\Vat er Director Rogers made a report on action of 8ater Authority Authority of July 21, 1955. Consulting Engineers Rankin, Longwell, and Hill had, after conference
with Manager Eolngren and Engineer Committee Chairman Shelton,
recommended by letter that the Viater Authority adopt a policy
Of a.ssis”cng in branch line construction where two or more agencies were icvolved and where it was to the interest of the ’dater Authority to ha.ve such line built; Kater Authority to
contribute to cost up to entitlements of agencies involved with agencies contributin6 a proportionate share of total cost if they asked for lines la.rger than required for current en- titlement. This recommendation was read at a combined 2ater
Problems and mgineer and Operations Committee meeting at 3:SO
p,m. July 21, 1955. Opposition to such a program was voiced by Cha-irman Heilbron of the tiater Authority and other City of
San Diego representztives and by some outside agencies who
already had their branch lines built. It was reported to the Board and at the regular Board meeting was referred to the
joint Finance and Engineer Committees for recommendation. Director Rogers stated that there appeared to be only small
prospect of its adoption and that if adopted then the District could take advantake of its provisions. Und-er such a program the Authority would operate all lines with abencies contributi
to replacements only.
It was also reported that a request was submitted to the Xater Authority on July 21 for the organization of a
new San Elijo Ii!unicipal Wa.ter District to include some 35,000
acres and to extend rrom Carlsbad District to Rancho Santa Fe
east of San Dieguito and- to join Bueno Colorado on the South.
It was pointed out that such a District would certainly be in
the market for water. The request was referred to committee.
I It was also reported thet Rincon del DiaSlo had
requested that the Authority guarantee bonds of agencies so that they could obtain lower interest ra.tes and quoted the
a.ction of La Mesa in guaranteeing El Cajon bonds. Chairman
Heilbron opposed the idea because the Authority might be hbli-
gated to pay the bonds in case of d-efault. Attorney Jerinings
stated. that it would probably require a vote of the electorate
of the Authority to authorize such a program.
It was also reported that there was considerable discussion of the Upper Colorado project and of the Feather River Project. Xr. Hill, Consulting Engineer, stated that ther was enough Colorado river water available regardless of the

action taken on the Ui;ger Colorado project to meet the needs
of Southern California for 15 years certainly, 20 years probat
and 25 years possibly, and that the Feather River project shot;
be pushed %O meet these contingencies. The water AuthoriGy
has 'been pushing the Feather River Froject and also has made
sugestions that the 2roposed 2d Aqueduct for San Diego be
made a part of' the program and built at the start of the proje
while the Oroville Dam is .being built, It would deliver Colora
river water until the line Prom Feather river reached San
Sacinto.
Bond Attorney Cennis presented- and read a proposed resc
Sleetion lution coverhk the bond election together with
proposed election precincts and officials, the
amount of the issue and the schedule of events
as follows:
July 23, 1955 Adopt resolution calling election
July 28, 1955 Publish resolution in Carlsbad Journal August 4,1955 Re8ula.r meeting Adjourn to AuGust 2$,1

Aukust 23,1955 Election August 24,1955 Adjourned meeting, Canvass election.
August 12,1955 Coxplete mailing sample ballots.
In discussing the bond election there was kenera1 a.treement that if the '3ater Authority approves a program to help we will take advantage of it. That specific location of
branches including branches to the South Coast, into Carlsbad
and to North Carlsbad would de2end on the desires of the peopl in those areas as far as possible and Ifunds permit, 2nd that no lines would 3e built unless a definite need is demonstrated Also that if later stu.dy shcwed a 26" line to be adequate,
that such a lSne viould. be built.
