Hearings

To the extent possible, LAFCO conducts 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 auditoriums, general or multi-purpose public auditoriums, as long as all facilities allow public access for the disabled, and are 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 Holtville Tribune, posting at the Courthouse or the County Administration Building, or LAFCO Office, 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 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.
