ASSOCIATION OF GOVERNMENTS' GENERAL ASSEMBLY

RECOMMENDED ACTION
City Council appoint a delegate and alternate representative to the 2016 Southern California
Association of Governments' General Assembly.
BACKGROUND
The Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG) region encompasses six counties
(Imperial, Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside, San Bernardino, and Ventura) and 191 cities in an
area covering more than 38,000 square miles.
SCAG develops long-range regional transportation plans including sustainable communities'
strategy and growth forecast components, regional transportation improvement programs,
regional housing needs allocations, and a portion of the South Coast Air Quality management
plans. SCAG is governed by the 86 -member Regional Council, whose members are elected by
district. Santa Clarita and the City of San Fernando comprise District 67.
Each year the City Council appoints a delegate and alternate to SCAG's General Assembly
which will be held May 5-6 this year. A municipality's delegate must be an elected member of
that jurisdiction's governing board. Every member jurisdiction within the SCAG region is
requested to appoint a delegate, who has the opportunity to vote on any proposed changes to
SCAG by-laws or propose and vote upon resolutions to be considered by SCAG's membership at
the General Assembly.
In April 2016, the Regional Council is expected to adopt the 2016 Regional Transportation
Plan/Sustainable Communities Strategy, which is the six -county region's transportation blueprint.
