Regional Quality Control Board - report was submitted on time (was due 4.23.07) Asking that the declaration of local emergency be continued (allows us to enter into contracts more quickly).
Asking for additional $250,000 be appropriated. Would provide $150,000 contingency in case continued monitoring required.
Nygaard - sharing cost with Vista - City of Vista understands their is an agreement per Pruim. City of Vista will pay 90% - will total costs at end and Vista will pick up 90%.
Hall - is there anyway to run a camera up the line. A force main operates under pressure per Pruim.
Would need to drain line, clean the line and run camera - even if camera run through, would not have detected the event.

Nygaard - does the outer lining have any warranty.
