BACKGROUND:

Each year, the Board of Directors adopts a meeting schedule that designates regular meeting dates and any dates on which meetings must be canceled in anticipation that a quorum of the Board will not be present. In order to provide for at least one monthly meeting, the proposed schedule works around those Tuesdays that fall during a week with a District holiday, the fifth Tuesday of a month, and Tuesdays that fall during those weeks in February, May, July, and November in which the annual policy and legislative meetings of the National Association of Counties (NACo) and the California State of Counties (CSAC) are attended by one or more of our Directors. The proposed meeting schedule provides 12 meetings for Contra Costa County Fire Protection District Board of Directors and has been coordinated with the Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors and the Housing Authority of Contra Costa Board of Commissioners. The proposed meeting schedule recognizes the time demands on the Board members due to their participation on committees, and numerous regional and local legislative bodies and task forces, which require preparation, attendance, and involve travel. There are legal provisions to schedule a special meeting to address any urgent need that cannot be accommodated in the standing meeting schedule.

 

The 2025 proposed meeting schedule has been prepared in consultation with the incoming Board Chair, the County Administrator, and the Housing Authority Executive Director, and is recommended for the Board's adoption. The County Board of Supervisors has already adopted its meeting schedule, and the Housing Authority will take independent action to adopt its meeting schedule.

 

 

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

 

The Board will be unable to conduct their meetings for 2025.
