The Program is organized, coordinated and implemented in accordance with a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) signed by each agency or Co-permittee.  The MOA was signed in 1990 and updated in 1999. The MOA covers the responsibilities of each Co-permittee and provides a cost-sharing formula for joint expenditures.  Program by-laws were also updated and approved in 1999. 

The Management Committee is the official decision-making body for the Program.  It  consists of one designated representative from each Co-permittee.

In September 1997, the Management Committee retained EOA, Inc. to provide program management services.  The City of Sunnyvale is the Program's fiscal agent and contracts with the Program Manager.

Ad Hoc Task Groups are formed by the Management Committee to address specific issues or work items. These are generally small, short-lived groups comprised of Co-permittee representatives and Program staff with expertise in the issue at hand. Once the Ad Hoc Task Group’s assignment is completed to the satisfaction of the Management Committee, the group is disbanded. The status of each Ad Hoc Task Group is reviewed monthly.
