and the next regular meeting of the Board, an application for single sewer service

$3726.47 and the Wittenberg parcel reimbursement recommendation of payment at 4/23
meeting. Motion carried unanimously.
The memo on Artukovich letter and De Los Reyes Reservoir walk through were in-
formation items only. Mr. Shook explained the Lusk Agreement Modification memo.
Marion Stevens came into the meeting and President Knauft presented Mrs. Stevens
with a one year pin. Marion is secretary for the engineering department.
Pete Royere said he had two appraiser's bids on the building on Olinda Street.
Cedric White $1000 to $1500 and Ray Metzger $700 to $750.00. Discussion. Mr.
Royere instructed to go ahead with the appraisal with the proposal from Ray
Metzger.
Betty Emblidge's investment report was reviewed, and it was noted by President
Knauft the District has topped the $30,000,000 mark. Betty had reinvested 2 2
million in repurchase agreements for 15 and 154 percent.
Art Kidman said that on Tuesday he received word that the Board of Supervisors
had directed the County Auditor to disperse the tax money that had been impounded
from the east side and to disperse it immediately. Art and his office had been
working on the material for the lawsuit and so with this advance preparation he
was able to file the Writ of Mandamus on Wednesday April 8, 1981 which hopefully
will prevent the disbursement of the funds. Vic Heim as County Auditor was named
in the Writ. They have 30 days to respond and there is a possibility that other
special districts will also file.
Mr. Kidman said with the Board's permission he would give other interested districts
copies of our Writ. Suggested that these others might contribute to ISDOC to show
their appreciation.
Ralph told the Board that planswere being made for the annual Christmas party and
and very few places had been found with satisfactory time. Everything is booked
up. President Knauft suggested the Camelot at 1100 So. Grand in Santa Ana. Staff
to check further.
