SUBJECT: Fourth Amendment to the Joint Exercise of Powers
Agreement for the Delta Advisory Planning Council
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) a BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
I. RECOMMENDED ACTION
Approve and authorize the Chairman of the Board to sign the Fourth Amendment to
the Joint Exercise of Powers Agreement (of October, 1972) establishing the Delta
Advisory Planning Council .
II. FINANCIAL IMPACT
None.
III. REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION
The amendment is sponsored by the DAPC Executive Board, which consists of DAPC's
Chairman and a Supervisor from each of the five member counties, including
Supervisor Tom Torlakson from Contra Costa County. It would enable each of the
five Supervisor-members to appoint his or her own alternate, who need not be
another Supervisor and who would be limited to representing the Supervisor-member
at one-half of DAPC's yearly meetings. The amendment was initiated because the
current JoTnt Exercise of Powers ' Agreement requires the attendance of a majority
of the Supervisor-members (three) for a quorum, but this is not always possible.
IV. BACKGROUND
Despite the attendance of a majority of its members, DAPC has frequently lacked a
quorum at its meetings because its JEPA specifies , among other quorum requirements ,
that a majority of its Supervisor-members must be present. Often , their absences
result from last-minute conflicts which preclude the attendance of Supervisor-
alternates. The amendment was devised to allow the appointment of non-Supervisor
alternates , but to limit them to substitute for their principal members at no more
than one-half of a year' s meetings to ensure the general participation of the
Supervisor-members in the organization.
V. CONSEQUENCES OF A NEGATIVE ACTION
The Boards of Supervisors of all five member Counties must approve the amendment
to adopt it.
