CAO’s Recommendation
The FY 2016-17 Recommended budget
provides for the funding of 25 fire stations, 26
fully functional engine/truck companies, one
limited functionality squad, and 352.6 FTEs. This
includes cost of living adjustments, benefit cost
increases, building and grounds maintenance
and repair projects, and capital and non-capital
equipment replacement. In contrast, the FY
2015-16 Recommended Budget funded 24 fire
stations, 24 fully functional engine/truck
companies, three limited functionality squads,
and 335.6 FTEs.
The District is primarily funded by property tax
revenues. In FY 2015-16, the District
experienced a 7.6% growth in secured property
assessed valuation and 6.9% growth in total
assessed valuation. This represents the third
consecutive year of growth in assessed
valuation after several years of declines. The
District received additional property tax
distributions during the course of the fiscal year
due to the dissolution of various redevelopment
agencies in the County.
The FY 2016-17 Recommended budget
anticipates a 6% growth in secured property
assessed valuation and the resumption of RDA
Successor Agency pass through payments from
the City of Pittsburg. The budget also anticipates
the continuation of some new sources of
revenue, such as emergency medical services
April 12, 2016 Contra Costa County Fire Protection District 12
Contra Costa County FPD
Special District
County of Contra Costa FY 2016-2017 Recommended Budget 417
(EMS) first responder fees and sales tax for
enhanced EMS in the City of San Pablo.
These increases in revenue are allowing the
District to re-staff some of the operational
resources that were taken out of service during
recessionary years.
As noted in last year’s report, FY 2015-16
employer retirement contribution rates
decreased for most employers and rate groups.
In FY 2016-17 contribution rates will decrease
again due largely to prior year (2014) market
returns that exceeded the 7.25% investment rate
assumption. However, the rate decrease for the
Tier A Safety retirement benefit is being offset
by the gradual elimination of the 9% employee
subvention of the employer cost towards
retirement. The agreement to eliminate the
employee subvention of the employer rate
resulted from the last contract negotiations with
the District’s largest labor group, IAFF Local
1230.
The FY 2016-17 Recommended budget
balances by using approximately $2.4 million in
fund balance. The District has a policy to
maintain a minimum reserve of 10% of general
operating fund budgeted expenditures. Despite
the planned use of reserves to balance the
budget, the District continues to meet its reserve
requirements. It should be noted that $2.6
million of the District’s planned expenditures are
for the transfer of funds from the general
operating fund to the pension obligation bond
(POB) stabilization fund. The POB stabilization
fund can be used for very limited purposes –
such as extinguishing new retirement UAALs
and replenishing general operating fund
reserves. Therefore, after consideration of the
$2.6 million transfer, the FY 2016-17
Recommended Budget estimates a $200,000
increase to total available end of year fund
balance.
On January 1, 2016, the District became the
County’s exclusive operator of emergency
ambulance service (not including the areas
covered by the Moraga-Orinda Fire Protection
District and the San Ramon Valley Fire
Protection District). It is anticipated that the new
program will be cash negative for several
months, but expenditures are being secured by
anticipated receivables from the provision of
ambulance service.
Performance Measurement
During FY 2015-16 the District:
Responded to approximately 50,000
incidents in calendar year (CY) 2015.
This represents an 7% increase in call
volume compared to CY 2014.
Conducted approximately 15,910 life
safety inspections and plan reviews of
new buildings and fire/life safety
systems for compliance with state and
local fire and building codes during CY
2015. This represents a 25% increase
in productivity compared to CY 2014.
Following a thorough vetting process
and the subsequent award of a five-year
contract, effective January 1, 2016,
began providing emergency ambulance
services within Exclusive Operating
Areas I, II, and V in Contra Costa
County.
Executed a contract with American
Medical Response (AMR) to provide
emergency ambulance services on
behalf of the District, as the ambulance
service sub-contractor, pursuant to the
establishment of the Alliance.
Hired and trained staff to begin
dispatching ambulance resources from
the Contra Costa Regional Fire
Communications Center (CCRFCC).
Began the hiring and transition of non-
safety Fire Inspector I positions into the
Fire Prevention Bureau.
Transitioned the Fire Investigation Unit
to 24/7 operations to adequately cover
the increasing workload for fire
investigation and fire-related law

RE: Fire Chief’s Report
____________________________________________________________________________
The Ambulance Transport Program continues to progress. Our team has
resolved most of the technology hurdles we initially experienced after moving the
ambulance dispatch from Sacramento to our regional communication center. We
continue to average about 200 transports per day and are currently meeting all
performance requirements as specified in our contract.
Academy #49 continues to advance toward an anticipated May graduation date.
Unfortunately, one of the recruits resigned from the academy to accept a position
with another fire department. Twenty (20) recruits remain in the academy. We
are planning an October start date for Academy #50.
The Fire District continues to proceed with the rebuilding of Fire Station 16 in
Lafayette. All of the engineer reports have been submitted, and there are no
issues which would prevent us from moving forward. We have selected an
architect and hope to present you with a proposal in May. Our architects have
informed us that building costs have increased significantly over the last twelve
(12) months. We are evaluating the cost effectiveness of demolishing the entire
station or attempting to save the foundation and a portion of the framing.
Plans for the demolition and reconstruction of Fire Station 70 continue to move
forward as a joint effort of the Fire District and the City of San Pablo. The draft
funding agreement has been reviewed by the City and has been returned to us.
The City has offered an alternative building site to us, and we are assessing the
impacts of moving to the new location. Due to increased projections in building
costs, the City has agreed to increase their contribution to $2.5 million.
At the February meeting of the Board, the Fire District was tasked to report back
on any impacts the removal of the Quick Response Vehicles (QRVs) may have
had on the EMS system countywide. This was a difficult task to perform, and we
reached out to the EMS agency to brainstorm on how we could objectively
determine any positive or negative impacts. We agreed that the amount of time
an ambulance was on-scene prior to transport to the hospital was a good data
April 12, 2016 Contra Costa County Fire Protection District 33
Board of Directors
April 12, 2016
Page 2
point to begin with. As a reminder, the QRVs could not transport patients to the
hospital. Because there is a certain amount of preparation involved in readying
a patient for transport, the mission of the QRVs was to provide a paramedic on-
scene to begin treatment and stabilization as soon as possible so the transport
ambulance could begin moving the patient in a more timely manner after their
arrival on-scene. In the City of Brentwood, the data reveals that on-scene times
are slightly extended by approximately fifteen (15) seconds. However, in
Discovery Bay, Byron and Crockett, on-scene times have actually been reduced
by several minutes.
The District recently met with the Sheriff’s Office to discuss increasing of our
participation in the helicopter program. The Board will recall that last year we
entered into a trial program placing a Captain-Paramedic onboard the helicopter
on its days of operation. The Sheriff’s Office is interested in expanding the
program to additional days of operation, and the District has agreed to provide
staffing on those additional days should the expansion occur. We have
determined that the program is beneficial to the Fire District as well as to all fire
agencies in the county.
The District continues to work with representatives of the County Hazardous
Materials Division in an effort to develop a more symbiotic relationship. This past
month we met regarding two (2) separate hazardous materials incidents to
discuss what we could have done better and to determine efficiencies that can be
achieved by both agencies working together. Later in the month, we are
scheduled to meet again to discuss the Martinez derailment.
After twenty years of employment, Senior Clerk Jo Ann West retired from the Fire
District at the end of March. Jo Ann was often the first person the public met
when they came to our administrative offices, and she worked in numerous areas
of fire administration during her time with us. Jo Ann will be missed, but we wish
her the best of times in her retirement.

RECOMMENDATION(S):
APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Purchasing Agent to execute, on behalf of the Fire Chief, a purchase order with
Motorola, Inc., in an amount not to exceed $110,000 for the purchase of fifteen (15) dual band portable radios and
accessories.
FISCAL IMPACT:
100% FY14 Homeland Security Grant Program
BACKGROUND:
The fiscal year (FY) 2014 Homeland Security Grant Program (HSGP) plays an important role in the implementation
of the National Preparedness System by supporting the building, sustainment, and delivery of core capabilities
essential to achieving the National Preparedness Goal of a secure and resilient Nation. The building, sustainment, and
delivery of these core capabilities are not exclusive to any single level of government, organization, or community,
but rather, require the combined effort of the whole community. The FY 2014 HSGP supports core capabilities
across the five mission areas of Prevention, Protection, Mitigation, Response, and Recovery based on allowable
costs. HSGP is comprised of three interconnected grant programs: State Homeland Security Program (SHSP), Urban
Areas Security Initiative (UASI), and Operation Stonegarden (OPSG).

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
The State Homeland Security Program (SHSP) supports the implementation of risk driven, capabilities-based State
Homeland Security Strategies to address capability targets set in Urban Area, State, and regional Threat and Hazard
Identification and Risk Assessments (THIRAs). The capability targets are established during the THIRA process, and
assessed in the State Preparedness Report (SPR) and inform planning, organization, equipment, training, and exercise
needs to prevent, protect against, mitigate, respond to, and recover from acts of terrorism and other catastrophic events.
The Contra Costa County Office of the Sheriff was awarded a FY14 SHSP grant. A portion of those funds will be
used by the Contra Costa County Fire Protection District to purchase fifteen (15) EBRCS-compatible dual band
radios and accessories. There are no County or District matching funds required.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
The District will not be able to take advantage of this funding opportunity to replenish its cache of
EBRCS-compatible portable radios.
