water quality issues due to nitrate contamination.
The County of Tulare owns and operates the Yettem water system built in 1995. In 2009, the County took over receivership of the Seville water system. Since then county officials, state agencies and stakeholders have been working to bring solutions in fixing the aged water systems. Funding for the Yettem-Seville Water System Improvement Project was provided through the State Water Resources Control Board.
Construction on the new water systems will commence in two phases, with Phase 1 set to be completed by the

end of this year. Phase 1 will replace the water distribution system in the community of Seville, include new smart water meters, and include a new water storage tank. The next phase of the project will provide a connection pipeline of both water systems. The project is estimated to cost $4 million to complete.
In November 2018, the voters approved Measure Y to form the Yettem-Seville Community Services District and the newly formed district will operate the new water systems once construction is complete.
Sentinel staff report
Dinuba Police Department arrests in the last week.
• Anthony Gonzalez, 25, of Dinuba was booked on Feb. 25 on suspicion of shoplifting, a misdemeanor.
According to police, he matched the description of a subject who allegedly stole two three-packs of Modelo beers from a store in the 600 block of North Alta Avenue. Officers made contact with him in the 300 block of East North Way. While on the scene, the reporting party positively identified him as the suspect.
He was placed under arrest and transported to the Dinuba Police Department for booking. He was later cited and released with a promise to appear in court.
• Jose Morales Murrieta, 29, of Dinuba was booked on Feb. 27 on suspicion of being under the influence of a controlled substance and obstructing a police officer, both misdemeanors.
Police say he was contacted in the 100 block of Randle Avenue during an investigation for an unkown subject taking off on officers on a four-wheeler. He was seen coming out of an alleyway approximately five minutes after the incident and appeared to be agitated and under the influence of a
about allowing sidewalk vendors into public events, such as parades and city events like the car shows. But the city’s attorney did not see any liability with not allowing such vendors within public events.
Ultimately, the council elected to table the ordinance to the Mar. 12 regular meeting, where they will act to adopt the ordinance or not.
In other council news:
• The council also heard from Robert Newby of the County of Tulare in regards to plans for the county to invest $2 million into modernizing the Dinuba Branch Library. The plan would include a new roof for the building, and possibly a new HVAC system. Upgrades would also include, but are not limited to, the bathrooms, plumbing, electrical and landscaping.
The Dinuba Branch Library was built in 1974 under a 50-year lease agreement between the city of Dinuba and the county. That agreement expires in the year 2024, and as part of the proposed renovation, the county is asking that the city either extend an additional 50-year lease or deed the library over to the county.
Also on hand for the informational item was Tulare County Librarian Darla Wegener. She stated that the renovation has been on the county’s radar for some time now and hopes the changes will better accommodate the library’s patrons. She said the county also plans to turn to the community to

get feedback as to how to better improve the library. “Once we get the go ahead... we will start doing community meetings throughout the city at your recommendation,” Wegener told the council. She also explained that the county will be coordinating with an architect to explore the structural options
for the building.
“I’m super excited,” added Wegener. “This is a
project that I’ve been looking forward to. This is one of the first major steps, is getting you on board and starting moving the wheels forward.”
Patlan added that the matter would be brought back to the council at a later date to either extend the lease or deed the property to the county.
“The staff would be in favor in deeding the property,” said Patlan. He explained that deeding the property over to the county would alleviate city workers for maintainance work and that the city has no other use for the property other than the need it already serves.
“And if they’re (the county) is going to be investing $2 million into modernizing the library it makes sense,” Patlan added.
• The City of Dinuba also allocated $20,000 from the 2018-2019 budget for the Dinuba Fire Department to purchase an unmanned aircraft, or drone. The money will also be used to train as many as three fire personnel to use the drone for day-to- day operations.
