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.

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.

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.
