Amador County – The Amador County Local Agency Formation Commission this week will consider making changes to the city of Jackson’s “sphere of influence,” and could also consider appointing Supervisor Ted Novelli to a newly revived Central California regional LAFCO board. The county LAFCO board will consider a resolution adopting an amendment to the “sphere of influence” of the city of Jackson. The city “proposes to expand its current sphere of influence into 4 areas.” Those include the Wicklow, Martell, New York Ranch Road, “and a small area along South Highway 49.” The city is the lead agency for the sphere of influence. LAFCO lists the agenda item as “categorically exempt” under the California Environmental Quality Act, because there is a “change in organization of local agencies without change to the geographical area in which previously existing powers are exercised.” The LAFCO board will also consider the nomination of Supervisor Ted Novelli to the CALAFCO (Cal LAFCO) board of directors in the newly reorganized “Central CALAFCO Region.” The board is also scheduled to have a discussion led by Novelli and possible action on legislation and matters related to the board meeting and CALAFCO business. At an annual conference in October, 2009, the CALAFCO board proposed to create geographic regions in the state to help in the sharing of resources, the enhancement of communication between different county Local Agency Formation Commissions, and to encourage regional-level input regarding legislative issues. The regional proposal sought to form 4 CALAFCOs regional offices in northern, southern, coastal and central areas of the state. Each region would be represented by one city, one county, one special district and one public member. The regional elections are scheduled to be held during the annual conference in October at Palm Springs. Amador County’s LAFCO board this week will also consider giving an extension to the Fiddletown Community Service District for completing its reorganization. The project began last September. Amador LAFCO will also hold a closed session for an annual performance evaluation, for Executive Director Roseanne Chamberlain. The current LAFCO board includes Supervisors Louis Boitano and Novelli, Plymouth Councilman Jon Colburn, Ione Mayor Skip Schaufel, and public member Jim Vinciquerra. Alternates are Supervisor Richard Forster, Jackson Councilman Pat Crew, and public alternate Byron Daminani. Boitano is LACFO chairman and Vinciguerra is vice chair. LAFCO meets 7 p.m. Thursday (August 19th) at the supervisors’ chambers, at 810 Court Street in Jackson. Story by Jim Reece This email address is being protected from spambots.
