District Engineer August told the Board that daily clean-up
services are continuing approximately four hours per day. He said
Staff is periodically surveying the Big Bear shopping area to take
counts of the migrant workers and to date there does not seem to
be a reduction of migrants looking for work during the day. It
does appear the migrants are not camping there overnight. He said
Target Services has provided daily clean-up services for the last
thirty days and to date the migrants have left the property when
asked to leave by the clean-up crew.

Mr. August told the Board that Staff recommended the Board's
authorizing daily clean-up services by Target Services be continued
for another thirty days; and providing any modifications to the RFP
for security services, and authorizing Staff to solicit proposals
for Board consideration at their March 27, 1990 meeting.
Mr. August told the Board he received the executed permit from Fish
and Wildlife, but the Coastal Commission was requesting more
documentation before de-vegetating can begin.
Board Member Gaines questioned the proposed RFP from Captain
Apostolos. She said she would like to see the requests specify
patrols for 24 hours per day not 16.
Mr. August said he had discussed this with Captain Apostolos and
his feeling was that a foot patrol or motor patrol would be
ineffective in the early morning hours.
Board Member Gaines said she would like to see enforcement in the
area 24 hours a day. She also asked that the Sheriff's Department
submit an additional proposal as to what the Sheriff's Department
feels is most effective.
Board Member Omsted stated she did not know whether the ESD
property was being damaged in any way shape or form, and questioned
the advisability of spending public money to protect neighboring
properties.
Board Member Slater said the shopping center is being impacted in
excess of $3-4 Million Dollars, and that the establishments in the
shopping center will go out of business if circumstances do not
change.
Board Member Omsted said she did not see how guarding the property
would protect the shopping center.
Board Member Slater said she understood the shopping center owners
and tenants would be doing a coordinated effort towards protection
of their property.
Board Member Gaines said the City had asked all private property
owners to keep their property clean and it is the Board's
obligation to do so. She said there had been some very serious
crimes committed on the property including two murders in the last
6 months.
Board Member Hano said once the property is cleaned, it would be
time to redirect the monies to try to get to the cause of the
problem.

NEW BUSINESS
A.
Review of Fiscal Year 1989-90 Mid Year Financial Plan and
Adoption of Resolution No. 90-02, Amendinq 1989-90 Financial
Plan.
District Engineer August told the Board that the fund balance on
the 6/30/89 Financial Plan Summary reflected the preliminary audit
figures which were subject to change. Based on the preliminary
audit, an adjustment of $2,098,168 increase was made to the total
fund balance. This change occurred because $1.436 million for the
Phase IV Expansion project at Encina had been anticipated to be
expended in the FY 1988-89. However, the funds were not utilized.
These funds will remain restricted toward the District commitment
to the Phase IV expansion proj ect. Additionally, this fund balance
change reflects a one time revenue adjustment for FY 1988-89, as
well as lower than expected costs for the Phase IV Expansion
Project.
The Staff recommendation is that the Board receive and accept the
Encinitas Sanitary District 1989-90 mid-year financial report and
approve Resolution No. 90-02 amending the FY Financial Plan.
Board Member Gaines suggested that if the fees are increased
because of the new metering, an explanation should be given to the
customers saying they have been receiving a benefit because the
metering was not working correctly and they have actually been
paying a lower fee than they should have been paying.
Omsted moved, Hano seconded to adopt Resolution 90-02 Amending the
FY 1989-90 Financial Plan. Motion Carried. Ayes: Gaines, Hano,
Omsted, Shea, Slater; Nays: None.
