Raisin City Water District Municipal Service Review & Sphere of Influence Update

The project involves expanding the Raisin City Water District’s Sphere of Influence by 27,137 acres, bringing the total area to 107,262 acres, under the authority of the Fresno County Local Agency Formation Commission, which acts as the lead agency. The process centers on the review and formal adoption of a Municipal Service Review and updated Sphere of Influence boundaries as mandated by California Government Code sections 56425 and 56430, with all actions classified as ministerial and exempt from full environmental review under the California Environmental Quality Act through a Class 6 categorical exemption for information collection. The project is an administrative regulatory matter rather than a procurement contract, and no traditional contracting elements such as pricing, delivery schedules, performance metrics, or federal acquisition clauses are applicable; the sole financial obligations are one-time county documentary fees paid to the Fresno County Clerk’s Office. All required documents, including a filed Notice of Exemption, must be submitted in physical format to the Fresno County Clerk’s Office by the August 15, 2025 deadline, with additional copies directed to the Office of Planning and Research in Sacramento. The lead administrative contacts are Jessica Gibson, Analyst with Fresno LAFCO, and Cierra Loera, Deputy Clerk, who oversee the filing and approval process. No contractor is involved, as the action is entirely carried out by the public agency; no federal contracting mechanisms including FAR clauses, unique entity identifiers, socioeconomic certifications, or electronic invoicing systems are applicable or referenced.
