Dear Sir or Madam:
365-DAY NOTICE OF TERMINATION OF AGREEMENT
On November 29, 2023, the Consolidated Fire Protection District of Los Angeles County (District) informed the City of Pomona (City) of the District's need to amend the Agreement for Services By and Between the District and the City (Agreement) to allow for full cost recovery for the District. On May 16, 2024, the District proposed a three-year phased-in approach (beginning with $1.7 million for Fiscal Year 2025-26) to meet this goal.
Since the City has not agreed to the proposed amendment, and in order to reserve its rights, the District hereby notifies the City that it is terminating the Agreement, No. 67345, pursuant to SECTION I. ANNEXATION EFFECTIVE DATE AND WITHDRAWAL FROM THE DISTRICT, Paragraph (C), effective April 16, 2026. Therefore, it is imperative the District and the City immediately meet to discuss the transition of services. A meeting will be scheduled under separate communication.
The District remains hopeful that the District and the City will engage in meaningful negotiations for full cost reimbursement to the District beginning July 1, 2025, using the three-year phased-in approach as outlined in our May 16, 2024, letter under a new full reimbursement agreement.
