Art Korn introduced Ken Witt, Director from our area on MWDOC Board.
Mr. Witt made a very interesting report on activities and interest of concern
to this District. Contract # 6 of the Alan McCulloch Pipeline is still not
complete - telemetry which is located in City of Orange still not working, so
much time is spent on manual operation. Some erosion problems resulting from
the recent Anaheim fire. Water rationing and conservation are being looked at
very seriously. MWDOC contacting about 8000 students every month in Orange
County regarding water, its source ect. Still considering new office facilities.
The new grand jury is going forward with the report from the Price Waterhouse
survey on the consolidation of Districts. Regarding the small hydro plants Mr.
Witt said he would assist the Board in every way he could with a contact to the
proper authorities of Edison who were specialists in that field.
Mr. Witt thanked the Board and said he was available any time to answer question-s
but the second meeting of the month was most convenient. He left the meeting at
9:20 a.m.
Moved by Director Lindow seconded by Director Armstrong to approve the consent
calendar as follows: the minutes of regular meeting October 14 and the authoriza-
tion for Directors to leave the State of California prior to next meeting, motion
carried unanimously.
Bill Robertson reported on the LAFCO hearing on October 27 regarding the annexation
of the SAVI property to the City of Yorba Linda.
The Yorba Linda City Council met at a special meeting October 27th to adopt res-
olutions regarding Annexations 82-01 (SAVI), Annexation 82-02 (Featherly Park)
and Annexation 82-03 (SABA).
Art Kidman said that the LAFCO staff report had some misstatements regarding
YLCWD and AB 8 and he felt that a letter should be written to Dick Turner
setting LAFCO straight on several matters that were incorrectly stated.
Mr. Kidman said that they were still negotiating on the Bryant Ranch Agreement.
It had not been returned from Toronto and he felt it was just inertia on the
part of C-W Associates, however he had a very frank but friendly conversation
that if it is not signed and returned immediately the Bond sale will not be
possible, time is so very short.
The hydro electric memorandum on the feasibility study had been reviewed by
the Board. Moved by Director Lindow seconded by Director Armstrong to receive
and file the report and authorize staff to monitor the technoligical advances
in the hydro electric field and continue to study potential hydro sites within
the District. Motion carried unanimously.
