RECOMMENDATION(S):

ACCEPT finding that the Fire Station 69 roof project will not have a significant effect on the environment and is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to CEQA guidelines section 15301(d) AND DIRECT Contra Costa County Fire Protection District staff, through the Conservation and Development Department, to file a Notice of Exemption with the County Clerk.

FISCAL IMPACT:

There is no fiscal impact with the findings of a categorical exemption under the CEQA guidelines. The District did incur costs in order to make this finding and there are some cost associated with recording of the categorical exemption. If this project is not found to be categorically exempt, there would be significant costs in conducting additional studies.

FISCAL IMPACT: (CONT'D)

While the direct costs of the roof replacement project are not within the scope of this item, this $170,000 project is funded in the District 2016-2017 adopted budget.

BACKGROUND:

Fire Station 69 in the City of San Pablo is in need of a new roof. The Contra Costa County Fire Protection District (District) has previously identified this need and planned for this project during the 2016-2017 fiscal year. This agenda item only seeks approval of the CEQA findings. The District is receiving the assistance of Contra Costa County Public Works for the purpose of bidding and awarding this $170,000 project.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

Without CEQA approval, this project cannot go forward. Delaying the CEQA approval will cause the project to go into the 2017-2018 fiscal year.
