Recommendation R2
The grand jury recommends the Mono LAFCO Commissioners define an SOI and Service Review policy for satisfying California State law regarding the update of SOI's and pre-requisite service reviews every 5 years. The approach should outline criteria to guide the depth and rigor of analysis, criteria for ranking priority of update efforts, cadence of updates across all entities they oversee, and an approach for community engagement. The recommendation is to be completed by 10/1/2025.
