Lamorinda Councils Get Together, Compare Notes
Annual get-together of Orinda, Moraga and Lafayette governments looks at issues that bridge Lamorinda.
The leaders of the two cities and one town of Lamorinda are getting together to compare notes.
An annual tradition of a joint meeting of the councils of Lafayette, Moraga and Orinda continues with a Thursday meeting. The joint meeting is scheduled for 7 p.m. Thursday in the Sequoia Room of the Lafayette Community Center, 500 St. Mary's Road. Lafayette.
In an email, Lafayette City Manager Steve Falk provided an example of comparing notes: "After the councils indicated an interest in working together to provide regional emergency response, the three cities jointly purchased a backup radio system and also jointly hired a consultant to study and revise our emergency plans to ensure that they were consistent with each other."
On this year's agenda:
- Fire and medical emergency response services.
- Potential for bidding capital projects together to capture economies of scale.
- Update on land use developments.
- Senior Village Concept in Lamorinda.
Senior Village refers to a concept popping up in various areas where members sign up for a group that provides support for senior citizens to stay in their own homes.
