Labor & City WorkersGovernance

In Plain English

Richmond agreed in 2021 to explore forming a Joint Powers Agency with 20+ East Bay cities and fire districts for wildfire prevention. The group decided an agreement is simpler than creating a new government entity. If approved, Richmond joins the coordinating group that meets regularly to share wildfire prevention strategies across the hills.
