Mrs. Borsum addressed the board stating she wanted to report that considerable road wo: had been done along the proposed main that would cross lot "G" in Improvement District #Z, and she felt thisjwould expedite locating the pipe lines and help the District considerably in their completion date. I City Manager, Mr. John Slater, addressed the board stating at one time there was a statement made that if the city would juse more Colorado River Water, the Carlsbad Munj Water District might come up with a more favorable rate and he said he wanted clarificz of this statement. Director Carnohan pointed out that the District had reduced the rate several months agc but he thought the District would be more than willing to go over their operational set up and see if anything further could be done. He said he felt the board would be more than happy to pass along any reduction in cost if it was possible. However, one thing should be taken into consideration and that is the fact the Metropolitan Water Districl has a schedule on raising Colorado River water rates beginning January 1961, and will continue to raise over seyeral years to come, I The attorney advised the board that before the District adopted the change in the Ordin the board asked that he go to the City and see if they were willing to use more water f the Carlsbad Municipal Water District in lieu of San Luis Rey water. The City Council couldn't make any decision and the board went ahead and reduced the water rate anyway, by 5%. Director Greek asked the City Hanager howlmuch San Luis Rey water the City was using. replied approximately one-half of the water. He stated he had had studies made on it 2 if he can get within close range he would propose to use all Colorado River Water in th system with the exception of North Carlsbad. The board assured the City Manager they would study the records and see what they could come up with. The City Manager and Director Coe left at 3:OO P.M. I. D. Mr. Rafferty of Schwabacher & Go. addressed the board. He said it sounded like 113 District had received some fine bids and he wondered if it would be possible to less bonds. The engineer stated if we build the big pipe line it appears we have a total constructi cost of $723,375.00. To that would be added $50,000.00 for land and right sf:ways, and $100,000.00 for engineering, legal and bond expense, making a total of $873,375.00. Th difference in cost between the big and little pipe line is $78,000.00, and subtracting this from total construction cost would leave $645,375.00. The other elements are the same so there would be $795,000.00 or about $800,000.00. If the District wants to figu interest during construction then $900,009.00 would still be the figure. After lengthy discussion by the board it was decided to put the $78,000.00 cost differe between the large pipe line and the small line on ImprovementDistrict #4 and make the bond issue $800,000.00. The engineer pointed out to the board that eel pipe is starting to get tight and that arithmatic had been checked on the bids, that a letter of intent be written to Ernest Collins to award them the contract on the 28th. of February, assuming the bonds sell. Upon motion of Director Carnohan, seconded by Director Greek, and unanimously carried, it was moved the engineer write a letter of intent to award contract to &nest Collins I is taking anywhere from 70 to 100 days for delivery of pipe and suggested that after th . on the 28th. of February assuming the bonds sell. Qther Director Carnohan stated several meetings ago the board discussed the possibi Business of securing the service.s of Jack Kubota on a short term basis and he was requ . said he had contacted Jack Kubota and talked to him and he would be interested in the p tion on the basis that he would guarantee the District 90% of his time, keeping 10% for two old customers he would want to retain. He agreed to come for $750.00 per months, p transportation, and would be willing to come to work March 1st. After discussion, upon motion of Director Carnohan, seconded by Director Maerkle, and transportation, effective February 15, 1961 instead of March 1, 1961. Pipe-line Superintendent advised the board he had made inquiry on buying some property the airport and found they cannot sell the property due to federal funds being involved He also talked with Dan Viegand and he does not want to sell his property. to talk to Mr. Kubota and see what his reaction would be. Director Carnohan I unanimously carried it was moved that Jack Kubota be hired at $750.00 per month, plus After discussion, the board requested the attorney to draft a letter to the Board of Supervisors regarding the possibility of leasing land at the airport. The engineer stated he had completed his estimate on the Mesa mater Line and he came up with a total estimated cost of $17,868.72 - Lyle Bonn stated his revised figure was $22,312.00. He said on the additional cost ove the engineer's estimate there were several things that entered into it. They put in valves, tees and water take-offs and two concrete air vent tubes. He said they also pu in place a $500.00 installation on the Horne property. After lengthy discussion the board advised Mr. Bonn they would accept the engineer's estimate of $17,868.72, and would not approve any figure above that.
