FROM: INTERNAL OPERATIONS COMMITTEE
40 Costa
DATE: October 28, 1985 County
SUBJECT: Status Report on Five-Year Fire District Programs
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) & BACKGROUNDAND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATIONS:
1 . Authorize the Internal Operations Committee to act on behalf
of the Board of Supervisors to approve, or modify and
approve, requests to the cities for actions necessary to
insure the fiscal integrity of the Fire Districts, subject
to reporting their actions promptly to the Board of
Supervisors.
2 . Leave this item on referral to our Committee.
BACKGROUND:
On October 28, 1985, we received a status report from Bob Nyman,
Consultant to the County Administrator, on Fire District capital
needs, methods of financing them and implementation of the
Districts ' Five-Year Plans. Mr. Nyman reported that he has met
with nearly every district and plans and recommendations are
nearly complete. Reports will begin to become available within
the next few weeks. These reports will detail the actions
necessary to meet the capital and operational needs of the
Districts over the next several years. A variety of funding
mechanisms will be suggested tailored to the size, needs, and
growth patterns of each district. It will be important that Mr.
Nyman be given explicit approval to share his recommendations
with the cities in each Fire District so as to officially open a
dialogue between the County and each city.
In order to accomplish this in the most expeditious manner
possible, it appears wise to ask the Board to delegate to our
Committee the authority to act on the Board' s behalf in
authorizing formal contact with each city. Our Committee will
report each such authorization to the Board immediately
thereafter.
As Board policy issues are formulated from this review of
individual district plans, these will also be brought to the
attention of the Board of Supervisors.
