What would the valley do for police, fire & other public services?
If the Valley becomes a separate city, the Valley has the option to create its own Police and Fire Departments or to contract with the City, County, or private businesses for these and other services. Valley leaders will work with LAFCO to explore the Valley’s options and to ensure that Valley communities receive the best public services in the most cost-effective manner. It is widely believed that the Valley’s strong economic base can provide increased police, fire, and other public services without any increase in costs and possibly while lowering taxes. Significant research has been done showing that smaller cities are more cost-efficient and provide better public services. Detailed information on the delivery of public services will be made available to Valley residents before they are asked to vote on Valley Cityhood.
