WHEREAS, although the ruling is being appealed, the California Association of Joint
Powers Authorities is sponsoring SB 1153 is order to protect the solvency of other such
JPA's; and
WHEREAS, the proposed legislation specifies that governmental entities insured under
a joint powers agreement, including those entities conducting fairs and exhibitions, are not

peril was insured or the entity was covered, unless the JPA or contract so specifies; and
WHEREAS, the San Diego Pooled Insurance Program Authority has requested Chula

San Diego Pooled Insurance Program Authority (SANDPIPA); and
WHEREAS, the Legislative Committee recommends that the Council take a position of
"support" on SB 1153.
