A MESSAGE
TO THE MAYORS, CITY COUNCILS, CITY ATTORNEYS AND CITY CLERKS
OF THE CITIES IN
THE METROPOLITAN WATER DISTRICT OF SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA
Enclosed is a copy of a resolution adopted by the Board of
Directors of The Metropolitan Water District of Southern California
on April 25, 1961, expressing strong opposition to provisions con-
tained in Assembly Bill 1593. This bill, if enacted into law, would
abolish the Colorado River Board of California and transfer all of
its functions and responsibilities to the State Department of Water
Resources.
A.B. 1593 is now before the Government Organization Committee
of the State Assembly. It is authored by Assemblyman Gordon H.
Winton, Jr., of Merced, Chairman of the Committee.
The enclosed resolution sets forth some of the reasons why the
Colorado River Board of California should be retained in its present
form and why it would be extremely detrimental to Southern California
and the entire State to have this Board abolished.
It is respectfully urged that your City Council adopt a reso-
lution, possibly along the lines of the enclosed resolution,
expressing your opposition to that provision of A.B. 1593 that
would abolish California's Colorado River Board.
It is especially important that your resolution be adopted as
promptly as possible and copies sent to Governor Edmund G. Brown,
to Assemblyman Winton, and to the State Senator and Assemblyman
representing your City in the Legislature.
Also enclosed i s a list of the cities and areas wi thin the
Metropolitan Water District, including your City, and a folder
giving information concerning the District and the Colorado River
Aqueduct.
Respectfully,
JOSEPH JENSEN, Chairman
Board of Directors

RESOLUTION 5915
WHEREAS, AB 1593 for the reorganization of the State
Government if enacted would, among other changes in the State
Government, abolish California's Colorado River Board and
transfer all its functions and responsibilities to the State
Department of Water Resources, effective June 30, 1962; and
WHEREAS, the Colorado River Board has had twenty-four
years of continuing service in carrying out its statutory respon-
sibilities to protect California's rights and vital interests in
Colorado River water; and
WHEREAS, the activities of the Colorado River Board in
carrying out its statutory functions and responsibilities are
basically interstate and national in scope, and relate exclu-
sively to the water of the Colorado River system; and
WHEREAS, each of the other six Colorado River Basin
states has a board or commissioner with functions and responsi-
bilities parallel with those of California's Colorado River Board;
and
WHEREAS, relegating the duties and responsibilities of
California's Colorado River Board to another department charged
with many diverse duties and interests would deprive the people
of California of an agency as well equipped and qualified as the
agencies of the six other Basin states, and would thereby put
California to serious disadvantage in negotiations with the other
Basin states and in matters before Congress and other official
agencies; and
WHEREAS, California's Colorado River Board had been
carrying forward its responsible duties with regard to Cali-
fornia's interests in the Colorado River for many years prior
. .

to the filing of the Arizona-California Supreme Court suit, and
the necessity for the California Board will continue regardless
of the outcome of the Arizona suit or of the occurrence of fur-
ther litigation; and
WHEREAS, no economy would be obtained by shifting the
engineering work of the Colorado River Board to some other State
agency because the Board's engineering staff could not be replaced
except by specialized, full-time employment of the same or greater
magnitude; and
WHEREAS, the rights and interests of the 7,500,000 people
residing within the boundaries of The Metropolitan Water District
of Southern California and all of the people in the State will
best be served by retaining the Colorado River Board in its pres-
ent form;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Board of Direc-
tors of The Metropolitan Water District of Southern California
respectfully urges the defeat of AB 1593, or any other measure,
bill or resolution which would abolish or destroy the effective-
ness of California's Colorado River Board; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that certified copies of this
resolution be forwarded to the Governor of California, to Assembly-
man Gordon H. Winton, Jr., author of AB 1593, and to members of
the Southern California delegation in the Senate and the Assembly.
I HEREBY CERTIFY that the foregoing is a full, true,
and correct copy of a resolution adopted by the Board of Directors
of The Metropolitan Water District of Southern California at its
meeting held April 25, 1961.
