San Mateo LAFCO adopts municipal service review policy update; no new teleconferencing standards imposed
Summary
The commission adopted a staff-proposed update to its municipal service review policy; staff said the update does not add new standards and that responses from two cities concerned remote meeting processes rather than the policy substance.
San Mateo County Local Agency Formation Commission on July 16 adopted an update to its municipal service review (MSR) policy after staff told commissioners the draft contained no new standards or requirements.
LAFCO staff said the draft policy was circulated after the May 21 meeting to counties, cities, special districts and other interested parties; staff received two responses from the city of San Mateo and the city of Menlo Park that addressed remote-meeting processes and capabilities rather than the policy text. Staff recommended opening the public hearing, accepting public comment and adopting the update as presented.
There were no public comments on the item. Commissioner Rudolph moved to approve the MSR policy update; Commissioner Draper seconded. The motion carried on roll-call vote: Commissioner Rudolph, yes; Commissioner Draper, yes; Commissioner Rinaldi, aye; Commissioner Martin, aye; Chair Mueller, yes. Staff noted no changes in substantive standards were being imposed by the update.
The adopted update will be posted and LAFCO staff said they would notify agencies who responded to the draft.
