Squires The attorney advised the board he was now-able to make a report on the Squirt
Reservoir reservoir site. He stated that-on last Friday P.M. there was a conference h
Site in reference to the pending negotiations between the appraisers and attorney
for the Dawsons, and appraiser and himself for the District. He stated they
went over the reports in detail trying to establish a reasonable market value figure. '
were 52 acres in the site the District desired to acquire. It was agreed that whatever
the change in the acreage might be after the physical survey might be on the top of the
property. The adjustment would be made on that basis. The reservoir site was divided
into three different types of property:
Lower portion - consists of 30 acres
Center It - 'I 15 acres
TOP r;* fl " 7 acres
I1
@n the lower portion both appraisers agreed that the minimum pr$ce would be $750.00 per
acre. On the center portion the starting figures between the two appraisers was $1,500
for the Dawsons and $1,250.00 for our appraiser. On the top 7 acres their figures was
$2,500.00 and our starting figures was $2,000.00. After discussion they came up with
these figures as a possible settlement of this matter! I Top portion - 7 acres - $2,500 .OO
Center 'I 15 acres - $1,375 .OO
giving a total cost basis of $60,625.00.
The attorney stated from the standpoint of considering all factors, it was felt this wa
a reasonable figure. He said it was the understanding the Dawsons had committed themse
to be bound by the figures of the appraiser and attorney, and he beliwed dthe board wa
in a position, if this figure sounded right, to acquire the site for this price, with a
possible reduction in the cost for the fee already paid.
After lengthy discussion, upon motion of Director Greek, seconded by Director Coe, and
unanimously carried, it was moved that the board acquire this land at $60,625.00, assum
that the attorney makes every effort to recover deposit made originally.
The attorney stated he felt the next procedure would be to have the engineer make a phy
survey as soon as possible.
Improyement The president stated the engineer had been detained but had called and gi
District #2 him a message that he had gone over phase B and C of Improvement District
Phase "B" 02 and felt that everything left in the district could be completed for
and *V' $450,000.00 for the entire job, and it was his recommendation the Distric
do this.
I The president stated there were present at the meeting several interested land-owners f
Improvement District #2.
As selling bonds to complete phase B was only discussed previously with Mr. Guerrin of
Schwabacher & Co., the attorney put through a call to Mr. Guerrin. It was their feelin
that in vie of the fact that the district would be able to save the people $100,000.00
the original proposed price, they thought it would be salable, although they felt the
District would not get as many bids as they might on the $300,000.00 for phase B.
San Marcos The superintendent advised the board Mr. Denny Woods, manager of the San County Water Marcos Water District had.called and they would like an informal opin of
District board. They would like to get an 8" connection off our %Line in San Marca

continue at our request or when they have a line available.

ment District #2, what the earliest possible time of completion would be. Th
engineer replied he would figure that late June or early July.
