RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Fire Chief, or designee, to execute a license agreement with the American National Red Cross to store vehicles and associated disaster equipment at the Contra Costa County Fire Protection District training grounds, located at 2945 Treat Boulevard in Concord through May 31, 2023.

FISCAL IMPACT:

There is no fiscal impact associated with this lease.

BACKGROUND:

The American Red Cross has been a long established partner of Contra Costa County Fire Protection District (District), Contra Costa County (County), and the greater emergency response community in the County. In early 2021, the Red Cross approached the District about the need to store a number of emergency response vehicles and associated disaster support equipment. This need is due to the national decision of the Red Cross to divest themselves of real estate holdings. The local chapter of the Red Cross is searching for a new headquarters in the area. In order to fill the gap in time, and due to the longstanding nature of the relationship, the District recommends accommodating the request. There is space available adjacent to the District's training grounds where the Red Cross can store the vehicles and equipment.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

The Red Cross would have to search for an alternative location to store disaster response equipment.
