Adjournment MINUTES WATER BOARD - CITY OF BAKERSFIELD WEDNESDAY, MARCH 5, 1980 4:00 P.M. The meeting was called to order by Chairman Barton in the City Hall Caucus Room. The secretary called the roll as follows: Present: Barton, Ratty, Bergen, Hoagland Absent: Payne Staff Present: Chafin, Hansen, Hostmyer Others Present: Gail Schontzler, The Bakersfield Californian The minutes from the regular meeting of February 13, 1980, were approved as presented. Agreement for the Acquistion, Construction, Operation and Financ- ing of the Fairhaven Water Distribution System was presented to the board to consider for appropriate action. At this time Domestic Water Superintendent John Hansen gave a map illustration and out- line of the need and purpose of 'the Fairhaven Water Distribution System. The Fairhaven Industrial Fire Protection District will finance through assessments on the lands and construct a water distribution system in the area west of Highway 99 and on both sides of Rosedale Highway to serve 530 acres of land. The District and the Mutual Water Company have requested that the City take custody, operate, and maintain the completed water facilities. The City will acquire a $3.1 million water distribution system from the Fairhaven Industrial Fire Protection District and Fair- haven Mutual Water Company. A 1.1 million gallon water storage tank, pump station, and site will be acquired from the Regional Occupational Center of Kern by the Fire Protection District. The City will acquire a portion of California Water Service Company service area at a cost of $200,000.00 which is proposed to be financed through a loan from the Ashe Water Disvision. Operation and maintenance of the system would be provided by an agreement similar to the Ashe Water System. City staff would manage the agreement and adminster the system's growth. There is a critical need for an adequate water system in the Fairhaven Rosedale areas. The water system has the capability of expanding to meet the future needs within the area. The staff recommends that the land within the incorporated area (70 acres) be annexed to the Fairhaven Industrial Fire Protection District, so the assessments may be spread over the entire 530 acres. After discussion Mr. Hoagland made a motion recommending that the City Council enter into this Agreement including the changes pur- posed by Mr. Hansen, and recommend the Council enter into a consent for the territories inside the City to be included in the Improvement District. The motion was passed. Board Comments Mr. Bergen stated considerable discussion has taken place regard- ing Olceses application for annexation of that area in the City (Rio Bravo Annexation) outside of Improvement District No'. 4. Mr. Nickel has made certain commitments to the City regarding Domestic Water Service to the Rio Bravo area outside of Improvement District No. 4. Namely; all lower river water rights of the "Down- stream Group" under and pursuant to the Kern River Water Rights and Storage Agreement dated December 31, 1962, would be transferred, unconditionally and irrevocably, from the existing legal owners to Olcese Water District for use first, within the Olcese Water District as now constituted and secondly, within that portion of Olcese Water District now proposed to.be annexed (the area located within the City of Bakersfield but outside of Improvement District NO. 4). I have a letter from our Consulting Attorney Stanley C. Hatch, which has been provided to all board members outlining conditions under which the City could support the requested annex- ation. City Attorney Hoagland stated no storage rights in Isabella Reservoir could be used for Domestic Water. After discussion Mr. Bergen made the motion that the specific conditions for annexation of Olcese Water District as modified be approved and submitted to LAFCO (Local Agency Formation Commission) for their consideration as conditions for the requested annexation. The motion was passed. There being no further business to come before the board, Chair- man Barton adjourned the meeting at 4:35 P.M. James J. Barton, Chairman City of Bakersfield Water Board Linda Hostmyer, Secretary City of Bakersfield Water Board .~:~. ' .*,* ~.... ~. .'* - ' · .. PHONE ; -~7~. "': :, , ;'~ .'. . .* ~ , .~ . .~.
