Notice of Adjournment: Legal Counsel Swirsky presented to the
Executive Secretary for inclusion in the official Minutes Register, a Notice of Adjournment of the regular meeting of tl
Board of Directors of Costa Real Municipal Water District from March 3 , 1981 , to March 11, 1981 , at 2:00 P.M. , along with a Declaration of Posting signed by
Florence M. Woodward. He stated that this is a regularly constituted meeting
and anything can be brought before the meeting.
Termination of Service Area General Manager Meadows advised that the
Boundary Agreement - Carlsbad City Council voted unanimously at their City Council Meeting, March 10 meeting on March 10, 1981 , to invoke the
one-year termination clause in the Servi
Area Boundary Agreement which the City has with Costa Real Municipal Water District. The reason given was that the City feels the District is standing in the way of the City's efforts to get into the water reclamation field. Leg Counsel Swirsky advised that this agreement is the one that established the
retail service areas in 1972 (before we had reclaimed water). Before the ex- istence of this agreement, CRMWD would write a letter and appear at any LAFCO hearings for annexations to the City of Carlsbad, to make sure there were no
duplications of water facilities. Revocation of this agreement will put us
back to where we were before. Legal Counsel could not see how terminating thi
agreement could help the City in the area of reclaimed water. Rather they should request that a separate agreement in reference to reclaimed water be
worked out. He advised that we should wait for the written noti-ce of termi- t2ation and proceed accordingly.
District Engineer Kubota referred to another item in the City Manager's report in which the City Manager claims that the District did not coordinate plans with the City of Carlsbad and installed a reclaimed water line at Highway 78 and El Camino Real for $80,000. The Engineer advised that the City did approv
the construction referred to and in fact, $50,000 of that total was for a fres water line put in for the City's use when an existing 18'' line deteriorates. The nonpotable line is owned jointly by Oceanside and the District but was put in for the City's customers in that area near the May Company. Another expen- diture questioned by the City Manager was the $6,000 for four connections on
the San Marcos County Water District's effluent line, which the District con-
sidered to be a prudent investment in the nonpotable water area.
General Manager Meadows added that the District, as a member of the Associatic
of Water Reclamation Agencies (Director Bonas is chairperson) , is trying to achieve regional coordination and bring the various programs into conformity
so we will have an efficient regional system. No attempt has ever been made to preclude the City or anyone else from any plans to benefit the water users
Discussion followed but no action was taken.
