Amendment
PURPOSE: To ratify the County Manager's signature on amendments to allow the 2013
contract between Orange County and North Chatham to remain in effect until a new contract is
agreed upon and implemented.
BACKGROUND: The agreement between North Chatham Fire Protection and Orange County
signed in 2013 has expired. In order to continue fire protection services in the Southern
Triangle and Damascus Fire Protection districts, an amendment to continue services under the
original agreement is necessary until the new agreement is completed. The Office of the State
Fire Marshal (OSFM) is conducting the Insurance Service Offices (ISO) rating for the North
Chatham Fire Department on September 16, 2019. Therefore, the contract must be in place, in
this case the amendment, for the property owners to maintain the current rating of Class 6/9 or
achieve a lower rating.
FINANCIAL IMPACT: If the amendment is not implemented, all of the properties in the North
Chatham Fire Southern Triangle and Damascus Fire Protection districts will rise to an ISO rating
of Class 10.
SOCIAL JUSTICE IMPACT: The following Orange County Social Justice Goal is applicable to
this item:
• GOAL: CREATE A SAFE COMMUNITY
The reduction of risks from vehicle/traffic accidents, childhood and senior injuries, gang
activity, substance abuse and domestic violence.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT: There is no Orange County Environmental Responsibility Goal
impact associated with this item.
RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends that the Board ratify the Manager's
signature on the amended agreements to maintain the current rating or achieve a lower rating.
