National City has been a member of the Unified San Diego County Emergency Services Organization, Joint Powers
Authority, for the past 41 years. Periodically this agreement is reviewed and amended as necessary. The last amendment,
the Fourth Amended Emergency Services Agreement, was completed in 1991.
Amendments were made to clarify that the Unified San Diego County Emergency Services Organization was a Joint Powers
Authority (JPA). Other changes were made to designate a Treasurer for the JPA, to remove language that could result in a
conflict with the Brown Act, and other administrative changes. These changes will result in some administrative changes
only; there will be no operational changes.
