Document Description
The Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCO) took action to approve the Oceana Community Services District (OCSD) Divestiture of Fire Protection Service. Historically, OCSD has provided fire response services through a contract with Five Cities Fire Authority (FCFA). However, as the cost of providing fire service has grown, OCSD was unable to fund fire service at the prior levels of service. As a result of two failed ballot measures intended to raise revenue for fire service, OCSD Board of Directors passed a Resolution of Application to LAFCO to divest OCSD's fire service authority. As approved, the County of San Luis Obispo will assume responsibility for providing fire service within the Community of Oceana through a contract with FCFA. The contract will provide for delivery of all fire protection and emergency services in Oceana out of the Grover Beach and Arroyo Grande fire stations, at a minimum of two personnel per engine. This contract maintains the level of service currently provided to the Community of Oceana. The staff report is available on the LAFCO website at https://slo.lafco.ca.gov/.
