PUBLIC FORUM

Joan Kerns asked about the possible pollution of a District well if the well property is sold. The General Manager said the well has an adequate sanitary seal, and there should not be any problem

REVIEW OF TEN YEAR PLAN

President Muller provided an introduction of the second Board Financial Workshop. He then had the General Manager review the ten year plan which was recently revised as a result of comments made at the first Board Financial Workshop. The Board discussed all of the items on the Board workshop agenda.

A motion was made by Director Puddicombe, seconded by Director Campbell and unanimously carried that water sales at 25% below the Long Range Plan be used as a base case for estimating water sales over the next ten year period.

A motion was made by Director Puddicombe, seconded by Director Campbell and carried 4-1, with Director Wilson opposed, to ask staff and counsel to devise a formula for calculating changes in the Capital Cost Recovery fee on an annual basis that will automatically impose these changes for 1997-98 and the following four years.

Director Wilson requested that the staff review the District’s cash flow needs over the next 18 months. The General Manager suggested completing the 1997-98 budget by April rather than June and this was supported by the Board.

The meeting was adjourned at 4:45 p.m.
