RECOMMENDATION(S):

ADOPT Position Adjustment Resolution No. 26063 to add 16 positions as listed in Attachment A pursuant to the Agreement between the Contra Costa County Fire Protection District and the City of Pinole for Fire Protection Services effective January 1, 2023.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The fiscal impact to the Contra Costa County Fire Protection District ("District") is intended to be cost neutral. Per the terms of the Agreement between the District and the City of Pinole for Fire Protection Services ("Agreement"), fire services provided by the District to the City of Pinole ("City") will be reimbursed by the City less a Measure X allocation from the County. The total first full fiscal year reimbursement to the District is anticipated to be approximately $7.5 million with approximately $5.5 million being paid by the City and $2 million paid from Measure X funds. On September 20, 2022, the Board of Supervisors approved resolution 2022/332, allocating Measure X funds of $2 million annually through fiscal year 2027-28 with an annual escalator not to exceed 4%. While the Agreement is effective January 1, 2023, the current target date for the District to begin staffing Fire Stations 73 and 74 is March 1, 2023, so current fiscal year staffing costs have been prorated accordingly.

BACKGROUND:

On October 11, 2022, the District Board of Directors approved an Agreement, effective January 1, 2023, between the District and the City for the provision of fire protection services by the District within the City boundary. The Agreement provides that the District will staff two fire stations located in the City with the minimum of a three-person engine company, and there are three shifts (A-B-C) per fire station that must be staffed for 24-hour coverage. Additionally, the Agreement provides that some or all of the fire suppression personnel currently employed by the City may elect to leave City employment to become District employees.

This action adds 16 positions, as listed in Attachment A, within the District to be filled by currently employed City fire suppression personnel. The Agreement is effective January 1, 2023, but the anticipated appointment date of these employees is March 1, 2023.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

The positions necessary to hire existing City fire suppression personnel would not be added. This would result in the District not being in compliance with the terms of the Agreement.
