The Council, however, did not endorse adding four ex-officio members, believing instead that these entities, namely, the San Diego Unified Port District, School Districts and Special Districts within the region, always have the ability to submit arguments, make comments and request action on the part of the CPO Board and that this was a proper and appropriate means for them to do so. It was also the Council's opinion that the designation of ex-officio members could be the forerunner of full membership instituted by the State Legislature as in the case of the Local Agency Formation Commission. rVIITT) TT[~ CAll1D11J Agreement Resolution X Ordinance Plat Notification List Other ENVIRONMENTAL DOCUMENT: Attached Submitted on FINANCIAL IMPACT STAFF RECOMMENDATION Adopt resolution and forward to CPO. BOARD/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION COUNCIL ACTION ~" „~ 1 ~ L'':' t~"i~~ CiCti' ~,C;~~;1Cii Cf C~:;,u Vista, C~?' - ~i :;~~,, Form A-113 (Rev. 5/77) CITY OF CHULA VISTA COUNCIL AGENDA STATEMENT Item No. 1'6a For meeting of 9/4/79 ITEM TITLE Report on CPO Name Change and Addition of Ex-Officio Members SUBMITTED BY City Manager ITEM EXPLANATION (4/5TH'S VOTE REQUIRED YES N0~) A request has been received from the CPO Board asking that each member city consider an amend- ment to the CPO Joint Powers Agreement that would change the official designation of "CPO" to the "San Diego Council of Governments" (SANCOG). Before the change can occur, all current signatories to the JPA must execute a third amendment to the JPA. A second matter, which would also require an amendment, pertains to adding four (4) ex-officio members to the Board as follows: One member from the San Diego Unified Port District Board; One member representing the School Districts within the region; and Tvvo members representing Special Districts within the region. The CPO Board does not propose the change at this time, but requests comments on the proposal prior to their September 17, 1979 meeting. The name change amendment appears insignificant on the surface, and may be a better reflection of the "purpose, functions and organization" of the agency. Those who are more skeptical of CPO and its purpose may see the name chance as a move toward a stron er re Tonal g g government. Staff recognizes that such concerns are genuine but, as a practical matter, we believe the regional agency will continue to gain more power and influence regardless of name. The name of the organization probably will have little bearing on how rapidly this will occur. We therefore believe the City Council should concur in the amendment and direct the appropriate resolution be prepared. Jn the second issue, staff believes it is entirely appropriate to provide for ex-officio representation of the Port, School, and Special Districts in the region. While ex-officic representation could eventually lead to full membership, as in the case of LAFCO, the work of ,PO certainly requires communication and coordination between general purpose and special purpose ~~vovnmontc 1.1..

The first item is an amendment to the CPO Joint Powers Agreement (attached). This amendment will require review ar>Id formal action by your Council. The purpose of this amendment is limited to changing the name of the Can- prehensive Planning Organization (CPO) in orr3er to more accurately reflect the purpose, functions, and organization of the joint powers agency. This amendment in rio way reflects any change in the powers or responsi- bilities of the organization. This amendment, when executed by all of the voting member agencies of the CPO, would change the organization's nave to the San Diego Council of Governments (SANCOG). The amendment language should not be changed. If either you, or your Council, have any questions about the language of the amendment, do not hesitate to contact Debra Greenfield, CPO Counsel, at 236-5366. Please docket this amendment for consideration by your Council as soon as possible, preferably before September 14, 1979. When reviewed and approved by your Council, kirx3ly forward a copy of the authorizing resolution or action to CPO. The second item deals with the addition of new ex-officio (non-voting) members to the CPO Board of Directors. The Board would like do receive your Council's comaments on this proposal prior to CPO Board action on the matter which is scheduled for September 17. Specifically, the proposal is to add the following ex-officio members to the Board: A. One member of the San Diego Unified Port District Board of Commissioners B. CG--e member representing the school districts within the region C. Two members representing special districts within the region SAN DIEGO REGION'S COUNCIL OF GOVERNMENTS Member Agencies: Cities of Carlsbad, Chula Vista, Coronado, Del Mar, EI Cajon, Imperial Beach, La Mesa, Lemon Grove, National City, Oceanside, San Diego, San Marcos, Vista, and County of San Diego/Ex-officio Member: California Department of Transportation/Honorary Member: Tijuana, B. CFA. Page 2 The rationale for these additional members, which has been discussed by the Board, is the need to improve corunun ication and coon-3ination between local general purpose governments and special purpose government agencies. Again, please forward a copy of your Council's action on the Joint Powers Agreanent amendment, and their caiunents on the addition of ex-officio members to CRS as soon as possible, but no lager than September 14, 1979.
