SUBJECT: Bylaws of the Southern California Association of Governments
Enclosed are two copies of the 15yl&ws for the Southern California Association of Governments
and a copy of the Joint Exercise of Powers Agreement which :dill be necessary for your city
to approve and sign in order to officially become a member of the SCAG organization. Also
enclosed is a short summary of some of the significant sections of the SCAG Bylaws. These
Bylaws and Agreement have been drafted after a year and a half of study by a committee of
city officials selected from the various regional League Divisicns encompassed in the six-
county area
The Southern California Association of Governments is a completely advisory organization
which is to include the six counties of Imperial, Orange, Riverside, San Bernardino, Los
Angeles and Ventura and all of the cities contained therein. SCAG has been patterned
closely after an existing organization in northern CF,iiornia known as the Association of
Bay Area Governments. The concept of a regional association governments is not unique
just to the State of California as similar organizations are in operation in at least ten
other areas of the country. Current information has shown that the experience of these
associations in discussing and solving regional problems has been successful. The
purpose of SCAG will be for existing governmental jurisdictions to meet together to
discuss and attempt to resolve problems that are regional in nature, with the primary
concentration of their studies being in the field of planning.
It is anticipated that SCAG will have both a relatively small budget and a minimum
staff. Aa you will note in the Bylaws, dues will be assessed to the constituent members
on the basis of population. The experience of the Association of Bay Area Governments
in regard to financing was that their initial budget was in the neighborhood of $30, 000
and included a staff of an executive director and a secretary. Fcllowing four yea-•a of
operation, the annual dues of this association have remained substantially the same.
It is earnestly requested that your city council review the SCAG proposal and Bylaws
and complete the necessary agreement. When your city has taken action, we request v
that you forward the agreement to the president of your League Division! When 50
per cent of the cities within the six cov-~`v area and 50 per cent of the counties favorably
approve the Joint Exercise of Powers .,,:oreement, the Southern California Association of
Governments will be formally established. At this point, each member city and county
will be contacted concerning the time and place of the initial organization meeting;
and will be requested to appoint an official representative from the"~ governing body.
During this early formation stage, your city will periodically receive newsletters
advising you as to the progress of the SCAG organization and any new developments
regarding it.
We hope to be able to have the organizational meeting during the latter months of this
year and we, therefore, urge that your city council take action on this matter before
the 31st of October. This date has been set as the target date for reaching our 50 per
cent figure Your interest and assistance in participating in this important matter is
deeply appreciated.
bincerely,
Dallas Williams, Chairman
Joint League Intergovernmental
Cooperation Committee

Dear Mr. Jones:
Thank you Very much for your City' s Resolution No. 1268,
asking the Southern California Association of Governments
to adopt a policy position of opposing both State and
Federal legislation which does not recognize local
government in the decision-making process.
This position has historically been held by the
Executive Committee of this Association, and at our
meeting of December 10, the Executive Committee by
unanimous action reaffirmed that position.
We strongly concur that in any legislation which would
affect the conduct of the affairs on the local level,
that the elected representatives from general-purpose
governments must be intimately involved in the policy
positions.
Sincerely,

Dear Mayor Shipley:
Subject: Merger of Transportation and Planning
Activities of TASC and SCAG
In 1964 the Transportation Association of Southern California consisting
of Cities and Counties within the six-county area of Los Angeles, Ventura,
Orange, San Bernardino, Riverside and Imperial Counties was forded. TASC
was designed to meet the requirements of Section 134, Title 23 of the United
States Code that each urban region establish a continuous comprehensive trans-
portation planning process as a prerequisite to eligibility for Federal trans-
portation funds.
The Southern California Association of Governments was formed in 1965
for the purpose of studying and developing recommendations for action on all
regional problems within the same six-county area.
Over the years it has become apparent that area-wide transportation
planning could be greatly improved by merging the transportation planning
activities of TASC with those of SCAG.
In February, 1970, both TASC AND SCAG adopted resolutions expressing their
intention to merge the comprehensive transportation planning process for the
Southern California region into SCAG. On October 9, 1970 a Memorandum of
Understanding was executed by the State of California and SCAG approving the
merger of the area-wide transportation planning activities, the merger to be
effective upon the dissolution of TASC
In order to complete the merger, it will be necessary for at least a
majority of the governing bodies of each of the Cities and Counties who are
members of TASC to adopt a resolution consenting to the dissolution of TASC.
A draft of such a resolution is enclosed for your consideration and action.
When the merger of the transportation planning effort is complete, the
Executive Board of TASC will become the Comprehensive Transportation Planning
Committee of SCAG. This committee will continue to represent each city's and
county's transportation interests regardless of whether a city or county is,
has been, or remains a member of SCAG and/or TASC. (See Section II, Paragraph
B, Item No. 1 , in the Memorandum of Understanding). SCAG may enlarge the com-
mittee up to a maximum of twenty members. It is intended that additional z
Mayor Shipley -2- November 23, 1970
members (elected officials) will be added to provide experience in all modes
of transportation including airports, railroads and harbors. The Los Angeles
Regional Transportation Study (LARTS) will continue its planning studies under
the policy guidance of SCAG through the new Comprehensive Transportation Plan-
ning Committee. This should insure coordinated and effective planning for
regional transportation in the Southern California area.
We urge your early consideration of this matter and your prompt action
on the adoption of a resolution consenting to the dissolution of TASC. When
the resolution is adopted, please send a certified copy to:

The formation_ of the Association came as the result of official
actions on the part of the governing bodies of each of its constit-
uent members acting under the "joint exercise of powers" provision
of the Goverr_ment Code of the State of Californ_=a.
At the inaugural meeting the general assembly (1) adopted its by-
laws; (2) elected officers; and (3) approved a budget and schedule
of dues. Further, it empowered the Executive Committee to take
such other actions as are deemed necessary ';o the accomplishment
of the aims of the organization.
As President of the Southern California Association of Governments
I have been directed to call the fact of SCAGIs formation to the {
official attention of your office . To this end I am enclosing with
this letter (1) 'the Bylaws; (2) the instrument of agreement; and
(3) a roster of the charter members of the association.
As noted in the Bylaws, "the Southern California Association of
Governments is established. . .for study and development of recom-
mendations regarding the orderly physical development of the ,
Southern California region."
To this end we are beginning at once with the steps necessary to
the structure and coordination of area-wide comprehensive planning.
In the furtherance of these aims we wish to cooperate to the fullest
extent with those agencies active in the planning functions at all
levels of government.

For example, at the State level, the Transportation Association of
Southern California (1ASC) has provided in its bylaws that when
SCAG is organized that the State Transportation Agency Adminis-
trator may enter into an agreement with 3CAG for this organization
to carry out the transportation planning process in this region.
It is further provided that a' such time TYSC shall become a
standing committee of th:. Southern California Association of
Go; . rximents
Because your of.L"ice is concerned with matters of this nature at the
federal level there are of course many other stems that are Uf
immediate mutual concern
For example, it has come to our attention -that several jurisdic-
tions in this region_ have made application to your department for
certain grants-in-aid and that it has been necessary to withhold
action on some of these pending the designation or recognition of
a cooperative agency of local governments that is performing a.
general planning functicn in this region. Please _note that SCAG
does not seek to be a referee or arbiter with regard to such_ ap-
plications. But if the fact of our existence will assist these:
applicants we would be pleased to have so helped expedite the
matter.
Although we do not have full knowledge of the criteria that Congress
or your office may have estaiolished in this regard, we hereby call to
your attention the fact that our association_ is now functioning and
in all liklihood satisfies such criteria. It is apparent that sonie
action of recognition or dezignation on year part would possibly
help to expedite applications for grants-ir_-a.id submitted by various
Jurisdictions in this region.
Therefore, we respectfully call your attention to these matters and
ask that you advise us at your earliest opportunity as to what
action the Department can take in this regard.
Very truly yours,
SOUTHERN CA.LiFORNIA. ASSOCIATION OF GOVERNMENTS

A discussion of SJi 856 was helm aand Chaim an B,iltt�r on Ray PrQuter to read:
a summary he hard prepared of this is !le The provisforis of S8856 as passed ar,s, I-
That the State has a positive intereht in pcepaarirq, ane.. uiaintaining general plan-
ning, for the development of urb.'xn areas Jro.r what gaa.i.J tnce of, affect,,d local g awr-
erwTient units. 2r ThaaL zegional plaruring di,-,L- icts sbzl,l be a3erertine,0 by the
Sta Le tlfftce of Planning 3-For the ozganirat;ioTd of the goveraaiar£ tac+dics of the
planning, regions, ,as eaLabliarhod Ly the !itaatea 4-12ropurtional repte:secnLa.tiou can
the governing bodies of region;A planning dist;:ict s. 5-1'or= an initial t:4 x rate
of .005 cent;r per $100.00.. From the atcandpri;nt of hrarrie raffle, ene !State Planning
Law has the following serioq�s jnrpltcaticrns:
Am Local. Governments lease control over; the boundaries of a resRional planning
district: in v4ich they arc_, invol.vcd.
B- Local governmental_ o•ffi.-J is lose corrtra.l of the organization of diatxitts
establi;,;hed by than Stzttf,:.
C Equality of representation is lost. Proportional representation is not:
germane, aaecessaxy, or desirable for regional planning,
G- A tax rate is provided.
E- Tax rates are established by the: it::ate Legislature rather than the locaal
governmental agencies concerned* though such rates must ire levied by City
Councils and Boards of 5upea vi t orfi.
F The Mate having a sLata d positive. interest; it is Inevitable that, as
time passes, the State will increasingly in-sect itself irk".0 local planning.
The summary further states that S13856, when vl,""jed rxfrethar with the initial pro-
visions of- the Local. Agencies hill and theWestside Freevlay mill rrlri.+;h raro+rI _d
Zor zpnIng reviow by the State r)iv4::i.aar of 1{ig'law t}*zi Rcltan� tha* strut c �i' the fraae-
way, represents One Of the; most direct~ att<aclfs on home rule in rc,ct nt years.
Fortunately we are uot helpless in this situation since: the state ploint"Eing IA'
does not become effective until mid-Septcrosber.
SB856 provides that where a regional planning district already exists, patt£ci.Rated
in by 2/3 of the cities and counties within the boundaries of such district., pur-
suant to joint exercise of powers, then the provisions of SB 856 do ►tot apply.
To this grid the Channel. Division and orange Division of the. League have been
exploring with the Southern Califortaia Supervisors Association the establishment
of za Southern californiaMwide governmental a:asociati.on which will serve as a
regional planning district as one of its functions. There are many obvious bene-
fits such as-
Control over planning will remain with local. entities.
The State would have no jurisdiction.
No tax rate would be necessary.
