SUBJECT: RESOLUTION OF APPLICATION FOR THE ANNEXATION OF THE
BYRON FIRE PROTECTION DISTRICT TO THE EAST DIABLO FIRE
PROTECTION DISTRICT AND THE CONCURRENT DISSOLUTION OF THE
BYRON FIRE PROTECTION DISTRICT
Specific Request(s) or Recommendations(s) & Background & Justification
RECOMMENDATIONS:
1. Adopt Resolution of Application to the Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCO)
for a reorganization consisting of the annexation of the territory'of the Byron
Fire Protection District to the East Diablo Fire Protection District and the
concurrent dissolution of the Byron Fire Protection District.
2. Approve implementation plan to accomplish the above reorganization.
REASONS FOR RECaKKENDATIONS/BACKGROUND:
In March 1991, your Board approved the proposed reorganization and referred it to the
County Administrator and County Counsel for preparation of the application to LAFCO.
The required Resolution of Application has been prepared by County Counsel for your
adoption. The Resolution of Application proposes certain conditions regarding
equipment, property, fire commissioners, employees and volunteers. The conditions
.regarding equipment and property are more or less standard for reorganizations of this
kind. Basically, the East Diablo Fire Protection District as successor agency will
acquire title to all real and personal property of the Byron Fire Protection District.
It is proposed that the East Diablo Board of Fire Commissioners be expanded from five
(5) members to seven (7) members by eliminating the current vacancy on the East Diablo
Board of Commissioners and adding the three seats that are currently filled on the
Byron Fire Commission. This would result in a seven member commission representing
specific areas of the district- as follows:
2 Brentwood area
1 Morgan Territory/Marsh Creek area
1 Rural/Agricultural area
2 Discovery Bay area
1 Byron

East Diablo Fire Protection District Chief Paul Hein has discussed the proposed
composition of the commission with the commissioners of the two districts. The
commissioners of both districts are in agreement with this plan.
Employees of the Byron Fire District that will be directly impacted are the Chief and
the Assistant Chief. The affected employees are in agreement with the proposed
personnel changes. Under the proposal, Byron Fire Chief Nick Papadakos will become an
Assistant Chief of the East Diablo Fire District.at his current salary level.
Assistant Chief Greg Frates will become a Battalion Chief at a reduced salary level
equal to the salary level of the two current Byron Fire Battalion Chief positions.
East Diablo Fire currently has one Battalion Chief position which is paid at a lower
rate than the current Byron Fire Battalion Chiefs. Accordingly, it is proposed to
increase the salary of the East Diablo Fire Battalion Chief to the present Byron Fire
Battalion Chief :Level.
The proposal. regarding Battalion Chiefs is appropriate because all four positions will
have similar duties and responsibilities after the reorganization.
All other volunteer positions of the Byron Fire District will be merged into
comparable positions in the East Diablo Fire District staffing structure.
It is proposed that the reorganization become effective upon completion of the LAFCO
process.
