The meeting was called to order by Boardmember Salvaggio at 4:35P.M. in the water
Resources Conference Room.

Absent: Rowles
A motion was made by Boardmember.Brunni to approve the minutes of the Special Meeting
held April 20, 1993.
Mr. Bogart brought before the Board the proposed Ordinance relating to City water service
to unincorporated areas. This Ordinance would be consistent with City policy regarding utility
service to unincorporated areas. A motion was made by Boardmember Brunni to approve and
recommend to City Council. Motion carried.
" The proposed Ordinance restricting the pumping and taking of groundwater from developed
lands within the City of Bakersfield was presented before the Board by Mr. Core. The Ordinance
would restrict the pumping and moving of water except by water purveyors. A letter received from
the Kern County Water Agency had concerns regarding the extraction of banked water. Mr.
Dominic Colletta, attorney for Castle & 'Cooke, Inc., suggested that this matter be given further
study and the language of the Ordinance he'refined in order to assure that concerns regarding the
availability of water in the affected areas are addressed. After much discussion, a motion was made
by Boardmember Brunni to delay this item until the next Water Board meeting. Motion carried.
Mr. Core presented an agreement with North Kern W.S.D. and Chevron U.S.A. This
agreement would allow Chevron U.S.A. to resume discharge treated oilfield effluent water into the
Beardsley Canal. The major points of this agreement are that Chevron is responsible for all
construction, monitoring and regulatory costs and the effluent into the Beardsley Canal is not
allowed to be split to other canals. A motion was made by Boardmember Brunni to approve and
recommend to City Council. Motion carried.
Mr. Bogart brought before the Board the non-exclusive water line and canal easement
agreement with Kern County Water Agency to divert spreading water onto Berrenda Mesa property
located west of Stockdale Highway Bridge. This agreement was brought before the Water Board
at the February 10, 1993 meeting, at that time, Mr. Tom Clark of the Kern County Water Agency
asked for a little more time to review the agreement; after reviewing, the Kern County Water
Agency staff is now recommending that it be brought back before the Board for action. A motion
was made by Boardmember Brunni to approve and recommend to City Council. Motion carried.
Mr. Core presented for Board information and approval the updated City of Bakersfield
"STANDARDS and SPECIFICATIONS for DOMESTIC WATER SYSTEMS". This is an updated
compilater of City standards into one package. Boardmember Brunni asked that this becirculated
to interested groups and then brought back before the Water Board at its next meeting. A motion
to this effect was made by Boardmember Brunni. MotiOn carried.
For Board information, there were various Mainline Extension Contracts which were
reassigned to trust accounts. This will not change the City's financial obligation for the payout of
these contracts.
With the absence of Boardmember Rowles, the discussion of permanent meeting times and
dates was postponed until the next Water Board meeting. The date and time of the next Water
Board meeting was set for Tuesday, August 17, 1993.
A motion for adjournment was made by Boardmember Salvaggio at 5:20P.M.
