San Diego Region Water Recl amation Agency Director Bonas advised that the meeting originally scheduled for this Friday has been cancel led due to lack of business.
General Manager:
Award Contract - Squires Road Manager Meadows referred to the bid Resurfacing opening done at the last Board meeting. Low bidder was Capitol Paving, Inc. ($13,136) and second lowest was J & S Sealing and Striping Co. ($14,360). The Engineer's estimate for the job was $14,800. Since the bid opening the Engineer has reviewed the bids and contacted the apparent low bidder with
respect to posting of a performance bond and other relevant matters. T,he Engineer and the Manager recomend that the Board award the contract to the low.bidder, Capitol Paving, Inc. After assurance that they will post a bond when they sign the contract, Director Maerkle made a motion to award the
contract to Capitol Paving , Inc. in the amount of $13,136, seconded by Director Kelly and unanimously 'carried.
Director Bonas asked Legal Counsel if any of the property owners who use the Squires Dam road have been asked to contribute to the cost of the repaving.
Discussion followed when he answered no. She then made a motion that we reques participation in the cost of the paving, seconded by Director Kelly. After
further discussion Director Kelly suggested a letter be written to all users requesting a contribution. Legal Counsel Swirsky recommended that an investi- gation be made first before a decision is made as to whether to request finan- cial participation in the paving. President MacLeod agreed that Legal Counsel
and District Engineer investigate and come back with a report. Legal Counsel suggested it be put on the agenda for one month from now (meeting of August 19) Director Bonas withdrew her motion.
I
Recess : President MacLeod called for a recess at
3:05 P.M. The meeting reconvened at
3:27 P.M.
I Lake Cal avera Hi1 'Is Effl uent District Engineer Kubota advised that he

share easement rights with anyone else. What has happened in the past is that a separate easement must be obtained from the property owner and then a letter
of permission must be obtained from us as the first ones in the easement. Dis- cussion followed as to types of easement and the fact that the easement requesl
by Lake Calavera is for an effluent failsafe line. The District Engineer also brought out the point that the District may some day want to construct a non- potable water line in our easement area and we have the right to do that. He suggested that this may be one way this could be done in conjunction with the proposed Lake.Calavera line, but the portion of the line in our easement would remain a District facility and available for District use. Legal Counsel re- affirmed that the District had no right to assign any rights to our easements.
Roy Ward, the developer, then addressed the Board, explaining that his contrac
with the City of Carlsbad is essentially completed except for a 14,000 foot connection to the Encina outfall, from the end of Tamarack Avenue, down El Camino Real, up Slippery Hill Lane, through the Koll property, the Huntington Beach property and the S.igna1 Landmark property to Palomar Airport Road where they will connect with a line going to Encina that they jointly own with 14 others. This is the route designated by the City of Carlsbad. He added that he has presented to the City Manager the alternative of building the portion of the line designated for the District easement, for the District as suggeste by District Engineer Kubota. He has not yet had a response to that proposal. Discussion followed as to the most economical route being through the Kelly property but that is not the route chosen by the City. Director Bonas suggest that our Engineer, the City Engineer and Roy Ward get together and work up a general plan for water 1 ines for reclaimed water. Discussion followed but no action was taken.
Legal Counsel Swirsky summarized the situation as follows: (1) Costa Real Mu- nicipal Water District is not in a position to grant use of the existing easem to the City of Carlsbad or to Mr. Ward under the terms and conditions that CMW
acquired the easement; (2) that if the underlying owner grants an easement within the same 20 feet that CMWD has an easement, then CMWD cannot consent to the utilization of the easement for a sewer line for the City at the present time, based upon the information available; (3) if a parallel easement is

points summarized by our Legal Counsel, .be written, seconded by Director Kelly and unanimously carried.
Operations: General Manager Meadows referred to the
added that the yearly inspection of Squires Dam was done yesterday by the State Division of Safety of Dams, with everything seeming to go well. There was sone discussion about the piezometer system and he is waiting for a report on that.
Superintendent of Operations Musser gave the lake level at 502.9 feet. We are buying 23 c.f.s. with 19 c.f.s. from Station No. 1, 3 c.f.s. from Station No; 3 and 1 c.f.s. from Station No. 4. Other operations are routine. The new skip loader has now been delivered
Finance and Administration: Manager Meadows advised that he is still
with the Finance Committee for discussion. He then coordinated the travel
arrangements for the Water Agencies Association dinner on July 16.
The Manager then read aloud a letter dated July 13, 1981 , from the City of
Carlsbad to our Board of Directors, inviting them to attend a special meeting at City Hall on July 24 at 2:OO P.M. After discussion the Manager was advised to write a letter accepting the invitation.

asked for Board approval for staff to make inquiry of all land owners to par- ticipate in the cost with a fee of $5.00 per acre. The total cost is estimatec at $15,000. Discussion followed (with Director Kelly advising that we should also be on the lookout for a possible reservoir site for nonpotable water). Director Bonas made a motion to poll the property owners, seconded by Director Kelly and unanimously carried.
LaCosta Avenue North to District Engineer Kubota advised that the Sewer P1 ant owner has requested $7,000 for the easenx right-of-way where the District wants to put in the line and fittings to the sewer plant. After negotiation the fee waz
changed to $3500 ($1500 cash and an estimated $2000 for us to put three tees ir the line). He felt this was a fair settlement and recommended acceptance. Aft discussion on the dimensions of the easement, Director Kelly made a motion ap- proving the negotiated fee, seconded by Director Maerkle and unanimously carric
Ratification of Checks: Upon motion of Director Maerkle, secondec by Director Bonas and unanimously carriec the Board ratified the issuance of checks No. 6811 through 6864 for the period from July 6, 1981, to July 15, 1981, in the sun1 of $113,573.76.
