FROM:
James E. Erickson
DATE:
• March 40 1987
RE:
Legislative Program
Your Executive Director, John Meyer, and ourselves
have prepared drafts of proposed legislation to resolve
outstanding questions regarding the authority of the JPAs to
accomplish their purposes.
The attached drafts consist of three bills that
address the following issues:
1. The *Clean-Up' Bill
A. Clarifies that the calendar year
administrative expenses authorization includes 1986, as well
as the following years.
B. Clarifies that the annual budget
authorization for administrative expenses applies to each
JPA, rather than their individual agency members or all JPAs
now or hereafter formed under such generic legislation.
C. Clarifies that the definition of
'construction' expenses include the cost of design,
acquisition of right -of -way, administration of construction
contracts, actual construction, and environmental,
engineering, accounting, legal, and other such services
necessary for such construction. -
D. Clarifies the relationship of Government
Code §50377.5 (i.e., the AB 3314 - Leonard bill amendments
from last year) and provisions of Government Code § §66484.3
and 50029 on the timing of collection of fees, thereby
permitting the existing fee collection process as a
condition of building permit issuance to continue without
legal question.

2. The "Preservation of the Program" Bill
A. Provides that no change of organization or
reorganization will impair the prior commitment of
predecessor governmental organizations to the JPA programs.

condition changes of organization or reorganization to
require successor governmental organizations to honor the
prior commitments of predecessor governmental organizations
regarding the JPA programs.
C. Provides that successor governmental
organizations to predecessor member agencies of the JPAs are
bound by the 'debt and obligation" of revenue bonds
authorized by the JPA, including installment bonds
authorized but not yet.
3. The "Financing" Bill
A. Clarifies that the JPA, as an independent
agency, can engage in "installment" authorization and
issuance of revenue bonds for the purpose, in addition to
those now authorized, of constructing bridges and major
thoroughfares.
B. Clarifies the JPAs' eminent domain powers
necessary to implement the JPA program.
