FISCAL IMPACT

No fiscal impact. The LAFCo budget included staff costs and GIS work to complete the MSR in-house.

REASONS FOR RECOMMENDED ACTION

The Cortese-Knox-Hertzberg Local Government Reorganization Act of 2000 (CKH Act) is LAFCo’s governing law and outlines the requirements for preparing periodic Municipal Service Reviews (MSRs) and Sphere of Influence (SOI) updates. MSRs and SOIs are tools created to empower LAFCo to satisfy its legislative charge of “discouraging urban sprawl, preserving open space and prime agricultural lands, efficiently providing government services, and encouraging the orderly formation and development of local agencies based upon local conditions and circumstances.”

An MSR is conducted prior to, or in conjunction with, the update of an SOI. LAFCos are required to review an agency's SOI every five years. An MSR evaluates the structure and operations of agency services and includes a discussion of the capability and capacity of the agency to ensure the provision of municipal services to the existing service area and any future growth of the agency’s boundaries. The SOI indicates the probable future physical boundaries and service area of an agency and lays the groundwork for potential future reorganizations. Yolo LAFCo staff utilizes a checklist format for MSRs that allows staff to streamline a consistent assessment of each agency’s municipal services. Based on the findings of the MSR checklist, staff can recommend whether a SOI update is warranted.
