REPORT ON INSURANCE The General Manager and Attorney Henry reported
CLAIM JOHN S. STAMOS on the accident claim of John S. Stamos against
vs FLOYD H~ ALCORN Floyd Henry Alcorn, employee of this District.
Attorney Henry suggested that this be handled
in the customary manner, rejecting the claim for
property damage and that no action betaken on
the claim for personal injury which was sent
in the name of the Board of Supervisors of
the County of San Bernardino. Since this claim
for $100,000 personal injuries and loss of
wages was mot sent to this District(apparently
in error), no action need be taken in this
connection. A letter should be ~ent ~o Morgan
Franz by Attorney Henry with copies of all
correspondence and information in order to keep
them posted since they are our insurange agents.
MOTION Upon motion by Director Wall, duly seconded by
Director Littleton and carried unanimously,
this District rejects the claim for property
damage on the advice of Attorney Henry.
WATER FEASIBILITY Consulting Engineer Rowe was called upon for his
REPORT TRACT 7392 feasibility report on serving water to Tract
BOULDER & BASE LINE 7392 located on the southwest corner of Boulder
Avenue and Base Line. The only way he could
see for water to be served to this tract is
through the purchase of water stock by the
developer or procurement of rights in wells
within the same general area through the
District or a well drilled on the property to
serve that property.
Mr. Carlson, the engineer for the developer
of this tract, was present and was called upon
for any questions he might have. He stated he
was awaiting the Board's decision. Costs of
drilling the well as well as the cost of stock
purchased and the means of equipping a ~ and
and operating it were discussed. He was told
the developer would pay for the drilling of the
16" well and would be expected to sell to the
District a well lot. District would equip a
well and operate it to furnish water to the
tract. It would be a satelite system. If
water were served from a nearby well, it
would be by Sub-stitu~te extraction. More
time is needed by ~he staff and engineers to
investigate other wells in the area.
MOTION Upon motion by Director Littleton, after
complete discussion, duly seconded by Director
Disch and carried unanimously, a time extension
was given the staff and engineers to August llth
for the completion of well information for this
tract.
