3. LOS ANGELES REGIONAL INTEROPERABLE COMMUNICATIONS SYSTEM

developing and implementing a modern data communications system.

Communications System (LA-RICS) Project Joint Powers Agreement (JPA), authorizing the

formation committee to determine if common regional priorities between the San Fernando

Economic Alliance, formally requesting that the City of Santa Clarita be considered as
