AT 5950 EL CAMINO REAL, CARLSBAD, CALIFORNIA. The meeting was called to order at 2:02 p.m. by President Haasl with Directors Bonas, Henley, Maerkle and Woodward present. Also in attendance were Acting General Manager/Legal Counsel Moser, District Engineer Greaney, Superintendent Musser, Water Education Specialist Renyer and Executive Secretary Woodward.

Pledge of A1 legiance The Pledge of allegiance to the flag was given. Public Comment With Ms. Renyer acting as spokesperson, Julia Renyer, Bryan Troupe and Donald Moore, elected employee representatives, presented to the Board a letter approved by the majority of the employees, supporting Directors Bonas, Henley, Maerkle and Woodward in any action that might be required to stop Director Haasl's proposed takeover by the City of Carlsbad, Copies were given to everyone in attendance, Discussion and Action Relating to Conduct of Board President Removal of Susan Haasl from Director Maerkle made a motion the Board Presidency seconded by Director Henley, RESOLUTION NO. 563 approving Resolution No. 563, "RESOLUTION OF THE BOARD OF .DIRECTORS OF COSTA REAL MUNICIPAL WATER DISTRICT REMOVING SUSAN HAASL FROM THE OFFICE OF PRESIDENT OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS." Director Haasl asked for discussion. Director Woodward responded that he felt that, "the people in your area (Division 4) elected you to the Board of Directors of Costa Real Water District to promote the Water District and keep it the way it's going; this was the mandate to all Directors. For you (Director Haasl) to appear in the paper and say the things that you do; that you want the City (Carlsbad) to take over, you are no longer supporting the District and no longer supporting the people that elected you. For. that reason I can see no way that we can let you continue to guide Costa Real Water District." Both of Director Haasl's offers to resign the presidency if the Board would agree to do a joint study with the City, or let the public decide by putting the item on the ballot, were unaccept- able to the rest of the Board since, as Director Henley said, this has all been done before. The motion passed by roll call vote as follows: I I Ayes: Directors: Bonas, Henley, Maerkle and Woodward -1- January 27, 1988 Noes: Directors: Haasl Absent: Directors: None I Discussion followed as to whether this would remove Director Haasl from all committees or representation of Costa Real at outside groups. Legal Counsel suggested appointment of a new president before these changes can be made. Appointment of New President Director Maerkle then made a RESOLUTION NO. 564 motion approving Resolution No. 564, "RESOLUTION OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF COSTA REAL MUNICIPAL WATER DISTRICT APPOINTING DIRECTOR MARGARET BONAS CHAIRPERSON FOR THE BALANCE OF THE YEAR 1988,'' seconded by Director Henley. The motion passed by roll call vote as follows: Ayes: Directors: Henley, Maerkle, Woodward and Bonas Noes: Directors: Haasl Absent: Directors: None Discussion followed again as to how to remove Director Haasl from all committees and representation at outside groups. Legal Counsel advised that the Board can supersede our Administrative Code policy of having the President make the appointments by approval of a resolution. President Bonas said she would like to have the opportunity to review the committees and appointments; there will be changes. She asked the. Board to let her know what .they would like to be on and expressed the need for a joint committee with the City, President Bonas then thanked the Board for their vote of confidence. Director Woodward then had copies distributed of a draft letter to the City of Carlsbad expressing the feelings of the majority of the Board. This will be on the agenda of the next Board meeting. Director Maerkle made a motion that the Board hire an independent firm of accountants to have a complete audit. Mr. Moser said he I . would place this on the next agenda.
