The remaining island areas are substantially City-surrounded unincorporated County jurisdiction pockets that are largely built-out with single-family residential uses and associated infrastructure. The islands are functionally a part of the City’s political, economic, and social fabric and are logical to be under City jurisdiction. The timing of annexation for the remaining islands is to be memorialized in an Island Annexation Agreement. A number of factors were considered in determining the annexation schedule, including the socio-economic status of the areas, demand for sewer service, development and redevelopment potential, and more.

Summary On March 21, 2022, the Budget Committee met to review and discuss both the current year budget projections and the Preliminary Budget for FY 2022/23. The Committee thoroughly considered the broad spectrum of fundamental responsibilities that LAFCO, as a regulatory body of the state, is expected to address beyond the specific processing of individual applications. With this perspective in mind, the Committee's review was influenced by the following factors: 1. The Commission's recognition of the ever increasing roles that LAFCO's have in: Assisting local agencies in the understanding of governance options and providing guidance to smaller agencies seeking to enhance their service capabilities; Addressing local government functions and service delivery capabilities; Identifying gaps in the provision of services throughout their counties; and Addressing an increasing number of legislative mandates to consider disadvantaged populations and seek improved options and opportunities for cooperation between agencies to include consolidations and mergers. 2. The Commission’s continued desire to maintain a consistent core staff equivalent to 3.5 full-time employees, all of whom are experienced individuals who provide superior service levels and local agency assistance. 3. The Commission's understanding that although economic conditions have remained surprisingly stable this past year, local agency budgets may become financially challenged as the COVID-19 outcomes becomes better known. 4. The Commission's diligent effort over the past 15 years to implement cost saving measures, including employee furloughs, and conservatively maintaining increases in annual member agency apportionments to three percent. In addition, the Commission has been persistent in that it continues to advise member agencies of its potential necessity to incrementally increase apportionments to meet state mandated functions. Local Agency Formation Commission March 28, 2022 5. The Commission's fundamental interest in balancing its desired capability to meet statutory requirements (mandates) with the ability of contributing agencies to provide adequate levels of funding. Budget Committee Proposal for FY 2022/23 Budget Funding Sources The Proposed FY 2022/23 Budget totals $856,409 and reflects a 12% increase from the prior years’ budget. Sources include: Interest - $15,000 accounting for 2%. Member Agency Apportionments - $790,409 accounting for 92%. While the Commission has intentionally maintained flat member agency apportionments for a number of years during the recession years’ ago, it has consistently advised member agencies each year during the budget process and through adopted resolutions, that in order to achieve state mandated responsibilities consistent with GC56381, the potential need to incrementally increase agency apportionments would inevitably be required to meet the Commission's expectations. Although the Budget Committee has recommended a 12% increase in its total budget, it does in fact translate a 12% increase to member agency apportionments. However, the overall average increase to member agency apportionments for the past 15 years remains 3%. Charges for Services - $25,000 accounting for 3%. Miscellaneous Revenue - $6,000 accounting for 1%. MSR/SOI Trust Fund Transfer, $20,000 accounting for 2%. Expenditures Salaries and Wages and Benefits - $628,589 accounting for 73%. Services & Supplies - $172,820 accounting for 20%. Appropriations - $55,000 accounting for 7%. Notice Notice of the FY 2022/23 Preliminary Budget Committee meeting held on March 21, 2022 was posted on March 16, 2022 and subsequently circulated to all member agencies, including the Butte County Special District's Association on March 17, 2021. Public notice for the FY 2022/23 Proposed Budget Hearing (April 7, 2022) was published in the Chico Enterprise Record on March 16, 2022. In addition, the public notice was also posted on March 16, 2022 at County Administration, LAFCo's office and website. 2 Local Agency Formation Commission March 28, 2022 ACTIONS RECOMMENDED AND REQUESTED BY BUDGET COMMITTEE: 1. Receive comments from the public and affected agencies on the Proposed Budget for FY 2022/23; and 2. Continue to place language within the budget resolution that advises member agencies of the potential need to incrementally increase agency contribution rates in order to achieve the state mandated responsibilities consistent with GC56381; and 3. Adopt a four percent cost of living adjustment (COLA), to the currently adopted Salary Plan; and 4. Adopt the Proposed Budget for Fiscal Year 2022/23 for transmittal to affected agencies and continue item to the next regularly scheduled Commission meeting on Thursday, May 5, 2022 for final adoption.
