Wentworth City Clerk AMW:CB:jts 5 TO: Mayor and City C ouncilmen in the r:ounties of Imperial, Orange, Riverside, San Bernardino, Los Angeles, and Ventura. 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 r.

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.

Da City ,sepx( City Manager/City Clerk fc i SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA ASSOCIATION OF GOVERNMENTS G REGIONAL COOPERATION FOR REGIONAL PROBLEMS 1111 WEST SIXTH STREET•SUITE 400 LOS ANGELES• CALIFORNIA -90017 • 213/481-0095 �2 l / November 23, 1970 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: Southern California Association of Governments 1111 West Sixth Street Los Angeles, California 90017 Attention: W. T.

I. RECITALS SCAG is an agency voluntarily established by its members pursuant to the Joint Exercise of Powers Act for the purpose of providing a forum for discussion, study and development of recommendations on regional problems of mutual interest and con- cern regarding the orderly physical development of the Southern California Region, The Transportation Association of Southern California (TASC) was established voluntarily as an agency by its members pursuant to the Agreement dated August 24, 1964, and amended September 11, 1968, and executed by the State Transportation Agency, Southern California Rapid Transit District, the Counties of Imperial, Los Angeles, Orange, San Bernardino, Riverside, and Ventura, and cer- tain cities in said county for the purpose of providing a forum for discussion, study and development of plans and problems of mutual interest and concern to some or all parties to the Agree- ment regarding the development of transportation systems embracing various modes of transport of people and goods in a manner that would serve the state and local communities efficiently and 1 1 Effectively as a continuing comprehensive transportation planning pr.oces s. The. General Assembly of SCAG and the Area Coordinating (;ommi l"Lue of TASC by resolution have declared it to be in the best interests of the state and local agencies to clarify and simplify t-•he present institutional arrangements in the interests of strengthening the continuing, coordinated transportation planning process within the six-county region, encompassing Imperial, Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside, San Bernardino, and Ventura Counties. The Congress has enacted Section 134 to Chapter 1 of Title 23, U. S. Code, declaring it to be in the national interest to encourage and promote the development of transportation systems embracing various modes of transport-, in a manner which will serve the states and local communities efficiently and effectively and which is based on a continuing, comprehensive transportation planning process carried on cooperatively by states and local communities. The Los Angeles Regional Transportation Study (LARTS) and LARTS Advisory Committee were established in. January, 1960. It is acknowledged that it is necessary to continue these activities in order to remain qualified for federal-aid funds under the terms of the Federal-Aid Highway Act (Section 134, Chapter 1, Title 24, U. S. Code) . II. UNDERSTANDING NuW, THEREFORE, the Southern California Association of 1• 2 (lovernments, hereinafter referred to as SCAG, and :.he State of Gallf'ornia, acting by and through the lousiness and 'Transportation Agency, hereinafter referred to as the State, do mutually agree as follows: A.

The parties mutually agree that official delegates to the Transportation Association of Southern California Arca Coordinating Committee as of the effective date of this agreement representing cities who are not members of SCAG shall be entitled to discuss and to vote on all transportation matters coming before the General Assembly of SCAG as if they were, for this purpose, official delegates subject to SCAG bylaws. III. AGENCY RESPONSIBILITIES INTACT One purpose of this agreement is to arrange for the efficient coordinated use of the resources of the various agencies with transportation responsibilities in the SCAG region.

C. 20410 Dear Mr. Fischer: Or February 24, 1966, elected officials representing eighty-five cities and six counties met together in general assembly and com- pleted the formation_ of the Southern California Association of Governments. 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. a AWL Mr. Victor Fischer, Director March 9, 1966 Page 2 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.

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. No tax wtruld be levied in our name, when we do not control the establishment of the rate. Planning would. be 4one by those most cognizant of needs# and most aware of local conditions, Planning would be more coordinated with areas of conflict resolved at the local level, by local officla.ls. End of Summat"f. It was the general concen;sus of opinion tut this ansaori:ation should notify the Secretary of State that a regional planning organization is active and functioning; at this time in order that a protest to SD856 may be filed, Mr. Baker will uheclt i-rith Mr. MacDougall on the procedure for filir,g a protest. A discussion of the consideration of bylaws followed, the material agreed upon to be turned over to the County Counsel for drafting.
