| Reason for Recommended Action/Background |
At the December 17, 2019 Board meeting, the Board adopted a resolution approving the establishment of the Springlake Fire Protection District (District) as a dependent district governed by the Yolo County Board of Supervisors. This reorganization was approved by LAFCo on May 28, 2020 and took effect on June 1, 2020. Per Health and Safety Code Section 13844, the County Board of Supervisors may delegate any or all of its powers to a five or seven-person fire commission. To maintain local control and reduce the administrative burden of operating the District, staff is recommending the creation of a five-person fire commission which would be authorized to take the necessary fiscal and administrative actions to operate the District (Att. A).
Per the resolution, members would serve staggered initial terms of two (two seats) or four years (three seats), to be determined by drawing straws or by the expressed preference of the appointees. After completion of the initial two-year terms, all Commission member terms shall be four-year terms. Initial appointments and any vacancies shall be filled only after compliance with the Maddy Act. Members of the District’s Board of Directors at the time of the Commission’s adoption of the Conducting Authority resolution may be appointed to seats on the new Fire Commission without the need to formally apply, subject to the Board of Supervisors’ review of any additional applications received. Commissioners must be residents of the District.
Following Board approval, staff will notice the vacancies and return to the Board in September to appoint commissioners. |
