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. Mayor Matthew Harper and City
Council Member Joe Carchio represent the City of Huntington Beach on the Board.
The General Manager of WOCWB submits a proposed budget to _the Board annually prior, to the
new fiscal year for the Board's review and approval. Huntington Beach Utilities Division staff have
reviewed and provided input to the proposed budget. The total proposed budget for Fiscal Year
2014/15 is $201,718 and the City of Huntington Beach's representative share is $113,164. This is
a 6% increase primarily due to the cost for additional maintenance and repairs for deferred
maintenance. This amount includes funding for general operations and maintenance, electricity,
administrative costs (legal, insurance, audit fees), as well as capital costs and reserves. A line item
budget is attached.
