RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CHULA
VISTA OPPOSING THE INCLUSION OF THE POMERADO COUNTY
WATER DISTRICT IN THE METROPOLITAN SEWERAGE SYSTEM
The City Council of the City of Chula Vista does hereby
resolve as follows:
WHEREAS, the City of Chula Vista has been notified that the
City of San Diego, which manages and operates the Metropolitan Sewerage
System, proposes to enter into an agreement with the Pomerado County
Water District, which water district would be designated as a "Later
Participating Agency" in accordance with the terms of the Joint Powers
Agreement establishing the Metropolitan Sewerage System, and
WHEREAS, the City of Chula Vista, pursuant to said agreement,
has the option of filing a written objection admitting any "Later Par-
ticipating Agency", and
WHEREAS, the City of Chula Vista strongly objects to the inclu-
sion of any special district in the Metropolitan Sewerage System, and
WHEREAS, the whole thrust of changing governmental organization
in the State of California has been the elimination of the multiplicity
of special districts and the extension of jurisdiction of general law
cities, and
WHEREAS, this proposed admission of the Pomerado County Water
District is in direct opposition to the goal of all leaders in the State
of California since it will clearly tend to perpetuate the concept of
special districts providing limited services to the residents of the
unincorporated areas of the State, and
WHEREAS, the City of Chula Vista opposes the inclusion of
the Pomerado County Water District in the Metropolitan Sewerage System
for the following additional reasons:
1. The basic plan for the Metropolitan System as prepared by
Holmes & Narver-Montgomery was tailored to meet the projected needs of a
rather specific area. To meet the needs of areas beyond that for which
the system was designed, it will be necessary to reduce the demand from
an area within the service area. If surplus capacity is available through
fortuitous circumstances of design, then such fact should be brought to
light and reflected in the proportionate amounts being paid by partici-
pating agencies. In any event, the addition of areas beyond the intended
service area may well unbalance or ultimately overload the total system.
No such addition should be permitted without benefit of a comprehensive
study of the system and the major drainage areas served by the system.
2. The Metropolitan System was designed on the basis of anti-
cipated flow from each of several gravity sub-areas. It would be
possible to depict the total ultimate flow anticipated by the designers
from each sub-area. By means of assigning capacity reservations of the
various participating agencies within each of the applicable sub-areas,
it would be possible to compare available capacity versus reserved
capacity in each sub area. Such information should be made available
to the Advisory Board to permit such Board to participate in making a
determination of availability of capacity in the system.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the
City of Chula Vista on behalf of themselves and all interested citizens
of this community who have long supported, through sewer service charges,
the development of the Metropolitan Sewerage System, that the admission
of the Pomerado County Water District into the Metropolitan Sewerage
System be, and the same is hereby strongly opposed.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the City Clerk be, and he is
hereby authorized and directed to file a certified copy of this resolution
containing the objection to the inclusion in the Metropolitan Sewerage
System of the Pomerado County Water District with the City Clerk of the
City of San Diego and forward certified copies of this resolution to
Mayor Frank Curran and each member of the City Council of the City of
San Diego, City Manager Walter Hahn, and City Attorney John Witt.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the City Clerk be, and he is
hereby authorized and directed to forward a certified copy of this reso-
lution to Senator James Mills, Assemblyman Wadie Deddeh and other members
of the San Diego County Legislative Delegation urging their support of
legislation which would terminate the ability of special districts,
including water districts, from expanding the service which they provide
and which more properly could be provided by the municipalities.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the City Clerk be, and he is
hereby authorized and directed to forward a certified copy of the reso-
lution to Supervisor Henry Boney and the members of the Board of Super-
visors of San Diego County urging said body to take all necessary steps
to support the opposition to the inclusion of the Pomerado County Water
District in the Metropolitan Sewerage System.
