RECOMMENDATION(S):

RATIFY East Contra Costa Fire Protection District Ordinance No. 2019-02 with attached modifications, implementing the 2019 California Fire Code with local amendments in the unincorporated potion of the District's service area.

DIRECT the Clerk of the Board of Supervisors to provide a certified copy of this Board Order to the East Contra Costa Fire Protection District within 15 days of this ratification, pursuant to Health and Safety Code section 13869.7.

FISCAL IMPACT:

None

BACKGROUND:

The Board of Directors of the East Contra Costa Fire Protection District adopted Ordinance No. 2019-02, adopting the 2019 California Fire Code, with local amendments. The District requested that the Board of Supervisors ratify the District's adoption of the ordinance so that the District can implement the 2019 Fire Code, with local amendments, in the unincorporated portion of the District's service area. Ratification by the Board of Supervisors is required by State law for the District's code adoption ordinance to be effective in the unincorporated portion of the District's service area. This Board Order modifies the District's

ordinance by providing for the retention of the Board of Supervisor's discretion for final County approval of entitlements, completion of development improvements, and issuance of County stop work orders within the unincorporated area of the County.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If the Board of Supervisors does not approve the recommended actions, the East Contra Costa Fire Protection District will not be able to implement District Ordinance No. 2019-02 within the unincorporated portion of the District's service area.
