RESOLUTION 2026-01
RESOLUTION OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF THE WILLOW COUNTY WATER
DISTRICT DETERMINING THAT CERTAIN REAL PROPERTY PROPOSED TO BE LEASED,
WITH AN OPTION TO PURCHASE, TO THE CITY OF UKIAH IS NOT SURPLUS LAND AND,
IF SUBJECT TO THE SURPLUS LAND ACT, WOULD QUALIFY AS EXEMPT SURPLUS
LAND
WHEREAS:
1. The Willow County Water District ("Willow") has determined to enter the Lease with
Option to Purchase ("Lease") between the District and the City of Ukiah ("City") attached hereto
as Exhibit A; and
2. The property subject to the Lease is located at 151 Laws Avenue in Ukiah, California,
also known as Mendocino County Assessor's Parcel Number ("APN.") 003-420-47 (the
"Property"); and
3. The Property is less than one-half acre and includes an office building which Willow
has used as its offices for its staff, for maintaining its records, dispatching personnel to perform
maintenance and repair of its water system and pursuant to agreements with other water
districts, billing and system maintenance services for the other districts and for the meetings of its
Board of Directors; and
4. Willow and Millview County Water District, Calpella County Water District and
Redwood Valley County Water District and the City have entered a joint exercise of powers
agreement under which the Ukiah Valley Water Authority ("UVWA") has been established as a
joint powers agency to operate and maintain its members' water systems and to bill and collect
fees from their customers; and
5. The City currently uses office space on the Property to service Willow and other
members of the UVWA under which the City provides administrative services for the members,
including Willow. The administrative services include, but are not limited to, billing member
customers for water services and maintaining billing and related records; and
6. The Willow Board of Directors will continue to conduct its meetings on the Property;
and
7. The Lease has a term of five years during which the City will have the option to
purchase the Property;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Board of Directors finds and declares,
as follows:
1. Under the Surplus Lands Act (Gov. Code §§ 54220 et seq.), land surplus to the
District's needs can be declared surplus and leased or sold. If the land qualifies as exempt
surplus land, the District can sell it without first issuing a Notice of Availability ("NOA"), to, among
others, affordable housing developers, and thereafter, if any qualified entity submits a Notice of
Interest within sixty (60) days of issuance of the NOA, the local agency must negotiate in good
faith for at least ninety (90) days with any such submitting entities before pursuing alternative
disposition.
2, The Property is not surplus Land and independently qualifies as exempt surplus land
which does not require the issuance of a NOA.
3. The Property is not surplus to Willows' needs, because under the UVWA, the City will
provide billing and collection services and system maintenance and repair services to Willow,
DN12 101762214 1
using the Property pursuant to the Lease and the Willow Board will continue to conduct meetings
on the Property.
4. The Property would also qualify as exempt surplus property under the following
exemptions:
a. The Lease is for a term of less than 15 years which qualifies it for the
exemption in Gov. Code § 54221 (d)(1)(A).
b. Under the option to purchase in the Lease, as a sale to the City, it is exempt
surplus land under Gov. Code § 54221(f)(1)(D) which exempts a sale of real property by a local
agency, such as the District to another local agency, such as the City.
c. As a property which is less than '/z acre, it is exempt under Gov. Code
§544221(f)(1)(B).
5. The approval of the Lease is exempt from environmental review under the California
Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA") because the Lease will not change the use of the Property
and the purchase option in the Lease is exempt under 14 California Code of Regulations ("CCR")
section 15312.
PASSED AND ADOPTED at a regular meeting of the Board of Directors of the Willow County
Water District on the 13th day of March 2026 by the following roll call vote:
AYES:
NOES:
ABSENT:
ABSTAIN:

COMMON INTEREST AGREEMENT
Regarding
UKIAH VALLEY WATER AUTHORITY AND PURPOSES THEREOF
1. This Common Interest Agreement ("Agreement") is entered into and by Calpella County
Water District ("Calpella"), Millview County Water District ("Millview"), Redwood Valley
County Water District ("Redwood"), the City of Ukiah ("Ukiah"), and Willow County Water
District ("Willow") (collectively, the "Members"), and the Ukiah Valley Water Authority
(the "Water Authority") (collectively, the "Parties"). The Members are members of the Water
Authority, a Joint Exercise of Powers Authority formed pursuant to the Joint Exercise of
Powers Act (Gov. Code sections 6500 et seq.). Each of the Parties have been and continue to
be engaged in discussions regarding powers and authorities of the Water Authority,
including, but not limited to, the consolidation of the Members' various water systems,
associated water rights, and applications for funding from the State of California. The Parties
have a common interest in the successful prosecution, implementation, and defense of the
various powers, authorities, and purposes discussed in the Joint Exercise of Powers
Agreement, as is and may be amended, (the "IPA") and which formed the Water Authority
(the "Common Interest")
2. In pursuit of the Common Interest, each of the Parties recognizes that the ability to freely
share data, reports, studies, communications, and memoranda, and to coordinate their efforts
related to the Common Interest without waiving any privilege or confidentiality of said
information, will be greatly enhanced by the abilities of the respective Parties' employees,
experts, and legal counsel to communicate about these matters. At the same time, the Parties
recognize that certain proceedings may very likely take place in front of federal or state
agencies, other administrative entities, and courts of law. This recognition makes it
imperative that the associated communication between the Parties and their respective
experts and legal counsel associated with these matters remain privileged and confidential.
Thus, the Parties each have an interest in sharing materials as further defined below,
including but not limited to: data, modelling, assumptions, legal analyses, draft: and final
studies and plans, contingencies, and negotiation strategy associated with the Common
Interest, all of which are considered by the Parties to be information covered by this
Agreement.
3. Each of the Parties have consulted their respective attorneys both for separate purposes and
for purposes within the Common Interest. The Parties believe that disclosure of certain
privileged information among the Parties will advance the Common Interest (including legal
interests), will further the interest of the disclosing Party, and is reasonably necessary to
accomplish the purpose for which the disclosing Party's attorney was consulted. In this
regard, the Parties wish to continue to pursue both their separate interests and the Common
Interest, and to avoid any suggestions or claims of waiver of the protections of the attorney-
client privilege, the work -product doctrine, and all other privileges or confidences, as are
applicable.
4. The Water Executive Committee of the Water Authority may appoint an attorney licensed to
practice law in California who shall then serve at the pleasure of the Water Authority. Until
such appointment, and in accordance with the JPA, the City shall provide legal counsel to the
Water Authority. Any such attorney shall act as counsel for the Water Authority until such
time as the Water Executive Committee appoint a replacement counsel. The Parties, and each
of them, acknowledge that joint representation of the Water Authority and any of the
Members can constitute a conflict of interest and may raise issues associated with the duty of
loyalty, client communication, and duty of confidentiality. It is the expectation of the Parties
that the Water Authority will be staffed by staff persons working for the Members,
particularly the City of Ukiah. In addition, the Water Executive Committee, the legislative
body of the Water Authority, is made up of by directors of the Members. In addition, the
Parties are sophisticated in their provisioning of legal services. For these reasons, the Parties
are in good positions to evaluate this conflict of interest and by the approval of this
Agreement the governing boards of the Parties agree to waive such potential conflicts of
interest. In the event of actual litigation between any of the Parties, each Member shall be
permitted to continue to retain its own counsel, but the Authority will be required to retain
independent counsel. Legal counsel for the Water Authority, whether independent or
provided by a Member, shall work cooperatively with Water Authority staff but shall report
to the Water Executive Committee.
5. In order to effectively pursue matters related to the Common Interest, the Parties agree that,
from time to time, the Common Interest is best served by exchanging oral, electronic, and/or
written communications or documents which, in the absence of such sharing, would be
protected from disclosure to any third party by the attorney -client privilege, the work product
doctrine, the exceptions to disclosure provided to public agencies by the California Public
Records Act, and/ or other applicable privilege or basis for maintaining material within the
Common Interest as confidential. All such shared information is considered by the Parties,
and will be treated in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, as "Common
Interest Material."
b. The purpose of this Agreement is to ensure that the exchange or disclosure of Common
Interest Material in furtherance of the Common Interest does not diminish in any way the
confidentiality of the Common Interest Material or be deemed to constitute a waiver of any
privilege or other protection accorded to the Common Interest Material, and the Parties
hereby declare their intent that no sharing of infonnation as set forth above shall waive the
attorney -client privilege, the attorney work product doctrine, any exception applicable under
the CPRA, and/ or other applicable privilege, confidence, or basis for maintaining the
Common Interest Material as confidential.
7. Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to require that any Party share any particular
information or material, including Common Interest Material, with any other Party, or to
create or establish any right of any Party to request or demand any information or material,
including Common Interest Material, from another Party.
8. All written materials exchanged in accordance with this Agreement shall be clearly marked
"PRIVILEGED AND CONFIDENTIAL — SUBJECT TO COMMON INTEREST
AGREEMENT." The Parties shall use their best efforts to so mark all such written materials,
and shall instruct all attorneys, paralegals, clerical, consultants, experts, and other personnel
as to this requirement; provided, however, that failure to mark such exchanged materials
shall not be treated as waiving any applicable privilege as to any materials not so marked.
This requirement for marking of materials is prospective in nature and does not apply to
materials previously exchanged pursuant to oral common interest agreements which did not
include a requirement for such marking.
9. The Parties agree that this Agreement also pertains to information shared prior to this
Agreement and in pursuance of the Common Interest. To the extent the Parties have
previously agreed to a common interest and to share information in pursuance of that
common interest, all information shared under such prior agreement(s) shall continue to be
protected by all applicable privileges. This Agreement memorializes any earlier oral
agreement(s) and incorporates and supersedes any prior written or oral agreements between
any of the Parties pursuant to which Common Interest Material has been exchanged.
10. Except as expressly stated in writing to the contrary, any and all Common Interest Material
obtained by any of the counsel from each other and/ or each other's clients has been and is
being provided solely for the internal use of the Parties and their respective counsel in
pursuance of the Common Interest and shall remain confidential and be protected from
disclosure to any third party by the common interest privilege, the common interest doctrine,
the respective Party's attorney client privilege, the attorneys' work product privilege, and/ or
any other applicable privileges, confidences, and immunities.
11. All Common Interest Material shall be used solely in pursuance of the Common Interest;
provided, however, that nothing in this paragraph shall limit the rights of the originating
Party with regard to the use of information developed by that Party or its counsel, without
using or relying upon Common Interest Material, whether or not shared with the other Party,
in any manner it wishes; provided further, no Party is required to treat information or
material obtained from sources other than exchanges pursuant to this Agreement as Common
Interest Material.
12. All communications, oral and written, between the Parties in matters related to the Common
Interest, or among or between necessary persons acting on their behalf, including, but not
limited to, counsel for the Parties and their paralegals, consultants, experts, agents, or others
acting on behalf of a Party or the Parties in matters related to the Common Interest are
conclusively presumed to be made pursuant to this Agreement and to convey Common
Interest Material; unless, however, a Party to such communication, at the outset of such
communication, specifies that the particular communication is not being made pursuant to
this Agreement.
13. Each Party will take all necessary and appropriate measures to ensure that any person who is
granted access to any Common Interest Material, or who participates in work on joint
projects in pursuance of the common interest, or who otherwise assists counsel in connection
with the performance of this Agreement, is familiar with the terms of this Agreement and
complies with such terms as they relate to the duties of such person. Any such person shall,
prior to accessing Common Interest Material, sign the attached Individual Acknowledgment
and Agreement, and the Party Representative shall attest to that person's participation in the
Common Interest and distribute an executed copy of the Individual Acknowledgment and
Agreement to the other Parties.
14. The Parties agree that, in the event any Party determines it no longer shares, or no longer will
share, the Common Interest with the other Parties for any reason, that Party will promptly
notify the other Parties of its intent to withdraw from this Agreement. The notice shall be
given in accordance with this Agreement and the issuance of the notice of withdrawal shall
terminate the Party's interest in this Agreement; provided, however, that the obligation of
confidentiality and privilege with respect to Common Interest Material previously provided
pursuant to this Agreement shall survive such withdrawal and termination.
15. If a Party or person identified in Sections 1 or 13 becomes subject to a bona fide requirement
by law, regulation, deposition question, interrogatory, request for public information, records,
or documents, including under the California Public Records Act, subpoena, civil
investigative demand, or similar process (collectively, a "Requirement") to disclose any
Common Interest Material, such Party: (i) will, upon receipt of the Requirement and prior to
producing any Common Interest Material, immediately notify the other Parties of the
existence, terms, and circumstances of such Requirement to the extent permitted by law and
in accordance with that Party's legal counsel; and (ii) will cooperate fully with any other
Party seeking a protective order. The Party that received the Requirement shall determine
whether the requested or demanded Common Interest Material can be protected in
accordance with the law. If, in the opinion of that Party, the requested or demanded Common
Interest Material is not exempt from disclosure or production, that Party shall promptly notify
the other Parties, each of whom shall have the right to seek a protective order that may be
based upon a privilege the Party that received the Requirement might hold. If such an order is
sought, the Party that received the Requirement will refrain from disclosing the requested or
demanded Common Interest Material until such time as a final disclosure agreement or
judicial determination is made concerning the Requirement; provided, however, that the
Party that received the Requirement shall not be required to refrain from disclosing the
requested or demanded Common Interest Material if doing so would violate the law. The
costs and expenses for seeking any protective order pursuant to this paragraph shall only be
borne by the Party(ies) opposing the Requirement. If a Party subject to a Requirement, who
has complied with the notification and cooperation obligations described in this paragraph, is
compelled, in the opinion of its legal counsel, to make disclosure of Common Interest
Material or else stand liable for contempt or other substantial penalty, such Party: (i) will
furnish only that portion of the Common Interest Material which is legally required pursuant
to the terms of such Requirement as modified by any protective order; and (ii) will not be
liable to any other Party for the disclosure of Common Interest Material. The Parties intend
to consider sharing costs and other resources involved in protecting Common Interest
Material from improper disclosure. The Parties acknowledge that such costs cannot be shared
exactly equally all the time; therefore, should a Party that received a Requirement believe the
costs of preventing improper disclosure of Common Interest Material are, have become, or
will become disproportionate, the Parties agree to jointly consult to discuss whether and to
what extent such costs should be shared.
16. Each of the Parties understands and acknowledges that each respective Party is represented
exclusively by the Party's own counsel with respect to the Common Interest and that nothing
in this Agreement transforms counsel for any Party into counsel for any other Party or creates
an attorney -client relationship with any counsel other than the Party's own counsel. Each
party also understands and acknowledges that counsel representing another Party owes an
uncompromising duty of loyalty to its client and to no other Party, and that while all counsel
subject to this Agreement have a duty to preserve the confidences disclosed to them pursuant
to this Agreement, they will not act for any Party other than their own client with respect to
the Common Interest.
17. Participation in this Agreement or in any effort related to the Common Interest shall not be
the basis for a claim of conflict of interest or for recusal in any proceeding in which the
Parties are or may be adverse to each other or where counsel for the Parties may represent
adverse interests. The obligations under this paragraph will survive the termination or
dissolution of this Agreement and will continue to bind each Party should that Party
withdraw from this Agreement.
18. The obligations of the Parties with respect to any aspect of the protection of Common
Interest Material from improper disclosure survive the withdrawal of a Party for any reason
and survive the complete resolution of any action or proceeding related to the Common
Interest.
19. This Agreement shall not constitute or be interpreted, construed, or used as evidence of any
admission of liability, law, or fact, a waiver of any right or defense, or an estoppel against
any Party. However, nothing in this Agreement is intended or should be construed to limit,
bar, or otherwise impede the resolution of any dispute between the Parties.
20. The effective date of this Agreement shall be the date it is executed by the Parties.
21. All modifications of this Agreement must be in writing and signed by an authorized
representative of each Party.
22. Additional parties may be added to this Agreement upon: a) approval by the Water Executive
Committee; and b) valid execution by the additional party; provided, however, that any such
additional party first executes the JPA and is thus a Member of the Water Authority.
23. This Agreement shall be interpreted under the substantive laws of the State of California
without regard to choice -of -law principles. If any provision of this Agreement is found
invalid or unenforceable, then the balance of this Agreement shall remain in full force and
effect.
24. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to waive any rights, claims, or privileges which
any Party shall have against the other party or any other person or entity.
25. This Agreement does not form a joint venture or partnership by or among the Parties. Unless
otherwise expressly agreed to in writing by the Parties, no Party shall be entitled to
compensation or reimbursement from any other Party for the participation of its employees,
officers, agents, servants, contractors, or attorneys in the defense of any threatened or
asserted claims subject to this Agreement or for the costs of participation in this Agreement.
26. This Agreement may be signed in separate counterparts, each of which shall be binding on all
Parties who are signatory to any counterpart.
27. The Parties hereby authorize this Agreement to be executed upon the facsimile or electronic
signatures of the authorized representatives of the respective Parties and agree that such
facsimile or electronic signature shall be valid and binding as though original signatures had
been provided.
28. All notices pursuant to this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be given using one of the
following methods: hand -delivery; registered or certified mail, postage pre -paid, return
receipt requested; nationally recognized courier service; or e-mail. Any notice shall be
deemed delivered five (5) business days after such mailing date, except that any notice hand -
