Common use of Transparency and Accountability Clause in Contracts

Transparency and Accountability. The current draft JPA makes explicit what was always implicit: namely, that the Authority is subject to all of the laws that are applicable to the County. (JPA, Article 27.) In addition to that general statement, the JPA specifically notes applicability of the New Mexico Open Meetings Act, requiring all meetings to be held in the Pojoaque Basin or elsewhere in Santa Fe County (JPA, Article 6.F), the New Mexico Inspection of Public Records Act (JPA, Article 13), the New Mexico Audit Act (JPA, Article 9.B), and the New Mexico Procurement Code (JPA, Article 8.A).
