Report of the Water Committee~ Re: Final Water Management Agreement Mro Scheidig presented his report regarding this matter, stating that the Joint Exercise of Powers Agreement for implementation of the Valley-wide Water Management Plan has been prepared in final form following numerous changes and should be approved by City Council in order that formal signing by the agencies involved may be consummated. Councilman Herlihy stated he was against creation of another form of government to answer to and felt there were already sufficient agencies in the Valley capable of handling this responsibility and would vote against this Joint Exercise of Powers Agreement. Councilman Mori stated the proposed agency would be comprised of members of each Valley jurisdiction and would well represent the interest of the Valley, and it was the result of much study by the Water Interest Committee as the best method of implementing the Water Management Plan as mandated by State. It was moved by Councilman Mori, and seconded by Councilman Kinney, approving a Joint Exercise of Powers Agreement to implement a regional water quality manage- ment system as presented to the City Council at their meeting of January 14, 1974, and authorizing the Mayor to execute the same. The roll call vote was as follows: AYES: Councilmen Kinney, Mori, Reid, and Mayor Pearson NOES: Councilman Herlihy ABSENT: None Report of the Sewer Committee~ Re: Progress of Ci. ty/V,C.S.D.
