Subject:PROPOSED REORGANIZATION OF THE COSTA REAL
MUNICIPAL WATER DISTRICT (CRMWD, FORMERLY CMWD)
Statement of the Matter
At the December 4, 1979 City Council meeting, you accepted
the Report from Ralph Andersen & Associates on Water Service
in the Carlsbad Area, and you directed staff to prepare
documents for initiating the recommended establishment of
the CRMWD as a subsidiary district of the City. The pre-
paration of those documents and review of procedures for
application to the Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCQ)
are underway.
At this time, the City Council may wish to appoint a steering
committee of two of its members to work with staff in the
application process. The participation of Council members
will lend considerable weight to the City's presentations
and will also ensure consistency with Council policy guide-
lines throughout the proceedings.
The attached letter dated December 13, 1979 from CRMWD indicates
the Board of Directors have received the Andersen Report and
suggests some informal discussions to clarify various points.
The Council appointed steering committee would be available
to meet with the CRMWD for such informal discussions.

Subject: "Andersen Report" dated September 19, 1979 -
Formation of a Subsidiary District -
Costa Real Municipal Water District.
Dear Mr. Dernetz:
Thank you very much for funishing to the Costa Real Municipal Water
District five copies of the subject report, prepared by your Management
Consultant, Ralph Andersen & Associates. The Costa Real Municipal
Water District management and staff spent a considerable amount of
time in working closely with your consultants in the preparation of
the study as it relates to the Costa Real Water District functions
and we are gratified that the report, in dealing with the Water District
matters, reflects our input.
Our Board of Directors have had an opportunity to review the subject
report and has also referred the proposed program for the creation of
a subsidiary district to our Special Committee, comprising Director
Don MacLeod, Director Fred W. Maerkle, Legal Counsel Paul S. Swirsky,
Special Consultant S.M. Schmidt, and the undersigned. The Special
Committee's evaluation of the Andersen Report has brought forth several
very prominent and important issues that we sincerely believe merit
a specific discussion with a counter-part committee of the Carlsbad
City Council. Inasmuch as the "Andersen Report" will be a substantive
supplementary document in your application to LAFCO for the formation
of a subsidiary district, we believe that the report should be responsive
to some basic questions that the application and subsequent proceedings
will bring forth in the form of public discussion. Accordingly, we
are of the opinion that the City Council will want the benefit of our
input at this preliminary stage, so that at such time there is public
discussion, our various points of issue and the points of debate, can
be based upon factual information and professional opinions, which
have the benefit of background data and facts that would support
those opinions.

In summary, we firmly believe that our citizens, voters, tax payers,
and water service customers of the entire Costa Real Municipal Water
District, should have the full benefit of factual information and
opinions so that the basic questions can be debated in a climate of
diplomacy and statesmanship. To this end we would pledge our interest
and availability to respond to the schedule of the City of Carlsbad
so that our request to have this informal discussion with you does
not impede your time schedule for action.
Please contact the undersigned immediately, if you have any questions
regarding this request from our Board of Directors and Special Committee
of the Board.
truly
/Ja',ck: Y./Xubota,
