BACKGROUND INFORMATION: At the Cities -County (Association meeting last month in Escalon, the program centered on the purpose and future of the organization. A portion of this discussion included a suggested revised meetira schedule. The Association had been meeting monthly with the exception of the months of July and August. Concern had been expressed that monthly meetings were perhaps too frequent and that program content needed more attention. For discussion purposes at the Novemnher Association meeting, a suggested meeting'schedule was presented. This schedule was developed by the City Manager: in the County along with the County Administrative Officer. It calls for the Association meetings to be held bi-mnthy rather than monthly, with the Mayors, Board of Supei-visors Chai , -1, City Managers- and County :Administrative Officer to meet in the off *tenths to discuss, among other things, program content for future meetings. There aree no meetings in the months of July, August and Decerker. While the schedule was presented for discussion purposes only, it was quickly seized by those in attendance and a rather quick vote of approval followed. in view of the fact that this represents a significant change in the organization's structure, and because one city (Tracy) had no representatives in attendance wi-Lile other agencies had less than a quorum present, it was felt that additional consideration should be given. Accordingly, the attached letter (Exhibit A) from Association President Jim F'uiton (Coi.;nciL-reir;',r, Escalon) was sent to all of the cities and the County of Sawn J oae-uin. The letter requests an official position from each agency. The staff will be pleased to answer any questions Counci.ir.emiDers may ha,ve.

A copy of t')is proposed schedule is attached. Those in attendance at that meeting voted to implement the {'Y schedule as presented that evening. I have concluded since then that perhaps things ;roved too rapidly at that meeting. One city had no representation. other agencies were represented by sanething less than a r-ajority of their elected officials To ensure that everyone feels comfortable with this schedule, I am requesting that each agency in the Cities -County Association trz:nsmi.t at the e—,-! iest possible ti=ne tip official position of your agency as expressed by your gove�--ning-bodies. As soon as I have heard from everyone I will advise each agency of the results. We should then confirm the results at the Cities -County Association meeting in Januz- --y. I appreciate your attention to this im-por-a ^t nutter, and look forward to hearing from you.

ASSOCIATION PLANNING SESSION Chairman Jim Fulton remarked that attene,ance has been down at tie, meetings and there seems to be a feeling that the Association as a x. group needs to redirect and plan the meetings it. order to obtain better participation. Evelyn Olsen of Lodi presented a tentative plan for discussion. The nlar.. was a suggested meeting schedule showing meetings held every other menta with the summer months not scheduled as meeting dates. San Joaquin County Administrator, Dave Rowlands, felt there needed to be more hands-on communication and there i; a great need to focus on intra - county problems in advance before the issues are reported by the news media. lie stated there are ten major time L-_-mhs that need to he addr-essed pobably within within the next 18 months. Chairman Fulton felt some issues needed to be discussed right a4ay 'instead of waiting for a speaker on the.issue at a later date. Carl Vilen of Escalon voiced an opinion that he was opposed to cutting the meetings to one every other month. Dave Hinchuman of Lodi also stated that he is opposed to the proposed schedule and felt the Association should have speakers at the meetinqz, on a monthly basis.
