Oral Communications from the Audience: GenCom General Manager Meadows reviewed previol 'GenCom's request to install a wireless telephone facility and tower at the si. of our twin tanks. (See minutes of September 16, 1981 , and October 23, 1981. Bob Meinzer of GenCom has contacted the residents who were concerned about thc effect of the facility on their TV and radio reception and has been negotiatil with them. Guy Moore (a resident in the area) has told our Manager that a1 1 of their objections have been addressed satisfactorily and they have no ob- jection to entering into a mutually beneficial arrangement involving GenCom, the residents and.the Water District. This involves improvements to the easement road (the District's pipeline easement) which the residents use as a street to get to their homes. There is an access problem there during rain: weather. The area to be paved is approximately 220' along a steep grade and will require contr'ibutions from GenCom and the residents, and a determination as to the District's participation. Our participation will be involved with the terms and conditions of the lease we work out with GenCom for their insta ation of the transmitter facility and tower on our site. Bob Meinzer concurred with the Manager's summary of the situation and express1 the hope that the Board would give conceptual approval that the District is willing to enter into a lease agreement with GenCom if they come through with their contribution toward paving the area referred to above.

General Manager: Operations: General Manager Meadows advised that th increased our allotment of water storage in San Vicente Reservoir to 1500 acr feet due to the new interruptible pricing program which has been instituted b the Metropolitan Water District.

The water in the San Vicente Reservoir has been placed within the SDCWA pool and they will act as pooling agent on behalf of all member agencies and will distribute the prorata rebates from Metropolitan The reason for' giving us 1500 acre feet is that agricultural water is auto- matically included in the interruptible category.
