Solano County Local Agency Formation Commission
The Solano County Local Agency Formation Commission ( LAFCO ) is responsible for coordinating changes in local governmental boundaries , conducting special studies that review governmental structure , and preparing a sphere of influence for each city and special district within the county .
The Solano County LAFCO regulates , through approval or denial , the boundary changes proposed by other public agencies or individuals . The LAFCO does not have the power to initiate boundary changes on its own .
The Solano County LAFCO also has the power to determine spheres of influence for all local governmental agencies . A sphere of influence is a planning boundary outside of an agency ' s legal boundary that designates the agency ' s probable future boundary and service area . Factors considered in a sphere of influence review focus on the current and future land use , the current and future need and capacity for service , and any relevant communities of interest . Spheres of influence are reviewed every five years .
