Hearings
The LAFCO conducts to the extent possible its public hearings by using the County Board of Supervisor’s Chambers. However this does not prevent the Commission from holding public hearings at other locations, such as City Council Chambers, Chamber of Commerce Auditorium, General or Multi-Purpose Public Auditorium, etc., except all such facilities shall allow public access including access for the disabled, and be equipped or capable of being equipped with an adequate sound system and recording system. All such locations shall be duly noticed well in advance of a hearing to allow the general public sufficient time to become aware of and participate in the hearings.
Notice of public hearings shall be published and posted pursuant to the Cortese-Knox-Hertzberg Reorganization Act, and at a minimum shall include publication in the I.V. Press, posting at the Courthouse or the County Administration Building, LAFCO Office, or Imperial County Planning & Development Services Department, and direct mail to affected property owners to the extent required.
The Commission holds its regular meetings on the fourth Thursday of every month, except that a meeting need not be held unless the Commission has business to conduct, and then only if a properly noticed agenda has been published by the Executive Officer.
The Commission may hold its meetings, (to the extent scheduling permits) in the Board Chambers of the County Board of Supervisors, at 940 Main Street, El Centro, CA at 8:30 a.m. The Commission may hold its meetings at various locations throughout the County, however such meetings shall always be held in a public forum to provide ready access, including access to the disabled.
