Section 56800 Of Article 1. Comprehensive Fiscal Analysis From California Government Code >> Division 3. >> Title 5. >> Part 3. >> Chapter 4. >> Article 1.
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.
