HUSTON, CITY MANAGER FROM: PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT/WATER DIVISION SUBJECT., SUPPLEMENTAL AGREEMENT FOR 17TH STREET DESALTER RECOMAWNDATION: That the City Council, at its regularly scheduled meeting of July 6, 1992, approve the supplemental agreement with Orange County Water District (OCWD) for Construction, Operation, and Acquisition of a Groundwater Desalter. BACKGROUND: At its meeting of February 18, 1992, the City Council approved an agreement with OCWD for Construction, Operation, and Acquisition of a Groundwater Desalter on City owned property at 18602 E. 17th Street. The agreement provided fof OCWD purchase of an adjacent 7,000 square foot vacant lot to provide adequate space for construction of the desalter. The City -owned parcel, along with all other outlying parcels owned by the Tustin Water Works, was annexed into the City, as an island, shortly after City acquisition of the Water Works. The adjacent parcel remains in unincorporated county area. Since the desalter would be constructed on both parcels, design review and building permits would be required from both the County of Orange and the City. This could delay the permitting process. DISCUSSION: OCWD has completed purchase of the adjacent parcel and has asked that it be annexed into the City. The Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCO) has informed the City and OCWD that the California Government Code prohibits a City from annexing island areas in which it does not have vested ownership rights. The Supplemental Agreement transfers ownership of the adjacent parcel to the City immediately. This will allow annexation proceedings to be initiated so that the permitting process may be streamlined.
