The minutes from the meeting of September 28, 1983, were
approved as presented.
The Special Facilities Agreement for Ashe Water transmission
pipeline was presented by Mr. Core who stated that this Special
Facilities Agreement allows Tenneco Realty Development to in~
stall a water transmission pipeline needed for the Ashe Water
System. The estimated cost of engineering and installing the
16" asbestos concrete pipe is about $80,000. Mr. ?ayne made a
motion for approval. Motion passed.
For the Board's information Mr. Core explained the Mainline
Extension Refund Assignments that are re-assigned will not
increase or decrease the cost to the City.
Mr. Core presented for Board information, 25 Mainline Extension
Contracts, totalling $1,849,000.
The Water Board Ordinance.was discussed.at length. Mr. Moore
recommended that the Water Board consist of three elected
officials and staff members, and that the City Attorney and
City Manager should act as advisors to the Water Board~ Mr.
Moore stated several reasons for this recommendation, among
them was that it puts the staff people in an awkward position
with elected officials; and it had been brought to his attention
that people feel the elected officials have the responsibility
for this; so they should be the ones setting the policy and not
have the staff put in that kind of position. Mr. Oberholzer
suggested that the correct motion would be to recommend to City
Council the modification of the Ordinance to delete those two
members. Mr. Moore made the motion to recommend changing the
Ordinance to remove staff from the Water Board and place them
in an advisory capacity. Motion passed.
Adjourned to Closed Session.
The meeting reopened to the public. ~
Mr. Dow presented a letter agreement from Kern County Water
Agency proposing a construction project in City's 2800 Recharge
Area. Mr. Dow asked the Water Board's approval to sign this letter
agreement after Mr. Oberholzer's office has had a chance to review,
and if found satisfactory to execute. Mr. Oberholzer made a
motion to approve subject to being reviewed for ~legal adequacy.
Motion passed.
