WATER BOARD - CITY OF BAKERSFIELD
THURSDAY, JULY 21, 1977
4:45 P.M.
The first regular meeting of the City of Bakersfield Water Board was
called to order by Kenneth Hoagland~ acting as interim chairman.
The secretary called the roll as follows:
Present: Kenneth Hoagland
Donald K. Ratty
Donald A. Rogers
Absent: H.E. Bergen
James J0 Barton
The first order of business was the election of a chairman and upon a
motion by Ken Hoagland, Donald A. Rogers was elected Chairman of the
Board.
Resolution No. 1-77 W.B. was adopted by the Board setting regular meet-
ings of the Board each Wednesday at 4:00 P.M. at City Hall.
A letter from Cawelo Water District dated July 14, 1977, relating to
Invoices 5642 and 5643 was reviewed. The Cawelo committee will be in-
vited to the next Water Board meeting to discuss the matter. The staff
is to notify Cawelo of the date and time of meeting.
Mr. Hoagland brought to the attention of the Board the matter of some
water district board members serving on more than one board. When .this
occurs on the boards which have water contracts with the City it could
lead to misunderstandings during negotiations. Upon a motion by Ho~gland,
John Blakemore is to draft~ letter for the Chairman to send to the con-
tracting districts stating that when committees for two, or more, districts
meet with the City, if any district board member present is a member of
another board, then another representative of that board be present also.
A ~raft agreement, dated July 18, 1977, between the City and North Kern
Water Storage District, relative to sharing oil field water discharging
into Beardsley Canal, was discussed. The draft is the result of several
meetings between Rogers and Blakemore for the City, and Froman and Williams
for North Kern. Rogers and Blakemore recommend acceptance of the agree-
ment in principle, with some minor language changes to be worked out.
The agreement states that the historic quantity of water will be divided
65% to North Kern and 35% to City and all water above the historic quan-
tity will be shared equally. On a motion by Hoagland the Board approved
the agreement, subject to review by the City Attorney and Consulting
Water Engineer.
The Board was informed that an application to the Economic Development
Administration for drought relief funds for the Bakersfield domestic
water system was being prepared to determine if the City was eligible
for such funds.
Borrow Agreement No. 77-01 between the City and James G. Francis Con-
tractor, Inc. for removal of sand from the Kern River Bed approximately,
one-half mile upstream from the Stockdale Highway bridge, was approved.
A letter from the Water Association of Kern County relative to a con-
tribution from the City was discussed and referred to the City Council.
A draft resolution from the Kern River irrigation interests- regarding
operation of the Kern River during search and rescue operations was
tabled until the next meeting.
A request from Kern County Water Agency for a contribution from the City
of $1,562.00 for summer cloud seeding was discussed. No action was taken.
It was suggested that the county-wide entities such as the Water Agency
or the County Board of Supervisors might be more appropriate agencies
to fund such a program.
The Board was advised of the status of S.B. 346-Ayala, the so-called
Peripheral Canal bill. Consulting Engineer Stetson will have additional
information on this bill at a later date.
The Board was advised of a meeting at the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation
offices in Fresno on July 28, 1977 between the Bureau and Kern River
interests, regarding application by the Bureau of the 160-acre limitation
to the Isabella project. Water Manager Blakemore will attend this meet-
ing.
~ After discussion of several requests for permits allowing contractors to
~ periodically pump small quantities of water from City owned canals for
~ dust control, compaction, etc. purposes, it was moved by Hoagland and
~ passed, that Water Manager Blakemore be authorized to issue temporary
~ pumping agreements for water to be used for industrial purposes only.
/Permits will be $150.00 per year for users Of small quantities of water
/and $300.00 per year for users of larger quantities. The specific
[formal agreement will be worked out by Water Department staff with the
ity Attorney. ·
Don Rogers reported on a telephone call he had received from Paul Enns,
President of Rosedale-Rio Bravo Water Storage District relative to
serious ground water overdraft n~ar the Rosedale area caused by irrigation
pumping by Tenneco on recently developed land. It was suggested that the
Board'might meet with Tenneco and other parties regarding a cure ,for this
problem. This matter was tabled for discussion at a later date.
There being no further business to come before the board, the Chairman
adjourned the meeting at 5:20 P.M.
