74-22) that was prepared in accordance with the instructions
of the Board at its September 11, 1974 meeting. The resolu-
tion would amend the Policy for the Duplication and Dissemina-
tion of Agendas, Supporting Materials , and Other Records of
the District to provide for the distribution of informational

V. WRITTEN COMMUNICATIONS
N. Hanko referred the Board to a memorandum (M-74-130) dated
September 19, 1974 from H. Grench, General Manager, regarding
a letter received by the District from the County of Santa
Clara regarding the 1975 census. She stated that every two
years the District must use the latest available census fig-
ures to determine its ward boundaries, and she asked S. Norton,
legal counsel for the District, for a legal opinion on the
District' s situation in the event a city within the County
refused to take part in the census. S. Norton replied that
the District could not take any legal action to compel any
city to participate in a County census . Any effect on the
District of such a failure to participate would probably be
minimal, he said. In answer to a question from D. Wendin,
he stated that the District is required to redistrict if
necessary after a ten-year census.
VI . CLAIMS
Motion: D. Wendin moved acceptance of the revised claims
(C-74-20) dated September 25, 1974 (copy attached) ,

motion passed unanimously.
B. Green expressed her appreciation to Leslie Salt Company
for the tour they had held on Tuesday, September 24 , saying
that she found it a highly interesting tour. Other Board
members who also attended the tour concurred.
