It was moved by Rod Hanway, seconded by Victor Ray to approve
the Minutes of the Board Meeting of May 8, 1980.
President Arnold Wright read a letter he had sent to Mr. Arnott.
The letter was placed in our correspondence file. At the present
time there has been no personal contact with Mr. Arnott.
Laird Roddick inquired as to the legal opinion re East San
Bernardino County Water District supplying money to upgrade the
North Fork ditch. The question is: "Would such an expenditure
be a gift of public funds?" As of the present time, Mr. Farrell
has not rendered an opinion.
Tract 10195 was discussed, particuarly in that they have approval
from the County to discharge drainage water into the North Fork
ditch. After much discussion, it was moved by Director Ray,
seconded by Director Rowe for Mr. Roddick and Mr. Wright to
contact Bear Valley to request that they share the expenses of
Surr & Hellyer for the Friday, May 30th meeting. Surf & Hellyer
would be used in any event. Approved unanimously.
Moved by Director Roddick, seconded by Director Rowe to instruct
President Wright, Director Hanway, Secretary Fones or other
directors in attendance at the meeting on Friday to reject any
drainage into the ditch.
Director Hanway left the meeting at this point.
There was a brief discussion on the problem with Eugene Lee and
it was moved by Director Rowe, seconded by Director Roddick to
pay the judgment.
Further discussion was had on the disposition of the funds and
the stock in this case. As a result Mr. Lee has his money for
the stock and the East San Bernardino County Water District has
the stock itself, it was moved by Director Ray, seconded by
N.o 87
Director Roddick to bring a small claim action against the East
San Bernardino County Water District for the amount paid in the
judgment. Voted unanimously.
It was discussed about water deliveries in city streets.
After some discussion, it was moved by Director Ray, seconded
by Director Roddick that the secretary send a letter to the City
informing them that private owners have ditch rights on Palm
Avenue, however, North Fork has no maintenance obligation on
Palm Avenue. Furthermore, the North Fork Water Company has a
historic right to spill water at the end of their facilities
at the corner of Palm and Highland. Motion passed unanimously.
Meeting was adjourned at 8:50 p.m.
Harold M. Fortes
Secretary
