EAST DIABLO FIRE PROTECTION DISTRICT BENEFIT ASSESSMENT CEDUR oU
SUBJECT;
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(_S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATION•
Consider the recission of resolution 87/90 which initiated action to
establish a Fire Suppression Benefit Assessment for the East Diablo Fire
Protection District.
BACKGROUND/REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION:
On February 24, 1987 , your Board adopted resolution 87/90, as well as,
resolutions for three other County fire protection districts to establish a
Fire Suppresion Benefit Assessment Procedure, which included the scheduling
of a public hearing on April 21, 1987 to determine whether or not the
proposed Benefit Assessments should be levied.
On March 17, 1987 , your Board received a letter from the Chairman of the
East Diablo Fire Protection District, which stated, in essence, that the
benefit assessment should not be established without an election. In view
of the letter, there was concern about proceeding with the process for East .
Diablo. Accordingly, Supervisor Torlakson, the Chief of East Diablo and
the County Administrator' s Office have discussed the possibility of
withdrawing East Diablo from the Benefit Assessment Procedure. Since the
issuance of the letter, the Chief of the East Diablo Fire Protection
District has worked with the members of the commission in an attempt to
satisfy the concerns about the Benefit Assessment Procedure.
As of this date, the Commission is still uneasy about the Benefit
Assessment Procedure. Accordingly, it was decided to present this issue to
your Board for a possible recission of the East Diablo enabling resolution.
The required notices to individual property owners regarding the Benefit
Assessment for East Diablo are being held (notices for the other three
districts have been mailed) , pending a determination on this matter on
April 7, 1987 . Prior to the Board meeting, Supervisor Torlakson, the East
Diablo Fire Chief and the County Administrator' s Office, will continue to
work towards the resolution of this matter. If on April 7 , 1987 it is
decided to continue the Benefit Assessment Procedure for East Diablo, it
will be necessary to continue the hearing scheduled for April 21, 1987 to
April 28, 1987 , to provide for the required amount of time between the
mailing of the notices and the date of the hearing.
