Dear Mayors and Councilmembers,
First of all, I want to thank you for my recent reappointment to be the
Sonoma County cities' representative on the Bay Area Air Quality
Management District. I appreciate the confidence you have shown in
reappointing me, and will endeavor to work conscientiously for our
county and our regional interests.
Today I am writing to ask for your support to continue my work as a city
representative on the Local Agency Formation Commission ( LAFCO).
For more than four years I have chaired LAFCO's policy committee.
Sonoma County's LAFCO has been a highly functioning and cooperativ(
agency as we have facilitated development of Cloverdale's UGB,
forwarded the annexation of Roseland by Santa Rosa, and overseen the
detachment of the Russian River communities from the Palm Drive
Health Care District.
I am the newly elected chair of the LAFCO commission, and would very
much like to continue serving on this important countywide body. The
work we have before us includes working with special districts as they
adapt to the current and emerging environment. Fire and emergency
services, health care districts and sustainable ground water agencies are
all in flux as legislation evolves to the new needs of our county's
population and local governments.
If you have any questions, please contact me at 707.953.0846 or email
me at teresa4petaluma(:c�com cast. net.
Again, I would appreciate your support. Thank you for your
consideration.
Sincerely,
Teresa Barrett,
Petaluma City Council
