RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CHULA
VISTA OPPOSING THE ADOPTION OF THE REPORT OF THE
INDEPENDENT SPECIAL DISTRICT SELECTION COMMITTEE FOR
REPRESENTATION OF SPECIAL DISTRICTS ON THE LOCAL
AGENCY FORMATION COMMISSION
The City Council of the City of Chula Vista does hereby
resolve as follows:
WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Chula Vista has
heretofore by Resolution No. 4389, adopted on March 25, 1967, opposed
Senate Bill No. 824 which would allow the increase of membership of
Local Agency Formation Commissions from five members to seven, said
additional members to be representatives of special districts, and
WHEREAS, even though said bill has been approved giving
discretion to Local Agency Formation Commissions to approve the increase
of said membership and to allow special district representatives to sit
on the Local Agency Formation Commission, and
WHEREAS, pursuant to the authorization of said SB 824, the
Local Agency Formation Commission of San Diego County did accept the
report and recommendation of the independent Special District Selection
Committee recommending representation of special districts on the Local
Agency Formation Commission, and
WHEREAS, the Local Agency Formation Commission has declared
its intention to approve said recommendation and to conduct a hearing
on said matter on August 2, 1971, and
WHEREAS, it is the position of the City Council of the City
of Chula Vista that said action is clearly inconsistent with the basic
intent and purpose of the District Reorganization Act of 1965 which
would impose as a duty upon the Local Agency Formation Commissions
the earliest possible dissolution of special districts and the dis-
couragement of the formation of new special districts in order to
permit the assumption by cities or other general governments of the
services performed by special districts, and
WHEREAS, this entire direction as recommended by the Special
District Selection Committee is directly contrary to the basic concept
and function of all Local Agency Formation Commissions and will tend
unquestionably, as announced by the representatives of special districts
themselves, to perpetuate and enhance the position of special districts
to the detriment of municipal governments throughout the State of
California and stifle the orderly and planned growth of municipalities.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the
City of Chula Vista does hereby specifically urge, as it has done in
the past on numerous occasions, the rejection of the report of the
independent Special District Selection Committee and also that the Local
Agency Formation Commission of San Diego County establish principles and
procedures for the conduct of their business so as to carry out the
basic purpose and intent of the District Reorganization Act of 1965 and
end the domination of unincorporated territories by special district
groups thus defeating the ability of incorporation of urbanized areas
into municipalities where general governmental services may be offered.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the City Clerk of the City of Chula
Vista be, and she is hereby authorized and directed to forward certified
copies of this resolution to all of the cities within San Diego County,
and that said cities be, and they are hereby urged to have representation
at the public hearing of the Local Agency Formation Commission on August 2,
1971 to vigorously oppose the inclusion of members of special districts
on the Local Agency Formation Commission.
