September 23, 1970
The adjourned meeting of the Board of Directors of the Yorba
Linda County Water District was called to order by President
McGuire at 8:30 a.m. in the offices of the District.
Directors present and answering the roll: McGuire, Wagner,
Clodt, Hastings and Knauft. H. Rodger Howell attorney for the
District and Jim Brock, reporter with the Santa Ana Register
were also present.
Ralph Shook General Manager announced the California Special
District Association Conference on October 30 and 31 at the
Ramada Inn in Fresno. Moved by Director Knauft seconded by
Director Clodt carried unanimously that the District delegates
be authorized to attend the Conference at District expense.
Building Committee report: Roy Knauft reported that he and
Mr. Clodt had toured the District's various sites and
facilities. First the Plant on Richfield Road, there they
had determined that a suitable building could be placed in
the south corner with an attached garage or equipment storage
space. Second site was the Reservoir No. 1 on Highland, a
suitable spot at the southeast corner, however difficult for
easy public access and probably a collection office would
have to be more centrally located and more easily accessible.
Third location the District reservoir site on Valley View
just below the Diemer plant, this too was a beautiful site
but not easily or conveniently located. Fourth site is the
old Plant No. 2 property on Plumosa north of Lemon a 150 x
100 foot lot where there is presently a house and barn.
Suggested that this is the best of the four District properties
for a new office building site. In the interim suggest that
theproperty adjoining the District on the south (animal hosp.)
could perhaps be rented and used for the engineering department,
or we could remodel present facilities to make room for En-
gineering temporarily. Last possibility suggested would be
to go along with the City on a site and combine parking and
have separate facilities.
Discussion. Moved by Director Wagner, seconded by Director
Knauft carried unanimously to have the Committee meet with
the City representative, taking with them some sketches, made
by our own engineering department and see what the feeling
would be regarding a variance for the Plumosa site.
Mr. Austin Marshburn and Mr. Glenn Moore came into the meeting
at 9:15 a.m. Their suggestion was that the District consider
a site at Lakeview and Lemon to either combine with the City
or separately, and to rent or lease from the Builder and be a
part of the Shopping Center at Lakeview and Yorba Linda Blvd.

the project would be ready to go, to also investigate the
various methods; lease, rent or purchase site with a lease

ideas. Suggested also that he get some figures on what it
