LAST LEW NOTE:  FOR THOSE OF YOU ABLE TO DOWNLOAD OR VIEW THIS VIOLATION NOTICE IN THE AGENDA PACKET ON THE LDPCSD WEBSITE, PLEASE NOTICE THAT PETE KAMPA DID NOT PLACE THE STATE WATER BOARD PREPARED MAP (ABOVE) WITH THE OTHER PAGES OF THAT VIOLATION NOTICE, BUT RATHER, PLACED THAT STATE MAP BETWEEN TWO PAGES OF HIS PROPOSED MAPPING PROJECT INFORMATION WHICH UNDOUBTEDLY SOME MISTAKENLY BELIEVED WAS THE MAPPING RESULT BEING DISCUSSED.  TYPICAL KAMPA.  I ALSO BELIEVE THERE ARE SOME MISTAKES ON THE ABOVE MAP AND HAVE REPORTED SUCH TO THE SWRCB.

***********************************************************************

Attached is Board Package (of paper) for the meeting tomorrow at 1 pm.  Hope you gather your neighbors and

Have a “tail gate” party at the CSD, watch the action at 1 pm.         Pre-meeting comments by Wes:

Agenda item 5.a.      …….Notice of Violation issued by State Water Resources Control Board, Div Wtr Rights……

[This violation has nothing to do with “local state high risk audit” and 2 accounting/audit claims currently in process]

GM Kampa (GM) obviously is answering by spending more consulting money and “doubling down” on expanding

Water use outside of the Districts legal obligation under the State/MID water license/agreements.  Board also has

A Policy restricting “new outside of place” water expansion.  Intent obviously of the grants leading to the drilling

Of wells was for this communities emergency needs not GM and “outside ‘fat cats’” special interest.   GM left

Public employment from McCloud, CA, Sonora, CA, (and probably Los Osos, CA) under  an unfavorable “cloud”

Related to “wheeling and dealing” with the communities’ resources.  [AS documented in said cities news media.]

It appears that GM is following his “normal” pattern possibly hand-in-hand with special interest again attempting

To “rape” LDP community.     Before allowing this “agenda item”, please consider:

1)      This development has 16-1700 lots available to development (over ½) within the original development.

2)      CSD documents show:    year 2005 actual sales volume 220700 ccf (CSD billing units)

                                                 Year 2013 actual sales volume 190600 ccf  (before declared drought: used as base by CA)

                                                 Year 2018 plan     sales volume 132700 ccf

3)      GM recently presented to the Board:   current district population is 2700; 2060 is estimated to be 2910

(will grow 210 people, 109 households next 40 years.  Next to no growth expected.)

4)      As part of “emergency water” study in 2015 by Binkley Engineers (CSD’s life time engineers), determined

First well drilled in 1992 will currently produce at 70 gallons per minutes(gpm); halved for limiting risk to

35gpm.  This translates into 2048 ccf per month [4.7 acre feet(AF)] water production (probably much more).

5)      Using 9 months, 2017 plus 3 months, 2016 current outside place of use volume is 565ccf  per mo

[1.3 AF per mo]           Highest volume month was 1033ccf [2.4 AF].    Decidedly within capacity of original well.

Conclusion:  Per GM, nearly no growth next 40 years and maximum demand (use)  within capacity of original

Well’s capacity to supply.      WHY IN THE “HELL’ DO WE NEED TO INVOLVE THE CURRENT  EMERGENCY WELLS IN A

GM/SPECIAL INTEREST SCHEME ?        Continue to reserve the emergency well water for its intended purpose.

SWRCB plan to include: a)No new “out of place(OPU)” users nor new activities of old users.  Total well use for

                                                   OPU not to exceed original well current capacity.

                                               b)Digitizing plan for required maps only; no ongoing activity: periodic upgrade.  Cost

                                                   not known apx $20-45k plan.   (New fake maps probably would be fraud!)

                                               c)Currently, CSD pays office and CPA in excess of $145k per year for this little business;

                                                   can sure as hell keep up with our limited OPU activities.

Second comment, as to the attempt of this Board/GM to reject the current policy of no new “out of place” users,

Came in the first month (apx) of using the new wells for emergency water for this CSD’s consumption.  The Board

Again voted the new wells to be Emergency Only for the contractual, legal customers of CSD, excluding any new

“out of place use possibilities.

CSD can meet the “violation” requirements within CSD current capacity; DON’T NEED MORE PAGES (& B S), WASTED

MONEY, JOBS FOR CONSULTANTS & OTHER CHRONIES THAT THIS COMMUNITY/CSD HAS PUT UP WITH  FOR OVER

THREE YEARS.                                                                       JUST STOP IT NOW !!!!!!!!!!!!

5. b.c.d.e will discuss together for the intent is to focus on OPU, hire consultants and other cronies, and scatter

Red herrings to cover inability to lead, manage, plan and carryout responsibility of Board (and GM).  Spending CSD

Money and plan for increases is the “icing on the cake”.  Changes to budget include:

a)      Not buying one new truck; interpret limit employees and required work.  Hire more outsiders.

b)      Reduce main replace from 60k feet to 40k because of many leaks; interpret continuing leaks with limited

Employees (above) and hire more outsiders.

c)       Defer connection fee study $15k.  Head off fights with the RE people as related to availability fees and

Raise the $53/monthly fee that water users pay monthly and the vacant lot cost.  Continue to spend

Down any cash remaining after depleting $1.6 million reserves from increasing overall rates by 100 %

5 years ago.  (Watch them, probably can eliminate the 3 acre rule on vacant lots.)

d)      Barge plans, rebuilt in 2010-11 @$45k; rebuilt in 2014-16@$135k; rebuild plan in 2017-18 @$52k for

Twin lakes and some unknown by me amount for KJ engineers.   (CSD received $60.9k grant revenue

Supposedly related to Barge but last year CPA/auditor didn’t define (I don’t know?).

Other CSD Board (and GM) comments concerning budget for the new year:

1)      Hiring for an operations mgr who reports to GM and has operations super reporting to him.  Operations

Supervisor will have 1 employee reporting to him.  YES, RIGHT  1 BOSS w/1 SUBORDINATE w/1 SUBORDINATE

With 1 WORKER.       Office similar, 1 boss w/1boss w/1 pt worker.  This is only matched by the Board giving the

GM the power to select vendors, what is bought at what price, receive and sign checks.  CSD just rehired the

Same In-house CPA/Auditor.    They claim they see no financial control issue with this scenario.  (We should,

Very soon, know about recent acctg/audits.)   Current acctg/office staff pay budget is $145k; operations

        Staff budget @$183k, auditor $8.8k.     Have no idea what the 3^rd party maintenance and repair, capital

       Projects, etc. will cost in the end.  (Remember CSD organization above boss over boss over boss + 1 worker;

       3^rd month of the year and each month major to significant changes in plan;  but I’m sure it will be many

       Hundreds of thousands of dollars.)  Additionally, last two years we have had “emergency projects”

       Guided by GM, rubber stamped by board that will run $2 to2.5 million dollars net of Grants (maybe)

       $1.3million.  (Grant income includes over $300k from USDA, not received though GM claimed originally

       In January 2017 that it was around the corner.  It appears that maybe USDA is as confused as I am when I

       Listen to this Board (and GM) tell me how good it is going to be.  My estimate of 3 wells with arsenic and

       17 acres of grazing land will require $700k from CSD’s reserves if all grants are paid.

Ps  sorry for grammer, etc, out of time to clean-up; going to the saloon for dinner with wife and kids
