Alameda
County LAFCO -
LAFCo is a state mandated local agency that oversees boundary changes to
cities and special districts, the formation of new agencies including incorporation
of new cities, and the consolidation of existing agencies. The broad goals
of the agency are to ensure the orderly formation of local government agencies,
to preserve agricultural and open space lands, and to discourage urban
sprawl.

Revenue
Neutrality - The 2,000 pound gorilla hindering incorporation
of new cities in California is something called "revenue neutrality." Amended
to a 1985 law in 1992 and currently listed as Section 56815 of the Cortese-Knox-Hertzberg
Local Government Reorganization Act of 2000, revenue neutrality has caused
incorporations across California to grind to a virtual halt. Prior to revenue
neutrality, California averaged about four incorporations per year, which
was natural given the rapid growth in the state. Since revenue neutrality
was adopted, there has been less than one new incorporation per year in
California on average.
