| BACKGROUND |
The Work Management Plan is separated into two major sections: LAFCo and Shared Services. The LAFCo section addresses the workload involved in maintaining the legally mandated MSR/SOI (Municipal Services Review/Sphere of Influence) updates, applications, policy analysis and administrative duties associated with our LAFCo function. Shared Services reflects our proactive and evolving commitment to the Shared Services Program for agencies countywide and promoting agency collaboration.

In addition, the Executive Officer continues to serve a two-year term as the Deputy Executive Officer to CALAFCO representing the Central Region. Staff is also working on a plan to scan all the LAFCo files at archives and make them available on a searchable database. |
