ActiveLCF

ActiveLCF is officially live! ActiveLCF, a new interactive recreation software, allows users to access a simplified reservation system for parks, athletic fields and facilities. The new software also allows City staff to quickly access and review digital permits.

With ActiveLCF, both parties can easily check permit statuses and access required documents. It also gives City staff the ability to leave comments for applicants to view and respond.

Individuals or groups seeking use of the City’s recreational facilities that require reservations and permits will need to submit requests through ActiveLCF.

CSCDA PACE Program

The LCF City Council approved a resolution establishing a partnership with the California Statewide Communities Development Authority (CSCDA) to launch the new Property Assessed Clean Energy (PACE) Program.

The PACE program empowers residents and businesses to make energy-efficient upgrades to create a greener and more sustainable future. Residents can choose from three PACE program administrators for residential projects. Notably, the program operates without utilizing taxpayer dollars or staff obligations, as transactions occur solely between PACE administrators and property owners.
