Ilk. Short stated. that a reservoir= at ?dieadoT;:lark to carry "
the l3,OOO acre f'eet dicference betvreen demand and fu.ll capac- i'cy of the proprjsed line would cost in the neighborhood of
:;l-,0:30,000 if built by Carlsb2.d alone. The Authority figure of 16,000 acre feet storage is ;l,Lb75 ,OCC;) or ,j2,25G, 003 for
71 CIS0 acre feet. There should- be other agencies willing to .""I' ? jom r..ith Carlsbad in bu-ilding the iieszrvgir vhen needed or
who wou". buy storage capacity if Carlsbad buiilt it? Director i?ogers poini;ed ou'c that current annexation proceed-ings for i;lea.dioi:Tla.rk to join 3uena Co1orad.o 3istrict include an option on the site for 3 years for the Authority or its assignees at a. price to be determined by apQraisal prior 'LO completion of annexation, or in 1.955. Possibly Car1six-d should be in posi-
tioil to take up 'chis option, if not taken by the Authority.

Kr. Short ;3oin-ted out possible objecti,xs to the Authori-
ty budlding a. line vith 129cfs capacity now as not baing neede until 1980. 3irector RQgers pcinted out that no one has built a line big enough yet) in the Colorado River aqueduct system. It vas 3.1~9 pointed out that because of the tie in betpreen branch line construction by the Authority and the building of the Second Aaueduct there ??as little likelihood that the Authority could- effect constru-ction of a. line to the Carl-sbad. District in one year and possibly not for four or five years even if they decided to build. it.
it was painted out thzt Cceanside will not renew our contra.ct af"c%r June 1956 and- that they are reluctantly agree- ing to rene;.r it for thz period June 1955 to June 1956.
Fennel "ir. 3'eanel asked- the altermtives and why no pestions other solurLion was possible. The answers were: :'Te cannot get it from Cceanside. To go to the ;l'all'oroo~r lateral ~ould require du'ihoi.ity approval doich is unlikely and. even if approved would no-i; 6 .barantee -- us even a minimum quantity. Thax the San Luis Rey 1s not dependable as a source of supply. That the Authority cannot build a line in time, That by building a line nov: the gains in tax valuation and the incu-eased. income to the community and to property o~vners would. more than gay the difference even if ~qe were able eventually to get the Akhority to build- the line. Yhen built it would not obviate the neces2ity for the lines within the aistrict costing froa 55 to 6O;h of the total.

that a line half a @veri size wou2.d. cost about 75$ as much as the ,given size. If we 'xnow we will need. the capacity beyond what we are leasing to others then it would not be wise to build the smaller line. l-7 illere vas also considered. the possibility of a cheaper gra-ck pipe and constrwtion but 'chis vas stated by hr.
