2. ORAL COMMUNICATIONS
Board Member Gaines reported that at her request staff had computed
figures on the number of potential EDUs in the district. Figures
in the agenda packet of March 4, 1987 had projected 5712 EDUs to be
annexed and served. The Staff's computation and checking of
maps as to land use area and district area as opposed to the total
area of the San Elijo Plant had discovered that the figure which
had been used as the acreage figure for CSD also included all of
Solana Beach, a good part of Rancho Santa Fe and a portion of
8 Leucadia county Water District. The projected number of EDUs in
the actual area is closer to the figure remaining in capacity.
Although Staff had not had time nor expertise to do the study in
the needed detail, they felt a consultant was needed to actually
compute the figure. - She said if the figure is in fact close to
remaining capacity, it would make a big difference in the amount of
expansion and in the fee.
Gaines moved, omsted seconded, to add to the aqenda whether or not
to hi rea consultant to do the exact calculations needed to
determine what the need for capacity is within the district. The
information was generated and received since the postinq of the
aqenda. Member Gaines stated that one of the agenda items for
today I s meeting was consideration of adopting a fee based upon
expansion, based upon calculations which appeared to be incorrect.
Motion carried. Ayes: Gaines, Luke, omsted, Shea, steel: Nays:
None. This matter was added to the agenda as Item 6.C.
steel moved, Luke seconded to amend the agenda to add Item 6.D.
entitled, "Claim Aqainst Solana Beach sanitation District Reqardinq
the San Blijo service Area and the Meterinq Problem", based upon
pursuit of a claim as directed by the Board and the fact that the
meetinq occurred this day, after the aqenda was posted, which bad
produced the need to commence litiqation to resolve the claim.
Motion carried. Ayes: Gaines, Luke, Omsted, Shea, steel: Nays:
8 None.

In answer to a question from Member Gaines, Board Manager Shafer
stated that the Joint Powers Authority would be a separate legal
entity with authority and power separate from the' two sanitation
district boards. They would have the ability to make decisions
within the framework of the joint powers document and generally
would not take questions back to their boards before voting. They
could not make decisions such as the size of a plant, annual sewer
charges, etc. They have responsibility to manage the assets of the
Joint Powers Authority. They would not have authority to make
decisions as to expansion, but could make recommendations to the
boards. Member Gaines asked questions about specific sections of
the agreement and those which were not answered at this time, Staff
was directed to research and provide the answers.
Gaines moved, .,omsted seconded to approve the agreement in concept
with the provisions that the questions she asked be answered
