B.     Comparative Groundwater Production and Allowable Extractions through
                              October 2018

                                     Recommendation:  No recommendation.


                              Mr. Blandon pointed out revised numbers. At the end of the year, all
                              four agencies will be adding to their storage accounts. Total extraction
                              through October was about 60 percent of available rights.


                          C.  Status Report on the Development of a Return Flow Methodology for
                              the Beaumont Basin

                                     Recommendation: No recommendation.

                              Mr. Ben Lewis with Thomas Harder and Company noted that after all
                              data is received the company will conduct an analysis to determine how
                              much of the water deliveries became return flow, and analyze lag time
                              between  water  applied  to  the  land  surface  percolating  through  the
                              subsurface  and  reaching  the  water  table.  This  is  expected  to  be
                              completed in February or March of 2019.

                              Mr. Jaggers pointed out Yucaipa should be clarified as the Yucaipa Valley
                              Water District on the slide.

                          D.  Discussion  Regarding  Task  Order  No.  18  with  ALDA  Inc.  for  the
                              Preparation of the 2018 Consolidated Annual Report, Estimate of the
                              Basin  Safe  Yield,  Update  of  the  Groundwater  Model,  and  Associated
                              Consulting services for 2019.


                                     Recommendation:    That  the  Watermaster  Committee  approve
                                     Task Order No 18 for a sum not to exceed $95,970.


                              Engineer  Blandon  reported  that  they  are  currently  working  on  Task
                              Order 15 for the engineering support services for 2019. This replaces
                              that task for the year 2019. The engineers will: prepare the 2018 annual
                              report,  estimate  of  basin  safe  yield  for  the  current  year,  update  the
                              model to 2018 conditions and provide support services throughout the
                              year. The consulting fee is the same as it has been for the last two years
                              and will stay fixed through 2021, Blandon pointed out.

                              Chairman  Vela  clarified  it  is  the  same  scope  of  work  for  the  same
                              amount.
