RESOLUTION NO. 78-14 entitled: RESOLUTION OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS
OF THE YORBA LINDA COUNTY WATER DISTRICT APPOINTING ASSISTANT DIST-
RICT SECRETARY. Roll call vote: Ayes, Knauft, Lindow, Wagner and
Korn. Noes, none. Absent, Director Clodt. Abstain none. Passed
and adopted this 22nd day of March 1978.
Mr. Art Kidman gave a summary of the Annexations that are to be
heard at LAFCO on March 22, 1978. The annexations are Annexation
78-1, 78-3 and 78-4. Mr. Kidman explained that on annexation 78-2
the Board had adopted a resolution on March 14th requesting with-
drawal by LAFCO and that it would be ordered off calendar without
prejudice.
Annexation 78-1 staff have met with all landowners and terms and
conditions have been approved, all landowners have had a copy of
the resolution and terms and conditions and know of the hearing
date, time and place. Everyone is in 78-1 and the maps and des-
cription have been submitted to County Surveyor's office.
Mr. Kidman said that the agreement in principal had been reached
with Bryant Ranch however the Bryant Ranch would be a separate
Improvement District. Mr. Kidman said this would have no effect
on the rest of the District and inasmuch as Bryant wanted this
they would pay for the oversizing of the cross feeder or build
a parallel line whichever option they wanted at time of construction.
Annexation 78-5 for the two separate parcels had been filed with
LAFCO, the Long property and the Getty Oil Company and it will
probably be June before this annexation is processed.
The Annexation 78-3 is for the southern half of the Travis pro-
perty and 78-4 for the entire parcel. This District has proposed
terms and conditions the same as the previously annexed territory
shown in green on the Annexation maps. LAFCO staff has recommended
approval of 78-3 and 78-4.
The landowners have requested that these two annexations be con-
tinued because financing has not yet been determined.

Mr. Kidman said that he felt the Improvement District was the
logical way for development. Enough money would be available,
available at the right time, and cost distributed equitably over
all the property to be benefited. Discussion.
President Knauft asked Mr. Hobbs and Mr. Davalos and staff if there
was anything they would like to add to Mr. Kidman's summary of
the position of the District and the annexations and how things
were shaping up for the hearing at 2:00p.m. Wednesday March 22, 1978.
Staff said they had nothing to add to Mr. Kidmans very complete and
clear report.
Mr. Knauft asked audience if they had any comments.
Mr. Bowie spoke regarding the continuance of the hearing on the
Annexations for one week. He said they wanted to see the engineering
report, the Stone and Youngberg report and the agreement with Bryant.
Mr. Kidman explained that the financing and the proposed Improvement
District was not a part of the annexation and that it would be deter-
mined later.
Mr. Bowie pointed out there was at least three alternatives to the
financing of the areas to be annexed. Discussion.
Moved by Director Lindow seconded by Director Wagner to adjourn to
executive session motion carried unanimously.
The adjourned meeting was reconvened at 10:30 a.m. Meeting called
to order by President Knauft with Directors Knauft, Lindow, Korn
and Wagner present. Director Clodt absent.
Moved by Director Wagner seconded by Director Lindow to go ahead
with Annexation 78-1 as planned. Motion carried unanimously.
Moved by Director Wagner seconded by Director Lindow that the Board
favored Annexation 78-3 and 78-4 being approved at the same time as
78-1, their reason being there would be no islands to be annexed at
a later date. Motion carried unanimously.
Moved by Director Wagner seconded by Director Lindow directing staff
to meet with all interested persons and make available all available
material from Stone and Youngberg, and the Engineers and to consider
all alternate financing methods that might be presented against the
proposed Improvement Districts as a base. Motion carried unanimously.
Moved by Director Lindow seconded by Director Korn to adjourn at
10:50 a.m. Motion carried unanimously.
