Orinda council asks staff to study formal intercity coordination with neighboring jurisdictions
Summary
A council member moved and the council approved a motion to ask staff to explore creating a more formal working relationship with nearby cities (Moraga, Lafayette) on shared issues; motion passed unanimously.
The City Council of Orinda voted unanimously to ask staff to investigate the feasibility of creating a more formalized working relationship with neighboring jurisdictions, including Moraga and Lafayette, to coordinate on shared issues.
A council member raised the idea under Matters Initiated, saying the city currently deals with many issues that cross municipal boundaries and that a more formal arrangement similar to examples in other nearby communities could be beneficial. The council treated the request as a matter to be explored and voted to ask staff to look into the possibility; the motion passed with all present council members voting in favor.
The action was procedural: staff will examine options for intergovernmental coordination and return to council with potential models and next steps for future consideration.
