It was anticipated to take about 30 months for the City to
become organizationally capable of taking over operations of
the District. Prior to Board consideration, the City Council
informed the Board that it disagreed with the recommendation
calling for an advisory vote of the water customers outside
of the City. Further, in the event such an advisory vote was
held, it should include all water customers not just those
outside the City.
Since 1988, the potential transfer has been periodically
discussed between the City and County, but no further action
has been initiated. As a priority objective of the City
Council, I recommend that the Mayor meet with Supervisor
Mikels to determine interest and support to consider
initiating the proposed trarLsf� .
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Request the Mayor to meet with supervisor Mikels to initiate
action on the proposed transfer
