DISTRICT HELD "f 21, 1961 AT 2:OO P.M. at 2698 ST&E .STREET, CARLSBPS), CALIFORNIA:
President Kelly called the meeting to order at 2:02 P.M. with Directors Carnohan,
Coe and Greek answering roll call. Mr. Guerin of Schwbacher a.nd Co., Don Martin a
reporter with the Blade-Tribune, Attorney Swirsky, Engineer CLayton, Erwin Kelly,
Project Engineer Kubota, Pipeline Superintendent Tucker and office secretary were
also present.
I Engineer's The engineer reported that basically the thing he had to present was a
Report set of plans to be approved by the Board on the Freeway relocation. He
said this was the job if the board would recall that they pay the cost an
the State will reimburse them, less depreciation on the pipe removed. Probably the
depreciation would amount to about 2% per year. The engineer said his estimate of co
was $22,957.50 and the completion date was for 60 days. He adrii-sed the board this
should be advertised for bids as the State would want to have some assurance the lowe
bid possible was received for this work. To meet completion date the Board would
have to ask fcw bids to be opened April 18, 1961 at 2:OO P.M. and awarded the same
day.
Director Carnohan asked if the State would keep the old pipe or if the District would
The engineer advised it would be the District's and he estimated there would be about
3,500 feet.
After discussion upon motion of Director Greek, seconded by Director Carnohan, and
unanimously carried, it was moved the plans for the Freeway relocation be approved
and bids advertised for April 18, 1961.
The engineer stated the second thing he had to bring up before the board was the
connection for Erwin Kelly and Dr. Pace and he would like to report to the board
he had a meeting with Dr. Pace and Erwin Kelly. The engineer said his idea on this
was they were simply talking about this 6" line to serve themselves but if the Distric
were interested in ultimately extending this to a cross connection, from the District
agreed to pay one-half and roughly you are talking about a total cost of some $15,000
on which the District would put up $7,500. and the owners put up $7,500. and he felt
it would be to the District's advantage to do this.
(Dr. Pace arrived at this jtime)
Director Carnohan stated it might be wise to build a 12" line if they could get ease-
ments to go on through the rest of the way, from the experience we are having now.
Dr. Pace stated the other interested owner was General Kerges who had authorized
him to act for him. President Kelly asked if the owners would be willing to pay one-
half of the expense and they stated they would, and also would be willing to give
easements.
Erwin Kelly asked if they would come under the Ordinance calling for reimbursement
contract and the attorney stated under the Ordinance they could receive a reimbursemer
contract from water revenues.
I
standpoint it might be worth while to make it a 12". Dr. Pace and Erwin Kelly have
Director Carnohan asked the engineer if wejwould have enough in our estimate to handle
this additional cost and the engineer replied we would. The attorney advised the
agreement should be entered into prior to the District letting any contract, and the
funds contributed by the owners to be deposited with the District at that time. The
engineer stated he would get in touch with Ernest C. Collins and Co. and negotiate
a change order.
Improvement The attorney stated in reference to Improvement District #2, Mr. Guerin
District #2 had a report to make. Mr. Guerin said the last time he was down here, tk
said by today they would have a recommendation of a sale of Improvement
District i1#2 bonds contingent on how Improvement #3 bonds moved. He stated that as of
about 20 minutes ago from all they could find out, the Syndicate who bought the bonds
had hardly moved any of them and that no-where was there evidence any of them had
sold at all, and their recommendation would be that no Improvement District #2 bonds
be offered until there is good evidence the Improvement District #3 bonds are on the
way out.
I
Mr. Guerin said this means that for all practical purposes, the market
is gluted of bonds of this kind in this area. Next week $1,400,000. bond issue
for Improvement District #l is to be bid at the Olivenheim District and how those
bonds are received by underwriters will effect-to some extent this issue on Improveme
District #2. He said the Improvement District f2 bonds of this District are a
slightly better deal, but if the Olivenheim bonds do sell this is evidence the
Improvement District #2 bonds will sell. He said he would repeat again that they
therefore would recommend that the Improvement District $'2 bond sale be postponed
until further notice and the further notice depend on the experience in sale of
the Improvement District 1'3 bonds and also the Olivenheim bond sale.
I
The engineer stated they were shooting for a completion date of July lst., and if
the bonds can't be sold within the 30 day period the bids which are due April 4th
will have to be rejected at the end of the 30 days unless the low bidder would extend
the time.
Director Maerkle arrived at 2:50 P.M.
Easements The attorney stated in negotiating on some of the easements it seemed that
I. D. #3 one of the big factors was that there be a committment from the District
that they would have some "T's" . He stated this had been discussed with
the engineer and doesn't present any big problem, but he felt the board should adopt
a policy that the District will put a "T" in the line every so many feet.
The engineer said he felt that if the District was going to put in Itlf:'sr' they should
also put in valves.
President Kelly advised he had talked to the Robinson's and felt they would not sign
unless line rtBrl is changed. Director -Coe reported he had talked further with the
Tootsie K people and they asked again about running additional utilities over this
easement. They do not want any utilities above the ground. They also want "T's".
After discussion the attorney suggest the board adopt a policy to install at least
a minimum of one "T" on each property in Improvement District f3. The "T" to be
placed where the owner likes subject to the approval of the District Engineer.
The engineer stated that a rcTtf and valve would cost approximately $300.00 and that
he would recommend the "T" be 6" and if the owner wanted anything bigger, let him
pay for it.
After discussion it was decided the board would install a 6" "T" with 6" valve on all
Improvement District f3 lines as follows: A minimum of one per property with a
maximum of one every quarter, mile, the rtT'' to be located where the owner desires
subject to the District engineer's approval.
The attorney stated rurther the escrow instructions have all been prepared and a list of the considerations to be made and a motion was in order authorizing the
President and Secretary to sign and the Treasurer be authorized to pay the amounts
specified, and the Secretary be authorized to accept any Deeds of Grant.
Upon motion of Director Coe, seconded by Director Greek, and unanimously carried,
the President and Secretary were authorized to sign the escrow instructions, the
Treasurer authorized to pay the amounts specified, and the Secretary authorized to
accept any Deeds of Grant.
The pipeline superintendent advised the board, he and the attorney had met with Mr.
Hicks and he wants a 2" service. Discussion followed and it was the decision of the
board to install this service. Upon motion of Director Greek, seconded by Director
Maerkle and unanimously carried, it was moved that a 2" service for Hicks be installec
in consideration of granting the District the easement on his property, up to the
cost of a 6" "T" and valve.
The attorney stated, going into the matter of condemnation suit, he said actually
there had been no direct refusals, and those who had requested "T's" were Pre-Mix
Concrete, Max Len, Tootsie "K", and Graham Kelly. In order .to keep the cost down
on the appraisals and filing of suit, hejwould like to coordinate them with the
contractor. As he understood it, the contractor would like to have all three reservoj
sits and the pumping station site first. He said President Kelly had signed.
I.
I
The project engineer confirmed the fact the contractor would like the sites for
the reservoirs and pumping station first. Then go to line E and B-1; then line
A and D-1, and last line C 4'D-2.
