RESOLUTION OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF THE
YORBA LINDA WATER DISTRICT SETTING
FORTH THE POLICY OF REIMBURSEMENT OF
EXPENSES INCURRED BY DIRECTORS
WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of the Yorba Linda Water District
have from time to time reaffirmed the importance of active
participation by the Directors in conferences, conventions,
symposiums and legislative meetings involving water supply, and
WHEREAS, the continuing population growth within the boundaries of
the District, the County of Orange, and the State of California, and
the entire west as a region, creates an enormous demand upon the
existing water supplies, requires more importation of water, and the
efficient use thereof is essential, and
WHEREAS, the District's dependence upon water supply is more and
more upon imported supplies from ever greater distances and the
investigation of alternate supplies, and
WHEREAS, in the coming years an increase in activity with regard to
local and regional planning for the importation of water, the more
efficient use thereof is becoming more evident, and in meeting the
responsibility of the Directors for continual concern in these areas,
this District's participation in such activities must of necessity
increase:

Yorba Linda Water District as follows:

or participating in such meetings.

meetings. However, no transportation allowance or meals will be paid
or reimbursed for spouses. The District will reimburse however, any
increase in housing accommodations by reason of the spouses
attendance. The District will further pay or reimburse the actual
cost of the spouses participation in organized functions at such
meeting designed for the spouses of those in attendance.
4. It is intended that each Director will submit an itemized
account for the expense incurred while attending any such meeting
for the District. It is believed by the Board of Directors that it is
important that full participation in the meetings in the coming
years be encouraged so that the best interests of the District will
at all times be served. It is further the feeling of the Board that
a full accounting of expenditures of public funds should be made
and become a part of the records of the District.
