HOT NEWS
Law suit filed by
SMNA against the Executive Offer of LAFCO and LAFCO
Click here for full text of suit
1.
SMNA has made
a request for State Controller?s review as an ?interested party? under the
provisions of Gov. Code section 56801, seeking review of the Comprehensive
Fiscal Analysis prepared in connection with the application for incorporation of
San Martin.
2.
SMNA brings
this lawsuit in two separate capacities.
One as proponent of the incorporation and the other as requestor of a
State Controller?s review.
3.
SMNA has
completed all requirements necessary for a request for State Controller?s review
under Gov. Code section 56801.
SMNA, as requestor, brings this suit to challenge the refusal of the
Executive Officer of the Local Agency Formation Commission of Santa Clara County
(?LAFCO?) to process its request for State Controller?s review under Gov. Code
section 56801 and to enjoin the Executive Officer and the LAFCO Commissioners
from interfering with the processing of the State Controller?s review.
4.
In addition,
the Executive Officer and LAFCO have chosen to deny the incorporation
application without processing the State Controller?s review required by
law. They did so without legitimate
governmental reasons, and in an arbitrary, subjective, and irrational
manner. Indeed, the refusal to
process the State Controller?s review and the decision to terminate the
application is simply a pretext or cover to delay or stop the incorporation
process in order to prevent incorporation from going forward to a vote.
5.
SMNA also
brings suit against LAFCO as the proponent for charging unreasonable fees for
the incorporation which unreasonable fees put a chilling effect on the
incorporation and are intended to impair or prevent SMNA, as proponent, from
having the issue of incorporation brought to a vote.
