Strategic Plan
Board Meeting Schedule
The Pajaro Valley Fire board meets every two months, typically on the third Thursday of the month. Meetings are held at the Pajaro Valley Fire Station 562 Casserly Rd. Watsonville, CA 95076 commencing at 5:00 P.M.
Videoconference Meetings
On September 16, 2021, the State adopted AB 361, codified at California Government Code Section 54953, which allows local agencies to continue meeting by teleconference under certain circumstances. The Pajaro Valley Fire Protection District Board of Directors has met by videoconference since March 2020 and found it to be an effective method of receiving public input, holding deliberations, and conducting the general business of the District. Remote meetings held by videoconference, which also allow attendees to participate by telephone, allow attendees of the meetings to avoid the risk of potential COVID-19 exposure and allows those that may have been exposed or experiencing symptoms of COVID-19 to participate in meetings without posing a threat to other attendees. Current meeting agendas will provide information on how to attend meetings via videoconference. If you need additional information, please contact the District at (831) 722-6188.
