On the same day the Board of Directors of the LAVWCD unanimously approved this agreement.
Mayor Tauer explained City Council had this special meeting at the request of the LAWVCD Board of Directors so the agreement was approved by both parties on the same day. The Mayor also congratulated staff for a great job in settling this litigation.
