Other people at the meeting Howard H. Hendricks, Secretary.
Mr. David Phares made a motion, with Mr. Rickert seconding, that the
minutes of the October 18, 1974 meeting be accepted as mailed and
carried unanimously.
The President brought up the discussion of a salary increase for Leon
Stafford. It was noted that he has been paid $65.00 per month since
approximately 1965, for turning in North Fork Water Company water at
the weir and keeping records. It was felt that since a long period of time
has elapsed, an increase was justified. Upon a motion by Mr. Jennings,
seconded by Mr. Rickert, Leon Stafford was to receive $80.00 per month
from February 1975.
Discussion was held concerning the monthly measurement records that are
maintained by Leon Stafford. The Secretary stated he had just recently
received the records and had made copies for the North Fork file. Here-
tofore they had been held only at Bear Valley Mutual Water Company. Upon
a motion by Mr. Rickert, seconded by Mr. George, that Mr. Stafford was
to supply the company with the monthly measurements on a monthly basis.
Motion carried unanimously.
The subject of Mr. John Fiscallini and his covering the ditch below his
tract was discussed. The Secretary indicated that he had spoken with
Mr. Fiscallini, after writing Mr. Fiscallini, concerning the Board
approval for an increase in the amount that North Fork and Bear Valley
would contribute, but he stated that he was not interested in covering
the ditch at this time.
Mr. Rowe reported also that the pipeline that Mr. Fiscallini had started
through his Carriage Hill Tract, had been approved as installed. Mr.
Rowe further suggested that it would be better if the company were to
get into the beginning of these plans, rather than having to work with
them after the fact.
Mr. Rowe reviewed the draft that had been prepared for the water exchange
agreement with the Board members and pointed out those items he
felt should be considered further by our Attorney. He stated that
these items had been discussed by Mr. Rickert and himself, both
being representatives on the Water Exchange Committee. Upon a
motion by Mr. George, seconded by Mr. Rickert that Attorney Green
be authorized to review the agreement, our draft and any of those ~
items that he felt necessary, in addition to those that the Board
reviewed. Those items being listed and made a part of these minutes,
in a letter that was drafted to Mr. Green. The motion was approved
unanimously.
Upon a motion by Mr. Rickert, seconded by Mr. Phares that a letter
should also be drafted to San Bernardino Valley Municipal Water District,
suggesting various changes to the plans and their pipeline as it
pertains to North Fork Water Company, one which concerns the size of
the reservoir and also the surge line that could be relocated as used
as a means to put water into the existing North Fork Weir Box. The
motion carried unanimously.
The subject of the Contract for Valley Municipal Water and their
Engineer Bechtel cleaning up after the installation of the pipe line
was discussed. Upon a motion by Mr. Rowe, seconded by Mr. Phares that
Mr. Jennings and Mr. Phares, knowing the area better than anyone, where
the pipeline crossed North Fork facilities, that they should review the
property and if they find the cleaning to be contrary to what should be
done, to so notify the Secretary of the Company and Mr. Hendricks, in
turn would write a letter to Valley Municipal Water District. Motion
carried unanimously. ~
As there was no further business to be brought before the Board, the
meeting was adjourned at 4:50 P.M.
