FROM: Monica Irons, Director of Human Resources
Prepared By: Greg Zocher, Human Resources Manager
SUBJECT: APPOINTMENT TO BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND APPOINTMENTS OF
ALTERNATES FOR CALIFORNIA JOINT POWERS INSURANCE
AUTHORITY (CJPIA)
RECOMMENDATION
1. Appoint the Mayor to represent the City of San Luis Obispo on the Board of Directors for
the CJPIA.
2. Appoint the Vice Mayor, City Manager, Director of Finance and Information
Technology, Director of Human Resources and Human Resources Manager as alternate
representatives to the Board of Directors for the CJPIA.
3. Delegate authority to the Mayor for future appointments to CJPIA Board of Directors.
DISCUSSION
On June 17, 2003, the Council adopted a resolution to join the CJPIA and to participate in its
joint protection program for liability coverage. Article 7 of the Joint Powers Agreement requires
the Council to select one Councilmember to serve on the Board of Directors of the CJPIA. The
Council is also required to select at least one alternate to the CJPIA Board of Directors, who may
be staff members.
Board members or alternates attend the annual meeting held in La Palma, California and vote on
appointments to the CJPIA Executive Committee. Periodically board members or alternates vote
to approve or deny another agency’s membership in the CJPIA.
After consultation with the Mayor, who currently serves as the City’s representative on the
CJPIA Board of Directors, staff recommends that the designated alternates be the Vice Mayor,
City Manager, City Attorney, Director of Finance and Information Technology, Director of
Human Resources, and Human Resources Manager. Appointing multiple alternates provides
flexibility for the Mayor to request the person with the most appropriate background and skills to
participate in CJPIA executive board sessions and increases the probability of participation in the
event of conflicting schedules.
Changes for future appointments, including appointing alternates, to the CJPIA Board of
Directors would be delegated to the Mayor for ease of administration.
FISCAL IMPACT
There is no cost associated with designating the Board member and alternate.
