ASSOCIATION OF GOVERNMENTS TO ADOPT THE POSITION THAT MEMBERSHIP
IN SCAG REMAIN VOLUNTARY, THAT SCAG REMAIN WITHOUT DIRECT TAXING
POWERS, THAT ITS FINANCING BE OBTAINED BY DUES AND GRANTS AND THAT
ITS GOVERNING BOARD BE COMPOSED OF MAYORS, COUNCILMEN AND COUNTY
SUPERVISORS OF ITS MEMBER CITIES AND COUNTIES
THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF VERNON RESOLVES AS FOLLOWS:
WHEREAS, the Southern California Association of Governments
(SCAG) is in the process of determining its mode of operation for
the future; and
WHEREAS, certain recommendations being considered include
(1) funding SCAG ~y direct taxation of the people from sources such
, ,

14 region, and (3) election to the executive committee of the organi-

21
zation hy direct vote of the people; and
WHEREAS, the implementation of a plan, such as that being
considered, which provides for the direct election of executive
committee members from a large area would erode the control of
SCAG now exercised by the member cities and counties, seriously
impede or prevent a city or county and its delegate from inf1uen~
cing SCAG decisions, api would thereby reduce the effectiveness of
22 medium and small cities; and
23
WHEREAS, the City of Vernon finds that adoption and imp1e~
24 mentation of such an operational plan, in whole or in part, would
25 be destructive of home rule and would add another bureaucratic
26
27
28
layer of government for the already over-burdened taxpayer;
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED:
Section 1: The City of Vernen recognizes the need for
29
coordination of proj ects and cooperative pro,b1em solving on matters
30 which effect several cities, or several counties, or a combination
31 of these where jurisdictional boundaries must be for the purpose
32 ignored in order to complete the project or solve the problem at
