City Manager

Re: FYI 1 Annual Dues Assessment
Dear Mr. Fresch,
Due to the continuing economic crisis and its impact on local government agencies, the
Regional Council of the Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG) has
approved a waiver of 10% of the FY 2010-11 Membership Dues for its member agencies.
The action is consistent with the agency's bylaws, which allow the Regional Council to
defer, waive or reduce payment of the annual dues for not more than one year at a time.
The waiver will not change the basis of calculation for future assessments. While it will
reduce, General Fund income, SCAG's FY2010-11 General Fund budget will remain
balanced.
If you have any questions about your dues assessment, please contact Basil Panas,
Manager of Accounting, at 213.236.1817.
We appreciate your ongoing support and look forward to continuing to work with you as
we confront the challenging times ahead of us.
Sincerely,
Wayne Moore
Chief Financial Officer
