Reports of Legal Cormel:
Sewerage Legal Cou.nse1 reported that he and the General %kager had not been
Program suecessful in arranging a meeting with City officials on ths sewer pro- gem. In. discussing the matter with the City Vanager, apparently he has
a few more reports he wants in before meeting with the District. He indicated their
Consultant would be out either Thursday or Friday and he would try to get together
with the District then.
Reports of m-gineer:
Engineer Ford rinformed the Board there is no activity to report in the engineering
field but called attentfor, to a letter which he submitted to the District suggesting
that perhaps he conld cut meeting attendance down to once a month because of the
reduced activity in the engkeering field.

President Kelly pointed out that with no construction programs in prcgress it might
be possible for tFe Board to transact the routine business with only one meeting a
month. LeFal Counsel pointed or& that, rather than change the ordinance, it might
be a better arrangement to consider meetin? rezularly for the first nieeting of t'ne
month and, unless there is sufficient business to consider and members are called,
thzt the second meeting of the month be cancelled for lack of a qvomm. After dis- cussion, no definite action was taken on this matter.
Directors Phillips and Xaerkle arrived at this tine, 2 :x) P. I?.
Upon motion by Directoy Coe, seconded 5y Director Greek, ar?_d unanimocsly carried, it was moved that Boyle EngineeriEg be required to be present at one regular meeting,
the first meeting of the month, and attend the second one, only if necessary.
Pipeline The Yanager reported that the Agreement with the State Division of
Relocation Highways for the relocation facility on Poinsettia Road ?.as been re-
Poinsettia turned to the District yroperly executed and work can now proceed on
Road the project. Ye explaired that under terms of the Agreexent all
otxt to bid and the lowest bid taken, but in view of the fact that this is a small project, the costs involved in preparing the bid forms, wage scales, etc. and the
fee for legal advertising would be excessive, it would be more practixal for the
District to do the work. A ca,ll has been placed to the State Division of Highways
Office to sde if it would be possible for the District to get a rider- on tlleir
Agreement which would authorize the performance of the work by Distrj.ct forces and they are to notify us if this is possible.
La Costa State The Yanager inforaed the 3oard that the District has been
Beach - Campground contacted by the State Office of Architecture and Construction
Developnent regarCiin.g water service for the cam?ground developent now
project, they have reauested an estimate on t3e cost of the District installing the
&-inch meter and vault, jacking approximately 100 feet of steel casing under th.e
Freeway and installation of the necessary piping and fittings and va:lves to connect
to the District's existing 10" trapsite 1iT.e in Por?to Road. It was the Manager's
recornendation that t're District set the meter in the Coumty right of way at om
line and let the State extend the pipe under the Freeway in whatever manner they desire. He explained that with this arrangement t'-e meter wovld be ih our reading
reloca.tion work not normally performed by tl.e District shall be put
I underway at the La Costa State Beach.. In connection with the
pattern and he could see no reason why the District should extend tke line under the
freeway thereby assuming a long range maintenance program which is of no benefit to
any other part of the District. After discussion, upon motion. by Director Greek,
seconded by Director Coe, a2d unanimously carried, it was moved that the Manage:er be
allowed to proceed with his recomeDdatior and negotiate with the State to put the
pipeline mder the road and tile District place the meter.

Ralph Curtiss and John Burris, reporters for the Carlsbad Journal and Blade Tribune

Survey of Copies of t3e brochre whick was compiled by Director :?hillig on the
Agricultvral survey of the agricvltural lands within %he District were passed to
Lands Board mernbers arid mernbers cf the press. 9irector PhXlips was eoz-endel
mote the District. If copies are available, the brochure which has been prepared by t'
local Chamber of Commerce will be imluded with t,he Xstrict 1s mailing and distributio
of these booklets.
Final Budget The Ffanayer presented copies of a final draft of the budget for the
Fiscal Year for the estimated revemes. Re explained that since the last budget
valuation figures, whicb were considerable less than estimated, and this will result
in about a 3'7,000.00 loss in tax revenues. This difference, plus adjusting the
$6,884.00 figure fron; the proposed budget, has resulted in about :~12,000.00 less
income than anticipated at the last neetins. In order to make up the deficit on
actual tax income the Capital 3xpencTitt;lres Budget has been cut from %21,@0.00 to
8,431.00 which will include the following items: The installation of radio eauipnent
for District vehicles and base station -- ?3,157.00; an allocation of 82,000 for
miscellaneous tools and materials for the Shop Building, barricades a:Td lights,
welding equipment, ete. ; a total of RlMO .OO for office machines, wkich incl.u.des a
typewriter acd adder-calculator; and the balance of $2,074.00 which w:ill be available
for the preparation of the site for the trailer at Squires Cam and the utilities,
and wonld anticipate financing tlle trailer over a three-year period. He emphasized
that this is E bare bv-dget with no allowance for contingencies.
Director Greek urged that every effort be rade to cut the bu.dget so t3at no increase
in water rates would be necessary, as he bad been Tetting a lot of prssswe on the
matter. It was pointed out that it is important to recognize t3e District's policy
of raising and lowering water al?ci t ax rates as tk District's expenses f1uctu.at.e .
Vith regard to the $2.00 pr acre foot increase for wholesale water to the City, it
was felt that this increase could be justified on the basis of the fazt that the City
is receivhg the major benefit from the Squires Dam opera.ti.on and the District is not
only providing the storage facilities for t5e City but regulatory service as well,
which almost cuts out reulating water for the City Vater Department.
After further discussion, upon motion by Director Maerkle, seconded b:y Director
Phi.1: ips, it was moved tl?at the Budget for the 1964-65 fiscal year be adopted as
outlined here. The motion was passed by the followizg vote: Four ayes: Kelly,
