RECOMMENDED ACTION
City Council appoint the current Director of Parks, Recreation, and Community Services as
the City's representative to the Santa Monica Mountains Conservancy Advisory Committee
and the Santa Clarita Watershed, Recreation, and Conservation Authority.
BACKGROUND
In 1990, State Senate Bill 1885 was enacted, giving the City of Santa Clarita a seat on the
Advisory Committee of the Santa Monica Mountains Conservancy (SMMC). Subsequent to
the enactment of this Bill, the City Council took action appointing the then City's Parks
and Recreation Director to serve as the City's representative on the SMMC Advisory
Committee. In January of 1993, the City Council took a similar action when a new Director
of Parks, Recreation, and Community Services was hired.
Since its inception, the SMMC has entered into a number of joint powers agreements
(JPA's) with other public agencies for the specific interest of open space acquisition and
preservation in the near proximities of those public agencies. In 1993, the City of Santa
Clarita and the SMMC entered into such a JPA for the purpose of acquiring, developing,
and conserving park and open space land, including water oriented recreation and
conservation projects near and within the Santa Clarita Valley. The Santa Clarita
Watershed, Recreation, and Conservation Authority JPA is comprised of two members of
the SMMC, and two representatives from the City of Santa Clarita. The City's
representatives are City Manager George Caravalho and Deputy City Manager Rick
Putnam.
Representation by the City on the SMMC Advisory Committee and the JPA has played an
integral role in the expansion and preservation of open space, properties, and boundaries
within the Santa Clarita Valley. In order to continue the City's representation on the
