DOLLAR BOND ISSUE
The City Council of the City of Azusa does resolve
as follows:
WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of the San Gabriel
Valley Municipal Water District on January 8, 1969, proposed
to submit to the electorate a 14 million dollar bond issue for
construction of a proposed pipeline for importation of supple-
mental water; and
WHEREAS, said proposal was defeated by a 3 to 2
vote of said Board of Directors; and
WHEREAS, such proposal continues in controversy and
is scheduled for further discussion in ensuing weeks; and
WHEREAS, the City of Alhambra on behalf of its
electorate has adopted a resolution urging support for such
bond issue; and
WHEREAS, it is appropriate at this time for the City
Council of the City of Azusa to express its position with regard
thereto; and
WHEREAS, there remains at issue serious unresolved
questions regarding the necessity for and propriety of such
proposed pipeline construction, including:
a) the quantity of supplemental water that is
required;
b) the appropriate time for delivery of such
supplemental water;
c) the propriety of constructing a new pipeline
parallel to an adequate MWD pipeline;
d) the capacity of the existing Board to resolve
the complex issues of providing supplemental
water, so long as dissension and disagreement
continues on said Board; and
e) the lack at this time of any basin management
agreement or adjudication to resolve such
issues as underground storage rights, pumping
rights and export rights; and
WHEREAS, this City Council feels, on the basis of such
unresolved issues, that the commitment to any course of action
is premature and inappropriate.
