CITY COUNCIL <br />AGENDA ITEM 3C <br />STAFF ORIGINATOR: Jeff Karlson, City Administrator <br />MEETING DATE: December 14, 2015 <br />TOPIC: 1st Reading of Ordinance No. 14-15, Adding Chapter 215 to the <br />Lino Lakes Code of Ordinances, regarding Joint Powers <br />Agreements <br />VOTE REQUIRED: 3/5 <br />INTRODUCTION <br />The city enters into agreements with other governmental units to jointly provide services or <br />work on mutual projects. <br />BACKGROUND <br />Joint powers agreements are usually limited in scope and duration and do not result in creation <br />of a joint powers entity. However, when a joint powers board is established and there is a <br />requirement for ongoing financial contributions from the City, it is not appropriate for the City <br />to be held to a governing position that is disproportionate to the amount of support provided. <br />By adding Chapter 215 to the Lino Lakes Code of Ordinances, language is in place that ensures <br />that the City will not participate in a joint powers agreement unless voting powers on a <br />governing board are proportional to the City's financial obligations relative to the other board <br />members. <br />RECOMMENDATION <br />Consideration of the 1St Reading of Ordinance No. 14-15, Adding Chapter 215 to the City Code <br />relating to Joint Powers Agreements. <br />ATTACHMENTS <br />Ordinance No. 14-15 <br />
