Public Policy - San Francisco, California, United States
Every county in California is required by state law to have a Local Agency Formation Commission, and in San Francisco, our LAFCo is a little unique. It was formed to create a municipal utility district, and wound up being instrumental in getting CleanPowerSF off the ground. CleanPowerSF is our community choice energy program.Besides studying and approving the local boundaries of special districts, LAFCos have "special studies" authority. The LAFCO is currently leading a labor study on emerging mobility services, in a partnership with the San Francisco County Transportation Authority.
