Our Committee met with representatives from the Community Development Department and most of the Fire Districts on October 28. A meeting has been held between Community Development and the Fire Districts. Substantial agreement has been reached regarding the needs of the Fire Districts and ways to meet those needs. Further meetings will be set up by Community Development with the Public Works and Building Inspection Departments to discuss issues reflected in the above recommendations. It is important that the Building Inspection Department not issue a building permit until it has been approved by the appropriate fire district. Our Committee continues to be concerned that meetings between the Board of Supervisors and the Fire Districts have not yet been scheduled. We believe the Board has taken a number of significant actions regarding the Fire Districts during the past year, and that major other items are receiving substantial attention from the Board. These, and related items, need to be discussed with the Fire Districts, and we are, therefore, asking that the first of the meetings we asked be set up with the Fire Districts be scheduled before the end of December. It appears that good progress is being made on the review of development applications, and there is no longer any need for this matter to remain on referral to our Committee.
