Size and Composition of the Board of Fire oirty
SUBJECT: Commissioners for the Contra Costa County
Consolidated Fire District
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATIONS:
1 . Reaffirm the Board' s support for a five-member Board of Fire
Commissioners.
2 . Adopt the attached Resolution which continues a five-member
Commission, with four of the seats to be held by the four
cities in the District with the highest assessed valuation
and which leaves one At-Large seat for appointment by the
Board.
3 . Reaffirm the Board' s intent to appoint to the current
vacancy on the Commission a representative nominated by the
Martinez City Council.
BACKGROUND:
On March 25, 1986, the Board referred to our Committee the issue
of the size and composition of the Board of Fire Commissioners
for Consolidated Fire District. There had been some confusion
regarding the intent of our Committee' s previous recommendation.
Our Committee met with .Chief Maxfield on April 28 . Our Committee
believes that a five-member Commission is appropriate for the
Fire District and the current system of having the four cities
with the highest assessed valuation have permanent seats on the
Commission has worked well and should be continued.
Our Committee also wishes to reaffirm the Board' s previous intent
to appoint to the fifth seat a representative nominated by the
Martinez City Council.
