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."

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.
