FROM: Phil Batchelor �� County
`
County Administrator
DATE: July 10, 1989
SUBJECT: Byron Fire Protection District Retirement
System Membership
Specific Request(s) or Recommendations(s) & Background & Justification
RECOMHIIIDATION:
Authorize the County Administrator and Personnel Director to investigate the
feasibility of membership for the Byron Fire Protection District in the Contra Costa
County Employees' Retirement Association and to arrange for the inclusion of the
District in the retirement system.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
Membership in the Contra Costa County Retirement Association may result in increased
district cost related to the employer's share of membership costs for eligible
district employees that join the system.
REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION/BACKGROUND:
Nick Papadakos, Chief of the Byron Fire Protection District has proposed that the
Byron Fire Protection District be admitted to the County Retirement Association and
that the position of fire chief be determined as eligible for participation in the
retirement system. The Byron Fire Commission previously had made inquiries about the
District joining the system.
The Chief of the Byron District has stated his intent to retire as chief of the
District within a period of one to three years. The Chief is interested in joining
the retirement _system to obtain retirement benefits upon retirement from County
service. Retirement in the timeframe of one to three years requires that the Chief be
given credit for his prior years of service to the District. Accordingly, it is
proposed that the County Administrator be authorized to determine criteria for
retirement system eligibility and recognition of prior years of service time, to
determine eventual retirement benefits.

In preparation for the Chief's retirement it is proposed that the Board approve a plan
for dealing with the vacancy caused by the Chief's retirement. It is recommended that
upon the retirement of Chief Papadakos your Board appoint East Diablo Fire District
Chief, Paul Hein, as Acting Chief of the Byron Fire Protection District. Under this
proposal, Chief Hein would act as Chief of the Byron District to allow a period of
time to study alternate organizational arrangements such as appointing a new chief or
the possible consolidation with the East Diablo Fire Protection District.
In the interest of providing a smooth transition upon the retirement of Chief
Papadakos, it is further proposed that Chief Hein become involved in Byron Fire
Protection District matters that may have long-range implications for the District,
such as development in the District and water supply issues in Discovery Bay.
