Staff Report
Subject: CVAG Membership for Twenty-Nine Palms Band of Mission Indians
Contact: Tom Kirk, Executive Director (tkirk@cvag.org)
Recommendation: Approve Addendum No. 2 to the Third Amendment and Restatement of the
CVAG Joint Powers Agreement, which establishes the Twenty-Nine Palms Band of Mission
Indians as a formal member and direct the Executive Director to distribute to member
jurisdictions for approval
Administrative/ Personnel Committee: CONCURS (Meeting of April 19th)
Background: CVAG was formed in November 1973 with the approval of the first Joint Powers
Agreement (JPA). In 1989 – after voters passed Measure A – CVAG amended and restated the JPA to
specify its role as the regional transportation authority. In 1998, the JPA was amended again to include
the City of Blythe as a member. CVAG’s members have since authorized separate JPA agreements for
the Coachella Valley Conservation Commission and for Desert Community Energy.
In April 2018, the Executive Committee approved the Third Amendment to the Joint Powers Authority,
which better reflected CVAG’s mission and organizational structure and included the Agua Caliente
Band of Cahuilla Indians and the Cabazon Band of Mission Indians. Most recently, in December 2019,
the Torres Martinez Desert Cahuilla Indians re-joined CVAG through an addendum approved by each
CVAG jurisdiction.
As mentioned at the February 23, 2021 Executive Committee meeting, CVAG staff was approached by
the Chairman of the Twenty-Nine Palms Band of Mission Indians, and the tribe is requesting to join
CVAG. The letter is attached for member information. CVAG Legal Counsel has reviewed Addendum
No. 2 to the JPA to add this membership. Once approved by the Executive Committee, CVAG staff will
re-circulate the JPA Addendum No. 2 to all its member jurisdictions for their approval and signature.
Given the addition of two member jurisdictions, CVAG’s By-Laws will need to be updated to include
both the Torres Martinez Desert Cahuilla Indians and the Twenty-Nine Palms Band of Mission Indians
in the officer rotation, which has a specified rotation order. CVAG staff will present the updated By-Laws
at a future Executive Committee agenda for approval.
Fiscal Analysis: There is no fiscal impact to the JPA addendum. The costs involved in recirculating
the JPA will be covered under existing staff time. Upon membership, representatives of the Twenty-
Nine Palms Tribe will receive per diems/stipend for attending meetings.
