COLUSA LAFCO
City of Williams SOI, Resolution 2014-0002
Adopted MARCH 6, 2014
INTRODUCTION
1.1 Sphere of Influence Requirements
In determining the Sphere of Influence for each local agency, LAFCO must consider and
prepare a statement of determinations with respect to each of the following:
1. The present and planned land uses in the area, including agricultural and open
space lands
2. The present and probable need for public facilities and services in the area
3. The present capacity of public facilities and adequacy of public services which
the agency provides, or is authorized to provide
4. The existence of any social or economic communities of interest in the area if the
commission determines that they are relevant to the agency
5. For an update of a sphere of influence 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 (DUC) within
the existing Sphere of Influence.
1.2 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:
The sphere for a city or special district that is the same as its existing boundaries.
2) Annexable Sphere:
A sphere larger than the agency’s boundaries identifies areas the agency is expected to
annex. The annexable area is outside its boundaries and inside the sphere. Previous
annexations to the City of Williams are shown on Map 1 at the end of this report.
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.
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:
1
COLUSA LAFCO
City of Williams SOI, Resolution 2014-0002
Adopted MARCH 6, 2014
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.
This type of SOI is generally adopted when the following four 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, and
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.
7) Sphere Planning Area:
LAFCO may choose to designate a sphere planning area to signal that it anticipates
expanding an agency’s SOI in the future to include territory not yet within its official SOI.
1.3 SOI Amendments and CEQA
LAFCO has the discretion to limit SOI updates to those that it may process without
unnecessarily delaying the SOI update process or without requiring its funding agencies
to bear the costs of environmental studies associated with SOI expansions. Any local
agency or individual may file a request for an SOI amendment. The request must state
the nature of and reasons for the proposed amendment, and provide a map depicting
the proposal.
LAFCO may require the requester to pay a fee to cover LAFCO costs, including the
costs of appropriate environmental review under CEQA. LAFCO may elect to serve as
lead agency for such a review, may designate the proposing agency as lead agency, or
both the local agency and LAFCO may serve as co-lead agencies for purposes of an
SOI amendment. Local agencies are encouraged to consult with LAFCO staff early in
the process regarding the most appropriate approach for the particular SOI amendment
under consideration.
2
COLUSA LAFCO
City of Williams SOI, Resolution 2014-0002
Adopted MARCH 6, 2014
Certain types of SOI amendments are usually exempt from CEQA review. Examples are
SOI expansions that include territory already within the bounds or service area of an
agency, SOI reductions, and zero SOIs. SOI expansions for limited purpose agencies
that provide services (e.g., fire protection, levee protection, cemetery, and resource
conservation) needed by both rural and urban areas are typically not considered growth-
inducing and are likely exempt from CEQA. Similarly, SOI expansions for districts
serving rural areas (e.g., irrigation water) are typically not considered growth-inducing.
Remy et al. write
In City of Agoura Hills v. Local Agency Formation Commission (2d Dist.1988) 198
Cal.App.3d480, 493-496 [243 Cal.Rptr.740] (City of Agoura Hills), the court held that a
LAFCO’s decision to approve a city’s sphere of influence that in most respects was
coterminous with the city’s existing municipal boundaries was not a “project” because
such action did not entail any potential effects on the physical environment.1
The City of Williams prepared and certified an Environmental Impact Report for its
General Plan adopted in 2012. The recommended approach for LAFCo will be to affirm
the findings and content of the City’s Environmental Impact Report.
1.4 SOI Alternatives for City of Williams
1.4.1 Coterminous Sphere
A Coterminous Sphere would mean that the boundary of the City of Williams would stay
exactly the same as it is now for at least five years or until the Sphere of Influence could
be amended. This would not allow the City any flexibility in case an annexation were
needed. The City could be required to provide wastewater treatment or water service to
land outside the City and would want to annex the subject parcels. The City may have a
chance to annex a new business. Therefore, a Coterminous Sphere is not
recommended.
1.4.2 Detachable Sphere
A Detachable Sphere would be smaller than the existing City boundary and would mean
that the City would be expected to detach land in the near future. This is unlikely
because most of the land within the City is probably considered to be more valuable
within the City limits. Also, since the property taxes are determined by the sale price of
the land due to Proposition 13, there would be no financial incentive for land to be
detached from the City. Therefore a Detachable Sphere is not recommended.
1.4.3 Zero Sphere
A Zero Sphere would mean that the City should be unincorporated and that another
agency such as the County of Colusa would take over the functions of the City. It could
be argued for a County as small as Colusa (2012 County population 21,4112) that one
government should be sufficient rather than a county and two cities. However, it would

COLUSA LAFCO
City of Williams SOI, Resolution 2014-0002
Adopted MARCH 6, 2014
not be good to recommend a Zero Sphere for the City of Williams unless the same thing
were also recommended for the City of Colusa. Colusa LAFCO has previously adopted
an Annexable Sphere for the City of Colusa.
1.4.4 Annexable Sphere
An Annexable Sphere is recommended for the City of Williams as shown in Map 2 at the
end of this report. This will provide the City with ability to annex land if needed. The past
annexation history for the City of Williams is shown in Appendix A at the end of this
report. Map 2 shows the Sphere of Influence, which is slightly larger than the existing
city boundary.
Since the City’s General Plan EIR analyzed the territory within the recommended Sphere
of Influence no additional environmental review should be required. The total SOI area
includes approximately 4,503 acres but this is divided between 3,219± acres within the
City limits and1,284± acres within the SOI but not within the City limits. The annexable
area would include the territory shown in Figure 2 (Williams City Limits and Sphere of
Influence). Therefore, this is the recommended Sphere option for the City of Williams.
The determinations presented below are prepared for the Annexable Sphere of Influence
proposed by Colusa LAFCO.

COLUSA LAFCO
City of Williams SOI, Resolution 2014-0002
Adopted MARCH 6, 2014
2 SPHERE OF INFLUENCE (SOI) DETERMINATIONS FOR CITY OF WILLIAMS
2.1 Present and Planned Land Uses in the Williams Area, Including Agricultural
and Open Space Lands
2.1.1 Colusa County General Plan
The Colusa County General Plan Land Use Designations around the City of Williams are
shown on Map 3 at the end of this report. Most of the land around the City of Williams is
designated for Agricultural use in the City General Plan and for Commercial, Urban
Residential and Industrial in the County General Plan. The Sphere of Influence should
not extend into land designated as Williamson Act unless the land is under non-renewal
status.
2.1.2 SOI Determinations on Present and Planned Land Use for City of Williams
1-1] The proposed SOI is compatible with the Colusa County General Plan. Urban
Development should occur within the City whenever possible.
1-2] The proposed SOI is compatible with the City of Williams General Plan in light of
inconsistencies with the County General Plan and the expansion was analyzed in
the City General Plan EIR.
1-3] Prior to the annexation of additional lands into the city, for territory meeting
LAFCo’s definition of prime agricultural lands, the City shall require agricultural
land mitigation agreements through the purchase of agricultural easements in
Colusa County having a 1 to 2-acre conversion ratio on lands having equal
agricultural value and risk of conversion as the lands proposed to be converted
from agricultural to urban uses.
1-4] LAFCo will work with the City to develop a farmland conversion mitigation
program including farmland conservation easements to mitigate the conversion
of prime farmland.
1-5] The LAFCo review process will include a project-specific assessment of the loss
of prime farmland and determine appropriate mitigation measures (type and
amount). LAFCo will consider the City’s adopted policies and programs that
provide for mitigating the loss of prime farmland within its General Plan planning
area.
1-6] LAFCo has considered the presence of contracted Williamson Act lands of which
all contracted Williamson Act lands within the City’s Sphere of influence are
under non-renewal status.

COLUSA LAFCO
City of Williams SOI, Resolution 2014-0002
Adopted MARCH 6, 2014
2.2 Municipal Services—Present and Probable Capacity and Need
2.2.1 Present and Probable Capacity and Need Background
There is a need for all of the City of Williams services provided. The City has adequate
capacity to serve the residents of the City and foreseeable population growth. The City
recently upgraded the wastewater treatment plant. The residents of the City again voted
to have a half-cent sales tax for the benefit of the City of Williams.
2.2.2 SOI Determinations on Present and Probable Capacity and Need for
City of Williams
2-1] There is a need for the City of Williams and for all of the services that the City
provides.
2-2] The City of Williams has adequate capacity with staff and infrastructure to
provide services to the residents of the City now and in the future.
2.3 The Present Capacity of Public Facilities and Adequacy of Public
Services Provided by City of Williams
2.3.1 Adequacy of Services Provided by City of Williams
The services provided by the City of Williams are adequate and meet the State
requirements for water and wastewater treatment.
2.3.2 SOI Determinations on Adequacy of Services Provided by City of Williams
3-1] The services provided by the City of Williams are adequate for the present and
future residents.
3-2] The water service meets the State requirements.
3-3] The wastewater treatment plant has been upgraded to meet the State
requirements.
2.4 Social or Economic Communities of Interest
2.4.1 City of Williams Community Background
The City of Williams is a separate community and has a history and sense of identity
separate from other communities within Colusa County. The City includes social groups,
6
COLUSA LAFCO
City of Williams SOI, Resolution 2014-0002
Adopted MARCH 6, 2014
religious groups, and commercial services in addition to the government facilities and
services.
2.4.2 SOI Determinations on Social or Economic Communities of Interest for
City of Williams
4-1] The City of Williams is both a social and an economic community.
4-2] The services provided by the City of Williams are essential to allow the residents
to live in health and safety and to carry on business.
2.5 Disadvantaged Unincorporated Community Status
2.5.1 Disadvantaged Unincorporated Communities
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. The median household
income for California is $61,632. Eighty Percent of the Statewide Annual Median is
$49,096.3
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.
In determining spheres of influence, SB 244 authorizes LAFCO to assess the feasibility
of and recommend reorganization and consolidation of local agencies to further orderly
development and improve the efficiency and affordability of infrastructure and service
delivery.

2.5.2 City of Williams and Disadvantaged Unincorporated Community Status
5-1] The City of Williams Median Household Income is $47,9344 ,which is less than
80% of the Statewide Median Household Income ($49,306) so the entire City
could be considered as a disadvantaged community. However, the City is an
incorporated community.
5-2] There is no data available to show that there are Disadvantaged Unincorporated
Communities adjacent to the City of Williams that could benefit by being annexed
to the City. Prior to future annexations documentation as to the presence of
Disadvantaged Unincorporated Communities adjacent to or nearby an
annexation proposal shall be submitted to LAFCo for its evaluation and possible
action.
