A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF

WHEREAS, Assembly Bill No. 28 would be a legislative
mandate compelling local agencies to enter into a contract not
deemed by them to be mutually beneficial but designed for the
primary benefit;of only one party, to wit, the San Bernardino

an unwarranted invasion into home rule; and
WHEREAS, the San Bernardino Valley Municipal Water
District has an adequate and proper method of relieving its
water situation by joining the Metropolitan Water District; and
WHEREAS, the voters of the San Bernardino Valley
Municipal Water District have elected not to join the Metropolitan
Water District and relieve their water situation such action is
i
a mandate of the people to accept the reduction n available
water; and

the facilities of the Metropolitan Water District to the use
of the San Bernardino Valley Municipal Water District without
their joining and participating in the Metropolitan Water District
in violation of the terms of the Metropolitan Water District Act

of the Metropolitan Water District, to the detriment of all
members of the Metropolitan Water District.
