Making San Pedro its own city could be done. We have the leaders in town. And we have a lot more people than a ton of other cities. Heck, if we combined the Harbor corridor into one city and took the Port with us like Long Beach we could be formidable. Below is some information on what it would take for San Pedro to be its own city.
The Cortese-Knox-Hertzberg Act applies to municipal annexation, or when one municipality requests to expand its borders, as well as in municipal incorporation, which is the creation of an entirely new municipality. Starting The Process:
o When residents of a certain area within California containing 500 or more people wish to incorporate their own municipality, they can go through one of two steps. The first method is a resolution for city incorporation by a government body which currently oversees the area in some form or another, either a city, county or other district providing a certain service like schools or other infrastructure resources. The second method is a petition signed by 20 percent of the people within the area that wishes to be incorporated into a new municipality
For a town like San Pedro we are looking at about 16,000 signatures to make our own city. Throw in one feasibility study and you are done.
Something to think about as Los Angeles seems like a separate universe where they levy their will on this small town and set up regulations that complicate business development.
Just a guy from Pedro
