CITY OF SAN BERN. RDINO REQUEST F .OR COUNCIL ACTION
STAFF REPORT
This request is pursuant to conversation.-; between Louis Fletcher, General Manager
of the San Bernardino Valley Municip 1 Water District., and Bernard Kersey, Gener-
al Manager of the San Bernardino Municipal Water Department, wherein Mr. Fletcher
requested that the term "water rights" be deleted from those rights reserved to
the City of San Bernardino in the Grant Deed.
The original Grant Deed from the Cit of Riverside to the City of San Bernardino
dated 02-15-60, does not include the reservation of water rights. It first
appears in the original lease from t e City of San Bernardino to the San Bernar-
dino Valley Municipal Water District 05-01-66.
If this property was located outside of City limits in an area where water rights
are of vital importance, it would be advisable for the City to consider not
revoking the reservation of these rights. However, the subject property is
located within the City limits and it is highly unlikely the City would decide to
drill a water well on the property.
Real Property Staff, however, cannot just delete the term "water rights" in the
Grant Deed as water rights are considered property rights, and their transfer
must come at the direction of the Mayor and City Council.
As the water rights are not considered important to the City's Water Department,
and, as Mr. Kersey has indicated, the Water Department has no objection to the
deletion of these rights, it is recommended that the attached resolution author-
izing the execution of the revised Grant Deed with the term "water rights" delet-
ed, be adopted.
