Harold M. Fones, Secretary
Mr. Arnott was discussed in that he had requested to purchase or
lease North Fork land for a road and fencing. Mr. Arnott has taken
no action on the development of agricultural uses for this land,
however, he is now using the North Fork road for access to his
property. The Secretary was instructed to block off this road one
day a year so that a permanent right of access would not be developed.
Pipe installation on Tract 10195 was discussed. The access easement
for the North Fork Water Company has been buried under a fill slope
by Charnofsky and we need to identify the easement across the property.
The secretary was directed to check the plans for easement. %n a
further discussion Director Johnson made a motion that would request
East San Bernardino County Water District to secure a 20 foot easement
on either side of the ditch as a condition before domestic water service.
The motion was withdrawn and further discussion took place. Director
Roddick moved, seconded by Director Johnson that the North Fork Board
ask East San Bernardino County Water District if they will make it a
condition for future water service that the right-of-way be defined;
the alignment and design to be approved by the North Fork Board. This
motion passed unanimously.
It was moved by Director Johnson, seconded by Director Roddick that
the Secretary send a letter to Harvey Charnofsky putting him on notice
that his activities have damaged our easements and access. This letter
is to be sent certified with copies to Surr and Hellyer. The motion
passed unanimously.
Horace Hinkley is to be contacted in regard to the maintenance of the
North Fork ditch in the areas near Red Hill. Vic Ray and Rod Hanway
agreed to walk the ditch and check it for condition.
The realingment of the North Fork ditch through Tract 10102, the Beattie
Ranch, was discussed by the Board of Directors. The Board reviewed
the plans, and decided that there should be all pipe on this line in
that if part of the canal was left open it would be subjected to
drainage. Also there should be a 20 foot easement with prior rights
and the twenty foot easement should be on one lot or another so
that the maintenance vehicles would be on flat ground. Installation
of the pipeline should be paid for by the developer and coordinated
through East San Bernardino County Water District. A letter to
this effect was to be sent to the owners of Tract 10102, with a
copy to the Road Department and County Surveyor. The Board would
also like to see the design for the road crossings of the canal
pipeline in that they are concerned about the structural adequacies.
The Board wants Eadie and Payne to continue their work and do the
annual audit and ~in that respect they would like to have the annual
audit ready for the annual meeting of March 26, 1981.
It was moved by Director Kiel, seconded by Director Roddick to
have the Board President sue East San Bernardino County Water District
for $750 relative to the stock transaction on Mr. Lee. Motion
passed unanimously. Director Johnson abstained from the vote.
It was moved by Director Johnson, seconded by Director Roddick that
there would be no North Fork money for purchase or installation
of pipe in the ditch for new developments and owners. The motion
passed unanimously.
The Board of Directors instructed the Secretary to post notice for
an annual meeting on March 26, 1981, 7:00 p.m. at the East San
Bernardino County Water District. Motion passed unanimously.
Director Johnson moved and Director Kiel seconded that a committee
be formed to oversee ditch maintenance. Victor Ray and Rod Hanway
volunteered and the motion passed unanimously.
Secretary Harold Fones mentioned the East San Bernardino County
Water District was in the market for a new water reservoir site
which should be at the elevation of 1560 and 1680. Board Members
discussed various possibilities.
There being no further business the meeting adjourned at 9:40 p.m.
