FISCAL IMPACT: No fiscal impact. BACKGROUND: Many members of the Contra Costa County Fire Protection District embody the District's core values which are Service, Teamwork, Professionalism, Leadership, Safety and Preparedness, and Integrity. In recognition of consistently outstanding work performance and demonstration of core values, the District annually solicits nominations for Firefighter of the Year. Of all the distinguished and deserving members who were nominated, Captain-Paramedic Ben Sanders was ultimately chosen to represent the Contra Costa County Fire Protection District as the 2016 Firefighter of the Year. Several factors, including his professionalism and work ethic, support the selection of Ben Sanders. Most notably, Ben Sanders is being recognized for his tireless and selfless efforts toward developing, growing and maintaining Contra Costa County Fire Explorer Post 88, also known as the Explorer Program, which is APPROVE OTHER RECOMMENDATION OF CNTY ADMINISTRATOR RECOMMENDATION OF BOARD COMMITTEE Action of Board On: 10/25/2016 APPROVED AS RECOMMENDED OTHER Clerks Notes: VOTE OF SUPERVISORS AYE:John Gioia, Director Candace Andersen, Director Karen Mitchoff, Director Federal D.

There were 26 structure fires. Five of those fires were two alarm fires, one of which included a fire inside the County’s Regional Medical Center requiring evacuation and movement of many patients in the facility. One of the 26 structure fires was a three-alarm fire involving apartments on all three floors and the attic of a three-story apartment building. This fire took 17 fire companies and over 60 firefighters to control it. Nearly 70% of on-duty District resources and 63 personnel were committed for over three hours. As always, our neighboring fire agencies supported our operations with station coverage, move-ups and emergency response coverage. Those assisting agencies included the San Ramon Valley Fire Protection District, Moraga-Orinda Fire District, Benicia Fire Department, and Military Ocean Terminal-Concord Fire Department. Unfortunately, these fires resulted in several civilian injuries and a moderate injury to one of our firefighters.  The District also had 26 vegetation fires; 15 vehicle accidents requiring disentanglement of trapped victims; a confined space rescue from a storm drain; and two hazardous materials responses, one of which included a release of radioactive material.  Our fire investigators conducted 106 fire investigations and made three arson arrests.  Several of our personnel responded to the Loma Fire in Santa Clara County as part of a mutual aid request for incident managers. Our bulldozer was also utilized for several days on the Loma Fire.  Lastly, several of our companies, including our fire boat, responded to a request for assistance for a fast moving wildland and structure fire on Sherman Island with people trapped on the island. As can be seen in the attached video, our personnel and boat were instrumental in saving structures and controlling the spread of the fire.  The District continues to work with the City of Pinole and the Rodeo-Hercules Fire Protection District. We believe we have resolved the issues with the Rodeo-Hercules Fire Protection District and are scheduled to address their Board on October 26. October 25, 2016 Contra Costa County Fire Protection District- MINUTES 12 Board of Directors October 25, 2016 Page 2  The District officially submitted the plans for Fire Station 16 to the City’s design review committee on September 30. We anticipate the review will be completed by early December. We also expect the CEQA review process to be finalized around the same time. After these two processes have been completed, construction drawings, plans, and specifications can be developed. Construction cost estimates have been calculated by a third party and are estimated at $2.8 Million for the building and site work. Soft costs for design, architectural and engineering, permits, construction management, and contingencies are estimated to increase the cost to a total estimate of $4.1 million.  The Fire Station 70 funding agreement between the District and the City of San Pablo is almost complete following the City’s review of and response to the draft in late September. County Counsel is reviewing the City’s comments and has recommended changes to the agreement. After meeting with City engineering and planning staff in September, we have a design and site plan that adheres to the City’s regulations and requirements. Based on the revised site plan, we are working on construction cost estimates.  Academy #50 began on October 3 with 14 recruits. Unfortunately two of the recruits have resigned, and there are 12 remaining. Graduation is anticipated in early spring.  The District participated in the Yellow Command disaster exercise in September. The drill was well planned and provided a numerous opportunities for improvement in collaboration and coordination throughout the county.  The District recently filled the Battalion Chief position assigned to the Safety Program in September. This position was left vacant during the recession, and we are fortunate to be able to re-staff it. The Safety Chief is tasked with responding to emergency incidents to identify safety issues and to promote best practices. He will also participate in a number of safety related programs within the District and County, including looking for trends in firefighter accidents and injuries and developing means to prevent them.  As we briefly discussed last month, the District has formed a recruitment team to ensure that our recruitment efforts reach all potential candidates, including women and members of other underrepresented groups within the community; that the public knows that we are an organization that values diversity; and that we will provide assistance and information to anyone interested in a career with Con Fire. I am very pleased with and applaud the efforts of the team. The members have used their resourcefulness to create a recruitment brand and are attending job fairs and other recruitment events around our state. Their efforts will insure that we have provided all potential candidates with every possible opportunity to pursue a career in the fire service with Con Fire.  District staff met with staff at the Tesoro Refinery last month. The District is concerned that the refinery is not physically within the District boundary. A major emergency within that facility could cause significant off-site consequences. Since the District surrounds the facility, we would be responsible to mitigate those October 25, 2016 Contra Costa County Fire Protection District- MINUTES 13 Board of Directors October 25, 2016 Page 3 consequences. We are also concerned that the refinery’s fire brigade is not operating under the direction of a Fire Chief, and County Counsel is working on that issue. Discussions were cordial, and future meetings will be convened after additional information has been gathered.  The new tractor-drawn aerial ladder trucks (TDA’s) are in-service in the District at Station 1 in Walnut Creek, Station 84 in Antioch, and coming soon to Station 6 in Concord. The new trucks represent a change in culture for the District. Trucks, and their staffing of three firefighters, have a different job to do at fires and rescues. Their primary role is to ensure clear access to structures and other emergencies which includes removing doors, windows, security bars, gates, and other obstructions. They are also responsible for disentanglement of victims from automobile accidents and other rescue incidents. Most importantly, their role is to remove the superheated gases and smoke from buildings either through holes cut in the roof or through natural openings such as doors and windows. This operation improves the survivability of occupants who may be unable to rescue themselves, and makes for better working conditions and visibility for interior firefighting personnel. The new trucks have about twice the cubic feet of storage for tools and equipment than previous apparatus and because they have a steering axle in the back they can maneuver as well as a smaller engine. The new trucks only carry a small amount of water in the event they need an immediate application upon their arrival.  The District has received the information needed from CCCERA to project our retirement rate increases in 2017-18, and the Board requested to receive this information as soon as we could provide it. The increase, estimated at $2 million, was within the projected range, and we can now move forward with our plan to open an additional fire station. Information available at this time suggests projected revenue increases will accommodate the retirement rate increase. However, we will remain watchful for external factors which could alter our plans.  On or about January 1, 2017, we will close Squad 1 in Walnut Creek. Those two personnel will be joined by a Captain, and we will reopen Fire Station 87 in Pittsburg. The crew will staff Engine 87 and eventually cross-staff HazMat 87 when that program goes live in 2017. The estimated cost to bring this plan to fruition is about $800K annually.  On or about January 2018, we hope to add an additional nine personnel and open the newly rebuilt Fire Station 16 in Lafayette. The total cost to deploy this company will be approximately $3.5 million annually.  As you may have seen recently, Moody’s Investors Service downgraded the District’s pension obligation bonds rating from A1 to A2. At the same time, they also removed the negative outlook on the pension obligation bonds citing that the District's sustained balanced financial operations and the expectation that continued growth of property tax receipts in the near-term will ensure stable financial operations. Our Chief of Administrative Services has been in contact with the Moody’s analyst who produced the report and he has admitted to misinterpreting one of the audited financial reports. Consequently, the report understated the October 25, 2016 Contra Costa County Fire Protection District- MINUTES 14 Board of Directors October 25, 2016 Page 4 District’s available reserves. As a result Moody’s may issue a correction statement, but they do not plan to modify the A2 rating because they feel the underlying reasons for the rating are still material.

FISCAL IMPACT: Cost neutral. BACKGROUND: The Contra Costa County Fire Protection District (District) licenses CodePal software for managing permitting, building plans, and inspection processes in the District's Fire Prevention Bureau. The District entered into a Software and Services Agreement with Sybatech Inc. to review and refresh the District's CodePal database, install a public-facing web interface, and other related work for the period January 1, 2015, through December 31, 2018. Capitol Strategies Consulting, Inc. has acquired CodePal software, and Sybatech, Inc. transferred all CodePal related contracts and work to Capital Strategies Consulting, Inc. An Assignment, Assumption, and Consent will allow the District to continue to receive the software and services outlined in the agreement with Sybatech, Inc.

October 25, 2016 Contra Costa County Fire Protection District- MINUTES 24 RECOMMENDATION(S): ADOPT revisions to policies AMB-4 and AMB-6 for the billing and collection of Contra Costa County Fire Protection District emergency ambulance services fees and charges. FISCAL IMPACT: The cost of implementing the policy revisions is neutral. BACKGROUND: The Contra Costa County Fire Protection District (District) established policies and procedures for its emergency ambulance services billing and collections processes in February 2016. The policies and procedures were aligned with, and heavily reliant upon, the structure and framework established by American Medical Response (AMR) as the County’s previous emergency ambulance provider. The policies were also modeled after some of the Contra Costa County Health Services Department hospital billing and collections policies. Two of the adopted policies are in need of minor revisions. Policy AMB-4 requires minor revisions for clarity and consistency with the original intent of that policy.

FISCAL IMPACT: 100% Special District Revenue. Use of fund balance, not to exceed $500,000, from the Contra Costa County Fire Protection District General Operating Fund (Fund No. 202000). BACKGROUND: The Contra Costa County Fire Protection District (District) Maritime Response Team responds to fires, spills, rescues, and medical emergencies occurring on 30 miles of navigable waterways with multiple high value target hazards. In fiscal year 2015-16, the District appropriated $400,000 for the acquisition of a fire boat.

Unfortunately, during the final inspection, corrosion damage was discovered in the hull, and the District elected not to execute the purchase and sale agreement. The $400,000 capital equipment appropriation was not used or allocated for a different purpose. The unspent funds were added to the District’s general operating fund balance at the conclusion of the fiscal year. No funds were appropriated for the acquisition of a fire boat in fiscal year 2016-17, because the decision not to move forward with the aforementioned purchase was made after the District’s preliminary budget was adopted by the Board. CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION: The District will not acquire its own fire boat at this time and will continue to rely, for as long as possible, on the Fireboat Use Agreement Fireboat Use Agreement currently in place between the Contra Costa County Fire Protection District and the East Contra Costa Fire Protection District.

FISCAL IMPACT: 90% Federal funds. There is a 10% local agency cost sharing requirement. The grant award(s) may be lower than the amount requested and will be for a period of one year from the effective date of award(s). BACKGROUND: The purpose of the Assistance to Firefighters Grants (AFG) Program is to enhance, through direct financial assistance, the health and safety of the public and firefighting personnel and to provide a continuum of support for emergency responders regarding fire, medical, and all-hazard events. FY 2015 AFG Programs play an important role in the implementation of the National Preparedness System (NPS) by supporting the building, sustainment, and delivery of core capabilities essential to achieving the National Preparedness Goal (NPG) of a secure and resilient nation.

This grant will request funding to replace two aging water tenders. Water tenders are used for vegetation fire responses and other fire incidents where fire hydrants are limited or non-existent. They carry 1500-2500 gallons of water depending on their configuration, as compared to 500 gallons of water carried on the typical fire engine. The District, at one time, had a fleet of six water tenders, but has been reduced to three due to the age and reliability of these units. Of the three water tenders owned by the District, only one is reliable enough to place in daily service. Two of these water tenders are 33 years old and one is 23 years old. This grant would provide two “tactical” water tenders, each carrying 1950 gallons of water and 20-50 gallons of foam. The cost of each water tender, including sales tax, is approximately $350,000. The total grant budget is $700,000 There is a 10% local agency match requirement. If the District's application is approved at the amount requested, the local agency match would be $70,000. CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION: Contra Costa County is home to major industry, railroads, local and state roadways, and dense population and commercial centers built on four major earthquake faults. It is imperative that the Distict has state-of-the-art firefighting and rescue equipment available at all times and our personnel are trained to the highest standards in order to provide the best possible emergency response to its customers. Failure to approve this grant request would cause the District to forego the purchase of the much needed equipment and provide the specialized training until additional fiscal resources are available.

Munson Company, in an amount not to exceed $500,000, for the purchase of a 32-foot fire boat for the Contra Costa County Fire Protection District’s Maritime Response Team. FISCAL IMPACT: 100% Special District Revenue. Use of fund balance, not to exceed $500,000, from the Contra Costa County Fire Protection District General Operating Fund (Fund No. 202000). BACKGROUND: The Contra Costa County Fire Protection District (District) Maritime Response Team responds to fires, spills, rescues, and medical emergencies occurring on 30 miles of navigable waterways with multiple high value target hazards. Last year the District budgeted funds for the acquisition of a used fire boat owned by the Tiburon Fire Protection District.
