Llerton I Hool District The Honorable Glenda Sanders Presiding Judge Orange County Superior Court*

Vertical Joint Powers Authorities with a single controlling entity, such as a city council, have the potential to use this organizational structure as a shell company to avoid other legal constraints on the controlling entity and to obfuscate taxpayer visibility. Response to Finding 4: The Fullerton School District disagrees completely with this finding. This finding does not apply to the Fullerton School District.

Vertical Joint Authorities in which the controlling entity transfers assets from itself to a Joint Powers Authority for the purpose of obtaining additional funding, or signs a long-term lease to a Joint Powers Authority to obtain assets, are avoiding transparency and are not acting in the best interest of the taxpayers. Response to Finding 5: The Fullerton School District disagrees completely with this finding. This finding does not apply to the Fullerton School District.

32 of the Joint Powers Authorities identified in Orange County are not complying with the California State reporting requirements in code Section 6500 and SB 282 according to the latest information available from the year 2013.
