Mr. Kidman reported on the progress of the legislation for I.D.#2. There is a ~ I-A
deadline of February 5, so he had conferred with John Lewis and they propose to
eliminate the sunset clause or at least extend it to 1/1/90 giving 7 years before
a change would be made. C-W Associates had deposited with the District the amount
as estimated by the attorney for this work on the legislation.
Mr. Kidman also reported that the D.S.D. had determined there was a refund of
$8974.00 due the District however the State may not have any money. He did learn
there was a small fund in the Controllers offices used for such refunds, so there
is a possibility it could be paid from that fund. This will then be refunded to
C-W Associates.
Mr. Kidman had a letter from Ron Rodgers aide to Supervisor Nestande stating
that he would no longer have anything to do with the tax negotiations for this
District. He did say however, that the informtion furnished by Mr. Kidman and
the District was not what they wanted, they did not believe it should be based
on historial basis but on the cost of service so would need more information.
Board indicated that they would like to have the attorney proceed along this line,
that it was in accord with their thinking.
Art Kidman said he felt it would be appropriate for someone to start a bill
through the Legislature at this time and to make it State wide formula to be
similar to the bill that died in Committee last year.

Moved by Director Cromwell seconded by Director Armstrong to adjourn at 9:45
