DESCRIPTION) Finance: Council Notes: J c- ~_ - ci'(; 'OF SAN BERNARDlawo - REQUI!~ FOR COUNCIL AC-hbN STAFF REPORT Subject: First Amendment to Joint Exercise of Powers Agreement creating the Civic Center Authority Date: October 19, 1987 BACKGROUND At their meeting of August 25, 1987, the members of the Civic Center Authority Commission voted to request the three parties to the Joint Exercise of Powers Agreement which created the Civic Center Authority to adopt the First Amendment to the Agreement to change the designated quorum of the Civic Center Authority Commission from four members to three members. The San Bernardino Civic Center Authority was created in 1970 under a joint exercise of powers agreement between the City of San Bernardino, the Redevelopment Agency of the City of San Bernardino, and the County of San Bernardino. The purpose of the Authority is to enable the City, County and Redevelopment Agency to exercise their powers jointly in providing for the development of the Central City Area as a comprehensive Civic Center Complex for City, County, State and Federal buildings and including, without limitation, public buildings and accessory structures for City and County, together with parking facilities, various private areas, walks, landscaping I parks and other facilities necessary and desirable for a downtown civic center complex. Over the years, there has been difficulty assuring that a quorum would be available for the infrequent meetings of the Commission. Although an amendment to the Joint Exercise of Powers Agreement was proposed many years ago, it was not acted on by all parties to the agreement I and the quorum remains four members (see page 3, Attachment A). The other parties to the joint powers agreement, the County of San Bernardino and the Redevelopment Agency of the City of San Bernardino, were contacted regarding scheduling adoption of the proposed Amendment to the agreement. The County requested that the language of the proposed First Amendment be modified to require that one member of the quorum of three be a County appointed member of the Commission. This request has been incorporated into the language before the City Council and is acceptable to the County. RECOMMENDATION That the City Council adopt a resolution directing the execution of an Amendment of the Joint Exercise of Powers Agreement for the San Bernardino Civic Center Authority which authorizes a quorum of three (3), one of whom must be a representative of the County. 75-0264 - C' " , J - ,,.} Request for Council Action Amendment to Joint Exercise of Powers Agreement - Civic Center Authority October 19, 1987 Prepared by: R.
