SUBJECT: CITY DELEGATE AND ALTERNATE REPRESENTATIVE FOR THE
2023 SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA ASSOCIATION OF
GOVERNMENTS' GENERAL ASSEMBLY
DEPARTMENT: City Manager's Office
PRESENTER: Masis Hagobian
RECOMMENDED ACTION
City Council appoint a Delegate and an Alternate to the 2023 Southern California Association of
Governments' General Assembly.
BACKGROUND
The Southern California Association of Governments (SLAG) 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 currently developing and implementing programs and policies consistent with the
2020-2045 Regional Transportation Plan/Sustainable Communities Strategy (Connect SoCal),
which is the organization's long-range vision for transportation and housing within the six -
county region. Programs and policies to advance Connect SoCal will likely be the centerpiece of
discussions and presentations at this year's General Assembly.
Each year, the City Council appoints a Delegate and an Alternate to SCAG's General Assembly,
which will be held on May 5, 2023. A municipality's Delegate and Alternate must be an elected
member of that jurisdiction's governing body. 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 the absence of the Delegate, the Alternate may
represent the jurisdiction's governing body at the General Assembly.
