Re: Extension of Joint Powers Agreement for Hazardous Materials Spills Management
Dear Nancy Mackie,
As you know, the above referenced Agreement expires on June 30, 2015. 1 am in the process of
reviewing the Agreement and will be contacting all of the agencies during the next 6-9 months
to make any necessary improvements.
In the interim, we would like to extend the terms of the Agreement for one more year so that
the expiration date would be June 30, 2016. Accordingly, it is hereby requested that you gain
approval from your agency for the Agreement's extension for one additional year. County
Counsel has indicated that this letter can serve as the extension of the Agreement so long as
each Agency signs the letter (below) to be bound by the original Agreement. I have attached
the original Agreement for your review.
Please contact me if you have any questions regarding this matter.
Very truly yours, Jason Weber, Marin County Fire Chiefs Association
By signing this letter, The City of San Rafael agrees to the extension of all of the terms of the
'Joint Powers Agreement for Hazardous Materials Spills Management' that was signed by the
parties in 2005, excepting Section 3, which is hereby modified to have a termination date of
June 30, 2016. All other provisions of the Agreement including Section 3 will remain in full
force and effect.
