LAFCo - 10/7/26

At the Sacramento Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCo) meeting on October 7, 2026, the commission approved a contract with Platinum Strategies, Inc. for CPA services as part of LAFCo’s transition from county financial support. The work will include reviewing transparency and accounting policies, establishing financial procedures and QuickBooks, supporting accounts payable, and preparing for future audits and governmental accounting standards compliance. The contract was approved unanimously; no dollar amount was stated. The consent calendar, items 2–6, was also approved 4–0, with no procurement details provided.

The commission deferred consideration of a contract with South Fork for part-time staffing services because staff needed to confirm compliance with applicable contractor-related requirements, including notice procedures for represented groups. The item was postponed to a date uncertain, with staff hoping to return it in a future meeting. The commission also unanimously directed its voting delegates to support a proposed CALAFCO bylaw amendment concerning associate membership. Staff reported upcoming municipal service review and sphere-of-influence work, including projects involving water and fire districts and a Sacramento city review, but no related procurement award was made at this meeting.
