Dear Ms. O'Neill,
Mr. Kenber needs to explain his misstatement of FACT. The Incorporation Petition contains an incorporation proposal that specifies an autonomous goverment and city council under general law of California. This petition is part of an application to Contra Costa County LAFCo to form such an autonomous government without obligation to citizens' participation via commissions and committees allowable under the general law of California.
All study by LAFCo, under the general law of California, is to say YES or NO to incorporation proposal summarized in the petition and detailed in the LAFCo application for such a city incorporation.

There is an important question now that proponents of incorporation have more than 1500 signatures and opponents have more than 2000 listed supporters.

It must of been a senior moment for me, but I read this article to mean that each person only signed half their name and the volunteers were going to have to get the rest of each signature.
I could only imagine.
Good luck with incorporation, but don't copy Danville's mistakes and there are too many of them.
