$. 4/J- / REPORT To the Honorable Mayor and City Council From the City Manager July 25, 2005 Subject Proposed First Amendment to Peninsula Traffic Congestion Relief Alliance Joint Powers Agreement. Recommendation Approve the First Amendment to the Joint Powers Agreement to provide flexibility in the structure of committees and to allow additional cities to join the Peninsula Traffic Congestion Relief Alliance. Background The Peninsula Congestion Relief Alliance ("Alliance") was established in 2000 to assist the public and private sectors with reducing traffic congestion and air pollution, The PCRA was created through a Joint Powers Agreement (JPA) between fifteen cities in the County of San Mateo. The County of San Mateo and the City of Atherton, neither of which are currently parties to the JPA, have requested to join the Alliance. The towns of Hillsborough and Woodside may also decide at a later date to join the Alliance. The JPA is being amended to provide for the addition of these new members and to increase the flexibility of the current committee structure. Previous sections establishing a "Supervisory Committee" and an "Advisory Council" have been deleted and replaced with one provision that broadly addresses "Committees," This change provides the Board discretion to establish committees as deemed necessary and desirable to assist the Alliance in carrying out its organizational purposes and to designate the purpose and composition of any standing committees in the bylaws. The revisions to allow for the addition of new members and the more flexible approach to committees, prompts a number of other, minor, housekeeping changes to the JPA, such as changing references from "city" and "cities" to "party" and "parties" and the deletion of references to the Supervisory Committee. Alternative Council may choose not agree to the proposed amendments of the of the Joint Powers Agreement.
