Subject: Adoption of Ordinance No. 50 Repealing and Replacing Title 1 of the
Carlsbad Municipal Water District Code
District: All
Recommended Actions
Adopt Ordinance No. 50 repealing and replacing Title 1 of the Carlsbad Municipal Water District
Code.
Executive Summary
The recommended action adopts Ordinance No. 50 repealing and replacing Title 1 of the code
and is the first amending ordinance to update each of the three titles in the code. The proposed
changes to Title 1 remove obsolete language, codify current practices established by Board
resolutions and the operating agreement between CMWD and the City of Carlsbad, and
streamline enforcement procedures to mirror those provided in the Carlsbad Municipal Code.
Explanation & Analysis
Ordinance No. 50 was introduced and first read at the Board of Directors meeting held on
Oct. 29, 2024. On a motion by Board Member Bhat-Patel, seconded by Board Member Acosta,
the Board of Directors voted 4-0-1, with Board Member Luna absent, to introduce Ordinance
No. 50. The second reading allows the Board of Directors to adopt the ordinance.
Fiscal Analysis
There is no fiscal impact from the recommended action.
Next Steps
The City Clerk Services Department will have the ordinance, or a summary of the ordinance,
published in a newspaper of general circulation within 15 days following adoption of the
ordinance. The ordinance will be effective 30 days after its adoption.
Environmental Evaluation
The City Planner, through the process outlined in the Carlsbad Municipal Code relating to
Environmental Protection (Section 19.04.060), has determined that this action is categorically
exempt from environmental review under the California Environmental Quality Act Guidelines
Section 15061(b)(3), which states that an activity is exempt from the provisions of the act if it

Staff Report
can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a
significant effect on the environment. Moreover, approval of the Ordinance constitutes an
administrative activity of CMWD and is additionally exempt from CEQA on that basis. (State
CEQA Guidelines, Section 15378(b)(5).)

NOW, THEREFORE, be it ordained by the Board of Directors of the Carlsbad Municipal Water
District as follows:
1. The above recitations are true and correct and are incorporated into this Ordinance.
2. Miscellaneous.
a. Existing Law Continued. The adoption of the provisions in this Ordinance that are
substantively the same as existing ordinances relating to the same subject are
restatements and continuations of existing ordinances and not new enactments or
amendments, except for formatting to codify the existing ordinances. The adoption
of this Ordinance is not intended to affect or disrupt the continuity of the CMWD’s
business or administration of its law, including but not limited to the following:
i. Action and proceedings that began before the effective date of this
Ordinance;
ii. Prosecution for ordinance violations committed before the effective date of
this Ordinance; or
iii. Matters of record that refer to or are connected with a provision of the prior
Code, as amended, and which references shall be constructed to apply to the
corresponding provisions of the CMWD Code.
b. References to Prior Ordinances Apply to All Amendments. Whenever a reference is
made to this Code as the “Carlsbad Municipal Water District Code” or to any portion
of it, or to any ordinance by the Carlsbad Municipal Water District, the reference
shall apply to all amendments, corrections and additions, made now or in the future.
c. Title, Chapter and Section Headings. Title, chapter and section headings contained
in this Code shall not be deemed to govern, limit, modify or in any matter affect the
scope, meaning or intent of the provisions of any title, chapter or section of this
Code.
d. References to Specific Ordinances and Code Sections. The provisions of this
Ordinance do not affect matters of record which refer to, or are connected with
Nov. 12, 2024 Item #6 Page 4 of 17
ordinances, titles, chapters, or section headings included within the CMWD Code.
Renumbering and relabeling of existing ordinances, title, chapter, and section
headings by this Ordinance does not affect the continuing validity of existing laws.
Any existing reference to an ordinance, title, chapter, or section heading which is
renumbered or relabeled by this Ordinance must be construed to apply to the
corresponding provisions contained within this Ordinance.
e. Effect of Ordinance on Past Actions, Obligations and Irregularities. All rights and
obligations existing under any ordinance in effect prior to the effective date of this
Ordinance continue in full force and effect. This Ordinance does not invalidate any
action taken prior to the effective date of this Ordinance if the action was proper
under the law governing the action at the time the action was taken. Adoption of
this Ordinance supersedes the incorporated ordinances, and to the extent there is a
conflict with them, this Ordinance takes precedence over the incorporated
ordinances. In the event of any irregularities in the restatement of any ordinances,
this Ordinance constitutes a readoption of any said ordinance with the intent of
curing any such adoption irregularity. Adoption of this Ordinance, and the resulting
amendment of any ordinance or portion of any ordinance of the CMWD, do not
revive any rights repealed or extinguished by any prior ordinance of the CMWD.
f. Effect of Ordinance on Period of Limitation. When a limitation or period of time
prescribed in any existing ordinance for acquiring a right or barring a remedy, or for
any other purpose, has begun to run before this Ordinance goes into effect, and the
same or any limitation is prescribed in this Ordinance, the time which has already
run is deemed part of the time prescribed as such limitation by this Ordinance.
g. Successor Codes. All references in this Ordinance to California codes includes all
successor provisions to such codes. Where any of the provisions of this Ordinance
conflict with subsequent changes in the cited or successor codes or other applicable
California law, the provisions of those changed or successor codes or other
applicable law applies in place of the conflicting provisions in this Ordinance. Any
such changed or successor or other applicable law applies to allow imposition of the
Nov. 12, 2024 Item #6 Page 5 of 17
maximum penalties, interest, charges, and damages and the strictest compliance
deadlines then allowed by law.
3. Title 1 Repealed and Replaced. Title 1 “General Provisions” of the CMWD Code is
repealed and replaced as set forth in Attachment A to this Ordinance, which is
incorporated by this reference as if set forth in full at this point.
4. Parentheticals. Parenthetical references of a historical nature are not a substantive part
of this Ordinance and may be deleted and modified as necessary as part of the
codification of the Carlsbad Municipal Water District Code.
5. Severability. If any section, subsection, subdivision, paragraph, sentence, clause or
phrase of this Ordinance or any part of it is for any reason held to be unconstitutional,
such decision shall not affect the validity of the remaining portion of this Ordinance or
any part of it. The Board of Directors of the CMWD declares that it would have passed
each section, subsection, subdivision, paragraph, sentence, clause or phrase of the
Ordinance, irrespective of the fact that any one or more section, subsection, subdivision,
paragraph, sentence, clause or phrases be declared unconstitutional.
6. Publication. The CMWD Board Secretary has caused notice of this Ordinance to be
advertised in a newspaper of general circulation as is required by law.
EFFECTIVE DATE: This ordinance shall be effective thirty days after its adoption; and the CMWD
Board Secretary shall certify the adoption of this ordinance and cause the full text of the ordinance, or
