RECOMMENDATION(S):

Acting in its capacity as the Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors and as the East Contra Costa Fire Protection District Board of Directors (“District” or “ECCFPD”):


APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the County Administrator, or designee, and the Acting Fire Chief, ECCFPD, to execute an agreement with the City of Oakley and the City of Oakley Redevelopment Agency for construction of a new fire station #93 in the City;

RECOMMENDATION(S): (CONT'D)

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the conveyance of the County-owned property at 215 Second Street (existing Station #93) (APN 035-131-002) to the City or Redevelopment Agency upon completion of the fire station project, and;

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the conveyance of District-owned property known as the Live Oak Avenue Property (APN 041-021-014) to the City or Redevelopment Agency upon completion of the fire station project, and;

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the transfer of $850,000 from the East Contra Costa Fire Protection District – Oakley Developer Fee account to the City of Oakley upon execution of the agreement.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The fiscal impact is neutral. The conveyance of the District and County properties are offset by the new station and property being conveyed to the District following the completion of construction.

BACKGROUND:

Existing fire station #93 is located in the City of Oakley. It was built in the 1950s and designed for volunteer and paid-on-call firefighters. It is not large enough to adequately accommodate the career District staff and equipment that are now housed at that station. In addition, the City of Oakley has experienced a large population growth in south Oakley. The District V Supervisor, County Administrator, and staff have been working with the City of Oakley over the past two years to address the deteriorating condition, as well as the less than optimum location for serving the expanding populace of Oakley.

The new Station #93 will be located at 530 O'Hara Avenue in the City of Oakley. It will comfortably house three firefighters and an American Medical Response (AMR) quick response vehicle. The 530 O’Hara Avenue location will afford better coverage of the increased population in south Oakley as it is more centrally located than the current Second Street #93 Station. The population increase is a result of new development in the City of Oakley and, therefore, it is appropriate to utilize $850,000 in Development Fees.

The City of Oakley and the Oakley Redevelopment Agency (who purchased the La Vina property) will take the lead in constructing the new fire station and deed it and the La Vina property to the District in exchange for the: existing Station #93 building and property; the one-acre vacant parcel located on Live Oak Avenue, and; $850,000 transfer of developer fees. It is estimated that new Station #93 will cost approximately $3 million and that the costs will be covered by the City and County’s Fire Facilities Impact Fees (Developer Fees) and the value of the property transfers. The City of Oakley and the City of Oakley Redeveloment Agency approved the contract January 12, 2010, Agenda Item 3.9 CC/RDA.
