11. NEW BUSINESS:

a. Approve Salton Community Services District to continue the contract with Solar Bee.
Dan Cain, Salton Sea Authority project manager reported that the Salton Sea Authority has had a contract
with SolarBees to provide aerators for order abetment. There are currently three units located at the
fingers in Desert Shores. However, the Salton Sea Authority is in a funding crisis and will not be able to
renew the project; the project is scheduled to end in April 2006. Mr. Cain asked the board if the Salton
Community Services District would acquire the SolarBees permanently for Desert Shores or take over the
rental agreement. Based on the residents’ feedback the SolarBees have had a positive impact.
The total purchase costs for the three aerators would be $95,199.00; or a monthly rental rate of $3,575.00
including tax and all repairs..
The general manager reported that the cost to purchase the Solar Bees aerators would come from the
general fund, which at this time does not have the money. Perhaps at a later date we could schedule a
study session, and invite all property owners of that tract to see if they are interested in using channel
maintenance monies for this project. The legalities of using channel maintenance monies must be
determined before the money is spent.

Ms. Sandra Walker, representative to Solar Bees suggested that perhaps could extend the rental
period while deciding how to buy the aerators. The District could contact other agencies such as:
IID and CVWD and ask for enough money to purchase enough aerators for all locations.
She then asked that the board consider the $3,575.00 per month, which is the rental rate currently being
paid by the Salton Sea Authority.


A motion was made by Director Shirley Palmer and seconded by President Stanley Rouhe for purpose of
discussion, approving the Salton Community Services District to purchase the solar bees.
Motion did not pass on a 4 to 1 vote. (with Director Shirley Palmer voting yes)

A new motion was made by Director James Barrett and seconded by Director Robert Butler to reimburse
the Salton Sea Authority for the April, May and June, 2006 rental of the SolarBees at the stated cost of

NOTE: The board agreed that the money would derive from the general fund account.
NOTE: Mr. Ron Ensweiler executive director, stated that the Salton Sea Authority would continue paying for
the maintenance of the aerators.
