Prior to East County Fire Protection District’s, Station 18 & 19 (ECFPD) consolidation with San Miguel Consolidated Fire Protection District in 2008, the citizens of ECFPD overwhelmingly approved a ballot measure for a special tax “Prop E” to maintain/improve Fire/EMS service.  One of the requirements required the San Miguel Board to establish a volunteer Citizen Oversight Committee for Prop E.  The original Oversight Committee was established and once the ECFPD consolidated with San Miguel in 2008, the Citizen Oversight Committee decided they no longer had a purpose, as the San Miguel Board was already doing what they were charged with overseeing.  The Prop E language does not specify how committee members are selected or how many committee members are required.  San Miguel’s Board of Directors would like to have interested citizens residing within San Miguel Fire District's jurisdiction, or even potentially from outside the jurisdiction, to submit interest to the Board of Directors via the following form:

Thank you for your interest in helping San Miguel fill these positions. Once sufficient letters are received the Board of Directors will review the letters of interest and appoint the necessary Committee Members. Feel free to e-mail with any questions, cbrainard@sanmiguelfire.org
