Key Governance QuestionsWhat specific services, if any, do you want addressed?

What additional information and/or data do you want from LAFCO? Do you have service needs or other governance issues that you want to explore through a governance option?

What other questions or issues can LAFCO assist with that have not been discussed?

Summary of Feedback

General consensus that governance options were not viable at this time.There is interest in participating in ongoing discussions involving the developed and developing communities.County has an important role as an information resource in providing fiscal data related to service costs.

Important that LAFCO continues leadership in a collaborative process keeping stakeholders informed of:
