Move to member agency governing boards for approval Background Information Chino Valley Fire started service with CONFIRE on March 11, 2019. From the beginning of their interaction with CONFIRE the organization has clearly stated its desire to become a member agency of CONFIRE at the earliest possible time. The recently approved new member process affords Chino Valley that opportunity due to its previous engagement at CONFIRE from 2000-2004, Attached is a resolution dated February 13, 2019 from the Chino Valley Independent Fire District Board of Directors officially seeking membership into CONFIRE. This includes the stipulation of contributing $412,423 as its required buy -in to account for investments previously made by member agencies. The current JPA Agreement and By -Laws requires that the CONFIRE Board of Directors and their associated governing boards vote unanimously for any applicant for membership to be approved. Attached to this staff report is draft Resolution 2019-1 "Recommendation to Admit Chino Valley Independent Fire District as a Party to Consolidated Fire Agencies ("CONFIRE") Joint Powers Agreement." If approved by the CONFIRE Board, each Board member shall forward the matter to its respective governing board for approval using the attached draft resolution "Consent to Amend the Consolidated Fire Agencies ("CONFIRE") Joint Powers Agreement to Admit Chino Valley Independent Fire District as a Party." Once all member agency governing boards approve the membership request the item will be returned to the CONFIRE Board of Directors for final action. If approved Chino Valley Fire would become the seventh member agency of CONFIRE. CONFIRE Staff will assist Board members and their governing bodies with this process as requested. It is recommended that the Board conclude this process by their December 2019 meeting.
