The meeting was called to order by Boardmember Salvaggio at 4:30pm. 2. Present: Mark Salvaggio, Chair Patricia M. Smith Jacquie Sullivan (seated at 4:42pm) 3. Boardmember Salvaggio made a motion to approve the minutes of the Regular Meeting held January 21, 1998. Motion carried. 4. There were no public statements. 5. Hydrographic Supervisor Steve Lafond an update on the current Kern River operations. gave When the Water Board met in January, the Kern River was on track for a normal year with no heavy rain activity. The forecast on February Ist was 100% of normal, by March lst it had doubled to 200% of normal. Records were set in February, Lake Isabella recorded 10.6 inches in 28 days; previous high for the month of February was 6.96 inches in 1978. This year will mark the first four consecutive years of a million or more acre-feet of runoff. For Board information, no action required or taken. 6A. A slide presentation was conducted by Mr. Core on the Northeast Bakersfield Bike Path and Water Facilities Project to update the Board on its progress. The slides showed the diversion point on the river, the reservoir location and the site for the future treatment plant. The primary water supply for the project will be furnished from the Kern River with dry year water pumped and exchanged from the 2800 Acres. A regular monthly meeting is held with all concemed parties in the project. The environmental impact report consultant, biological and archaeological consultants have been hired. The initial draft of the project description should be completed by late May and available at the next Water Board meeting. For Board information, no action required or taken. 6B. A status report was presented to the Board by Mr. Bogart regarding participation in the water themed project and "Water Wall" at Centennial Gardens. At the last Water Board meeting there was a discussion regarding participation by other water entities in the construction of 1 the Water Wall. Buena Vista, Kern Delta, North Kern and Bravo Management Company, Inc. have indicated they will each contribute $7,500 to the project. In commemoration, a plaque will be mounted on the side with the names of the Kern River Watermaster Group, giving a brief background of what they do and their function as water right holders. Staff recommends that the City contribute the remaining $20,000 difference. An additional $5,000 was requested at the last Water Board meeting for design and preliminary work on the project, so the total contribution by the City will be 25,000. A motion for approval was made by Boardmember Smith. Motion carded. 6C. Mr. Core gave an update on current activities regarding the Southwestern Willow Flycatcher situation. The Southwest Center for Biological Diversity has amended their legal complaint to include the Kern River Watermaster along with the U. S. Fish & Wildlife Service and the U. S. Army Corps of Engineers. The Watermaster inclusion is allegedly due to excess carryover of Isabella during winter operations causing areas to inundate in summer when the spring snow melts, taking habitat away from the Flycatcher. The Corps of Engineers, Fish and Wildlife Service and the Watermaster successfully had the injunction repealed for this year allowing the river and reservoir to operate as usual with no restrictions on storage and carryover. For Board information, no action required or taken. 6D. A status report on the Kern River Parkway property acquisitions was given by Mr. Bogart. The 8½ acres owned by Harry Ellingston was the property given first priority to purchase; because this property is in the center of the Parkway and without it, the equestrian trail cannot be completed. A contract offer and signed purchase agreement have been prepared for finalization. The property given second priority is that of Fred Jones located between 99 Highway and the bend of the Cross Valley Canal. Mr. Jones does not want to sell the entire property, only the 40 foot strip of property along the shoreline of the river. The third priority property to purchase belongs to Hugh Sill and is located between the river shoreline and the Cross Valley Canal. Based on negotiations of fair market value and appraisal these three prime pieces of property would comprise the $500,000 grant. For Board information, no action required or taken. 7^. The recent activity regarding fluoridation of the domestic water system was presented by Mr. Core. City Councilmembers were contacted by local dentists concerning availability of money fi.om the state for fluoridation of the City water system. The 1995 State Legislature passed AB733 which mandated the fluoridation of all public water systems that have over 10,000 connections with the proviso that the costs are covered without using bond money, rate payers money, or any kind of money derived from customer rates. The state has to provide the funds for fluoridation costs. At this time, the state health depamnent has applied for private grant money that would total no more than ten million dollars. There are currently 166 systems with over 10,000 service connections and the City is 161 on the list. Boardmember Salvaggio asked Mr. Core to provide this information to the Mayor and other Councilmembers. Mr. Core said he would prepare a memo regarding this subject and send it to the mayor and council. For Board information, no action required or taken. 8. Closed Session. The meeting adjoumed to Closed Session at 5:23pm. 8A. Conference with legal counsel - existing litigation. Closed Session pursuant to Government Code Section 54956.9(a) Kern Delta Water District vs North Kern Water Storage District, et al., Tulare County Superior Court Case No. 96-172919.

The median (50%) forecast assumes median conditions after the date of forecast. Runoff exceedence levels are derived from historical data. The 90 percent exceedence level and the 10 percent exceedence level together comprise a range about the median forecast in which the actual runoff should fall 8 times out of 10. Forecasts are stated in 1,000's of acre-feet and percent of (50-year) average. The averages are for the period 1946 to 1995. /B120UP. 2 of 3 5/21/98 10:02 AM Foreca,5. t,of Runoff Volumes for the Snowmelt Season http://nimbo.wrh.noaa.gov/cnrfc/snowmelt.htm Forecast of Runoff Volumes for the Snowmelt Season Issued May 20, 1998 Produced by the National Weather Service and the California Dept. of Water Resources Remarks: The Sierra snow pack should be melting during May, but for the pas three weeks, there has been very little change in the water content of the pack. Weather systems continue to move through the west coast, keeping temperatures well below normal and producing periods of precipitation. Temperatures are expected to reach near average over the Memorial Day weekend, but another cold weather pattern is expected to dominate the last five days of the month. The firs warming of temperatures to above average is indicated for the beginning of June. All forecasts incorporate predicted temperatures for the first 5 days. Most probable forecasts reflect normal temperatures thereafter.

Attached is the amended language reflecting the addition of an escalation clause to the agreement for the next five-year period. As we discussed, this amendment should bring the exchange rate escalator in line with "chargeable days", provision contained in the 1964 Miller-Hag, gin Agreement, as amended. If these changes reflect our mutual understanding of the contract amendment, please execute the attached AMENDMENT NO. 1 TO AGREEMENT NO. 94-01 W.B. and we will process it at our next regularly scheduled Water Board meeting. Thank you for your consideration on this matter. ?,,en.ep. ogart % Water Resourcl~s Manager cc: Alan D. Daniel, Assistant City Attorney 1000 BUENA VISTA ROAD · BAKERSFIELD.
