That the City Council adopts the Resolution (Attachment II) authorizing the City Manager to execute a new Joint Exercise of Powers Agreement for the Hayward Area Shoreline Planning Agency (HASPA) and appropriate $31,800 from the General Fund for dues to operate the HASPA for Fiscal Year 2025 (FY 2025).

SUMMARY
The Hayward Area Shoreline Planning Agency (HASPA) is a Joint Powers Authority (JPA) currently comprised of three trustee agencies: the East Bay Regional Park District (EBRPD), the City of Hayward and the Hayward Area Recreation and Park District (HARD). Following the adoption of the Hayward Regional Shoreline Adaptation Master Plan (Shoreline Master Plan), HASPA seeks to expand membership in the Agency, and have its powers and functions reflect the new mission of responding to climate change impacts at the shoreline. As a result, staff collaborated on a new JPA agreement which proposed to add the Oro Loma Sanitary District (OLSD) and the Alameda County Mosquito Abatement District (ACMAD) and changes to the organizational structure to help facilitate implementation of the Shoreline Master Plan. To increase HASPA’s capacity and enable it to hire a professional manager, the HASPA Board of Trustees have recommended increased dues for member agencies. The City’s dues are proposed to be $31,800 in FY 2025.
