MOFD Board May Decide Future Location Of Its Offices Wednesday

Rent or buy? Orinda or Moraga? The Moraga-Orinda Fire District board meets Wednesday to determine the location for the district offices.

Moraga-Orinda Fire District Board of Directors meet Wednesday night to discuss combining administrative offices in a leased space, a newly purchased office building or to leave their offices split between Orinda and Moraga.

The district is feeling the pinch, Fire Chief Randy Bradley said, as its facilities age and fall out of compliance with required gender, seismic, and ADA requirements.

Bradley has recommended that MOFD directors approve district purchase of a $1.1 million office building at 1150 Moraga Way in Moraga.

Although the idea has found favor with some board members, others have asked Bradley Directors to continue negotiations with the city of Orinda, which has space for offices in its City Hall.

Bradley had hoped to move administrative staff out of fire stations in Moraga and Orinda to clear space for needed upgrades at Moraga's Station 41.
