April 2, 1981
The adjourned meeting of the Board of Directors of the Yorba Linda County Water
District was called to order by President Knauft at 8:35 a.m. in the offices of
the District on Plumosa Dr. Directors Knauft, Lindow, Clodt, Korn and Cromwell
present. Also present Ralph Shook general manager, Jean Mathews secretary,
Betty Emblidge auditor, Bill Robertson project manager and Joe Newmyer Vice
Chancellor from North Orange County Community College District.
The NOCCCD Annexation and service for water and sewer to be discussed.
Director Cromwell stated that he did teach one night a week at the college and
he asked if this would be a conflict of interest. Attorney Kidman said that the
funds received from either agency were not of sufficient amount to even file on
his declaration and that it was not a conflict.
Vice Chancellor Newmyer said that work had been started on the adult education
center and that anticipated occupancy was September of 1982.
The District has received a request from NOCCCD to annex the entire area to the
District. The various points of Bill Robertson's inter office memo were reviewed
at length.
The Continuing Education Center will be the only one in NOCCCD name, the homes
will either be sold outright or leased on a 40 or 99 year lease of the land and
the golf course area will be leased to the City for 42 years. The City however,
has not had any interest shown in the golf course up to this time. The College
District wishes to keep this open land in case they ever need it for campus.
Discussion. Mr. Newmyer asked for more specific terms and conditions as pre-
viously outlined along with an estimated cost for water and sewer service, all
this with the understanding that there could be some changes in the dollar figure
as the planning becomes more complete. Staff instructed to start a draft of a
pre annexation agreement with the college and draft of the annexation terms and
conditions to be returned for Board review.
Vice Chancellor Newmyer left the meeting at 10:20 a.m.
President Knauft declared a recess at 10:25 a.m.
Meeting reconvened at 10:40 a.m. with all directors present.
Some discussion on a change in the meeting date of April 6th so that Mr. McQuarrie
can be present. No other good date available in April, suggested that the date be
kept and Mr. McQuarrie informed there is no change but that the Board hopes that
he can be there.
The Orange County Water District Engineer's report discussed at some length.
Director Korn and Ralph Shook felt if they could talk to OCWD Director Larry
Kraemer and express the District concerns it would be worth while.
Attorney Kidman did not participate in the replenishment assessment discussion.
Consensus of the Board was for the General Manager and Director Korn to use their
good judgment at the hearing now that they have an understanding of how the Board
feels on the shift in administrative costs.
General manager Shook gave a review of the interruptable rate and the April 1
April 2, 1981 (continued)
1981 meeting of MWDOC.
1636
The Board of Supervisors hearing on March 31, 1981 on the Tax Allocation matter
discussed. The presentation as made by Charles Wiggins everyone agreed was
excellent, the placement on the agenda did not help ISDOC in its presentation.
Attorney Kidman said he felt that Mr. Wiggins had spent more than four hours in
the hearing and that his bill would be considerably more than had been anticipated.
Discussion.
Moved by Director Lindow seconded by Director Clodt to go into closed session
at 12:02 for purposes of conferring with their attorney on legal matters.
Moved by Directilor Lindow seconded by Director Cromwell to come out of closed
session at 12:45.
Moved by Director Cromwell seconded by Director Korn to authorize the firm of
Rutan and Tucker under the leadership of Arthur Kidman to enter into litigation
on the Tax Allocation Matter with the Board of Supervisors. Motion carried with
four yes and one abstaining(Clodt).
The Fourth Amendment to the Diemer Intertie Agreement was discussed. The date
of June 1, 1981 set as the date that the option ends for the purchase of the
alternative capacity and IRWD waives right to receive 90 days notice of the
option date from MWDOC as required in Sec. 5 of the Second Amendment. Motion
carried with four yes and one no vote.
Attorney Kidman explained that even though the District had signed the E1
Toro Compromise Agreement and the Letter to clarify the settlement agreement there
might be still another letter to further clarify matters, this second letter
would also have to be signed.
Moved by Director Lindow seconded by Director Clodt to adjourn at 12:50 p.m. to
April 6, 1981 at 7:30 p.m., motion carried.
