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.

estimated cost of the pertinent portion of this secondary'high-
way (80 ft. Right -of -Way) is $60318, and the comparable portions
of a.normal city street (60 ft. Right -of -Way) is $2,208, or a
