Analysis:
The WOCWB is a Joint Powers Authority comprised of the Cities of Garden Grove, Seal Beach,
Westminster and Huntington Beach, for the purpose of purchasing water from the Municipal Water
District of Orange County, and transporting it via Feeders No. 1 and No. 2, owned by the Joint
Powers cities. Huntington Beach owns 56.1 percent of the system. The WOCWB is governed by
five elected officials from each of the Joint Powers agencies. Council Members Jill Hardy and Mike
Posey represent the City of Huntington Beach.
The General Manager of the WOCWB (the City of Huntington Beach Public Works Utilities
Manager) submits a proposed budget to the Board for review in April and approval in July of each
year. Huntington Beach Utilities Division staff have reviewed and provided input to the proposed
budget. The total proposed budget for Fiscal Year 2017-18 is $91,000. This includes funding for
general operations and maintenance, electricity, administrative costs (legal, insurance, audit fees)
and capital costs. The City of Huntington Beach's share is $51,051. A line item budget is attached
as well as the total charge being assessed to each of the member agencies.
Funds for the construction of the WOCWB 33-inch OC-35 Transmission Main Relocation Project at
the Westminster Blvd. crossing of the 1-405 Freeway (necessitated by the freeway widening project)
are not included. The project is nearing completion of the design phase. OCTA has authorized
their Chief Executive Officer to negotiate a reimbursement agreement with WOCWB to help finance

the project utilizing a 10-year, low interest loan. The exact amount of the agreement will be known
later this year when the bids for construction are opened. Once the price of the project is better
known, City Council approval for the first year's payment of the Huntington Beach portion of the
project will be sought from the Water Master Plan Fund 507.
