DISCUSSION ITEMS
D. 1 CONSIDER Consent Items previously removed.
There were no items removed for consideration.
D. 2 PUBLIC COMMENT (2 Minutes/Speaker)
Bryan Scott, resident of east county, did not wish to speak, but provided the
Board with written commentary on the recent structure fire in Bethel Island
and the funding issues that contribute to delayed response times (attached);
Stephen F. Smith, resident of Brentwood, spoke on the letter submitted by
Bryan Scott regarding East County Fire Protection District, noting that a
news outlet has corrected the quoted erroneous statement about the
availability of responders. Mr. Smith noted that the fire engine had been sent
to an incorrect address initially, and was not informed for 20 minutes that a
person was missing, by which time the structure was fully engulfed in flames.
He wanted the public record clarified, and offers his condolences to family
and friends affected by the tragic loss of life.
While the Board cannot take action on public comment, they did express
concerns over response coverage, particularly in the Antioch area, which is
served by East County Fire. Staff will place an item on an upcoming agenda
to address the matter.

RE: Fire Chief’s Report
______________________________________________________________________
Fire Station 16 (Lafayette): The roof is on and the framing is complete. The HVAC,
electrical and plumbing have been roughed in, and we are preparing for windows
and exterior finishes. Sheetrock is expected to arrive this month, and we will begin
to work on interior finishes. The building should be substantially complete by late
March and potentially occupied in April. The timeline has been affected by weather
and the ability to secure utility services. We will plan a groundbreaking ceremony as
the final completion date become clear.
Fire Station 70 (San Pablo): The District received three bids for the project. We are
currently performing due diligence on the low bidder and vetting any contractual
issues. We will return to the Board in March with an intent to award the contract and
potentially issue a notice to proceed with construction in April. We are already
attempting to establish site utilities based on our experience with the Lafayette
project.
Fire Station 9 (Pacheco): We continue to meet with airport staff on the potential site
layout. We are early in the CEQA process, and our goal is to have CEQA completed
and architectural drawings approved by the end of 2019. We are working with
Capital Projects to pre-qualify bidders in spring of 2019.
Fire Station 86 (Bay Point): The site layout is complete and the CEQA process is in
progress. The District has been meeting with neighboring property owners and
sharing the site plans. We will be presenting to the Bay Point Municipal Advisory
Council in May 2019. Our goal is to have CEQA complete and architectural
drawings approved by the end of 2019. We are working with Capital Projects to
prequalify bidders in spring of 2019.
Fire District personnel recently inspected four new fire engines and a new ladder
truck at the manufacturer’s facility in Appleton, Wisconsin. The inspection went very
well and the new apparatus should arrive within the next few weeks. These new
apparatus will replace existing apparatus that are due for replacement as a result of
heavy use and high mileage. In addition, two new wildland fire engines arrived last
week and will be placed into service prior to the 2019 wildland fire season. These
new apparatus will replace existing wildland apparatus which will be placed into
February 12, 2019 Fire Protection District Minutes
reserve status. This is an improvement for the District as we have not had reserve
wildland apparatus in the past.
Academy 52, the first accredited academy in the history of the Fire District, will
graduate 24 recruits on February 14. These recruits will fill existing vacancies and
allow us to place Engine 16 into service in Lafayette. Academy 53 will begin on
February 19 with 21 recruits and graduate in late spring/early summer 2019. The
District saw the need to hold back-to-back academies this year in order to keep
vacancies to a minimum as we head into another wildland fire season. While our aim
was to place 30 recruits into Academy 53, we are experiencing a shortage of
qualified firefighters and paramedics. Our recruitment numbers were down over 50%
in 2018. We are currently in a recruitment process and anxiously awaiting the data in
hopes that the volume of candidates returns to normal levels.
One of our senior fire investigators, Vic Massenkoff, retired from the Fire District in
January. Vic was an excellent investigator who helped arrest and convict several
arsonists over the course of his career. As our fire investigation unit is extremely
busy, and the arson problem in our county is significant, finding a replacement for
Vic was a difficult task. Fortunately, we were able to recruit Glenn Myer, a fire
investigator from the Solano County District Attorney’s office who has extensive
experience and will be a great addition to our team.
The auto/mutual aid issue with East Contra Costa Fire continues to tax our
organization, and we have been working with their fire chief in an effort to assure we
are both operating as efficiently as possible under the circumstances. Unfortunately,
after reviewing the data from CY 2018, it is clear we need to make additional
changes to the aid program. The numbers indicate that ConFire resources spent
over 564 hours assisting East Contra Costa Fire, while East Contra Costa Fire
resources only spent 172 hours assisting us – a 3:1 ratio. In addition, under the
current system, over 30% of the resources requested from ConFire never arrived on
scene but were committed to response for almost 90 hours. With the rapid growth in
call volume that both agencies are experiencing, this level of commitment cannot be
sustained. At the March meeting, I hope to present to the Board an alternative plan
that will reduce the level of commitment, better balance the commitment for each
agency, and result in a more efficient aid agreement.
The ambulance transport program continues to perform at very high levels allowing
us to meet our response time goals 95-96% of the time and maintain very low
response times county wide. I look forward to presenting our annual report to the
Board at our March meeting.
As you know, Captain Roger Harless passed away unexpectedly in January due to a
cardiac ailment. Captain Harless was a well-known and respected firefighter for 29
years and, because he was assigned to Fire Station 11 in Clayton for a number of
years, he was known as one of “Clayton’s firefighters.” The Fire District assisted with
Captain Harless’ funeral, and fire companies were brought in from many of our
surrounding agencies to allow on-duty personnel to attend his services. I want to
February 12, 2019 Fire Protection District Minutes
thank the many agencies – including police, fire, and EMS – who united in support of
our efforts to assure a proper send-off for Captain Harless.
As mentioned before, our Fire District has an ongoing and significant problem with
arson. Our fire investigation unit is tasked with many arson fires each month and has
made several high-profile serial arsonist arrests over the last several years. I am
pleased to report that one of those serial arsonists was sentenced last week to 19
years in prison. This investigation, arrest, and sentencing is the result of a team
effort between our fire investigators, local law enforcement, and the district
attorney’s office.

RECOMMENDATION(S):
APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Fire Chief, or designee, to accept grant funding from the California
Department of Fish and Wildlife, Office of Spill Prevention and Response, Oil Spill Response Equipment
grant, in an amount not to exceed $35,000, for the purchase of oil spill response equipment and training.
FISCAL IMPACT:
100% State; matching funds are not required.
BACKGROUND:
The California Department of Fish and Wildlife, Office of Spill Prevention and Response provides grant
funds for local agencies at risk of an oil spill to purchase response equipment to contain a spill or protect
local resources. The Contra Costa County Fire Protection District (District) plans to purchase a mobile
trailer, 1,000 feet of containment boom, absorbent material, personal protective equipment, and a boom
deployment-training course.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
The District will not be able to take advantage of this funding opportunity to obtain equipment and training
to help mitigate the effects an oil spill.

County
Subject:Add one Clerical Supervisor (represented) position and cancel one Clerk-Senior Level (represented) position at the
CCC Fire Protection District
February 12, 2019 Fire Protection District Minutes
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
This request is to cancel a vacant Clerk-Senior Level position and add a Clerical Supervisor, which will
be responsible for supervising the unit, drafting and implementing related policies, procedures and
guidelines for clerical staff, and providing support and ongoing training to staff. The Clerical Supervisor
will also ensure that staff provide timely and appropriate customer service at the reception and during
telephone calls. The Clerical Supervisor classification is a more appropriate classification to supervise
the unit and will free up the Fire Prevention Captain to focus on supervising newly hired Fire Inspectors,
conducting and developing training programs for Fire Inspectors, and performing Fire Investigation Unit
duties.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If this action is not approved, the Fire Prevention Bureau will not be able to fully utilize Fire Prevention
Captains for their intended role and will continue a less than effective supervisory model for clerical
personnel.

RECOMMENDATION(S):
APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Fire Chief, or designee, to execute a contract containing modified
indemnification language with Ricoh USA, Inc., in an amount not to exceed $75,000, for document
scanning services for the period February 12, 2019, through February 11, 2020.
FISCAL IMPACT:
An appropriation exist for this service in the Contra Costa County Fire Protection District's adopted budget.
BACKGROUND:
The Contra Costa County Fire Protection District (District) brings in plans and specifications for evaluation
of compliance with State and Local codes, and is required to keep those plans for the life of a building. The
District also conducts inspections of both new and existing buildings, and generates paperwork
demonstrating compliance with various codes and standards. These documents need to be kept for a period
of years as well. Because of the number of pages the District takes in, storage of these documents takes up
an extraordinary amount of space, and so scanning of the documents is the most cost effective long term
solution for the District. Ricoh USA, Inc.

RECOMMENDATION(S):
APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Fire Chief, or designee, to execute a purchase contract with Golden State
Fire Apparatus, Inc., in an amount not to exceed $1,300,000 for the manufacture and purchase of a Type
One Hazardous Materials Response Vehicle for emergency response and mitigation of hazardous material
incidents.
FISCAL IMPACT:
100% CCCFPD General Operating Fund Balance.
BACKGROUND:
In 2016, the Fire District made a strategic decision to initiate the formation of a hazardous materials team
within the organization that would be staffed on a 24-hour basis to respond to and mitigate hazardous
materials incidents within the Fire District. An agreement was reached with the California Office of
Emergency Services Fire and Rescue Division (CA OES) to become an assignee of a Type 2 Response
Vehicle. This agreement provided training for the members of the organization to become qualified in this
specialty.
Our team has been up and running since the OES vehicle was delivered in April of 2018 and continues to
develop in capabilities. The Hazardous Materials Team operates from an assigned vehicle from CA OES
and is completely reliant on that vehicle. Recently, the vehicle was out of service for over 30 days while it
received warranty related repairs in Sacramento. This compromises our ability to respond to incidents. The
agreement with CA OES also has some restrictive rules about how the vehicle can be utilized locally.

Subject:Purchase Contract for a Type 1 Hazardous Materials Response Vehicle
February 12, 2019 Fire Protection District Minutes
February 12, 2019 Fire Protection District Minutes
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
Ideally, the District would have some back up or reserve capability as it does for engines, ladder trucks and
other apparatus. The matter before the Board allows the District to purchase a Type 1 Hazardous Materials
Response Vehicle that will be owned and operated by the District. This will allow the CA OES vehicle to
serve in a back up or reserve capacity. Additionally, the District desires to upgrade the team to a Type 1
Hazardous Materials Response Team in the future. Acquiring this vehicle will allow the District to plan for
that enhanced future capability.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
The District would continue to rely on the California Office of Emergency Services assigned vehicle and
would not have back up capability when that vehicle is out of service.
February 12, 2019 Fire Protection District Minutes
RECOMMENDATION(S):
APPROVE Appropriation and Revenue Adjustment No. 5051 authorizing revenue in the amount of
$30,000 from CCCFPD General Operating Fund Balance and appropriating it in the Contra Costa County
Fire Protection District (7300) for the purchase of vehicle extrication equipment.
FISCAL IMPACT:
100% CCCFPD General Operating Fund Balance
BACKGROUND:
The Contra Costa County Fire Protection District (District) uses crews of firefighters trained in technical
rescue skills to rescue victims trapped in vehicles. The firefighters use battery operated hydraulic vehicle
extrication equipment to pry apart the wreckage. The equipment set includes a cutter, spreader, and ram.
When the equipment is damaged, the District must send the equipment back to the factory for repair, which
can result in lengthy repair times. Purchasing an additional set of equipment will allow the rescue crews to
stay in service while waiting for repairs.
