OLD BUSINESS
President Boneystee1e digressed from the order of the agenda to take
up Item No.2 for those members of the audience who wished to be heard.
2.
REVENUE PROGRAM
a. Mr. Derek Augood of Danvi11e, who spoke at the Environmental Quality
Charge Hearing on June 10, requested to be heard in regard to septic tank
users. Mr. Augood had reviewed the guideline material and claimed that the
material omitted the user charge. He made inquiries to the St~te Water
Resource Control Board in Sacramento with regard to septic tank users being
included in the $72 charge. The State informed him that if the District
raises enough money from the users to cover maintenance and operation costs,
it could exclude the people on septic tanks.
President Boneystee1e advised Mr. Augood that at the Hearing of June 10,
the Board had approved a motion directing staff to ascertain the number of
properties being served by septic tanks, in order that the Board might
consider exempting those users from the charge.
Mr. Horstkotte, General Manager-Chief Engineer, stated that pursuant
to Board's instruction, staff is now diligently working to determine how
many developed properties are served by septic tanks.
Another member of the audience suggested that the District obtain the
needed information by checking the septic tank records of the County Health
Department, but the Board and staff did not feel that their records would
give the necessary information.

Mr. Horstkotte stated that we have reached a point where we are 90-99%
accurate in our septic tank count. In approximately two weeks, notices
will be sent to all owners of developed properties which are possibly served
by septic tanks, requesting the owners to confirm their septic tank status.
This information will then be verified by District personnel by making a
dye test. The study should be completed within two months, which will,
however, be too late to permit removal of the septic tank owners from the
tax roll billing for 1976-77. Payments made by the septic tank owners can
be refunded near the end of the fiscal year.
After further discussion, it was moved by Member Gibbs, seconded by
Member Allan, that Counsel be directed to prepare an amendment to Ordinance
No. 117, that would provide for refund, before the end of the next fiscal
year, of Environmental Quality Charge payments made by those who are not
connected to the sewer. Motion carried by the following vote:

Mr. Augood requested that the Board make a written commitment that
septic tank users will always be free of any charges.
Mr. Bohn, Special Counsel for the District, stated that ,this Board cannot
commit what is going to be in the future.
Staff informed the Board that as soon as the study is completed, the
septic tank owners will be notified as to the Board's decision.
President Boneysteele thanked Mr. Augood and others present with
regard to the matter and reverted to the order of the Agenda.
1.
1976- 77 BUDGET
a. The Personnel Committee reviewed with the Board the matters ,pertaining
to compensation for Secretary of the District and Recording Secretary and
indicated their recommendations.
'After discussion, Board Members remarked that Recording Secretary is
a position appointed by the Board and should not be considered a District
classified position.
After further discussion, it was moved by Member Gibbs, seconded by
Member Allan, that the additional compensation to Clyde M. Hopkins, as
Secretary of the District, be increased from $191 per month to $300 per
month; and that the additional compensation to Julie L. Vernon, as Recording
Secretary, be changed from $25 per meeting to $105 per month, be approved

b, Member Allan, Chairman of the Personnel Committee, then took up
the matter of salary and wage increases for management.
Member Allan went on to explain that any adjustment would include only
the Deputy General Manager-Chief Engineer and three Department Managers.
This is due to the fact that Mr. Horstkotte, General Manager-Chief Engineer,
was granted a salary increase last January, which was understood to be his
last increase in compensation prior to retirement.
Mr. Horstkotte related his major contributions, particularly the
treatment plant grants to the District, and stated that he feels justified
to request the same acknowledgement as his managers.
President Boneysteele asked if there was a motion to restore the
General Manager-Chief Engineer's name to the list of management salary
increases. There being no motion, the Board took up the merits of the
7-1/2% salary increases for management positions.
President Boneysteele and Members Mitchell and Rustigian stated that
they considered a 7-1/2% management salary increase excessive.
It was moved by Member Allan, seconded by Member Gibbs, that the Board
authorize a 7-1/2% management salary increase. Motion failed by the
