Bill > SB191

This bill establishes a new five-member board of commissioners for the St. George Fire Protection District, with specific appointment and residency requirements. Two members will be appointed by the St. George City Council (who must reside within St. George city and district boundaries), two members will be appointed by the East Baton Rouge Metropolitan Council (one from district 3 and one from district 9, both required to reside within the district), and the four appointed members will collectively choose the fifth board member (who must also reside within the district). The initial board terms will be staggered, with three commissioners serving one-year terms and two serving two-year terms, determined by lot. After the initial appointments, all subsequent commissioner terms will be two years in length. This bill aims to establish a structured and geographically representative governance model for the St. George Fire Protection District, ensuring local representation and community involvement in the district's leadership.
