The location of the subdivision along with the sewer line required for service was plotted on the title company map on the display panel in the Board Room. As stated at the meeting of February 15,1962, Mr. Horstkotte repeated that it would be most economical and practical for the District to install approximately 1,350 feet of 18" line and have the subdivider contribute the cost of the same length of 8" line so that the ultimate size line would be installed to serve the upstream area. The only alternate would be for the contractor to install the 8" line to serve his subdivision which would mean paralleling of lines at a later date which would be more costly and result in added District problems. After discussion, it was moved by Member Gibbs, seconded by Member Salfingere, that the District proceed to install the 18" line in Freitas Road approximately 1,350 feet in length, subject to the subdivider of the discussed subdivision contributing to the cost of the 18" line the estimated cost of an 8" line of the same length.
