Reminder for your calendars:

On August 7, 2008, Contra Costa Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCO), will present incorporation study results in a community meeting held at the Creekside Church, 7PM to 9PM, in the Alamo business district. The purpose of this meeting is to provide understanding of the study results to residents within the boundaries of the proposed Town of Alamo and answer any questions related to such studies.

We encourage regional neighbors to attend this meeting to better understand incorporation proposed as the Town of Alamo. It is important that opposition, supporters and those that differ with current incorporation proposal attend this meeting and express their will, interests and opinions to LAFCO staff for commissioners’ consideration.

Notice: County and county-related meetings use the term “testimony” to describe commentary, opinion, concern and complaint voiced by individual residents at their public meetings. Please do not be intimidated by the term ‘testimony” and understand that the word is being misused due to its definition, “Evidence given under oath by a competent witness.” At no time does your right of commentary, opinion, concern and complaint qualify as “testimony” or are you responsible for any commentary under the rules of law governing “testimony.”
