At any time not later than 35 days after the conclusion of
the hearing, the commission shall adopt a resolution making
determinations approving or disapproving the proposal, with or
without conditions, the plan of reorganization, or any alternative
plan of reorganization as set forth in the report and recommendation
of a reorganization committee. If the commission disapproves the
proposal, plan of reorganization, or any alternative plan of
reorganization, no further proceedings shall be taken on those
proposals or plans.
The resolution making determinations shall also do all of
the following:
(a) Make any of the findings or determinations authorized or
required pursuant to Section 56375.
(b) For any proposal initiated by the commission pursuant to
subdivision (a) of Section 56375, make both of the following
determinations:
(1) Public service costs of a proposal that the commission is
authorizing are likely to be less than or substantially similar to
the costs of alternative means of providing the service.
(2) A change or organization or reorganization that is authorized
by the commission promotes public access and accountability for
community services needs and financial resources.
(c) If applicable, assign a distinctive short-term designation to
the affected territory and a description of the territory.
(d) Initiate protest proceedings pursuant to Part 4 (commencing
with Section 57000) in compliance with the resolution.
The executive officer shall mail a copy of the resolution
adopted by the commission making determinations addressed to each of
the following persons or entities:
(a) The proponents, if any, where the proceedings for change of
organization were initiated by petition.
(b) Each affected local agency whose boundaries would be changed
by the proposal.
The executive officer may, before the completion of a
proceeding, on good cause being shown, correct clerical errors or
mistakes made through inadvertence, surprise, or excusable neglect
that may be contained in the resolution adopted by the commission
making determinations, upon written request by any member of the
commission, by the executive officer, or by any affected agency. A
correction made pursuant to this section shall not be cause for
filing a request pursuant to Section 56895.
(a) Except as otherwise provided in subdivision (b), if the
commission wholly disapproves any proposal:
(1) No further proceedings shall be taken on that proposal.
(2) No similar proposal involving the same or substantially the
same territory shall be initiated for one year after the date of
adoption of the resolution terminating proceedings.
(b) The commission may waive the requirements of subdivision (a)
if it finds those requirements are detrimental to the public
interest.
