The meeting was called to order by Chairman Barton in the Department of Water Conference Room. The secretary called the roll as follows: Present: Barton, Ratty, Kelmar, Oberholzer Absent: Payne The minutes from the meeting of August 18, 1982, were approved as presented. Review of the Ashe Water Rate Schedule was brought before the board. At this time Mr. Hawley informed the board that last spring the City Council adopted the Ashe Water Rate schedule which called for a ten (10%) percent rate increase effective July 1982, then in July the City Council deferred the adopted ten percent rate increase for the Ashe System for 90 days. After discussion, Mr. Ratty made a motion that the board recommend Council to continue current rate schedule for an additional 90 days, with staff to re-eval, uate at that time. The motion was passed. At this time a memorandum to establish availability fee for water service within the Ashe and Fairhaven Service areas, as provided by Municipal Code Section 14.04.120 B. was pre- sented to the board. Mr. Hawley stated that Stetson Engineers had reviewed and recommend this fee concept. After discussion, Mr. Ratty made a m~T_i~nthat the board recommend Council to adopt fee schedule. The motion was passed. At this time the proposed Kern River Property exchange between Tenneco Realty Development and City of Bakersfield was presented to the board. At this time Mr. Bogart stated that in August this proposal was originally brought before the Water Board. This exchange involves City property that would be conveyed to Tenneco which includes 7563 square feet (1/6 acre) located at the east levee of the Kern River Channel and 24th Street. The Tenneco property that would be conveyed to City includes 31.64 acres located in the primary and secondary flood plain of the Kern River Channel between Chester Avenue and Manor Street. After discussion, Mr. Ratty made motion that the board recommend to the City Council the proposed property exchange between Tenneco and City of Bakersfield. The motion was passed. City of Bakersfield-California Regional Water Quality Control Board contract for groundwater quality investigation of City's 2800 Acre recharge area; Fourth and Fifth Quarterly Reports were presented to the board for information by Mr. Core. Staff Comments At this time Mr. Chafin gave an outline on water supply. He reported that the First Point Interests received approval of the Corps of Engineers to up the carryover storage in Isabella this year from normal criteria of 170,000 acre-feet November 1, 1982, to 245,000 acre-feet for 75,000 acre-feet additional storage. This was done by the Kern River Interests with the cooperation of the Tulare Lake Basin people, namely the Boswell Company. This means the City of Bakersfield would have a carryover storage of about 18,000 acre-feet more than they would have had if it was only 175,000 acre-feet. The total City storage would be 51,600 acre-feet of carry- over, of which a small portion belongs to Kern Delta Water District. In the 2800 Acres this year we have put into our bank account (City) approximately 32,000 acre-feet of water bringing our forecasted total in underground banking at 100,000 acre-feet by the end of this year. So, with the carryover supply of what we have in Isabella, what we have in the underground bank,and the 2800 Acres we are in pretty good water supply condition. At this time Mr. Hawley presented a list of Mainline Extension Agreements between the City and Tenneco Realty Development to the board for information only. There being no further business to'come before the board, Chairman Barton adjourned the meeting at 12:31 P.M. City of Bakersfield Water Board L~inda Hostm~er, Secr~ar~ City of Bakersfield Water Board
