Orange, Riverside, San Bernardino, and Ventura) and 187 cities that make up the Southern
California region; and
Whereas, SCAG was initially formed in October 28, 1965, when local elected officials from 56
cities and five counties first convened to begin planning Southern California's future on a
regional basis; and
Whereas, SCAG has long been dedicated to developing regional solutions to the many
transportation, air quality, housing, land use, and other issues facing Southern California; and
Whereas, SCAG has developed, and continues to develop, regional transportation plans
intended to identify Southern California's long-term transportation needs while protecting the
region's air quality; and
Whereas, SCAG has developed a series of strategies through the Southern California
Compass growth visioning initiative intended to provide for more effective local land use and
transportation decision-making; and
Whereas, SCAG serves as the regional agency responsible for implementing the state
Regional Housing Needs Assessment program on behalf of Southern California in an effort to
establish goals for future housing needs; and
Whereas, SCAG has remained dedicated to its mission statement of "Leadership, Vision and
Progress, which promote economic, personal well-being and livable communities for all
Southern Californians."
Now therefore, be it resolved, that the City of Palm Springs commemorates SCAG's 40 years
