On the same motion 9 votes were in favor; and 3 votes were negative, which

3. Operations & Maintenance Report
Septage Hauling is down this month compared to last month. It may be due to the
fact that .Escondido is charging $5 a load where Encina is charging $10 a load.
Escondido WPCF will be increasing fees to $31.00 per 1,000 gallons as required
by federal revenue recovery programs. Encina may experience an increase next
month because of the lower fee schedule.
Some operational problems are still being experienced with Digesters #1 and #3.
Weardco has continued to dispose of the few items that had not been taken care
of on the Phase II and IIA punch list..
Chuck Oldsen reported that San Marcos, Leucadia and Encinitas were contacted
regarding Industrial Waste. Vista and Carlsbad will be contacted on the same
subject. Ron Beckman advised that Burroughs is conducting a program of cyanide
stripping to recover gold used in certain processes. This will have no impact
on the plant because it will be an on site process.
Flow Report: San Marcos and Leucadia's flow went down.
Encina Outfall prorating versus the actual cost is not behind as it was last
month. It is about $15,000 over.
Industrial Waste & Special Consulting: "Ponto Pump Station" category has been
incorrectly assessed to Carlsbad this fiscal year. It should be described as
Ponto Siphon which is shared by Carlsbad, Leucadia, and Encinitas. The charges
of $1,849 will be reassessed to the three agencies.
4. Review of Existing and Projected Flows
Chuck Oldsen introduced the new format for the Existing and Projected Flows
of Participating Agencies" report which included a new column of Estimated
Flows per E.D.U.
5. Report of Sulphide Condition
Ponto Siphon Outlet hydrogen sulphide build-up registers low as opposed to last
month. This may be due to the cleaning conducted in May.
Dick.Hanson advises that Leucadia's bacteriological testing program has not been
successful. The firm conducting the tests feel they haven't been mixing the
bacteria correctly; they will continue to conduct tests for approximately one
month in an effort to .control the problem at least to their satisfaction.
San Marcos is working in conjunction with Dupont Chemical in an effort to
control hydrogen sulphide problem.
6. Progress Report on Phase III
Motion passed (ZAPOTOCKY-CHASE) to accept resolution of the Joint Advisory
Committee of the Encina Joint Sewerage System recommending modification of
project approval. (10 in favor - 9 noes). Paul Pressman advised joint
agencies to forward certified copies of resolution after approval to Vista
Sanitation District. Chuck Oldsen advised that it will be necessary for
JAC to be working on renegotiations for fees to Brown & Caldwell. Oldsen
also informed that effluent chlorination will not be required.
Chuck Oldsen distributed a letter from Brown & Caldwell. Garr Jones of
Brown & Caldwell was introduced. Mr. Jones reviewed the letter which describes
the problems experienced in the past with the plant metering system. Brown &
Caldwell believe the present flume should be abandoned and some new metering
device be provided. Although they feel they do not have direct obligation,
they are going to install a propeller metering device in the 42 inch effluent
conduit at the point where it discharges into the effluent sampling structure.
Brown & Caldwell suggested that the cost of the installation for the metering
system be divided equally between Brown & Caldwell and Encina Joint Powers.
Motion passed (ZAPOTOCKY-SKOTNICKI) the matter concerning the metering system
be referred to staff for analysis and recommendation.
7. Progress Report on Proposed Budget 1976-77
After review of proposed budget, motion passed (ZAPOTOCKY-SKOTNICKI) to recommend
approval to respective agencies. (10 in favor - 9 noes).
Motion passed (DOMINGUEZ-CHASE) the general manager review the budget within 60
.days of employment and prepare.a programed budget for next year.

8. Other Business
Ron Beckman read a "Thank you" letter addressed to JAC from Dave Dunne for
the resolution presented to him at the luncheon.
Ron Beckman updated JAC members on the Public Facilities and Land Use
Management study grant suggested by CPO contingient with the Phase III
project. Ron advised that a general work program has been established in
an effort to obtain the 701 Grant requesting funds to finance the work.
Ron has been assigned by the committee as chairman due to involvement with
city and sewerage agencies, therefore, there will be minor administrative
cost to JAC in relation to 701 Grant.
Next meeting scheduled July 28, 1976.
Respectfully submitted,

Gentlemen:
Thank you for the enjoyable luncheon and the Testimonial of Appre-
ciation presented to me at the Twin Inns,' in Carlsbad on May 26,
1976. Your kind remarks were music to my ears and I regret not
having a tape recorder handy to preserve them for posterity and a
skeptical family.
It was a pleasure, as always, to meet with you in such congenial
surroundings and enjoy again an association of long standing. My
congratulations for the excellent job you have done over the years
and best wishes for your continued success.
Sincerely,
T^David MN^Dunne
