LAFCO Staff Salary Adjustments

A market study found most LAFCO staff salaries below comparable agencies, so the commission updated pay ranges for seven positions to recruit and retain staff. Actual raises need county sign-off in November.

What it means: Updated ranges will affect LAFCO's budget, with final salary changes pending Board of Supervisors action November 17.

Norco Bluff Street islands annexation (LAFCO 2026-05-2)

Two uninhabited islands totaling 56 acres near Bluff Street would annex into Norco and detach from the county waste district. A decision is expected around March.

What it means: The City of Norco and affected landowners if the annexation proceeds.

public meetings

The commission considered changing when it meets each month — a scheduling change that affects when residents can attend and comment.

What it means: Commissioners and members of the public if a more accessible meeting time is chosen.

Calimesa Golden Triangle boundary changes (LAFCO 2026-06-5 and 2026-07-5)

Calimesa wants to annex about 313 acres in Cherry Valley, but Beaumont and its water district say the land south of Cherry Valley Boulevard should go to Beaumont instead. Both sides showed up early to make their case before the items return next spring.

What it means: The Shopoff Group's north-of-boulevard property faces no opposition going to Calimesa; residents could see changes in which city and districts serve them.
