DISCUSSION On January 17, 1966, the County of Orange and the City of Santa Ana entered into a Joint Exercise of Powers Agreement forming an Orange County Civic Center Authority for the purpose to plan, construct and maintain a comprehensive Civic Center in Santa Ana. Under the initial terms of this agreement, the County and City deeded land to the Authority to develop the Civic Center. The Joint Powers Agreement has served both agencies successfully to develop and maintain the Civic Center. The original Joint Powers Agreement is for a 50 -year term and will expire on January 2016. Through the years, the Joint Powers agreement has been amended six times: 1) in June 1970, to address conveyance of property to develop City Hall; 2) in December 1970 to make available steam and chilled water to the City; 3) in December 1984, to quitclaim the Orange County Men's Jail and the Intake /Release Center to the County; 4) in November 1991, to grant deed the Men's Jail and the Intake /Release Center to the County; 5) in February 1994, to quitclaim back to the City and the County all the remaining parcels owned by the Authority; and 6) on July 20, 1999 to modify the minimum of meetings held annually. The proposed amendment and restatement of the Joint Powers Agreement will extend the term for ten years, with ten -year extensions upon mutual agreement, thereafter. Either party may terminate the agreement at any time with a 180 -day written notice. The amendment will also simplify and update the purpose, powers and governance of the Authority. The prior amendments to the Joint Powers agreement will be simplified and prior land grants, which are now irrelevant, will be omitted. 25A -1
