A motion was made by Boardmember Kane to aPprove the minutes of the Special Meeting
held March 16, 1993.
The annexation to City Domestic Water Service Area (Ashe Water) was presented before
the Board by Mr. Florn Core. The area to be annexed is approximately 5,000 acres, one portion
consists of two parcels which are the property of Castle and Cooke; the remaining parcel is the City
of Bakersfield's 2800 Acres. Boardmember Brunni said that she was unable to vote on this item due
to a conflict of interest on a portion of the property. Larry Lunardini, the City Attorney,.
recommended that the properties for annexation be separated and become two items to be presented
before the Board for their approval and recommendation to the City Council. The Water Board will
vote on one portion of this annexation and the other portion which is the southerly portion will be
sent to full Council with no recommendation due to lack of a quorum. Mr. Core stated that there
was also one other Small piece of property, containing approximately. 16 acres, which was part of the
Laborde annexation. The landowners have requested water service from the City due to the
Vaughn Water Company not having the capacity to adequately serve. Vaughn Water Company
would de-annex this from their service area and the City will annex this .property to the City's
Domestic Service area. Boardmember Kane made a motion to recommend the annexation of those
portions the Board can vote on to the Domestic Water gervice area minus the southerly portion.
Motion carried.
Mr. Gene Bogart presented before the B°ard information that the proceedings on SWRCB
Decision 1630 has been shelved by request of the Governor. A letter of thanks to the Governor is
now being circulated for signature by the Mayor and full City Council. Mr. Bogart commented that
the Endangered Species Act will be the major focus now and it's going to be a difficult one to work
around due to the strict regulations it will create on Delta pumping. Boardmember Brunni said she
made a presentation before a group at the League of California Cities regarding the 2800 Acres and
what the Department of Fish and Game is attempting to do to restrict water projects.
A motion to adjourn was made by Boardmember Kane at 5:52P.M.
