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 Dan McClellan 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 Captain McClellan, who celebrated 25 years with the District on January 6 of this year. Captain McClellan is one of the District's tiller truck instructors and the program manager for the District's Hazardous Materials Team. He is also a member of California Urban Search and Rescue (USAR) Task Force 4 and was recently deployed to Florida in the aftermath of Hurricane Irma.

Once the building permit is issued, the formal bid process can begin. The District’s agreement with Kitchell, our construction management firm, is on the Fire Board agenda today. Kitchell will also be assisting with the bidding process.  Fire Station 70 (San Pablo): A public meeting was held for community input on October 10, 2017 at San Pablo City Hall. The City of San Pablo Planning Commission will review the project tonight, October 17, 2017. Once we receive design approval from the planning process, the architect will draft construction drawings. We will utilize the same construction management firm for fire stations 16 and 70.  In late August and September, the Fire District deployed eight personnel with the Urban Search and Rescue Task Force 4 to assist with the aftermath of hurricanes Harvey and Irma. The first deployment, for Hurricane Harvey, was on August 26, and our personnel were there for 11 days. A total of 74 task force members were sent to the Houston, Texas area where they rescued over 75 people from flooded homes. The task force also staffed an evacuation center that provides assistance and medical evaluations to evacuees; and conducted grid searches by boat to several neighborhoods which allowed them to rescue several pets and perform welfare checks on stranded civilians. The second deployment occurred on September 6, for Hurricane Irma, and our personnel were there for 10 days. Eighty task force members were sent to the Orlando Convention Center where they staged until the storm passed. They were then deployed to the Florida Keys where they performed wide-area searches on Stock Island and went door to door checking on residents. I would like to recognize the following CCCFPD personnel for their work: Captain Jeffery Clark, Captain Casimir Karbo, Captain Daniel McClellan, Captain Greg Sawyer, Captain David Watson, Engineer Ronald Cutting, Engineer Amy Miller, and Firefighter Karl Taugher. October 17, 2017 Contra Costa Fire Protection District Minutes 10  Two years ago, a CCCFPD firefighter donated his bone marrow to a man unknown to him who was suffering from leukemia. In September, Firefighter Andrade met the recipient of his donation at the fire station. Tom Darst paid Firefighter Andrade a visit to thank him for his lifesaving donation. Both men said they feel like they are family and hope that word spreads and convinces more people to participate in the bone marrow donor program.  Over a year ago, the Fire District enlisted the help of a consultant to determine the necessary fees to help the Fire District remain solvent even with the increased call volume that results from a new development. The consultant determined that the current one-time Developer Impact Fee needs to be increased to keep up with the cost of facilities and equipment. Additionally, an ongoing CFD fee will need to be implemented to make up the difference between the cost of operating fire resources and the District’s share of property taxes. Much of the new development in Antioch is occurring in the southeast corner of the city where the District only receives approximately 9% of the 1% property taxes paid by the homeowner. On average, the District receives 14% districtwide, and the consultant identified the difference of approximately $350 for each newly developed parcel.  The Kickoff Luncheon for the 2017 Contra Costa County Annual Workplace Giving Campaign was held on September 20 in Concord. The luncheon was well-attended by thirty County employees who are serving as department coordinators, and everyone was very enthusiastic about helping to make this year’s campaign a great success!  Fire Academy #51 officially began on October 2 with 30 new firefighter recruits. The recruits will endure 19 weeks of intense mental and physical training to prepare them to be CCCFPD firefighters. They will graduate in the spring of 2018 and will fill existing vacancies in the organization and Engine 16 at the new Fire Station 16 in Lafayette. October 17, 2017 Contra Costa Fire Protection District Minutes 11 RECOMMENDATION(S): APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Fire Chief, or designee, to execute a Consulting Services Agreement with Kitchell CEM, in an amount not to exceed $470,000, subject to approval by the County Administrator and approval as to form by County Counsel, for construction management services for the new Fire Station 16 project at 4007 Los Arabis Road in the City of Lafayette.

BACKGROUND: In late 2011 the Contra Costa County Fire Protection District (District) initiated the process for the design of a replacement facility for Fire Station 16 (FS 16) in the City of Lafayette at the present location on Los Arabis Road. At that time, the station was comprised of a small residential style fire station built in the 1950's that was abandoned shortly after the Loma Prieta Earthquake. Subsequent to the closure, a double-wide mobile home was used for the crew living quarters. Approximately $3 million was appropriated for the replacement of FS 16. In 2012, due to budget shortfalls and the eventual closure of FS 16, the project was placed on an indefinite hold. The funds were then designated to be used to fund the District’s contribution towards the building of Fire Station 46 (FS 46), a joint project with the Moraga-Orinda Fire Protection District. When the FS 46 project was dissolved, the District determined the most appropriate solution for the community of West Lafayette and for the overall service of the District was to rebuild FS 16. New site plans have been developed, engineers and contractors have surveyed the site and the existing fire station structure, and multiple analyses have been performed to determine the feasibility of reconstruction, remodel of the existing structure, or tear down and rebuild from the ground up. While it is possible to re-use the existing fire station structure, it was determined that the value of that structure is very low to the overall project and the cost to provide the required code upgrades and seismic retrofits would outweigh the utility of rehabilitating the old structure. The new station will be built to include modern seismic standards as well as being able to meet ADA requirements. The station will be constructed to provide protection for the community over the next fifty years and would allow for the facility to provide personnel with the components, systems, and features found in a modern fire station. The County Public Works Department requested Statements of Qualifications ("SOQs") for services for some specific and Countywide capital projects. The Public Works Department received eight SOQs from interested firms and four firms were shortlisted. A selection committee of County staff conducted interviews and ranked Kitchell CEM as one of the top ranking firms. It is recommended that Kitchell be awarded the agreement for the subject project. The Public Works Department will administer the agreement and facilitate project management for the District. CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION: If the agreement is not approved, construction management services will not be provided and the quality of delivery and management of the project could be negatively impacted. October 17, 2017 Contra Costa Fire Protection District Minutes 13 RECOMMENDATION(S): AUTHORIZE the discharge from accountability of certain Contra Costa County Fire Protection District accounts, in the amount of $28,602.02, that have been deemed uncollectible. FISCAL IMPACT: The value of the accounts is $28,602.02. The Office of Revenue Collection (ORC) was unable to collect on these accounts prior to its closure in 2010. Discharge of accountability will have no fiscal impact to District operations. BACKGROUND: The Office of Revenue Collection (ORC) was dissolved in 2010. Prior to its dissolution, multiple County departments and the Contra Costa County Fire Protection District (District) referred delinquent accounts to ORC for collection. These past due accounts were for permit fees within the Fire Prevention Bureau (plan review, site inspection, code enforcement, special events, etc.). Upon the closure of ORC, it was determined that the delinquent accounts would be referred back to County departments and the District. As of the present date, $28,602.02 remains uncollected. The District is requesting a discharge of accountability for these accounts so that the Department of Information Technology can remove them from the Revenue Plus Collections System.

In order to provide for at least one monthly meeting, the schedule works around those Tuesdays that fall during a week with a District holiday, the fifth Tuesday of a month, and Tuesdays that fall during those weeks in February, May, July, and November in which the annual policy and legislative meetings of the National Association of Counties (NACo) and the California State of Counties (CSAC) are attended by one or more of our Directors. The 2018 meeting schedule provides 12 regular meetings for the Contra Costa County Fire Protection District Board of Directors. In addition, the annual Fire District Budget Hearings and Adoption are scheduled concurrent with the County Board of Supervisors budget hearings and adoption on April 17 and May 8, respectively. If additional meetings become necessary, there are legal provisions to schedule a special meeting to address any urgent need that cannot be accommodated in the standing meeting schedule. The 2018 meeting schedule has been prepared in consultation with the incoming Board Chair, the County Administrator, and the Fire Chief, and is recommended for the Board's adoption. The County Board of Supervisors has already adopted its meeting schedule. October 17, 2017 Contra Costa Fire Protection District Minutes 17
