BASIN WATER QUALITY AUTHORITY BOARD MEMBER
SUMMARY
The San Gabriel Basin Water Quality Authority (WQA) was established by the State Legislature
(SB 1679) on February 11, 1993, to develop, finance and implement groundwater treatment
programs in the San Gabriel Basin. The WQA is under the direction and leadership of a seven
member board. The Board is comprised of one member from each of the overlying municipal
water districts, one from a city with prescriptive water pumping rights, one from a city without
prescriptive water pumping rights, and two members representing water purveyors in the
San Gabriel Basin. The Cities without prescriptive water pumping rights include Baldwin Park,
Bradbury, Duarte, La Puente, La Verne, Rosemead, San Dimas, San Gabriel, San Marino, Sierra
Madre, South El Monte, Temple City, and West Covina.
Under the WQA's enabling legislation, the term of the board member and alternate representing
cities without pumping rights expires on January 1, 2019. The thirteen cities without prescriptive
water pumping rights must hold an election. An election to fill this seat is scheduled for
December 19, 2018, at 12:00 p.m., at the San Gabriel Basin Water Quality Authority
Headquarters.
The nomination period for the election of the WQA Board Member representing cities without
water pumping rights was closed on October 19, 2018. Council Member Margaret Clark was
duly nominated as a candidate as she received the nomination of six cities (see Attachment C).
Each city has one vote for each 10,000 residents or majority thereof, as determined by the 2010
U.S. census data. Per the U.S. census (Attachment D), the City of Rosemead has a population of
53,764 and is therefore eligible to cast five votes. The City must cast its votes for a
representative by resolution of the City Council and must be delivered to the San Gabriel Basin
Water Quality Authority no later than December 18, 2018, at 12:00 p.m.
