Dear Ms. Remiche:
I regret I will be unable to attend the City Ccuncils shirt sleeve
session on August 9th when you discuss the amended Joint Powers
Agreement. I will however, have a member- of my staff, Andy
Chesley, and possibly a member of the COG Board there to answer
any questions.
There is one item that I feel your City Council should be aware of
prior to taking any formal action. One page 7 of the By-laws,
Section 2b, wherein the membership of the. Transportation Technical.
Committee is spelled out, I inadvertantly overlooked the inclusion
F
--of-:!Caltrans three representatives. If our agreement is to be re.-
cognized byy the Federal Department of Transportation it is essexntial
that they be included in the transportation planting process.
All changes will be incorporated into the final document prior to
signing by the cities and the County. It is hoped that the action
taken by the Council at their August 1 -7th meeting wi11'be to ap==
prove the amended Joint Powers Agrement and authorize the mayor :to
Sim for the City. I would hope that everything could be finalized
before our September 1st objective.
Should you have any further questions, please feel free to call me
at any time.
truly u;V�

Dear Mayor Olsen:

�-
For the last few years, the San Joaquin County Council of Govern-
ments has been attempting to secure the independence and autonomy
from the County that it feels was intended within the Joint
Powers Agreement under which it was formed.
The new County Administrator has been most cooperative and willing
to work with the COG toward that end.
Attached is a draft copy of the revised Joint Powers Agreement and
By-laws which we are trying to adopt. The revised Joint Powers
Agreement differs from the existing agreement in several ways.
These include:
a. Duties: It more clearly spells out the duties and
responsibilities of the COG.
b. COG.Independence: it establishes the COG as a separate
entity apart Ero:m the County or the cities, much like
a special:; district.
c. Representation: The representation in COG has also been
changed somewhat. The County and the City.of Stockton
will each have three representatives on the COG Board ._s
while each of the other five cities retain their single
representative. There was some discussion on th=is mat-`
ter and it was suggested by some that the County and
City of Stockton each be given two representatives:
instead of three. The Board of Supervisors were most
insistent, however, upon keeping it at three.
d. V�otin� It gives three votes apiece to both the Coi-nty
an�e-t City of Stockton while the remaining five. cities_
each have one vote. It does spell out, however, that the
representative must be present to vote and no proxy`
voting is permitted'.
e. Structure: It streamlines the review process and elimi-
nates t e Policy Committee, thereby having all action
taken by the COG Board It eliminates the meed for
another meeting and also places the Policy Committee
representatives from SMTD, the Port, and Caltrans on
the COG Board as non-voting ex -officio members.

Quorum: It also revises the number of members that
must be present to constitute a quorum. Where pre-
viously it required a majority of the membership to
make a quorum, it now calls for a minimum of five
members to constitute a quorum for the conduct of
business. It is hoped that this will eliminate the
problems that were experienced in the past in securing
a quorum.
g. Withdrawal: It also revises the agreement and by-laws
relat ve to withdrawal from COG. Currently, the with-
drawal by the County would terminate the organization.
The revised document notes that so longus a majority
of member governments remain and collectively consti-
tute at least fifty-five percent of the total County
population, the organization can continue to function.
Initially it was hoped that the adoption of the revised Joint
Powers Agreement and By-laws could be accomplished by July ist in
conjunction with the new fiscal year, but that was found to be
wholly unrealistic. We are currently attempting to finalize this
agreementby September 1st and any help you can render in meeting
that deadline would be appreci -ted .
In addition. I am enclosing a copy of the proposed 1983/84 budget
for this liscal year. Because of all the uncertainties, I was not
able to prepare and circulate it earlier. I would hope you could
have the:.Cty Council review and concur with the budget at the
same time..y;ou approve the revised Joint Powers Agreement You
should note that all of COG's expenses for the year will be met. y
W
ith existing: federal and state grants and TDA contributions.
At such -time as you review these matters with the Council, I would
be most willing to be present to answer questions should you feel
it necessary.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact,me. K'
Very truly ours,

SAN JOAQUIN COUNTY COUNCIL OF GOVERNMENTS
PROPOSED BUDGETS
FISCAL YEAR 1983-84
FUNCTION
The San Joaquin County Council of Governments, a voluntary asso-
ciation of general purpose governments, was organized in 1968
with the purpose of providing a mechanism whereby areawide pro-
blems (countywide) could be resolved.
Within the Joint Powers Agreement, under which the COG was formed,
and subsequent federal legislation, its basic functions include
the following: .
• Provide review of federally assisted grant proposals
. Develop regional plans and policies for urban growth
and development
• Facilitate agreements among governmental units for
specific projects
• Ensure maximum economy in governmental operations through
cooperation and the pooling of common resources
. Provide a forum for discussion and study of areawide
problems of mutual concern
. Identify and plan for the solution of areawide problems
Official designations which the COG has received include the
Areawide Planning Agency by HUD, the Comprehensive Regional Trans-
portation Planning Agency by the Federal Highway Administration,
the.Metropolitan Clearinghouse by the Federal Office of Management
and Budget, and Airport Land Use Commission by the local govern-
ments. -within the County and the State of California.
ORGANIZATION
In order to carry out its varied functions, the COG has always
maintained two specific divisions in the organization. These_.
include, r(X) (COG) Comprehensive Regional Planning, and. (2) - Trans -
port.ation Planning. Separate budgets were. maintainRd, for;: the: v.
two.sections because of the sources of funding and the different -
requirements of the funding agencies.
The COG's Regional Planning Budget was contained in one account.
within the County General Fund (01-25801). However, due to the
numerous grants received for Transportation Planning purposes and
theauditrequirements incumbent upon them, the Transportation
budget was separated from the General Fund in 1976 and a seperate
Transportation Fund (02S) was created. With COG being established
as a separate entity, it is now combining both budgets into one
The Council of Governments' staff consists of nine full time
employees; an Executive Director, a Transportation Planner, two
Planner -1,11s, two Planner I's, a Clerk Steno 11 , a Clerk Steno I r
and an Account Technician II, One Planner II, two Planner I's,
the' 'Account Technician 11 and the Clerk Steno I, all of whom F
worked in'`the Transportation Division division, are contract em-.
ployees
m-
ployees and""would be terminated at such time as the level of
federal funding'could no longer justify their continued
employment.
With an exceptionally heavy workload, as a result of new mandates
by Federal and Mate governments, the COG contracts with or
shares some of the work elements with either consultants, Cal-
trans, or the County.
f
ADMINISTRATIVE AND COMPREHENSIVE REGIONAL PLANNING
The COG's Comprehensive Regional Planning division was responsi-
ble for. all plans and programs other than transportation. They
also shared the intergovernmental coordination,. public informa-
tion, technical assistance, and grant review functions with the
Transportation division`, One of the principle objectives of the
COG is..to assure the San Joaquin County regions continued
eligibility for receiving federal financial assistance.
During the 1983/84 fiscal year, the Regional Planning Division
Amok will ;be continuing the Clearinghouse Activities and operation
of the'Airport Land Use Commission. Funding for the Airport Land
Use Commission activities, as mandated by State law, calls for
the County'to cover such costs.
TRANSPORTATION PLANNING
The transportation; planning being carried ou,t, in conjunction with,' 3
local', 'stite and federal governments, is directed toward y`
the preparation ;o£.the:Countywide Transportation Plan and other
documents:required`'by'vfederal and state regulations. The planning
process is a. cooperative process and COG staff is assisted by
the staffs<,and::representatives of local governments, special
transportation agencies, the California Department of Transpor
tation,'.and by local elected and appointed officials ;and members
of the community. Elements of the Plan include a Road and Street
Plan, a Public Transit Plan, Aviation System Plan, a> Bicycle (noir
motorized) Plan, and Commodity Movement Plan. Otheractivities
include the planning for mobile source emissions of air quality,
the prepration of the Transportation Systems Management Element,
a -Transportation Improvement Program, an Action Plan "for the
coordination of social service transportation services and Energy
Planning.
