Councilman Marks reported conversations he has had with a legislative source confirm that the Metropolitan Watershed District established in HR 1505 will be a mandated program. similar to the Land Planning Act. He said opposition to the. bill . from the municipalities is based on the supposition .that the new program is unnecessary because the same results could probably be attained through comprehensive planning. The Mayor said .Senator Ashbach agrees with the City 's stand that this agency will be "just another level of government" where rates will be set and taxes collected with little or no input from the municipalities they affect. Staff will closely monitor this legislation and Senate Bill #786 which, according to the League ' s recent Alert, could conceivably result in personal liability for City officials who serve on the Board of Trustees for a Firefighters Relief Association. Mr. Childs will contact the City Attorney immediately to review this proposed legislation so action which he deems necessary can be taken before the Legislature adjourns.
