RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Fire Chief, or designee, to execute the First Amendment to Lease with Frank E. Nunes to extend, through December 31, 2023, the lease of an approximately 1,600 square foot building located at 1019 Garcia Ranch Road, Briones Valley, in unincorporated Martinez, currently being used as Fire Station 19.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The cost of the First Amendment to Lease will be $48,720 in rent payments during the first two-year term. The District will continue to budget for rent payments in its CCCFPD General Operating Fund Budget.

BACKGROUND:

The Contra Costa County Fire Protection District has used Fire Station 19 – Reserve Station since 1981 and wants to continue to lease the premises to provide ongoing fire protection services and EMS to the Briones community and surrounding rural areas. The rural location of Fire Station 19 is important in helping to control wildland fire in the area during fire season.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

Without the Board’s approval to amend the lease for the continued operation of Fire Station 19, the District would either cease staffing a reserve station in this area or need to find another suitable rural location with potentially higher rent payments and associated expenses for moving and/or constructing a new building.
