Statement of the Matter

LAFCO has approved the concept in principle and referred the matter to each of the thirteen City Councils for consideration and endorsement.
An Ad Hoc Committee of the City Managers Association has prepared a draft set of By-Laws to define the role and purpose of such an Advisory Committee.
