Description

This is a sample of a Joint Exercise of Powers Agreement Creating a Habitat Cooperative. Joint powers agreements are contracts between two or more public agencies - such as a city, county, school district, or special district (e.g., a municipal utilities authority) - which allows the agencies to cooperatively provide services or exercise shared powers outside each agency's normal jurisdiction. This form is a generic example that may be referred to when preparing such a form for your particular state. It is for illustrative purposes only. Local laws should be consulted to determine any specific requirements for such a form in a particular jurisdiction. California Joint Exercise of Powers Agreement Creating a Habitat Cooperative (JPA) is an agreement between two or more local governments in California to cooperate in the acquisition, restoration, management, and preservation of land for habitat conservation and protection. Pas are voluntary partnerships among local governments, and the agreement allows for the sharing of resources and responsibilities, the pooling of funds, and the transfer of powers and duties from one local government to another. The JPA is used by local governments to create a cooperative that will help conserve, restore, and manage habitat for fish and wildlife, and can include activities such as acquisition of land, construction of trails and other facilities, monitoring, and enforcement of regulations. The agreement can also be used to create cooperative management plans or permit processes, provide technical assistance, and coordinate research and monitoring. There are three types of California Joint Exercise of Powers Agreement Creating a Habitat Cooperative: 1) the General JPA, which provides general guidance for the formation of a habitat cooperative; 2) the Regional JPA, which focuses on particular geographic areas or projects; and 3) the Multi-Agency JPA, which involves multiple local government agencies.
