Rossmoor annexation debates

According to a June 2006 consultant's report to the Rossmoor Planning Committee, the most cost effective solution for Rossmoor would be to be annexed by the city of Seal Beach. [1]

Although it is not part of the city of Los Alamitos, it is served under the Los Alamitos "sphere of influence" and is expected to be annexed to the city by 2007 after the Local Agency Formation Commission reviews the proposal. [2] However it is 2008 and no decision has been made.

Another proposal would combine Rossmoor with adjacent Seal Beach and Los Alamitos to form one city. Seal Beach is a city in Orange County California. The population was 24157 at the 2000 census Los Alamitos ( "The Little Cottonwoods" in Spanish) can mean Los Alamitos California, a city in Orange County California [3]

The city is also served by the Rossmoor Community Services District, which serves the community as an independent city hall would, and provides services like landscpe upkeep, city and road maintenance, and performing the general day-to-day upkeep of the community. However, the council lacks any central government, authority to the California State Government, and cannot make decisions about the future of the community, which is all delegated to the County of Orange's Unincorporated Islands Program.
