Asked whether operating memoranda and amendments adopted by resolution would <br />be subject to referendum, the City Attorney replied that it would he a <br />question of whether or not this is a legislative act and that he did not <br />know if there had been a test of this type of agreement. <br /> <br />Councilman Herrin expressed alarm at the possibility of the growth of such <br />an agency to the point that it would become unwieldy and uncontrollable as <br />some special districts had. The City Manager replied that districts get their <br />powers from State law and that the Authority created under a Joint Powers <br />Agreement would have no funds and no powers other than those expressly agreed <br />to by the participating agencies. <br /> <br />RECESS <br /> <br />At 3:40 p.m. a five minute recess was <br />declared. The Council reconvened at <br />3:45 p.m with all Council members <br />present. <br /> <br />The City Manager called to the attention of the City Council that although <br />the exhibits describing land in the Civic Center were not yet prepared, the <br />City Council could adopt the agreement without the exhibits, but that it <br />would not be operative until the exhibits were supplied to complete the <br />documents~ that if the Council should adopt an agreement on January 17, the <br />County would know it had the opportunity for financing under a Joint Powers <br />Plan. <br /> <br />Responding to a comment by Councilman ~arkel that he did not know how much <br />of this he would be interested in without seeing the exhibits, the City <br />l~anager stated this document made no provision for underpasses, overpasses, <br />malls, Flower Street, etc. - that it did nothing but create an agency and <br />give the participating public agencies the opportunity to use it as a vehicle <br />for financing. <br /> <br />On motion of Councilman Brooks, seconded by Councilman Burk and carried, the <br />City Council instructed the City Attorney to prepare a resolution to be <br />voted on at the next Council meeting so that the Council could adopt or not <br />adopt a Joint Powers Agreement, and that it should contain the limitation on <br />repetitive terms of office by governing boar~ members. <br /> <br />ADJ~ <br /> <br />On motion of CouncJlm~n Herrin~ seconded <br />by Councilm-u Mc~ichael and carried, the <br />meeting was adjourned at h:O0 p.m. <br /> <br />DORIS M.
