SPECIFIC REQUEST(S)OR RECOMMENDATIONS)8 BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATION
Accept the report of the Elections Department and direct the
clerk to forthwith submit a copy of this resolution and the filing
fees to the LAFCO executive officer, with the request that the
boundary reorganization be completed as soon as possible.
BACKGROUND
On September 10 , 1991 , your board approved the combination of
the East Diablo and Byron Fire Protection Districts . As noted in
that approval , there was a 30-day period. for filing petitions to
protest the combination. A protest petition was received and was
forwarded to the County Clerk to verify the number of registered
voters .
The County Clerk has reported that the petition contains 887
signatures of registered voters of the Byron Fire Protection
District . The Byron Fire Protection District contains 3918
registered voters and the East Diablo District contains 5865
registered voters . The petition therefore fails to meet the 25%
minimum requirement to force an election . (The 25% minimum would
be 2, 445 votes out of the 9 , 780 total registered voters in the
combined two districts , or at least 980 voters out of the 3918
registered voters in the Byron District if this were the measure.)
Accordingly, the boundary reorganization should be completed upon
your Clerk' s submitting a copy of this document to the LAFCO
executive officer (along with the required filing fees ) and the
LAFCO executive officer' s filing of her certificate of completion.
