1 ORANGE COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS ACTION AGENDA ITEM ABSTRACT Meeting Date: January 31, 2012 Action Agenda Item No. a SUBJECT: Discussion on Intergovernmental Agreements Approval and Recognitions at Board Meetings DEPARTMENT: Board of Commissioners PUBLIC HEARING: (Y/N) No ATTACHMENT(S): Under Separate Cover INFORMATION CONTACT: Attachment A— Examples of Board- Clerk's Office, 245-2130 Approved Intergovernmental John Roberts, 245-2318 Agreements Attachment B — Excerpt from June 16, 2011 Approved BOCC Meeting Minutes Attachment C — Excerpt from November 10, 2011 Approved BOCC Meeting Minutes Attachment D — Listing of Past Recognitions PURPOSE: To discuss the approval process for intergovernmental agreements and contracts and consider criteria for that approval process; and to discuss whether or not to have a standing policy and/or process/criteria for requests from Board members as it relates to recognizing an individual, group or corporate entity's accomplishments at a BOCC Regular meeting. BACKGROUND: Interqovernmental Aqreements At the June 7, 2011 regular meeting the County Attorney suggested the Board authorize the County Manager to sign intergovernmental service agreements within the current contract signature authority. The Board stated it needed more information to make a determination of the appropriate signature authority including the type of service agreements involved and examples of the amounts involved. Attachment A provides examples of intergovernmental agreements that have been approved by the Board since June of 2011. One approach to delegating signature authority could be that the Board authorize the Manager to sign new, renewal or amended intergovernmental service agreements in amounts under $90,000. The Board would retain signature authority over intergovernmental service agreements of $90,000 or more and also would retain signature authority over all non-service intergovernmental agreements.
