Board receives draft handbook and appoints onboarding ad hoc committee
Summary
Staff presented a draft Ross Valley Fire Department board handbook covering governance, finance and Brown Act guidance; the board recommended edits and appointed Stephanie and Richard Shortall to an onboarding ad hoc committee to refine the document.
Staff presented a draft board handbook intended as an onboarding resource covering governance, finance structure, roles and Brown Act procedures. Chief Mahoney said the handbook will be an electronic, living document linked to source materials and noted staff had already made corrections requested by directors.
Directors suggested specific edits — adding footnotes to clarify when Sleepy Hollow (2010) and Ross (2012) joined the authority, and including the fire board in the organizational chart — and thanked staff for producing a concise initial draft. The board moved to form an ad hoc onboarding committee and appointed Stephanie and Richard Shortall to the committee by voice vote; staff said the committee would guide draft revisions before the handbook returns to the full board for final consideration.
