RESOLUTION $ 671
Original Resolution Missing
Excerpt from minutes of Regular City Council Meeting of
February 14, 1944
RESOLUTION NO.67.1: COLORADO RIVER WATER AUTHORITY
Mayor Howe explained that a meeting had been held in
Coronado with Phil Swing, and representatives of different
Sixth Class Cities within this area, to discuss the matter
of the adoption of a Resolution, requesting the Board of
Supervisors of the County of San Diego, California, to
call an election to ascertain if the people desired the
creation of a San Diego County Water Authority.
Mayor Howe stated that there were many angles of the
proposition to which he objected. The main one being that
Chula Vista and National City were isolated from a large
area served by the California Water & Telephone Company,
and would have to share the burden of expenses for the entire
territory, leaving the contiguous county territory to
receive similar benefits for like taxation. However, it
being decided that the adoption of this Resolution simply
meant the presentation of the proposition to th'e people
for popular vote, it was mutually agreed that the Resolution
would be adopted,
Whereupon Councilman Perkins offered Resolution No-671.
The Resolution was read in full and was passed, adopted
and approved by the following vote, to-wit: Ayes: Councilmen
Perkins, Burnside, Kidder, Howe, Timmons . Noes: None.
Absent: None.
