Art Kidman said he had a meeting with representatives of the landowner of ID #2
set for next week but that he would like to review the sequence of events leading
to the reason for I.D. # 2 Series "B" bonds Issue being proposed. The Developer
and the District knew that with the development of the Bryant Ranch more facilities
were needed, the landowner knew that the District had reserves left from previous
bond sales and could not understand the District's reluctance in spending those
reserves. C.-W Associates hired Carl Kylma and Alex Bowie to advise them on how
they should proceed. Alexander Bowie was instrumental in pointing out the tilting
effect that might occur and suggested legislation that called for a standby charge
to alleviate the tilting effect. Mr. Kidman proceeded to give a detailed account of
events leading to C-W Associates deciding to hold off and the District to take the
Bond Issue off calendar for the time being.
Bill Wright spoke for the Developer and said they were still planning to go forward
without any delay in their plans for building and they felt any delay at this time
would be very costly.
