The Minutes of May 21, 1981 were corrected as follows:
Paragraph three should read: A discussion was held relative to protection
of the North Fork ditch via an easement. A 20 foot easement was rec-
ommended, which would include the ditch itself and an area adjacent to
the ditch for maintenance purposes. Larry Rowe, Engineer for the East
San Bernardino County Water District is proceeding with arrangements for
providing a description of the North Fork Ditch. Mr. Farrell will then
proceed as outlined in his letter re recording of the description and
easement information.
M/S/C (Roddick-Kiel) that the minutes of May 21, 1981 be approved
as corrected.
President Wright indicated he had met with Horace Hinckley, Edward
Jakowczyk and Larry Rowe relative to the proposed standards for changes
to the North Fork Canal due to land development. He stated that the
East San Bernardino County Water District General Manager advised him
that the District's legal counsel stated the District could not act as
an agent for North Fork Water Company and Bear Valley Mutual Water Company.
However, the District's Engineer, Larry Rowe, has been authorized by the
District's Board to act as engineer and ~nspector.
A review of the proposed standards was made by the Board with some changes
being made. It was stated these standards should be a matter of record
and recorded.
M/S/C (Ray-Roddick) that the draft standards regarding changes to the
North Fork Canal due to land development be approved as official standards
of the Companies, as revised at the June 4, 1981, Board Meeting; that the
draft be formalized and given to applicants as standards for any changes
to the Canal brought about by development.
M/S/C (Roddick-Kiel) that the President be authorized to provide the
official standards, as adopted, by certified mail, to anyone considering
development that would cause changes in the Canal.
A discussion ensued relative to a proposed land survey of the North Fork
Canal. Engineer Rowe had indicated Ludwig Engineering would do the work
for approximately $10,000. It was also stated that Bear Valley Mutual
Water Company would bear half the cost of the survey work.
It was suggested that perhaps Horace Hinckley would agree to prepare a
description of the North Fork ditch.
M/S/C (Roddick-Ray) that the President be authorized to ask the
manager of Bear Valley Mutual Water Company to prepare a description
of the North Fork Ditch, as outlined in Attorney Farrell's letter, to
be submitted to either Attorney Farrell or Attorney Bierschbach for
their review and comment.
President Wright indicated he had received a letter from East San Bernardino
County Water District in which they stated they were planning to request
delivery of 300" of their North Fork entitlement water to be spread in
the Conservation District's spreading grounds. It was noted Bear Valley
Water cannot deliver water to be spread. There were questions relative
to the amount of water the District would be taking and the time they
would take it for spreading purposes. President Wright and Director
Roddick will check with Horace Hinckley regarding delivery of Bear
Valley Water and also determine with the East San Bernardino County Water
District the amount and time delivery of their water entitlement.
There being no further business the meeting adjourned at 8:46 P.M.
