League conference registrar, at <br />klofte(ii>.cacities.ora or (916) 658-8291. <br /> <br />'Fire Chiefs' Continued from Page 1... <br /> <br />The League Fire Chiefs Department is different from California's many fire service associations <br />because it represents those chiefs who are organized by city affiliation through the League's <br />member cities. The Fire Chiefs Department acts as an advisory subunit and provides staff with <br />important insight on legislative and regulatory proposals impacting the fire service in California as <br />it relates to cities. <br /> <br />Special guest speakers from CaIFIRE, California Emergency Management Agency, and State <br />Fire Marshal's office will give perspective on how the state will pursue future collaboration with <br />local agencies. In addition, legal and legislative experts will share what new laws are in play that <br />will change the way fire departments and cities carry out their work of protecting lives and <br />property . <br /> <br />The deadline for conference and hotel registration closes Nov. 10 so you are encouraged to act <br />now to guarantee your spot at this once-a-year educational and networking event. Online <br />registration Is available at www.cacitles.ora/events. <br /> <br />State Park Reductions to Begin Nov. 1 <br /> <br />Earlier this week, the California Department of Parks and Recreation announced its finalized <br />service reduction plans. While some service reductions began earlier this fall, these final changes <br />are scheduled to begin Nov. 1. <br /> <br />The more noticeable changes will include reductions in park hours, reduced trash services and <br />closure of some campgrounds and campground services. <br /> <br />For additional details on changes to your local state parks, please visit the California State Parks <br />Foundation Web site at www.caloarks.ora/takeactlon/service-reduction.htm. <br /> <br />The service reductions at state parks are part of the $14.2 million, one-time budget savings plan <br />that Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger announced in late September to keep state parks open with <br />the least dIsruption to visitors. <br /> <br />Please contact your state district office for more information about your local state parks. A list of <br />district offices can be found on the California State Parks Web site at <br />www.oarks.ca.aovl?oaae id=24248. <br /> <br />Rural Cities Should Register Now for Energy Efficiency and Conservation Block <br />Grant Workshops <br /> <br />On Nov. 3 in Napa, the Regional Council of Rural Counties (RCRC) will be hosting the second of <br />two workshops for rural counties and any cities within those counties on Energy Efficiency and <br />Conservation Block Grants (EECBG).
