Exhibit A San Luis Obispo Local Agency Formation Commission Annual Report - 2015 January through December Seek First to Understand, Then to be Understood Habit #5-Stephen Covey The Commission approved the formation of the Paso Robles Basin Water District that included a vigorous dialogue with a high level of respect for the public and for each other. This is part of San Luis Obispo LAFCO s culture and habit; to discuss and explore issues in a reasoned, respectful and in-depth manner. The Commission demonstrated how a discussion of a controversial topic should be conducted. All Commissioners maintained an attitude of valuing each other s point of view. Each Commissioner listened respectfully to the various opinions and interests with regard to the District. LAFCO Chair, Tom Murray, set a wonderfully inclusive tone that encouraged all of the various interests to participate in the dialogue. The end result is a public record that includes testimony from a variety of viewpoints, as well as information and analysis that sheds light on a range of topics. The voters will have several decisions before them through a mailed ballot: Landowners vote on the formation of the District, Registered Voters vote on the funding for the District, and both Landowners and Registered Voters vote on the Board of Directors. The ballots are due in early March. While we cleared the decks to work on the formation of the District for a large portion of the summer, SLO LAFCO also made progress on a variety of other issues and proposals as well. As you will find below, the Commission considered a number of other proposals, issues and Sphere of Influence and Municipal Services Review Updates. The list of the highlights is found below and a meeting-by-meeting summary of the year follows. We have managed to keep a number of other balls in the air throughout the year. At the end of this year we started work on a number of other potential proposals; Cayucos Fire District Dissolution, Outside User Agreement to serve the Preserve Open Space area, and a new election procedure for the Special Districts representative. Also, on the radar is new legislation that requires LAFCOs to approve outside user agreement to extend Fire services. Please review this Annual Report and provide feedback. It has been a pleasure to serve the Commission this past year. We thank you for that opportunity and look forward to what promises to be another exciting and interesting year.

EXHIBIT B SAN LUIS OBISPO LAFCO WORK PLAN JANUARY 2016 This document is the Work Plan for San Luis Obispo LAFCO in 2016. LAFCO s overarching legislative goals include the following: Encourage Orderly Growth and Development. LAFCO considers proposals for the formation of new local governmental agencies including Cities and Special Districts. LAFCO is also responsible for considering annexations and detachments for agencies. LAFCO also determines the Sphere of Influence, which is a plan for the probable physical boundary of a City or Special District. Promoting Efficient Provision of Public Services. LAFCO reviews proposals based on a variety of factors including: a plan for services submitted by the agency, resource and infrastructure capacity, and the need for services. Preserve Agricultural Land Resources. LAFCO considers the impact that a proposal may have on existing agricultural lands with focus on prime agricultural lands. San Luis Obispo LAFCO has adopted specific policies regarding the preservation of agricultural resources. Discourage Urban Sprawl. Urban sprawl can best be described as irregular and disorganized growth occurring without apparent design or plan. By discouraging sprawl, LAFCO limits the misuse of land resources and promotes a more efficient system of services by local governmental agencies. Goals in 2016 1. Serve the Commission and the public by providing accurate, clear and well-organized information for decision making. 2. Serve the Cities, County and Special Districts by providing information about LAFCO s purpose and the processes LAFCO is authorized to complete. 3. Process proposals in an efficient manner; consistent with the Cortese-Knox-Hertzberg Act, CEQA and other state laws. 4. Implement the Sphere of Influence/Municipal Service Review Update Work Plan, while working on applications and other topics at the same time. 5. Provide the Commission with regular status reports regarding upcoming proposals, Sphere of Influence Updates, Legislative Activities, and the Budget. 6. Participate in CALAFCO events to improve and enhance the Commission and Staff s expertise. 7. Inform the Commission and Public regarding the Cayucos Fire Protection District governance status. 8. Implement SB239, working with the Fire agencies to develop policies. Item C-1 9
San Luis Obispo LAFCO Work Plan January 2016 Page 2 9. Complete the follow-up activities on the Formation process for the Paso Robles Basin Water District. See the Ballot measures are presented accurately to the voters and complete the final steps. POTENTIAL ANNEXATIONS Several Cities may have annexation proposals on the horizon. Annexations to Special Districts are more difficult to predict. The Memorandum of Agreements between the Cities and County help set the path for these annexations by providing the provisions for development of an area. Annexation Proposals that may be on the horizon include: Castoro, Templeton CSD Robert Hall-Vina Robles, City of Paso Robles Chevron Tank Farm, City of San Luis Obispo Eagle Ranch, City of Atascadero San Luis Ranch, City of San Luis Obispo It is uncertain if these will be submitted next year, but planning and environmental work is being completed on each of these proposals. LAFCO Staff continues to monitor each project and provide comments at the appropriate times. OTHER PROPOSALS Dissolution of Cayucos Fire District - The Fire District will consider whether to submit an application to dissolve the District or to seek an increase in special tax to continue to manage the District s fire services. LAFCO has provided information to the District and the public about how the dissolution or consolidation process works and what are the necessary steps. An information guide and special study may be prepared to help understand and clarify the different processes and focus the discussion on the issues. Pismo Preserve Outside User Agreement - The Preserve property was purchased in 2014 with the purpose of developing a public trails system to provide access to an area with beautiful vistas and habitat. A restroom facility requires water and sewer service. The City of Pismo Beach would provide those services if an outside user agreement is approved by LAFCO. Fire Services Outside User Agreements New State Law (SB239) requires an outside user agreement approved by LAFCO that extend fire services under contract. Cambria and Templeton CSD are working with CALFIRE to develop such an agreement. Other District may be considering doing the same or updating an existing contract that could extend services that would require LAFCO review.
San Luis Obispo LAFCO Work Plan January 2016 Page 3 SPHERE OF INFLUENCE/MUNICIPAL SERVICE REVIEW UPDATE The Sphere of Influence (SOI) is a boundary that identifies areas a jurisdiction might serve over the next 20 years. The Municipal Service Review (MSR) provides information about a jurisdiction s ability to serve a particular area. The MSR is an informational document that summarizes the existing service situation of a jurisdiction. The Service Review compiles information that is provided by the jurisdiction to LAFCO. Other information from the County Planning Department, State Controller s Office, County Auditor s Office, and other agencies is also used to prepare the SOI and MSR. LAFCO Staff reviews, summarizes and evaluates the various studies and data and prepares a Draft Sphere of Influence Update and Municipal Service Review. A Municipal Service Review is prepared in accordance with Section 56430 of the California Government Code. This code section was updated in 2012 to include seven factors instead of the previous six factors. The Service Review contains written determinations that address the following seven factors. Information and written determinations regarding each of the factors is provided in the Service Review and include: 1. Growth and Population projections for the affected area. 2. Location and characteristics of any disadvantaged unincorporated communities 3. Present and planned capacity of public facilities and adequacy of public services, including infrastructure needs or deficiencies 4. Financial ability of agencies to provide services 5. Status of, and opportunity for, shared facilities 6. Accountability for community service needs including governmental structure and operational efficiencies 7. Any other matter related to effective or efficient service delivery, as required by commission policy LAFCO compiles a variety of information in preparing a Service Review. Also, administrative and organizational information is collected and evaluated. In order to complete a review LAFCO relies on Audit Reports submitted to the County Auditor Controller s Office pursuant to state law, original formation filing documents, State Controllers Special Districts Annual Financial Reports, the General Plan, Capital Improvement Plans, various studies and information from various websites.

Each City, with the exception of Grover Beach, has an MOA with the County. The Memoranda of Agreement between the City and County is reviewed and amended to reflect any changes to the Sphere of Influence and provisions that are agreed to by the County and City. The second versions of the MOAs contain more detail about what type of development might be expected in the SOI. This helps clarify expectations and provides guidelines that help guide future projects in the SOI. The MOA has also been used to specify a particular planning process or policies for areas. Also the second versions address other issues such as water resources and agricultural/open space preservation. Item C-1 12
