1 INTRODUCTION
1.1 Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCo) History
This report is prepared pursuant to State legislation enacted in 2000 that requires Colusa
LAFCo to complete a comprehensive review of municipal service delivery and update the
spheres of influence (SOIs) of all agencies under LAFCo’s jurisdiction. This chapter
provides an overview of LAFCo’s history, powers and responsibilities. It discusses the
origins and legal requirements for preparation of a Service Review commonly referred to
as a Municipal Service Review (MSR). Finally, the chapter reviews the process for MSR
review, MSR approval and SOI updates.
After World War II, California experienced dramatic growth in population and economic
development. With this boom came a demand for housing, jobs and public services. To
accommodate this demand, many new local government agencies were formed, often with
little forethought as to the ultimate governance structures within a given region. A lack of
coordination and adequate planning led to a multitude of overlapping, inefficient
jurisdictional and service area boundaries, many of which resulted in the premature
conversion of California’s agricultural and open-space lands and duplication of services.
Recognizing this problem, in 1959, Governor Edmund G. Brown, Sr. appointed the
Commission on Metropolitan Area Problems. The Commission's charge was to study and
make recommendations on the "misuse of land resources" and the growing complexity of
local governmental jurisdictions. The Commission's recommendations on local
governmental reorganization were introduced in the Legislature in 1963; resulting in the
creation of a Local Agency Formation Commission, or "LAFCo," operating in every county.
LAFCo was formed as a countywide agency to discourage urban sprawl and to encourage
the orderly formation and development of local government agencies within its jurisdiction.
LAFCo is responsible for coordinating logical and timely changes in local governmental
boundaries; including annexations and detachments of territory, incorporations of cities,
formations of special districts, and consolidations, mergers and dissolutions of districts, as
well as reviewing ways to reorganize, simplify, and streamline governmental structure.
The Commission's efforts are focused on ensuring services are provided efficiently and
economically while agricultural and open-space lands are protected or conserved to the
extent possible. To better inform itself and the in compliance with the State Law; LAFCo
conducts MSR’s to evaluate the provision of municipal services for service providers within
its jurisdiction.
LAFCo regulates, through approval, denial, conditions and modification, boundary
changes proposed by public agencies or individual voters and landowners. It also
regulates the extension of public services by cities and special districts outside their
boundaries. LAFCo is empowered to initiate updates to the SOIs and proposals involving
the dissolution, consolidation or formation of special districts, establishment of subsidiary
districts, and any reorganization including such actions. Where LAFCo is not given specific
authority, LAFCo actions must originate as petitions from affected voters or landowners,
or by resolutions by affected cities or special districts.

Colusa LAFCo
Colusa County Cemetery Districts MSR/SOI
A Plan for Services is required in Government Code Section 56653. A Plan for Services
must include the following information: An enumeration and description of services to be
provided, the level and range of those services, an indication of how those services are to
be extended into the territory, an indication of any improvements or upgrading of
structures, Information on how the services are to be financed.
1.2 Preparation of the MSR
Research for this Municipal Service Review (MSR) was conducted during the late fall of
2019. This MSR is intended to support preparation and update of Spheres of Influence,
in accordance with the provisions of the Cortese-Knox-Hertzberg Act. The objectives of
this Municipal Service Review (MSR) are as follows:
ü To develop recommendations that will promote more efficient and higher quality
service options and patterns
ü To identify areas for service improvement
ü To assess the adequacy of service provision as it relates to determination of
appropriate sphere boundaries
While LAFCo prepared the MSR document, given budgetary constraints, LAFCo did not
engage the services of experts in engineering, hydrology, geology, water quality, fire
protection, accounting or other specialists in related fields, but relied upon published
reports and available information. Insofar there is conflicting or inconclusive information
LAFCo staff may recommend the district retain a licensed professional or expert in a
particular field for an opinion.
Therefore, this MSR reflects LAFCo’s recommendations, based on available information
during the research period and provided by Cemetery District Boards to assist in its
determinations related to promoting more efficient and higher quality service patterns;
identifying areas for service improvement; and assessing the adequacy of service pro-
vision by the various cemetery districts. Additional information on local government
funding issues in found in Appendix A at the end of this report.
1.3 Role and Responsibility of LAFCo
Local Agency Formation Commissions (LAFCos) in California are independent agencies
created by the California Legislature in 1963 for the purpose of encouraging the orderly
formation of local government agencies and conserving and preserving natural resources.
The Cortese-Knox-Hertzberg Local Government Reorganization Act of 2000 (Government
Code §56000 et seq.) is the statutory authority for the preparation of an MSR, and periodic
updates of the Sphere of Influence (SOI) of each local agency.
LAFCos are responsible for coordinating logical and timely changes in local governmental
boundaries, conducting special studies that review ways to reorganize, simplify, and
streamline governmental structure, preparing a review of services called a MSR, and
preparing a SOI thereby determining the future “probable” boundary for each city and
special district within each county.

Colusa LAFCo
Colusa County Cemetery Districts MSR/SOI
The Commission's efforts are directed toward seeing that services are provided efficiently
and economically while agricultural and open-space lands are protected. Often citizens
are confused as to what LAFCo’s role is. LAFCos do not have enforcement authority nor
do they have the authority to initiate a city or district annexation or detachment proceeding.
LAFCos may initiate consolidation or dissolution proceedings; however, these
proceedings are subject to the voter approval or denial.
The Legislature has given LAFCos the authority to modify any proposal before it to ensure
the protection of agricultural and open space resources, discourage urban sprawl and
promote orderly boundaries and the provision of adequate services.
The Governor’s Office of Planning and Research (OPR) has issued Guidelines for the
preparation of a MSR. This MSR adheres to the procedures set forth in OPR’s MSR
Guidelines.
A SOI is a plan for the probable physical boundaries and service area of a local agency,
as determined by the affected Local Agency Formation Commission (Government Code
§56076). Government Code §56425(f) requires that each SOI be updated not less than
every five years, and §56430 provides that a MSR shall be conducted in advance of the
SOI update.
1.4 Municipal Services Review Requirements
Effective January 1, 2001 and subsequently amended, LAFCo is required to conduct a
review of municipal services provided in the county by region, sub-region or other
designated geographic area, as appropriate, for the service or services to be reviewed,
and prepare a written statement of determination with respect to each of the following six
topics (Government Code §56430):
1. Growth and population projections for the affected area
2. The location and characteristics of any disadvantaged unincorporated
communities (DUC) within or contiguous to the sphere of influence
3. Present and planned capacity of public facilities and adequacy of public services,
including infrastructure needs or deficiencies
4. Financial ability of agencies to provide services
5. Status of, and opportunities for shared facilities
6. Accountability for community service needs, including governmental structure and
operational efficiencies
1.5 Municipal Services Review Process
For local agencies, the MSR process involves the following steps:
• Outreach: LAFCo outreach and explanation of the project
• Data Discovery: provide documents and respond to LAFCo questions
3
Colusa LAFCo
Colusa County Cemetery Districts MSR/SOI
• Map Review: review and comment on LAFCo draft map of the agency’s boundary
and sphere of influence
• Profile Review: internal review and comment on LAFCo draft profile of the agency
• Public Review Draft MSR: review and comment on LAFCo draft MSR
• LAFCo Hearing: attend and provide public comments on MSR
MSRs are exempt from California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to
§15262 (feasibility or planning studies) or §15306 (information collection) of the CEQA
Guidelines. LAFCo’s actions to adopt MSR determinations are not considered “projects”
subject to CEQA. The MSR process does not require LAFCo to initiate changes of
organization based on service review findings, only that LAFCo identify potential
government structure options.
However, LAFCo, other local agencies, and the public may subsequently use the
determinations to analyze prospective changes of organization or reorganization or to
establish or amend SOIs. Within its legal authorization, LAFCo may act with respect to a
recommended change of organization or reorganization on its own initiative (e.g., certain
types of consolidations), or in response to a proposal (i.e., initiated by resolution or petition
by landowners or registered voters).
Once LAFCo has adopted the MSR determinations, it must update the SOI for each
jurisdiction. The LAFCo Commission determines and adopts the spheres of influence for
each agency. A CEQA determination is made by LAFCo on a case-by-case basis for each
sphere of influence action and each change of organization, once the proposed project
characteristics are sufficiently identified to assess environmental impacts.
1.6 Sphere Of Influence Update Process
The Commission is charged with developing and updating the Sphere of Influence (SOI)
for each city and special district within the county.1
An SOI is a LAFCo-approved plan that designates an agency’s probable future boundary
and service area. Spheres are planning tools used to provide guidance for individual
boundary change proposals and are intended to encourage efficient provision of organized
community services and prevent duplication of service delivery. Territory cannot be
annexed by LAFCo to a city or district unless it is within that agency's sphere.
The purposes of the SOI include the following:
• to ensure the efficient provision of services
• to discourage urban sprawl and premature conversion of agricultural and open
space lands
• to prevent overlapping jurisdictions and duplication of services
1 The initial statutory mandate, in 1971, imposed for no deadline for completing sphere designations. When most LAFCos
failed to act, 1984 legislation required all LAFCos to establish spheres of influence by 1985.

Colusa LAFCo
Colusa County Cemetery Districts MSR/SOI
LAFCo may not directly regulate land use, dictate internal operations or administration of
any local agency, or set rates. LAFCo is empowered to enact policies that indirectly affect
land use decisions. On a regional level, LAFCo promotes logical and orderly development
of communities as it considers and decides individual proposals. LAFCo has a role in
reconciling differences between agency plans so that the most efficient urban service
arrangements are created for the benefit of current and future area residents and property
owners.
The Cortese-Knox-Hertzberg (CKH) Act requires LAFCos to develop and determine the
SOI of each local governmental agency within its jurisdiction and to review and update the
SOI every five years, as necessary. LAFCos are empowered to adopt, update and amend
a SOI. They may do so with or without an application. Any interested person may submit
an application proposing an SOI amendment.
While SOIs are required to be updated every five years, as necessary, this does not
necessarily define the planning horizon of the SOI. The term or horizon of the SOI is
determined by each LAFCo.
LAFCo may recommend government reorganizations to particular agencies in the county,
using the SOIs as the basis for those recommendations. In determining the SOI, LAFCo
is required to complete an MSR and adopt the six determinations previously discussed. In
addition, in adopting or amending an SOI, LAFCo must make the following five
determinations as required in Government Code section 56425(c):
1. Present and planned land uses in the area, including agricultural and open-space
lands
2. Present and probable need for public facilities and services in the area
3. Present capacity of public facilities and adequacy of public service that the agency
provides or is authorized to provide
4. Existence of any social or economic communities of interest in the area if the
Commission determines these are relevant to the agency
5. For an update of an SOI of a city or special district that provides public facilities or
services related to sewers, municipal and industrial water, or structural fire
protection, the present and probable need for those public facilities and services
of any disadvantaged unincorporated communities within the existing sphere of
influence. 2
The CKH Act stipulates several procedural requirements in updating SOIs. It requires
cities to file written statements on the class of services to be provided and LAFCo must
clearly establish the location, nature and extent of services provided by special districts.
2 California Government Code Section 56425 (e)(5)
5
Colusa LAFCo
Colusa County Cemetery Districts MSR/SOI
By statute, LAFCo must notify affected agencies 21 days before holding the public hearing
to consider the SOI and may not update the SOI until after that hearing. The LAFCo
Executive Officer must issue a report including recommendations on the SOI amendments
and updates under consideration at least five days before the public hearing.
1.7 Possible Approaches to the Sphere of Influence
LAFCo may recommend government reorganizations to particular agencies in the county,
using the SOIs as the basis for those recommendations. Based on review of the guidelines
of Colusa LAFCo as well as other LAFCos in the State, various conceptual approaches
have been identified from which to choose in designating an SOI. These seven
approaches are explained below:
1) Coterminous Sphere:
A Coterminous Sphere means that the Sphere of Influence for a city or special district that
is the same as its existing boundaries of the city or district.
2) Annexable Sphere:
A sphere larger than the agency’s boundaries identifies areas the agency is expected to
annex. The annexable area is outside the district boundaries and inside the sphere of
influence.
3) Detachable Sphere:
A sphere that is smaller than the agency’s boundaries identifies areas the agency is
expected to detach. The detachable area is the area within the agency bounds but not
within its sphere of influence.
4) Zero Sphere:
A zero sphere indicates the affected agency’s public service functions should be
reassigned to another agency and the agency should be dissolved or combined with one
or more other agencies.
5) Consolidated Sphere:
A consolidated sphere includes two or more local agencies and indicates the agencies
should be consolidated into one agency.
6) Limited Service Sphere:
A limited service sphere is the territory included within the SOI of a multi-service provider
agency that is also within the boundary of a limited purpose district which provides the
same service (e.g., fire protection), but not all needed services. Territory designated as a
limited service SOI may be considered for annexation to the limited purpose agency
without detachment from the multi-service provider.
6
Colusa LAFCo
Colusa County Cemetery Districts MSR/SOI
This type of SOI is generally adopted when the following conditions exist:
a) The limited service provider is providing adequate, cost effective and efficient
services
b) The multi-service agency is the most logical provider of the other services
c) There is no feasible or logical SOI alternative
d) Inclusion of the territory is in the best interests of local government organization
and structure in the area
Government Code §56001 specifically recognizes that in rural areas it may be appropriate
to establish limited purpose agencies to serve an area rather than a single service
provider, if multiple limited purpose agencies are better able to provide efficient services
to an area rather than one service district.
Moreover, Government Code Section §56425(i), governing sphere determinations, also
authorizes a sphere for less than all of the services provided by a district by requiring a
district affected by a sphere action to “establish the nature, location, and extent of any
functions of classes of services provided by existing districts” recognizing that more than
one district may serve an area and that a given district may provide less than its full range
of services in an area.
1.8 Description of Public Participation Process
The LAFCo proceedings are subject to the provisions of California’s open meeting law,
the Ralph M. Brown Act (Government Code Sections 54950 et seq.). The Brown Act
requires advance posting of meeting agendas and contains various other provisions
designed to ensure that the public has adequate access to information regarding the
proceedings of public boards and commissions. Colusa LAFCo complies with the
requirements of the Brown Act.
The State MSR Guidelines provide that all LAFCos should encourage and provide multiple
public participation opportunities in the MSR process.

2 ARBUCKLE CEMETERY DISTRICT
2.1 Arbuckle
The town of Arbuckle is situated in the southerly portion of Colusa County, about 45
minutes north of Sacramento: elevation 141 feet above sea level. Arbuckle is
characterized by a small town charm and filled with beautiful agricultural views. Arbuckle
Public Utility District is responsible for the water and sewer lines within the
District.3 Tacitus R. Arbuckle initially established a ranch near the present town of
Arbuckle in 1866. The railroad came in 1875 and the town was founded and named for
Arbuckle, on whose land it was built. The post office was established the following year,
1876.
The population of Arbuckle was 3,484 in 2020. This is an increase from 3,028 in 2010.
The Arbuckle Cemetery District estimates that 4471 people reside within the Cemetery
District.4 Arbuckle has an elementary school, junior high school, high school and a
continuation school operated by the Pierce Joint Unified School District.5 In 2019 the
Median Household Income in Arbuckle was $65,238, compared to $80,440 for the State
of California.6 Arbuckle would not be considered a disadvantaged unincorporated
community because the Median Household Income is higher than $64,352 (80% of the
State Median Household Income).
2.2 Arbuckle Cemetery District
2.2.1 History of Arbuckle Cemetery District
The Arbuckle Cemetery was opened in 1890 and the Cemetery District was organized in

2.3 Arbuckle Cemetery District Municipal Service Review
2.3.1 Growth and Population Projections for the Arbuckle Cemetery
District Area 16
Purpose: To evaluate service needs based on existing and anticipated growth patterns
and population projections.
A. Arbuckle Cemetery District Area Population Projections
Population growth in the unincorporated area of Colusa County was very slow between
2010 and 2018, less than one percent as reported in the Colusa County Housing
Element.17 This trend is expected to continue. The Arbuckle area is served by the
Arbuckle PUD water system which has adequate water supplies to accommodate
expected population growth.18
B. MSR Determinations on Growth and Population Projections for the Arbuckle
Cemetery District Area
MSR 1-1) The population of the Arbuckle Cemetery District area is not expected to
increase substantially in the near future.
2.3.2 Location and Characteristics of any Disadvantaged Unincorporated
Communities (DUC) within or Contiguous to Arbuckle Cemetery District19
Purpose: To comply with the State Law to examine any unincorporated areas which
could be provided with better services by annexing to an adjacent city.
A. Determination of District Area Disadvantaged Unincorporated Community Status
SB 244 defines disadvantaged unincorporated community as any area with 12 or more
registered voters, or as determined by commission policy, where the median household
income is less than 80 percent of the statewide annual median.
16 California Government Code Section 56430. (a) (1)

Colusa LAFCo
Colusa County Cemetery Districts MSR/SOI
SB 244 also requires LAFCos to consider disadvantaged unincorporated communities
when developing spheres of influence. Upon the next update of a sphere of influence on
or after July 1, 2012, SB 244 requires LAFCo to include in an MSR (in preparation of a
sphere of influence update):
1) The location and characteristics of any disadvantaged unincorporated
communities within or contiguous to the sphere; and
2) The present and planned capacity of public facilities, adequacy of public
services and infrastructure needs or deficiencies including needs or
deficiencies related to sewers, municipal and industrial water, and
structural fire protection in any disadvantaged unincorporated community
within or contiguous to the sphere of influence.
B. MSR Determinations on Disadvantaged Unincorporated Communities near
Arbuckle Cemetery District
MSR 2-1) The Median Household Income in Arbuckle is reported to be $69,89320 or
$74,728; compared to a State Median Household Income of $80,440.21
(Eighty percent of the State MHI is $64,352.) Thus, Arbuckle would not be
a Disadvantaged Unincorporated Community. However, household
income data is difficult to determine for small unincorporated areas
without a specific household survey.
2.3.3 Capacity and Infrastructure
Purpose: To evaluate the present and planned capacity of public facilities, adequacy of
public services, and infrastructure needs or deficiencies including needs or deficiencies
related to sewers, municipal and industrial water, and structural fire protection in any
disadvantaged, unincorporated communities within or contiguous to the sphere of
influence.22
A. Infrastructure
The Arbuckle Cemetery District has a cemetery of 17 acres with a fence, lawn, graveled
roadways, three shop buildings and public restrooms.
B. MSR Determinations on Infrastructure for Arbuckle Cemetery District
MSR 3-1) The infrastructure for the Arbuckle Cemetery District is adequate for the
foreseeable future.
2.3.4 Financial Ability to Provide Services23
Purpose: To evaluate factors that affect the financing of needed improvements and to
identify practices or opportunities that may help eliminate unnecessary costs without
decreasing service levels.
A. Financial Considerations for Arbuckle Cemetery District
The fee schedule, budget and audit for the Arbuckle Cemetery District are shown above
in this report.

B. MSR Determinations on Financing for Arbuckle Cemetery District
MSR 4-1) The Arbuckle Cemetery District has a fee schedule, budget and audit as
require by law. The District is supported primarily by taxes; fees alone
would not support the operation and maintenance of the Cemetery.
2.3.5 Status of and Opportunities for Shared Facilities 24
Purpose: To evaluate the opportunities for a jurisdiction to share facilities and resources
to develop more efficient service delivery systems.
A. Facilities
The Arbuckle Cemetery District does not share facilities with other districts. This would
not be feasible for cemetery districts. The District does cooperate with the County of
Colusa for financial services which is a beneficial cost-saving measure.
B. MSR Determinations on Shared Facilities for Arbuckle Cemetery District
MSR 5-1) The Arbuckle Cemetery District works with the County of Colusa to
process claims, manage accounts and have the annual audit prepared.
2.3.6 Accountability for Community Service Needs, Government Structure and
Operational Efficiencies25
Purpose: To consider the advantages and disadvantages of various government
structures that could provide public services, to evaluate the management capabilities of
the organization and to evaluate the accessibility and levels of public participation
associated with the agency’s decision-making and management processes.
A. Government Structure
The Arbuckle Cemetery District has a three-member Board of Directors and uses
contract help to operate the District and to maintain the cemetery. The District is aware
that a website is required and is working to establish one.
B. MSR Determinations on Local Accountability and Governance
MSR 6-1) The District cooperated with Colusa LAFCo to submit the required
information in a timely manner.
MSR 6-2) The District is fortunate to have a three person Board of Trustees to
manage the District business.
MSR 6-3) The District is aware that a website is required by the State Law.
MSR 6-4) The District operates the cemetery and related services in a business-like
manner.
MSR 6-5) The District works with the County of Colusa to maintain financial records
and audits.

3.2.4 District Website Requirement
Every California independent special district is required to maintain a website by January
1, 2020. Senate Bill 929 added Government Code sections 6270.6 and 53087.8 to
provide the public easily accessible and accurate information about the districts. The
requirements for the District website are as follows:
1) Contact Information
2) Current Agenda
3) Financial Transaction Reports (as sent to State Comptroller)
4) Compensation Reports (as sent to State Comptroller)
The College City Cemetery District does not have a website. It would be good if the
District could partner with another District or with Colusa County to have a webpage that
meets the State requirements.
3.2.5 College City Cemetery District Fee Schedule
The College City Cemetery District did not supply a copy of
the fee schedule to Colusa LAFCo in time for the

3.3 College City Cemetery District Municipal Service Review
3.3.1 Growth and Population Projections for the College City Cemetery
District Area 39
Purpose: To evaluate service needs based on existing and anticipated growth patterns
and population projections.
A. College City Cemetery District Area Population Projections
College City had a population of 290 in 2010 and the population in 2020 was 292; so not
a substantial change. This trend is likely to continue into the future.
B. MSR Determinations on Growth and Population Projections for the College City
Cemetery District Area
MSR 1-1) College City is often included with Arbuckle so it is difficult to make
population projections just for College City; however, the community is
not expected to increase in population in the near future.

26
Colusa LAFCo
Colusa County Cemetery Districts MSR/SOI
3.3.2 Location and Characteristics of any Disadvantaged Unincorporated
Communities (DUC) within or Contiguous to College City Cemetery
District40
Purpose: To comply with the State Law to examine any unincorporated areas which
could be provided with better services by annexing to an adjacent city.
A. Determination of District Area Disadvantaged Unincorporated Community Status
SB 244 defines disadvantaged unincorporated community as any area with 12 or more
registered voters, or as determined by commission policy, where the median household
income is less than 80 percent of the statewide annual median.
SB 244 also requires LAFCos to consider disadvantaged unincorporated communities
when developing spheres of influence. Upon the next update of a sphere of influence on
or after July 1, 2012, SB 244 requires LAFCo to include in an MSR (in preparation of a
sphere of influence update):
1) The location and characteristics of any disadvantaged unincorporated
communities within or contiguous to the sphere; and
2) The present and planned capacity of public facilities, adequacy of public
services and infrastructure needs or deficiencies including needs or
deficiencies related to sewers, municipal and industrial water, and
structural fire protection in any disadvantaged unincorporated community
within or contiguous to the sphere of influence.
B. MSR Determinations on Disadvantaged Unincorporated Communities near
College City Cemetery District
MSR 2-1) The Median Household Income in College City was $51,363 as of July 1,
2021 compared to $78,672 for the State of California; and the population
was 294.41 Therefore, the Median Household Income was lower than 80%
of the State Median Household Income which would be $62,937; thus
qualifying College City as a Disadvantaged Unincorporated Community.
2.3.3 Capacity and Infrastructure for College City Cemetery District
Purpose: To evaluate the present and planned capacity of public facilities, adequacy of
public services, and infrastructure needs or deficiencies including needs or deficiencies
related to sewers, municipal and industrial water, and structural fire protection in any
disadvantaged, unincorporated communities within or contiguous to the sphere of
influence.42

B. MSR Determinations on Financing for College City Cemetery District
MSR 4-1) The College City Cemetery District has sufficient revenue to operate the
District according to the Colusa County Auditor.
3.3.5 Status of and Opportunities for Shared Facilities 45

types of special districts. However, the College City Cemetery District does work with the
Colusa County Auditor and Treasurer to have the annual audit and budget prepared and
to process claims.
B. MSR Determinations on Shared Facilities for College City Cemetery District
MSR 5-1) The College City Cemetery District works with the Colusa County Auditor
and Treasurer to process claims and prepare financial records.
3.3.6 Accountability for Community Service Needs, Government Structure and
Operational Efficiencies46
Purpose: To consider the advantages and disadvantages of various government
structures that could provide public services, to evaluate the management capabilities of
the organization and to evaluate the accessibility and levels of public participation
associated with the agency’s decision-making and management processes.

4.1 Colusa
4.1.1 City of Colusa History
The City of Colusa history dates back to 1850 as noted below:
Founded in 1850, the City of Colusa was briefly known as Salmon Bend.
Prior to its incorporation, the City was the site of an Indian village
inhabited by a subgroup of the Wintun Indian Nation. One of the first
Anglo-Saxon settlers was the Semple family. This group settled along the
Sacramento River at present day Colusa and established a trading center
for gold mining activities farther north in Trinity and Shasta Counties.
River steamers could travel as far north as Red Bluff in the winter but
could navigate only up to Colusa in the summer due to low water levels.
Because Colusa was at the upper end of navigable waters during
summer months, the town became a year-round center of commerce.53
4.1.2 City of Colusa Demographics
The City of Colusa had 6,411 residents as of April 1, 2020 and increase from the 2010
census which counted 5,971 residents.54 The median household income in Colusa, CA
in 2019 was $51,36455 or $54,917, which was less than the median annual income of
$80,440 across the entire state of California.56
4.1.3 City of Colusa Services
The City of Colusa has a full range of city services, elementary, middle and high schools,
a medical center, commercial businesses, civic organizations and religious institutions.
The City of Colusa is also the County Seat for Colusa County.
4.2 Colusa Cemetery District
4.2.1 Colusa Cemetery District History

4.2.2 Colusa Cemetery District Facilities58
The Colusa Cemetery is located one-half mile west of Colusa on Wilson Avenue. This
cemetery of 19 acres has fences, black top roads, lawns, and buildings. There is a 1,000
gallon water tank, a well with a 15horse power pump and equipment. The District
planted 67 Italian Cypress trees in 2006. In 2008 the District constructed a building for a
shop and office. In 2016 the Niche wall was completed.
The Holy Cross Cemetery is no longer part of the Cemetery District. This Cemetery is
administered by the Catholic Church Diocese as of April 1999.
The District would like to install a new sprinkler system as explained on the District
website:
Currently the cemetery is operating on a sprinkler system from the 1940's
and is in the process of installing an energy and water efficient sprinkler
system; however the cost of upgrading exceeds the funds designated for
the project. The Sprinkler system and installation will cost an estimated
320,000.00 dollars. The cemetery is currently researching grants and
other means to fund the project with little success. The Cemetery Districts
Goal is to complete the project by 2020.
Colusa is a lovely community that comes together when in need and we
are asking the community to help raise funds to complete the Sprinkler
System. All donations are tax deductible and can be made to Colusa
Cemetery District at 1974 Wilson Avenue, Colusa.59

4.3 Colusa Cemetery District Municipal Service Review
4.3.1 Growth and Population Projections for the Colusa Cemetery
District Area 63
Purpose: To evaluate service needs based on existing and anticipated growth patterns
and population projections.
A. Colusa Cemetery District Area Population Projections
Colusa LAFCo made the following determinations regarding growth for the City of
Colusa:64
c) Residential development potential in the City limits is significant. The
City approved development plans in the last decade for Sunrise Landing
where the early phases of construction are underway and 279 housing
units are approved, as well as two inactive projects, Colusa Crossings
with 1,300 housing units approved, and Riverbend with 367 housing units
approved. Another 783 housing units could be built on vacant lands within
the city limits, according to the City’s 2020 General Plan Housing
Element. Other development potential in the City limits includes
accessory dwelling units and subdivisions on underutilized residential
lands.
d) Development potential in the existing SOI includes a proposal south of
the high school for 161-acre Brookins Ranch Estates where 600 homes
and a fire station are proposed, and an active proposal for a 13-acre
Cheney-Wilson subdivision where 34 homes are proposed and
annexation has been initiated.
B. MSR Determinations on Growth and Population Projections for the Colusa
Cemetery District Area
MSR 1-1) The City of Colusa, which is within the Colusa Cemetery District, can
expect growth in residential development and population because the City
can supply urban services such as sewer and water and police protection.
4.3.2 Location and Characteristics of any Disadvantaged Unincorporated
Communities (DUC) within or Contiguous to Colusa Cemetery District65
Purpose: To comply with the State Law to examine any unincorporated areas which
could be provided with better services by annexing to an adjacent city.
A. Determination of District Area Disadvantaged Unincorporated Community Status
SB 244 defines disadvantaged unincorporated community as any area with 12 or more
registered voters, or as determined by commission policy, where the median household
income is less than 80 percent of the statewide annual median.
63 California Government Code Section 56430. (a) (1)
64 Colusa LAFCo, Resolution 2021-0002 City of Colusa Municipal Service Review April 1, 2021.
65 California Government Code Section 56430. (a) (2)
41
Colusa LAFCo
Colusa County Cemetery Districts MSR/SOI
SB 244 also requires LAFCos to consider disadvantaged unincorporated communities
when developing spheres of influence. Upon the next update of a sphere of influence on
or after July 1, 2012, SB 244 requires LAFCo to include in an MSR (in preparation of a
sphere of influence update):
1) The location and characteristics of any disadvantaged unincorporated
communities within or contiguous to the sphere; and
2) The present and planned capacity of public facilities, adequacy of public
services and infrastructure needs or deficiencies including needs or
deficiencies related to sewers, municipal and industrial water, and
structural fire protection in any disadvantaged unincorporated community
within or contiguous to the sphere of influence.
B. MSR Determinations on Disadvantaged Unincorporated Communities near
Colusa Cemetery District
MSR 2-1) The median household income in Colusa, CA in 2019 was $51,36466
or $54,917, which was less than the median annual income of $80,440
across the entire state of California;67 and also less than 80% of the
Median Household Income ($64,352). Therefore, Colusa could be
considered a Disadvantaged community.
4.3.3 Capacity and Infrastructure
Purpose: To evaluate the present and planned capacity of public facilities, adequacy of
public services, and infrastructure needs or deficiencies including needs or deficiencies
related to sewers, municipal and industrial water, and structural fire protection in any
disadvantaged, unincorporated communities within or contiguous to the sphere of
influence.68

5.3.2 Location and Characteristics of any Disadvantaged Unincorporated
Communities (DUC) within or Contiguous to Cypress Hill Cemetery
District88
Purpose: To comply with the State Law to examine any unincorporated areas which could
be provided with better services by annexing to an adjacent city.
A. Determination of District Area Disadvantaged Unincorporated Community Status
SB 244 defines disadvantaged unincorporated community as any area with 12 or more
registered voters, or as determined by commission policy, where the median household
income is less than 80 percent of the statewide annual median.
SB 244 also requires LAFCos to consider disadvantaged unincorporated communities
when developing spheres of influence. Upon the next update of a sphere of influence on
or after July 1, 2012, SB 244 requires LAFCo to include in an MSR (in preparation of a
sphere of influence update):
1) The location and characteristics of any disadvantaged unincorporated
communities within or contiguous to the sphere; and
2) The present and planned capacity of public facilities, adequacy of public
services and infrastructure needs or deficiencies including needs or
deficiencies related to sewers, municipal and industrial water, and
structural fire protection in any disadvantaged unincorporated community
within or contiguous to the sphere of influence.
B. MSR Determinations on Disadvantaged Unincorporated Communities near
Cypress Hill Cemetery District
MSR 2-1) The determination of DUC status is based on Median Household Income.
The Median Household Income for Colusa County is $59,401 which is
just below 80% of the California State MHI ($75,235) which would be
$60,188. Therefore, Lodoga can be considered a Disadvantaged
Unincorporated Community.
5.3.3 Cypress Hill Cemetery District Capacity and Infrastructure
Purpose: To evaluate the present and planned capacity of public facilities, adequacy of
public services, and infrastructure needs or deficiencies including needs or deficiencies
related to sewers, municipal and industrial water, and structural fire protection in any
disadvantaged, unincorporated communities within or contiguous to the sphere of
influence.89

5.3.4 Cypress Hill Cemetery District Financial Ability to Provide Services90
Purpose: To evaluate factors that affect the financing of needed improvements and to
identify practices or opportunities that may help eliminate unnecessary costs without
decreasing service levels.
A. Financial Considerations for Cypress Hill Cemetery District
The Cypress Hill Cemetery District received $4,504 in revenue in 2019-2020 as shown
in the audit report above. The District also has funds carried over from previous years.
Although this is not a large sum of money it should be adequate to maintain the District
as it is currently operated.
B. MSR Determinations on Financing for Cypress Hill Cemetery District
MSR 4-1) The Cypress Hill Cemetery District has a small income of approximately
$4,500 per year from taxes. This should be adequate for the District since
burials depend on family and friends for labor and there are few other
expenses.
5.3.5 Status of and Opportunities for Shared Facilities 91
Purpose: To evaluate the opportunities for a jurisdiction to share facilities and resources
to develop more efficient service delivery systems.
A. Facilities
The Cypress Hill Cemetery District cooperates with the County of Colusa to prepare the
annual audit required by the State Law.
B. MSR Determinations on Shared Facilities for Cypress Hill Cemetery District
MSR 5-1) The Cypress Hill Cemetery District cooperates with the County of Colusa
to have the annual audit prepared by the County Auditor-Controller’s
office.
5.3.6 Accountability for Community Service Needs, Government Structure and
Operational Efficiencies92
Purpose: To consider the advantages and disadvantages of various government
structures that could provide public services, to evaluate the management capabilities of
the organization and to evaluate the accessibility and levels of public participation
associated with the agency’s decision-making and management processes.
A. Government Structure
The Cypress Hill Cemetery District has a vacancy on the Board of Trustees and a small
income from taxes. This could make it difficult for the District to continue operation in the
future. However, the District has few expenses since friends and relatives do the work of
burials when required.
B. MSR Determinations on Local Accountability and Governance
MSR 6-1 The Cypress Hill Cemetery District should make every effort to maintain a
full three member Board of Trustees.

MSR 6-2 The Cypress Hill Cemetery District should work with the County of Colusa
to prepare an annual budget even though expenses are small.
MSR 6-3 The Cypress Hill Cemetery District should work with the other cemetery
districts to see if the District could participate with other districts in a
website at a low cost.
5.4 Cypress Hill Cemetery District Sphere Of Influence Update
5.4.1 Recommendation for Cypress Hill Cemetery District Sphere of Influence
At this time the recommendation for the Cypress Hill Cemetery District is that the Sphere

important to the community.

Stony Gorge Reservoir) so it will be up to residents of the area to
maintain it so that it would not get relocated in the future.

6.3.2 Location and Characteristics of any Disadvantaged Unincorporated
Communities (DUC) within or Contiguous to Grand Island Cemetery
District109
Purpose: To comply with the State Law to examine any unincorporated areas which
could be provided with better services by annexing to an adjacent city.
A. Determination of District Area Disadvantaged Unincorporated Community Status
SB 244 defines disadvantaged unincorporated community as any area with 12 or more
registered voters, or as determined by commission policy, where the median household
income is less than 80 percent of the statewide annual median.
SB 244 also requires LAFCos to consider disadvantaged unincorporated communities
when developing spheres of influence. Upon the next update of a sphere of influence on
or after July 1, 2012, SB 244 requires LAFCo to include in an MSR (in preparation of a
sphere of influence update):
1) The location and characteristics of any disadvantaged unincorporated
communities within or contiguous to the sphere; and
2) The present and planned capacity of public facilities, adequacy of public
services and infrastructure needs or deficiencies including needs or
deficiencies related to sewers, municipal and industrial water, and
structural fire protection in any disadvantaged unincorporated community
within or contiguous to the sphere of influence.
B. MSR Determinations on Disadvantaged Unincorporated Communities near
Grand Island Cemetery District
MSR 2-1) The community of Grimes, within the Grand Island Cemetery District, is a
Disadvantaged Unincorporated Community (DUC). The estimates of the

standard of 80% of the California Median Household Income.
The Median Household Income for Grimes was a low of $26,111110 or a
high of $41,857111 in 2019. In either case the community would be
considered Disadvantaged because the Median Household Income was
well below the Median Household Income for California of $80,440 and
the 80% determination point of $64,352.
6.3.3 Capacity and Infrastructure for Grand Island Cemetery District
Purpose: To evaluate the present and planned capacity of public facilities, adequacy of
public services, and infrastructure needs or deficiencies including needs or deficiencies
related to sewers, municipal and industrial water, and structural fire protection in any

7 MAXWELL CEMETERY DISTRICT
7.1 Maxwell
7.1.1 Maxwell Background
Maxwell (formerly, Occident) is a census-designated place and farm community. It lies at
an elevation of 92 feet. The community bears the name of its founder. Located
off Interstate 5, it is home to Maxwell High School. The main crop grown in the area is rice,
though a variety of others such as grapes, almonds, olives, squash, and sunflowers are
grown as well. Maxwell has limited commercial services and residents depend on
neighboring towns for medical and other needs.
7.1.2 Maxwell Population Data
The 2010 United States Census reported that Maxwell had a population of 1,103. The
2019 population of Maxwell was 1,076. The Median Household Income in Maxwell was
$64,239125 or $59,125 compared to a State of California Median Household Income of
$63,783126 or $75,235.127 If the higher Median Household Income for California is used
and the Lower Median Household income for Maxwell is used then Maxwell could qualify
as a Disadvantaged Unincorporated Community with a Median Household Income below
$60,188. A household survey would be required to gain more reliable income estimates.
7.1.3 Maxwell Water Supply
The following information from the Colusa County Housing Element shows that Maxwell
has sufficient water supply for future population growth:
Maxwell Public Utility District. The District receives all water for municipal
purposes from groundwater sources. The District pumps with a total of
three wells and has an elevated steel storage tank with a 100,000--gallon
storage capacity.
The District’s sources produce 1,550 gpm (of which 600 gpm meets
drinking water standards but is not drinkable), well above the District’s
annual, monthly and peak day demand of 119.17 million gallons (mg),
17.05 mg, and .64 mgd respectively. The District serves 463 connections
(residential, commercial, and agricultural) for a total service population of
858 people. Peak water usage per day is 1,384 gallons per day per
Equivalent Dwelling Unit (gpd/EDU). Maximum daily pumping capacity is
2,016,000 gallons per day compared to an average daily pumping
demand of 326,493 gallons per day. Demand is well below the District’s
source capacity.
The District’s distribution system is set in a grid pattern with many
dead---ends (1998 Department of Health Services Annual Inspection
Report). The system is composed entirely of C---900 PVC pipe ranging

from 4” up to 8” installed (C---900 PVC) with cast---iron valves,
new hydrants, and metering equipment. The District has a main
pressure zone with approximately 52 to 54 pounds per square inch (psi)
at all times. The District has four backflow prevention devices on the
system. The distribution system is properly maintained and is in good
working order.
In order to meet the increased demand that would be generated through
development of the residential parcels identified in the housing sites
inventory the District would need to add one or two new wells to the
system. Additionally, new development sites would need to extend
conveyance infrastructure to the site. The District has recently installed
(Well #6). (Chambers, 2018)
It is feasible that this new well could be online and operational within 1---2
years, which would provide adequate water supplies to meet the needs of
the housing sites inventory.128
The Maxwell PUD also provides wastewater collection and treatment services.
7.2 Maxwell Cemetery District
7.2.1 Maxwell Cemetery District History129
The Maxwell Cemetery District was organized by the Colusa County Board of
Supervisors on April 18, 1923 under the Public Cemetery Act of 1921 and the Health
and Safety Code of the State of California Paragraphs No. 8890-9925.
7.2.2 Maxwell Cemetery District Facilities130
The Maxwell Cemetery is located ¾ mile west of Maxwell on the Maxwell-Sites Highway.
The Cemetery was started in 1880 and has six acres. The grounds have fences, lawns
and oil and gravel roads. In 200-2001, four wrought iron gates were installed to guard
the entrances to the Cemetery. A sprinkler system was installed to cover the section
next to the Sutton/Cemetery Road to the first road in the Cemetery and from the
Maxwell/Sites road to the section referred to as the “Catholic” section. In 2004-2005, the
construction of a fence was started to enclose the cemetery grounds. Donations were
requested as a memorial in memory of family and friends to finance the fence
construction.

7.3 Maxwell Cemetery District Municipal Service Review
7.3.1 Growth and Population Projections for the Maxwell Cemetery
District Area 133
Purpose: To evaluate service needs based on existing and anticipated growth patterns
and population projections.
A. Maxwell Cemetery District Area Population Projections
The 2010 United States Census reported that Maxwell had a population of 1,103. The
2019 population of Maxwell was 1,076. Maxwell is not expected to grow because there
are limited employment opportunities in the area. The sewer and water systems could be
extended; however, this would be relatively expensive.
B. MSR Determinations on Growth and Population Projections for the Maxwell
Cemetery District Area
MSR 1-1) The Maxwell Cemetery District area is not expected to increase in
population due to limited employment opportunities and the cost of
extending sewer and water service.
7.3.2 Location and Characteristics of any Disadvantaged Unincorporated
Communities (DUC) within or Contiguous to Maxwell Cemetery District134
Purpose: To comply with the State Law to examine any unincorporated areas which
could be provided with better services by annexing to an adjacent city.
A. Determination of District Area Disadvantaged Unincorporated Community Status
SB 244 defines disadvantaged unincorporated community as any area with 12 or more
registered voters, or as determined by commission policy, where the median household
income is less than 80 percent of the statewide annual median.
SB 244 also requires LAFCos to consider disadvantaged unincorporated communities
when developing spheres of influence. Upon the next update of a sphere of influence on
or after July 1, 2012, SB 244 requires LAFCo to include in an MSR (in preparation of a
sphere of influence update):
1) The location and characteristics of any disadvantaged unincorporated
communities within or contiguous to the sphere; and
2) The present and planned capacity of public facilities, adequacy of public
services and infrastructure needs or deficiencies including needs or
deficiencies related to sewers, municipal and industrial water, and
structural fire protection in any disadvantaged unincorporated community
within or contiguous to the sphere of influence.

compared to a State of California Median Household Income of
$63,783136 or $75,235.137 If the higher Median Household Income for
California is used and the lower Median Household income for Maxwell is
used then Maxwell could qualify as a Disadvantaged Unincorporated
Community with a Median Household Income below $60,188. A
household survey would be required to gain more reliable income
estimates.
7.3.3 Capacity and Infrastructure for Maxwell Cemetery District
Purpose: To evaluate the present and planned capacity of public facilities, adequacy of
public services, and infrastructure needs or deficiencies including needs or deficiencies
related to sewers, municipal and industrial water, and structural fire protection in any
disadvantaged, unincorporated communities within or contiguous to the sphere of
influence.138

The Maxwell Cemetery is located ¾ mile west of Maxwell on the Maxwell-Sites Highway.
The Cemetery was started in 1880 and has six acres. The grounds have fences, lawns
and oil and gravel roads.
In 200-2001, four wrought iron gates were installed to guard the entrances to the
Cemetery. A sprinkler system was installed to cover the section next to the
Sutton/Cemetery Road to the first road in the Cemetery and from the Maxwell/Sites road
to the section referred to as the “Catholic” section.
In 2004-2005, the construction of a fence was started to enclose the cemetery grounds.
Donations were requested as a memorial in memory of family and friends to finance the
fence construction.
B. MSR Determinations on Infrastructure for Maxwell Cemetery District
MSR 3-1) The Maxwell cemetery of six acres with fences, lawns with sprinklers, and
gravel roads is adequate for the community.
7.3.4 Maxwell Cemetery District Financial Ability to Provide Services139
Purpose: To evaluate factors that affect the financing of needed improvements and to
identify practices or opportunities that may help eliminate unnecessary costs without
decreasing service levels.

8.1 Princeton
8.1.1 Princeton History
Princeton, located on the west bank of the Sacramento River, is one of the oldest in
points of settlement in Colusa County. Dr. Andrew Lull, a California pioneer on the
1850s, gave it the name of Princeton, when seeking to have a post office established
for this locality. The first postmaster was Mr. Arnet. Henry Vansycle opened the first
store and Dr. Lull, assisted by Will S. Green, laid out the first road on the east side of
the river running directly to Marysville. It was once the thoroughfare of the freight
current from Colusa to Shasta, and afterwards wheat was shipped from the plains to
the west, it was necessarily a busting thriving little village.150
8.1.2 Princeton Population
Princeton had a population of 292 as of July 1, 2021. The median household income in
Princeton, CA in 2019 was $51,974, (or $46,477)151 which was less than the median
annual income of $80,440 across the entire state of California.152
8.1.3 Princeton Facilities
Princeton has an Elementary School and a Jr.-Sr. High School. There is a Princeton Fire
Protection District with a fire station in at 342 Winter Street in Princeton and 14 volunteer
fire fighters.153
8.1.4 Princeton Water Works District
The Colusa County Housing Element notes the following regarding the Princeton Water
Works District:154
The Princeton Water Works District provides water service to
approximately 110 residential and commercial customers. The District
pumps 50,000 gallons per day in winter months and between 250,000 and
280,000 gallons per day in the summer months. The District isable to meet
peak water usage of up to 300,000 gallons per day during high demand
periods. The average peak water usage is 2,545 gallons per day. (LAFCO,
2017)
The initial distribution system infrastructure consisted of 4---inch welded
steel pipe. The entire distribution system was reconstructed in 1984 with a
combination of 4---inch (3,320 feet), 6---inch (6,050 feet) and 8---inch
(2,100 feet), asbestos---cement pipe. The distribution system is currently

in good working order. (LAFCO, 2017). Each well has a 1600---gallon
pressure tank and chlorination system for a total combined storage of
3,200 gallons. The District’s water pressure usually fluctuates between 45
to 65 pounds per square inch (psi) (LAFCO, 2017).
The District has adequate water capacity from two wells to serve the 110
existing connections (residential, schools and commercial) with average
demands of 50,000 to 60,000 gpd in winter months, and 250,000 to
280,000 gpd in the summer months. According to the District, it can meet
peak demands of up to 300,000 gpd, which is below the District’s capacity
of 320 gallons per minute. At 320 gpm, at peak flows, the district can pump
up to 460,800 gallons per day. (LAFCO, 2017)
With respect to the number of additional connections, during peak summer
usage days, a remaining pumping capacity of 180,800 gpd (460,800
gpd total pumping capacity ---280,000 gpd peak demand= 180,800
gpd excess capacity) could support up to 71 more water connections
(assuming current water usage of 2545 gpd, which is based on a peak
usage of 280,000 divided by the number of connections being 110).
(LAFCO, 2017) If more than 71 additional connections were required,
the District would need to explore the possibility of adding new wells to
the system. Groundwater levels in the area would support additional
pumping from new wells.

8.2.4 District Website Requirement
Every California independent special district is required to maintain a website by January
1, 2020. Senate Bill 929 added Government Code sections 6270.6 and 53087.8 to provide
the public easily accessible and accurate information about the districts. The requirements
for the District website are as follows:
1) Contact Information
2) Current Agenda
3) Financial Transaction Reports (as sent to State Comptroller)
4) Compensation Reports (as sent to State Comptroller)
The Princeton Cemetery District does not have a website. It would be beneficial if the
District could work with the County or another district to share a website.
8.2.5 Princeton Cemetery District Fee Schedule
The Princeton Cemetery District Fee Schedule is explained by the District as follows:
Each plot is $600.00 per plot plus there is an endowment fee of $150.00.
So the total cost prior to burial is $750.00.
Not just anyone can be buried in our cemetery, you must qualify. Either
lived here at one time, or in our qualifying surrounding areas.
There is a separate fee for the burial (digging & putting the dirt back), for
the urn ($50.00); for the coffin $600.00 depending on who does it.
We have some people who usually do it. This burial cost may go up, but
this is what it at currently. 157
8.2.6 Princeton Cemetery District Budget
The Princeton Cemetery District Budget is shown on the following page. The Budget is a
plan for spending. The Audit shows how funds were actually spent. The District depends

9.1 Stonyford
9.1.1 Stonyford Community
Stonyford (formerly, Stony Ford) is a census-designated place in Colusa County,

9.1.2 Stonyford County Service Area
Since the Stonyford water system is vital to the community a brief description will be
included below:
The Stonyford Water District is a County Service Area (CSA). The water
system was upgraded in 2007-2008 to include a $1.1 million water
infiltration system. There are approximately 60 Housing municipal hookups
on the Stonyford system, 55 of which are private residences and five are
allocated to the U.S. Forest Service.
Water is drawn from two local wells, one of which serves as a backup to
the primary well. The main well has a pumping capacity of 20 gpm, and
both the main well and the backup well are in generally good condition. A
75,000 gallon containment tank is located adjacent to the main well, and a
300,000 gallon storage tank is located south of Stonyford, near the landfill.
Water from the 300,000 gallon storage tank is conveyed from the tank to
the municipal distribution system via a system of 8-inch and 10-inch line
that feed into the 3-inch and 4-inch lines that connect directly to users. The
larger distribution lines are relatively new and are in good condition,
however, the smaller municipal conveyance lines are aging and in need of
repair and upgrade.

Although water for the Stonyford system is pumped from the ground via
wells, it has been determined by DWR and the Federal government that
the water pumped from the ground is hydro-geologically connected to
Stony Creek, and is therefore, classified as a surface water source. The
Stonyford water system is allocated up to 40 acre feet/year of water from
this source. The allocation between October 1 and May 31 is 30 ac/feet
and the allocation between June 1 and September 31 is 10 ac/ft.
The system has historically exceeded this allocation. However, once a
tiered pricing system for water use was implemented there have not been
exceedances of this allocation. The allocation of water to the Stonyford
system is administered by the Federal Water Master, based in Orland, CA.
New municipal hookups and the drilling of new wells require approval from
the Federal Water Master, and applications are reviewed on a case--by-
-case basis. In general, the current hookups use the majority of the annual
water allocation, and growth in the area is constrained by a lack of available
water. (Acevedo, 2019)178

Sandra Corbin 7/1/19-6/30/23
John Huttman, Jr. 8/6/19-8/5/23

9.2.4 District Website Requirement
Every California independent special district is required to maintain a website by January
1, 2020. Senate Bill 929 added Government Code sections 6270.6 and 53087.8 to
provide the public easily accessible and accurate information about the districts. The
requirements for the District website are as follows:
1) Contact Information
2) Current Agenda
3) Financial Transaction Reports (as sent to State Comptroller)
4) Compensation Reports (as sent to State Comptroller)
The Stonyford-Indian Valley Cemetery District does not have a website. The best
strategy would be for all the cemetery districts in Colusa County to work together to
provide information for a website that one cemetery district or Colusa County could
maintain for a small fee from each district.

10 WILLIAMS CEMETERY DISTRICT
10.1 Williams
Williams is described on the City of Williams website as follows:
Williams is a community of approximately 5,300 (2018) people located at
the crossroads of Interstate 5 and State Route 20, 60 miles north of
Sacramento and mid-way between the Sierras and the Pacific Coast.
Located in the heart of the Sacramento Valley, Williams is an agriculturally
oriented community. Rice, tomatoes, vine and seed crops, walnuts,
almonds, hay, grain, and cattle are raised in the area surrounding the city.
The average rain fall is 16 inches annually. Temperatures are moderate,
although on rare occasions the winter temperature may dip below freezing
and in the summer the temperature may reach 110 degrees.
Williams was founded in 1874 and was first known as Central. In 1876 it
was later renamed Williams to honor William Williams, who gave much of
the land for the town site. It was made a General Law City on May 20,
1920.197
The Median Household Income in Williams, California is $65,580 compared to $75,235
for the State of California as reported by the US Census Bureau.198 Eighty percent of the
State of California Median Household Income is $60,188. Therefore, the City of Williams
would not qualify as Disadvantaged. A detailed household income survey would provide
additional data.
According to the City of Williams General Plan Housing Element the City is expected to
grow to 6,077 by 2028.199
10.2 Williams Cemetery District
10.2.1 Williams Cemetery District History200
The Williams Cemetery District was approved by the Colusa County Board of Supervisors
on July 8, 1924, and was formed under the Public Cemetery Act of 1921, and the Health
and Safety Code of the State of California, paragraphs no. 8890-92225. The Cemetery
was originally opened in 1875.
10.2.2 Williams Cemetery District Facilities201
The Williams Cemetery is located south of Williams at 2438 Zumwalt Road, Williams. The
Cemetery has an area of ten acres divided into four groups: General, I.O.O.F., Masonic

and Catholic. The Cemetery is completely fenced and has gravel roadways and a sprinkler
system.
On August 18, 1997, the Cemetery District purchased ten acres of land (Parcel #016-320-
116-000) which is adjacent to the north boundary of the Cemetery for $65,362.44. In
2004-2005, seven acres of District land north of the Cemetery were purchased by
Kaufman and Co.; however, this property ended in default. In 2012, the District leased the
ten acre parcel to Les Reynolds, which was voided and the district is currently in year 6 of
a 10 year lease with Sandoval Farms who is going alfalfa on the property.
The District’s buildings include a tool shed, pump house, well, and pump. In 2004-2005,
the District constructed a restroom at a cost of $19,093. The District also purchased
equipment for funeral services including a green hard top chapel, chairs, a casket lowering
devise and a casket carriage. During the 2008-2009 fiscal year, the District completed the
construction of a combination shop, office, restroom structure at a cost of $21,440.
Major issues of concern and importance to the Williams Cemetery District are described
below.
Labor costs are the majority of the District’s budget. Due to government regulations
requiring the district to provide health insurance to full-time employees, we are faced with
keeping groundskeepers under thirty hours per week. It is difficult to maintain long-term
employees when we cannot offer full-time hours.
The district has 13 acres of lawn and over 3400 grave markers to be maintained but we
are a district that averages only 22 burials per year, so the percent of our budget from our
fees is on 25%, while 75% is from our tax revenues. The District stives to maintain a
balanced budget, keeping expenses within the scope of yearly revenues, payroll costs are
increasing at a faster rate than our revenues.
While the district strives hard to maintain a balanced budget, the district is facing a large
expense in the near future that it does not have the funds to pay for, that being
replacement of an old rusted irrigation system. The replacement of the irrigation system
is a major “elephant in the closet” for the district.

10.2.4 District Website Requirement
Every California independent special district is required to maintain a website by January
1, 2020. Senate Bill 929 added Government Code sections 6270.6 and 53087.8 to
provide the public easily accessible and accurate information about the districts. The
district passed a resolution on January 5th, 2022 exempting it from development of a
Website. The requirements in SB 929 are as follows:
1) Contact Information
2) Current Agenda
3) Financial Transaction Reports (as sent to State Comptroller)
4) Compensation Reports (as sent to State Comptroller)
The Williams Cemetery District should work together with other cemetery districts to
develop a website that could be used by several districts or partner with Colusa County
to have a page on that website.

APPENDIX A LOCAL GOVERNEMENT FUNDING ISSUES
1 Municipal Financial Constraints
Municipal service providers are constrained in their capacity to finance services by the
inability to increase property taxes, requirements for voter approval for new or increased
taxes, and requirements of voter approval for parcel taxes and assessments used to
finance services. Municipalities must obtain majority voter approval to increase or impose
new general taxes and two-thirds voter approval for special taxes.
Limitations on property tax rates and increases in taxable property values are financing
constraints. Property tax revenues are subject to a formulaic allocation and are vulnerable
to State budget needs. Agencies formed since the adoption of Proposition 13 in 1978
often lack adequate financing.
1.1 California Local Government Finance Background
The financial ability of the cities and special districts to provide services is affected by
financial constraints. City service providers rely on a variety of revenue sources to fund
city operating costs as follows:
• Property Taxes
• Benefit Assessments
• Special Taxes
• Proposition 172 Funds
• Other contributions from city or district general funds.
As a funding source, property taxes are constrained by statewide initiatives that have
been passed by voters over the years and special legislation. Seven of these measures
are explained below:
A. Proposition 13
Proposition 13 (which California voters approved in 1978) has the following three
impacts:
• Limits the ad valorem property tax rate
• Limits growth of the assessed value of property
• Requires voter approval of certain local taxes.
Generally, this measure fixes the ad valorem tax at one percent of value; except for taxes
to repay certain voter approved bonded indebtedness. In response to the adoption of
Proposition 13, the Legislature enacted Assembly Bill 8 (AB 8) in 1979 to establish
property tax allocation formulas.
B. AB 8
Generally, AB 8 allocates property tax revenue to the local agencies within each tax rate
area based on the proportion each agency received during the three fiscal years preceding
123
Colusa LAFCo
Colusa County Cemetery Districts MSR/SOI
adoption of Proposition 13. This allocation formula benefits local agencies, which had
relatively high tax rates at the time Proposition 13 was enacted.
C. Proposition 98
Proposition 98, which California voters approved in 1988, requires the State to maintain a
minimum level of school funding. In 1992 and 1993, the Legislature began shifting billions
of local property taxes to schools in response to State budget deficits. Local property taxes
were diverted from local governments into the Educational Revenue Augmentation Fund
(ERAF) and transferred to school districts and community college districts to reduce the
amount paid by the State general fund.
Local agencies throughout the State lost significant property tax revenue due to this shift.
Proposition 172 was enacted to help offset property tax revenue losses of cities and
counties that were shifted to the ERAF for schools in 1992.
D. Proposition 172
Proposition 172, enacted in 1993, provides the revenue of a half-cent sales tax to counties
and cities for public safety purposes, including police, fire, district attorneys, corrections
and lifeguards. Proposition 172 also requires cities and counties to continue providing
public safety funding at or above the amount provided in FY 92-93.
E. Proposition 218
Proposition 218, which California voters approved in 1996, requires voter- or property
owner-approval of increased local taxes, assessments, and property-related fees. A two-
thirds affirmative vote is required to impose a Special Tax, for example, a tax for a specific
purpose such as a fire district special tax.
However, majority voter approval is required for imposing or increasing general taxes such
as business license or utility taxes, which can be used for any governmental purpose.
These requirements do not apply to user fees, development impact fees and Mello-Roos
districts.
F. Mello-Roos Community Facilities Act
The Mello-Roos Community Facilities Act of 1982 allows any county, city, special district,
school district or joint powers authority to establish a Mello-Roos Community Facilities
District (a “CFD”) which allows for financing of public improvements and services. The
services and improvements that Mello-Roos CFDs can finance include streets, sewer
systems and other basic infrastructure, police protection, fire protection, ambulance
services, schools, parks, libraries, museums and other cultural facilities. By law, the CFD
is also entitled to recover expenses needed to form the CFD and administer the annual
special taxes and bonded debt.
A CFD is created by a sponsoring local government agency. The proposed district will
include all properties that will benefit from the improvements to be constructed or the
services to be provided. A CFD cannot be formed without a two-thirds majority vote of
residents living within the proposed boundaries. Or, if there are fewer than 12 residents,
the vote is instead conducted of current landowners.
124
Colusa LAFCo
Colusa County Cemetery Districts MSR/SOI
In many cases, that may be a single owner or developer. Once approved, a Special Tax
Lien is placed against each property in the CFD. Property owners then pay a Special Tax
each year.
If the project cost is high, municipal bonds will be sold by the CFD to provide the large
amount of money initially needed to build the improvements or fund the services. The
Special Tax cannot be directly based on the value of the property. Special Taxes instead
are based on mathematical formulas that take into account property characteristics such
as use of the property, square footage of the structure and lot size. The formula is defined
at the time of formation, and will include a maximum special tax amount and a percentage
maximum annual increase.
If bonds were issued by the CFD, special taxes will be charged annually until the bonds
are paid off in full. Often, after bonds are paid off, a CFD will continue to charge a reduced
fee to maintain the improvements.
G. Development Impact Fees
A county, cities, special districts, school districts, and private utilities may impose
development impact fees on new construction for purposes of defraying the cost of putting
in place public infrastructure and services to support new development.
To impose development impact fees, a jurisdiction must justify the fees as an offset to the
impact of future development on facilities. This usually requires a special financial study.
The fees must be committed within five years to the projects for which they were collected,
and the district, city or county must keep separate funds for each development impact fee.
1.2 Financing Opportunities that Require Voter Approval
Financing opportunities that require voter approval include the following five taxes:
1. Special taxes such as parcel taxes
2. Increases in general taxes such as utility taxes
3. Sales and use taxes
4. Business license taxes
5. Transient occupancy taxes
Communities may elect to form business improvement districts to finance supplemental
services, or Mello-Roos districts to finance development-related infrastructure extension.
Agencies may finance facilities with voter-approved (general obligation) bonded
indebtedness.
1.3 Financing Opportunities that Do Not Require Voter Approval
Financing opportunities that do not require voter approval include imposition of or
increases in fees to more fully recover the costs of providing services, including user fees
and Development Impact Fees to recover the actual cost of services provided and
infrastructure.
Development Impact Fees and user fees must be based on reasonable costs, and may
be imposed and increased without voter approval. Development Impact Fees may not be
used to subsidize operating costs. Agencies may also finance many types of facility
improvements through bond instruments that do not require voter approval.
125
Colusa LAFCo
Colusa County Cemetery Districts MSR/SOI
Water rates and rate structures are not subject to regulation by other agencies. Utility
providers may increase rates annually, and often do so. Generally, there is no voter
approval requirement for rate increases, although notification of utility users is required.
Water providers must maintain an enterprise fund for the respective utility separate from
other funds, and may not use revenues to finance unrelated governmental activities.
2 Public Management Standards
While public sector management standards do vary depending on the size and scope of
an organization, there are minimum standards. Well-managed organizations do the
following eight activities:
1. Evaluate employees annually.
2. Prepare a budget before the beginning of the fiscal year.
3. Conduct periodic financial audits to safeguard the public trust.
4. Maintain current financial records.
5. Periodically evaluate rates and fees.
6. Plan and budget for capital replacement needs.
7. Conduct advance planning for future growth.
8. Make best efforts to meet regulatory requirements.
Most of the professionally managed and staffed agencies implement many of these best
management practices. LAFCo encourages all local agencies to conduct timely financial
record-keeping for each city function and make financial information available to the
public.
3 Public Participation in Government
The Brown Act (California Government Code Section 54950 et seq.) is intended to insure
that public boards shall take their actions openly and that deliberations shall be conducted
openly.
The Brown Act establishes requirements for the following:
• Open meetings
• Agendas that describe the business to be conducted at the meeting
• Notice for meetings
• Meaningful opportunity for the public to comment
Few exceptions for meeting in closed sessions and reports of items discussed in closed
sessions.
According to California Government Section 54959:
Each member of a legislative body who attends a meeting of that
legislative body where action is taken in violation of any provision of this
chapter, and where the member intends to deprive the public of
information to which the member knows or has reason to know the public
is entitled under this chapter, is guilty of a misdemeanor.
126

Section 54960 states the following:
(a) The district attorney or any interested person may commence an
action by mandamus, injunction or declaratory relief for the purpose of
stopping or preventing violations or threatened violations of this chapter
by members of the legislative body of a local agency or to determine the
applicability of this chapter to actions or threatened future action of the
legislative body

DEFINITIONS
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA): A State Law requiring State and local
agencies to regulate activities with consideration for environmental protection. If a
proposed activity has the potential for a significant adverse environmental impact, an
environmental impact report (EIR) must be prepared and certified as to its adequacy
before taking action on the proposed project.
Community Facilities District: Under the Mello-Roos Community Facilities Act of 1982
(Section 53311, et seq.) a legislative body may create within its jurisdiction a special tax
district that can finance tax-exempt bonds for the planning, design, acquisition,
construction, and/or operation of public facilities, as well as public services for district
residents. Special taxes levied solely within the district are used to repay the bonds.
Impact Fee: A fee, also called a development fee, levied on the developer of a project by
a county, or other public agency as compensation for otherwise-unmitigated impacts the
project will produce. California Government Code Section 66000, et seq., specifies that
development fees shall not exceed the estimated reasonable cost of providing the service
for which the fee is charged. To lawfully impose a development fee, the public agency
must verify its method of calculation and document proper restrictions on use of the fund.
Infrastructure: Public services and facilities such as sewage-disposal systems, water-
supply systems, and other utility systems, schools and roads.
Land Use Classification: A system for classifying and designating the appropriate use
of properties.
Leapfrog Development: New development separated from existing development by
substantial vacant land.
Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCo): A five- or seven-member commission
within each county that reviews and evaluates all proposals for formation of special
districts, incorporation of cities, annexation to special districts or cities, consolidation of
districts, and merger of districts with cities. Each county’s LAFCo is empowered to
approve, disapprove, or conditionally approve such proposals. The LAFCo members
generally include two county supervisors, two city council members, and one member
representing the general public. Some LAFCos include two representatives of special
districts.
Mello-Roos Bonds: Locally issued bonds that are repaid by a special tax imposed on
property owners within a community facilities district established by a governmental entity.
The bond proceeds can be used for public improvements and for a limited number of
services. Mello-Roos Bonds are named after the program’s legislative authors.
Ordinance: A law or regulation set forth and adopted by a governmental authority.

Proposition 13: (Article XIIIA of the California Constitution) Passed in 1978, this
proposition enacted sweeping changes to the California property tax system. Under
Proposition 13, property taxes cannot exceed 1% of the value of the property and
assessed valuations cannot increase by more than 2% per year. Property is subject to
reassessment when there is a transfer of ownership or improvements are made.217
Proposition 218: (Article XIIID of the California Constitution) This proposition, named "The Right
to Vote on Taxes Act", filled some of the perceived loopholes of Proposition 13. Under Proposition
218, assessments may only increase with a two-thirds majority vote of the qualified voters within
the District. In addition to the two-thirds voter approval requirement, Proposition 218 states that
effective July 1, 1997, any assessments levied may not be more than the costs necessary to
provide the service, proceeds may not be used for any other purpose other than providing the
services intended, and assessments may only be levied for services that are immediately available
to property owners.218
Ranchette: A single dwelling unit occupied by a non-farming household on a parcel of 2.5 to 20
acres that has been subdivided from agricultural land.
Sphere of Influence (SOI): The probable physical boundaries and service area of a local
agency, as determined by the Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCO) of the county.
Urban: Of, relating to, characteristic of, or constituting a city. Urban areas are generally
characterized by moderate and higher density residential development (i.e., three or more dwelling
units per acre), commercial development, and industrial development, and the availability of public
services required for that development, specifically central water and sewer service, an extensive
road network, public transit, and other such services (e.g., safety and emergency response).
Development not providing such services may be “non-urban” or “rural”. CEQA defines “urbanized
area” as an area that has a population density of at least 1,000 persons per square mile (Public
Resources Code Section 21080.14(b)).
Urban Services: Utilities (such as water, gas, electricity, and sewer) and public services (such as
police, fire protection, schools, parks, and recreation) provided to an urbanized or urbanizing area.
