RURAL FIRE PROTECTION DISTRICT EXPLORATORY COMMITTEE Mission: An independent Rural Fire Protection District (RFPD) Exploratory Committee (Exploratory Committee) to investigate the potential for forming a RFPD in the general Merlin-Hugo region was formed in the fall of 2007. Big picture ideas for the exploratory
effort include the following. The ultimate goal is a higher level of fire protection service for a lower cost. The purpose of the Exploratory Committee is to gather information adequate enough to understand the rules/process to form a potential RFPD (i.e., rules, difficulty, pros and cons, levels of service, fees/ assessments, elections, etc.). This includes educational outreach efforts. The Exploratory Committees purpose is limited to investigating and researching the potential (i.e., merits and liabilities) for forming a RFPD. Other potential actions will be considered and acted upon by other entities after the Exploratory Committees purpose has ended. 3. Unique Neighborhoods and Communities 4A.
