The Secretary read the Minutes of the meeting of April 27, 1978 and it
was moved by Director Rowe, seconded by Director Roddick and carried to
accept the Minutes.
President Wright stepped down from the chair and turned the gavel over
to Director Rowe.
It was moved by Director Johnson, seconded by Director Kiel to re-elect
the existing officers: Arnold Wright, President; Larid Roddick, Vice-
President; Harold M. Fones, Secretary-Treasurer. A unanimous ballot was
cast.
Assessments were discussed for the coming year. it was moved by Director
Roddick, seconded by Director Ray and carried that the $2.00 assessment
be continued for one more year.
The delivery schedule of three inches per share was discussed and found
to be a highly successful operation in the past year. Credit for the
successful operation belongs largely to Bill Hiltgen and revised schedule.
It was moved by Director Kiel, seconded by Director Roddick and carried
to authorize delivery of three inches per share for the coming irrigation
season.
Director Rowe asked about changing dates on the delivery schedule. It
was pointed out that changing dates would entirely disrupt the even flow
schedule that had been worked out, and changing days was not feasible.
Director Rowe asked about the liability for the turnout of water at
the North Fork connection with the San Bernardino Valley Municipal Water
District pipeline. After much discussion, it was determined that such
liability was much the same as any other liability, in that water could
erode from negligent acts anywhere along the long ditch and the potential
for negligence at this point was not deemed to be signi~cantly different
than other points on the ditch.

President Wright directed the Secretary to inform Horace Hinckley, of
Bear Valley Mutual Water Company, on any subdivision that is in the works
