Details
Description: The Local Agency Formation Commission is an independent agency established in each county by State law. The objectives are to encourage efficient service areas for services provided by cities, counties, and special districts; to guide urban development away from prime agricultural lands and open space resources; to promote orderly growth; and to discourage urban sprawl.

ELIGIBILITY: The Commission in Santa Cruz County is comprised of seven members: two city council members chosen by the mayors of the cities in the county, two county supervisors chosen by the Board of Supervisors, two special district board members chosen by the twenty-four independent special district board chairpersons in the county, and a public member chosen by the other members of LAFCO.
Meetings: Meetings are generally scheduled the first Wednesday of the month (except July) at 10:00 a.m. in Room 525 of the County Governmental Center, 701 Ocean Street, Santa Cruz unless an alternative time or place is specified.
