We do not make jokes, we simply watch the LA Times, the Orange County Register and CID/HOA board of directors and report the facts

There is miscommunication between
the various members of the Orange County Local Agency
Formation (LAFCO)
about how to convince residents that adopting a given
sphere of influence and paying more for it, is good
for them. So,
what to do? What do do? Hire a community
organizer? How about hiring ACORN
What does a conscientious business
do when faced with
situations where employees do not seem to be
carrying their own weight?
In this climate, you can bet that employees are
not only reprimanded, but in many cases, they or often
terminated.
Not at LAFCO.
Sergio Prince, Supervisor Pat Bates’
Executive Director of Public Affairs promptly
suggested to “hire
a facilitator, avoid communications breakdown”
– Why not? After
all, is this not standard operating procedure for a
typical bureaucracy?
After all, bureaucrats get paid whether they
are competent or not – sort of like auto industry
executives.
Is LAFCO the exception?
No, you guessed it – it is the rule!
Just look around at the Toll Roads, the USPTO
or even the CLRC - The California Law Revision
Commission. The latter has come under fire from
critics who have threatened with a law suit, for an
executive's efforts to stifle criticism, for instance.
So, LAFCO’s Coto de Caza Cityhood
vote scheduled for this past Wednesday, to have the
Coto de Caza community under the City of Rancho Santa
Margarita’s sphere of influence
has been postponed for six months.
No word as to whether Mr. Prince has
recommended the hiring of an efficiency expert to make
sure there are no more delays.
Part of LAFCO’s Orange County LAFCO
mission statement is to promoting orderly
growth and development; discouraging urban sprawl
while preserving open space and agricultural lands;
and encouraging efficient service areas for
local governments. On the other hand, if you
believe common interest development federal
projections, it faces a prominent future, particularly in California. In response
to the continued development and increasing use of
common interest developments, the California state
legislature continues to play an active role in
defining the relationship between the common interest
development homeowners association, its members, and
third parties. That is, where the California
legislature (CLRC) gives, LAFCO takes away.

First we hear of local governance enacting Shut Up Rules, allegedly for efficiency purposes. Then OC Supervisor Pat Bates declaring that the CCW issue is dead, followed by Orange County Sheriff Sandra Hutchens statements that she does not agree that her restrictive CCW policies infringe on Second Amendment Rights. Of course, last week we got treated to a recently released Orange County Grand Jury report esigned to stifle public discourse anent the CCW and the Second Amendment.
