presentation, prepared by Tom Borgeson and Gloria Carranza of the
Fire District, was shown.
Bob Graham, of Target services - hired to clean the area - stated
that in spite of their efforts they were not accomplishing the
prevention of illegal encampments. He had submitted
recommendations, including on-site personnel or placing portable
toilets on the site to at least handle the fecal material.
George Hruby, owner of Ripco, discussed a proposal they had made
for providing armed security. He stated there were actually two
problems - camping on the District property and seeking to be
picked up for work in the adjacent shopping center.
Member Gaines suggested investigating the possibility of fencing
the area in a manner which would be attractive, and compatible with
any future use which might be made of the property. The majority
of the Board did not agree.
Gaines moved, Slater seconded to have staff obtain a more complete
set of proposals to decide whether to hire a security firm to abate
the problem and finding out how the security firms feel about
fencing; and that any good ideas the firms might have be included
in their proposals. Motion failed. Ayes: Gaines, Slater; Nays:
Hano, Omsted, Shea.
Staff was directed to investigate getting the Federal government
to help mitigate the problem by providing holding areas for those
immigrants who are seeking political asylum and therefore are not
legally eligible to work.
Board Member Omsted stated she would favor placing portable toilets
on the site.
Omsted moved, Hano seconded that staff work with the city and the
Transients Issues Coordinator in not only pursuing talking to the
Federal Government about a holding center, but obtaining
information from other jurisdictions that have had this problem to
see if there is a basis for a suit against the Federal government.
Motion carried. Ayes: Gaines, Hano, omsted, Shea, Slater; Nays:
None. '
Staff was further directed to find out what local groups are adding
to the problem to see if they are acting legally.
Member Gaines suggested that the District request the City to have
the Sheriff make arrests for trespassing and request that the City
purchase portable fingerprinting equipment.

NEW BUSINESS
A.
Request for Condemnation Authority to Acquire Sewer Main
Easement for Ouail Park Joint Venture.
District Engineer August gave the Staff report which recommended
approving the request by Quail Park Venture for condemnation to
acquire a sewer main easement for the eight inch sewer main from
Quail Gardens Drive to Encinitas Boulevard. Richard Rubin and Bob
Hefner explained that to meet the requirement for construction of
an eight inch sewer line in Quail Gardens Drive it would be
necessary to cross the corner of private property at the northwest
corner of Quail Gardens Drive and Encinitas Blvd. because of a
major storm drain box culvert crossing Quail Gardens Drive at the
same corner. Further, that they had been unable to negotiate a
mutually satisfactory agreement with owners of the property.
Property Owner Daniel Tsu stated he was not opposed to granting the
easement but wanted proper compensation and the hookup of their
property to the sewer line.
Gaines moved, Omsted seconded to go forward with the condemnation
process, however to make it clear that The Board was not trying to
set a price, but that the price and whatever the agreement would
be would be determined in the process, not today. Motion carried.
Ayes: Gaines, Hano, Omsted, Shea, Slater; Nays: None.
