ment Code Section 54956 of the State of California, on July 1, 1960. The executed copy
of the notice and the affidavit of mailing are attached to the minutes hereto.
President Kelly stated one of the reasons for calling this special meeting was to prese
to the Board the idea of holding two regularxneetings of the Board of Directors a month
He said he felt that for the next six or eight months at least, there is going to be so
much business to transact that one regular meeting a month could not handle all of the
business, and he would like the opinion of the rest of the Board.
Discussion was held by the Directors and all agreed it would be the best policy to have
two regular meetings a month.
Attorney Swirsky arrived at 2:lO P.M. and the president advised the attorney what had
transpired up to this point.

I
818 carried, it was moved that Ordnance #18 be adopted which calls for two regula]

meetings a month, the first and third Tuesday of the month, at 2:OO P.M. at
Truck'. truck for transportation for the new man hired. The question was whether to pur-
chase a good used truck or a new one, and what make. It was the feeling of the
Board that due to the trouble the superintendent was having with the Chevrolet pick-up
dthat another chevrolet should not be purchased until the trouble had been corrected. '
torsion bar suspension has been rubbing on the tires and wearing them out.
After discussion, . Director Carnohan recommended that the superintendent take the truck
back to Wesloh Chevrolet Co. and show them the condition of the tires and see whether tl
are going to fix it or just what they are going to do about it. Director Carnohan advic
he would be willing to go along with the Superintendent when he gods to Wesloh Chevrolei
Co. to see about it.
Director Greek advised the Board he had been doing some checking on the purchase of a nc
truck .and the District could purchase a Ford Falcon Ranchero for $1,735.00 complete, in-
cluding tax. The purchase price on a chevrolet pick-up would be $1,750.00 complete, in-
cluding tax.
I
Discussion was held on whether to get the smaller truck j or the larger pick-up, Presidc
Kelly said he felt the District ought to have some sort of an economy car. Director
Maerkle stated he was very well pleased with the performance of his ranchero and was
getting around 25 miles per gallon of gas.
After discussion, upon motion of Director Carnohan, seconded by Director Coe and unanimc
carried, it was moved that Director Greek ask for other bids on a Ford Falcon Ranchero <
purchase one at a'price not to exceed $1,735.00.
The superintendent then asked the Board for permission to transfer the mobile telephone
from the Chevrolet pick-up to the Ranchero. After discussion, the Board requested the
superintendent to get the price for transferring the 'phone to the new truck, and to alc
get the price for installing a second 'phone in the new truck, and present the figures
at the next Board meeting.
San Marcos A brief report was made by the attorney on the meeting of the Carlsbad Munic
Pipe Line Water District committee with the San Marcos County Water District committet
He said the first point was whether the Carlsbad Municipal Water District wc
District's committee agreed that as far as they were concerned if we had not used that I
water the last six month's period to July 1960, the Carlsbad Municipal Water District m:
have a refund of around $1,800.00 coming back.
The seond point was whether they were going to execute their option to purchase under tl
original agreement, and the committee advised they were not going to execute their optio~
to purchase. It seems they don't have any money and if they did have the money they COI
utilize it for other facilities at a better use.
I
have some money coming back from the last payment of $3,200.00. San Marcos County Wate~
The third point was the possible consideration of the Board to use this line for
storage purposes.
Fourth, the San Marcos County Water District committee said they would recormend to theil
Board that a new lease be entered into for a period of five years, with a transmission
Marcos County Water District uses they will pay $1.00 per acre ft. per mile, and any
water that Carlsbad Municipal Water District uses will be paid for at the same rate.

carried, it was moved that the attorney inform San Marcos County Water District that we P
enter into an agreement with them for a period of five years that we will pay $1.00 per
acre ft. per mile and that San Marcos County Water District would pay the same rate.

Dam Site a brief report on progress being made on the tests on the Squires Dam Site. Ht
stated dthe bulldozing for the road had been completed; the drilling just aboul
accomplished; and soild sample test was being made Wednesday, July 6, 1960.
Termite At this time, Mr. Love a representative from the Tri-City Termite Co. arrive(
Inspection and reported to the Board his findings on termite inspection. He advised thc
Board the building was heavily infested with dry-wood termites. The buildinl
sits close to the ground and is not on a foundation and the only way it could be treated
would be to raise the building up whichjwould be quite expensive. As far as the termite:
in the roof are concerned they could be exterminated at a cost of around $275.00.
After discussion the Board decided they would not do anything about this at the present
time as the feeling was in another two to five years it might be better to build a new
office. The Board thanked Mr. Love for his report and he left.
Boyle Engineering The Boyle Engineering agreement on their work for Improvement Distric,
agreement on the same terms as existed in the previous contract! That any water San
I
Agreement #3 was brought to the attention of the Board for discussion. The
attorney was asked if legally the contract was okay and he advised
there was nothing wrong with it. He advised the percentages were a little higher than
previous contract and there was no inspection included. In Boyle's previous contract
they charged 5.2% plus 3% which included all staking and inspection. In this new contrac
they are charging 5.1% plus .07% and have not included any stake work or inspection. Al;
the wages for field crew have increased.
After brief discussion the attorney suggested that it be recommended to Boyle Engineerin;
to change the working from "total of construction" to "total cost of the construction
contract paid to the contractor". It was then decided by the Board that the Attorney
write Boyle Engineering regarding this agreement, giving them the following changes to bl
reported on at the next meeting.
I
1. Submit a percentage figure based on total cost of the construction contract
2. Include staking in this percentage figure.
3. Why raise the hourly rates of survey crew.
4. Have them submit a set figure for their fee
