Special Districts Administrator Mark Dellinger will take the loan request to the board at 10:45 a.m.

Dellinger's report notes that County Service Area 16 – Paradise Valley – has been under an urgency ordinance and connection moratorium for several years due to inadequate ground water supply.

The homeowners association invested its own funds to drill at third well, which was completed and tested, but a pipeline to connect the well to the system failed.
