Mr. Bonn addressed the board and said the Ayres Co. would like, under the supervision
of Boyle Engineering, to go ahead and pay the expense for putting in the line to their'
property line, about 3/4 of a mile down the road, until such time as the bonds in
Improvement District #2 are sold at which time they could be reimbursed. He stated
there was about 100 .acres of land committed for agriculture the first of July. He stat
they would like to know as soon as possible so they could make arrangements to get unde:
way.
The engineer advised that: originally the bond sale was to be held tomorrow. He stated
he had talked to Mr. Guerin of Schwabacher & Co. this morning and at the moment they
were not prepared to recommend a bond sale.
The engineer stated there was one thing he would like to bring up to the board; a line
down El Camino Real to the Ayres property line was not included through somebody's erro
He stated as the Board would recall we were to re-arrange the lines on the Ayres proper
The charge for this could amount to approximately $10,000.00.
The attorney was asked if a bond sale couldn't be arranged within 30 days what would
happen to the bids opened today. He replied they would all be dead unless the low bidd
would give an extension.
The engineer advised the Board that it looked like this project could be completed for
$394,000.00. This does not include this Ayres line. He said Schwabacher & Co. would
be swayed by whether we could make the bond sale $450,000. or $400,00. He said the low
bid received today plus the pipe would be approximately $268,000. Adding $10,000. for
certainly be enough money.
Lenghty discussion followed and it was the decision of the Board that project engineer
check into the matter of the additional line for Ayres and work with the engineer and
report back at the next regular meeting of the Board.

of finishing this road, during work days, but would be agreeable for us to go in on a
,week-end, but it will have to be this week-end or not at all, or until the work is finj
