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.
