Finance officer:
Finance officer McFarlane reported she
had received more detailed information
re paying-off the state loan since the
Board had voted on June 17th and instruc-
ted her to borrow from the sewer
enterprise fund reserves to pay off the
loan. She felt this information was
significant and had, therefore, not made
the payment as instructed. She stated
she had discussed this with the G.M. and
the Finance Committee. The Finance Com-
mittee did not want to defy the prior
Board action and instructed McFarlane to
explain the new information to the whole
Board, ask the whole Board if they wanted
to leave the June 17th directions as
given, or completely reconsider the state
loan pay off at the next Board meeting
(July 15, 1993). After discussion, it
was the consensus of the Board to have
the Finance Officer pay off the State
Loan with Sewer Enterprise Fund monies.
Further, the Finance officer (as
preliminary information) would give the
Board the detail prepared by the Managers
of the projected 5-Year Plan done at
Budget time. The Board will study this
and other information in order to make
future decisions on whether or not to
pay off other high interest loans.
Attorney:
Attorney Sare stated:
1) CWC/HDR litigation court date was
bumped. He guessed the trial would be
delayed until September;
2) Planned to work on updating the
District Ordinances;
3) Noted the District had dodged the
tax transfer bullet. He and the G.M.
had worked very closely with other
Districts and State reps. to accomplish

this goal;
4) He was working on the rough draft
of the City Water Agreement;
5) He felt the District's position on
retaining the $1 Million from the tax-
grab from last year was stronger because
the State had not objected (so far) to
the District's multicounty status;
6) His staff is pursuing the Heavenly
Valley portion of Alpine County, ex-
clusively, for annexation for multi-
county status.
