RISING WATER TASK FORCE COMMITTEE MEETING
General Manager Jakowczyk stated that he and Asst. Gen. Mgr.
Rowe had attended a meeting called by the San Bernardino Valley
Municipal Water District regarding the rising water problem in
South San Bernardino. San Bernardino Valley Municipal Water
District's staff had prepared four options for the committee to
review. 1) continue as is; with no changes in basin management;
2) all agencies get together and discuss the matter annually with
agencies informa -ly agreeing on management plans; 3) a joint powers
or cooperative agreement would be developed allowing all the local
water purveyors to participate; and 4) legislation would be
introduced that would appoint San Bernardino Valley Municipal
Water District the basin management authority. Options 3 and 4
were determined to be the most feasible ones. If something is
not decided as to how the problem will be handled, the legislative
solution will probably be the option used. James Mann, consultant,
informed the group that the basic mechanism for the basin is recharge,
