AZUSA EXPRESSING OPPOSITION TO ASSEMBLY BILL NO.
1569 RELATING TO MUNICIPAL WATER DISTRICTS.
WHEREAS, Assembly Bill No. 1569 of the 1971 Session of the
California Legislature sponsored by the San Gabriel Valley Municipal
Water District proposes to amend the Municipal Water District Law to
establish a procedure by which cities may use city funds to pay all or
any part of the Municipal Water District taxes levied upon properties
within the district which are also within the boundaries of the city,
and
WHEREAS, not all of the property within the City of Azusa
is within the San Gabriel Valley Municipal Water District and the use
of City funds to pay water district taxes would benefit certain tax-
payers of the City at the expense of other City taxpayers, and

government require that the agency which spends tax money levy and
collect the taxes required to raise that money under circumstances which
permit taxpayers to hold each agency of local government accountable
for the taxes which it levies and collects;

City of Azusa that the City Council finds that Assembly Bill No. 1569
of the 1971 Session of the California Legislature is not in the public
