Plan to Relieve City Cash Stress Proposed to Council

Council hears a plan by candidate Downey to treat dry gas revenues as largely free from the Trickey suit.

Council Opposes Water-zone Bill in Assembly Action

City Council passes resolutions opposing Assembly bills 2041 and 3098 amending the County Flood Central Act to create water zones for underground basin replenishment. Reclaimed and Colorado River water would percolate into spreading grounds along the San Gabriel River and Rio Hondo with a property tax to fund the zones. Deputy City Attorney Dewey Strickler will challenge the bills as written while backing them in principle at the Assembly committee hearing in Sacramento. The water board argues the measures unfairly shift 32 percent of costs to Long Beach and other cities.
