Community Outreach Efforts
President Collett gave an overview of the cumulative total water conservation to
date. He also reminded everyone that beginning November 1St, outdoor watering
would be limited to one day a week.
3. Potential Future Agenda Items
President Collett stated that the "Drought Response, Water Conservation/Drought
Penalty Ordinances, and Community Outreach Efforts" item should remain on the
next meeting agenda.
President Collett announced the final numbers for the Proposition 218 votes: out of
27,366 potential protests, 21 ,042 did not protest the Prop 218 rates which is 77% of
the District; 6,324 were valid protests and 1 ,632 were invalid protests.
President Collett also reported that on October 14, 2015 the Yorba Linda Taxpayers
Association delivered to the District a Petition for Referendum seeking repeal or
voter confirmation of Resolution No. 15-22, setting the new increased water rates.
General Manager Marcantonio stated that the District's legal counsel's advice is to
process the purported referendum petition in accordance with CA Elections Code,
even though the referendum may not be applicable to Resolution No. 15-22. As the
Board Secretary and Election Official, Mr. Marcantonio conducted a prima facie
count of the signatures which came to 5,519. The Petition has been sent to the
Registrar of Voters (ROV) for validation of the signatures and the ROV has 30 days
to authenticate those signatures.
President Collett announced that the Yorba Linda Water District is being recognized
by the California Special District Association with a "District of Distinction Award" for
their prudent fiscal practices and effectively operating and governing a special
district.
Mayor Hernandez congratulated the District for receiving the distinguished award.
