Analysis (continued)
Metro Cities Fire Joint Powers Authority
Since 1969 the City has participated in a regionalized fire dispatch delivery system. In 1992,
the Central Net Operations Authority Joint Powers Agreement was adopted by the following
cities: Fountain Valley, Huntington Beach, Newport Beach, and Westminster, which
formalized this regionalized approach for both training and fire dispatch services. However,
as a result of Westminster's 1995 decision to join the Orange County Fire Authority, the cost
effectiveness of operating a communications center with the remaining three cities was no
longer viable. As a result, several fire dispatch alternatives were pursued which resulted in
the formation of Metro Cities Fire Joint Powers Authority as the most cost effective
alternative.
The Metro Cities Fire Authority, which includes the cities of Anaheim, Fountain Valley,
Fullerton, Garden Grove, Huntington Beach, Newport Beach and Orange, officially began
operating on July 1, 1996. The fire dispatch services are administered by the City of
Anaheim at an Anaheim location. The Board of Directors of the Authority consists of
members appointed by the governing bodies of these cities. The Board of Directors meets
quarterly on the fourth Thursday of October, January, April, and July. It is recommended that
the proposed appointment of Fire Chief McIntosh as Alternate Board Member be made until
revoked. This practice is followed by all other Authority member agencies. City
Administrator Fred Wilson will remain as the City's Board Member.
Based on the technical and operational activities of these Boards, the proposed
appointments will provide effective representation of the City of Huntington Beach for the
activities of these Joint Powers Authorities.
