DESCRIPTION: The Dougherty Regional Fire Authority (DRFA) is a cooperative
agency voluntarily established by its members pursuant to the Joint Exercise of Powers Act of
Government Code of the State of California. The DRF A was established to provide joint and
mutual operation of fire protection and suppression services to its member agencies, the cities of
Dublin and San Ramon.
The DRFA is governed by a number of documents including by-laws. On January 30, 1995, the
DRF A Board of Directors directed staff to review the by-laws and detefllliIle the appropriate
amendment in order to change the term for Board Chair and Vice Chair.
Currently, the term is consistent with the Fiscal Year (July through June). It was proposed that
the term be modified to coincide with the City Council elections which typically occur in
November.
In accordance with the Board's direction, staff has prepared the attached resolution which amends
Section 3.2 and Section 3.3 of the existing by-laws to provide for a term of office which rotates
annually at the regular meeting of the Board of Directors in December of each year, instead of
July; and to provide that the Chief Executive Officer also rotate annually in December each year.
Pursuant to the current by-laws, amendments to these by-laws must be ratified by a majority of
the governing bodies of the member agencies. It is recommended that the Dublin City Council
adopt the attached resolution amending the existing DRF A by-laws.
