City of Pleasanton Legislative Platform 2016 <br /> 0 0 o <br /> 6. Unintended Consequences.We are concerned that the bill has unintended consequences in the <br /> ability to provide necessary services to an existing DUC.While recent amendments do not <br /> require cities to extend services to all DUCs outside its boundaries,one could argue that to avoid <br /> having to take responsibility of any DUC a community may not wish to expand its sphere at all. <br /> The League remains committed to help in finding solutions to these issues in service delivery to <br /> disadvantaged communities.We recognize,however,that simply changing the boundaries or spheres of <br /> local agencies does little to ensure adequate services are truly being delivered.A major obstacle remains; <br /> infrastructure and operational funding for these services.This measure assumes that the best way to <br /> provide services to a disadvantaged community is to require the city that is adjacent to the DUC to <br /> provide those services.We believe that addressing the needs of disadvantaged communities through the <br /> planning process and finding tools to support infrastructure deficiencies and operational costs remain a <br /> very important part of the solution. <br /> If you have any questions regarding the League's position on this bill,please call me at(916)658-8250. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> • <br /> Kendra Harris <br /> Legislative Representative <br /> Cc: Members,Senate Governance&Finance Committee <br /> Brian Weinberger,Consultant,Senate Local Governance and Finance Committee <br /> Ryan Eisberg,Consultant,Senate Republican Caucus <br /> 361 Page <br />
