completed and submitted to the Joint Advisory Committee. Mr. Oldsen wished to make it clear that this matter had to do with enforcement, not management of the system. Other maintenance items were listed. Flow record report for Carlsbad was estimated at 2.1 because the plant meter had not been in service because of construction and difficulties in meter man getting new meter back into service. Leucadia's flow was down some because of problems with pumping system. The flow was about equal to the previous month overall. O&M costs were quite different figures than last month; Chuck Oldsen refigured the totals and the new figures are below the pro-rated budget. 3. Existing and Projected Flows The growth in the entire area is considerably less than one year ago. 4. Presentation by LAFCO Executive Officer Skip Schmidt of LAFCO introduced two staff members he had brought with him and then put up a map of the Joint System that he had colored in with three future annexations to joint system members. He expressed his concern over the amount of people that would be served by the joint system owners in these new annexations and the impact they would have on the system. One annexation was to Carlsbad, one to Vista and one to San Marcos; he left the map with the staff for their information. 5. List of Joint System O&M Staff Mr. Oldsen presented a list of the staff that operates the specific pump stations, meter stations, and Encina itself, with titles and specific job descriptions for the information of the system members. 6. Report on Request by Leucadia and Encinitas A memorandum from the Facilities Operation Division of the County was gone over by Mr. Oldsen, where the staff advised that the early connection by Leucadia would be satisfactory, providing that Leucadia maintained their plants in working order. Paul Pressman advised that Joint Advisory Committee December 18, 1974 Page Three 6. Report on Request by Leucadia and Encinitas the 5th Supplement revealed that Leucadia and Encinitas did not have capacity in the plant until the completion of Phase II and IIA except for a temporary connection agreement with Leucadia. After discussion of the pros and cons of another amendment to the 5th Supplement and the precedent that might be set by allowing Leucadia to come 'on line prior to completion of the expansion, motion passed (Dominguez- Zapotocky) to direct Counsel to draw up a new amendment to the 5th Supplement for review of the respective agencies for providing Encinitas and Leucadia with an extended interim period. 7. Report on Progress of Construction Phase II was 93% complete and IIA was 84% complete at the time of the report. The effluent was in conformance with established standards of the Regional Water Quality Control Board. 8. Report on Laboratory Heating & Ventilating Control Panel A letter from Brown and Caldwell related that the heat control in the laboratory was very important in order to maintain a constant temperature vital to the tests carried out. 9. Progress Report on Phase III Eric Mische related that no major developments had taken place in the last month. They were proceeding with the preliminary engineering design of various alternatives. By the middle of next month, they should have a handle on recommended processes and costs associated with them. 10. Oceanside's Letter Request to Join Encina A meeting was held between Oceanside, Vista and Carlsbad as per Ron Beckman, to talk about Oceanside's request. Ron related to Al Ruden that the joint members were not necessarily happy with the idea of providing plant capacity to Oceanside. However, an alternate solution could be worked out between Vista and Oceanside with an exchange of capacity within their drainage areas. 11. Report on "Independent Management Study" The agreement for the management study has been prepared and distri- buted to the members for their review. Questions on the agreement were answered by Paul Pressman and Ron Beckman. „ Joint Advisory Committee December 18, 1974 Page Four 12.
