He indicated all items on Priority List #3, had been deleted by motion at the June 2, 1975 Board Meeting. These items totaled $81,900. He also reviewed the priority items on the capital improvement list shown as Priorities No. 2. He indicated that they were left in the budget, but would be considered as staff felt they could be accomplished. The President indicated also that the Budget shows a deficit of approximately $8,000 in the sewer fund. This deficit comes from the requirement that the net revenue be 1.35 of the debt service. The President also indicated that it was the intention of the Board to consider a 5% cost of living increase to employees which would amount to approximately $23,000.00 to be distrib- uted between the water and sewer fund. He also indicated there is the possibility of a pump tax in the future that could be set as high as $15.00 per acre foot of water pumped by the Distric% payable to the San Bernardino Valley Municipal Water District. He indicated that Ken Patterson in 1969 had recommended that the District initiate a tax and the Board had apparently ignored his and the staff's advice. He stated that at the June 2, 1975 Board Meeting a possible rate increase had been discussed, but no firm commitment had been taken. With this summation, President Forrest indicated he had called this Special Meeting to further discuss methods of raising revenue to cover the 1975-76 budget.
