REPORT ON MEETING The President reported on the recent meeting WITH DENSLOW GREEN with Attorney Green, staff and Water Committee. He stated what is being done concerning the Orange County Water Suit was the first considera- tion. The attorneys of all the entities in- volved have been meeting regularly as have the engineers and that demurrers are to be filed by each attorney to endeavor to involve Orange County entities as they have involved upper basin entities. Each attorney is to send copies of his demurrer to all the other attorneys before filing so each will know what the other is doing. They reel the Orange County Water District does not represent all of the people in the lower basin or Orange County. OTHER WATER AND The President reported that there are meetings RELATED MEETINGS going on very frequently at which this District IN THIS AREA should always be represented by Staff and/or Board members as all are important in the whole picture. Engineer Rowe reported a meeting of the Corps of Engineers of the Flood Control District on April 9th at 10 a.m. at 566 Lugo Avenue where this District should definitely be represented and two things should be worked on. They will discuss flood control work on all the creeks and streams in the eastern area of the valley from Del Rosa east to do away with flood danger by constructing their drainage ditches with concrete bottoms where all the water is carried away and none allowed to percolate into the under-ground basin. This should be discussed with possible solutions for ways to settle at least some of the flood waters into the ground. In connection with this, leaving the gate to Prado Dam open is also a factor and if Orange County expects to close the opening to form the lake, then they should allow the upper basin to build dams to spread some water in our area. This District has protested the closing of the gate in Prado Dam under the present circumstances. There is an amount of water approximated at 14,000 acre feet annually wasting into the ocean at the present time from the Santa Ana River. MOTION Upon motion by Director LeVesque, duly seconded by Director Disch and carried unanimously, District staff, engineers, attorneys and board members are instructed to attend the meeting at 10 a.m. on April 9th at 566 Lugo Avenue.
