Mills reported that he P2d been requested by the Manager of the Encinitas
Sanitary District to consult with the board regarding this district's possible
collection of sewer charges for the Sanitary District. Mills reported that
-13-
~
this was anticipated when the billing system was converted to t~e computer and
that it would be merely a reprogramming problem to install the collection
procedures. The cost to the district would be nominal and very difficult to
estimate in that it would simply add a very short amount of time for the physical
printing of the additional line on the bill for each billing cycle. Mills
reported that he was in favor of doing this if the details could be worked
out and if Olivenhain would perform the same type service for the Encinitas
Sanitary District. After a lengthy discussion, Director Lawson moved that the
service be authorized but that a charge be levied for this work. Director
Noonan seconded this motion and it was unanimously carried.
President Cermak appointed Director Lawson and Director Dean to a committee
to work out the details and report back to the board with a final proposal on this
project .
Mills referred to a letter which he had written to the board concerning the
procedures used in providing water service for construction operations. This
procedure was discussed at some length, delving especially into the problems
created for the local contractor who is constantly dealing with the district on
this type operation. Mills reported that if a local contractor would post a
deposit in accordance with district procedures and leave this deposit with the
district that ttere would be little inconvenience to him in moving and relocating
these construction meters.
Director Pearson moved that the procedure be reaffirmed without change.
Director Noonan seconded the motion, and it was unanimously carried.

Mills reported that the required retention time on the vehicles purchased
from the State Surplus Property Agency had expired and requested authorization
to transfer the chassis of one of the jeeps purchased in payment for the
repair bills on the other vehicles as previously reported to the board. The
District purchased the truck and two jeeps some 15 months ago with the idea
that one of the jeeps would be used for parts. The district staff was able to
negotiate with a mechanic to do the repairs on the large truck, and one jeep
including transfer of the engine from one jeep to the other and some repairs on
the trencher. The total bill for this service was $407.68. Mills requested
authorization to transfer the chassis of the jeep from which the engine was
-14-
removed to this mechanic in full payment of this bill. Director Pearson moved
that the Manager be authorized to make such transfer. Motion was seconded by
Director Noonan, and unanimously carried.
