WHEREAS, the Southern California Association of Governments has endorsed and is attempting to reaffirm a position formally adopted in 1972 to have legislation enacted which would transform SCAG into a statutory agency; and WHEREAS, SCAG presently does not have status as a statutory agency, membership in SCAG is optional, and SCAG acts primarily as a planning and reviewing agency with only those regulatory powers which are necessary to carry out these functions; and WHEREAS, legislation making SCAG a statutory agency would require mandatory membership by public agencies in the jurisdiction of SCAG and would erode local control over land use decisions and state and federal subventions by creating another stratum of regulatory power; NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of Costa Mesa opposes transformation of the Southern California Association of Governments, SCAG, into a statutory agency; BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Costa Mesa City Council opposes the addition of any new powers to SCAG and that SCAG should continue to operate in its present capacity as a planning and reviewing agency.
