LAKE COUNTY, Calif. — The Lake Local Agency Formation Commission, or LAFCO, has an opening for a commissioner and is seeking applicants interested in serving.
LAFCO is a distinct agency created by state legislation to ensure that changes in governmental organization occur in a manner which provides efficient, quality services and preserves open space and agricultural land resources.
The commission is charged with applying the policies and provisions of the Cortese-Knox-Hertzberg Local Government Reorganization Act of 2000 in its decisions regarding annexations, incorporations, reorganizations, and other changes of local government. The LAFCO website is www.lakelafco.org.
LAFCO meets on the third Wednesday of every other month at Lakeport City Hall or at Clearlake City Hall. Commissioners receive a $100 monthly meeting stipend.
The appointment is for a public member who resides anywhere within Lake County, including the territory in the city limits of Lakeport and Clearlake, to sit as a public member or alternate on the commission to complete a four-year term ending in May 2027.
A public member must be able and available to regularly attend commission meetings and/or hearings or otherwise will be removed after absence of three consecutive meetings.
No officer or employee of the county or any city or special district within Lake County is allowed to sit as a public member on the commission.
A public commission member, as are all other commissioners, is required to file an annual statement of economic interest.
If you are interested, send a letter describing your background and reasons for wanting to become the selected public member to serve on the Lake Local Agency Formation Commission no later than Friday, May 5.
