Minutes of the "Special Session" of the City Council of San Juan Capistrano
March 1, 1963
The Special Session to discuss phases of administration and legislation for
the sanitary sewer problems of the City was called to order b�, Mayor Carl E. Buch-
heim at 1:05 P.M.
Councilmen in attendance were: William A. Bathgate, Don Durnford, Antonio M.
(Tony) Olivares, and Carl E. Buchheim. Councilman Eric F. Cliff was absent.
Mr. John H. Dawson, City Attorney, gave a resume and briefing of the facts
of the matter of the San Juan Capistrano Municipal Sewer District No. 1 to date.
He further related some recommendations that Mr. Francis R. Stradling of the
firm of O'Melveny and Myers had projected:
(a) form the same area for a district, all over again (at no cost to the
city)
(b) hold another bond election
Yet, it came up for serious consideration that maybe the entire city, within
its corporate limits, be made the 'new municipal sewer district'.
Councilman Olivares queried the taxing for maintenance.
T. J. Meadows, Director of Public Works, stated his recommendation is that
the entire area of the City be included in the formation and establishment of the
'new' district.
John Dawson, related that general obligation bonds could also be promoted
for financing the expansion and construction of future sewer facilities.
Thereupon, the Council was faced with the decision of re-establishment of
the sewer district based upon the original boundaries versus inclusion of the
entire city limits.
Discussion continued with consideration for an acceptable schedule of fees
for annexations, connections and permits.
A committee was formed to pursue this study and make recommendations. The
committee consists of: Councilman Olivares, T. J. Meadows, Joe Feeney, and John
Dawson.
Further, action was taken to adopt certain standards and specifications for
3-/- 63
