Special districts lose bid for LAFCO representation again
The County Special Districts Association failed to win a seat on the five member Local Agency Formation Commission as the panel voted 5-0 against its latest bid. Robert Lieberknecht of Carpinteria spoke for the association. Also approved was a 58.46 acre annexation of Skyway Drive to Santa Maria to consolidate airport district property for planning and an airplane showroom project. A new county salary ordinance will create a full time LAFCO executive officer, drawn from the administrative staff, with the Board of Supervisors supporting the plan to avoid excessive costs.
