City Council Approves Shared Fire Services Agreement With Rocklin


 


After a year-long study of viable Fire Department leadership alternatives, the City Councils in Lincoln and Rocklin both voted last night to enter into a Shared Services Agreement (SSA). The agreement allows Lincoln and Rocklin to share services related to fire administration and fire prevention.

"This agreement not only strengthens an already solid regional partnership between Lincoln and Rocklin, but makes a tremendous amount of sense in terms of being able to provide greater fire services to our residents within our financial means," said Lincoln City Manager Matthew Brower.

Under the agreement,Rocklin will furnish a fire chief, 3 battalion chiefs, and a fire prevention officer. Lincoln will furnish 2 division chiefs that will report to the Fire Chief, and will be responsible for general operations, personnel management, training and fire prevention services.

"The City of Rocklin and the City of Lincoln are natural partners for shared fire services given their geographic proximity, shared CAD [computer aided dispatch] system, existing closest resource and automatic aid agreements and a long history of working together," said Rocklin City Manager Rick Horst. 

The termof the initial agreement is one year (July 1, 2016 to June 30, 2017) with automatic renewal for one year after the initial 12 month period unless either party opts to terminate the agreement at the end of contract period.

 
Lincoln City Attorney to Leave Post

Lincoln's city attorney, Jonathan Hobbs, who has served the City since December of 2011, will be leaving his post to serve as an in-house municipal attorney in another jurisdiction.
 
Hobbs announced to the Lincoln City Council at Tuesday's Council meeting that he will be leaving June 28th to serve as the in-house attorney for the City of Elk Grove.
 
"Jon has been a key member of team and a trusted advisor," City Manager Matthew Brower said. "Given the functional diversity of the city, Jon has served the city extremely well over the years. His knowledge and expertise will be greatly missed."
 
In December of 2011, the City entered into a contract with Kronick, Moskovitz, Tiedemann & Girard (KMTG) for legal services, which assigned Hobbs as the primary attorney for performing work for the City.
 
  The Lincoln City Council named Leslie Walker of KMTG as interim city attorney while the city issues a new Request for Proposal for Legal Services.

Planning a Special Event?


Throughout the years, event planners and service organizations have been looking for a comprehensive "Community Calendar" where they could advertise their events, or to check to make sure there are no other events planned for the same day.

With the City's new website, we now have such a tool in place! And the process is simple.

Simply click here to submit your event right now. Instructions are very easy to follow.

If you should have any problems submitting your event, please contact the City's Public Information Officer, Jill Thompson, at (916) 434-2448 and she will be happy to walk you through the process.

It is our hope that by using this tool, all City service organizations and event planners will get more exposure for their special events, and that by avoiding multiple events on the same day, each event will be well attended and a huge success!
