Written Materials–Written materials relating to items on this Agenda that are distributed to the Ventura Local Agency Formation Commission within 72 hours before they are scheduled to be considered will be made available for public inspection at the LAFCo office, 801 S. Victoria Avenue, Suite 301, Ventura, CA 93003, during normal business hours. Such written materials will also be made available on the Ventura LAFCo website at www.ventura.lafco.ca.gov, subject to staff’s ability to post the documents before the meeting.
Public Presentations–Except for applicants, presentations, including oral and visual presentations, may not exceed five minutes unless otherwise increased or decreased by the Chair, with the concurrence of the Commission, based on the complexity of the item and/or the number of persons wishing to speak. Comments in excess of this limit should be submitted in writing at least 10 days in advance of the meeting date to allow for distribution to, and full consideration by, the Commission. Members of the public may make audio/visual presentations to the Commission, and may provide their own equipment. The Commission and its staff are not responsible for providing any special connections or set-up of any kind, or assisting in the delivery of an audio/visual presentation in any way. Those wishing to make audio/visual presentations are solely responsible for the set-up and functioning of their presentation. In some cases, however, existing on-site equipment may be available for members of the public to use in making presentations, if arrangements are made with LAFCo staff in advance. All audio/visual presentations must comply with applicable time limits for oral presentations and cumulative time limits. Presentations should be planned with flexibility to adjust to any changes in these time limits. For more information about these policies, please contact the LAFCo office.
Quorum and Voting–The By-Laws for the Ventura LAFCo Commissioner’s Handbook provide as follows:
1.1.6.1 Quorum: Four (4) members shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business, but a lesser number may adjourn from time to time.
1.1.6.2 Voting: Unless otherwise provided by law or these By-Laws, four affirmative votes are required to approve any proposal or other action. A tie vote, or any failure to act by at least four (4) affirmative votes, shall constitute a denial.
Americans with Disabilities Act–In compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act, if you need special assistance to participate in this meeting, please contact the LAFCo office (805) 654-2576. Notification 48 hours prior to the meeting will enable LAFCo to make reasonable arrangements to ensure accessibility to this meeting.
Disclosure of Campaign Contributions–LAFCo Commissioners are disqualified and are not able to participate in any proceeding involving an "entitlement for use" if, within the 12 months preceding the LAFCo decision, the Commissioner received more than $250 in campaign contributions from the applicant, an agent of the applicant, or any financially interested person who actively supports or opposes the LAFCo decision on the matter. Applicants or agents of applicants who have made campaign contributions totaling more than $250 to any LAFCo Commissioner in the past 12 months are required to disclose that fact for the official record of the proceeding.
Disclosures must include the amount of the contribution and the recipient Commissioner and may be made either in writing to the Clerk of the Commission prior to the hearing or by an oral declaration at the time of the hearing.
