Sphere of Influence
* Attention Local Agency Formation Commission members:
The dictionary defines “contiguous” as “adjoining, adjacent, touching.” No way can Adams Canyon be considered contiguous to Santa Paula, with or without the recent sphere of influence adjustment.
A black line on a flat map avoids the truth. There is a mountain between the city and the canyon, for heaven’s sake! Santa Paula’s takeover of Adams’ 5,413 acres would be a giant leap over a high ridge with an accompanying mound of expenses for Santa Paulans.
It’s time to examine a three-dimensional topographical map and stop playing leapfrog!
