RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE the revised bylaws of the Advisory Fire Commission of the Contra Costa County Fire Protection District to clarify the creation of committees as deemed necessary by the Commission Chair. (No fiscal impact).

FISCAL IMPACT:

No fiscal impact.

BACKGROUND:

In 1995, the Board of Supervisors adopted Resolution No. 95/475 delegating a broad range of its board of directors functions and responsibilities to advisory fire commissions of the, then, six dependent fire protection districts within the county. Through consolidation and dissolution, only two of the six county fire districts remain: Contra Costa and Crockett-Carquinez. In 1999, the Board adopted Resolution No. 99/138 updating the delegation of powers to the Contra Costa County Fire Protection District (CCCFPD) Advisory Fire Commission.  

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
  
On July 12, 2022, following the annexation of East Contra Costa Fire Protection District (ECCFPD) to the CCCFPD, the Board of Directors adopted Resolution 2022/9, which updated the CCCFPD Advisory Fire Commission role and responsibilities to provide clarity and proper focus of the Commission's time and energy towards duties that will complement rather than duplicate the functions of the Board of Directors. The Board adopted the following revised delegation of duties to the AFC as reconstituted pursuant to the annexation agreement: "The functions of the fire commissioners are to review the goals and objectives of the District; provide liaison with the community, and provide advice and information on fire protection matters to the Board of Directors. This Board hereby delegates to the CCCFPD Advisory Fire Commission the following powers and responsibilities:  
  
a. Pursuant to district ordinance, to serve as the Appeals Board on weed abatement matters;  
b. To review and make recommendations on Fire District goals and objectives;  
c. To provide advice and information to the Board of Directors on fire protection matters as needed;  
d. To serve as liaison between the Board of Directors and the community served by the district;  
e. To perform such other duties and responsibilities as may be assigned and as directed by the Board of Directors."
Today's action will make a minor modification the clarify the creation of committees to the Commission, as deemed needed by the Commission Chair from time to time based on the work of the Commission. Attached is a redline showing the proposed changes and also a clean version showing no edit marks.
