STATEMENT BY THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS, adopted December 6, 2022:
“The North San Juan Fire Protection District Board of Directors has many responsibilities as described in the District’s Organizational Manual (https://nsjfire.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/2021-DISTRICT-ORGANIZATIONAL-MANUAL.pdf). Primary responsibilities are to oversee the budgeting for the fire department, approve the disbursement of funds, oversee the collection of all taxes, and provide direction and oversight of District staff charged with conducting the financial affairs of the District. All bills and invoices are reviewed by the Finance Manager, and either two (2) Board Directors or one (1) Board Director and the Chief. The Finance Manager is directed to notify the Board of any penalties and or refunds deriving from the operations of the District. Members of the NSJFPD Board are elected by the public to provide such oversight of District finances. The public is invited to attend Board meetings per the California Government Code known as the Ralph M. Brown Act (https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/codes_displayText.xhtml?division=2.&chapter=9.&part=1.&lawCode=GOV&title=5) that requires Board actions and deliberations be conducted openly so that the people are informed.”
