DISCUSSION - SALE The General Manager-Secretary spoke to the SURPLUS WATER TO request by the Dillson Water Company to purchase DILLSON WATER surplus water from this District. He then called COMPANY upon Mr. James McDill who introduced Mr. Monlux, their president and Judge Fogg of their Board of Directors. Mr. McDill explained that in addition to their facilities,' they have a 5 year contract with the Cisco well for water, with two years still to go, but they felt it might be more advantageous to receive water from this District if it could be arranged. It would take approximately 1900 feet of main extension to connect District facilities to the southern-most facilities in the neighborhood of 40th Street. MOTION After much discussion, motion was made by Director Forrest, duly seconded by Director Disch and carried unanimously by those directors present, that the matter of supplying surplus water to the Dillson Water Company be referred to the District Manager, Legal Counsel and Engineers for consideration with report and recommendation to be made at the Board Meeting of March 10, 1964. Mr. McDill stated that someone from their company would meet with District representatives to give any needed facts and information. VISITORS RECOGNIZED The President called upon Mr. James O'Dea who CORRESPONDENCE spoke in the interest of facts and costs in READ FROM ST. connection with the sewer connection of St. ADELAIDE'S CATHOLIC Adelaide's Catholic Church properties and build- CHURCH ings to District Sewer facilities. The President read a letter from Father Hugh McNelis, pastor of the Church, regarding the connection. After much discussion, it was pointed out to Mr. O'Dea that by District Ordinance there would of necessity be a $100.00 connection fee to connect into District's collection line plus a $2.00 permit for each tap into the lateral. The connection into Base Line would be expensive and would not take care of any future con- struction which they might consider on the south Feb. 25, 1964 portion of their land due to the contour running in a southwesterly direction. It was suggested that an effort be made to get an easement into Shasta or Bonita Drive in order to take ad- vantage of the natural fall of the terrain and possible use of the south end of property for building purposes, if desired in the future. Director Disch felt a variance in cost could be made in this instance, allowing District crews to do the work, therefore cutting the cost, but it was felt this could not be done as it would set a precedent not in accord with District's Ordinance. It was agreed that District would provide the names and location of owners in the Bonita Drive and Shasta area in order that people of the church might contact them to see about obtaining an easement to run their line to the south or west. This was to be provided in the next two days. GEORGE HERMANN AND The President next recognized Mr. George Hermann DR. CLAPPER PRESENT and Dr. George Clapper who stated they wished FOR DISCUSSION OF to express their interest in the proposed CENTRAL AVENUE installation of sewer collection line in Central SEWER COLLECTION Avenue,from Pacific Street to just south of LINE INSTALLATION Highland Avenue.

Mr. Hermann indicated his property already had a Tract number - 7098, recorded with the County and Dr. Clapper indicated a tentative tract is to be presented to the County in 30 to 45 days for his property. Engineer Halwes indicated a tentative layout of streets extending from the west line of Tract 7098 through Dr. Clapper's property to Central Avenue. It was pointed out to Mr. Hermann that certain easements would be required from him to service LaVerne Street north of his tract. He indicated such ease- ments would be made available. It was further pointed out to Mr. Hermann and Dr. Clapper that shares of stock in a water company and/or well company would be required under District formula as a condition of Annexation. Mr. Hermann indicated he is owner of a large portion of the Jack Sheets well which he would make available to District for his property and Dr. ClaPper's. The produc- tion records of the Sheets well are to be made available for District staff and Consulting Engineers to review. Both were informed that a request for annexation for sewer service could be made to the District which would be processed and forwarded to the San Bernardino County Boundary Commission and Local Agency Formation Commission for approval. They indicated they would do so immediately.
