Text

The Legislature finds and declares that the County of Sacramento, due to the small number of incorporated cities within the county, the large unincorporated urban area of the county, the comparative compactness and physical uniformity of the county, and the absence of competing municipal interests, is uniquely suited for a program of local government reorganization to be voted on by the electorate of the county.
The Legislature further finds and declares that the County of Sacramento contains over 127 separate governmental entities, including special districts, which often perform duplicatory or specialized functions and which proliferate taxing and spending agencies of government, and diffuse responsibility for programs and actions in response to urban problems of the county.
