January 8, 1981 (continued)
Director Lindow suggested that the Irvine Ranch District proposal of a two year
deferment on their decision on the 58 cfs be discussed in greater depth. After
a very lengthy discussion the Board felt that they would not say no to the ex-
tension but that we are willing to negotiate. A letter from Attorney Kidman and
the City of Orange may have parcipated the letter from IRWD and the visit from
Mr. Bruington so they already know this District's feeling. One suggestion made
by Mr. Shook to go ahead and take our additional capacity of 1.9 cfs at cost of
design and then find a purchaser for this extra capacity if IRWD does not pick it
up was a very attractive alternative. Unanimous feeling of the Board was for Mr.
Shook and Mr. Kidman draft a letter to IRWD's general manager and review it at
the January 22nd board meeting and take no other action at this time.
Discussion regarding the board meeting and committee meeting compensation.
Moved by Director Lindow seconded by Director Korn to pay $50.00 for each meeting
attended by the Directors or each day's attendance. Motion carried four yes and
one no.
Meeting set for finance committee for Tuesday January 20 at 2:00 p.m. and for

Moved by Director Lindow seconded by Director Clodt to adjourn at 11:35 a.m.,
motion carried.
