On October 27, 2009, the Board of Supervisors (BOS) adopted Resolution No. 2009/940 consenting to a change in the governing structure of the East Contra Costa Fire Protection District (ECCFPD) from a board of directors comprised of the Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors to a board of directors appointed by the cities of Brentwood and Oakley and the County. The new governing structure consists of nine directors; four from the City of Brentwood, three from the City of Oakley, and two appointed by the Board of Supervisors.
On September 27, 2011, the Board of Supervisors declared vacant the seat held by Director John Jewell after receiving a letter of resignation and directed the Clerk of the Board to post the vacancy. On October 25th, the Internal Operations Committee interviewed applicants to fill the vacancy and nominated Cheryl Morgan for appointment by the Board of Supervisors.
Today's action would appoint Cheryl Morgan to the ECCFPD Board for the remainder of the seat term ending February 4, 2014.
The seat will remain vacant resulting in reduced representation of the County on the ECCFPD Board.
