City Council

9.4 APPROVAL OF THE LOS ANGELES REGION INTEGRATED REGIONAL WATER\nMANAGEMENT AUTHORITY (“GWMA”) AMENDED AND RESTATED JOINT\nEXCERCISE OF POWER AUTHORITY AGREEMENT\nComments:\nThe Los Angeles Gateway Region Integrated Regional Water Management Joint Powers\nAuthority (“Gateway Water Management Authority” or “GWMA”) was established in 2007\n4\nby a Joint Powers Authority Agreement (“JPA”), to address the state’s efforts that\nencouraged and prioritized regional, multi-party, and/or multi-benefit projects for\ncompetitive funding. Because GWMA’s membership and responsibilities have grown and\nevolved since its inception, the JPA Agreement is now being amended to best reflect\ncurrent and anticipated activities, roles, and responsibilities. Each member is now\nrequested to formally adopt the updated JPA Agreement, as presented. (PW)\nRecommendation:\nStaff recommends that the City Council adopt the attached resolution entitled: “A\nRESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF LYNWOOD APPROVING\nTHE AMENDED AND RESTATED JOINT EXERCISE OF POWERS AUTHORITY\nAGREEMENT, AS PRESENTED AND AUTHORIZE THE MAYOR TO EXECUTE\nAGREEMENT”
