Cityhood is a Slam Dunk Unless You Act
I attended the CV MAC meeting September 28th. It was a shocker - first the LAFCO comment period had been extended to September 11th. Second, the LAFCO executive director was asked about how the process towards cityhood would go and the response was “if less than 25% of the registered voters DO NOT file objection to cityhood - then cityhood will take place automatically.” When pressed further, “if more than 25% but less than 50% of registered voters express objection, then there will be a vote.” There was no clarification on what takes place if more than 50% object. Now we know why the cityhood people have been so secretive - they can sneak this in the back door.
What is being used by LAFCO is a population count of 66,000 - in other words, some 16,000 of us have got to get an email (with receipt) to:
