63-0104WHEREAS, Assembly Bill No. 28 would be a legislative
mandate compelling local agencies to enter into a contract not
deemed by them to be mutually beneficial but designed for the
primary benefit of only one party, to wit, the San Bernardino
Valley Municipal Water District; and
WHEREAS, such attempted legislative mandate would be
an unwarranted invasion into home rule; and
WHEREAS, the San Bernardino Valley Municipal Water
District has an adequate and proper method of relieving its
water situation by joining the Metropolitan Water District; and
WHEREAS, the voters of the San Bernardino Valley
Municipal Water District have elected not to join the Metropolitan
Water District and relieve their water situation,such action is
a mandate of the people to accept the reduction in available
water; and
WHEREAS, Assembly Bill No. 28 would in effect provide
the facilities of the Metropolitan Water District to the use
of the San Bernardino Valley Municipal Water District without
their joining and participating in the Metropolitan Water District
in violation of the terms of the Metropolitan Water District Act
and as such would operate as an unfair and unjust enrichment to
the San Bernardino Valley Municipal Water District, a non member
of the Metropolitan Water District,to the detriment of all
members of the Metropolitan Water District.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of
the City of Anaheim does hereby express its unequivocal opposi-
tion to Assembly Bill No. 28 and does respectfully request that
the California Legislature vote solidly in opposition to this
measure or any modification thereof.
