BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
appointed by the cities of Brentwood and Oakley and the County of Contra Costa on
October 27, 2009, Resolution 2009/940.
As mentioned in the October 27 board order, changing the governing structure of the
East Contra Costa Fire Protection District is a two-step process. The first step was
accomplished when the Board of Supervisors, the City Council of Brentwood
(Resolution 2009-211), and the City Council of Oakley (Resolution 142-09) consented to
the change at their October 27 meetings. (Attached are copies of the signed resolutions.)
The purpose of this board order is to fulfill the second-step of the process: the Board of
Supervisors, acting in its capacity as the Board of Directors gives authority to the new
Board of Directors appointed by the Cities of Brentwood and Oakley and the County.
The new governing structure will take effect 90 days after the adoption of Resolution
2009/527. It is anticipated that the cities and the County will make their appointments
within the month of December.
This change in the governing structure will not change the legal status of the East Contra
Costa Fire Protection District. The District is an independent public agency under the Fire
Protection District Law of 1987. A change in the governing structure will neither affect
any conditions of employment of any fire district employee nor any of the District's
assets, rights, or liabilities.
