Municipal Service Review / SOI Update 2007

In accordance with State law, the Alameda Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCo) initiated a countywide review of municipal services and spheres of influence (SOI’s) of the cities and special districts that provide those services in January 2003.

Alameda LAFCo is pleased to report that the project team, comprised of consultants and LAFCo staff, has completed this process. In all, there were three countywide municipal service reviews (MSR’s) completed: Volume I - Public Safety, covering police, fire, health and emergency medical services; Volume II - Utility Services, covering water, wastewater, flood control, solid waste and resource conservation services; and Volume III - Community Services, covering bridges, parks & recreation, library, street maintenance and lighting, lead abatement and vector control services. In 2004, the Commission approved Volume I along with the corresponding SOI updates; in 2005, Volume II was approved along with corresponding SOI updates; and in 2006, the Commission approved Volume III and finished updating the corresponding SOI’s of all 14 cities in Alameda County as well as 17 local community service agencies.
