Engineer 1s Report :
El Camino Real Mr. Bill Curtis was present, representing Boyle Engineering, in
Realignment the absence of the regJlar District Engineer, Maurey Ford. He
reported to the Board that they have been in touch with the San Diego County Road Department concerning this project and were advised that a commnication had been directed to the City of Carlsbad last week notifying them
that the project will be delayed about three months or so because of a delay in acquiring right of way. A copy of this letter was read in full and discussed by the Boasd. The Xngineer pointed out that where there is a delay in construction there is a tendency to revise plans and he recommended that the Board delay the approval of the plans and specifications for the project until the next meeting,
at which time there should be something definite on the time schedule for the
City and County portion of the project, If there is any delay in the project, it
was his recommendation that the District delay its relocation work until we fit
into the schedule. :le also stressed the imFortance of working out some arrangement
with the contractor on the road project whereby he will be responsible for the
pipe during the grading operation since they will be working with very little
cover on the pipeline in s0m.e areas. After discwsion, it was decided to withhold
any fmther action on the project until there is some definite word from the County and Ctty on the matter.
