The engineer demonstrated by use of map on the wall, just about where the lines in phas
"B" would be.

was moved a letter could be written by the attorney to the effect that water is availab'
from the Carlsbad Municipal Mater District in accordance with rules, regulations and
ordinances of this District, and that a wholesale agency will have to be established, 0:
have to exist that will sell retail to them. Thus the Real Estate Commission will show
in their report that there is no permanent water there.

,Director Coe read a letter to the board from Ljk E, Bonn regarding the Leucadia County
Water DiSfcTcjz handling rerail water sales in Carlsbad Municipal Water District, Improv
ment District #2. Mr. Bonn addressed the board and stated dthat the Rancho La Costa ar
will require the facility of a retail water agency by mid-year 1961, and asked the boar
if they would give the matter their consideration. He asked, would they be interested
handling the retail sales end of it, or if not, if they thought the Leucadia County Wat
District's handling itjwould be feasible, or if a Mutual Water Co. should be formed by
Frank H. Xyers & Son.
Lengthy discussion followed, and the attorney was asked if it would be possible for the
Carlsbad Municipal Water District to go into the retail water sales business, and just 1
procedure would have to be taken.
The attorney advised the board the basic policy established by the board at the time thl
system started in operation in 1957 was basically set up as a transmission system and
the board adopted a policy in Ordinance #lo that they intended to operate only as a who
sale agency. All of the connections in the south are known as temporary retail connect
The 'idea was some day all of these areas would be under the control of some retail agen,
and the Carlsbad Municipal Water District would wholesale tolthem. The attorney furthe
advised the board they could change their policy and become a retail agency.
The engineer stated his suggestion would be for the board to talk to other agencies who
have been faced with a like situation, and get their reactions and really make a seriou
study of this.
Director Maerkle stated to the board he thought this was a good suggestion and he recom
ed a committee be appointed to talk with the different agencies and report back at the
next regular board meeting, November 15, 1960.
Vice-president Carnohan appointed Directors Maerkle and Greek to serve on this committel
and stated he would also act on it.
