Post Date ,  12:am
DescriptionThe Mission County Formation Review Commission is charged with completing a comprehensive assessment and report for the community regarding the impact of the proposed Santa Barbara County split on the region.

The Commission is comprised of two residents from the proposed new County, two residents from the affected County, and one member from outside both areas. The Commission will explore the fiscal impacts and economic viability of a split, make determinations, provide a forum for public input, propose new supervisorial districts and a new county seat along with other significant findings. The Commission will also determine the conditions for formation that will go on the ballot and apply should the voters choose to create a new County.

The Commission's purpose is for fact-finding and reporting only; it does not offer a recommendation for or against formation. Within 180 days of appointment by the Governor, the Commission will transmit its report in writing to the Santa Barbara County Board of Supervisors, or, upon the Governor's approval, the Commission may be granted an additional 180 days to submit its final report.
