Adopt Resolution Authorizing City Manager to Execute Amended Joint Powers
Agreement with the California Transit lndemnity Pool
July 17,2019
Public Works Director
RECOMMENDED ACTION Adopt resolution authorizing City Manager to execute amended Joint
Powers Agreement with the California Transit lndemnity Pool.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The California Transit lndemnity Pool (CalTlP) was created in 1987 to
allow transit agencies to pool resources for liability coverage, vehicle
physical damage coverage, risk management services, and a variety
of other services. Membership in CalTlP is achieved through a Joint Powers Agreement (JPA) with each of
its transit agency members. The City of Lodi joined CalTip in 1990 and staff serves on its Board of
Directors (Board) and on the Finance Committee to ensure involvement in the decisions that are made
affecting Lodi's interests in the insurance pool.
CalTlP has proposed amendments to the existing JPA and its bylaws that address ongoing challenges with
quorum requirements and will allow the CalTlP Board to make decisions and carry forth initiatives in a more
expeditious manner for the benefit of the organization. The JPA has not been amended since 201 1.
A draft JPA and Bylaws were distributed to all CalTlP members, including Lodi, on April 3, 2019, to provide
time to review the changes, provide comments, and ask questions. At its April 18,2019 meeting, the CalTlP
Board approved submitting the amended JPA to each of the member agencies for approval. ln addition, the
CalTlP Board approved the amended Bylaws to become effective upon approval of the amended JPA.
Generally, the CalTlP Board can approve amendments to their Bylaws, but because the amended JPA makes
reference to the Bylaws, they have been included for informational purposes.
The amended JPA must be approved by the governing bodies of at least three-fourths of the CalTlP
members. However, CalTlP recommends that all member agencies approve the amended JPA regardless.
Staff recommends authorizing City Manager to execute amended Joint Powers Agreement with the California
Transit lndemnity Pool.
