Joint Exercise of Powers Act in California

What Is the Joint Exercise of Powers Act?

The Joint Exercise of Powers Act allows two or more public agencies to agree to jointly exercise any power they hold in common, or to create a separate entity to do so. (Gov. Code, ยง 6502; Zack v. Marin Emergency Radio Authority (2004) 118 Cal.App.4th 617, 628.)

โ€œFor the purposes of this article, the agency is a public entity separate from the parties to the agreementโ€ and the agency โ€œshall have the power to sue and be sued in its own name.โ€ (Gov. Code, ยง 6507 & ยง 6508; San Diegans for Open Gov. v. City of San Diego (2015) 242 Cal.App.4th 416, 436.) However, ยง 6509 allows the signatories to a joint powers agreement to designate one constituent agency whose procedural requirements will govern the agency in the exercise of common powers. (Zack v. Marin Emergency Radio Authority (2004) 118 Cal.App.4th 617, 638.)

Government Tort Claims Act

The Government Tort Claims Act governs tort actions against public entities and public employees. (Gov. Code, ยงยง 810 et seq.)

The Government Tort Claims Act regulates liability imposed upon public entities pursuant to a joint powers agreement. (Gov. Code, ยงยง 810 et seq.) โ€œWhenever any public entities enter into an agreement, they are jointly and severally liable.โ€ (Gov. Code, ยง 895.2; Ross v. Campbell USD (1977) 70 Cal.App.3d 113, 118.) A new entity created by a joint powers agreement shares in that liability as it is part of โ€œan agreement under which a public entity undertakes to perform any function, service or act with or for any other public entity or employee with its consent.โ€ (Gov. Code, ยง 895.)

Rulings for Joint Exercise of Powers Act in California

CRIA is not a county-related agency, it is a joint powers authority formed pursuant to the Joint Exercise of Powers Act, Government Code Section 6500, et seq.โ€ (Reply, 2:7-10). The foregoing language is vague to the court. If CRIA is suggesting that it need not file a statement with the county clerk, it should provide the court with supportive authority before or at the time of the hearing.

It is additionally unclear to the Court whether the Joint Exercise of Powers Act was then in effect in 1889 when the Compromise was signed, or whether this Act was intended to apply retroactively.
