In order to ensure that the economic well-being, the health of the community, and the safety of the thousands of residents in the unincorporated areas of the county is provided, this agreement must be nullified. The City of Ukiah's desire to consolidate services within and without of its own service area are not paramount to the continued provision of services by the County of Mendocino in its existing area. While the consolidation of the water and sewer districts could be beneficial to both city and county residents and could bring in about $50 million dollars from the state to help the community, the current City of Ukiah annexation proposal will prevent adequate provision of services to areas currently served by the county. Furthermore, it would be a shame to miss the opportunity to consolidate utility districts based on Ukiah having a goal to acquire even more all at once. Let's wait and see how the utility district consolidation goes and then move on to a county/city annexation review in an orderly fashion. Now is not a good time to hamstring the County of Mendocino's ability to provide required services to other outlying areas for the benefit of one city. Every city is different; even just our four incorporated cities are very different. An individual agreement should be considered for each and every annexation proposal to ensure that LAFCo is hearing the full economic impact to each specific agency and its constituency involved in any consideration of boundary changes.
