Board and staff explained that a great deal of study and preparation
had gone into the development of this program and thus far it is the best
program for this time.
After discussion, President Boneysteele called upon Mr. John Thorp to
consider his comments on a similar matter.
Speaking on behalf of Mr. Thorp was his attorney, Mr. Kully. Mr. Kully
contended that based on water flow the apartment complexes should be
treated in the same manner as a commercial user.
Mr. Dalton, Deputy General Manager-Chief Engineer, responded that
this matter had been taken up with the State, however, the State's recom-
mendation and ruling was that apartments and mobile homes were to be
treated as residential units. The staff has diligently worked with the
State and Federal government and in the future hopes to see refinements
being made.
Mr. Horstkotte, General Manager-Chief Engineer, commented that it was
imperative that the Board adopt a revenue program in order that the District
would continue to receive grant payments. .
, President Boneysteele stated that there had been held widely publicized
hearings where all the points of the program were considered before adopting
the charge. He then asked the Board Members for their comments.
After discussion by Board Members, it was moved by Member Mitchell,
seconded by Member Gibbs, that the Board deny the appeals of Mr. Clark and
