RESOLUTION NO. 10,562, #RESO. T QN APPROVING JOINT POWERS AGREEMENT CREAT-
ING THE SWE TTWATBR AUTHORITY,," Ci tY Attorney McLean said the City of
National City and the South Bay Irrigation District were presently members
of a joint powers venture by virtue of a Joint Powers Agreement of 1969;
they are condemning the water properties of the California -American Water
Co. in their district under that agreement; it appears to be in the best
interest of the City and the South Bay Irrigation District that the proper-
ties be owned and operated by a single public a9ency to accomplish the economy of operation and efficiency of operation desired by the Council
and
�`
the South Bay Board; legislation recently adopted at the urging of the
City and the South Bay Board allows a single vote of the people across the
entire district of National City and South Bay for the purpose of authorizing
revenue bonds #o fund the acquisition of the water properties in question;
to take advantage of this legislation and to take advantage of the opportunity
for the economies related to operating these properties through a single
entity, he had in conjunction with the attorneys for the South Bay Board
and the management staffs of the City and South Bay Board drafted a new
joint powers agreement which was entitled "Joint Powers Agreement of 1972;"
this Joint Powers Agreement creates a new public agency entitled the Sweet-
water Agency; the Sweetwater Agency would exist for the sole purpose of
owning and operating the water properties which the City was now condemning;
the Sweetwater Agency would have the power after an election by the people
to issue revenue bonds to fund the acquisition and operation of the water
properties in question; the Sweetwater Agency would have a Board of Directors
of 7 members; 5 would be nominated by the South Bay Irrigation District and
2 by the City of National City; this Board of Directors would operate the
property, levy the rates for water, collect the revenues, pay the bonds and
take the other actions necessary to provide modern municipal water service;
in discussing the proposition of membership on the Board of Directors of the
Sweetwater Autrity at the staff level, it occurred to him that one of the
delegates from the City of National City should be a management person
during the initial phase ofthe operations of the water properties; the
thought occurred to him that Mx. osburn who was no* the City's delegate to
the County Water Authority would be the logical City management person to
represent the City on this board; it also appeared logical to him that the
other member of this board would be a representative of the City Council
and he would assume that the Council would want to name the Mayor as its
representative; he had before him now the resolution which he would read.
Moved by Hogue, seconded by Camacho, Resolution No 10 562 be ado tad.
There was discussion. CHARLES MICONE 440 Plaza Blv .0 was present and
said the attorney for the City the way he explains the whole situation here
the only thing the citizens have was for them to go ahead and vote for the
water, to condemn or not to condemn it; other than that, they had nothing
else to say as it seemed like the City Council was going to elect the
Board of Directors, they were going to make all the decisions on who was
going to be on the Sweetwater Authority, etc. Carried by unanimous vote.

Authority, Moved b Waters,seconde by Hogue, the Ma or's recommendation

be approved. Carried by unanimous vote. City Attorney McLean said the
Board of Directors of the South Bay Irrigation District intend to meet
tomorrow evening when their entire board can be present to vote on this and
to ask to have the first meeting of the directors of the Sweetwater Author-
ities in these chambers Friday afternoon at 4:00 p m. so that t hose persons
could be inducted into office.
CITY ATTORNEY McLEAN said in regard to the proposed Senior Citizens Resi-
dential Center; sometime ago the Council voted to proceed with the appropriate
legal planning for. a Senior Citizen Center operated by a non-profit corpor-
ation which would lease land from the City opposite Kimball Park and construct
a building with fi nanci al aid from the Department of Housing and urban
Development; Mr. Beebe, our bond counsel, has reported to him that a
section of the California Constitution which previously was felt to be
invalid, has been ruled valid by the United States Supreme Court and that
section requires that any proposition to construct any type of low rent
housing must be submitted to the pgopll4 for -.a vOt4; it was expected that
2/1/72
58
the Senior Citizens Residential Center would involve to some extents
subsidized rent for a part of the population which would occupy
center; consequently, Mr. Beebe has advised him today it was necessary to
submit to the voters at the pending municipal election the Citizen's
question
Center
tio
whether oar not the City should proceed with the Senior
soiutaon which he would
and following Mr. Beebe's advice, he had another
present now.
