Welcome to Fremont Basin IRWM

Integrated Regional Water Management (IRWM) brings together the public agencies and stakeholders of a California region in order to collaboratively manage all the components of its water resources, including water supply and quality, wastewater collection and treatment, recycled water, stormwater, flood control, and watershed and habitat management. An IRWM Plan covers a wide range of water resource management strategies, examines the regional benefits of these strategies, and identifies regional priorities for implementing projects. The California Water Code, Section 10534, defines an IRWM Plan as:

“A comprehensive plan for a defined geographic area, the specific development, content, and adoption of which shall satisfy requirements pursuant to this part. At a minimum, an IRWM Plan describes the major water-related objectives and conflicts within a region, considers a broad variety of resource management strategies, identifies the appropriate mix of water demand and supply management alternatives, water quality protections, and environmental stewardship actions to provide long-term, reliable, and high-quality water supplies and protect the environment, and identifies disadvantaged communities in the region and takes the water-related needs of those communities into consideration."

The California Department of Water Resources (DWR) has created IRWM Grant Programs in order to provide funding for regions during the planning and implementation phases of IRWM and for stormwater and flood management. More information about Integrated Regional Water Management is available on DWR’s website. The Fremont Valley Basin IRWM Region was formally accepted as an IRWM region by the California Department of Water Resources in 2011 through the Region Acceptance Process.  In 2014, the City of California City, Mojave Public Utilities District, and Antelope Valley-East Kern Water Agency formed the Fremont Basin Regional Water Management Group (RWMG) to facilitate collaboration and coordination in the Region. The RWMG began developing the Region’s first IRWM Plan in spring 2017 following the award of planning grant funding through the IRWM grant program. As part of the IRWM Plan development, the Region is also developing a Groundwater Management Plan and a Salt and Nutrient Management Plan for the Fremont Valley Groundwater Basin. The Region’s final IRWM Plan was completed in February 2019, at which time the RWMG will adopt the IRWM Plan.

The IRWM planning process includes identifying regional water management objectives, holding a Call for Projects, prioritizing those projects, providing current information about the region, and adding the results of new analyses such as a climate change vulnerability assessment, Salt and Nutrient Management Plan, and a Groundwater Management Plan.

Participation from stakeholders and the public is an important aspect of the IRWM Program. Several opportunities for stakeholder and public participation are planned, and information on how to participate will be updated on the Fremont Basin IRWM webpage as it becomes available.

 Political Reform Act Campaign Disclosure Requirements & Filings

Since 1974, California has had in place a campaign finance disclosure law requiring candidates and committees to make public their contributions and expenditures. All local elected officeholders, candidates for local elected offices, and committees in support or opposed to local candidates are required to file their campaign disclosure reports with the City Clerk Office at specified intervals.

In general terms, the Forms include:

  • Form 470, Officeholder & Candidate Campaign Statement Short Form

A candidate who does not anticipate raising or spending more than $2,000 may file a 470 "Short" Form to indicate his or her candidacy. If a candidate does not intend to raise or spend more than $2,000, this may be the only campaign finance reporting form they are required to file.

  • Form 501, Candidate Intention Statement (Required form)

Form 501 indicates a candidate's intent to seek elected office and that he or she intends to raise or spend more than $2,000 in doing so. It must be filed prior to the solicitation or receipt of any contribution, or the expenditure of any personal funds used for an election.

  • Form 410, Statement of Organization Recipient Committee

A campaign committee must file a Form 410 within 10 days of raising or spending $2,000. Form 410 indicates the candidate for which the committee was formed, the name and address of the campaign committee, the treasurer, and the location (bank name and address) of the committee's bank account.

  • Form 460, Recipient Committee Campaign Statement

At semi-annual intervals during the year and more regularly prior to Election Day, candidates must file a Form 460 outlining the manner in which they raise and spend money in pursuit of elected office. Form 460 indicates the name, address, occupation, and employer of contributors as well as the name, address, and purpose for which payments have been made. It also outlines how much was raised and spent during that specific reporting period and in total for the calendar year. Detailed itemization is required for contributions received from a single source totaling $100 or more; expenditures of $100 or more; accrued expenses of $100 or more; and miscellaneous increases to cash of $100 or more. The law does not allow addresses to be posted online, however, that information may be available from the City Clerk's Office located at: City Hall/City Clerk Office, 21000 Hacienda Blvd, California City, CA 93505

  • Form 700, Statement of Economic Interests (Required Form)

The Political Reform Act requires most state and local government officials and employees to publicly disclose their personal assets and income. They also must disqualify themselves from participating in decisions which may affect their personal economic interests. The Fair Political Practices Commission (FPPC) is the state agency responsible for interpreting the law's provisions. Copies of the forms for all City filers are available in the City Clerk's Office. They are also available at the FPPC's website and at their office at the following location: 1102 Q Street Suite 3000, Sacramento, CA 95811
