Fire departments push to let current officers select commission representatives; by-law update to go to Board of Supervisors
Summary
Fire department representatives asked that current officers be allowed to select their organization’s commission representatives; the proposed by-law language (noting the fire chief or designee remains ex-officio) will be presented to the Board of Supervisors.
Fire department representatives told the Emergency Services Committee that allowing current officers to choose their organizational representatives on the commission would better enable implementation of internal changes. The minutes state fire departments prefer that current officers determine representatives, rather than appointments managed by other processes.
The minutes also note that the current by-law includes the fire chief or their designee as an ex-officio member. The proposed by-law language and those considerations will be presented to the Board of Supervisors; the transcript does not record a committee vote or the precise amended text to be sent.
Next steps: the by-law language will be presented to the Board of Supervisors for consideration; the minutes do not record an adoption, vote tally, or timetable for Board review.
