BACKGROUND:

On May 15, 2007 the Board approved and authorized the Fire Chief of the District to execute the “Agreement Between Contra Costa County Fire Protection District, The City Of Pittsburg And The Pittsburg Redevelopment Agency For The Pittsburg Fire Replacement Project” (Agreement) under Item C-60. Under the terms and conditions of the Agreement, Pittsburg and the Pittsburg Redevelopment Agency were responsible for the construction of the new fire station facilities for Station 84, 85 and a fire prevention bureau facility on property owned by the District. The District was responsible for the costs of the design and engineering plans of the three facilities. These facilities are replacing existing facilities that no longer meet the needs of the District. Stations 84 and 85 are constructed and are now in full operation. The fire prevention facility is expected to be completed and ready for occupancy by November 2011. The District is now ready to grant the Property to Pittsburg pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Agreement.

In addition to the fire station building being on the Property there is communication equipment consisting of a 100’ antenna tower, two storage facilities, an emergency generator and an above ground fuel tank (Equipment). The Equipment is used by the District, Pittsburg Police Department and County Sheriff Department and it is cost prohibitive to relocate it. The District is reserving an easement for the Equipment and access thereto in the Grant Deed to Pittsburg.

After Pittsburg takes title to the Property, the District will transfer the easement and access rights to the County as the Information and Technology Department is responsible for the maintenance and operation of the Equipment.

It was previously determined that this real property transaction (DCD/CP# 03-12) is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), as a Categorical Exemption, Class 12. CEQA was previously approved and the Notice of Exemption was filed on June 13, 2003.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

The District will not be in compliance with the terms and conditions of the Agreement and will continue to be responsible for the maintenance of the Property.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

Not applicable.
