| RECOMMENDED ACTION |
| Adopt Resolution 2019-15 regarding the reorganization to establish RD 900 as a subsidiary district to the City of West Sacramento; detach the city portion of RD 537 and its sphere of Influence (SOI); annex RD 537's detached territory, RD 537's SOI, and the balance of RD 900's SOI within the West Sacramento Basin Levee System into RD 900 (LAFCo #926) per the amount of protest received. |
| FISCAL IMPACT |
| No fiscal impact to LAFCo. Per the terms and conditions, the City of West Sacramento is required to reimburse Yolo LAFCo for any processing costs that exceed the application deposits. |
| REASONS FOR RECOMMENDED ACTION |
| LAFCo approved this proposal on July 25, 2019. Government Code §57000 et. seq. requires a protest hearing after the Commission approves agency reorganization without 100% consent from the landowners to allow landowners and registered voters an additional opportunity to file oral or written protests to the reorganization. The Yolo LAFCo delegated this Conducting Authority Hearing to staff as specified by Government Code Section 57000(c), which is scheduled for November 13, 2019 at 10:00 a.m. at the City of West Sacramento. The purpose of this item is to adopt the resolution certifying the results and ordering next steps based on the amount of protest received. |
| BACKGROUND |
The City of West Sacramento initiated and filed an application to establish RD 900 as a subsidiary district. LAFCo approved this proposal with boundary modifications on July 25, 2019. This proposal effectively aligns RD 900 to the West Sacramento Basin Levee System.
The hearing for this proposal has been properly noticed, posted, and published as required by the Cortese-Knox-Hertzberg Act. Notice of this protest hearing has been provided to subject and affected agencies. Because the landowners and registered voters within the affected territory exceeded 1,000, notice was provided via 1/8 page display ad in the West Sacramento News-Ledger.
If protests are filed by less than 25% of the number of landowners owning less than 25% of the assessed value of land/registered voters, the Commission shall order the reorganization. If between 25% - 50% of the landowner/voters file protests, the Commission shall order the reorganization subject to an election. Over 50% protest automatically terminates the proposal.
The draft resolution provided in the staff report assumes less than 25% protest will be reached and orders the reorganization. Staff will provide an updated resolution at the meeting based upon the actual protest results. |
