RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CHULA
VISTA SUPPORTING AB 498
The City Council of the City of Chula Vista does hereby
resolve as follows:
WHEREAS, the recent Appellate Court decision of Resource
Defense Fund v. Santa Cruz Local Agency Formation Commission held
that the legislature specifically mandated that local agency
formation commissions must have an adopted sphere of influence for
local government agencies within its jurisdiction in order to
initiate, review, approve, or conditionally approve, or disapprove
proposals affecting that local agency, including annexations to
such agencies, and
WHEREAS, in San Diego County, there are over 90 special
districts, 76 of which are necessarily involved in annexation to
any local agency, and 13 cities, all of which would require LAFCO
approved spheres of influence to annex any territories to those
cities, and
WHEREAS, out of all of those local agencies, only Vista,
Carlsbad, San Marcos and Escondido have LAFCO approved spheres of
influence, and
WHEREAS, it is not reasonable to assume that proper
procedures can be expected to be implemented within a reasonable
period of time to allow for the adoption of the required spheres
of influence, and
WHEREAS, three bills have been introduced in the
legislature which would extend the time for the requirement of the
adoption of spheres of influence, all of which are in response to
the Santa Cruz decision, and
WHEREAS, the bill by Senator Marks, SB 255, would
specify January 1, 1985 as that deadline date, SB 322 would
specify January 1, 1987 and AB 498 would specify January 1, 1986,
and
WHEREAS, the Legislative Committee of the City of Chula
Vista has recommended the endorsement by the City Council of AB
498, but would have no opposition to SB 322 specifying a later
date as the deadline.
-1-
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of
the City of Chula Vista does hereby go on record in support of AB
498 with the proviso that other legislation which would equally
specify the need for a reasonable period of time in which to
accomplish the legislative goals for adopting spheres of influence
Would be favorably viewed.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the City Council does hereby
authorize the Mayor to send a letter or other communication to all
members of the government committees conducting a hearing on this
matter and urge the immediate adoption of required legislation to
defer the deadline for compliance with the legislation as mandated
by the Santa Cruz case.
Presented and Approved as to form by
George D. Lindberg, City Attorney
