Sewerage Director Coe reported on the meeting held with City and Couney officials
Connnittee on October 10, 1961. He outlined the following plans which were submittc
1
by the Engineers representing thesparate agencies:
He outlined briefly the following solutions:
(1) Carlsbad Municipal Water District constructing own facilities,
a total cost of $1,240.000.
I
(2) Carlsbad Municipal Rater District and Buena Sanitary District
construccing joint facilities, a total cost of $1,844,000,
with a cost of $903,000 to the District.
(3) Carlsbad Municipal Water District, Buena Sanitary District and
the Carlsbad-Vista Joint Venture Group, constructing facilities,
a total cost of $736,000 to the District,
(3a) The same plan -covered by solution (3) with the exception that
~ the area covered by this line would annex to the City of
Carlsbad, a total cost to the District of $273,000.
It was also pointed out that a connection fee of $100.00 to $150.00 has been discuss
for property owners joining the system and not presently served by sewer facilities.
If annexation to the City of Carlsbad by the property owner was deferred until a
later date, an additional fee would be required based on the same amount as would
have been paid in taxes for the period , approximately $12.00 to $15.00 per year.
Discussion followed on these proposals and it was the feeling of the Board that the
solution shown as 3a would be the most economical for the areas lying within the
Agua Hedionda Drainage Basin. It was decided that a special meeting would be
arranged for the Board to meet with interested property owners of this area in
order to get an expression of the people who would be affected by these proposals.
At that time the Engineer would present the three pmpsals and see if they would
be interested in annexing to the City of Carlsbad on terms and conditions as out-
lined. The meeting was tentatively scheduled for 3:30 P.M. on Tuesday, November 7,
at the City Hall Annex and the Board will adjourn from the regular meeting to the
Annex at that time. Letters of-invitation will be forwarded by the Manager to all
property owners within the general area of the Agua Hedionda Drainage Basin requesti
their participation at this meeting.
