Re: Request for Nomination to the
San Gabriel Basin Water Quality Authority Board
Dear Mayor Taylor:
As you know, I represent Rosemead and the other cities without pumping rights on the San
Gabriel Basin Water Quality which was created in 1993 to oversee the cleanup of our
groundwater basin. Every 4 years our 13 cities must hold an election for a board member and
the runner up is the alternate. The vote is weighted by cities' population. The period when cities
nominate by resolution at their council meeting closes on Oct. 22nd and then the cities vote
again by resolution after Nov. 4th.
I would really appreciate having your nomination and subsequent vote. We have made great
progress in cleaning up the groundwater basin, which is all the more important since regulatory
cutbacks on water from northern California have occurred. Our projects have already removed
more than 38 tons of contaminants, but the work isn't over.
If you have any questions, please let me know.
Thanks so much,
Margaret "Maggie" Clark
