TO: City Council FROM: Lianne Marshall Interim City Manager /Executive Director BY: Jayne Williams City Attorney FINANCE REVIEW: Not Applicable TITLE: Staff Report for Amendment to Associated Community Action Program (ACAP) Joint Powers Authority Agreement RECOMMENDATIONS The Associated Community Action Program (ACAP) is a joint powers authority (JPA) with a governing board comprised of elected officials from its member agencies. The members include Alameda County and the following twelve cities within Alameda County: Alameda, Albany, Dublin, Emeryville, Fremont, Hayward, Livermore, Newark, Piedmont, Pleasanton, San Leandro, and Union City. Over the last several months, ACAP has experienced financial and performance issues, and its members have had to advance funds to cover liabilities and commitments that ACAP has not been able to meet. The ACAP Board of Directors and its members have taken numerous collective steps to wind up ACAP's affairs. The representatives of the members, and the ACAP Board of Directors have determined that the existing joint powers agreement that created ACAP be amended to reflect the current status of ACAP. The ACAP Board is recommending approval by the City Council of amendments to the JPA that will define ACAP's responsibilities to: (1) narrow ACAP's role to winding up its affairs, so as to limit future exposure for member agencies, and (2) change the Board representation to the City and County Managers rather than the elected officials from the member agencies that currently serve in that role.
