(MSR) report for the Central County Region, of which Danville is a part; and
WHEREAS, On September 1, 2009 the Town Council passed Resolution No. 98-2009,
acknowledging receipt of the draft Sub-regional MSR and responding to Danville SOl

meeting and presented testimony to the Commission; and
WHEREAS, both Danville and the City of San Ramon have asked LAFCO to consider
amending their city SOl's to include all or portions of the Tassajara Valley; and
WHEREAS, the Tassajara Valley Area is located adjacent to Danville's current eastern
SOl, and any future planning related to the Tassajara Valley Area has the potential to
directly impact the Town; and

both cities, and asked the two agencies to meet with Supervisor Piepho to formulate a
coordinated SOl proposal with respect to the Tassajara Valley; and

Supervisor Piepho and have agreed to submit non-overlapping SOl proposals to
LAFCO with respect to portions of the Tassajara Valley; and
WHEREAS, the Town is currently updating the Danville 2010 General Plan and plans
to utilize the General Plan Update process as an opportunity to consider options for
expansion of the Town's SOl to the east, potentially including a portion of the Tassajara
Valley Area; and
WHEREAS, the Danville 2010 General Plan update and accompanying environmental
review would then serve as a basis for formally applying to LAFCO at a subsequent
date to adjust the Town SOl to the east, including an area of the Tassajara Valley; now,
therefore be it
RESOLVED, that the Danville Town Council authorizes sending a letter to LAFCO,
