The West Ranch and Castaic/Val Verde Town Council members meet with Local Agency Formation for the County of Los Angeles (LAFCO) officials on Friday afternoon in a fact finding meeting. As was first reported here on the West Ranch Beacon over a week ago, the Councils have received funding from LA County Supervisor Antonovich for an Initial Feasibility Analysis (IFA).
The Council representatives met for a little over an hour at the LAFCO Glendale offices with Executive Officer Sandor Winger and others. The purpose of the meeting was for Council members to fully understand the requirements for the IFA and to make sure that the analysis is being properly commissioned.
Several Council members completed registration for the CAL LAFCO sponsored seminar on the ins and outs of incorporation. The two day seminar is being held in Sacramento at the end of February.
The West Ranch and Castaic/Val Verde Town Councils are working in close partnership in gathering information for the options the communities have regarding self-determination. The IFA will provide a key piece of tax revenue data that will be important in any future discussions.
