He stated he had talked with the Dawson'B and they advised their appraisers had called them and did not have a figure as yet; they wanted to see the property once more. They advised it was possible they might have a figure by the next regular board meeting,but that after they do get a figure from their appraisers they might want to consult their legal counsel. After lengthy discussion it was decided the attorney should star^ condemnation proceed at once and thus end the delay in acquiring this property. The attorney advised the board the suit couldn't be filed by the next regular meeting date. To condemn property located outside of the District you have to get permission from the County Board of Supervisors. He advised he would write a letter to them and get on the board meeting the end of next week, and this would save some of the delay, and the board could always negotiate with the Dawson's if the Dawson's wanted to. The engineer showed the board a topographical map giving the actual dam site, and saic he felt they needed everything shown here, with exception might leave them the ridge providing there is good accessibility.

The board discussed whether this bond election and the bond election for Improvement District #3 could be combined in one package and it was decided this would not be feasible. President Kelly .stated he thought Improvement District #3 election could be put off UI after the election on the dam site and there would still be time to start Improvement . District #3.
