A RESOLUTION OF APPLICATION BY THE CITY OF MOORPARK REQUESTING THE
LOCAL AGENCY FORMATION COMMISSION TO TAKE PROCEEDINGS FOR THE
DISSOLUTION OF THE MOORPARK MOSQUITO ABATEMENT DISTRICT
RESOLVED, by the City Council of the City of Moorpark, that
WHEREAS, the City of Moorpark desires to initiate proceedings pursuant to the Cortese -Knox
Local Government Reorganization Act of 1985, commencing with Section 56000 of the
California Government Code, for the dissolution of the Moorpark Mosquito Abatement District;
and
WHEREAS, notice of intent to adopt this resolution of application has been given to each
interested and each subject agency; and
WHEREAS, the territory of the district proposed to be dissolved is inhabited and a description of
the boundaries of the territory is set forth in Exhibit A attached hereto and by this reference
incorporated herein; and
WHEREAS, this proposal is consistent with the sphere of influence of the affected city and
district; and
WHEREAS, the reasons for the proposed dissolution are as follows:
The City can provide the same or greater services at less cost to that part of the
District within City boundaries, and the County can do the same for that part of
the District in the unincorporated territory;
2. Surplus tax monies collected by the District can be placed to better use by the City
providing direct services to the taxpayers;
3. The territory of the District has been substantially encompassed by the formation
of the City and makes the governance of the District by an appointed Board of
Trustees redundant and less responsive to the needs of the residents than an
elected governing body; and
WHEREAS, an election on the dissolution of the Moorpark Mosquito Abatement District would
be an unnecessary expenditure and waste of public funds; and
WHEREAS, this Council certifies that the proposed dissolution of the Moorpark Mosquito
Abatement District is categorically exempt from the State of California Environmental Quality Act
(CEQA) pursuant to Categorical Exemption, Class 20, Changes in Organization of Local
Agencies.
