BAGLEY COTY February 26, 1985 San Diego Association of Governments Security Pacific Bank Building Ste. 524 1200 Third Avenue San Diego, CA 92101 Attention: Debra Greenfield, Counsel Dear Ms. Gq?enfield: OEPUTY MAYOR OR. JOHN MACDONALD COUNCIL MEMBERS WALTER A, GILBERT TED MARIONCELLI SAM WILLIAMSON I am writing to urge the San Diego Association of Governments to join the County of San Diego and the City of Oceanside in opposing SB 191 and SCA 8. SB 191 would authorize cities to annex contiguous land that is located in another county, and it would provide that the LAFCO having jurisdiction over the annexation is the LAFGO of the county where the majority of the property propsed to be annexed is located. SCA 8 is a constitutional amendment which would allow a'city to be divided into more than one municipal or justice court district. This change is needed to allow cross-county annexations. The·City of OceansidP opposes this legislation for several reasons. We believe that simplicity should be a key objective in providing county and law enforcement s~~vices, and establishing political jurisdiction. This legislati0n would create a dual- standard for providing services to the residents of a single city, and would compound administrati,e problems in collecting and distributing taxes, conducting trials, and providing urban services. SANDAG's regional review functions and membership rules could be seriously complicated if an Orange, R~verside, or Imperial County ctty were to.annex territory in San Diego County. For example, would a city with d small amount of territory in San Diego County be given voting status on SANDAG? Could a single agency be the member of more than one COG? □VIC CENTER • 321 NORTH NEVADA • OCEANSIDE, CA 92054 • TELEPHONE 619-439-7304 .,:t SAN DIEGO ASSOCIATION OF GOVERNMENTS February 26, 1985 Page 2 The City of Oceanside believes that~ better solution would be to change county boundaries if, in 'fact, those boundaries do not currently provide for logical city boundaries. We believe that this is an issue of regional significance, and I would urge all other jurisdictions in San Diego County to join in opposition to SB 191 ana SCA 8. cc: Mayors of cities in San Diego County Board of Supervisor members LMB:dp
