SECTION 56800-56803
56800. For any proposal that includes an incorporation, the executive officer shall prepare, or cause to be prepared by contract, a comprehensive fiscal analysis. This analysis shall become part of the report required pursuant to Section 56665. Data used for the analysis shall be from the most recent fiscal year for which data are available, preceding the issuances of the certificate of filing. When data requested by the executive officer in the notice to affected agencies are unavailable, the analysis shall document the source and methodology of the data used. The analysis shall review and document each of the following: (a) The costs to the proposed city of providing public services and facilities during the three fiscal years following incorporation in accordance with the following criteria: (1) When determining costs, the executive officer shall include all direct and indirect costs associated with the current provision of existing services in the affected territory. These costs shall reflect the actual or estimated costs at which the existing level of service could be contracted by the proposed city following an incorporation, if the city elects to do so, and shall include any general fund expenditures used to support or subsidize a fee-supported service where the full costs of providing the service are not fully recovered through fees. The executive officer shall also identify which of these costs shall be transferred to the new city that result in an administrative cost reduction to other agencies. In the analysis, the executive officer shall also review how the costs of any existing services compare to the costs of services provided in cities with similar populations and similar geographic size that provide a similar level and range of services and shall make a reasonable determination of the costs expected to be borne by the newly incorporated city. (2) When determining costs, the executive officer shall also include all direct and indirect costs of any public services that are proposed to be assumed by the new city and that are provided by state agencies in the area proposed to be incorporated. (b) The revenues of the proposed city during the three fiscal years following incorporation. (c) The effects on the costs and revenues of any affected local agency during the three fiscal years of incorporation. (d) Any other information and analysis needed to make the findings required by Section 56720. 56801. (a) For any proposal that includes an incorporation, the executive officer shall, at the request of an interested party, which request is submitted pursuant to subdivision (b), and prior to issuing his or her report and recommendation pursuant to Section 56665, request the Controller to review the comprehensive fiscal analysis prepared pursuant to Section 56800. The request by an interested party shall specify in writing any element of the comprehensive fiscal analysis that the Controller is requested to review and the reasons the Controller is requested to review each element. (b) The commission may adopt written procedures for the acceptance, referral, and payment for a request for the Controller's review, which shall include setting a time period during which an interested party is permitted to submit a request pursuant to subdivision (a). The time period for accepting a request shall not be less than 30 days following notice given in the same manner as specified in Section 56153. (c) Within 45 days of receiving the analysis, the Controller shall issue a report to the executive officer regarding the accuracy and reliability of the information, methodologies, and documentation used in the analysis. The times within which the executive officer or commission is required to act pursuant to this chapter shall be tolled for the time required by the Controller for completion of the report. The executive officer shall include the results of the Controller's report into his or her own report and recommendation issued pursuant to Section 56665. (d) Notwithstanding Sections 56378 and 56386, the Controller may charge the commission for the actual costs incurred pursuant to this section. The commission may recover these costs by charging the person who requested the Controller's review. 56802. (a) For any proposal for incorporation of the territory within the Mountain House Community Services District, San Joaquin County shall provide the required funds to those petitioners filing the incorporation application for all costs involved in filing the application for incorporation pursuant to this division, including the preparation of the comprehensive fiscal analysis pursuant to Section 56800. (b) The funds provided by the county pursuant to this section shall not be construed to be a gift of public funds and may only be granted to a quasi-public or nonprofit organization formed for the purpose of pursuing incorporation of the Mountain House area. (c) San Joaquin County shall provide the funds required in subdivision (a) only one time, upon the first filing of application for incorporation. 56803. If the commission approves a proposal which includes the incorporation of a city, the resolution making determinations shall accept or reject each of the findings and recommendations made in the executive officer's report prepared pursuant to Section 56665, and the fiscal analysis prepared pursuant to Section 56800. If the commission rejects a finding or recommendation, the resolution making determinations shall include findings by the commission which present the basis for any rejection.
