Ream then introduced Senior Management <br />Assistant Jill Arthur who presented the staff report on the proposal to constitute RAPC as a <br />formal entity to be known as the Orange County Council of Governments (OCCOG). <br /> <br />Arthur described OCCOG's proposed functions, membership, staffing, funding, and organizational <br />relationships and benefits. Among the benefits cited were the potential cost savings from a <br />coordinated approach to common issues, a more unified voice for advocacy, and increased <br />bargaining power for competitive grant funding. Arthur stressed the need for Santa Ana to be <br />part of OCCOG noting the proposal's viability required the membership of a majority of Orange <br />County cities with a majority of population. <br /> <br />Arthur introduced the following representatives from the Orange County Division of the League <br />of California Cities: Fountain Valley Councilmember and OC Division League of California Cities <br />President Laurann Cook, and League staff members Janet Huston and Daryl Halls. <br /> <br />The Council discussed the OCCOG proposal with City staff and League representatives, <br />addressing several issues which included but were not limited to the following: reactions from <br />and/or concerns of entities that have not yet endorsed OCCOG (County of Orange, Anaheim, <br />Garden Grove, and Huntington Beach); the timing of the proposal given the upcoming elections; <br />possible duplication of efforts vis-a-vis such entities as the League of California Cities and the <br />Southern California Association of Governments; Santa Ana 2000's collaboration goals; the <br />availability of and competition for grant funds; OCCOG voting strength versus that of Los <br />Angeles and the Inland Empire; and regional issues such as land use and social services that might <br />be better addressed through a COG. <br /> <br />CITY COUNCIL MINUTES 174 MAY 20, 1996 <br /> <br /> <br />
