TIME FOR THOSE IN THE AUDIENCE WHO WISH TO SPEAK: Ed Jenkins, 9714 Callita, Arcadia, stated he was here on behalf of the newly formed "Homeowners for Water Rights" representing approxi- mately 2600 families who are serviced by the East Pasadena Water Dis- trict, approximately 200 to 300 of which live in the Temple City area. Petitions are being prepared and will be circulated throughout the area which will direct the County of Los Angeles and affected local governments to undertake condemnation proceedings under the Public Utilities Code Section 1402. The homeowners want to remove the pre- sent utility and take whatever action is necessary to align the area with a proper utility which can better serve the community. Mayor Gillanders stated he felt the group would be benefited by taking the appropriate steps to arrange for condemnation proceedings themselves and form their own water district. Mr. Jenkins stated he felt the Council's attitude was inappropriate and would relay this attitude in his next newsletter. (See further remarks in 11.

SUBVENTIONS Mayor Gillanders stated our subventions have been restored for at least one year and expressed his appreciation to the Chamber of Commerce and our citizens for their efforts and communications to the Legislatures. E. COUNTY ENGINEERING BUILDING Councilman Tyrell presented a copy of the approved, duly executed Resolution, Contract and Grant Deed for the County Engineering Building which had been passed by the County Board of Supervisors at their September 29th meeting. F. EAST PASADENA WATER DISTRICT Mayor Gillanders expressed concern regarding Mr. Jenkins' comments and felt he had a lack of knowledge in the workings of the Municipal Government and in the efforts expended by the offices of the Council. Councilman Tyrell stated since the water district encompasses more than one governmental jurisdiction, it is totally impossible for any one of these jurisdictions to even consider condemnation proceedings against the water district either. individually or collectively be- cause if the condemnation proceedings were successful, the money involved in the cost of repairs and trying to set up an adequate water district is prohibitive. On the other hand, should the people through the "Homeowners for Water Rights" desire, the Public Utilities Code does authorize them to initiate condemnation proceed- ings which. may entitle them as an individual group to certain bene- fits. However, any group which undertakes this task would still have the great problem of purchasing the company and bringing it up to standards which would cost untold millions of dollars and it may be just as impractical for them to d� it as it would be for combined jurisdictions. Unfortunately, it is a situation that exists which cannot be remedied by the City. G. SISTER CITY Mayor Gillanders stated he had received communications from Hawkesbury Shire Council in Australia expressing their desire to proceed with the Sister City program. 12.
