body
BACKGROUND
Since the 2023-2024 Fiscal Year, the County Fire Department has expanded its capacity to offer comprehensive fire prevention administration throughout the County’s unincorporated areas. This expansion was supported by increased grant funding and dedicated County staff. While grant funding was awarded and the project was initiated, the funds have been canceled. Napa County must reorganize the administration of its Fire Department. Operationally, Napa County CEO’s Office and CalFIRE will continue to work closely together, and the Napa County Fire Administrator will become a Division of the County Executive Office, versus being a standalone department. The Fire Administrator position is currently vacant, and the job classification, salary, and management group are being updated to better reflect the new reporting relationship.
Requested Action:
1. Adopt a Resolution to amend the Table and Index of Classes to update the Fire Administrator classification and appropriate personnel policies, effective June 24, 2025.
