INFORMATION
ON THE
COUNCIL ON INTERGOVERNMENTAL RELATIONS

The Council on Intergovernmental Relations (CIR) is one of eight State
agencies reporting to the Governor.

ORIGIN

Chapter 1908, Statutes of 1963, created the COORDINATING COUNCIL
on URBAN POLICY as an advisory body in the office of the Governor.
During 1966-1967 the Council was renamed as the INTER-
GOVERNMENTAL COUNCIL on URBAN GROWTH. With the
reogranization of the Executive branch of California State Government in
1968, the present title of the CALIFORNIA COUNCIL on
INTERGOVERNMENTAL RELATIONS came into being.

STRUCTURE

The COUNCIL is composed of 18 members who are appointed by the
Governor for four year terms. Membership includes three city officers, three
county officers, two school district officers, six State officers and four
members form the public at large. The city, county and school district
members are appointed from lists of names submitted by the League of
California Cities, County Supervisors Association of California and the State
Board of Education, respectively. The members form the public at large are
citizens from the private sector who have evidenced interest in State and
regional affairs and the act provides that the Governor appoint the chairman
from among the private sector members. The COUNCIL structure is quite
similar to that of the Federal Advisory Commission on Intergovernmental
Relations (/ACIR).
