RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Recommended action
That the City Council approve the Twelfth Amendment to the Amended and Restated Joint Exercise of Powers Agreement Creating the Riverside County Habitat Conservation Agency.
Body
ANALYSIS:
The duties of administration and management of the Riverside County Habitat Conservation Agency (RCHCA) was transferred to Western Riverside County of Governments (WRCOG) in 2015 and in May 2018 both Agencies approved the full consolidation of RCHCA and WRCOG. RCHCA’s Treasurer and financial system are currently under the County of Riverside’s Office of the Auditor Controller whereas WRCOG has its own Treasurer and financial system that is separate from the county. In order to proceed with the full consolidation, the RCHCA’s Joint Powers Agreement requires an amendment to assign a new Treasurer for the RCHCA. The new Treasurer would be WRCOG pursuant to California Government Code.
The RCHCA Board of Directors at its meeting on May 17, 2018 approved the 12th Amendment to the Amended and Restated Joint Exercise of Powers Agreement. The 12th Amendment now needs to be approved by the local jurisdictions that are party to the Agreement. The approval of the amendment by the City Council will allow the changes to take place at the beginning of the 2018-2019 Fiscal Year.
COMMITTEE ACTION:
Not applicable.
STRATEGIC PLAN:
Not applicable.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The amendment will have no fiscal impact to the General Fund.
ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS:
The amendment to the Amended and Restated Joint Exercise of Powers Agreement is not considered a project under the California Environmental Quality Act.
