HONORABLE I"IAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
COI~,IUNITY DEYELOPSENT DEPART'RENT
PROPOSED ANNEXATXON NO. 105 (MEDFORD / GROVESITE)
BACKGROUND:
The Municipal Reorganization Act authorizes the City Council to make application
for the annexation of island territory after publication of a notice of
intention to adopt a resolution and a public hearing. Notice of the hearing was
publiched in the Tustin News on December 27, 1984 and, in addition; notice was
mailed to the reg(stered voters of the subject area. (For additional background
material, see staff report dated December 17, 1984.)
DISCUSSION:
The hearing before the City Council is an informational hearing to provide an
opportunity for the residents of the area to express their concerns and views on
the resolution of application. This is not a protest hearing and the filing of
a protest at this hearing has no validity as to the status of the annexation
proposed.
Following the hearing City Council has the discretion to table the resolution of
application or to adopt the resolution. If City Council adopts Resolution No.
85-2, the Local Agency Formation Commission conducts a fact finding hearing to
determine if the subject proposal meets the requirements of Government Code
Section 35150 (f).
Upon LAFCO'S determination, the matter is referred to the Board of Supervisors
as the "conducting authority". The Board advertises and conducts a protest
hearing. If less than fifty (50%) percent of the registered voters of the area
file a protest with the Board of Supervisors, the Board orders the annexation
without an election.
The City has endeavored to provide complete information to the residents of the
area pertaining to annexation and the procedures of the Government Code. There
are residents of the area who are still opposed to the annexation but it is
believed that the majority of the residents are satisfied as to the rationality
of the proposed annexation.

HONORABLE HAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
COPIdlUNITY DEYELOPI,IENT D[PARTMENT
PROPOSED ANN£XAT~ON NO. 105 (MEDFORD/GROVESZ'rE)
BACKGROUND:
The annexation of the 11.4 acres of county island known as Medford/Grovesite
Annexation No. 105 was proposed in December 1977 and the application was
withdrawn due to resident protests. At that time, the annexation would have
increased the property tax. This argument is no longer valid as a result of
Propost ti on 13.
The subject area is completely surrounded by the Tustin city limits and is the
only remaining unincorporated Island in the north Tustin area. The Board of
Supervisors and the Local Agency Formation Commission encourage the annexation
of island territory which results in economies and efficiencies of government
services. A request for annexation was made to the city from residents of the
area. On September 20, 1984, a letter with a prepaid postage returncard was
mailed to the 48 residences of the area. Of the total residences, 20 (41%)
responded with a preference for remaining in the unincorporated territory of the
county. This represents less than majority opposition. The poll did not
constitute a formal protest and was solely for the guidance of the City Council.
On Tuesday, November 20, 1984 Mayor Kennedy and members df the city staff met
with residents of the community at Guinn Foss School to answer the questions and
concerns of the residents. Although there are still residents in the area who
are opposed to the annexation, it is believed that the majority of the voters
recognize the logicality of the proposal and will not protest the annexation.
PROCEDURES:
Pursuant to AB 14 adopted in 1983 (Sections 35142 & 35150 Gov't Code) the
following procedures are applicable:
1. The City Council advertises in the newspaper its intent to adopt a
resolution making application to the Local Agency Formation Commission for
the annexation of the subject area and schedules a public hearing.
(One-time publication in the newspaper is required) A resolution
initiating the application to LAFCO is then adopted.

LAFCO conducts a public hearing and approves the annexation ff it is an
tsland of less than 75 acres, and LAFCO designates the Board of
Supervisors as the conducting authority.
3. The Board of. Supervlsors conducts a public heartng and orders the
annexation tf wrttten protests have not been ftled wt~h the Board by more
than 50~ of the'registered voters.
DlSCt~SIO#:
In consideration of the lack of a major~7 objection and the encouragement of
LAFCO and the Board of Supervlsors to eliminate county tsJands, the City Council
could respond to the request for annexation by scheduJtng a public hearing on
the proposed annexation. Following adoptton of the resolution of
application,the determination of the proposed annexation would rest with the
Loca3 Agency Formation Commission and the Board of Supervisors as the conducting
authority.
RECOI~dlENDED ACTION:
Authorize staff to advertise a public heartng for January 7, [985 on the City
Council's intent to adopt a resolution of application for the Medford/Grovestte
Annexation No. [05 to the City of Tust~n.
