RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CHULA
VISTA, URGING THE LEAGUE OF CALIFORNIA CITIES TO
SUPPORT AMENDMENTS TO THE DISTRICT REORGANIZATION
ACT OF 1965, SETTING FORTH PROCEDURAL REQUIREMENTS
AND POLICIES FOR LOCAL AGENCY FORMATION COMMISSIONS
The City Council of the City of Chula Vista does hereby
resolve as follows:
WHEREAS, through the creation of local agency formation
commissions in all counties throughout the state, the State of
California has created the most powerful agency to control logical ~
growth and sound planning of all of the cities of the State of
California, and to eliminate the multiplicity of special districts
in the State of California, and
WHEREAS, after nearly seven years of operation, it has
become increasingly apparent that although the local agency formation
commissions have made major contributions to both goals in some areas
of the state, it must be recognized that they have fallen short of
the mark in carrying out the intent of the legislation, e.g., there
are today more special districts in the State of California than
there were at the time of the creation of the local agency formation
commissions, and cities in many areas continue to grow in a haphazard
manner, often thwarted in their desire to intelligently incorporate
areas which constitute logical annexations by local agency formation
commissions which are not completely dedicated to the goals of the
legislation, and
WHEREAS, it is virtually impossible to challenge the
decisions of the commissions because they function in a legislative
capacity and the courts are not willing to substitute their judgment
for the wisdom of said decisions.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the
City of Chula Vista that the League of California Cities be urged
to recommend and support legislation amending the District Reorganiza-
tion Act of 1965, to establish mandatory directions for all local
agency formation commissions, which would require that the commissions
take positive actions in behalf of the cities, and in all cases where
the alternatives for providing services to unincorporated areas are
either through a special district or from a city by means of
annexation or contract with county service areas, that the commission
must, if at all feasible, direct that said services be provided by
the cities.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the League be urged to support
legislation establishing procedural guidelines and requirements for
fact finding on the part of local agency formation commissions, thus
establishing the commissions as administrative bodies whose determina-
tions would be subject to review by the courts.
