0 c. What are the alternative courses of action?

Alternative courses of Action might include the following:

1. Do nothing to change the status quo. Remain an unin-

[] corporated area of the county.

2. Attempt to form a Municipal Advisory Committee.

[] Although the committee would be strictly advisory in nature, it at

least could have members elected at large and thus be more repre-
sentative of citizen interests.

3. Urge the appointment of Planning Advisory Committee
members by an objective non-political body seek diverse

representation.
4. Wait until the population exceeds the five per cent of

Los Angeles County's population now required by law for the forma-

tion of a new county.

s. Stimulate interest on the part of Ventura County to

annex the area.

6. Form several cities within the Santa Clarita valley,

thus eliminating the prospect of a comprehensive planning effort

for the valley as a whole.

In summation, there is no reasonable alternative course of

action. More than one hundred thousand people who live in one

identifiable valley need to have a voice in governing their own

affairs.
