ACCEPT a report from the Fire Chief regarding the financial risks that new development poses to the Contra Costa County Fire Protection District.
Report only. No fiscal impact.
The Great Recession was an example of how vulnerable the Contra Costa County Fire Protection District (District) is to fluctuations in assessed property values and resulting property tax revenues. During the recession, seven fire companies were closed, reducing District-wide staffing by nearly 25%. Although the economy has improved since the recession, the District still struggles with financial challenges, and not all of our closed fire stations have been reopened.
