Commission Approves Consulting Contracts and New Office Lease
The commission discussed and approved the annual review and approval of ongoing consulting contracts. Specifically, a contract with CV Strategies for a retainer not to exceed $2,500 per month, commensurate with 15 hours of work, was questioned regarding actual hours utilized. It was clarified that the retainer averages out to 15 hours per month, accounting for months with no meetings or canceled meetings, and that overages in heavier months are not charged. The commission also approved the meeting action summary for April 1st, 2026, with an amendment to include an annual update for the Florin County Water District that was approved in April. Additionally, the commission reviewed parameters for a lease for 1000 G, Suite 380, authorizing the executive officer to sign a lease consistent with staff recommendations. The new lease is for five years with two five-year options, and involves cost-sharing with the California Association of LAFCOS, saving the agency money. The building offers amenities such as a large conference room for commission meetings and additional conference rooms for external meetings. The lease is expected to be finalized soon.
Public Member Selection Process Update and Fire District Consolidation Discussed
The commission received an update on the public member selection process for the LAFCO commission. The current public member and alternate public member terms end at the end of the year. The circulation process has begun, with notifications sent to local agencies and media, and the information posted online. Applications have been sent to the two incumbents. The deadline for applications is July 3rd. The process emphasizes passive recruitment, with notifications sent to public agencies who can then spread the word to interested individuals who meet the criteria (not being an elected or appointed official, city manager, or county CEO). The commission also discussed the MSR (Municipal Service Review) process, highlighting the extensive number of MSRs required for cities and special districts. A five-year plan is in place, with a second category of MSRs to be addressed starting in 2030. Commissioner Hume raised concerns about three fire districts in the South Delta (Delta Fire, River Delta Fire, Isleton Fire Department) regarding their last MSR in 2014, potential legality of contracting with districts outside the county, and the struggles of Isleton Fire Department. Commissioner Hume requested that the commission examine the economy of scale and/or consolidation of these fire districts, and this request was agreed to be agendized for the August meeting. The commission can direct staff to prioritize the review of these Delta districts as the Sacramento review process winds down. The exploration of consolidation and economies of scale can be included in the scope of the fire district RFP.
