CC - Item 5B - AB1355 - Eastern Los Angeles County Rivers and Mountains Conservancy
1/S 111-1,t- /Q. E- �; \ ue, statteport TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS ROSEMEAD CITY COUNCIL FROM: FRANK G. TRIPEPI, CITY MANAGER DATE: APRIL 8, 1999 , RE: AB 1355 (HAVICE) - EASTERN LOS ANGELES COUNTY RIVERS AND MOUNTAINS CONSERVANCY This item was placed on the agenda at the request of Councilman Imperial. AB 1355 (Havice) is one of two bills in the Legislature seeking to create a conservancy for local rivers and watershed. AB 1355,however, differs from SB 216 in several ways. Primarily,the bill seeks to include both the San Gabriel and Los Angeles Rivers in the same conservancy. In addition, AB 1355 specifies that the proposed conservancy shall not take"action that is deemed by a member city to be a detriment to its interests," and requires the conservancy to obtain written approval from the City in which it proposes to take an action. Should the Council choose to take action on AB 1355, staff recommends supporting the bill with the inclusion of language that reflects the following amendments: • The Conservancy must have a governing board composed of a majority of elected city officials. • The Conservancy must conform to all laws, regulations, general and specific plans of the cities included within its boundaries. • The Conservancy shall not adopt policies or approve projects that interfere with any water rights established by court order, statute or permit. • The Conservancy shall not adopt policies or approve projects that have the potential to contaminate surface water, groundwater supplies or otherwise degrade the quality_of water in the Main San Gabriel Basin.
