Dear Cheryl:

The attached proposed Amendment to the Joint Powers Agreement Creating the Orange County
Fire Authority was approved by the Fire Authority Board of Directors at their October 24, 1996
meeting. Please add this to the agenda for the next meeting of the City Council. An amendment
to the Agreement requires approval of all member cities and the county.
The original Agreement sets the number of members of the Executive Committee at either five
(5) or seven (7), one of which must be a County Supervisor. At the March 1, 1995 meeting the
Board of Directors elected seven members to serve as the Executive Committee. At a special
organizational meeting on June 22, 1996, the Board redefined the OCFA organizational structure
by creating three standing committees. The Board further determined that the Executive
committee would be comprised of the Board Chair and Vice Chair, the Chairs of the standing
committees and two at -large members. To maintain a balance between cash contract and
structural fire fund cities, board members suggested increasing the allowable number of
members.
The proposed amendment would allow the Board of Directors the flexibility to determine the
number of members on the Executive Committee, while still retaining the requirement for at
least one County Supervisor.
If you have any questions please call me at (714) 289-7401.
Respectfully,
