The Cortese-Knox-Hertzberg Local Government Reorganization Act of 2000, among other things, establishes procedures for consideration of a proposal for change of organization or reorganization, as defined. Existing law requires that an applicant seeking a change of organization or reorganization submit a plan for providing services within the affected territory that includes, among other requirements, an enumeration and description of the services to be extended to the affected territory and an indication of when those services can feasibly be extended. This bill would specify that the plan is required to also include specific information regarding services currently provided to the affected territory, as applicable, and make related changes. The Cortese-Knox-Hertzberg Local Government Reorganization Act of 2000 authorizes any district to which annexation of territory is proposed to adopt and transmit to the local agency formation commission a resolution requesting termination of proceedings, as specified, and requires the resolution to be based upon written findings supported by substantial evidence in the record that the request is justified by a financial or service-related concern. This bill would require the resolution to be based upon written findings supported by substantial evidence in the record that the request is justified as described above or because the territory is already receiving electrical service under a service area agreement approved by the Public Utilities Commission, as specified. The bill would require findings related to existing provision of electrical service by an irrigation district pursuant to a service area agreement approved under a specified provision to be based on the records of the district and the Public Utilities Commission, as provided.
