TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
THRU: Jill R. Ingram, City Manager
FROM: Steve Myrter, P.E., Director of Public Works
SUBJECT: Amendment to the West Orange County Water Board Joint
Powers Agreement — Change Fiscal Year Period
SUMMARY OF REQUEST:
That the City Council approve an amendment to the West Orange County Water
Board (WOCWB) Joint Powers Agreement (JPA) to change the WOCWB Fiscal
Year from October 1st through September 30th to July 1st through June 30th
BACKGROUND AND ANALYSIS:
The City of Seal Beach is a member of the West Orange County Water Board
(WOCWB), which is the joint powers agency that owns and operates the water
distribution system conveying water from the Municipal Water District of Orange
County (MWDOC) to the cities of Huntington Beach, Garden Grove,
Westminster, and Seal Beach. MWDOC supplies 25% to 30% of the water
demand for Seal Beach used mainly during the summer season. All of the cities
including Seal Beach save funds by sharing pipelines that deliver water to the
cities. Without the WOCWB, Seal Beach would have to construct and maintain
an individual pipeline delivering water from the Metropolitan Water District to the
City of Seal Beach.
The WOCWB JPA fiscal year currently operates from October 1st to September
30th. Staff is recommending that the WOCWB JPA be amended to change the
operating fiscal year to July 1st through June 30th to correlate with the City's fiscal
year.
