Box 3427/1155 Del Rosa Avenue San Bemardino, CA 92413-3427 Dear Mr. Martin: In March, the Califomia State University, San Bemardino, Water Resources Institute, and the San Bemardino Valley Water Conservation District initiated a quarterly breakfast program centered on the topic of water resources. Our purpose is to inform business, civic, environmental, legislative, and water agency leadership in the Santa Ana River watershed about issues affecting the use and availability of water resources. Mr. Jim Bartel, Field Supervisor, Carlsbad Office, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, has confirmed to be the speaker for our next breakfast meeting at 7:30 a.m. on Friday, June 8, 2001 at the San Bemardino Hilton. As we are all aware, the relationship between wildlife habitat and water resources is significantly important, especially in Southern California. Mr. Bartel will address some of those issues and be available to respond to questions. The attached flyer provides details about the breakfast. Jeff Davis, Director of the Water Resources Institute, and I hope your schedule will permit you to join us for this breakfast meeting. Yours truly, D.

Burnell Cavender, AICP OF Clare Henry Day Sterling Woodbury Melody Henriques MANAGER DII~ECTOKS Manuel Aranda,jr. May 22, 2001 Kalyanpur Baliga, Ph.D., P. E. Senior Sanitary Engineer Drinking Water Field Operations Branch Health and Haman Services Agency Of the State of California Subject: Cross-Connection Control Program -East Valley Water District. Dear Dr. Baliga: I would like to know your understanding and interpretation of the Title 17 in the following areas: Does title 17 identify, or imply, that apartments with 8 or more u~its or apmhnents with swimming pools, require installation ora BPD? If we can convince the EVWD to remove or disregard the ordinance 358 text stating that apartments with 8 or more units, or apartments with swimming pools, have to have a BPD installed, would you approve this? The EVWD may be willing to treat apartment houses as regular houses if the title 17 interpretation allows it. If the EVWD did this, would you approve it? If we reach a compromise agreement with the EVWD, such as removing hose bibs in the proximity of the pool, or removing the laundry mom sink faucet, as an alternative to the installation of a BPD, would you approve such an agreement? Additionally, if the "complexity" of the plumbing in the swimming pool equipment room is the issue, would you accept a compromise agreement, between us and the EVWD, to cut room walls so that the pool plambing would be exposed showing no cross- connection? Can you, Mr. Baliga, suggest some other way, consistent with title 17, as an alternative to the installation ofa BPD in an apartment house? Thank you.

From: Demetrios Vassilakos Subject: Appeal to the Board to redo the Backflow Prevention ordinance revision in the proper way. On January 24, 2000, you announced a decision to appoint an ad-hoc citizens advisory committee to study, research, and advise you on updating the Backflow Prevention Requirements and associated program. On the same day you appointed me as a member of that committee. On April 12, 2000, I received a call from the Board's Administrative Assistant Ms. Mary Wallace to attend a meeting at the EVWD board room on the next day. On April 13, 2000, I attended the meeting. After a discussion of some BPD aispearance and safety concerns brought about by a representative of the city of Highland, I presented a paper titled "GUIDELINES FOR REVISING THE EVWD ORDINANCES" in the areas related to BPD's. I emphasized in that presentation that we should not discfim/nate against any class of poople, such as rich or ~ poor, homeowners or renters. I concluded my presentation by stating the objective of revising the EVWD ordinances so that they are up to date and fair to all water consumers. The revisions should be consistent with the latest experience data and effective towards producing the highest water quality. The rest of the meeting that day addressed costs and pricing issues related to water and sewer services. After that day I called several times inquiring about meetings related to the backflow related program. Every time I was told that every body was busy with higher priority ( than BP) work. In February 2001 my wife and I noticed the EVWD Notice of Public Hearing but it appeared to both of us that it was about fees and charges for water and sewer services; the "baekflow' pro,ram was never mentioned. Then, a week ago we heard that the EVWD had published a backflow regulation revised ordinance. I am puzzled, dismayed, and unable to understand why you did the BPD ordinance revision in such a stealthy way. I appeal to you to reconsider and redo the backflow ordinance revision by convening the ad-hoc committee as you promised on 01/24/00 and gettinl~ a reeommendati0ns report from them. Any Public Hearing Notices should be explicit asking for comments on the baelOlow prevention proi~ram requirements. Thank you. Sincerely, ~' Demetfios Vassilakos.

NOTES FOR EVWD MEETING Of 5/14/01 -- RE: CITIZEN ADVISORY COMMITTEE In January, 2000, EVWD agreed to revise and clarify its Ordinance #355 relating to backflow prevention devices (BPD's), and to create a Citizen Advisory Committee to advise the District on it. We welcomed that development, and matched its spirit of cooperation by suspending our public effort of opposing the BPD's requirement, and looked forward to participate in a serious and substantive review of the issue. For that we formed the following objectives which would help make the revised ordinance: 1. Clear and unambiguous (reasonable protection where a need is clearly demonstrated). 2. Based on clear and unambiguous standards, surveys, and quantified assessments. 3. Be non-discriminatory and fair (same rules for similar situations). 4. Provide for Due Process procedures (notifications, surveys, remedies, appeals, etc.) 5. Comply fully with the controlling State regulations (no contradictions or deviations). Just recently however, we were surprised and dismayed to find out that EVWD ignored its own commitment to create a citizen advisory committee, and instead proceeded on its own in a stealthy and arbitrary process of revising the Ordinance. We feel bitter and deceived. EVWD proceeded behind our (and the community~s) backs, effectively keeping us at bay and in the dark, while all along we believed the revision process was still on-going, and waited patiently for the Citizen Advisory Committee on BPD's to be convened, and for our opportunity to participate and present our point of view. Such practice has no place in a democratic society - forming policies in smoke-filled-room is not acceptable in the USA of the 21st century. And surely it is not the way a public- serving agency like EVWD should act vis-a-vis the community and customers it serves. We protest that unilateral action in the strongest terms, and request that the EVWD Board of Directors take the necessary steps to rectify it by convening the Citizen Advisory Committee as promised, and engaging in serious .and. substantive discussion of the BPD's issues. Sadly, a cursory review shows the new revision achieved none of the objectives listed above. We request and expect that this document will be included in the records of this meeting, be referred to in the minutes of this meeting, and be attached to said minutes.

East Valley Water District 1155 Del Rosa Avenue San Bemardino, CA 92408 Attn: Paul Dolter, District Engineer Re: Ed Hill Sewer Connection, Lochinvar Court. Dear Paul, Enclosed please find tw~ 24 x 36 copies and ten 11 x 17 copies of our Preliminary Private Sewer Lateral Design. This proposed private line would serve two existing and four future homes on Aloe Court. One 6" connection is proposed in Lochinvar Court. These homes and lots are currently served by septic tanks with seepage pits. Concurrent with the construction of the new homes on Lochinvar Court, we have an opportunity to purchase a sewer easement through Lot I of Tract 12802. By extending a 6" private sewer main through the rear of the six lots on Aloe Court, we can serve gravity sewer to each existing and proposed home. The six parcels involved currently have three owners who intend to establish a property owners agreement to guarantee the operation and maintenance of this private sewer system. Each parcel owner will be responsible for a proportionate share of the maintenance costs. We would anticipate paying the districts capacity fees at the time a home connects to the system. We perceive this connection as being similar to a single connection for a town home project where the sewer system is owned in common by the various homeowners. If you have any questions, please give me a call. Ed Hill and I will both be at the EVWD board meeting at 2:00 PM on May 29, 200 I. Dennis Stafford V CC.

(The potential lots on the westerly side of Aloe Court can be individually served from Weaver StreeL) In spite of the fact that it is leas expensive to use a septic tank system, we believe a sewer line is such' a superior waste system (and the public does too) that a substantial increased cost is warranted.

Delays by either party in asserting any of their rights and/or remedies do not deprive either party of its right to institute and maintain any actions or proceedings that it deems necessary to protect, assert or enfome any such rights or remedies. C.

D. The rights and remedies of the parties set forth in this Section are cumulative and the exercise by either party of one or more of such rights or remedies does not preclude the exercise by it, at the same or different times, of any other rights or remedies for the same default or any other default by the other party. 10.

Kennedy BRUN1CK, ALVAREZ & BATTERSBY 1839 Commcrcenter West Post Office Box 6425 San Bemardino, California 92412 Re: Proposed Lease Between Redevelopment Agency of the City of San Bemardino and East Valley Water District Dear Mr. Kennedy: Since our last discussion of the environmental indemnity in the above-referenced agreement, [ have spoken with the Redevelopmenl Agency staff and further reviewed the environmental indemnity language contained in the proposed lease agreement. Enclosed with this letter is a black- line of the proposed agreement, with revised environmental indemnity lm~guage, for your review. The revised indemnity is expressly limited to the time period of £VWD's use or occupancy of the property. Also, the indemnity is expressly limited to Environmental Matters that result from the actions of EVWD, its agents, contractors or subcontractors. This has always been the intent of the indemnity and the revisions altempt to make this intent clear. Hopefully, these limitations will assuage any concerns regarding the potential extension of the indemnity beyond thc activities of EVWD on the property. Additionally, the joint environmental inspection and sotne duplicative text in the previous indemnity have been deleted. Hopefully, EVWD can pass the revised environmental indemnity along to its prime contractor, as EVWD has not contracted for the water tank installation, yet. Sleven M.

ROD 0 Executive Officer TO: GENERAL MANAGERS, INDEPENDENT SPECIAL DISTRICTS SUBJECT: BALLOTING RESULTS FOR ALTERNATIVE LAFCO FUNDING A majority of the districts representing a majority of the population in the county have APPROVED the alternative funding formula recently distributed to the independent special districts of San Bernardino County. As noted on the attached balloting summary, 29 districts voted "yes" on the alternative, 18 districts voted Uno," and 7 districts did not vote. As noted on the ballot, this funding alterr{ative will be applied for only Fiscal Year 2001-02. It is expected that the State Legislature will amend the statutory formula sometime this year; however, the districts will retain the option of developing an alternative funding formula for future fiscal years if they wish to do so. L&FCO staff v¢ishes to thank the members of the Special Districts' ~Working Group" for their work in developing this funding formula, and all the district board members and staffs who participated in the process.
