RECOMMENDATION(S):

ACCEPT a verbal report on the feasibility analysis for annexation of either or both the East Contra Costa Fire Protection District and the Rodeo-Hercules Fire Protection District into the Contra Costa County Fire Protection District.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The projected cost of contracting with a consultant to conduct the analysis is estimated at $60,000 to be split proportionately between all three agencies.

BACKGROUND:

In recent weeks, we have begun discussions with both the Rodeo-Hercules and East Contra Costa Fire Protection Districts for possible annexation initiatives to enhance and improve the delivery of fire, rescue, and EMS response in our jurisdictions.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

In the case of Rodeo-Hercules, we received an official request for a proposal which is currently under development. For both analyses, a consultant familiar with the county fire agencies and existing issues is developing a scope of work document, and we are working through the implementation and contract process. In both cases, we are in the very early stages of a two-part process to determine if annexation of either district should be pursued by the respective agencies and their governing bodies.

Should the study be undertaken, it is anticipated the full scope of the two-part analysis will take six to eight months to complete and total cost will be approximately $60,000 to be split proportionately between all three agencies.
