RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE the donation of Contra Costa County Fire Protection District surplus equipment to Task Force Joint Guardian.

FISCAL IMPACT:

There is no fiscal impact to the donation of this equipment, as the equipment has reached the end of its useful within the District.

BACKGROUND:

The Contra Costa County Fire Protection District (District) routinely surpluses outdated items that no longer have value in our system. Two firefighters from the District participated in a mission to Ukraine with firefighters from other agencies throughout the State of California. These missions were conducted through volunteer organizations who organized travel, support and donations of supplies. These missions operated much like missions that have occurred regularly to the Country of Mexico.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

Following the return of District firefighters from the Ukraine mission, they identified District-owned surplus equipment that is a critical need to those who are providing service in Ukraine. The District desires to donate the equipment to Task Force Joint Guardian, a group that is supporting the Ukraine mission.

The Advisory Fire Commission has approved the surplus of equipment.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If unapproved, the District would not donate this equipment.
