12) Fire Prevention, Planning and Engineering, Arson Investigation. 13) Emergency Medical Services. As a result of weekly meetings of the full team and additional meetings of the subcommittees, a recommendation was developed and presented to the San Bernardino County Board of Supervisors for adoption. The Board acted and the beginning of consolidation took effect on October 1, 1994. Having representatives from each entity that was affected reduced confusion and answered many questions which previously had been unanswered. Recommendations made here are to continue consolidation efforts having complete consolidation in place by October, 1996, two years after initial consolidation began.
