Partners

Introduction

The RMC’s territory contains a large number of governmental and non-governmental organizations. The RMC has both formal and informal partnerships with many of these organizations and these partnerships cover a range from very close to casual. Because these partnerships are so complex, we’ve attempted to bring some clarity to them here.

Elected Officials includes the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors, Orange County Board of Supervisors, California Assembly, California Senate, California Governor, U.S. House of Representatives, and U.S. Senate. These institutions all have significant funding, legislative and regulatory impacts on the RMC.
Cities are the seventy-nine cities in the RMC’s territory.
Others (all of the other partners) is a complex mix with whom the RMC has complex relations. The other partners consist of government agencies (federal, state, and local), coordinating organizations, businesses, and nonprofit organizations (national, state, and local).

The relationships between the RMC and these other partners involve the RMC’s mission and the partners’ functions (some of these partners are listed at bottom of the page). The RMC’s mission statement includes the categories of Open Space and Habitat, Water, and Education. Partners include:

Regulators includes only governmental organizations
Funders includes only funders of other organizations
Planners includes only planners for more than one community
Operators includes only operators of regional facilities
Stakeholders includes only those which have none of the other functions

In an attempt to explain the RMC’s relationships with these other partners, subsets of these other partners are listed in three categories:
