NEW BUSINESS 8.1 Amicus Brief - Sacramento County Board of Supervisors vs. Sacramento Local Agency Formation Commission The Court of Appeal in this case held that the provision of the Cortese-Knox Act that requires a vote of the electorate only in the area to be incorporated was unconstitutional as applied to the proposed incorporation of citrus Heights. This decision would make it very difficult for new cities to incorporate in the future and the rationale of the decision could possibly be extended to annexations, thus requiring a vote of the entire county for an annexation to be approved.

There will be no cost to the City for such participation. 8.2 Presentation of Design Development Drawings for Dougherty Regional Fire Authority station No. 1 on Donohue Drive The Dougherty Regional Fire Authority is currently processing plans to construct a new fire station on Donohue Drive in the City of Dublin.
