Meetings

Public Involvement

The public is encouraged to participate in the LAFCo decision making process. Verbal testimony at our public hearings and correspondence concerning matters within the Commission’s jurisdiction are welcome. In addition, the meetings provide an excellent opportunity for the public to familiarize themselves with the growth, development, and inter-jurisdictional issues facing their county.

Commission meetings may be live-streamed and recorded and are available on the Mendocino County YouTube channel.
