Dear Mayor Furlong:
The Committee of Mayors of the Cities of Los Angeles COWlty recently
called a joint meeting with the Los Angeles CoWlty Delegation of State
Assemblymen and State Senator, Richard Richards in the interest of Wli-
fying the thinking and efforts of Southern California Cities with respect
to one of the most important problems confronting all of us -- Water.
As a result of that meeting. the Committee of Mayors unanimously endorsed
the Statements of Principles of the Feather River Project Association and
the Southern California Water Coordinating Council with the hope that
such action would strengthen the hand of our legislative representatives
in Sacramento. Copies of these data are enclosed for your information.
The Committee of Mayors also urged that every city in Southern California
participate in this coordinated effort. It ~as felt that this could be
done with the adoption of the enclosed resolution by your City Council.
Thirty-two copies of this resolution should be sent as soon as possible
to Sacramento in care of State Assemblyman Carley V. Porter, Head of the
Los Angeles County Delegation of State Assemblymen. Assemblyman Porter,
upon receipt of the aforesaid copies, ~ill distribute them to ourrepre-
sentatives in the State Capitol.
Your cooperation will be deeply appreciated as this problem ~arrants the
wholehearted support of your city along with the many other cities of
Southern California. As the State Legislature convenes on February 3,
1958, your prompt attention is urged.
Very truly yours,
~1Ng'6~~

AYOR OF CLAREMONT.
Adopted by Feather River Project Association Board' of Directors,
August 9, 1951, Sa cramento, Calif.
.,fi' "" .,
.,
The following polioies should apply in the authorization and financing
of State water projects, including the Feather River Projeot:
Authorization:
The State should construct proje cts or should provide funds for the
construction of projects only as authorized by the State Legislature.
Sources of Funds:
California as a State should assume the overall responsibility for
financing the Feather River Project and other authorized State water projects.
In order that there be assurance of adequate financing, in addition to .funds then
authorized, general obligation bonds in an amount sufficient to complete the
entire project should be authorized as early as possible, even though this might
mean that more. bOnds are authorized than are sold because of receipt of .funds
from other sources as hereinafter proposed. While the bonds to be issued will
be general obligation bonds of the State, they should be supported by contracts
of reimbursement to be made with each water or power user agency.
i. Bond Issues: Supplementing funds which are available by
appropriat:lonby the Legislature or otherwise, sufficient bonds
should be voted to complete a specific water project such as the
Feather River Project. Bonds authorized for such a project should
be used only for purposes defined in such bond authorization and should
be kept separate from the Water Projects Construction Revolving Fund.
Bond interest and bond redemption payments for the reimbursable costs
of such project should be the first demand on revenues of such project
after meeting operating and maintenance costs.
Fund: There should be a
nto this fund the State
Legislature may transfer a portion of State receipts from tideland .
oil revenues, the "Rai.I'\v' Day Fund, tl and any other mo.nies deemed ap-
propriate by the State Legislature. Money should be paid out on re-
imbursablefeatures of proje ets from this Fund only under direct ap-.
propriation by the Legislature for projects including those too small
to warrant a bond issue. All money EtO appropriated from the Water
Projects Construc:tion Revolving Fund should be returned to this .fund
with interest by those benefiting from such project in accordance with
this statement of Financial Policy.
3. The State should appropria.te from the general fund monies for
acquisition of reservoir and dam sites, rights of way, relocation of
highways and utilities, and for improvements removed or damaged by
construction of the project.
4. Funds properly allocable for the construction of improvements
for recreational features .of state-wide interest should be provided
from funds available to the State for beaches, parks and recreation.
./
.
s. Funds of the State, such as "Rainy Day" fund and sums derived
from the State' s tideland oil revenues and investment funds thereof, and
8I'I1 other available funds, may properly be made available by the Legisla-
ture as under-writing for the construction of the project.
6. The Federal Government should be requested to supply funds in
line with present or future federal policies, including allocations to
flood control, fish and wildlife, recreational values of national in-
terest and navigation.
1. Where areas express a desire for irrigation funds under recla-
mation or other federal law, the Federal Govermnent may be requested to
supply funds properly allocable for irrigation in connection with a
State project, provided no handicaps are placed on State ownership and
operation.
8. Operati~ Fund: An Operating Fund with separate accounts for
each project sho d be established. Into such account should be paid
all revenues from sale of water and power, all contract payments out of
project taxes raised by project beneficiary areas or districts, and all
other revenues from each respective project. The first charge on these
revenues should be forneC6ssary operation and maintenance of the reim-
bursable features of each respective project. The next charge on these
revenues should be for bond interest and redemption whenever there are
outstanding bonds or other indebtedness for the reimbursable features
of such projedi. If loans to the project have been made from the Water
Projects Construction Revolving Fund for reimbursable features of such
project to Meet such reimbursable costs, payment of interest and return
of ca~tal also should bea charge against such revenues. All remain-
ing revenues should be used only to meet the requirements of the project
from.which such revenues are derived.
Allocation of Costs:
The State should adopt a policy for determining benefits and costs which,
based on reoognized methods, will result in reasonable and fair allocations.
Repayment:
1. State 1llOnies for acquisition of reservoir and dam sites,
rights of way, relocation of utilities and highways, and for improve-
ments removed or damaged by construction of the project should be non-
reimbursable.
2. State funds for recreational improveMents of state-wide inter-
est should be non~reimbursable. .
3. Federal funds for flood control, fish and wildlife protection,
recreational improvements of nationwide interest, navigation and other
items in line with established policy should be non-reimbursable.
4. Federal funds for irrigation should-.be reimbursable, in accord-
ance witJi federal,pol.icies then prevailing.
-2-
-, .
..
..
5. All other funds, including those for power and for domestic
and industrial and ir rigation water supplY should be reimbursable with
interest.
6. The revenues of the project should be pledged to operation,
maintenance and the payment of debt service on reimbursable features
of projects.
7. The State should enter into contra ets with water distribut-
ing agencies before water is delivered. The contracts. should cover
repayment of the costs allocated to the particular agencies, includ-
ing debt service. The contracts should include a commitment by the
&genciesto provide the works required to make their connections to
the Feather River Project or other authorized State water projects.
Each such agency should provide distribution works for the delivery
of water to its own customers.
8. An agency may satisfy its contractual obligation to the
State by taxes levied upon the property wi thin the agency, by the
application of any revenue of the agency or by any other sources
of income available to the agency.
. .
9. The State should have the power to enjoin any person from
taking water from the Feather River Project, and other authorized
State water projects, without first entering into & contract with
the State.
