EL CENTRO — The City of El Centro's request for an injunction against the Imperial County Local Agency Formation Commission was denied after a hearing in the Imperial County Superior Court on September 14, in a press statement just released by LAFCO . The City of El Centro filed a lawsuit against LAFCO this summer seeking to prevent it from processing an application by Pioneers Memorial Healthcare District to expand the district to encompass the entire County of Imperial. As part of that lawsuit, El Centro sought a preliminary injunction to stop the Pioneers application from going forward, alleging that LAFCO had violated the California Environmental Quality Act, a state law concerned with environmental effects of a project.
