Subject:

Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG) General Assembly Delegate and Alternate Appointment

RECOMMENDATION

Appoint a Delegate and Alternate to represent the City during the Annual SCAG General Assembly (GA).

BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION

Founded in 1965, the Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG) is a Joint Powers Authority under California state law, established as an association of local governments and agencies that voluntarily convene as a forum to address regional issues.

The SCAG region encompasses six counties (Imperial, Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside, San Bernardino and Ventura) and 191 cities in an area covering more than 38,000 square miles. The agency develops long-range regional transportation plans including sustainable communities strategy and growth forecast components, regional transportation improvement programs, regional housing needs allocations and a portion of the South Coast Air Quality management plans.

Each year, the City Council appoints a Delegate and Alternate Representative to attend the SCAG General Assembly (GA) to vote on any policy matter for determination by the General Assembly in the form of a proposed Resolution and/or to propose revisions to the SCAG Bylaws. All proposed Resolutions and/or Bylaw revisions will be reviewed by the SCAG Bylaws and Resolutions Committee and the Regional Council before being considered at the GA meeting, scheduled for May 3, 2018.

RESPECTFULLY SUBMITTED:

William Gallardo, City Manager
