In the Superior Court of the State of California in and for the County of Fresno

NOTICE TO ALL PERSONS INTERESTED IN THE MATTER OF (AVISO PARA TODAS PERSONAS INTERESADOS EN EL ASUNTO DE): THE CONTRACTS BETWEEN THE UNITED STATES AND WESTLANDS WATER DISTRICT DISTRIBUTION DISTRICT NO. 1 PROVIDING FOR PROJECT WATER SERVICE AND FACILITIES REPAYMENT.

This matter concerns the contracts between the United States and Westlands Water District Distribution District No. 1 (“DD1”) providing for Central Valley Project water service and facilities repayment, which the DD1 Board of Directors, on January 21, 2020, authorized for execution and delivery, in substantially the form presented to it, as set forth in Resolution Nos. 101-20, 102-20, 103-20, and 104-20 (“Repayment Contracts”).

The specific Repayment Contracts, as executed by DD1, are:  (1) Contract No. 14-06-200-3365AB-IR5-P, entitled “Contract Between the United States and Santa Clara Valley Water District and Westlands Water District Distribution District No. 1 Providing for Project Water Service and Facilities Repayment,” based upon the water assigned under the agreement for partial assignment between DD1, Mercy Springs Water District, Santa Clara Valley Water District and Pajaro Valley Water Management Agency and the United States and the subject of Resolution No. 101-20 (said contract was fully executed as of June 29, 2020); (2) Contract No. 7-07-20-W0055-IR8-B, entitled “Contract Between the United States and Westlands Water District Distribution District No. 1 Providing for Project Water Service and Facilities Repayment,” based upon the water assigned under the assignment agreement between DD1, Centinella Water District and the United States and the subject of Resolution No. 102-20 (said contract was fully executed as of May 29, 2020); (3) Contract No. 14-06-200-8018B-IR5-P, entitled “Contract Between the United States and Westlands Water District Distribution District No. 1 Providing for Project Water Service and Facilities Repayment,” based upon the water assigned under the assignment agreement between DD1, Widren Water District and the United States and the subject of Resolution No. 103-20 (said contract was fully executed as of May 29, 2020); and (4) Contract No. 14-06-200-8092-IR5, entitled “Contract Between the United States and Westlands Water District Distribution District No. 1 Providing for Project Water Service and Facilities Repayment,” based upon water assigned under the assignment agreement between DD1, Broadview Water District and the United States and the subject of Resolution No. 104-20 (said contract was fully executed as of May 29, 2020).

DD1 seeks a judicial decree, pursuant to California Code of Civil Procedure section 860, et seq., determining that the proceedings on the part of DD1 for the authorization of the execution of the Repayment Contracts were in all respects legal and valid under applicable California law.

All persons interested in this matter may contest the legality or validity of the proceedings by appearing and filing a written answer to the complaint not later than January 6, 2021. Unless you respond timely, a default will be entered upon application by the Plaintiff, and the Plaintiff may apply to the Court for the relief demanded in the complaint. Persons who contest the legality or validity of the proceedings will not be subject to punitive action, such as wage garnishment or seizure of their real or personal property. You may seek the advice of an attorney in any matter connected with the complaint or this summons. Such attorney should be consulted promptly so that your pleading may be filed or entered within the time required by this summons.

DETAILED SUMMARY OF THE MATTER THAT PLAINTIFF SEEKS TO VALIDATE:

DD1 previously acquired by assignment certain rights to Central Valley Project water.  The specific agreements which effected the assignments are:  (a) a May 14, 1999, partial assignment agreement between DD1, Mercy Springs Water District, Santa Clara Valley Water District and Pajaro Valley Water Management Agency and the United States  based upon Mercy Springs Water District’s water service contract; (b) a November 9, 2004, assignment agreement between DD1, Centinella Water District and the United States based upon Centinella Water District’s water service contract; (c) a May 27, 2005, assignment agreement between DD1, Widren Water District and the United States based upon Widren Water District’s water service contract; and (d) a March 1, 2007, assignment agreement between DD1, Broadview Water District and the United States based upon  Broadview Water District’s water service contract.

DD1 and the United States subsequently entered into interim renewal contracts which renewed DD1’s rights acquired through the assignment agreements.  The last interim renewal contracts were:  (a) Contract No. 14-06-200-3365A-IR17-B based upon the Mercy Springs Water District assignment; (b) Contract No. 07-07-20-W0055-IR17-B based upon the Centinella Water District assignment; (c) Contract No. 14-06-200-8018-IR17-B based upon the Widren Water District assignment; and (d) Contract No. 14-06-200-8092-IR17 based upon the Broadview Water District assignment (collectively “Last Interim Renewal Contracts”).

On December 16, 2016, the 114th Congress of the United States of America enacted the Water Infrastructure Improvements for the Nation Act (Pub. L. 114-322, 130 Stat. 1628) (“WIIN Act”). Section 4011(a)(1) of the WIIN Act provides that: “upon request of the contractor, the Secretary of the Interior shall convert any water service contract in effect on the date of enactment of this subtitle and between the United States and a water users’ association [Contractor] to allow for prepayment of the repayment contract pursuant to paragraph (2) under mutually agreeable terms and conditions.”

Pursuant to and consistent with the WIIN Act, and upon DD1’s request, the United States and DD1 negotiated terms and conditions that convert the Last Interim Renewal Contracts to repayment contracts, and those terms and conditions are reflected in the Repayment Contracts. The Repayment Contracts also reflect the current standard terms and conditions required by the Reclamation Manual and continue water service to DD1 in the same scope and nature of the ongoing Central Valley Project and its existing facilities.

Under the Repayment Contracts, ongoing receipt and delivery of water to DD1 will continue with no expansion of service and no new facilities constructed because DD1 will deliver the water received under the Repayment Contracts: (1) to lands within DD1’s boundaries for beneficial use and that have been in production, and (2) through existing facilities.

Although the specific terms of the Repayment Contracts are set forth within their text, the following highlight some of the changes made:

            (a)        superfluous recitals in the Last Interim Renewal Contracts were deleted and new recitals were added to explain the basis for the conversion;

            (b)        definitions were: (i) added to reflect new provisions required to convert the Last Interim Renewal Contracts to repayment contracts, and (ii) modified to reflect requirements of the Reclamation Manual;

            (c)        the terms of the Last Interim Renewal Contracts were deleted and new text added that provide a new effective date, and for the contracts to continue so long as certain conditions are met;

            (d)       provisions related to rates, method of payment and repayment were deleted, revised and supplemented to reflect the payment obligation and mandates of the WIIN Act; and

            (e)        provisions were deleted, revised and supplemented to reflect text mandated by the Reclamation Manual.

Article 46 of the Repayment Contracts require DD1 to provide “a certified copy of a final decree of a court of competent jurisdiction in the State of  California, confirming the proceedings on the part of the Contractor for the authorization of the execution of this amended Contract.”

DD1 reviewed the terms and conditions of the Repayment Contracts and found the form and content thereof to be acceptable to DD1 and appropriate for execution in substantially the form presented to the DD1 Board of Directors. Such terms and conditions are consistent with DD1’s powers and authority under California law. Consequently, on January 21, 2020, at a duly noticed and regular meeting of the DD1’s Board of Directors, the Board of Directors adopted Resolution Nos. 101-20, 102-20, 103-20, and 104-20 for the purpose of authorizing the approval and the execution of the Repayment Contracts (collectively “Resolutions”). Through the Resolutions, the Board of Directors approved the Repayment Contracts in substantially the form presented to the Board of Directors, found execution of the Repayment Contracts was statutorily and categorically exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act, and authorized DD1’s President to execute the Repayment Contracts, in substantially the form presented to the Board of Directors, with such additional changes and/or modifications as are approved by the President of DD1, its General Manager and its General Counsel.  As noted herein, each of the Repayment Contracts has now been fully executed.

DD1 therefore seeks a judicial decree, pursuant to Code of Civil Procedure section 860, et seq., determining the proceedings on the part of DD1 for the authorization of the execution of the Repayment Contracts were in all respects legal and valid under applicable California law.

Copies of DD1’s Resolution Nos. 101-20, 102-20, 103-20, and 104-20, the Repayment Contracts as approved pursuant to the Resolutions, and as fully executed, and the proposed judgment may be obtained upon request by telephoning (559) 241-6215 and may also be viewed on the Westlands Water District’s website at www.wwd.ca.gov.

NOTICE TO ALL PERSONS INTERESTED IN THE MATTER OF (AVISO PARA TODAS PERSONAS INTERESADOS EN EL ASUNTO DE): THE CONTRACTS BETWEEN THE UNITED STATES AND WESTLANDS WATER DISTRICT DISTRIBUTION DISTRICT NO. 2 PROVIDING FOR PROJECT WATER SERVICE AND FACILITIES REPAYMENT.

This matter concerns the Contracts Between the United States and Westlands Water District Distribution District No. 2 (“DD2”) providing for Central Valley Project water service and facilities repayment, which the DD2 Board of Directors, on January 21, 2020, authorized for execution and delivery, in substantially the form presented to it, as set forth in Resolution No. 101-20 (“Repayment Contract”).

The specific Repayment Contract is:  Contract No. 14-06-200-3365AC-IR5-P, entitled “Contract Between the United States and Westlands Water District Distribution District No. 2 Providing for Project Water Service and Facilities Repayment,” based upon the water assigned under the agreement for partial assignment between the District, Mercy Springs Water District and the United States and the subject of Resolution No. 101-20 (said contract was fully executed as of May 29, 2020).

DD2 seeks a judicial decree, pursuant to California Code of Civil Procedure section 860, et seq., determining that the proceedings on the part of the DD2 for the authorization of the execution of the Converted Contract were in all respects legal and valid under applicable California law.

All persons interested in this matter may contest the legality or validity of the proceedings by appearing and filing a written answer to the complaint not later than January 6, 2021. Unless you respond timely, a default will be entered upon application by the Plaintiff, and the Plaintiff may apply to the Court for the relief demanded in the complaint.

Such attorney should be consulted promptly so that your pleading may be filed or entered within the time required by this summons.

DETAILED SUMMARY OF THE MATTER THAT PLAINTIFF SEEKS TO VALIDATE:

DD2 previously acquired by assignment certain rights to Central Valley Project water.  The specific agreement which effected the assignment is a March 2, 2004, partial assignment agreement between DD2, Mercy Springs Water District, and the United States based upon Mercy Springs Water District’s water service contract.

DD2 and the United States subsequently entered into interim renewal contracts which renewed the DD2’s rights acquired through the assignment agreement.  The last interim renewal contract was Contract No. 14-06-200-3365A-IR17-C based upon the Mercy Springs Water District assignment (“Last Interim Renewal Contract”).

On December 16, 2016, the 114th Congress of the United States of America enacted the Water Infrastructure Improvements for the Nation Act (Pub. L. 114-322, 130 Stat. 1628) (“WIIN Act”).

Pursuant to and consistent with the WIIN Act, and upon the DD2’s request, the United States and DD2 negotiated terms and conditions that convert the Last Interim Renewal Contract to a repayment contract, and those terms and conditions are reflected in the Repayment Contract. The Repayment Contract also reflects the current standard terms and conditions required by the Reclamation Manual, and continues water service to DD2 in the same scope and nature of the ongoing Central Valley Project and its existing facilities.

Although the specific terms of the Repayment Contract are set forth within its text, the following highlight some of the changes made:

            (a)        superfluous recitals in the Last Interim Renewal Contract were deleted and new recitals were added to explain the basis for the conversion;

            (b)        definitions were: (i) added to reflect new provisions required to convert the Last Interim Renewal Contract to a repayment contract, and (ii) modified to reflect requirements of the Reclamation Manual;

            (e)        provisions were deleted, revised and supplemented to reflect text mandated by the Reclamation Manual.

Article 46 of the Converted Contract requires DD2 to provide “a certified copy of a final decree of a court of competent jurisdiction in the State of California, confirming the proceedings on the part of the Contractor for the authorization of the execution of this amended Contract.”

To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, contingent creditors, and persons who may otherwise be interested in the will or estate, or both, of James Hardge

A Petition for Probate has been filed by Katrina Smith in the Superior Court of California, County of FRESNO.

The Petition for Probate requests that Katrina Smith be appointed as personal representative to administer the estate of the decedent.

The petition requests the decedent’s will and codicils, if any, be admitted to probate. The will and any codicils are available for examination in the file kept by the court.

The petition requests authority to administer the estate under the Independent Administration of Estates Act. (This authority will allow the personal representative to take many actions without obtaining court approval. Before taking certain very important actions, however, the personal representative will be required to give notice to interested persons unless they have waived notice or consented to the proposed action.) The independent administration authority will be granted unless an interested person files an objection to the petition and shows good cause why the court should not grant the authority.

A hearing on the petition will be held in this court as follows:

December 16, 2020, 9:00 A.M., Dept.: 303

1130 “O” Street, 3rd Floor – Dept. 303

If you object to the granting of the petition, you should appear at the hearing and state your objections or file written objections with the court before the hearing. Your appearance may be in person or by your attorney.

If you are a creditor or a contingent creditor of the decedent, you must file your claim with the court and mail a copy to the personal representative appointed by the court within the later of either (1) four months from the date of first issuance of letters to a general personal representative, as defined in section 58(b) of the California Probate Code, or (2) 60 days from the date of mailing or personal delivery to you of a notice under section 9052 of the California Probate Code. Other California statutes and legal authority may affect your rights as a creditor. You may want to consult with an attorney knowledgeable in California law.

You may examine the file kept by the court. If you are a person interested in the estate, you may file with the court a Request for Special Notice (form DE-154) of the filing of an inventory and appraisal of estate assets or of any petition or account as provided in Probate Code section 1250.
