requesting that the City of Rancho Palos Verdes resubmit a revised PVPTA Joint Powers
Agreement (Agreement)to the City Council for review and approval.In March 1996 the
PVPTA submitted this Agreement to the three member cities (Rancho Palos Verdes,Palos
Verdes Estates,and Rolling Hills Estates)for review and approval.All three cities
approved the Agreement in April 1996,but the PVPTA does not have a copy signed by all

Rancho Palos Verdes.The PVPTA attorney has recommended that the attached 2012
Agreement be submitted to the member cities for approval.

DISCUSSION
The revised Agreement approved by the three cities in April 1996 made several changes to
the original 1992 Agreement.Copies of both the 1996 and 1992 Agreements are attached.
Deleted language is shown in strikeout and new language is shown as bold italics.These
changes included:
•Provision that anyone of the remaining Council members of each City may
serve as an alternate to the Board.Presently,each City appoints two regular
members to the Board from its governing body.The new provision ensures
that in the event both members are unavailable for a meeting,anyone of the
three remaining members of the Council may serve so that the board has a
quorum and can conduct its business (Section 5-A)
•The Board shall elect a Secretary Treasurer (in addition to the Chairman and
Vice Chairman,which are already provided for).The Secretary-Treasurer
performs the functions previously assigned to the Treasurer of the City of
Rancho Palos Verdes.(Section 5-F)
•The Authority may accept a public agency as an ex-officio member provided
however that such member has no voting powers.This is to allow a
representative of the Palos Verdes Peninsula Unified School District to serve
on the Board (Section 5-H)
•Several additional minor changes have been made to Agreement language.
The City Attorney has reviewed and approved the attached copy of the Palos Verdes
Peninsula Transit Authority Joint Powers Agreement-Revised January 2012
