A quick definition of joint powers agreement:

A joint powers agreement is a contract between two or more public agencies, like a city or school district, that allows them to work together to provide services or share powers. This agreement can let one agency do something for another agency, or create a new agency that works for all of them. It only lets them do things that they all have the legal power to do. Some states, like California and Minnesota, allow joint powers agreements.

A more thorough explanation:

A joint powers agreement is a contract between two or more public agencies, like a city, county, school district, or special district. This agreement allows the agencies to work together to provide services or exercise shared powers outside of their normal jurisdiction.

For example, a city and a county might enter into a joint powers agreement to share the cost of a new park that is located on the border between their jurisdictions. The agreement would allow both agencies to contribute funds and resources to the project, and to jointly manage and maintain the park once it is built.

Another example might be a joint powers agreement between a school district and a city to provide after-school programs for students. The agreement would allow the school district to use city facilities and resources to offer programs that benefit students, while the city benefits from having more young people engaged in positive activities.

Joint powers agreements are a way for public agencies to work together to achieve common goals and provide better services to their communities. By pooling their resources and expertise, agencies can often accomplish more than they could on their own.

I wouldn't say trauma, the trauma would probably come from seeing my friends head get crushed by an LTV and feeling the bag of glass that was his skull in my hands. Or knowing a kid I mentored shot himself with a bullet he used to keep around his neck that I allowed him to have illegally.

Winter is tattoo season because you are less likely to be in the sun exposing the healng tattoos, you dont go swimming or tanning in winter either so you don't miss out on the fun stuff of summer
