of paving Faulhorn and Fiden Court with the District's
paving machine. He
expects to receive approval from the county to do this. Hood Corporation has provided the District with a proposal to
pave Dart Canyon Road and Crest Forest Drive.
Their proposal is for $.45 per lineal foot. The District is expecting a proposal from Kanayan
Construction. Their
proposal could save the District about $5,000 on Dart
Canyon Road.

There are some questions regarding some of the
permit provisions. Work should begin on this job in about two weeks.

REQUEST
FOR ADJUSTMENT TO CLOSING BILL FOR FORMER TENANT, CHERYL

The Board reviewed a letter from Mrs. Dieter requesting

their former tenants, Carol and Edward Gonzales.
The District's Rules and Regulations for Water
Service, the Application for Water Service signed by Mr.
and Mrs. Dieter, and the letters sent to Mr. and Mrs.
Dieter regarding their tenants are very clear about the

tenants. After

Mrs. Dieter's request.
