HONORABLE HAYOR AND CTTY COUNCIL
COHHUNITY DEVELOP#ENT DEPARTIqENT
PROPOSED ANNEXATION NO. 105 (HEDFORD/GROVESTTE)
BACKGROUND:
The annexation of the 11.4 acres of county tsland known as Medford/Grovesite
Annexation No. 105 was proposed In December 1977 and the applJcatton 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withdrawn due to resident protests.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 This argument is no longer valid as a result of
Proposition 13.
The subject area is completely surrounded by the Tustin ctty limits and is the
only remetntng unincorporated island tn the north Tusttn 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 of 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:
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.

page 1:~o
LAFCO conducts a public hearing and approves the annexation if it is an
island of less than 75 acres, and LAFCO designates the Board of
Supervisors as the conducting authority.
The Board of. Supervisors conducts a public hearing and orders the
annexation if written protests have not been filed with the Board by more
than 50~ of the registered voters.
DISCUSSXON:
In consideration of the lack of a majority objection and the encouragement of
LAFCO and the Board of Supervisors to eliminate county islands, the City Council
could respond to the request for annexation by scheduling a public hearing on
the proposed annexation. Following adoption of the resolution of
application,the determination of the proposed annexation would rest with the
Local Agency Formation Commission and the Board of Supervisors as the conducting
authority.
RECOI~IENDED ACTION:
Authorize staff to advertise a public hearing for January 7, 1985 on the City
Council's intent to adopt a resolution of application for the Medford/Grovesite
Annexation No. 105 to the City of Tustin.
