January 18, 1982
The adjourned meeting of the Board of Directors of the Yorba Linda County Water
District was called to order by President Knauft at 7:30 p.m. in the offices
of the District on Plumosa Drive. Directors Howard Lindow, Fred Clodt, Art
Korn, Whit Cromwell and Roy Knauft were present. Also present Ralph Shook
general manager, Jean Mathews secretary, Chuck Hobbs consultant, Bill Robert-
son project manager and Art Kidman attorney.
President Knauft stated that this workshop session had been called to review
the need for an Amendment to the Master Plan (Water), the Public Relations
Program, the salary for Directors and the organization of the employees.
The correspondence from Citizens for Water was explained by President Knauft
and the President urged each Director to contact other interested persons.
Discussion regarding District's responsibility to lands that are annexed by
the City. Board felt we are the water agency for the City and would be
responsible for serving water to such annexed territory.
Moved by Director Korn seconded by Director Lindow to authorize an engineering
study to be known as Amendment No. 2 to the Master Plan for Water, not to
exceed $5000.00 motion carried with 4 yes votes and one abstaining vote,
Director Clodt.
Charles Hobbs reported on the public relations portion of his report. He
called at five tract offices in the East end, three were closed, one of the
two S and S offices knew nothing about the letter mailed to them by Mr. Robert-
son and the Lyons office were only ones handing out the letters. Mr. Hobbs
suggested that a follow up letter be sent the developers and a copy of the
transmittal letter and the letter itself be available here at this office to
give to new customers as they sign up for service even though it is too late
for them to be informed prior to purchase.
Mr. Hobbs then listed several things that he felt should be done by the General
Manager with regard to the organization of the employees. The Unit as des-
cribed in Rule 16 should be designated, but first and foremost a letter from
the General Manager to all employees outlining his and the Board's position
and his intention to hold meetings with all employees. Discussion.
Moved by Director Lindow seconded by Director Cromwell that the District
neither supports or opposes an employee association but will assist them in
whatever way we can to make an informed decision. Motion carried unanimously.
Board members discussed their compensation and the new law passed recently.
Decision not to do anything at this time.
Mr. Lindow and Mr. Clodt to attend the ISDOC meeting on January 20.
Moved by Director Lindow seconded by Director Clodt to adjourn at 10:55 p.m.,
motion carried unanimously.
Jean E. Mathews, Secretary
