Consent Calendar

• Items 3–8 were approved unanimously after item 2 was pulled for separate discussion.
• Item 6 (annual review of consulting contracts) passed after a commissioner inquired about the CV Strategies retainer ($2,500/month for 15 hours) and was assured it averages out over the year.

Discussion Items

• Item 2 – Approval of April 1, 2026 Action Summary: Commissioner Hume noted that the action summary omitted an approved annual update for the Florin County Water District. The commission amended the summary to include that update and approved it unanimously.
• Item 9 – Office Lease for 1000 G Suite 380: The executive officer presented a proposed five‑year lease with two five‑year renewal options. LAFCO would occupy 72% of the space, sharing the remainder with the California Association of LAFCOs (CalAFCO), resulting in a monthly cost of approximately $4,370 for LAFCO. The space includes shared amenities such as a large conference room. The commission authorized the executive officer to sign the lease consistent with the staff report parameters. Motion passed unanimously.
• Item 10 – Update on Public Member Selection Process: Staff reported that applications for the public member and alternate public member positions (terms ending this year) are due by July 3, 2026. Recruitment is passive per government code, with notices sent to all local agencies and media.
• Item 11 – Executive Officer Reports and Staff Updates: Staff provided updates on ongoing MSRs, including the Florin Resource Conservation District detachment (late summer/early fall), Metro Fire MSR sent to staff, and the Sakslewer annexation of Hood and Franklin (August). Commissioner Hume initiated a discussion on the three South Delta fire districts (Delta Fire, River Delta Fire, Ialton Fire Department), noting that their last MSRs were in 2014 and that Ialton is struggling. He requested the commission consider a study of economies of scale or consolidation for these districts. Chair expressed support. The executive officer confirmed that fire districts are within the current five‑year MSR plan and that a commissioner‑requested study can be agendized. Commissioner Hume asked that this be placed on the August 2026 meeting agenda.
