DATE: APRIL 14, 1986
SUBJECT: HR 3113 - COORDINATED OPERATIONS AGREEMENT LEGISLATION
Specific Requests or Recommendation(s) A Background & Justification
RECOMMENDED ACTION
AUTHORIZE Chair to sign a letter from the Board to Senator Cranston and Senator Wilson
encouraging a Senate vote in favor of HR 31.13.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
None
REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION/BACKGROUND
HR 3113 authorizes federal execution of a Coordinated Operations Agreement which would
require that the Federal Central Valley Project be operated in coordination with the State
Water Project. The version of HR 3113 that was approved by the [louse of Representatives had
a provision in it which requires the Central Valley Project to operate in accordance with
water quality standards established by the State Water Resources Control Board. These
provisions were deleted from the bill in order to obtain a vote in a Senate committee.
The bill is now pending before the full Senate. The portions deleted by the Senate committee
were of vital importance to Contra Costa County and without these provisions , the County
should not support the legislation. The County supported HR 3113 as it was approved by the
House of Representatives.
Congressman Miller, one of the sponsors of the legislation, is anticipating that the
deleted provisions can be reinserted to the bill when it is in the House/Senate Conference
Committee. In order for the bill be reach the [louse/Senate Conference Committee, the bill
must be voted on by the full Senate. It is appropriate for the County to send a letter to
Senators Cranston and Wilson to encourage an affirmative vote on HR 3113 to allow the bill
to reach the House/Senate Conference Committee.
