Director Rogers again brought up the matter of , Calavera Lake the filling of Calavera Lake in order that there might be
at least 400 acre feet in storage there by April lst, This would
conform with the report of the Manager made on November 15th, which
report was approved' by the Board of Directors and made a part of
the minutes of the Regular Meeting of November, 3.954. The Manager
stated that he had actively engaged in the program laid out in the
November report, and that to the best of his knowleadge, 400 acre
feet of water would be in Calavera Lake on April Ist, He stated
that if we had to increase the rate of flow to Calavera Lake, we
would have to increase the water pressure on our #3% system. The
general consensus of the Board was for the Manager to increase the
pressure as long as the number of leaks did not become excessives
X Storage Director Rogers then explained the limited 1 San Vicente
capacity of the Oceanside-Fallbrook lateral and said
that there was not much use in storing water in San Vicente
as there woXd probably be no capacity to bring it to us when we
needed it, 3k stated that the Mutual had originally asked for
208 acre feet to be stored in San Vicente, and Terramar had asked
for 150 acre feet, but that because of the fact that it would appear
impossible to get water'from San Vicente during the summer, the
Municipal had asked for only 225 acre feet, to be prorated,
Director Rogers then moved, seconded by Director Robinson
and carried unanimously: E
BE IT ORDERED that the Mutual approve the action 55-2 6f the Caslsbad Municipal Water District, and the Secretary be directed to notify the Municipal to cut our request for storage in San Vicente to appro- imately 130 acre feet,

as fire hydrants could be installed at Grand and CarLsbad
Boulevard and Grand and Ocean, There is approximately 600 feet
of 6" line on Grand between Carlsbad Boulevard and Ocean, It
would be to the Company's advantage to replace it,

. 933 9 d 1 td The Manager presented the laboratory report of Laboratory
Reports Dr. Carl 1Nilson: stating that they were all good except
one isolated sample which was unsatisfactory.
The Manager then presented his report on the Oceanside
Water Oceanside water meter and introduced Mr. Charles Alden Illeter
of the Neptune Meter Company, manufacturer of the Oceanside
metere Mr. Alden took the floor and discussed water meters,
including their design, operation and limitations. Ye explained
to the Board the operation of current type meters. In his pre-
sentation, he referred to Page 12 of "Manual of Water Meter
Practice11 By the Neptune Meter Company, which quotes as follows:
"One of the objections raised against current meters relates to their tendency to over-register when the blades sf the wheel become clogged with,sediment or - foreign material, This conditinn causes a decrease in the cross sectional area of the openings between the blades and as a result for any given rate of flow
the water must of necessity pass through these openings .at a higher velocity compared with the velocity through the original openings, This abnormal and high velocity
.is actually reflected in an over-registration as this registration is a function of the speed sf the wheel, which in turn depends upon the velocity of the water passing through the blade openings, This condition may be kept under control and quite easily overcome by a semi-annual or annual inspection and test of all current meters,or of all meters which are comFosed in par$ of current meters,"
Mr. Alden verified and approved Mr. Trygg's reports, stating
that foreign matter got into the meter, and that such foreign
matter caught in the meter would cause it to over-registeg; also or under-register;
that air caught in the upper portion Of the meter Would have the
same effect.
Mr. Phelps then took the floor and discussed the report and
the meter. He stated that he approved the reports subaitted
by Mr. Trygg and approved by the Board of Directors concerning
the meter,
Director Robinson stated that he thinks the Municipal should
be asked whether they will not push this thing along with
313
Oceanside, He thinks it only just and proper that we should present
these figures to Oceanside. -It should be brought out to Mr, Weese *
that it is his responsibility as much as ours.
The Manager said that we had not check meter last
summer and the only reason he had found the shortage which occurred
then was because he was trying to prove to the Board that the new
pipelines were improving the system. Previously, there was'no record
kept which showed wat6r losses, Nod we have the check meter and are
able to present the Board with the figures,
Director Anthony said that the Municipal should be
notified as soon as any discrepancy shows up in the meter readings,
Director Rogers requested that the District be given

Newspaper The Directors then discussed the newspaper publicity Publicity which ha.d followed the release of the report concern-
ing the Oceanside water meter, The Manager then inqdired from the
Board of Directors whether or not he was required to submit records
and approved reports of the Carlsbad Mutual Water Company to share-
holders on demand. The Board agreed that shareholders should be
allowed to see such material when they so desire.
San Luis Rey President Hagen stated that he had signed the corn- Adjudication plaint on the San Luis Rey Adjudication lawsuit.

January 19, 1955
To the Honorable Board of Directors Carlsbad Mutual Water Company Carlsbad, California
Gentlemen:
SUBJECT: OCEANSIDE WATER METER
In the past, there has arisen the question con- cerning the amount of Metropolitan water we have received from the City of Oceanside through the meter installed by the City of Oceanside. As stated in my previous reports, it appears that although the Oceanside meter might be desirable to measure water, it must be operated under conditions for which the meter was designed, For your information, I quote from Page 12 of the "Manual of Water Meter Practice" issued by the Neptune Meter Company, from whom Oceanside purchased their meter:
"One of the objections raised against current metersElates to their tendency to over-register when the blades of the wheel become clogged with sediment or foreign material, This condition causes a decrease in the cross sectional area of the openings between the blades and as a result for any given rate of flow the water must of necessity pass through these openings at a higher velocity compared with the velocity through the original openings. This abnormal and high velocity is actually reflected in an over-registration as this registration is a function of the speed of the wheel, which in turn depends upon the velocity of the water passing through the blade openings, This condition may be kept under control and quite easily overcome by a semi-annual or annual inspec- tion and test of all current meters or of all meters which are composed in part of current meters.1t
Several months ago, you authorized me to purchase and install a meter of our own in order that we would be able to check the amount of water being delivered to US, For your information, I am listing below the meter readings obtained on the Carlsbad meter and the Oceanside meter. Col- umn 4 shows the difference between the two readings:

Oceanside Water Meter - 3

were notified by the City of Oceanside after they had cleaned the meter, that the meter had been cleaned.
(3) On approximately January 5th, it became apparent that the discrepancy in the meter readings was changed from a positive reading to a negative reading increasing to 25% and the City of Oceanside was contacted January 12th, The Ocean- side meter was disassembled in the presence of Mr. Hardin of the Carlsbad Mutual Water Company,
trpon disassembly of the Oceanside meter, foreign material was found in the blades of the meter and also in the meter body, indicating a condition existing such as is described on Page 12 of the Meter Practice Book issued by the Neptune Meter Company, manufacturers of said meter, After cleaning the meter and the removal of all foreign material, it was placed back in operating condition and a check was made against our Carlsbad meter. The readings indicated that the meter was returned to its normal operating condition. This can be seen by comparing the figures as listed.
CONCLUSIONS :
(1) It is now apparent that similar conditions to meter water are not enough to insure accuracy of flow measurements when foreign matter is presented in the water, such as stated on Page 1 of this report,
(2) I have been talking to Mr. Weese of the City of Oceanside, but I have been unable to convince him of these extraordinary operating conditions which apparently exist,
(3) Continued steps should be taken by the City of Ocean- side and the Carlsbad Mutual to insure that we are receiving the water for which we are paying, It is thought that this is an operating problem between the two operating heads, but inas- much as limited progress has been made to date, suggestions of the Board of Directors would be appreciated at this time,
(4) In order that the Board of Directors may more fully understand the problems involved, we have present today a repre- sentative of the Neptune Meter Company who will explain to you the different types of water meters in use and their limitations for correct operation, Please feel free to ask this representa- tive any questions that you might have,

mtlemen:
On the following pages, 1 am presenting a proposed budget )r your consideration, In order that you may have a better insight \to the problems faced by our Company and other companies, I am lpplying the following supplemental information:
1, Achievements of the past year and' the present condition T our water system,
2. An article published in the American Water Works Journal,
3, A section on Water Rates,
hring the past year, the Company has completed the cleaning
Id lining of all of our main transmission lines into Caz-lsbad except .OO feet located in the 5an Luis Rey, This has resulted in less time id money being spent in maintenance and has enabled the Company:.to ?rve its shareholders more and cleaner water,
In the distribution system, we have replaced many obsolete .nes, Replacement of these lines means better pessure and a better lality of water is made available to the shareholders. In cases lere distribution lines were replaced or repaired, all water services Id water meters were brought up to current standards, This involved
le repair or reFlacement of approximately 200 meters and 125 water !rvices. There are approximately 800 sub-standard services now in
le system,
In addition to this, the City of Carl-sbad has installed a lmber of fire hydrants on these lines. A very favorable example! ! the value of these lines and fire hydrants was shown in the recent .re on Carlsbad Boulevard, If these water lines and hydrants installed
t the past year had not been available, this fire would have been far )re serious m
The Company has taken advantage of the numerous fire hydrants tstalled to use as blow-offs to remove dirty water from the dis- :ibution system, and as a result, the complaints concerning dhty Iter have decreased considerably over the past year,

By JOHN 13. hlL%DOCH, 33. Vice ?resident and Counsel, American '?later Narks Service Company, Philadelphia
Short-term results in public acceptance of the need for increased water revenues can usually be obtained by comparatively simple pocedures;, Worth-while long-term results require a 2hange in the mental attitude of water works officials and a
jlOvJ, laborious educational canipaign, Yater customers are 3cnerally fair minded and can be counted upon to do the equitable and just thing once they have been given an honest, thorough xesentation of facts needed to forn a well-grounded judgment.' 4 showins of increased costs of operation over the years, as :ompared with increases in revenues, has often proved sufficient to lead to public acceptance of a wed for a rate increase, Actual decreases in the dollar amownt of net operating incorm
3re far from exceptional in growing communities, and the public
2t once understands that such trends mean disaster if allowed to continue, Tn.other instances, it can be demonstrzted, by :onparison of figurer; for significant periods, that, although the dollar anounts of net oserating revenues are increasing, the 2ercerltage of operating revenues used up in operatinc; expense - the operating ratio is also - increasing, while the plant invest- nent and the iwestmnt per added customer are srowbalfinz. Asain the Fublic will understand and accept rate increases;,
Too few water works officials and too few .of their customers realize the true cost of water service. KO matter wk,at the 3ources of funds - taxes, municipal bonds, front-foot assessments, real estate devclouments, coraorate bonds, common stocks, or' con- tr2butions - the ?ssential public the contributors

In the long run, a. revolutionarp change in the attit.ude of water works officials is required, Several years ago a study was made of typical public water supply enterprises, Old newspaper flle;; for the pcrioti of developcnt were examiced in public llkraxies, It is of interest to note that an intensive cnn1p,3i;n always had to be carried on by a few public-spirited loaders aad tllat Fublic apathy was evicierrk* The leaders stressed ti12 nee,$ for public fire service and €or streEt spzinklinS to wet ciowri sunner dust, The households were then clepmdent on wells and clsterns for their water, and, at first, little emphasis was placed on thc advantages DE a supply for domestic use, Later, when it becam evident that, to LE f' Lnw:cially successfxl, tka public water supply ayctem needed dorncstic users, the officials sold their service in competition with the wells and ciste~t-s, r~;ey argued convenience, but they stressed Low Frice. As knowled~e of the incxeasinc; health hazards of p5vate bac!:yard supplies was acquired, the idea of pblic sup;3lies for donestic use became generally accepted, but the curse of the old emphasis on cheap pricc remias, :'later officials still a.ct as tho;l$ thcy were in competition wi-th F;rivate._supplies on a price basis. They still plead poverty as an excuse for inadequate service, a1tllou;h vhat the conmuni-ty wants is hishest quality, adequate .quantity and wide evailahility.

NO. 3. WATER A4TES
In response to request by members of the Board of Directors, an presentin2 the following material concerning water rates for
~1: consideration:
There has been much discussion concerning water rates in the
5t and for that reason, I am attaching a copy of "Water Rates wal" published by the American Water Works Association, for your ~dy and consideration. I consider this to be the best source of formation available on water rates,
In the use of this htanual, it is hoced that you will study it
j interpret It to present day conditions: The tables listing meter 3rges and water rates are only inserted to illustrate points and
2 not meant in any:.way to represent desirable or necessary rates r any community, At all times you should remember that we have a rticular w.ater system with its own peculiar problems, and that in der to give the cowumer the necessary quality of service, funds st be made available,
Following are some of the rates for typical water utility npanies and departments in.the area. A brief comurent is given on :h .

IECOkMENiIATIONS:
In order that the shareholder with insufficient stock Mill not benefit at the expense of the shareholder with sufficient stock, it is suggested that the present rate 05 water used in zxcess of entitlement be increased to the former figure of 204 (or more) per 100 cubic feet. At the present time, it is of no 3enefit to the small shareholder to own sufficient water stock
3s he can get the water he needs without it. Also it should >e remembered that it costs approximately $.20 per 100 cubic Feet to deliver water to our shareholders, and certainly a non- shareholder should not receive water for less than a shareholder. Ct is therefore respectfully requested that the Board of Directors 2liminate this inequality among shareholders and raise the price For excess water.
It is necessary that the Directors provide adequate revenue ko enable the Company to operate. It should be remembered 2t all times that' we are providing to the community the most Sssential service, and we must therefore govern ourselves accord- ingly. ..
nost desirable type of service over a period of years. Good service will probe to be the least expensive and

:tern 4, There is an existi..ng: 16" - '13" steel line connecting #5 Booster Station and $1 Res.ervoir, It is'thought.very desirable'. :hat this.line be cleaned and cement lined a.t th'e ear1i.est practicable lime in order to protect the pipe.; Xt is to be noted that portions >f this line are under'approximately 100 pounds pressure .and the pipe is installed above the surface of the ground, The total cost would )e 837,97.20, ,Assign one third of the cost to ma.intenance and the imount charged to assessment would be $2,532.00,,.
Item 5, At the present time, we have only sufficient wells of suitable quality in the San Luis Xey to maintain our smallest booster mmp. It would be very d,esirable to drill an additional well. during :he coming year in order that we may have a reserve, -Under present Zonditiohs, we would not'be able to maintain water service during the ;urnEer without Ketropolitan water.
:tern 6. Pipeline to conn.ect new hell, This is the estimated cost
If a pipeline from the pro'posed well to the sump, The exact cost :ould only be determined after the well is located.
:tern 7.. ,Reconstruc% f#5 Booster' Station. As has. been reported to :he Board several 'ti:nes.in the past, this Eooster Station supplies 111 the water from San Luis Rey River to the water system, At the mesent time, the discharge lines leading from the pumps are in rery bad condition, If one of these 1ines.were to break, the pumps tnd-motors would be submerged in water, This would mean that the lotors would have' to be sent to a shop for overhaul, This would not mly cost considerable money, but would mean that we, would have no vater supply available from San'Luis Rey during .that period. In a ?eport tomtha Board during 1954, I recornmended'that this station be :ebuilt, together with several other items such as rebuilding the sump in the San Luis Rey and the well collection system. ,
'Since that' time, 'I have contacted several manufacturers ind found that we can install 'vertical turbine booster pumps instead
If .the present horizontal booster pumps. This would mean that the lotors would be above ground and that the sump and collection .system vould not have to be changed, This would also mean that we would have )ur motors above the surface of the ground so that they can be in- ipected.. It is suggested that the present 200 H. F,. unit be replaced )y a 100 I-I, F, pump in order that we may pump better'water slower. hch change would result in lower power standby rates, yet maintain lesirable pumping standards..
It is suggested that the ,150 M. F, horizontal unit be :eplaced by a 150 1I.P. vertical pump. The estimated cost of $10,000. .s based only on preliminary figures and is subject to change, If ;his work .was .done, we wou1d'~have new pumps 'and a ,desirable pumping Aant in place of the very unreliable..presen.t plant,
:tern 8F. Our present air compressor is in need of a complete over-# laul. The estimated cost of such an overhaul is approximately $800. :t is thought preferable that a new air compressor'be purchased, as ;he old one was second hand when acquired by the Company;
:tern 9, This is a gravity supply line serving ,downtown Zarlsbad,
:he' 14 inch line has been in the ground since-1914 and we have had
It least 7 leaks in the line in the last two years. It is thought

As explained previously, a 'program of rcplacenent of 15,000
1 17,090 feet of pipeline per year, if continued for approximately
n years, would result in.brinGing the system u? to minimum standards
that time. It is therefore recommended that items of pipeline
1placernen-t and addition program from 1 to 19 inclusive, with the
'sslble elimination of Item 13 and the addition of Items 20 and 21,
provided for.
Items 20 to 35 inclusive are considered urgent at this Lime
,t the inclusion of such items. in the 1955 budget would resslt ir.
increased assessment over previo'cls years. It is thought that we
n continue to drive redwood plugs Ln the lines and placate share-
Idem concerning dirty watez complaints for an additional several
nth s .
If the recozlrnended itevs are to be provided for, it would
quire $133,935.66, Of this amount of money, we can cxpect.to
ceive $43,130 from depreciation collected through water revenue.
is leaves $90,G05,66 to be raised by means of assessment. It is
ggested that the hard levy the required assessment in two
stallmats so as to facilitate records and bookkeeping, A levy
$23.00 per: share might be assessed for the.ngular assessment
JanGary, and a second assessment 'be made in ,I.'.ay in the arnouat
$22,40 per share,
h'2 EPST S :
it is anticipate0.that if the Company receives financi-a1
sistancc for which it is now negotiating, the yearly assessment
the pesent area of the Carlsbad I\'utual .dater Company can be
abilized at approximately $30.00 per share, Therefore if the
an is approved before Kay of 1955, it is suggested that the second

ssessment for 1955 could be cut to $10,00 per share, thereby
pproximatins the required $30,00 per share as planned,
.* It is considered by many persons that the service area of
he Carlsbad Mutual Water Company could be extended, thereby in-
reasing the number of shares in the Company and also providing an
utlet for the sale of more water, The recent low sale price of
he Carlsbad h”itua1 Water Company stock indicates that th.e general
ublic is uncertain as to what is required to receive water service
n new areass If it were to be understood that the cost of receivins
later on such acreages extends from an absolute minimum of $300 per
cre (as in th e case of Fallbrook) to a much higher figure in

There was a general discussion of the pending suit, Director
Ingels said that Walter Johnson has sold the land on which our
wells are located, He sold approximately 207 acres to Josepha
I
.
for $100,000,
The Manager presented the proposed Operating Proposed Budget for Budget for 1955, There was a general discussion among 1955
the Directors concerning the various items listed. Director
Rogers stated that he does not approve of the note on the bottom
of the page regarding rates for excess water.
After some further discussion, Director Rogers moved, seconded
by Director Anthony and carried unanimously:
"BE IT ORDERED that the proposed operating 'budget in the sum of $196,300 for 1955 be approved."
The budget as attached was then discussed at Proposed 1955 Budget to be
Assessment and length, r The Mandger said 'that it had been checked . Financed by
by Mr. Browning, engineer for the Pacific Mutual, and Depreciation
also by Mr. Phelps, our own Consulting.Engineer,
DirectoE Rogers stated that he would put #2.priority on
Items 4, 5, 6 and 7. He does not think they have to be handled
right mow,
Mr. Phelps then took the floor and said that he recommends
that.the amount of money recommended by the Manager be made
available, to finance the proposed budget. If it appears in
the future that the money need not be spent, the -money should be
saved for other priority needs,
The Manager presented'letters from the State Health Department
and the County Health Department regarding Items 11 and 12. These
letters are.made a part of the-minutes,
Mr. Ingels stated regarding the drilling of a new well
that if we do not show that we are developing to protect our water
3
rights, we won* t have anything to counteract 'any action the
new owners may take against us. We should drill a new well,
~ Director Robinson said that the Booster Pump is very
r
important, as we almost lost it last year. We cannot pump
anything from the river if it goes out. It would take a minimum
of two to three weeks to repair it.
.-
There was a discussion of the purchase of a new air
compressor and the Directors recommended that the Manager look
into the matter of the repair and rebuilding of the old one,
Regarding the 1951. Plymouth Coupe, the Manager stated
that it has 67,000 miles on it and is in very bad shape. We have
been replacing the business'coupes every four years.
He also said that our pipefinder is about gone ,
The leak pump was authorized in last year's budget, .but
was 'not purchased.
Discussion.then followed.of the various ,proposed neces-
sary pipeline replacements. The Manager said that Mr. Browning
had definitely advised that we go ahead with the normal.budget
and if the loan goes through, we can cut down the assessqent, He
thought we could put 'out an assessment i'n January,' and..theo if
the loan did not go through, we could have another assessment,
Director Rogers said he is opposed to any increaqe in
water rates at this time, We have been for the past two years
or more borrowing money from the shareholders to make improve-
ments in the system. That would be desirable, but the share-
holders-just cannot stand it. , We are now in the process of
negotiating a loan and making a new contract for water. He
personally strongly opposes any heavy assessment this year.for
any repairs that can be postponed, stating that it is time to let
. - ”. -
344
the people use the water. He proposed that we make an assessment
at this time to cover the fixed charges that we are going to have
to pay.’ If we do it that way, we will not have a repair budget ‘and
then we can vote for each item each month if it is needed, Approve
each item, one by one, until we see what is going to happen,
Director Robinson said he takes the opposite stand. He does
not think we want to go for a $54.00 assessment, but thinks we would
be making the same mistake the City of Carlsbad made when they went
into a 654 tax rate and then boosted it up, We are. already up to the
top and he thinks we can do a* good public relations job by reducing
the assessment, but not so far,
Director Rogers said he does not approve of a lot of work
to be done at the discretion of the Manager, Me stated that the
loan should be pushed,
Director Robinson agreed that we have to push the loan, but
we will need at least $20 to $30 assessment without fail:
There was some further discussion of water rates, and Director
Anthony said that he could not see selling water for anything less
than it costs us,
Director Rogers stated concerning the assessments that we
have tried the system o€ heavy assessment, and he believes that if
we would hold the assessment down and try to get a loan, we would
sell more water and get more done at less cost.
Mr. Byrl Phelps said he believes that our water rates have
been €air for the last year, We know they are not going to increase
the Carlsbad avocado groves. Subdivision acreage and lots are the
ones we have to take care of. It is not possible to push through
the matter of the loan until we have a great many facts. Therefore
if you made a $45,00 assessment and the loan goes through, the
3g5
the assessmer.t could drop to $25, You could then go back to
the people and tell them that you have made tho loan, but in
the meantime, you have protected them,
Director Rogers stated that if we appropriate this money,
we will spend it.
hhr, Byrl Fhelps then said that if the Directors have not
been to the pump house and seen the conditions, they are not
familiar with them, He believes that each item should have a
priority in the budget we are setting up. Even then, something
may go out that will have to have first priority. He recommends
that the Eoard set up a priority and theR work to it,
Director Anthony said it might not be necessary to say we
were going to have a $45 assessment, but could take $25 or $30
now, and if the loan does not come through, make another assess-
ment later on,
Mre Phelps replied that people do not like to have you
make an assessment and then come back later in the year with another
one, unless they are told that the secund one may be a possibility,
It was then decided tha,t the entire amount of the proposed
1355 Budget to be Financed by Assessment and Depreciation, which
amounts to $288,894-16 as listed, constitutes work that is urgent
for the Company. In order that excessive assessments will not be
required, it was suggested that the entire budget be approved,
subject to a monthly review of the priority of the projects, such
projects to be approved by the Board monthly.
&A 1 + st of expenditures
Xrector Rogers stated that the Board has approved the
Operating Budget for 1955 and the essential work to be done in
the year 1955 in accordance with the submitted budget, There is
approximately $40,000 in depreciation in the Operating Budget which

In the event that the loan is not negotiated or for any re bason
? are unable to get thg necessary financing, or in case of emergency,
: may be necessary to make an additional assessment on or about

Director Rogers moved, seconded by Director Robinson, and
rried unanimously:
WHEREAS this Corporation is in need of funds for 55-11 the purpose of financing a portion of the Budget for the current 'year; and
WHERE4S there is a probability that a loan will be forthcoming which will enable the Company to do a large portion of the work approved in the proposed budget for 1955;

c.
The Manager then stated that he would need to keep
his men busy during the ne'xt few weeks, and after discussion,
Director Robinson moved, seconded by Director Anthony and
carried una-nimously:
55-LiA 3E IT. ORDERED that the Manager is hereby authorized
to make necessary expenditures:during the next 30 days of not to exceed $lO,OOO.

given consideration to aip increase ir, the Manager%
wage scale,

Director Rogers said that he is not in favor of any increas,e
1
at this time with the present state of our finances,
Director Robinson said that he would like to see the question
of the Manager% salary stabilized and that any increase should
hold good for a year, Fie stated that his feeling is that the
ganager's salary should be reviewed, but only on an annual basis,
Director Rogers rnobed that no action be taken at this time,
3ut there was no second to his motion.
Director Ingels stated that under present conditions, while
ye are trying to borrow money to make ends meet, he does not think
.t is time for any raise,
Director Robinson replied that probably that is true, but that
;he Board v\& faced with the question of a raise' for the Manager
ix months ago, and he for one would like to see it settled rather
han take it' up every six months,
Mr. Trygg then discussed the matter, stating that he had
earned a lot since he has been Manager of the Company, He said
e feels that the Board and the Company have had competent service
nd information as to what is going on here. He thinks that he
>finitely has something to offer the Company and the community,
3 would like to be considered as an individual that has something
I offer. He is. taking a great deal of responsibility, and is
Inning the Company not on 48 hours a week, but on 24 hours a day.
! would regret it if it became necessary to bo outside work on
le weekends ,
i
7
Director Rogers said if he didn't like it, he should quit,
Director Anthony itated that he believed that he had expressed
s opinion about Mr. Trygg's work previously, and that he thinks . Tsygg has done a very good job, We are a going concern and can

J
get the mmey, he is sure, Mr. Trygg has saved the Company a
great deal of money, This idea of resigning if you don't like
it might be said about a great many people, Director Anthony
continued that he would not Bike to see Mr. Trygg quit, as he
felt that during the period that he has lived in Carlsbad, Mr,
4
Trygg is the first manager who has known anything about water.
He can sincerely say that he is for Mr. Trygg. He has heard
some objections to Mr. Trygg*s public relations attitude, but
has seen several places where he has saved the Company far more
than his salary.
Mre Phelps then took the floor and speaking as Consulting
Engineer for the Conpany said he felt that salaries should be
adjusted once a year, He does so with his own employees. He
thinks the Company not only has a Manager in Mr. Trygg, but a
man who has very fine qualifications as an engineer. Mr. Fhelps
said that his own bills have been minor because Mr. Trygg has
analyzed the problems which amse and taken them to Ilk, Phelps'
office, thereby saving him a great deal of work, Mr, Trygg has
done not only a Manager's job but an engineer's job as well,
Rir, Phelps feels strongly that there should be some salary adjust-,
ment at the end of the year, If a man does an outstanding job,
he should receive something for it. It is customary throughout
all organizations to do this; The only way we can reward anyone
is to give them a little more money. If you have a man whose enti
Lime is devoted to your job, then you should consider a raise.
Director Ingels said that-when l it comes to engineering
and water setup, hlr, Trygg has done a good job, It is just a
question of what the rest of the Eoard wants to do on a wage
adjustment,
~irs'c two paragraphs deBe'czti at request 0% Director ~ogers
'Director Rogers stated that he is opposed to a wage increase
" _-. 352
' '..
as he feels that the Manager is getting all the money he is wqrth,
He said that Mr. Trygg had released the Board*s Budget to the
newspaper against the orders of the Board of Directors, and if he
does it again, he should be discharged,
President Hagen then stated that he himself had released the
., '
Budget to the Carlsbad Journal and that the Manager had had nothing
to do with it,
Director Robinson said that he would like to suggest that the
Board set the Manager's salary up on an annual basis, If the Board
gives the I\i:amager a $58 a. month raise at this time, it should be on
an annual basis and he is very much opposed to bringing the matter
up every six months, Director Robinson thinks it is time all of
us took a clearer: view of the matter and that the Manager should
understand that there are certain methods of handling things that
are better than others, Technically, his work has been very fine,
but he should rely more on President Hagen or the rest of us.
" Director Robinson then moved, seconded by Director Anthony:
BE IT ORDERED that the salary of the 55-13 Manager be increased $50 per month, to be effective as of January 1, 1955,
AYES: Directors Hagen, Anthony, Robinson and Ingels,

The Manager stated that he had driven 814 miles in Manager's
his car on Company business, during the past 30 days. Allowance
He also reported to the Board on the investigation of a
Company owned vehicle for the Manager, Using a standard passenger
car at minimum price of $2300, figuring depreciation, license,
capital cost, gasoline, lubrication, oil and miscellaneous expense,
the minimum figure arr'ived at was 990,OO per month. The Directors
then discussed the advisability of ownir,g such a vehicle by the Company,

BE IT FWTEER OXiIERED that the disposal of the old Dodge truck be tied in with the new car purchase,
Eandling of The Manager stated that we have changed our system Stock of handling the stock and have now gone to a card
index where we have a double check on it. This new method should
save considerable money for the Company in addition to insuring
accuracy in the future,
Damage at The hknager reported that someone tore the top off Calavera Lake our water meter at Calavera Lake several days ago,
but did not damage the meter, We lost one motor on a low voltage
during the recent weeks,
Terramar Mre Trygg said that Terramar Water Company is
taking approximately one half acre of water per da.y,
Roo s eve l t The h'ianager reported that Company forces are com- Street pleting and connecting the line on Roosevelt Street
and connecting the necessary water services,
Carlsbad Atre Trygg then reported that Gallinger said he Estates would have his money by the 1st of February, '&
wapt to be sure that we get the Booster Station moved at his
expense a It should be in the contract that he is to move it.

showed the Directors where it would run on the
map, stating that the matter was to come up the next day at the
meeting o€ the Authority Engineering Committee, This proposed

Director Rogers stated that the Board has approved .' 35<
the Operating Budget for 1955 and the essential work to be done
in the year 1955 in accordance with the submitted budget, There
is approximately $40,000 in depreciation which will help take care
of some of the necessary repairs, There is necessary work which
;.?&By"
A
should be done approximating $200,000, However, the Company is now
in the process of negotiating a loan which would enable the Company
to perform this work without assessing the shareholder for capital
improvements, In that event, a $20,00 assessment will be enough
to cover the service of this loan, or in the absence of the loan,
to cover the service of current indebtedness and other fixed extra-
7-f-L ordinary expenses, Assessment to cover these figures is to be $20, 4
In the event the loan is not negotiated or for any reason
we are unable to get the necessary financing, or in case of emergency,
it may be necessary to make an additional assessment on or about
July 1, 1955 in the amount of $20 or $25. 8
Director Rogers so moves; Director Robinson seconds; carried
unanimously,
I
line is coming just east of Calavera Lake, and from our standpoint
in the District, the area that is going to use the most water is
apI;arently going to have to use pumped water, Director PLogers said x that he had talked to-Air. Short, ensineer for Boyle Engineering who
are representing the Carlsbad hlunicipal Water District, and asked -
him whether it could be brought closer. HIS estimate of the cost
is a little over S5,000,000, and-based on the capacity the pipeline
will have, he figures $50 an acre foot. Director Rogers asked
whether the Cornjany has any thoughts or-recommendations they would
like to make as to where the' linezought to go, and said that the
Company should be taking more interest in the matter.
