ORANGE COUNTY LOCAL AGENCY FORMATION COMMISSION
RELkTIVE TO A PROPOSAL TO DETACH CERTAIN TERRITORY
NOW A PART OF EAST ORANGE COUNTY WATER DISTRICT
AND TO ATTACH THE DETACHED PORTION TO THE WATER
SUPPLY SYSTEM OF THE CITY OF SANTA ANA
WHEREAS, the City of Santa Ana, acting through its city
Council, purchased a portion of the Tustin Water Works; and
WI~EREAS, this purchase transaction was formalized through
the execution of a number of documents and a written application
made to the Public Utilities Commission of the State of california
seeking approval of the aforementioned sale and purchase agreement;
all of the documents above referred to are now combined in a single
exhibit, marked "EXHIBIT 1" for identification, which is attached
hereto and made a part hereof by this reference. The written
decision of the Public utilities Commission approving the purchase
agreement is marked "EXHIBIT 2", attached hereto and made a part
hereof by this reference; and
WHEREAS, a small portion of the East Orange County Water
District lying within the territory of the Tustin Water Works
purchased by the City of Santa Ana as aforesaid, and the exact
description of said territory is contained in E)fHIBIT 3, attached
hereto and made a part hereof by this reference; and
WHEREAS, the best interests of the East Orange County Water
District, the City of Santa Ana, and the residents and present and
future users of water within the area before described require that
this area be detached from the East Orange County Water Distrist.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED: That the City Council of the
City of Santa Aha does hereby request the Orange County Local Agency
Formation Commission to approve the detachment of the before described
territory as shown in EXHIBIT 3, hereinabove referred to, from the
East Orange County Water District.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED: That this City Council declares:
1. This proposal is made under the authority of and pursuant to
the District Reorganization Act of 1965;
2. The territory proposed to be detached is inhabited;
3. The reasons for this proposal are:
a)
Formerly the territory of the Tustin Water Company
purchased by the City of Santa Ana obtained its water
from the East Orange County Water District. The City
of Santa Ana does not need the service of the East
Orange County Water District as it is permitted to
and does in fact deal directly with Metropolitan Water
District which supplies it with water;
b)
If the territory in question is not detached the
residents and users, both present and prospective,
will continue to be taxed by the East Orange County
Water District for a service no longer provided by
the Water District but now provided by the City of
Santa Ana which in turn will be compelled to charge
the users for the water supplied to them, which will
result in double charges to the users and residents;
c)
If detachment is not granted, the East Orange County
Water District will theoretically exist in an area in
which it owns no equipment and supplies no water and
provides no other service;
d)
The following counties, cities, or districts are affected
by this proposal: Orange County, City of Santa Ana,
and East Orange County Water District.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED: That the City Council of the City
of Santa Ana hereby requests that the proposed detachment not be
subject to any additional terms or conditions;
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED: That the City Manager of the City
of Santa Ana is hereby directed to file a Certified Copy of this
Resolution with the Executive Officer of the Orange County Local
Agency Formation Commission.
PASSED AND ADOPTED by the City Council of the City of Santa
Aha at its regular meeting held on the 5th day of February, 1968.
