4.2 Signatories. The parties signing this MOU (Signatories) constitute the
current participants.

5. Mutual Understandings

5.1 Participation. Participation is strictly voluntary and may be terminated
at any time without recourse. San Gorgonio Pass local governments
and water purveyors will be invited to become Signatories.

5.2 Activities. Efforts pursued under this agreement will remain consistent
with and will not exceed the current authority for any individual
participating local government and water purveyors. Efforts will include
information dissemination and sharing between local governments,
water purveyors, public outreach, education, and other activities as
mutually agreed upon among the Signatories.

5.2.1 It is anticipated that the Signatories will meet at least monthly
with subcommittee meetings occurring between full Alliance
meetings.

5.3 Funding. Individual Signatories are not required to commit funding to
any other Signatory of the Alliance. Recognizing this is a voluntary,
non-binding agreement; Signatories agree to commit such resources
as are required to implement actions agreed upon per Section 5.4
herein within their individual service areas, subject to approval and
direction of the governing bodies of each Signatory.

5.4 Decision Making. Consensus will be sought when the need for decisions
arises. Decisions lacking consensus may be implemented by such
individual Signatories that choose to do so, but said decisions are not
required to be considered activities of the Alliance.

5.5 Non-binding Nature. This document and participation under this MOU
are non-binding, and in no way suggest that a local municipal
government or water purveyor may not continue its own activities as
each government and purveyor is expected to continue its own policies
and procedures, and undertake efforts to secure project funding from
any source. A local government or water purveyor may withdraw from
participation at any time.

5.6 Termination. Signatories may terminate their involvement at any time
with no recourse.
