Engineer Clayton, Acting Manager Kubota, Superintendent Tucker, Mrs. Borsum, Dr. Pace,
Stanley Kelly, Irwin Kelly, E. Tennyson of E. C. Collins Company and office secretary
were also present.
The manager advised the board that he and the superintendent had met with Mr. Rust in
regard to leasing .some land at the airport to establish new offices for the District.
Mr. Rust asked what the board had in mind in the way of a site. It was the opinion
of the manager that Mr. Rust was not too optimistic, but he said that the airport
commission would reyiew the matter at their meeting of the 29th. and advise the Board
of Supervisors. He stated that they had turned down one request from the State Divis:
of Forestry for a site for a fire station.
The manager advised the board dthe District had an opportunity to purchase a portable
air compressor slightly used and in very good condition from Triangle Transfer Go. fo~
$125.00. This could be utilized in the yard for maintenance of vehicles. ,It has a 5(
foot cord and could even be used in the field. Director Greek stated he had looked ai
it and thought it was an excellent buy.
After discussion, upon motion of Director Greek, seconded by Director Coe and unanimol
carried, it was moved that the District purchase the portable air compressor for $125
I
The manager asked the board's approval to install a second mobile unit in the Falcon
which will be needed for the summer irrigation season as the unit in the Chevrolet pic
up is being used by the Inspector on the construction work. This second unit would
continue until it was found not to be economical.
After discussion the Board approved the installation of a second mobile unit and the
manager was also requested to contact the telephone company and see about telephone sc
vice for out-going calls.
Squires The engineer advised the board they were making progress and hoped for final
Dam submission of Plans and specifications very soon. He said they had Bill Wal.
earth dam specialist, take the design report to the State people. He stated
the State people had looked it over and it had come back with a few suggestions and
modifications, some of which they would expect to incorporate. One of the things the:
brought up was leakage and drilling of holes in the spillway area. The engineer statc
he didn't agree this wouldn't cut down the leakage but he thought the answer to the
problem is simply to put in a pump down at the bottom of the canyon. This could be t
cheaper than diamond drilling holes and grouting. He stated it also looked like the
District was going to have to put in a slide gate of some sort at the inlet end.
The engineer stated that if they were going to stay on schedule he would like the app:
of the Board to get in the site with a dozer and get below the surface to see what we
might run into. He said he felt this would be worth while, and also make soil tests :
the State. The cost would be on the order of $1,000.00 to $1,500.00.
The attorney was &ed what progress had been made with the Dawsons and he reported he
had nothing specific. He said on the 3rd. of this month he had written their attorne:
advising that the District was ready, willing and able to open escrow but had heard nr
ing from him.
After discussion, upon motion of Director Coe, seconded by.Director Maerkle, and unan:
ly carried, it was moved Boyle Engineering do this exploration dozer work and soil te;
at an expense not to exceed $1,500.00. U "
. The attorney said he would check to see if they could get in but he felt certain it WI
be okay.
Improvement District The manager reported the construction program was continuing. '
No. 3 Mr. Tennyson of the E. C. Collins Company was attending the mee
to see what could be done on the problem of not being able to c
some of the rights-of-way. He advised still in negotiation was
>\, . ..A
ISEf', 19- 1" and fQD- 2" .
One line 'lgll the manager advised he was still negotiating with the Estate of Genevievr
was to have outlets every 500 feet, and also to rough grade for future road. The man;
stated he had secured a firm bid for the rough grading from the E. (2. Collins Company
of $2,800.00. In addition to the $2,800.00, speaking in terms of extra outlets, one
per every 1300 feet and taking into account $660.00 given for the easement, comes out
the District would in fact be granting four extra outlets.
President Kelly stated it was his feeling the board had been a little hasty in the ma'
of these extra outlets, setting them at every 1,300 feet. Like for example, Mrs Schy'
who has 2,200 feet. All she would get would be one outlet. It was President Kelly's
suggestion that the board change their policy on these openings.
After discussion upon motion of Director Maerkle, seconded by Director Coe, and unani~
carried it was moved the board change their policy on outlets to be furnished one for
every property owner and one every 650 feet, the owner to have the right to specify w
these are to be installed subject to the approval of the District Engineer.
The President stated getting back to the Estate of Genevieve Kelly, he felt $2,800.00
for rough grading was a lot of money and he couldn't see that it was fair to the rest
the taxpayers to grant a special favor to some and not to others.
At this point Mr. Tennysons stated they had gone as far as they could go and said he I
completely down. He had his operators down here and some of them had even rented plac
down here, and the quickest way these easements could be secured was the best way for
him. He said go ahead and condemn and get him going.
The attorney advised dthe board they had already adopted a Resolution for condemnatiol
for right of ways, but it was the feeling it would be tretter to attempt to negotiate '
things out.
After discussion, upon motion of Director Maerkle, seconded by.Director Greek, and unt
imously carried, it was moved the attorney proceed with condemnation on the Estate of
Genevieve Kelly.
On line "D-l", this is also involved in the estate of Genevieye Kelly and the reamain
part is Hicks. dThe manager stated there had never been any question about this line
However, Graham Kelly had asked to reserve the granting of this easement contingent q
the "E" line. Mr. Kelly's statement was hejwould consider them all at once and he dit
not release it.
Line '9-2" involves ToQtsie K, K. Kalicha and Les and LeRoy Wright. Mr. Wright has
drafted an easement which the District Attorney says appears to be satisfactory. The
manager stated he had an appointment with Mr. Hudson on the Tootsie K. tomorrow to se
if he can get it signed.
K. Ealicha indicated he would be interested in severence damage unless it would be PO
ble to move the line south a 100 ft. It was the decision of the board the manager go
back to Kay Kalicha and wrap it up as long as Tootsie K. was okay. Give him a 100 ft
frontage on this piece we are severing from him.
Improvement The manager reported on right of ways for Improvement District #2 they
Kelly which is being handled by Mr. Graham Kelly. One of the requests of Mr. Kelly

#2 District.
On the construction schedule, the manager advised he and the District engineer had me!
with John R. Davies' construction superintendent last Friday and they are prepared to
start laying pipe next Monday. They are going to start on the small lines first. He
further stated in this respect he would like to hire the second full time inspector,
Mr. Bob Mathey, who was formerly superintendent of the San Diegito Irrigation Distric
and he had particularly worked with the pipe we are furnishing. Mr. Mathey is agreed
to a salary of $500.00 per month and transportation.
Upon motion of Director Maerkle, seconded by Director Coe, and unanimously carried, i
was moved Bob Mathey be hired as inspector for Improvement District #2, Unit '?D" Pipe

Freeway W. A. Brown, the contractor on the Freeway Relocation job has 683 feet of
Relocation salvage pipe which will be in the way of the freeway and wants to know if
District would be interested in the purchase of this pipe.
After discussion it was the opinion of the board they would not be interested in purch

Frank Ayers The manager stated they had had a committee meeting and gone over this er
and Son matter of extension of pipe line for Frank Ayers and Son property. He st
Line they had gotten a bid price from John R. Davies &Son for the extension c
