powers authority which would partially offset the expenses of Provider Agencies from revenue from <br />agencies, persons and entities receiving service, those responsible for the emergency, and grant programs. <br />E. The signatories to this Agreement have determined that the provisions of this Agreement <br />are consistent with the Hazardous Waste Control Law, the Orange County Hazardous Waste Management <br />Plan and the Orange County Hazardous Materials Area Plan. <br />F. The signatories to this Agreement each have the common power to create, train and equip <br />Hazardous Materials response teams as well as the authority to contract with one another for the joint <br />exercise of any common power pursuant to the provisions of Article 1, Chapter 5, Division 7, Title 1 of <br />the Government Code of the State of California. <br />G. The County of Orange and the Cities of Anaheim, Huntington Beach, Newport Beach <br />and Santa Ana previously entered into the Joint Powers Agreement Creating the Orange County - City <br />Hazardous Materials Response Authority and the First, Second, Third and Fourth Amendments thereto. <br />Subsequently, the Orange County Fire Authority ( "OCFA ") was formed and became a Provider Agency <br />in place and instead of the County of Orange, and Newport Beach elected to withdraw as a Provider <br />Agency. The OCFA Board of Directors and the Santa Ana City Council have approved Santa Ana to <br />become a member agency of the OCFA. Santa Ana's membership in OCFA became effective on April <br />20, 2012. Therefore, the parties intend for Santa Ana to no longer be a signatory to this Joint Powers <br />Authority nor a Provider Agency effective April 20, 2012. The Orange County Fire Authority has given <br />notice of its intention to withdraw as a Provider Agency, effective on July 1, 2013. Therefore the OCFA <br />will no longer be a signatory to this Joint Powers Authority nor a Provider Agency effective July 1, 2013. <br />H. The Cities of Anaheim and Huntington Beach desire to amend this Joint Powers <br />Agreement to reflect current membership and changes in the operation of the Authority. <br />2- <br />
