ACTION CALENDAR
5. Review Orange County Water District's Terms for Annexation. General Manager
Payne presented the item stating a term sheet was received from Orange County
Water District (OCWD).
General Manager Payne also distributed a list of "draft" provisions between the
Irvine Ranch Water District and OCWD. This list was received after the agenda
had been assembled and posted. This sheet was distributed to the Board
members, legal counsel and staff. It was noted that a list of provisions between
the City of Anaheim and OCWD has not been made available to the general public.
General Manager Payne made a verbal presentation on the provisions for YLWD
and on those between IRWD and OCWD. Each provision was discussed in detail
and comparisons made between YLWD and IRWD.
General Manager Payne said the District just received the terms between IRWD
and OCWD and it will take time to respond. President Collett suggested giving
OCWD a target date by which the District will respond. The Board of Directors
provided direction to staff and legal counsel on preparing a response as well as
direction on the provisions.
President Collett asked if the Board could come to a timeline to state by a certain
date the District will have this done. Director Mills suggested the District send a
response letter back saying a response on the provisions will be sent within 45
days.
The Board of Directors voted 5-0 directing staff to prepare a response to
OCWD's terms for annexation for review and consideration by the Board of
Directors at its meeting on February 22, 2007.
