WHEREAS, the City of National City finds that a regional agency should be

WHEREAS, AB 2095 and SB 1703 call for the creation of a permanent public
entity known as the San Diego Regional Agency, and the Agency will be governed by board
members selected by the governing body of each city in the county, and a member of the San
Diego County Board of Supervisors; and
WHEREAS, AB 2095 and SB 1703 also require creation and adoption of a

investment strategy, within a regional framework; and
WHEREAS, the regional plan should be based on the local general and regional
plans and address interregional issues with surrounding counties and Mexico; and

planning, programming, project development, and construction; and
