Distri ct Engineer:
KOA CaKpground Engineer Kubota introduced Mr. Pat Kelly, representative Project of the property owner developer, Mr. Carroll Kelly, to the Board,
service requirements for the park itself following 1 itigation with the original developer of this project. Engineer Kubota pinpointed for the Board the location of this project with a map showing pipelines to serve this area which will run along Palomar Airport Road for approximately 1250 feet from the intersection of a new road to be known as Marcario Road. There wi 11 be a 16" pipel ine a1 ong Palomar Road anci a 12" line on the new road which will tie in with the Klug Subdivision. The developer will assume the cost of instal 1 ing an 8" 1 ine. Engineer Kubota es- tirnateci the total development value of these pipel ine installations would be approximately $36,000, and that the developer would assume his share of the cost. Engineer Kubota recommended that tne Board accept the proposal of the developer,
and that we enter into a standard subdivision agreement and the pledge is for the construction of the public water system to that extent, and incl tides the portion actually to be built for which plans are in the dra5 form as of now; and asks the Board for their approval of this plan and the amount stipulated above and to authorize the President to execute an agreement which we wi 11 prepare subject to the approval of Legal Counsel Swirsky. After discussion, upon notion of
Director Carrnichael , seconded by Director Kelly, and unaniKously carried, approval
was granted to proceed with this proposal as outlined by Engineer Kubota.
Fi 1 tereti Water Manager Priday anti Engineer Kubota attended a meeting of the Program County Water Authority relative to distribution of filtered
water and it would appear that we will be receiving filtered water sometime in 1377. Manager Priday stated the District is fortunate in the
fact that we do not necessarily have a filtering system, and that those Districts who have filtering systems or are in tne process of building one are the ones who wi 11 be required to spend considerable sums of money to get ready to receive the filtered water from the Authority. l%D is now paying $35 an acre foot for pumping the water frorr, the Colorado River and the pumping cost to bring water from the Feather River will be $10 an acr2 foot, 2nd if the water is not available by 1975, it wi 1 1 cost them an addi ti onal ten mi 11 ion dol 1 ars.
Manager Priciay advised the Board of a discussion with Dr. Frank Agardy from the URS Research Company who will be preparing! the EIR report for the Authority and a1 1 the other facilities which will include our Tri-Agencies Pipeline and therefore the District will participate at a much lesser cost than if we were required to
do tnis report individually, and we will receive the cost to us for this report from Linden Burzell of the Authority.
Engineer Kubota reported that they a1 so provided a very detailed financial
analysis of their concept of commodity charge and capacity charge for the actual cost to US for this new filtered water, and feel it will have a tremendous impact on districts 1 ike ours because of our many agricultural users 5 and there was a discussion relative to the use of drip irrigation as an alternative.
Idimager Priday reported they have projected these costs, and he will put this analysis in better form as far as our District is concerned and have a report
1 ater on in more detail.
The developer has taken over the responsibility of the water
