RECOMMENDATION(S):

ADOPT Resolution No. 2016/2 to APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Fire Chief, or designee, to execute a Joint Community Facilities Agreement between the City of Pittsburg and the Contra Costa County Fire Protection District for the purpose of Pittsburg forming a Community Facilities District to pay the District for supplemental fire protection, emergency medical services, and facilities and equipment needs within the City of Pittsburg.

FISCAL IMPACT:

A Community Facilities District (CFD) generates supplemental revenue through the levy of special taxes to support new development in the area(s) in which it is formed. The actual revenue generated by the CFD over time will depend on the amount of new development within the area.

BACKGROUND:

The City of Pittsburg (City) recently approached the Contra Costa County Fire Protection District (District) with an offer of agreement to form a Community Facilities District (CFD) to support supplemental fire protection and emergency medical services within the City. This CFD would provide an annual revenue stream from parcels and properties in areas of new development within the City to support supplemental fire protection, emergency medical services, as well as facility, apparatus, and equipment needs within the City.

Taxes would be collected by the Contra Costa County Treasurer-Tax Collector on behalf of the City and distributed by the City to the District to be used for agreed upon supplemental services as detailed in the agreement. The CFD would be administered by the City for the benefit of the District, and if approved, the special tax would be levied on new developments within the City upon the effective date of the agreement.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

The City will not be able to implement the CFD on behalf of the District and the District will not receive the funding that would otherwise be generated by the CFD to support supplemental services, facilities, or equipment in areas of new development within the City.
