Summary of Request

On June 5, 2024, the Mendocino County Board of Supervisors adopted a resolution approving a Master Tax Sharing Agreement between the County of Mendocino, the City of Fort Bragg, the City of Point Arena, the City of Ukiah, and the City of Willits. The Master Tax Sharing Agreement was brought forward to the BOS by Ad Hoc members of Supervisor Mulheren and Gjerde.

 

On April 16, 2025, the Ukiah City Council approved direction to Staff to prepare applications for reorganization and sphere of influence update, to prezone those areas subject to the reorganization and make relevant amendments to the City of Ukiah 2040 General Plan, and to conduct any required analyses, including any analyses required by CEQA, in support of the applications, prezoning, and General Plan Amendment, and to bring these documents to the City Council for consideration.

 

On May 5, 2025, the Mendocino County Board of Supervisors formed an Ad Hoc Committee to work with CEO through the consultation process required by the Master Tax Sharing Agreement with the City of Ukiah, regarding the City's proposed change of organization as discussed at the April 16, 2025, City Council Meeting.

 

If approved by the Mendocino Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCo), this reorganization could have major financial and operational implications for the County of Mendocino.
