The Board of Supervisors of Contra Costa County Resolves That :
1 . This Board desires that all "L" county service areas be
combined in order to provide more efficient and cost effective
street lighting services throughout the County by having one new
county service area with a single management structure and
operational area throughout the County and in order to more
equitably finance the cost of lighting services by a common ser-
vice charge structure throughout the unincorporated area of the
County after January 1, 1987 .
2. All lighting service areas were formed and have been
operating under the County Service Area Law (Gov . C. SS25210. 1 et .
seq. ) , and have been subject to Division 1012 of Title 10
( commencing with 51012-2 . 202 ) of the Contra Costa County Ordinance
Code , regarding county service area charges . It is desired that
the new consolidated service area operate under the same laws .
3 . This Resolution is a joint Resolution to apply to the
Local Agency Formation Commission of Contra Costa County, pursuant
to the Cortese-Knox Act (Gov . C. SS56000 et seq. ) , to initiate
proceedings for a consolidation of all "L" (lighting) county ser-
vice areas in Contra Costa County and for the concurrent
establishment of a sphere of influence to accommodate the con-
solidation . This proposal is not consistent with existing spheres
of the service areas .
4. The exterior boundaries of the service areas proposed to
be consolidated are as shown in the Assessor ' s and Public Works
Department ' s maps for "L" service areas , as on file and available
in the offices of the aforesaid department .
5. It is proposed the name of the new county service area
formed upon the consolidation be County Service Area L-100
6. This Board proposes that a condition of the proposed con-
solidation be that all county property, other assets , and person-
nel used for the service areas to be consolidated be used in the
new consolidated service area .
7. Pursuant to Section 3(a ) of Article XIIIB of the
California Constitution , this Board hereby agrees and determines
that , when the existence of the present "L" service areas ceases
upon the effective date of the consolidation , the appropriation
limits of all the "L" service areas shall be combined and be
transferred to become the appropriation limit of the new con-
solidated service area .
