A RESOLUTION OF THE TOWN COUNCIL OF THE TOWN OF
TIBURON APPROVING AN AGREEMENT WITH THE
CALIFORNIA DEPARTMENT OF FORESTRY AND FIRE
PROTECTION (CAL FIRE) TO PROVIDE
FIRE PROTECTION SERVICES ON ANGEL ISLAND
WHEREAS, when the Town of Tiburon incorporated in 1964, fire protection services on
the Tiburon peninsula were provided by two special districts, the Tiburon Fire Protection District
(*'TFP") and the Southern Marin Fire Protection District ("SMFP"). To avoid needless
expenditure of public resources, the Town did not develop its own fire protection department;
and
WHEREAS, the Town of Tiburon's municipal borders include Angel Island, which
consists entirely of a park owned, managed and controlled by the State of California through the
State's Department of Parks and Recreation ("State Parks Department"); and
WHEREAS, Angel Island is not within the boundaries of either TFP or SMFP; and
WHEREAS, a significant fire during the fall of 2008 demonstrated the need for fire
protection services on Angel Island; and
WHEREAS, Town officials have held extensive discussions with, among others, staff
from California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection ("Cal Fire"), the State Parks
Department, the Marin County Fire Department and TFP and determined that the most practical
means of obtaining fire protection services in the short term is by contracting with the State of
California for Cal Fire to provide such services; and
WHEREAS, the Town and the State have negotiated the Wildland Agreement attached to
this resolution as Exhibit 1 and incorporated herein by reference ("Wildland Agreement").
NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED by the Town Council of the Town of Tiburon
as follows:
1. All the Recitals above are true and correct and incorporated herein.
2. The Town Council hereby approves the Agreement and authorizes the Town Manager
to (a) negotiate any appropriate minor changes to the Agreement and (b) enter into and execute
the Wildland Agreement on behalf of the Town. The Town Manager is further authorized to
implement the Wildland Agreement and take all further actions and negotiate and execute all
other documents which are necessary or appropriate to carry out the Wildland Agreement.
