Reason for Recommended Action/Background

On July 23, 2019 the County Board of Supervisors received a report regarding the challenges facing the Yolo County Fire Protection Districts; particularly the declining volunteer base and lack of sufficient funding for operations. As a result, the Board directed staff to work with the fire districts to develop a long-term sustainability plan. Since that meeting, the Yolo County Fire Chiefs Association designated a subset of fire chiefs to meet and work with County staff on this plan. Initial meetings have involved the gathering and evaluation of data as well as the discussion of baseline operational standards. Due to the scope of the overall issue, including the potential to meet and discuss similar experiences with officials in other counties, it is the recommendation of County staff that the Board form an ad hoc committee to assist with direction and oversight in the long term sustainability plan development process.

On September 10, 2019 the Board of Supervisors received and approved staff's recommendation to establish a Board Ad Hoc Committee for this purpose at the September 24, 2019 Board meeting. In response County staff have prepared the Board of Supervisors Ad Hoc & Standing Subcommittees assessment worksheet, which is included as Attachment A. The worksheet includes a recommendation from the Board Chair that Supervisors Duane Chamberlain and Gary Sandy serve as the committee members.
