The minutes of the meeting of July 21, 1977 were presented for approval.
The minutes were corrected as to the disposition of the letter from the
Water Association of Kern County relative to a contribution. The matter
was to be researched and additional information compiled for discussion
at at later date. With this correction the minutes were approved.
The tentative Water Enterprise Budgets (Agricultural and Domestic) were
distributed for study by the Board and consideration at a later date. ,~
Water Manager Blakemore presented a copy of a letter dated July 27, 1977
he had sent North Kern Water Storage District and Kern Delta Water District
advising them of the status of the riparian rights study along a portion of
the Kern River.
A letter dated July 28, 1977 from the Temporary Kern River Watermaster
requesting support of a proposed policy of the Kern River Interests not
to reduce flow of the Kern River unless a life could be saved, was pre-
sented. On motion by Mr. Bergen the letter was received for study and
for consideration at the next meeting.
The Water Manager presented a letter dated August 3, 1977 accompanied by
a Grant Deed, from Tenneco West, Inc. stating that four small parcels of
Stine Canal were inadvertently omitted when the water assets were trans-
ferred to the City and that the deeds transferred these parcels to the
City. Upon a motion by Mr5 Hoagland the Board accepted the Grant Deed
for the City and instructed the staff to proceed to deed these parcels
to Kern Delta Water District as the present owner of Stine Canal.
A Quitclaim Deed from the City to Tenneco Realty Development Corporation
was presented for the purpose of defining the right-of-way of the "Twenty
Foot Ditch" in Lots 17 and 32 of Sec. 15, T29S, R27E., SBM. Upon a motion
by Mr. Hoagland the Board approved this transaction.
A committee from Cawelo Water District consisting of Board members Milo
Hall,''Raymond Mettler, and Manager John Jones appeared before the Water
Board to discuss the billing of certain oil field water in the Beardsley
Canal which Cawelo ordered and the City delivered to Cawelo during May,
June, and July 1977. Cawelo feels this water should not be charged for
over and above the contract payment of $540,000.00 that they have made,
or are making for this year since it is a dry year and they will not re-
ceive their basic contract amount of 27,000 acre feet. Mr. Mettler re-
ferred to page 27, Section 6.3 of Agreement No. 76-62 (the Cawelo Contract)
regarding "alternate available supplies". Mr. Hoagland responded that he
felt this provision did not apply to the oil field water and he thought
Cawelo and their attorney, at a previous meeting, had agreed. Mr. Blake-
more, and Assistant Water Manager Chafin reported that on numerous occa-
sions the City water staff had clearly stated to John Jones that the oil
field water was delivered for $22.00 an acre foot as non-contract water
and Mr. Jones ordered and accepted the water on that basis. Water Super-
intendent Bogart said that on May 11, 1977 he contacted John Jones and it
was agreed that the City would deliver oil field water to Cawelo at the
rate of 15 cfs per day at a price of $22.00 per acre foot. This water
~'~ould ' etd
otherwm, se have delivered to various B sley lateral customers.
Mr. Bergen stated that he would not negotiate on l) the water is not Kern
River water and 2) the $22.00 per acre foot price. Mr, Hall said that
Cawelo's problem was one of economics and they did not argue with the
source or the price of the water, but wanted the City to see if it was
at all possible to credit payment for the subject water against the
$540,000.00. Upon motion by Mr. Bergen the matter was referred to the
City Attorney for review and referral back to the Board at a later date.
There being no further business to come before the Water Board, Chairman
Rogers adjourned the meeting at 4:45 P.M.

Dear Harold:
You will be pleased to know that Charles Karoly of Rickett, Ward and
Delmarter, a m~ber of the Water Association board has nominated John Blakemore,
Manager of Bakersfield's Department of Water, to serve on our Board of Directors.
The nomination is scheduled for approval by the full board n~t Wednesday at
our 7:30 P.M. meeting. This will supplement the representation the City presently
has with board member Don Rogers. We are glad to have Jo~ on board and look
for~rd to the active participation of the City through his and 9Oh'S board
m~ber ship.
I ~ve enclosed clippings from the Bakersfield Californian and the Taft
Midway Driller on the recent agre~ent of the City of Bakerfield and others on
the storage of some additional water in Isabella. This release went to all 65
-news media of the county which receive our news service. In addition we have
frequent radio and televisio~ releases on all t~es of ~ter i~fomation. It is
the conviction of 'the water districts, business fi~s and individuals who make
up our m~bership that our efforts contribute to the building of an info,ed
public, which in turn redounds to the long-tern benefit of those charged with
the responsibility of furnishing the water needs of the area.
This year we have increased the ~ssociation budget to $42,000, which we
believe to be a~odest amount considering the vital ~portance of water to the
co--unity. The larger budget has called for increased financial participation
on the part of districts and individuals. I am pleased to report that response
to this date has been very encouraging.. No district has failed to meet the
requested increase.
T~ of our m~ber districts, North Kern and Kern Delta, have increased
their contributions to $1400 and $1300 a year respectively. The mutual sharing
of other related costs among these entities and the City on a 1/3, 1/3, 1/3
basis mggests that this might be an appropriate fo~ula as the City considers
its Water Association participation for 1977-78. Of course, you understand all
such amounts are arrived at in a completely voluntary manner.
We hope to h~ve the City of Bakersfield take its place with other segments
of the co~nity%n our objective progr~ of public education on water matters.

Dear ~r. Blakemore:
This letter is to outline to you the Project Hydrospect
Program for 1977-78. The reco~nended program is the out-
growth of conferences by the undersigned with Director Robie
and his Deputy Directors and a conference with Project parti-.
cipants in Visalia on July 16, 1977.
Meteoroioqic Input
Meteorologic input will be provided by Irving P. Krick
Associates, Inc., and Scripps Institution of Oceanography.
Krick Associates will provide a meteorologic projection for
water year 1977-78 and will also provide monitoring service
during the water year relative to the meteorologic projec-
tions.
Scripps Institution of Oceanography is under contract to
the California Department of Water Resources for development
of meteorologic techniques for long range meteorologic pro-
jections. At this time Scripps is not prepared to provide
a specific forecast for the 1977-78 season. If, during the
year, Dr. Namais develops specific forecast procedures for
the basins involved in Project Hydrospect and the Consultants
and Department of Water Resources staff are of the opinion
the forecast should be tested by the participants, the forecast
Mr. John Blakemore , August 10, 1977
--2--
will be made available. If the forecast does become available
from Scripps it will be issued in the same format as the water
supply forecasts based on the Krick analysis.
Scripps will continue with its development program as set
forth in its contract with the Department of Water Resources
and will report periodically to the participants on the status
of its deveIopment work.
Water Supply Forecasts
Water supply forecasts for the water year and April-July
~period in the 1977-78 season will be prepared and disseminated
by Murray, Burns and Kienlen and Sierra Hydrotech. The forecast
issued will be couched in general terms and will not contain
specific monthly precipitation amounts nor specific water Supply
forecasts by basin.
Participant Conferences
At the request of the participants, the conferences in the
San Joaquin Valley will be held at Visalia and are tentatively
s~]eduled for December, January, February, March and April. It
may be desirable to forego the December meeting and schedule a
meeting at the time the 1977-78 forecast is issued. At the par-
ticipant conferences meteorologic conditions to date and verifi-
cation of meteorologic projections to date will be discussed.
In addition, the status of development work by Scripps Institu-
tion of Oceanography and input by Krick Associates will be
reviewed.
Current Analysis
At the request of the participants, they will be kept
informed of current hydrometeoro!ogic conditions in the project
area as the season develops.
John Blakemore
3 August 10, 1977
The hydrometeorologic projections by Krick Associates has
been received and the water supply projections for water year
and April-July 1977-78 have been prepared by Murray, Burns and
Kienlen and Sierra Hydrotech. As soon as the participants have
indicated their desire to participate in the program the Krick
forecast will be disseminated to them. It would be appreciated
if your organization would inform Mr. Robert Zettlemoyer of the
Department of Water Resources, or the undersigned, as to its
willingness to participate in the proposed Project Hydrospect
program.
If you have any questions regarding the program please
give me a call
Yours sincerely,
JosePh I. Burns
