Date: July 11, 2005
To: Honorable Mayor and Ci y Council
From: John B. Bahorski
City Manager
Subject: FIRST AMENDMENT TO WEST CITIES COMMUNICATIONS
CENTER (WEST COMM) JOINT POWER AUTHORITY
AGREEMENT
SUMMARY OF REQUEST:
Approve an amendment to West Cities Communications Center Joint Power Authority
Agreement.
BACKGROUND:
The cities of Cypress, Los Alamitos, and Seal Beach are member cities of the West Cities
Communications Center (West Comm) Joint Powers Authority. The current Joint Powers
Authority Agreement ( "JPA ") provides that West Comm will be managed by an
Administrative Oversight Staff (AOS) consisting of the city managers and chiefs of
police from each member city. The current AOS believes that it would be more
appropriate for the AOS to consist of just the city managers from the three member cities,
and to create a Technical Operations Committee (TOC) consisting of the police chiefs
from the three member cities. The current AOS believes this would create a more
efficient division of duties between the city managers and the police chiefs, such that the •
city managers will be responsible for the general management of the organization, and
the police chiefs will be responsible for overseeing the day -to -day operations of the
organization.
DISCUSSION
The attached First Amendment to West Cities Communications Center (West Comm)
Joint Powers Authority Agreement has been prepared by West Comm General Counsel to
effectuate the above changes. The AOS will have the same powers and duties as it has
under the current agreement. The TOC will oversee the Dispatch Administrator's day -to-
day operations of the West Comm organization.
AGENDA REM ,
In accordance with Section 12 of the JPA, the West Comm Board of Directors has
considered the First Amendment to West Cities Communication Center (West Comm)
Joint Powers Authority Agreement, and has recommended that the amendment be
approved by the West Comm member cities. In order for the amendment to be effective,
the parties to the JPA must unanimously approve it.
RECOMMENDATION:
Based on the analysis presented in this report, staff recommends that the City Council
adopt the attached resolution approving the First Amendment to West Cities
Communications Center (West Comm) Joint Powers Authority Agreement.
FISCAL IMPACT:
