He stated he talked with Louis Burt, Director of Inland Fish and Game to ask him if the District did not extend the 12-inch main from existing location on Boulder to Third Street, would they ~xtend their service line to tke dead end as it now exists.

ANNEXATIONS District Annexation 1972~3, LAFC No. 1253. Fiscalini Mobile Home Park at Pacific Street and Church Street. He stated there were several methods which the District could use in their annexation procedures. He indicated at the present time the property owners or owner is requesting annexation from the District and District is initiating proceedings through LAFC. Another alternative to this would be for the property owner to initiate his proceeding for annex- ation directly to the Local Agency Formation Commission. If ~is alternate method was used, it would be the respon- sibility of LAFC to inform the property owner of their requirement to annex his property to the City of San Bern- ardino in order to annex his property to the District for District service. Attorney Farrell further pointed out that in his opinion, LAFC has no statutory provisions within their act to allow them to set forth the conditions as they have in Annexation 1972~3 that requests the District to act as an agent for the City of San Bernardino and further stated that if the District were to initiate a suit, it could be a costly and lengthy suit in his opinion. A suit of this nature should be initiated by the California Special Districts Association or the Assn. of California Water Agencies, because thos associations represent Districts throughout the entire State and the decision would therefore effect each District. The various Districts could join as parties to the suit as they each will ultimately be effected.
