HomeMy WebLinkAboutMinutes - EVWD Board of Directors - 04/25/1960342 April 11, 1960 In my recent tour of the facilities of this district, I was pleasantly surprised with the efficiency and magnitude of this operation. This is even more remarkable when it is realized that this has been accomplished by means of revenue bonds only and not one cent of taxation. Our water rates without taxation are proportionately lower than most con~nunities in this area, and in time it is my ambition to lower these rates. The sewer rates will be adjusted and reduced jus~ as soon as possible. This conceivably could happen within a year, Most people are comparing our sewer rates with various city rates not considering that most cities are also deriving income from taxes on such facilities. I feel that the people of this District could and should attend more of these meetings and it is my fervent hope that the press will be present at all times, to report our progress, our errors or trials and tribulations. In this way this can truly be a District representative of all the people of the East San Bernardino County Water D~strict." Signed G. 3. LeVesgue 25260 BASE Secretary Rickert presented a letter from a Mrs. Olive B.

MINUTES The minutes of the regular meeting of April 11, 1960, were declared approved, by the President, as submitted. Director Brooks arrives 7:50 P.M. April 25, 1960 of the the Highland Area (Roughly Pacific to 9th ~ Victoria to Palm Ave.) to the East San Bernardino Gounty Water District for the purpose of sewers. He said-the annexation was not completed due to the need of approximately 60 or 70 signatures and the $150.00 required by the East San Bernardino County Water District for annexation cost. He stated the Highland Community Services District would be willing to pay for annexation cost if the East San Bernardino County Water Districf would be willing to accept the entire Highland Community Services District area. Director Brooks then stated this board has never fully agreed as to the feasibility of serving any part of the Highland Area. President Botts stated that this board was advised by our Attorney, E. Wilson, that the Highland annexation was feasible and that the Board had authorized the Engineers to design the system on an accelerated program in order to be ready to sell the bonds on a favorable bond market. Director Littleton stated the District has a responsibility to the area to make sewers available whenever possible. Hallard said he and the Community Services District wanted the area, if not they would not have gone to all the trouble of taking out the annexation petitions and getting signatures. After considerable discussion President Botts said since there is considerable misunderstanding on the annexation of the Highland Area as well as the Districts ability to sewer the area, he felt it best to have the Districts Attorney's and Engineers meet with the Board and discuss the problems presented. ADJOURNMENT, There being no further business, president Botts declared the meeting adjourned. APPROVED Venn W. Botts, president Harold G.
