JOINT POWERS AGREEMENT AMENDMENT AND LETTER OF INTENT Ken Patterson, Auditor for Eadie & Payne had been requested to meet with Herb Wessel regarding a Letter of Intent relative to the Joint Powers Agreement Amendment with the City of San Bernardino. He stated he had met with Mr. Wessel and discussed the matter. Mr. Patterson reviewed the Joint Powers Agreement from the time it had been discussed originally and an agreement entered into by the City and District for the benefit of the new Directors. He indicated the Joint Powers Agreement had given the District a definite service area for sewer service; that the agreement would cover the use of the East Trunk Line and sewage treatment; that the City and District would maintain and build their own pipe lines and do their own billing, with joint use being only in the use of the East Trunk Line and sewage treatment. He stated the fair method would be for monies collected by each entity be for the use of such facilities. He indicated this has been the concern of the District each time the matter has been discussed, that they wish to pay only their fair share for the use of the facilities, no more, no less. He indicated he felt a letter of intent would be helpful for future reference in understanding the intent of the agree- ment. He indicated he also felt that the definitions of certain words should be very clear so there would be no misunderstandings by either party. The letter of intent which Mr. Patterson had prepared was given by him to the Board for their review. It was suggested a map be pre- pared showing the exact service area of the District that is described in the Jt. Powers Agreement. After a lengthy discussion of the matter, it was determined a meeting would be held to discuss the Letter of Intent and the Joint Powers Agreement Amendment, which would be revised to reflect the suggestions of Mr. Patterson and any input from staff; that a map would be prepared to reflect the service area. Mr. Farrell and Mr. Patterson would be present at the meeting also. It appeared to be the desire of the Board to complete and approve the Joint Powers Agreement Amendment and Letter of Intent as soon as possible.
