Summary

Council member Lowell reported that the Local Agency Formation Commission approved annexation of two parcels to the county sanitation district to support construction of a Measure H-funded, staffed firehouse on Arnold Drive, which council members said will improve emergency response times in the valley.

Council member Lowell told the council that the Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCO) approved annexation of two parcels into the county sanitation district to accommodate a new Measure H-funded firehouse on Arnold Drive. Lowell said the new, professionally staffed station will increase emergency response capability and noted that the annexation was an important step in enabling the project. He told the council that the annexation "didn't really take much comment" at LAFCO and that he expects the new facility to improve response in the valley.

Lowell asked colleagues to note the impact of Measure H funding on the project and framed the development as a local public-safety improvement. The city did not take a formal vote on the annexation at the meeting; the announcement was an informational council report about external LAFCO action.
