Sonoma LAFCO

The board of directors of the Roseland Fire Protection District initiated dissolution of the District because the board determined that, after the annexation of the Roseland Area to the City of Santa Rosa in 2017, the District did not have the operational or financial capability to efficiently or effectively serve the only two areas outside the City that remained in the District.

The boards of directors of the Windsor, Bennett Valley, and Rincon Valley Fire Protection Districts and the Sonoma County Board of Supervisors, acting as the board of directors of County Service Area No. 40 (Fire Services), concurrently adopted a resolution earlier this year initiating formation of a single, unified district to provide fire protection and emergency services more efficiently and effectively and with greater financial feasibility in the central portion of the County.
