REQUEST FOR AUDIENCE RE EASEMENT IN LAFAYETTE - RODNEY STICH
Mr. Al Strom, attorney for Mr. Stich, stated that the proposed easement on

property and
Mr. Horstkotte explained on the blackboard two alternate routes; the one to
Carol Lane would need to be pumped which he did not recommend, the other on the
perimeter of the Stich property which would be more costly and a greater mainten-
ance problem.
Mr. Bohn, Counsel for the District, stated that when Mr. Wyler requested
condemnation, due to his inability to obtain an easement as proposed, this brought
the District into the problem.
He explained that the District will attempt to work out a settlement prior
to proceeding with condemnation.
After discussion, it was suggested that Mr. Strom, attorney for Mr. Stich
and Mr. Bohn, Counsel for the District, meet and attempt to resolve the problem.
APPLICATION FOR FEDERAL FUNDS FOR CANYON AREA
Board members discussed whether it was in the best interests of the District
to apply for federal funds for an assessment district of such small area.
It was pointed out that there had been no formal request from residents of
the area for annexation and sewers.
Mr. Horstkotte, General Manager-Chief Engineer, stated that a request through
the Board of Supervisors came for a cost estimate to serve the area, which was
given.
After discussion, it was determined to wait for formal request from residents
of the area prior to any further action on the part of the District.
