Z .Z Z Committee to be appointed to investigate the commencement and cost of the construction of t e proposed terminal re- c -yo r " -- City Engineer instructed to draw plans and specifica- tions and to call for bids for Water lines in the back bay to serve Harbor Hi- ghlanddg> UNFINISHED BUSINESS Councilman Stoddard gave a report regarding the construction of the proposed terminal resevoir. He indicated that Laguna Beach and Costa Mesa had been noncommittal in their attitude toward the proposal. He stated that it would be necessary for the City of Newport Beach to "go it alone if necessary" since we could not allow our water supply to become as dangerously low as it was last year. He suggested that the Mayor appoint a committee composed of the City Manager, the City Attorney, the City Engineer, two or three Councilmen, and representatives of The Irvine Company to determine how soon construction might begin. He estimated the installation would cost approximately one half million dollars and sug- gested a super tax or a one dollar override tax on a two year basis as the possible means of starting the financing of this project. On motion of Council- man Stoddard, seconded by Councilman Bennett and car- ried, the Mayor was authorized to appoint a committee suggested by Councilman Stoddard.
