As rev1sed, 5B 8 would drast1cally amend the Metropol1tan Water Distrlct Act to change the manner in Wh1Ch dlrectors are selected. ~o longer would the me~her agenCles select the dlrectors. Instead, dlrectors would be elected from 51 single-member d1strlcts of approxlmately eoual population to be created with1n the boundarles of Metropolltan. The blll, a copy of WhlCh lS attached, would go lnto effect ~ed1ately and would call for a spec1al election to select the new repre- sentatlves to be consolidated wlth the Nove~ber 2, 1982 General Electlon. The te~ of the new directors would apparently beg1n on December I, 1982. Th1S blll should be opposed by us and I may ask for your assistance ln that effort If and when th1S bill recelves further leg1slat1ve conslderation. Leglslatlve representative Blll Fairbank, of course, 15 closely followlng the Frogress of thlS bill and has done ITouch already to assure that it does not proceed Wlthout careful cons1deratlon of those who would be affected and that it is referred to the proper co~~ittee or cOmMittees for reVlew.
