Engineer Short answered that since the line had not been offered to the District,
not accept any applications for service or connect any meters on such a line until
the line is formally offered and accepted 8s a District line. He suggested that the District be more strict in letting anyone commence construction because at the point of commencement they are tying on to District lines, perhaps control by contracts.
It was generally agreed that a method of procedure be outlined so District rules and regulations would be clearly understood in all future transactions.
As far as Apest new line is concerned, Engineer Short suggested the line be cut at 2100 feet, plugged, and a meter put ahead of the plug, thns considering the 24r, extra feet as a separate extension. (Bill Parry of the San Diego Union arrived at this pol

9. Industries Supply Co., 3-9-59 -- Valve quotations ,
Engineer Short introduced Y?2. Harley Cling, factory representative of the
Cla-Val Company, who was invited to attend the meeting to clarify the price different in the quotations of March 9th and those of January given to Manager Rogers; also to assure the Board that his company unequivocally guarantees their valves in this syste
The January quotation had been given upon request of Nanager Rogers for a specific valve, the Model 19, which is stric%ly a pressure-reducing valve. The March quotati is based on combination valves which are felt necessary after a survey of the system. These combination valves are high velocity and higher drawing, with two different types of control rather than a single control as on the Model 19, hence the differen
in cost. I
Mr. Cling stated the valves are guaranteed for one year from date of shipment,
defective material is replaced free of charge, providing after inspection the materia is found to be defecttve, FOB factory, He said approximately six years of service could be expected before the diaphragm would have to be replaced, or even the seat, and eight or ten yeam for a disc. The valves have a cast iron body, bronze operatin parts, and leather diaphragms .
If the valves give any trouble before three years, the Cla-Val Company should be notified, Mr. Cling continued. After a three-year period, a regular schedule should be set up, valves opened and inspected. Cla-Val salesmen are trained to take care of
their equipmant in the field, After installation, the Company would be glad to send a service representative to adjust the valves and instruct in their care, but the District would be expected to maintain them. If help is required, however, Cla-Val
is always glad to give it,
Director Carnohan moved that the Board authorize the purchase of the valves in accord
of that quotation, as follows:

Engineer Short explained that Item 7 is not a replacement and not needed; while Item t is a replacement for a valve installed initially only to protect the system during construction of the concrete reservoir; it has served its purpose so there is no point in replacing it.

No. 16 procedure which leaves no question. Basically: any person that wants to build any type of permanent line would have to have the eonstruction
engineer run the preliminary design study (only the District Engineer is qualified to tell which type of line is required) at the cost of the applicant. Then, the report would come in to the Board and the Board, upon recammendation of the engineer, would determine whether or not this is a primars distribution line. No matter what type of
line it is, up to this point the procedure is the same

Paul Ecke Supt. Hausladen informed the Board that Paul Ecke wants the privilege of filling a smaU reservoir (100 act) on Ms land without paying the City rate. Last year he cut dam on flower production because of lack of water. His proposal was to fill the reservoir during the winter months when the line could
handle it, then ~~~tmp it aut in the summer and buy it. Executive Secretary Inwrie

We of Superintendent Hausladen asked that the policy on meters be clarified. Meters Engbeer Short remarked that since the beginning of the District, Herseg
meters have been used exclusively, primarily because Hersey is about the
only manufacturer of the kge meters. He feels that the District is well advised to more or less standardise on the make of meter so a large stock of parts is unnecessaq
Short recanunended staying with the Hersey Company and the Hersey meters,
Mr* Hausladen then inquired if it would be all. right to install a second-hand meter
which a customer had bought and had certified. The engineers replied that it would be satisfactory if the meter were factory certified and for irrigation only, Domestic
meters should be new-
