Summary

Existing law, the Municipal Water District Law of 1911, authorizes the formation of a municipal water district to acquire and sell water. The district law authorizes a municipal water district to make contracts. This bill would prohibit the Central Basin Municipal Water District from using sole source contracts, except as prescribed. This bill would require the district to rebid a contract if the district significantly changes the scope of work of the contract. This bill would require the general manager of the district to submit a quarterly report to the district's board detailing all of the district's contracts, contract amendments, and contract and amendment dollar amounts. By imposing new duties on a municipal water district, this bill would impose a state-mandated local program. The district law provides that the board of directors of a municipal water district shall act only by ordinance, resolution, or motion which shall only pass to become effective with the affirmative vote of a majority of the members of the board. This bill would require that no ordinance, motion, or resolution relating to the ethics, compensation, or benefits of the members of the Central Basin Municipal Water District board of directors be passed or become effective without the affirmative votes of 23 of the members of the board. This bill would make legislative findings and declarations as to the necessity of a special statute for the Central Basin Municipal Water District. The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement. This bill would provide that, if the Commission on State Mandates determines that the bill contains costs mandated by the state, reimbursement for those costs shall be made pursuant to these statutory provisions. This bill would become operative only if AB 1794 of the 2015–16 Regular Session is enacted and becomes effective on or before January 1, 2017.
