completed by his firm at the pro-
duction well sites (Bijou School
& Middle SChool) and the test well
sites: A1 Tahoe, Sunset & the

site.
2) Install a test well at Golf
Course site.
3) Add a test well at the Highland
Woods site.
4) Establish a budget for water
quality testing.
After staff completed their report
covering the related costs connected
to the production wells & test well
sites, the Board discussed the various
costs & options and voted as follows:
Moved Onysko/Second Sinclair/Passed
Unanimously to approve Beylik Change
Order No.2 to drill a new production
well at the Sunset site for the esti-
mated cost of $115,000 contingent on
the test results.

Voted Yes to discontinue drilling at
the A1 Tahoe test well site.

rigs move to the A1 Tahoe site as
soon as they had completed their
work at the Sunset test well site.

with this move: $10,000 had

compared to the locations of
the District's present production

The Geologist's findings were
taken into consideration by staff

to dispose of the test dredgings,
the size of the lot (to accommo-

mendations to the Board.
