Joint -Use of District Property for Recreational Purposes
SUMMARY:
At the June 19, 2013 Joint Committee Meeting with the City of Yorba Linda, the District was asked
to provide a list at the next joint meeting of District -owned sites that may be usable for recreational
purposes. A draft list of District reservoir sites with summary comments is attached.
DISCUSSION:
At the June 19, 2013 Joint Agency Committee meeting, the agenda included "Joint -Use of Water
District Facilities for Recreational Purposes." This was included for discussion because of the long-
standing idea that District facilities, such as the tops of buried reservoirs, would make great sites for
public recreational facilities. The thought was that the District would make the sites available and
the City would develop, operate and maintain the recreational facilities. A variation on this theme is
that the City would develop and maintain equestrian /walking trails along or through the District's
lands. Nothing to date has come to fruition.
The attached list of reservoir sites was prepared at the time that we were considering developing
the Elk Reservoir site for passive recreational use. This idea met with strong opposition from the
residents in the surrounding community. In addition, the City of Yorba Linda indicated that it would
not be able to participate in development or maintenance of the park facilities. Subsequently, the
idea was dropped.
The purpose of this Discussion Item is to review with the EAO Committee the pros and cons of
potential recreational use of District reservoir sites before the idea is taken to the Joint Agency
Committee.

Personnel Rules
6.07 NEPOTISM
page 28
No member of the immediate family of an employee as defined in Rule 2 may be hired
when the employee would have control of the employment status or employment
conditions of the immediate family member.
The District reserves the right to refuse to place one family member in the same
department where such has the potential for creating adverse impact on supervision,
safety, security or morale. If co- employees become members of the same family or
reside in the same household, the District shall make reasonable effort to reassign
one or the other, without discrimination, so as to make it possible for both to continue
to be employed by the District. In the event the District is not able to make a job
assignment consistent with this rule, then the least senior of the two employees shall
be terminated.
6.08 CONFLICTS OF INTEREST
District employees should serve the needs of all customers equally without regard to
their personal gain. It is the policy of the District that all employees avoid situations
which might be interpreted as involving or creating a conflict of interest between the
employee's duties and responsibilities as a District employee and the employee's
personal and private interest.
Employees should not take part in the consideration of any application, proceeding or
other matter involving their own personal property, real estate, investment or other
interest, or that of any relative or close personal acquaintance. In all such situations,
the employee should disclose the nature of the relationship to their supervisor and
request to be relieved of any responsibility or involvement in such matter.
The acceptance of gifts, favors, or any other form or compensation or gratuity may be
viewed as influencing or compromising or attempting to influence or compromise the
judgment of an employee. To prevent such a conflict, employees shall discourage any
offer of a gift or favor or any form of compensation or gratuity. Gifts that can and shall
be shared with office staff, such as boxes of candy, flowers and food, may be viewed
as exceptions. Employees who receive or are offered an unauthorized gift, favor or
gratuity should consult their Department Head to determine an appropriate response
to the donor.
6.09 DRUG AND ALCOHOL FREE WORKPLACE (Subject to Revision)
Because drug and alcohol use can detrimentally affect job performance and
employee safety, the District is committed to achieving and maintaining a drug and
alcohol free workplace. While the District has no intention of intruding into the private
