FROM: Lori Zeller, Deputy Chief
Administration& Support Bureau
SUBJECT: Fourth Amendment to Amended Joint Powers Authority(JPA)Agreement
A proposed Fourth Amendment to the OCFA Joint Powers Authority Agreement was approved by the OCFA
Board of Directors (as to form) on October 25, 2018, to formalize the OCFA's commitment to its
"snowball" accelerated pension liability paydown plan. Further, staff was directed to submit the Fourth
Amendment to each agency's governing body for approval.
We are now requesting our member agencies to begin submitting the proposed Fourth Amendment to their
City Councils or Board of Supervisors for consideration in the coming months. While there is no definitive
deadline, we hope to complete the approval process no later than March 2019.
To facilitate this action, we have enclosed a sample staff report for your use in agendizing this matter. In
addition, we have enclosed the proposed Fourth Amendment. Should your governing body approve the
Fourth Amendment, we request that you return an executed signature page to Sherry Wentz, Clerk of the
Authority. Ms. Wentz will provide a fully executed copy of the Fourth Amendment to all OCFA member
agencies upon completion.
Please identify a meeting date in which this item can be considered,and coordinate that date with me or your
Division Chief so we can ensure our availability to attend the meeting to address any questions. If you have
any questions, please call me at(714) 573-6020.
