A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
BALDWIN PARK, DECLARING ITS OPPOSITION TO SB 1029
PERATA) RELATING TO WATER TRANSFERS
WHEREAS, SB 1029 BY Senator Don Perata D-Hayward) redistributes the risk and
costs associated with providing water supplies to taxpayers by public agencies while creating
profit opportunities for private water brokers; and
WHEREAS, SB 1029 allows third parties to transfer water through public conveyance
facilities, which are generally publicly funded, without paying the full cost of providing those
facilities; and
WHEREAS, SB 1029 would only partly compensate owners of water conveyance
facilities for the specific facilities used by third parties; and
WHEREAS, conveyance facilities are just one component of the water infrastructure
necessary to manage vital water resources and the owner of those facilities must pay for the
financing, construction, maintenance and operation of the entire system to protect the integrity
and dependability of the system for its customers; and
WHEREAS, the inability to recover the full cost for utilizing the facilities will shift costs to
existing customers of the water system; and
WHEREAS, a facilities-based cost recovery mechanism disregards the fixed obligations
of the facilities owners, such as State Water Project contract obligations and conservation and
recycling programs which help meet Southern California's goals for long-term water planning;
and
WHEREAS, SB 1029 is an attempt to deregulate the water market at the risk of
inflated rates and decreased water quality which could leave ratepayers holding the bill; and
WHEREAS, laws that dictate how water is moved, or wheeled," through publicly-owned
facilities mush protect taxpayer investments, offer equal access to the conveyance system with
no subsidies for private water marketers, promote competition to secure supplies, and
recognize the value of local water management programs;
NOW, therefore, be it resolved that the City Council of the City of Baldwin Park does
hereby oppose SB 1029 because it does not adequately nor fairly compensate the owners of
public water conveyance facilities for the use of those facilities by third parties.
PASSED, APPROVED and ADOPTED this 3rd day of July, 2001.
