COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT ITEM NUMBER:
FROM: Michael McCluskey, Public Works Director
Wayne Peterson, City Engineer-
SUBJECT: SLOCOG Joint Powers Agreement, Fiscal Year 1993/94
CAO RECOMMENDATION: By motion, approve and authorize the Mayor to sign the Joint Powers
Agreement of the San Luis Obispo Council of Governments, Fiscal Year 1993/94
DISCUSSION:
At the August 3 Council meeting, Council discussed the proposed JPA for the SLOCOG, fiscal year
1993/94. There were two concerns expressed and the item was continued to September 7, 1993 for
further discussion.
The current status of the JPA is that it has been approved by the County and 4 members, therefore,
according to COG staff, the JPA is in effect for the coming year and any failure for the City to approve
the JPA at this time will result in the City losing its right to vote on the COG.
One concern was regarding the ability of the JPA to sue member agencies, and the other was the size and
growth of the staff of the COG. Staff has discussed these items with Ron DeCarli, of the COG, and he
has agreed to attend the Council meeting to discuss the Council's concerns regarding these items. In
summary, the COG has been advised by their legal counsel that as an independent agency they must have
the rights to sue and be sued in order to protect themselves. Should the City feel strongly that this right
should not be part of the JPA, it would be appropriate to recommend that the item be considered for
change in next year's JPA.
The second item regarding the size and growth of the COG staff is regulated by the annual work program
that is approved by the COG. Council should direct its representative on the COG to express these
concerns at the COG meetings and to suggest that the work program be cut back.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that Council approve the JPA at this time. There seems to be no advantage of not
approving it, in fact, it will be detrimental to our interests. Appropriate action by the Council to
concerns regarding the JPA would be to identify the concerns and direct staff to work with the other
members of the JPA to affect appropriate changes in next year's JPA.

CAO RECOMMENDATION: By motion, approve and authorize the Mayor to sign the Joint Powers
Agreement of the San Luis Obispo Council of Governments, Fiscal Year 1993/94
DISCUSSION:
San Luis Obispo Council of Governments during the fiscal year 1992/93 became an independent agency
and no longer works within the auspices or direction of San Luis Obispo County. In order to recognize
that change in administration and to fulfill goals set by the SLOCOG Board of Directors, a number of
changes are proposed to the SLOCOG Joint Powers Agreement. The Joint Powers Agreement requires
a unanimous vote of approval by all agencies within SLOCOG, prior to any proposed change to the Joint
Powers Agreement becoming effective. As of the date of preparation of this agenda item, Grover Beach
and Arroyo Grande have approved the changes to the Joint Powers Agreement. The remaining five cities
and the County have yet to take action upon the proposed changes.
The proposed changes are discussed as follows.
1. Section 1 - Purpose. The SLOCOG Board of Directors wish to have the Joint Powers Agreement
modified to include the mission statement of SLOCOG. Thus an entire new section defined as
Purpose was created to fulfill an answer to that request. Basically, the proposed purpose of SLOCOG
is to exist as a regional agency providing a forum for planning, discussion, cooperation amongst the
various agencies while maximizing State and Federal funding for various programs.
This section proposes to achieve that purpose via the various sub-agencies of which the COG is
known: the Metropolitan Planning Organization(MPO),the Regional Transportation Planning Agency
(RTPA), and the Congestion Management Agency (CMA). These sub-agencies allocate the applicable
Federal, State, and local funds, conduct a continuous and cooperative planning program among the
various agencies to meet Federal and State requirements, facilitate an efficient and effective multi
modal transportation system, develop an integrated waste management plan, serve as the regional
census data affiliate, and discuss and study area wide problems of mutual interest. As the purpose
and methods for implementation are and have been recognized since the inception of COG, no change
is recommended by staff for any of the proposed statements in the JPA for the section entitled,
"Purpose."
2. Section 3 - Powers. Under this section, the Joint Powers Agreement is proposed to be modified to
allow COG new additional powers. Those powers being: to acquire, hold and convey real and
personal property; incur debts, obligations, and liabilities; sue and be sued. In the opinion of staff,
this greatly expands the power of SLOCOG. The agency could begin an aggressive property
acquisition program, or could decide to sue one of its own member agencies.
While the SLOCOG Board of Directors could, should, and probably would control any right-of--way
property acquisition and thus the incurrence of debts and obligations, staff feels such a concern should
be noted by Council on ratification.

The remaining issue of COG being able to sue or be sued requires additional consideration. The
ability of SLOCOG to sue a member agency could create a very large schism within the organization
and would not be in the best interests of the purpose and the goals of the organization. While staff
is recommending ratification of the Joint Powers Agreement, staff would likewise recommend that the
agreement be further modified in the following year to include the inability of SLOCOG to sue one
of its member agencies.
3. Section 4 - Membership. A minor change is proposed in Section 4 allowing cities to elect an alternate
member from the City Council, but that the alternate member should only be able to vote in the
absence of the official representative.
4. Section 5 .- Operation. Changes proposed in this section deal with salaries and services which
SLOCOG will incur as a direct result of becoming an independent body. The section changes allow
for SLOCOG Board of Directors approval of the budget and any budget changes thereto.
An additional change involves the requirement for a Quorum. At its June meeting, the SLOCOG
Board of Directors voted to change the bylaws' definition of a quorum. One County Supervisor will
be sufficient, rather than two Supervisors, once the proposed changes are ratified. This resulted from
numerous SLOCOG meetings starting late as a direct result of non-attendance by a second Supervisor.
With only one of five Supervisors in attendance, great effort had to be made to locate a second and
thus allow the meeting to begin. The proposed change will eliminate this problem. This was
accidentally not highlighted as a change by COG staff.
5. Section 7 - Personnel and Services. Extensive changes were made to Section 7. The existing JPA
Section 7 is titled simply,"Personnel". These numerous changes are proposed as a direct result of
SLOCOG becoming an independent body. They define the relationship of the Executive Director, the
submittal of financial reports, the basis for removing and suspending employees, and the basis for the
Executive Director to maintain custody and control of all property of SLOCOG other than monies and
securities. Additionally definitions are provided for legal counsel, treasurer, controller, and bonding
requirements.
As this is the first year of its independency, SLOCOG asked the County Auditor/Controller for a
detailed estimate of the charges anticipated for legal services, treasurer, and controller services to be
provided by San Luis Obispo County personnel. After those fund amounts were established by the
Auditor/Controller, specific line items for payment for those services were included in the SLOCOG
budget. As with all other budgetary review processes, it is the responsibility of the Executive Director
to keep expenses within budget. Further, it is the responsibility of SLOCOG Board of Directors to
review the performance of the Executive Director to maintain that performance and keep the overall
SLOCOG budget within its projected amounts.
6. Section 8 - Meetings. Subsection 7 of this section was changed to require that agenda material be
submitted to the Executive Director 14 days prior to a meeting and that the Executive Director be
directed to distribute that same agenda to member agencies 12 calendar days prior to the m tiny.

T Section 9 - Committees. Subsection 3 was amended to redefine the composition of the legal
committee. The legal committee shall now be composed of SLOCOG's legal counsel and the
attorney's of the member agencies. Two new committees were established as the Solid Waste Task
Force and the Solid Waste Technical Advisory Committee and incorporated into the Joint Powers
Agreement. However, this committee will exist only until such time the duties are transferred to the
Solid Waste Authority. It is presumed that the JPA would be amended next year to delete these
committees.
A new committee was also established to be known as the Executive Committee. It will be comprised
of the president, the vice-president, the past president, and one representative from the County of San
Luis Obispo. The purpose of the committee is to advise SLOCOG on the budget, the work program,
controversial policy issues, and the criteria for funding allocation. Staff feels that with one mandated
representative from the County there should likewise be one mandated representative from one of the
member cities. Further, the duties of the committee appear no different than those of the Board of
Directors and therefore staff questions the usefulness of such a committee.
8. Section 10 - Finance. This section is changed to show the fact that the County Auditor/Controller
shall be the auditor of SLOCOG in accordance with other sections of the agreement.
9. Section 11 - Citizen Involvement. This new section has been created to reflect the fact that SLOCOG
shall carry out a citizen involvement process by creating a citizens transportation advisory committee.
OTHER ISSUES:
1. SLORTA Merger with SLOCOG - SLOCOG is currently proposing a merger with SLORTA in order
for SLORTA employees to receive PERS benefits. Although at fust glance the issue seems relatively
simple and easy to approve, the true resulting issues are complex and not easily resolvable. Since this
issue is not a part of the current JPA revisions, staff will await any SLOCOG actions, leading to
another JPA revision, for detailed review.
2. Santa Maria to San Luis Obispo Bus Route - This is not a SLOCOG JPA issue but gets frequent
mention with SLOCOG issues. Basically the SLORTA Board of Directors, at its June meeting, agreed
that any permanent new bus route outside of the county would require a unanimous vote of support
of all member agencies. The current proposal is for a one-year trial period, said trial period to begin
upon receipt of $25,000 from both the City of Santa Maria and the Santa Barbara COG. The
SLORTA Board voted to allow the trial run without requiring a unanimous vote of member agencies.
After the one-year trial period, a unanimous vote would be required to make the route permanent.

As the City's representative for six years, I offer these thoughts on concerns expressed by
Council.
I have attached for your information the work program for 1993-94, and also a matrix used
to assist all agencies in funding transportation needs. In reviewing this material, I hope one
can see the increase in mandates and funds resulting from the change in status--now an
urban county.
There is no question that the staff has increased with the additional responsibilities.
Perhaps our new delegate should participate for six months or so and then give Council
input from personal observations.
From my perspective, becoming an independent agency has given each jurisdiction more
control. It was a very difficult process but well worth the effort.
In conclusion, I would encourage the Council to adopt the SLOCOG JPA for this year. I
would also suggest we request a longer review period in the future to provide adequate time
to address our concerns.

Governments(SLOCOG) requires development of an annual Overall Work Program and budget.
It documents all tasks, anticipated work products, projected revenues, and expenditures. It is
required by the State Department of Transportation (Caltrans) to document the SLOCOG's
regional transportation planning process, which forms the justification for state planning
subventions. It is also required by the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) and Federal
Transit Administration(FTA)to document the expenditure of federal planning grants. The Overall
Work Program (OWP) is the document which describes the planning and programming activities
which SLOCOG will conduct in the 1993/94 fiscal year. These programs and tasks form the basis
of SLOCOG's fiscal needs which are in turn translated into a program and line item budget.
The work program includes two major transportation programs including: Transportation
Development Act (TDA) fund administration; and Regional Transportation Planning and
Programming. In addition, the Council is responsible for coordinating development of the
Countywide Integrated Waste Management Plan (COIWMP). As it is a non-transportation
program, its work elements are considered separately. Based on the 1990 Census, the U.S.
Census Bureau has determined that the City of San Luis Obispo and an adjacent unincorporated
area comprises an urbanized area with a population of 50,305. As a direct result, the Work
Program must now conform to Federal reporting and programming requirements for Metropolitan
Planning Organizations (MPOs).
The SLOCOG was designated a Metropolitan Planning Organization as of July 1, 1992- The work
program also serves as a management tool for the SLOCOG's planning program. The division
of the program into subcategories and work elements and scheduled tasks and products
facilitates management review throughout the year to ensure that the planned activities are
accomplished on schedule and within budget. Finally,the work program provides an opportunity
for an open review of the planning process by elected officials, member agencies and the general
public.
I. DESCRIPTION OF REGION -San Luis Obispo County is located in the Central Coast region
of California. It has a total land area of 3,316 square miles and as of the 1990 census a total
population of 217,162 The county is divided into five major sub-regions, as follows:
A. The North Coast Sub-Region - This area includes the city of Morro Bay, and the
unincorporated communities of Baywood Park, Los Osos, Cayucos, Cambria and San
Simeon.-The economy is primarily tourist oriented. The Hearst-San Simeon State Historical
Monument is located in this region and receives about 1 million visitors a year.
B. The North County Sub-Region - This area includes the cities of Atascadero and Paso
Robles, and the unincorporated 'communities of Santa Margarita, Templeton, San Miguel,
Heritage Ranch and Oak Shores.

As the designated MPO for San Luis Obispo County, SLOCOG is responsible for.developing a
continuous, comprehensive, coordinated planning process that will help assure the development
of an efficient, coordinated and balanced transportation system to meet the mobility needs of the
San Luis Obispo region. The SLOCOG is responsible for preparing the Regional Transportation
Plan (RTP), a biennial plan which examines transportation issues,opportunities and needs in the
region. It is a compilation of goals,objectives and policies for future transportation improvements,
including implementation actions for each transportation mode, funding needs and a range of
options necessary for successful implementation.
The SLOCOG is also responsible for administering about $4.3 million in Transportation
Development Act (TDA) funds for the region. This involves: review and approval of claims from
each of the cities and the county in the region; annual fiscal and compliance audits; triennial
performance audits; social services transportation coordination; and transit performance
monitoring. SLOCOG is also required to conduct annual hearings to determine whether there are
any transit needs within the region that are reasonable to meet SLOCOG is also responsible for
coordinating regional transportation planning with the county Air Pollution Control District(APCD)
in developing the transportation element of the state mandated Clean Air Plan. To help reduce
the increasing demand on our transportation system, SLOCOG established a Regional
Ridesharing Program. This program is jointly funded by Caltrans and SLOCOG and is managed
by the County Engineering Department via an agreement between SLOCOG and the County. For
1993/94, the program is recommended to be relocated to the San Luis Obispo Regional Transit
Authority (SLORTA) for administration.
In addition, the SLOCOG is responsible for the Integrated Waste Management Program. This
program is a requirement of the State as a result of the passage of AB 939 (Sher) in 1989). This
bill required the cities and the county to coordinate the development of several Integrated Waste
Management Plans, including: a Source Reduction and Recycling Element (SRRE); Household
Hazardous Waste Element(HHWE); a Countywide Siting Element(CSE); a Countywide Integrated
Waste Management Plan (CoIWMP); and associated Environmental Impact Reports (EIR's). The
work program and budget for this program will be submitted separately.
Transportation planning within San Luis Obispo County is intended to be a continuous,
comprehensive, and cooperative process designed to meet state planning guidelines as well as
federal rules and regulations. Development of transportation policy is an important element of the
planning process. The SLOCOG sets policy based on technical and policy advice from its staff
and advisory committees.
III.TransportationAdvisory Committees-Three advisory committees supportthe transportation
planning process, including: a Citizens Transportation Advisory Committee (CTAC); a Technical
Transportation Advisory Committee (TTAC); and a Regional Transit Productivity Committee
(RTPC). CTAC and TTAC meet prior to SLOCOG meetings to advise SLOCOG on agenda items.
The RTPC meets periodically to review transit system productivity, services and deficiencies and
advise in the Unmet Transit Needs process. Each committee makes recommendations that are
included in applicable staff reports to SLOCOG. Following are descriptions of the three
transportation related committees and their functions.
- ---
---- A. Citizens Transportation Advisory Committee (CTAC).- This committee represents the
general public, consisting of a citizen appointed from each of the seven cities, the five
supervisorial districts, and four at-large appointees. Its primary purpose is to review
transportation issues and develop citizen recommendations on policies and implementation

Caltrans priorities used nr developing the OWP are as follows:
A. Air Quality Planning and Consistency Analysis - San Luis Obispo County is an attainment
area based on Federal Clean Air standards. Work efforts included in the OWP are as follows:
developing transportation system inventories, and demand and emission assumptions for the
regional State Implementation Plan (SIP); developing quantitative capabilities (modeling, etc)
related to the Regional Transportation Plan (RTP) and Federal Transportation Improvement
Program (FT1P).
B. Goods Movement and Intermodal Planning- Participate with other regional, local and state
agencies and the private sector in planning efforts to identify and implement policies, strategies,
programs and actions that facilitate the movement and transfer of goods.
C. Management System Development Required by the ISTEA - Identify activities related to
developing and coordinating the management systems required by the Intermodal surface
Transportation Efficiency Act of 1991 (ISTEA). The RTPA will have a major role in collecting and
organizing data to be included in each of the systems, including those related to highway
pavement, bridges, highway safety, traffic congestion, public transportation facilities and
equipment, and intermodal transportation facilities and systems.
D. Multimodal Planning- Further develop a comprehensive/multimodal transportation planning
approach and transportation system with special attention to the intermodal connectivity of all
transportation services and facilities. This approach should be and objective in integrating the
region's 'transportation planning efforts, including the RTP, air quality plans, and other
transportation related documents.
Examples,include:Studies to connect rail,transit,airport,streets and highways,and nonmotorized
facilities and services within the region; evaluation of multimodal alternatives to meet regional
needs and concerns; development of strategies to help integrate and connect transportation
facilities within and between jurisdictional boundaries; analysis of airport and seaport ground
access as a priority in multimodal planning; consideration of land use discretionary actions in
developing multimodal planning alternatives; studies to improve rail, truck, and air transfer of
freight within and between regions; developing information systems as a resource for multimodal
users.
E. 1994 Regional Transportation Plans (RTPs) - The California Transportation Commission
(CTC) Regional Transportation Planning Guidelines updated in December, 1992 contain guidance
for the regional agencies in responding to recent Federal and State legislation. Activities related
to satisfying new requirements are a priority. Applicable examples of activities used in developing
the OWP are as follows:
1) "Activities which provide citizens and interested parties reasonable opportunities to
comment on the RTP prior to its adoption.
2) Addressing the 15 planning factors specified in Section 134 of Title 23 of the U.S.
Code.
3) Using information and analysis developed through the regional transportation planning
— ------- process to refine transportation issues, problems and recommendedactions in the.

historic sites, and military installations.
The Highways, Streets, Roads and Bikeways element (WE 3000) includes several tasks
based on coordination with Caltrans and local jurisdictions that are designed to address
these access improvement needs. The Congestion Management Program element (WE
4000)., with a focus on the Regional Traffic Model, is specifically oriented to address this
factor. The Regional Transportation Planning element(WE 5000),which includes the update
of the RTP and Aviation planning tasks,is the major means of addressing this factor.
C. Rights-of-Way - Preservation of rights-of-way for construction of future transportation
projects, including identification of unused rights-of-way which may be needed for future
transportation corridors, and identify those corridors for which action is most needed to
prevent destruction or loss.
The Highways, Streets, Roads and Bikeways element (WE 3000) includes a task oriented to
address corridor and preservation and right-of-way issues. In addition, the Regional
Transportation Planning element (WE 5000) includes a task related to rail development that
addresses the issue of corridor preservation.
D. Bicycle Facilities - Strategies for incorporating bicycle transportation facilities and
pedestrian walkways in projects where appropriate.
The Highways, Street, Roads and Bikeways element (WE 4000),includes several tasks
designed to address this factor. The Regional Transportation Planning element (WE 5000),
which includes updating the Bikeways element as part of the Regional Transportation Plan
update process, addresses this factor. The Intergovernmental Services and Coordination
element (WE 6000) also contains tasks which provide an opportunity to address this factor.
E. Economic Growth- Investment strategies to improve adjoining State and local roads that
support rural economic growth and tourism development, Federal agency renewable
resource management, and multipurpose land management practices, including recreation
development.

Following are the 15 Federal Planning Factors used in developing the OWP, together with
an explanation of how each is reflected in the OWP elements:
1. Preservation of existing transportation facilities and, where practical, ways to meet
transportation needs by using existing transportation facilities more'efficiently.
The Transportation Development Act (TDA) Administration element (WE 1000) includes
several tasks addressing this factor by providing annual reviews and analysis of facilities and
needs. They include: the Unmet Transit Needs process, and contracting and administration
of performance and fiscal audits of transit systems. The Highways, Streets, Roads and
Bikeways element (WE 3000) includes annual analysis of traffic conditions and
implementation of a Pavement Management System (PMS). The Congestion Management
Program (CMP) element(WE4000)includes developmentof aCapital Improvement Program
(CIP) that will give an emphasis on preservation of transportation facilities.
2. The consistency of transportation planning with applicable Federal, State, and local energy
conservation programs, goals, and objectives.
The Highway, Streets, Roads and Bikeways element (WE 3000) includes tasks designed to
promote cycling as an alternative transportation mode, and therefore provide a level of
energy conservation. The Congestion Management Program (CMP) element (WE 4000)
provides a broad basis for conformance to this factor. The Transportation Systems
Management (TSM) provides a comprehensive mechanism to address this factor involving
Clean Air Plan consistency and in promoting alternatives to the single occupant automobile.
3. The need to relieve congestion and prevent congestion from occurring where it does not yet
occur.
The Transportation Development Act (TDA) Administration element (WE 1000) and Public
Transit element (WE 2000) are designed to implement expanded public transit services and
to create mechanisms that will make more efficient use of existing and future services. The
Congestion Management Program includes tasks specifically oriented to reduce or prevent
traffic congestion. The Transportation Systems Management element(WE 7000) specifically
addresses system and demand management measures, including preparation of a
Telecommuting/Teleconference study.
4. The likely effect of transportation policy decisions on land use and development and the
consistency of transportation plans and programs with the provisions of all applicable short
and long-range land use and development plans.
The Highways, Streets, Roads and Bikeways element (WE 3000) includes tasks involving
analysis of the relationship between land use and transportation. The Congestion
Management Program element (WE 4000) is most specific in addressing this relationship as
part of the Regional Traffic Model development process.
5.. The programming of expenditures on Transportation Enhancement Activities (TEA) as
required in Section 133 of ISTEA.
- - - - The Transportation Project Programming&Finance element(WE 8000) includes coordination - -
with all affected agencies to facilitate projects proposed for funding under the TEA program.
6. The effects of all transportation projects to be undertaken within the metropolitan area,
without regard to whether such projects are publicly funded. -
4-9
12. The use of life-cycle costs in the design and engineering of bridges, tunnels or pavement.
The Highways, Streets, Roads, and Bikeways element(WE 3000) addresses this factor within
the context of ongoing roadway monitoring activities.
13. The overall social, economic, energy, and environmental effects of transportation decisions. .
The Regional Transportation Planning element (WE 5000) addresses this factor within the
context of the update of the RTP and the preparation of the Environmental Impact Report
(RTP).
14. Expansion, enhancement and increased use of transit services.
The Transportation Development Act (TDA) Administration (WE 1000) and Public Transit
Planning (WE 2000) elements contain the primary tasks in the OWP designed to address this
factor. These tasks include the Unmet Transit Needs process, administration of performance
and fiscal audits, and the technical and tasks related to grant assistance and coordination.
The Transportation Systems Management element (WE 7000) includes land use,
transportation, energy and air quality planning tasks that address this factor.
15. Capital investments that would result in increased security for transit systems.
The Transportation Development Act (TDA) Administration (WE 1000) and Public Transit
Planning (WE 2000) elements contain the primary tasks in the OWP designed to address this
factor. These tasks include the Unmet Transit Needs process,administration of performance
and fiscal audits, and the technical and tasks related to grant assistance and coordination.
C. Clean Air Planning-The Clean air Act and the ISTEA are closely related in legislative intent
and planning requirements.
The Transportation Systems Management element (WE 7000) includes air quality planning
tasks carried out in close coordination with the APCD that address this factor.
D. Travel Forecasting Models - MPOs should upgrade their travel forecast modeling system
to insure that they produce state-of-the-art, realistic, and defensible results.
The Congestion Management Program (CMP) element (WE 4000) addresses this factor
within the context of developing the regional traffic model.
E. Development of Management Systems -The ISTEA requires new congestion, intermodal,
and public transportation management systems.
This factor is being addressed during the 1992/93 fiscal year, and is expected to be
complete by the start of the 1993/94 fiscal year.
F. Financial Planning-The ISTEA requires that the long range transportation plan must include
a financial plan to support implementation by showing consistency of planned investments with
known and projected sources of funds. It also requires that the TIP be financially constrained and
include a financial plan that demonstrates how the T1P can be implemented: - - --
