City Attorney Galante explained that City staff confirmed the jurisdictional boundary lines appropriately front the street centerline and there is no circumstances where the City's jurisdictional line covers the entire street. City Attorney Galante stated Local Agency Formation Commission ( LAFCO) representatives explained the boundary setting process is unique and for policy reasons they prefer not having a jurisdiction cover the entire road in order to maintain consistency with good policy when addressing utility, law enforcement, and various other issues.
