GO C7 CITY HALL AZUSA, CALIFORNIA TUESDAY, MARCH 19, 1963 The City Council of the City of Azusa met in adjourned session at the above time and place. Mayor Ortuno called the meeting to order. Present at Roll Call: Councilmen- Memmesheimer, Cooney, McLees, Ortuno Absent: Councilmen: Jackson Also Present: City Clerk Miller Councilman Mernmesheimer presented the matter of establishing stand with regard to the water policy the City should adopt, and requested the Council to make a decision as to what action should be taken by Director Cornelius Reed at the Board of Directors meeting of the San Gabriel Valley Municipal Water District. At the present time there is an apparent deadlock among the Cities of the San Gabriel Valley Municipal Water District with respect to annexing to the Metropolitan Water District - two votes to join the Metropolitan Water District, and two votes to continue with the present San Gabriel Valley Municipal Water District. It was noted that West Covina has asked permission to join the Metropolitan Water District through the Pomona Valley District, thereby making the distance of trunk lines considerably shorter. ' The Metropolitan Water District has two meetings scheduled - one on March 25, 1963 and the second for April 2, 1963 - at which time it will be determined as to whether the San Gabriel Valley Municipal Water District will be permitted to join the Metropolitan Water District under the Historical formula or under the Carroll formula. If the City is accepted, the Historical formula would be preferred, other- wise, it would be annexed under the Carroll formula, in either case the next move would be to call an election and disband the present water district. Following further discussion, it was moved by Councilman Cooney, seconded by Councilman McLees and unanimously carried that we instruct Director Reed that, at the meeting of the Board of Directors of the Water District to vote to establish a policy to consider proposals by the Metropolitan Water District and meet with the Metropolitan Water District at a meeting, either March 25th or April 2nd, to discuss the possibility and method of joining. Meeting adjourned for executive session. Time of adjournment: 8:20 P. M. '- City Clerk 327 7:30 P.M. Call to Order Roll Call a Water Policy Adjourn 1 � 329.
