MEMORANDUM
TO: Board of Supervisors
FROM: Carol J. Huchingson, County Administrative Officer
DATE: February 27, 2018
SUBJECT: Approve to Waive the 90 Day Termination Requirements in the January 4, 2011 Fire Dispatch Agreement Allowing the Fire Districts to Terminate Effective March 1, 2018
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The Lake County Fire Chief’s Association has previously notified your Board of its intention to utilize CalFire for fire dispatching instead of the dispatch services provided by the County’s centralized dispatch center.
To accommodate their intended move to Cal Fire for dispatch services on March 1, 2018, your Board proposed that the current contract (dated January 4, 2011) between the Fire Districts and the County be amended to provide for termination without cause since the current contract presently allows only a 90-day termination for cause.
Although that option was ultimately not approved by the Fire Districts, they have continued to make plans to move to CalFire dispatch services. In order to allow the Fire Districts to proceed with their transition to CalFire, they have requested the County waive the requirements of the termination clause allowing them to terminate their contract with the County effective March 1, 2018.
