MAY ALSO APPLY FOR AND RECEIVE FEDERAL AND STATE AID FOR SUCH PURPOSES. 3 O.S. 65.13 (1981).
IT WOULD APPEAR THAT THE AUTHORITY OF ANY GOVERNMENTAL ENTITY CREATED BY A MUNICIPALITY PURSUANT TO 3 O.S. 65.7 WOULD BE LARGELY AFFECTED BY THE TENOR AND SUBSTANCE OF THE ORGANIZATIONAL RESOLUTION UPON WHICH ITS EXISTENCE IS BASED.
ACCORDINGLY, THIS OFFICE DOES NOT FEEL THAT IT CAN ISSUE A FORMAL OPINION THAT WOULD BE OF ANY GREAT DETERMINATIVE VALUE IN RESOLVING ANY GIVEN CONTROVERSY THAT MIGHT ARISE IN THIS AREA. SUCH A DETERMINATION WOULD ALMOST CERTAINLY REQUIRE AN EXAMINATION OF THE SPECIFIC DOCUMENTS INVOLVED, AND SUCH A FACTUAL DETERMINATION AND REVIEW BY THIS OFFICE IS PROHIBITED BY CURRENT STATE LAW, THESE MATTERS BEING DECLARED BY THE LEGISLATURE TO BE RIGHTLY WITHIN THE PROVINCE OF THE DISTRICT COURTS OF THE STATE. I AM GENERALLY AWARE THAT THERE IS A MATTER IN YOUR JURISDICTION THAT APPEARS TO BE REVOLVING AROUND THE TYPES OF QUESTIONS YOU RAISE, AND SINCERELY WISH THAT THIS OFFICE COULD BE OF MORE ASSISTANCE IN ATTEMPTING TO RESOLVE THE ISSUES AT HAND.
HOWEVER, IT IS THE OPINION OF THIS OFFICE THAT ANY FORMAL ADVICE TENDERED WOULD HAVE TO BE SO CONDITIONAL IN PRESENTATION, DUE TO THE NEED FOR A FACTUAL REVIEW OF THE CIRCUMSTANCES AT HAND, THAT ANY GENERAL STATEMENTS OF LA THAT WE MIGHT ATTEMPT TO PRESENT COULD SERVE ONLY TO CONFUSE THE MATER. INDEED, IT MIGHT EVEN BE NECESSARY TO REVIEW THE PAST CONDUCT OF THE PARTIES IN QUESTION AS TO THESE ISSUES BEFORE ANY RESOLUTION COULD BE REACHED OF YOUR QUESTIONS. ACCORDINGLY, THE ATTORNEY GENERAL HAS DETERMINED THAT THIS OFFICE CANNOT ISSUE A FORMAL OPINION IN RESPONSE TO YOUR INQUIRIES.
IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT THIS LETTER, OR THE REASONS UNDERLYING OUR DECLINATION TO ISSUE A FORMAL OPINION, PLEASE FEEL FREE TO CALL ME AT YOUR CONVENIENCE.
