At a glance
In addition to hearing monthly division reports and operational updates, commissioners will discuss and potentially take action on a performance evaluation of CFFD Chief Amy Ramon, according to agenda documents.
Commissioner Cameron Dickey proposed the evaluation in a past board meeting after Ramon said she has not received a formal performance review since before ESD 9 merged with the Cy-Fair Volunteer Fire Department in 2020.
Dickey said the board hopes to complete the evaluation by March.
Also on the agenda
The ESD 9 commissioners will discuss a variety of contracts, gear purchases and other investments, including:
- A maintenance and support contract for the district’s Public Safety Radio System
- New rescue and bunker gear
- Several pending invoices from law firm Denton Navarro for legal services obtained in summer 2025
- An annual public relations coaching agreement with PR firm DeHart & Company
- Adoption of the district’s 2026 investment policy

The agenda also includes a standing item regarding an ongoing investigation of alleged misconduct by Commissioner Rob Paiva, as previously reported by Community Impact.
The board voted Oct. 20 to file a complaint with the Harris County district attorney’s office, and commissioners said they will update the community about the status of the investigation as more information becomes available.
