Drexel Heights authorizes no-cost intergovernmental agreement with Santa Rita and Rincon Valley districts

Drexel Heights Fire District Governing Board · June 26, 2026

Summary

The board authorized Resolution 2026-13 to enter a cooperative, no-cost intergovernmental agreement with Santa Rita and Rincon Valley Fire Districts, citing a Rincon Valley inspector filling a vacancy; the measure passed 3-1 with Laura Dailey voting no.

The Drexel Heights board authorized Resolution 2026-13 to execute an intergovernmental agreement (IGA) with Santa Rita Fire District and Rincon Valley Fire District for cooperative services. The minutes record Chief Douglas Chappell explaining that Rincon Valley has a qualified inspector/investigator who will fill a vacancy and that the agreement carries no cost to Drexel Heights. The motion, moved by James Bertrand and seconded by Elaine Aldrete, passed 3-1 with Laura Dailey voting against the measure.

Board discussion included a question from Ms. Dailey asking why Rincon Valley did not renew a prior arrangement with Northwest Fire District; Chief Chappell said Northwest Fire District "was charging a lot." The IGA is recorded in the minutes as a cooperative staffing arrangement; the board did not record additional terms or financial considerations beyond the 'no cost' statement in the meeting text.
