of 5 APPENDIX G GENERAL DEFINITION OF TERMS The following are general definitions of terms used within this report. They are not legal definitions, but general statements to aid in comprehension of this report. Contributory Agreement: Contributory Agreements are agreements between a government entity and a private organization where the government entity contributes money and/or facilities to the efforts of the private organization in order to provide a service or otherwise satisfy the needs of the community. Other than the fiscal oversight to assure public money is spent for the designated usage, the government entity has no management responsibilities. Social welfare, mental health, cultural enrichment and recreation are the predominate activities in this category. The majority of the private organizations are non-profit organizations. Co-sponsorship Agreement: This is an agreement between a government entity and a private organization to jointly sponsor an activity or community service. In this type of agreement, the government entity does share in management oversight. Enterprise Funds: Under the management of a government entity, enterprise funds provide services or supplies to citizens for a fee. Joint Powers Agency: Agencies established by government entities to combine the authority of individual entities to meet a common objective or provide a common service more efficiently and effectively. These agencies are governed by a board of designated members from the elected officials of the participating agencies. The Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority is an example of a JPA. Liability Minimizing Agencies: A type of joint powers agency established to minimize the costs to individual government entities while providing expertise that would be costly to duplicate at each entity. Insurance programs and retirement programs are typical of these agencies. G-1 of 2 APPENDIX G GENERAL DEFINITION OF TERMS Maintenance and Operations Agreements: These are agreements between a governmental entity and private organizations for the operation and maintenance of publicly owned facilities while supplying a service to the community. The private organization is generally a nonprofit organization that can take advantage of private contributions and fundraising. The Tech Museum of Innovation is an example of this type of agreement. The oversight responsibilities of the government entity is in the use of the money contributed (if any), that the facilities are being maintained or improved in accordance with the agreement, and that the community services provided by the operators is as specified in the agreement. Special Districts: Often called special tax districts, these districts are single purpose districts that are not tied to city boundaries, but to the area served. They have taxing authority for specific purposes within the geographical boundaries of their district. These districts are generally formed to raise capital for the construction and maintenance of elements of the community infrastructure. Sewer and water systems, roads and parking facilities or fire districts are examples of special districts. The board of directors must be elected by the general public. If the district is completely contained within a city, the city council may, and often does, act as the board of directors of that district. The Santa Clara Water District is the largest special district in the county. G-2 of 2

No succinct definition of a non-profit organization under PC 933.6 was available to the Grand Jury. Therefore, confusion exists as to the Grand Jury’s oversight 2 responsibilities regarding organizations that were established principally to engage in Maintenance and Operations Agreements with a government entity or to provide a specific service to the community.

The City of San Jose did not make available for the Grand Jury a list of the joint powers agencies of which it is a member. In addition, persistent follow-up efforts were required with most other entities to obtain the current listing found in Appendix C. In all cases, the information requested by the Grand Jury had to be prepared by the entity after receipt of the request.

Information on non-profit organizations associated with specific entities, or entities providing community services, was not readily available. It was prepared only in response to the Grand Jury’s request for information. There is no opportunity for either public administrators or the general citizenry to evaluate information about these entities. For example, the San Jose City Auditor’s Report Number 02-12 identifies three non-profit organizations, assigned and using 3 government facilities, that have not had an agreement or lease for several years. These solicitations were additionally complicated by the lack of a definition of non-profit as covered under PC 933.6. If this information is not available to the Grand Jury, it is not available to the general public.
