Board of Directors again reviewed the requestof Peter Falkins for a
money contribution from the District to aid in the court fight for
the incorporation of Yorba Linda. After discussion the Board decided
that the sole and primary purpose of theDistrict is to provide water
and sewer service and the incorporation is a political situation for

by Director McGuire, seconded by Director Clodt and carried un-
animously to not contribute to the fund.
Moved by Director Hastings, seconded by Director McGuire carried
unanimously to disburse after audit sewer refunds for 1966 in

the recommendation of the staff to borrow $6.57 on next years sewer
drainage funds to alleviate cost of issuing five very small checks
for the 1967 sewer funds to close out the five accounts. Motion
carried unanimously.
Discussion of the Morley job on Oriente in which Mr. Morley paid
for a fire hydrant with a refund contract to be repaid from service
charges of new services installations when new homes were built
across or next door. One home had been built but this property had
a meter installed several years ago so were not assessed for the
fire hydrant. Discussion how to help on this problem of fire hy-
drant installation and costs, such as creatcng an improvement
district within the district for provision of fire hydrants or add
one or two cents to the tax rate to create a pool to help finance
hydrant installation. Another suggestion to set aside a certain
amount of the tax bill just for this p rpose or add a xam small charge
to all water bills to cover the cost of installing new hydrants.
Tabled with instruction to the staff to study this and make a
survey to bring before the next Budget meeting.
Mr. Art Korn asked that the Board review acreage charge in Res-.
olution #134 as stated in Resolution #42 paragraph 3. He gave
the following report on the average of ten tracts for the year.
$5.30 per foot and $260.12 per lot and in 1965 the average had

December 28, 1966 continued

for the change in the year. Roll call vote; Yes, Wagner, Clodt,
