1. Letter dated December 19 2003 from Sonoma LAFCO'
Summary Statement The LAFCO statute directs the county, .cities and independent special districts to
share in paying net operating expenses of the Commission, with each group paying one -third of net costs.
The statute also allows LAFCOs to utilize alternate methods of apportionment.
As. a result of new legislation, funding from the four health care/hospital districts would be reduced to
zero, for the time being. To plan for the future, an ad .hoc, committee was formed to explore alternative
methods of cost apportionment. The committee recommended the Commission pursue changing the
apportionment from the .present 1/3 — 1/3 — 1/3 formula to one under which 40% of net funding would
come from the county, 40% from the cities as a whole, and 20% from independent special districts. The
Commission approved the proposal and is now seeking input :from all the affected agencies regarding this
change.
Per statute, approval of'this change and subsequent implerrientation. would require a majority vote of
the Board of Supervisors; a majority vote of the cities representing a majority of the total population of
cities in the county; and a. majority vote of the independent, special districts representing a majority of the
comliined total population of independent special districts in the county.
Using the 40 -40 -20 formula, LAFCO has estimated ,Petalurna's new share would be $17,733.93,
reflecting an approximate increase of $2,000. This - figure ;inay change once revenue numbers, on which
apportionment amounts are based„ become available..
LAFCO would like to receive input no`later than.January.30, 2004.
Recommended City Council .Action /Suggested Motion Discussion and direction to staff to retain the
1/3 — 1/3 —1/3 formula currently used by LAFCO.
