DESCRIPTION:On January 9, 2013, the Commission decided to include in every agenda a 
 status report on the North Campus applications in order to be able to set 
 the next public hearing date on the applications to extend water service to 
 the Upper Campus of UC Santa Cruz.\n\nFor additional information, please 
 contact the LAFCO staff at (831) 
 454-2055.\nhttp://santacruzlafco.org/\n\nSave Upper Campus writes:\n\n"Here 
 are the latest updates regarding LAFCO & the Upper Campus water service 
 extensions:\n\n"1) On December 21, the Court of Appeal vacated its former 
 decision that had invalidated the city/university's EIR. This was in 
 response to the city/university's petition for a re-hearing. That means the 
 EIR is now valid again, until and unless the court re-affirms their 
 previous decision at the new hearing.\n\n"2) At the January 9th LAFCO 
 meeting, UCSC officially asked the Commission to put its Upper Campus 
 applications back on the agenda. LAFCO will be considering this request at 
 their next meeting (February). This means that the public hearing process 
 re: Upper Campus could resume as soon as March or April.\n\n"Both of these 
 are inauspicious developments. The university is, of course, pushing hard 
 to ram through the EIR, get their permits, and clear the path for future 
 construction projects in Upper Campus--regardless of the environmental and 
 social consequences of doing so.\n\n"For more clarity, here is an excerpt 
 from a January 8, 2013 letter to LAFCO from Kelly Drumm, Senior Counsel for 
 the Regents of the University of California:\n\n"On December 21, 2012, the 
 Court of Appeal in Habitat and Watershed Caretakers v. City of Santa Cruz 
 et al., granted the petition for rehearing filed by the City and University 
 and vacated its published decision. As long as litigation is still pending, 
 LAFCO is required as a matter of law to assume that the EIR complies with 
 CEQA…Accordingly, the reason stated in LAFCO's January 2, 2013 staff 
 report for not moving forward with the Project no longer exists."\n\n\nFor
