Hanauer Co., Attorney Robert Holcomb, Attorney Kenneth Jones, and the Secretary. MINUTES Upon indication that each member present had read the minutes of the previous meeting and that there were no additions or corrections, the minutes were declared approved. HEARING ON President Brooks announced that this was the time and place for a RESOLUTION hearing by the Board on the question of whether the whole or only NO. 65 a portion of the District will be benefited by the accomplishment of the purpose set forth in Resolution No. 65, A Resolution Declar- ing Necessity of East San Bernardino County Water District Incurring Bond Indebtedness and Providing for Notice and Hearing Thereon, adopted by said Board on August 22, 1956, and if only a portion of the District will be benefited, what portion will be so benefited. The Secretary reported that Notice of Hearing had been duly given in the manner and time provided by law. Engineer Rowe testified that in his opinion the entire District would be benefited by the accomplishment of the purpose as set forth in said Resolution. He testified that this opinion is based on the fact that the area of the District is divided into three service zones, namely, the arda North of Marshall Street, the area between Pacific Avenue and Marshall Street, and the isolated individual systems located South of Pacific Street. The source of water supply to the first two zones is the same. The issue proposes the financing of a million gallon reservoir for the upper zone, and another located at Marshall and Sterling, together with a pump station at Well No. 24 at Harrison and Lynwood. The issue also contemplates the construction of larger J P 1 Foom September 18, 1956 distribution mains which are necessary to make the increased supply effective in the improvement of water service. The area South includes a number of individual systems, including that at Fifth and Waterman, the Cottage Garden System, the Eadie System, and in the eastern area on Palm Avenue. These systems are individually operated and are not tied together. The bond issue pro- poses to inter- connect these systems, thereby substantially improving the service and pressures. The issue also proposes metering of all flat rate areas which will substantially reduce maintenance and operation costs over the entire District by to we power costs. It will also help the supply problem in that t`ie a onnec- tions are now using almost twice as much water as the metered connec- tions. It is also proposed to meter each source of supply, which will be of benefit to the entire District in that it will facilitate the obtaining and recording of data required by the Recotdation Act, adopted by the Legislature in 1955, being Part V of Division 2 of the Water Code. In the past the data has necessarily been obtained by indirection. The bond issue also includes the financing of Main Installation in the streets in the area bonded by Baseline, Pacific, Dwight Way and Oshun Road. This will substantially decrease maintenance and opera- tion costs, mince the mains are now located along rear property lines, and there is substantial interference with the meter reader and maintenance men because of fences and other obstructions.
