OLD BUSINESS
CORRESPONDENCE FROM SIDNEY J. WEBB
Letter from Sidney J. Webb, requesting time to discuss the District's
Annual Audit and requesting that the Minutes of each Board meeting be mailed
to him, was read.
The Board Members granted Mr. Webb's request to have the Minutes mailed
to him.
Mr. Webb discussed with the Board Members certain items in the annual
"Report of Audit", and suggested that the auditor for the annual audit be
changed periodically.
MARTINEZ ANNEXATION
Mr. Horstkotte, General Manager-Chief Engineer, stated that the Board
Members had been sent a memorandum setting forth a formula which established
a basis for the City of Martinez' fair share of construction cost after
annexation and an amount over and above its fair share to be rebated to the
City from watershed charges, along with the District, for recovery of funds
advanced.
The City's fair share and the rebate procedures were discussed with Mr.
Monson, City Manager of Martinez.
Mr. Monson made an effort to get the District to commit more funds than
the present Agreement calls for. Board Members explained why the District was
not in a position to advance more funds after the failure of the 1967 annexation
election.
Member Boneysteele stated that he had made a study of the City of Martinez
annexation and discussed his findings with the Board Members.
