CITY COUNCIL: Resolution Authorizing Gerard Rose to Represent City on Carmel Regional Fire Ambulance (CRFA) Authority Board of Directors

Meeting Date: 13 July 2010
Prepared by: Rich Guillen

City Council
Agenda Item Summary

Name: Consideration of a Resolution authorizing Gerard Rose to represent the City of Carmel-by-the-Sea on the Carmel Regional Fire Ambulance (CRFA) Authority Board of Directors.

Description: The CRFA Board has three voting members--one representative from Carmel and two from Carmel Valley (representing the Carmel Valley Fire Protection District), the two entities that comprise the Authority.

Article 6 of the CRFA Joint Powers Agreement relates to the membership of the Governing Board and states that, “The legislative body of each Authority member shall appoint either a member of the legislative body, its administrative officer, or its fire chief to serve as its representative to the Board.” Since April 2000, Gerard Rose has served as
the Carmel delegate.

At its May 19, 2010 meeting, the CRFA Board amended Article 6 to expand the membership criteria to allow each legislative body to appoint “a voting citizen of the Member Agency jurisdiction” to serve as its representative to the Board.

Overall Cost:
City Funds: N/A
Grant Funds: N/A

Staff Recommendation: Adopt the Resolution.

Important Considerations: Former Council Member Rose has served on the CRFA Board for more than a decade, most recently as its president. We recommend he continue to serve on the board until the individual members of CRFA have finalized ongoing plans to disassociate themselves from the JPA. At that time, CRFA will then become independent and have its own budget.

Decision Record: None.
