MOTION Upon motion by Director LeVesque, duly seconded by Director Forrest and carried unanimously, the minutes were approved with the recommended changes. DISCUSSION OF FIRE The President stated that Fire Chief Earl L. PROTECTION Mathiot of the Muscoy County Fire Protection District was present to discuss with the Board, problems in connection with creating fire pro- tection for our District or the east valley area. General Manager Rickert gave a little informa- tion about the Chief's District to help start the discussion. The Chief stated that their District is under county supervision through a Commission appointed by the County Supervisors. They operate on a tax base which varies slightly from time to time but is approximately 77 cents per hundred dollars assessed valuation. Their District can expand by annexations, or deletions may also be allowed. San Bernardino City has a rating of 4 or 5 and his District is rated at 5 at present. The Rating Bureau rated the east end of the valley at 7. The Muscoy District has 2 stations with 13 regular firemen for their two stations. Through the mutual aid program with other fire fighting entities, the whole of this valley could have fire protection. He proposed that our District could-start with 2 stations which would be within 3-miles of any area. He stated that their buildings are designed and constructed to blend with the residential areas in which they are located and cost about $14,000.00, covering about 1500 square feet of floor space. Their firemen are on duty 24 hours and off 24 hours with 6 or 7 men on duty at one time. He instituted an "On the Job Training Program" for.College students with the proper qualifications and in winter when they are in school they are paid $100 per month, and in the summer when the fire hazard is so much higher and they can work full time, they are paid $300 per month. 90% of their budget is for salaries. ~heir equip- ment was not all purchased new and was bought on a 5 year lease plan through the county which spreads the cost. Upon inquiry regarding the annual budget for his district, he stated it.is just under $134,000 and a portion of that is kept as reserve for the time lapses in getting tax money. He stated that in addition to actually fighting fires and keeping up equipment, they are very active in the Uniform Fire Prevention Code which covers elimination of unsightliness, such as wrecked and abandoned shacks and buildings, weed abatement and working with anything else which might be a fire hazard and education on fire May 10, 1966. 1097 prevention and hazards. When asked if this Board could go to the Board of Supervisors and request a Fire District in our area he stated "no", that would not be the way to go about it - that a group of substantial citizens of this area, some of which could be directors actinq as private citizens, should go to the Board of Supervisors or, preferably, to the Executive Officer, Rigney, of the Local Agency Formation Commission to request annexa- tion to a fire protection district with ex- perience and trained personnel. This would be expanding or annexing to an organized fire protection district. A group of residents and substantial citizens should approach them as proponents. A central fire control system between the city, county and dist:cicts could be set up for any great emergencies. The Commission would staff additional stations and equip them, help set up the budget and other details. Chief Mathiot has helped in forming other dist- ricts and has had considerable experience and training in this sort of thing and he recom- mended that a letter be sent to F. C. Forbes, Secretary Muscoy County Fire Protection District, 2156 Darby Street, San Bernardino, asking for the help of the Chief whose consent has been obtained, to help the east valley area move as quickly as possible toward fire protection. The President appointed a Committee to proceed with this matte:f - Directors Disch and Forrest, Manager Rickert.. The first job will be to gather as much infor- mation as possible by special meetings, etc. RESOLUTION NO. 870 Resolution No. 870 was presented as the final MAKING DETERM/NATIONS, resolution for public hearing, making deter- ORDERING ANNEXATION, minations, ordering annexation, establishing ESTABLISHING TERMS & terms and conditions of annexation No. 1965-15 CONDITIONS OF which is the Arrow View Water Association area ANNEXATION 1965-15 on Barton Road south of Base Line and on Base ARROW VIEW WATER Line.
