COMMITTEE REPORTS
Item 9. Legislative Ad-Hoc Committee. The Committee met January 6, 1998. Attending
were Directors Beverage and Fox, and staff member William J. Robertson. District counsel
Arthur G. Kidman reported that Government Code Section 57087 provides that any resolution
that seeks to create a subsidiary district out of an independent special district requires
confirmation from the voters, unless both parties agree that to the consolidation. He also stated
that the same requirements hold true for a merger, but that a special district cannot be merged
into a city unless the district's boundaries are wholly within the boundaries of the city.
Director Beverage asked that Mr. Kidman perform a reasoned analysis of that section of the
Government Code by January 12, to determine if was flawed.
The committee scheduled a meeting for January 12 at 3:30 p.m.
Item 10. Executive-Administration Committee. Will meet January 15 at 8:30 a.m.
Item 11. Finance-Accounting Committee. Will meet January 14 at 8:30 a.m.
Item 12. Personnel-Risk Management Committee. No report.
