Ingels W. W. .Rogers Present R. R. Xobinson C, A. Anthony Director Absent: President E. G. Hagen Also present were C, E, Trygg, Secretary, and Attorney Ray Eberhard. Vice President Ingels called the meeting to order. The meeting was then recessed while the Directors went to Oceanside for a meeting with the Special Committee of the City Coupcil of Oceanside The Board meeting was reconvened at 2t00 P- Dli. Present at the reconvened meeting .were also Charles W. Thorns, Flood Control Engineer of San Diego County, Nr. Parry of the San Diego Union and Maribee Balcom, stenographer. j :7. . . .. 7 F6-j k I Li Discussion was then held on the offer of Oceanside Connection to Oceanside High to transport water through its facilities at a cost of Pressure Line $5,00 per acre foot, subject to the following terms: (1) That Oceanside in no way be deprived of water. (2) That every precaution be taken with safety devices so that no undue pressure be placed UPOD the South Oceanside grid or any other section of the Oceanside water transmission system, (3) That the point of take off be near the juxtaposition of the Carlsbad Xutual and Oceanside systems in the vicinity of California and.Hunsaker Streets fn Oceanside. (4) That the cost of the fittings, meters, pressure valves, connections, etc. be borne by the City of Oceanside and .the pipe line between the pressure valves and the Carlsbad BlEutual lines be borne by the Carlsbad Nmicipal Water District. That the City of Oceanside be reimbursed for the expense of the fittings, metem, valves, etc. through payment of the transmission charge, subject to renewal for one yeart providing that the Carlsbad HmicipaL Water District has at the end of the first year let a con- tract for construction of a separate line to the Aqueduct. (6) That the Carlsbad Bunicipal Water District pay to. the City of Oceanside for the use of' the high pressure line a rate of $5.00 per acre foot for such water passing through that line to the Carlsbad Nutual Water' Company line e (5) That the coQtract be for a period of one year r. The matter of the necessary chlorination of the water Chlorination was also discussed. General Rogers stated that he thought the Oceanside connection would allow- a reasonable amount of water, probably averaging 6 acre feet per dag. Nr* Trygg then explained to the Board that this average figure does not mean that the mount of water available to the Company will be 6 acre feet during periods when the most water is needed. Therefore thought should be given 113 to additional reservoir facilities and the operation of the Lake in order that we may attempt to maintain constant quantity and quality of water for our shareholders. The proposed connection with Oceanside should prove valuable In case of emergencies as we would then be able to transport water from one system to the other, but it should be emphasized that these connections are only temporary and are not a solution for getting Hetropokitan water to the Mutual area and blending it with the local waters. Due to the uncertainty of the flow, the quality of water received by the shareholder in Carlsbad will vary from day to day and from hour to hour, depending upon the amount of Netropolitan water received. R. 'R. Robinson moved, seconded by C, A. Anthony and carried unani- mously: 54-61 BE, IT RESOLVED that the Manager is hereby authorized and directed to proceed to work out all the necessary agreements with Oceanside for approval of the Board and of our attorneys in the matter of the connection at Hmsaker and California, and also at Yucca, to the high pressure. line of the City of Oceanside; and BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Manager is authorized and directed to immediately make the necessary expen- ditures and to install the pipe,> fittings, valves, etc. as required for these connections. C,pI',Thornas Vice President Ingels then asked BBr. Charles W. talks on Flood Control floor, He discussed the proposed legislation and county Thomas, County Flood Control Engineer, to take the functions of the proposed Division, He answered the questions presented by the various Directors, and requested that they submit their suggestions to him, It was pointed out that the new proposed legislation provided for District Improvement areas to be set up, rather than taxing agencies for the entire Cowlty. Xr. Thomas thanked the Board for their time and interest. Mr. Thomas then left the meeting. 2 V,! Mr. Eberhard then,-took the floor and stated that San Luis Reg Ad judicatior L .e ..., i - Attorney Phil Swing, Engineer Harold Conkling, and the attorney for the Board of IVater Resources had been in touch with him. There remains $111,000 in the Division of Water Resources funds for water study within the next two weeks, or it will revest to the General Fund of the State. It is proposed to use this money for a suwey in the San Luis Rey River. In this ease, such funds would have to be met by matching funds from local interested parties. &. Eberhard explained that the survey aould provide fundamental information needed for the proposed adjudication Qf the river. Inasmuch as the costs of the adjudication of the river will be borne by all parties concerned, it was recommended that the Company be prepared to contribute approxfnrately 1/4 of the matchixg funds as a maximum, ;W. 1. Rogers suggested that if. we could be sure three other agencies would join with us and thus divide the expenset that it night be worth while to go up to Sacramento and discuss the matter with the Board. Hr. Eberhard was directed by our Board to contact other interested agencies and attempt to arrange the necessary comritments. At the sug- gestion of the Board$ &. Eberhard then left the meeting to telephone Mr. Swing Edr. Parry also left the meeting. 88. 88. Rogers moved, seconded by R. R. Bobinson and Approval of lYUnutes carried unanimously: ,. of 4-2O-fJ4 BE IT RESOLVED that the minutes of the regular 54-62! meeting of April 20, 1954 be approved as written. R. R.

Anthony and Invoices & Financial carried unanimously: Report 1 BE IT RESOLVED that the invoices In the mount 54-63 of $16,988.03, and Financial Report for April, 1954 be approved and accepted, 7 mr k d 3 Main The bdianager then stated that the main line between the Line Buena Vista Lagoon and Reservoir #2 is in poor condition and will probably not stand the additional pressure which will occur when Metropolitan Water is received fromthe Oceanside high pressure line. In our report of necessary improvements (submitted to the Pacific Xutual Life Insurance Company) there is an item of $9973. to clean and cement line, this portion of the main line. The Nanager explained that the rehabilitation of this pipeline would necessitate cutting off the major portion of the supply of water available to the residents of Carlsbad during that period in order that the line may be placed out of service for a period of approximately 2 weeks. It is necessary that all shareholders cooperate and that only domes- tic water be used during that period. R. R, Robinson moved, seconded, by; W. p. Rogers and carried unani- mously: 54-64 BE IT RESOLVED that the Manager is hereby authorized and directed to make necessary arrangements to clean and cement line approximately 3,272 feet of main line between the Buena Vista Lagoon and Reservoir No.2; and BE IT FUWHER RESOLVED that the Manager is directed and instructed to notify all the shareholders affected that there will be a limited amount of water available during the rehabilitation of the main' line, and that therefore they are urged to thoroughly* irrigate before the start of the work. Sa Luis Mr. Eberhard then returned to the meeting, having telea Rey Adjudi- cation phoned It!Ir. Swing, who irkormed him that some 09 the .' (Conto 1 - -. parties concerned were not too enthusiastic over a survey. Nr. Swing stated that he would write the San Luis Rey Conservation District to see whether they w-ere. interested. 3. Eberhard told Hr. Swing that our Board would probably assume 25% of the expense involved. Xr. Swing said Fallbrook would do better than that, The, -3 f, '76 d Board wants the commitment right away and will have to have the money SOOB. Mr. Eberhard feels that we should not file the suit for adjadication until the survey is made, if we are going to have it made. W. V. Rogers moved, seconded by C. A. Anthony a#d carried unanimously: .. .. . . .. BE IT ReSOLBED that Ray C. Eberhard, Attorney, 54-65 is he6eby authorized and requested to make inquiries from the Board of Water resources to see what they will do about this survey of San Luis Rey; and BE IT FURTKEB RESOLVED that the Board is in favor of going as high as 25$ of the natchin g funds to have the survey made.

"; Ad "4 Report to Attorney Eberhard stated that it moulci be necessary Division of Water in order to protect our water rights , to fils a Resources report with the Division of Water Resources by December 31, of each year, showing the amount of water used by the Carlsbad Nutual Pater Company from sources other than the San I Luis Rey during the preceding year-ending October 3lst. Unauthor- The Hanager then explained to the Board that the ised use of Water on office force has been checking the allocation of Dry Land water stock aBd the use of water with regard to Article 15 of the By-Laws of the Corporation, as' follows: "No water shall be distributed or delivered to any shareholder until his shares shall have been located on, attached to, and made appurtenant to, the particular parcel of land upon which the water is !to be used, such location and attachment of prescribed by these By-Laws and the Rules and Regulations of the compm, and shall be on the basis of one shaqe, of ang%lass, for eachoacre of such land, or fractional share to the corres- ponding fractional acre of land. It was found that several accounts in the meter books have not been checked since 1936. In the case of one shareholder, Donald Briggs, the records indicate that there is a large area under irrigation on which no water stock is appurtenant. This involves approx3mately 25 to 30 acres of land. &. Briggs has that approxi- mate amount of stock which is unassigned and subject to the payment of the,South Oceanside release fee. Bds. Briggs is also using the water in an area where there is a $70.00 inclusion fee. This means that the doinpany is furnishing water to an area where the share- holders have paid for the necessary facilities and have been paying interest on such without collection of the necessary inclusioa fees. The Board directed the Manager to write &. Donald Briggs regarding the water he has been using, stating that the records I., I shares to b6 made subject'to, and in the manner rl - \, indicate that no water stock is assigned to this land.
