Each member and parry to this Agreement is a governmental entity established by law
with full powers of government in legislative, administrative, financial, and other related
fields.

responsibilities common to all the member entities within the local region.
The original members contemplated that other public entities might wish to become
parties to CVAG. To that end, the original Joint Powers Agreement and the First
Amendment thereto provided for the admission of additional Coachella Valley public
entities.

recognize that other public entities within the Riverside County desert area can contribute to
and benefit from CVAG's efforts. Accordingly, the members now seek to widen the scope
of participation in CVAG to include other public entities within the area.
