Management Analyst Schillinger presented the staff report and said
the proposed FY 1991-92 budget was based on maintaining connection
fees at $1,500 and increasing sewer fees from $120 to $140 as
presented last year.
He said the fund balance for the Debt Service Fund was being drawn
down to provide for a reserve which was just large enough to cover
the highest year's debt service payment. There was also a transfer
of $195,000 from the General Fund Reserve to the Replacement Fund
Reserve. The money was held on reserve by Encina for the purposes
of carrying out replacement projects. He said the change does not
affect the overall financial position of the District.
Mr. Schillinger said the District anticipated a decrease in revenue
collected by the San Dieguito Water District on behalf of ESD.
Because commercial customers' sewer fees were based on the amount
of water which they consumed rather than the flat EDU use fee
charged to residential customers. The Water District had a mandate
to reduce the amount of water consumed by 50%, therefore, the
Sanitary District was expecting a decrease in the amount of money
received from commercial sewer fees.

He said the increase in operations and maintenance costs were due
to operating costs associated with the completion of Phase IV at
the Encina Plant, and the assumption that the City would add an
additional position to the Wastewater Collection operation.
Mr. Schillinger said the FY 1991-92 proposed Financial Plan
provided adequate resources to meet the needs of the District and
the projected ending balance at 6/30/92 indicated the District to
be fiscally heal thy. .
Board Member Omsted said the commercial customers' sewer fees and
residential users' sewer fees were different and she felt the Board
needed to address the issue of all customers paying their fair
share.
B. Smith asked about the $60,000 security and $12,000 for cleanup
still being a part of the expenses. Regarding the District
property, he said he would like to see the building rented and a
caretaker on site. He asked about the vegetation plan, Reclamation
from Phase IV Encina, and the Fixed Cost to Operate.
Management Analyst Schillinger and Board Member Omsted answered Mr.
Smith's questions as follows:
.
The District spends approximately $5,000 a year for cleanup
and the remaining $7,000 was for contract cleaning of one
trunk line which needed to be cleaned on a yearly basis.

Regarding the Vegetation Management Plan, Mr. Schillinger said
the Coastal Commission gave its permission in concept
predicated upon staff providing an actual plan of mitigation
of removed vegetation material.
Regarding the reclamation question, Board Member Omsted said
Encina at present is doing a study of the feasibility of using
reclaimed water. Because of the drought, there is a
possibility of taking secondary treated effluent,
dechlorinating it and using it for construction purposes. The
results of the studies are expected to be brought back to the
Encina Board in approximately one month
There was Council consensus for staff to bring back information
regarding a more equitable spread of commercial customer fees and
residential customer fees.
