CALIFGXUA
The meeting was called to order by Chairman Fry.
Present: Directors: XdU, FZY, KELLY, ROGErR3
Absent: Directors: NONE
Also present were Engineers Clayton, Shwt and Xukuk; Attsrneys SsJirsky and Graham Iiell
kessrs. blrn. Cannon, Stewart i&ite, Irwin Kelly, Zobert Garland and 3ick Carboneax.
3iinutes of the June 5th nieeting were ordered held for the next meeting.
.. ~ Water Attorney Graham Kelly presented an a2plicatlon for a temporary retail wal
Connection connection as per Ordinance No. 9. Attorney Swirsky stated that the appl
cation is correct as to fom- but there are deterrdnations remaining to bt
nade by the Soard. he referred to Sections 6 and '7 of the Ordinance re the deposit re-
quired and size, design and location of service ccnnections.
With reference to the deposit, Attorney Kelly noted that there is no way of getting the
estimated cost before the application is made. Fie offered, therefore, to nake the re-
quired deposit as SOOT? as the cost ceuld be established and r.6thFn a reasonable tixe fr
notification. :?e said the covlnection is wanted as soon as 3ossible and before the wate is turned into the line. Engineer Short estinated it would take 10 days to 2. weeks to
obtain the valve necessary. (It would have to be an 8" valve reduced to the 311 of the
application.) Short was unable to give an estimate of the deposit necessary since it
would be necessary to see the location as the topography has considerable effect on the
cost. kie did venture to state that it would. probably be between $1,000 and $1,500 but
serted th2t tbis is only a rough guess.
Director Rogers asked Attorney Belly how much water the Kellys would want to use out of the line. Belly said hedid not know, Director Rogers then pointed out that the result
of the July 9th election will have qcite a bearing on how nuch water will be available.
Director Rogers asked about the possibility of installing the valve without a commitmx
at this tine from the aoard. Engineer Short sta.ted that no great amomt of water would
be wasted at the location under consideration even if the connection were installed aft
water is in the line and that it is exyected that the contractor will have water in the
line by the end of next week anyway and there is a question as to whether the valve cox
be installed before then. He suggested not interfering with the contractor now. The
amount of water wasted, he said, woula not be more than $10.00 worth.
Attorney Kelly expressed the desire to avoid waiting until the road is resurfaced since
that would lead to tbe cost sf again: resurfacing.
Director Lwzld stated that since our Attorney has stated that the a9plFcation is in prc
form, the only thing left is the deteri5nation of. costs by the engineer. Sngineer Shor
said his understanding is that, as yet, the 3oard has not detemined its policy with rc
spect to this and th.at his firm krill analyze the situation and ziake recormendations not
by the Board. It vas :Toted that th? 3istrict is ~.ot kr: a position to settle th.e issue
this meeting. AccordFngly, the zatter was referred to the ikter Problem Copxittee, En

&- 1n;proveen.t about the f easiSility of this, Engineer Short said this is rr.ore of a 1

posed Ixprovenent District No. 2, though the cost would be greater. Xn

The keservoir is corning nicely and wrapping of the outside is now in p-ocess and will .
finished by the ena of this week, in general, Clapsn said, thil~gs are progressing qu:
well. He said that since Xutuzl Pipe Lize @ Construction will have water in their par'
the line as SQO~ as Ealhsdc is ready for it, a teqorary connection doesn't appear to
necessary. Clayton stated that San hizrcos will not require connectiocs oc the line.
I It was noted that there arc to be two Ventukis inserts in the line and it appears that
will be lzte in arrival, but for operation of the line a spool may be inserted until tl
Venturis arrive. Guestions concerning the contrzct in rel2,tion to the late delivery oj
the Venturis will have to be resolved. There w+ll be a yro'blern of San Fiarcos mtering
water to Carlsbad but this can be worked out by San Marcos paging whatever their cha.rgc at the aqGedwt less what they deliver th-rough the zeters with a reaso:xhle axount for
loss. The ba.lznce could be billed to Garls3ade This tsrculd- hzve to 3e continued for a1

Zngineer Shor% stated tht the :resent obligztion of 2o;cl.e Engineering to the District

basis that a representative of hyle Zngineez-ing would atte3.d 211 meetings of the Boar(
for a nominal mnthly retaincr of 325.00. Special investigatims at the instruction o:

Zngineer Short reported. that the Carlsba-6 lcLrtual ':iater Coapny had. requested that Boylc Sngineering subrit an estimte of the cost of provid.irng the c~nnectj.~n,s to the ;iutv.al
system at the *4;llery Fxservoir Valve Stztion, Xutv.al Noe 2 Reservoir Valve St,?.tj.cn and
Cala.vera Y'alve and Xeter Station. Dkze to the fact, Short said, that It
Xu t ua 1 necessary for this Yistrict to be in a position to receive water at a c(
Connections stant rate of flow, it was necessary that the transrLssion nain be tied
was the logical place for the discharge of suqhs water. ht was felt,
therefore, that the cost of the conr,ection should be borne by Q~c9 md the Fiutual join?
Sh.ort stated that his firrn has prepared a break-down of the costs. These xere submittc
to the Secretary ~i2b the suggestion that they be forwarded to the Flutual. Short notec
that the Ellery Eeservoir Qalve Station st the top of the hill is 100% for the benefit
the Phtual and the estirnated cost is $5,927.00. The Xutual Ro. 2 lieservoir Valve Statj
he said, is also 10VA for the benefit of the Piutaal and the estimated cost of this pod
is $15,057.50. Galavera Valve and keter Station, he pointed out, consists of three se!
ate sCructures costing an estimated total of $33,766.00. Since two of these have noth:
to do with the ccnnection of the @WD system to the Zutual, the cost of these should be
borne 100% by W%l. He estimated that the iktual's share of the third structure is 75:
of the cost of that item (Zasterly Meter ~Va~lt)~ .The ?;.atual's share Q€ the total $12,!
$31,359.59. Sh.ort said tkat th.e estinate mde at the tizle the systen was being designe
xas $28,420. for the Ilutual's s'r,are.
Uirector hgers pointed out that the tiztEal does not have the xoney to pay the EIIKIUII~
Clue but that an arrangenent i:qight be aade whereby it wov-ld be taken care of though
services rendered by the htual, He s~i3 a agreement would hawe to be dram and some
consideration given as to whether interest should be charged.
On motion of iiirector Xogers, seconded 5y L'irector Ewald, the Secretary was instructed
to submit the figures (just gsesented by Zngineer Short) to the P!.utual with the seconm
tion that the Piutual mke suggestions as to how this bill zight be 2aid.
