REGULAR BOARD MEETING MINUTES - APRIL 21, 1988 Page 3
Manager: Manager Cofer reported on
two items:
1) The State Water Resources Control
Board approved the District's Step 1
Grant Increase request;
2) He had read a recent article in
the Engineering News Record listing
the top 50 heavy construction con-
tractors in California. Kiewit Pac-
ific was listed as No. 2; and in the
top 400 in the Nation, Kiewit was
listed as No. 25.
Attorney: Attorney Weidman reported
on two items:
1) E1 Dorado County Water Agency
Tax Transfer Funds - He stated his
immediate involvement had been to
obtain tax funds for the current
fiscal year and the next fiscal
year, but didn't have much hope for
long term funds. Director Walker
added to the comments and stated
he felt the chances of getting the
funds for this year were negligible
and any future funds would be under
the direct control of the Water
Agency. Attorney Weidman was still
hopeful the District would receive
this year's tax transfer funds as
the allocations had not yet been
made.
Director Sinclair questioned
whether there was a legal pre-
cident to pursue these funds.
2) Other items Attorney Weidman
had been working on are the
Alpine County contracts, Land
acquisition in Alpine County,
the Emergency Retention Basin
Sealing project, and the Plant
Accommodation.
Program Managers:
Rich Tiran reported to the Board
on the District's surplus sale
and stated the amount received
from the sale was $8,400.
He also reviewed the District's
purchasing practices for this
year's chemicals.
