In view of the market conditions of materials and the possibility of lower prices pre- vailing within the next 4 or 5 years the que st i )n of a possible bank loan to tide the District over the next few years was dis- cussed and Attorney Chamberlain advised that he would look up the legal questions involved in a bank loan and advise the District in a few days. In view of the fact that no word had been re- ceived from L. Cedric Macabee, Consulting Engineer or his associate Mr. Dean Kingman, the Directors decided to take up the matter of the water problem as soon as they had received a de- tailed statement and a map of the proposed work from the engineers. Manager Edmunds reported on a meeting held at the Donner Lake Lodge called by the Donner Lake Development Co. to iron out any differ- ences regarding the annexation proceedings. He stated that there were some of those present who raised the question of free water service and advised that Mr. Emmons of the Donner Lake Development Co. had agreed to adjust the matter to their satisfaction over a period of five years. Approximately 28 residents of that area were present and all appeared to leave the meeting satisfied with the proceedure of the annexation, Chairman Loynd brought up the matter of t n e land desired by the Unified School District in Meadow Lake Park and after some dis- cussion it was moved and carried that an option of 2 years be given the Unified Sbhool District with the proviso that if a bond issue was carried to build a new high school at this site the land would be sold to the Unified School District at a price of $2000*00, Manager Edmunds reported that an opinion had been received from Attorney Chamberlain advising that the fiscal year for the District could be changed to end of June 30th of each year, which would per- mit of a closer audit of the books to be made. In view of the short period of time elapsing from the last audit submitted on March 26th, it was moved and carried that the District change its fiscal year to end on June 30th and that the next audit of the books be made as at June 30th , 19500 No further business appearing, Board adjourned, r .- I Z- 3 Ex-,Offi c io Secretary Pre idynt
