RECOMMENDATION(S):

Acting as the Governing Board of the Contra Costa County Fire Protection District, ADOPT Resolution No. 2018/506 approving the Side Letter between the District and IAFF, Local 1230 regarding the Staffing for Adequate Fire and Emergency Response (SAFER) Grant.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The SAFER grant budget is $4,976,451 over three years. The Federal share is $3,068,812, and the local agency match is $1,907,639. This action is the administrative/staffing agreement.

BACKGROUND:

On September 18, 2018, the Contra Costa County Fire Protection District Board of Directors approved and authorized the Fire Chief to accept a FY 2017 Staffing for Adequate Fire and Emergency Response (SAFER) grant through the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS), Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), in an amount not to exceed $3,100,000 over a three-year period. The SAFER grant budget is $4,976,451 over three years. The Federal share is $3,068,812, and the local agency match is $1,907,639. The Board of Directors identified additional actions necessary to facilitate the acceptance of the grant including the Fire Board of Directors adopting a Position Adjustment Request (P300) to add the nine (9) firefighter positions to the District’s total number of authorized positions, as well as approving a side letter with IAFF Professional Firefighters, Local 1230 that outlines the use of the nine (9) firefighter positions. This action provides the side letter for adoption, the P300 will be submitted for Board approval (on consent) in October.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

The District will not have an agreement regarding the addition of a fourth firefighter to certain engine or truck companies.
