JOINT POWERS AGREEMENT
FOR CRIMINIAL JUSTICE PLANNING
AND ADMINISTRATION
This agreement is made with reference to the following
The cities of Campbell, Gilroy, Los Altos, Town of Los
Altos Hills, Town of Los Gatos, Milpitas, Monte Sereno, Morgan
Hill, Mountain View, Palo Alto, Santa Clara and Sunnyvale (for
brevity, called "the cities ") want to obtain grants of money in
the Law Enforcement Assistance Administration Program (LEAA).
The parties to this agreement, including the County of Santa
Clara, expect that the State of California Office of Criminal
Justice Planning will designate a specific sum of LEAA money for
the cities' use. The Office of Criminal Justice Planning requests
that the cities' applications for LEAA grants be made only after
projects have been jointly selected by the cities, and that
administrative support services for the LEAA program be provided
by the County of Santa Clara. The County is willing to provide
the administrative and support planning services.
The cities make the following agreement:
1. The cities hereby form a Municipal Coordinating
Committee. The Committee is composed of one member representing
each city, selected in a manner to be determined by each.
-1-
3 -2 -79 PWH /j
701 -03
701 -05 -001
2. Although this agreement is made under the provisions
of Government Code sections 6500 -6514, the committee is not a
separate entity or agency, it is a planning body. During the
term of this agreement all of the cities will in all respects
comply with the decisions of the committee concerning what
applications to file or to refrain from filing under the LEAA
program and which city or cities will be applicants, except that
any city may decline to apply for a grant. The cities waive their
right to appeal decisions of the committee.
3. Each committee member has one vote. The committee
acts only by a vote of a majority of its members. Tie votes are
not affirmative votes. In all other respects the committee itself
determines how it proceeds. The committee must, however, establish
its procedures in writing.
4. LEAA grant applications will be made by individual
cities (or by more than one city, voluntarily joining for the
purpose, if that is appropriate). Each successful applicant will
administer the grants made to it, and its principal financial
officer will be responsible for the funds and for any required
audit. Each applicant will take the necessary steps to comply with
the California Environmental Quality Act and any other law or rule
concerning obtaining or using the grant money. In individual grant
transactions the applicants may, by separate agreement with some or
-2-
3 -2 -79 PWH /j
701 -03
701 -05 -001
all of the other cities, provide for sharing of expenses or of
disallowed expenses, hold harmless agreements and other matters.
If there are no such separate agreements, each applicant is
individually responsible for all aspects of the grant transaction,
except for administrative services provided under the provisions
of Part 6 of this agreement.
5. The term of this agreement is from the date on which
it is signed by the last of the cities and the County, through
June 30, 1980. Any party may withdraw from this agreement by
giving written notices, 90 days beforehand, to the principal
executive officers of all of the other parties, at their main
offices. Withdrawal is not effective as to transactions in which
applications are filed before the effective date of withdrawal.
The County and the cities agree:
6. The County will provide all the administrative and
planning services required of it by the State of California Office
of Criminal Justice Planning in connection with the grants which
are the subject of this agreement. The County will not charge
the cities for its services.
7. If LEAA funding to the County to pay for its admini-
strative and planning services is discontinued, the County may
cease its administrative and planning services for grants that
have not at that time already been approved, but will continue its
-3-

701 -05 -001
services to completion for approved grants.
B. The County will approve all decisions of the
Committee concerning the use of the cities' share of LEAA money.
