Minutes of 23 July Meeting
The minutes of the July 23 meeting were approved as submitted.
Operations and Maintenance Reports
There are still regularly-occurring problems that haven't happened
in the past at the plant. An odor complaint was made and reported
to the APCD. The cost of repairing the sedimentation tank was reported
at $1,000. Septic tank haulers' discharge was the same last month
as during the same period last year. When a weekly sample was taken
on the sedimentation tanks when only three tanks were operational, the
grease level was not within requirements.
Burroughs is progressing with their total control industrial waste
system. A sample showed excessive copper concentrations during an
hourly period, but the daily sample was within limits. Other inspec-
tions in San Marcos showed problems with San Marcos County Club and
Quails Inn. The lab at the plant was inspected for conformance with
State requirements and found to be acceptable.
Review of Existing and Projected Flows
The flow information is lagging just a bit with regards to cost; how-
ever, the first month is not as significant as subsequent months. The
zeros shown in the table on Consulting on the prorated budget should
have numbers filled in.
Chuck Oldsen had a table on the board showing present capacity rights
and flows and future rights at the end of Phase IIA.
San Marcos actually had 13 new connections last month, but the figure
of 86 shown was needed to correct an improper computer readout. La
Costa is receiving 68,000 gallons per day from Leucadia.

4. Report on Safety Inspection
George Long reported that the electrical engineer concurred with the
preliminary inspection and added six items. The estimate is $1,000
for labor and materials to put the plant and facilities into standar-
dization. Non-electrical items will be handled during routine maintenance
by operating staff.
5. Progress Report on Increasing Staff
George Long further reported the process of increasing the operating
staff is moving along, with three additional operators to be on board
by mid-September. On August 22, the new gardener was to report to
work. Everyone is looking forward to the new assistance.
On questions with regards to a work program, George advised that a
list of items to be improved had been made and would be reported on
at the next meeting.
6. Staff Report on Septage Haulers
A draft report on the concern that septage haulers were illegally
discharging at places other than Encina will be presented at the
meeting in September. Discussion by County personnel on problems
with haulers followed.
'1. Progress Report on Phase II and IIA
Phase II is still going through the clean-up stage with the essence
of the contract already done. Phase IIA is still waiting for the
sedimentation tank equipment to be installed and is waiting for the
delivery of the equipment. The new bar screen is in operation, but
needs some corrections.
8. Progress Report on Phase III
Chuck Oldsen reported that delegate Mayor Meier from Vista introduced
an alternate resolution to CPO that separated the approval of Phase III
from the fact that the local governments are to carry out a facilities
. plan. The resolution passed carrying the wording that Phase III was
unconditionally approved. Considerable discussion followed, begun by
Counsel, on exactly what action should be taken by each individual
agency to prod their respective governing bodies into taking action
on the facilities plan or beginning the resolution of the problem.
Motion passed (Chase-Dominguez) that Counsel be directed to prepare
a resolution asking that each agency request the local governmental
entity of general jurisdiction in their area to produce a work program
leading ultimately to a facilities staging program as requested by
CPO.
Eric Mische further related that the State was sitting on our letters
submitted in July. The evaluators had told him that we would be
receiving a draft concept approval letter this week, but they haven't

come up with it yet. Chuck Oldsen said that we will now make appli-
cation for a Coastal Zone permit.
The Subcommittee has met several times during the past month to
discuss the contract for the design phase of Phase III. The
proposed amendment to the contract will require the approval of
each agency. Encinitas, through Dave Bricks, requested that Mark
Schneider be added to the Subcommittee in order to keep Encinitas
abreast of what was going on. Everyone agreed that anyone was
welcome to join in and help out.
9. Report on "Independent Management Study" Subcommittee
Ron Beckman advised there has been no change since last month, when
"all agencies agreed to go back to their respective boards to present
their findings and receive instructions." As soon as the boards'
responses are gathered, a meeting will still be held.
10. Proposal for Annual Audit
Included in the agenda packet was a letter from Ron Beckman, including
letters from two firms giving proposals for doing the audit. Motion
passed (Zapotocky-Dominguez) to adopt Ron's recommendation of awarding
the audit to the firm of Carroll and Brantley.
11. Staff Comments on Proposal by LCWD
Chuck Oldsen reported on discussions held with several people, but
said he was not ready to report back to JAC yet. The Regional Water
Quality Control Board requirements and understanding the proposal will
keep the written report from coming until next month.
12. Other Business
Ed Stiles reported that the billing for the renewal insurance premium
will need to be changed because of additional value being added this
year; also, the premium will be higher for the same reason.
Copies of the movie were given to Carlsbad and Vista.
Motion passed (Dominguez-Chase) to direct staff to give a report on
supervision and inspection billing with regards to Phase IIA, based
on a broad breakdown. Chuck asked to meet with Jim McKay on this
after information is obtained in order to prepare something to submit
in writing.
