RECOMMENDATION Approve by motion a new fifteen-year agreement (July 1, 2001 though June 30, 2022) between the County of San Mateo and the City of Redwood City for Fire Protection Services for the Fire Protection Sub-Zone of San Mateo County Service Area NO.8 (CSA-8). CSA-8 is located in the unincorporated area of North Fair Oaks. Fire protection services include response and prevention activities. BACKGROUND On June 30, 2007, the current 10-year agreement which was approved by the Redwood City Council in November 1997 will expire.
