DISCUSSION OF REQUEST
FOR LETTER OF ASSUR- The President stated to the Board Members
ANCE FOR WATER AND that this Special Meeting had been called
SEWER SERVICE IN TRACT to discuss the providing of water supply
8827 and sewer services to Tract 8827 (31 lots)
being developed by John C. Heers, Inc., of
Hesperia. He asked the General Manager to
give further details of the matter. The
General Manager stated the District had been
requested by the Bank of California National
Association, who is providing the construction
financing for the tract for a letter of
assurance since the annexation of the Tract
to the District had not been completed. The
General Manager explained that Mr. Heers
had filed a request for annexation and paid
the fees for annexation of the 7.6 acres and
it was discovered by District Staff that the
transaction was in escrow and the title
was not vested in John C. Heers, Inc. He
advised the Board that he had talked with
Attorney James Edwards who represents the
vested owner and is willing to request
annexation and sign the necessary annexation
papers and that he would also sign a mequest
for annexation of the additional lands being
annexed (45 acres total, including the 7.6
acres) as well as sign a Deference Agreement
statTng the additional land being sold to
Mr. Heers would meet the water formula
(3 acres feet/acre) if and when the land
developed and required water and sewer service
from the D~strict. The General Manager asked
Attorney Farrell to comment on the matter.
He stated he did not foresee any legal problems
in the request in that in accordance with the
law, the District could serve water outside
the District with the surplus water, that
the Districthas available. The Board
determined a surplus supply of water does
exist and such request for water and sewer
service would be a benefit to the District.
MOTION Director Staltwood moved, du}y seconded by
Director Littleton authorized the Secretary

and legal counsel to prepare a letter of assurance
to the Bank of California National Association
approving the execution of the letter of assurance
by the Secretary, assuring the Bank of California
National Association that the District would pro-
vide domestic water and supply sewer service to
Tract 8827. That Attorney Edwards shall provide
and execute a proper request for annexation of lands
(45 acres, more or less) being purchased by John
C. Heers, Inc., and that a Deference Agreement be
prepared by the District's Legal Counsel on the
acreage over and above the 7.6 acres being develop-
ed as Tract 8827 indicating Superior Orchards, Inc.
and/or John C. Heers, Inc. will meet the District
water formula when the land is developed and
requests water and sewer service. That the Agree-
ment with the bank become null and void after the
annexation has been fully completed.
