"In Search of Bigfoot": The Common Law Origins of Article X, Section 2 of the California Constitution By BRIAN E. GRAY* I. Introduction In a constitution laden with obscure and sometimes trivial provi- sions, Article X, section 2 is surely among the least known and least appreciated. Enacted by initiative in 1928, this section directs that all uses of California's water resources must be reasonable and for beneficial purposes.' The policy of Article X, section 2 is set forth in its first sen- tence, which provides: [B]ecause of the conditions prevailing in this State the general wel- fare requires that the water resources of the State be put to benefi- cial use to the fullest extent of which they are capable, and that the waste or unreasonable use or unreasonable method of use of water be prevented, and that the conservation of such waters is to be ex- ercised with a view to the reasonable and beneficial use thereof in the interest of the people and for the public welfare.' The second sentence of the amendment implements this policy, declaring that [t]he right to water..

    DWP Motion Final

    Councilmember Herb Wesson, Chair Rules, Elections & Intergovernmental Relations Committee Los Angeles City Council 200 North Spring Street, Room 340 Los Angeles, California 90012 CC: Mayor Eric Garcetti Los Angeles City Council City Controller Ron Galperin Dear Committee Members: Thank you for the opportunity to comment on Councilmember Fuentes’ motion to restructure LADWP’s governance. Green LA is a coalition of advocacy organizations based in the City of Los Angeles. We have worked with LADWP for over a decade on the advancement of safe, reliable, and affordable water and power service. While we agree that the current structure could benefit from some reform, we urge you to oppose the specific efforts to remove or limit city council and mayoral oversight. The proposed motion as currently drafted would put unelected officials in charge of policy decisions undermining our democratic process. Policy decisions such as efficiency, resiliency, and equity require a fresh look by leaders that represent voters. For instance, Mayor Garcetti set LA on a path to transform our city’s water portfolio into a resilient one that can withstand long-term droughts and climate change. And, in the prior administration, Mayor Villaraigosa and the Council embraced these policies as they moved LADWP away from coal in 2013. Without democratic representation, we are not able to secure our institutions evolve or hold elected officials accountable when they do not respond to voter interests. The proposed motion would remove the oversight that ensures necessary checks and balances. Decision-making without proper oversight too often results in unaccounted for and wasted resources. For instance, the still unaccounted for $40 million spent on training and safety left a veil of distrust over DWP management.

Summary Text: Historical Background on USYROA On August 1, 1989, the City of Santa Barbara (City) entered into the USYROA with the Downstream Purveyors1 on the Santa Ynez River, including Goleta Water District. The USBR signed an associated Consent and Acknowledgment document attesting that the USYROA was consistent with agreements related to the Cachuma Project, and would not adversely affect the financial obligations of the Cachuma Member Units with respect to the Cachuma Project. USYROA, which is also known as the “Pass Through Agreement,” was developed as a compromise solution to resolve concerns related to City plan to raise Gibraltar Dam in the mid-1980s for expansion of the diminishing capacity of Gibraltar Reservoir as a result of ongoing siltation. The Cachuma Member Units and downstream water rights holders raised concerns that enlarging Gibraltar would have 1 The Downstream Water Purveyors include Goleta Water District, Carpinteria Valley Water District, Montecito Water District, Summerland County Water District (since consolidated with the Montecito Water District), the Santa Ynez River Water Conservation District, and the Santa Ynez River Water Conservation District Improvement District No.
