RECOMMENDATION(S):
ACCEPT a report from the Fire Chief providing an update on the ongoing annexation feasibility
analysis.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is no impact relative to receiving this update.
BACKGROUND:
In the fall of 2020, we began a process to study the feasibility of annexing the Rodeo-Hercules Fire
Protection District and the East Contra Costa Fire Protection District into the Contra Costa County Fire
Protection District. That process was further enhanced with a formal study, referred to as “Phase II”, which
was initiated in December, 2020. This action is to receive an update on the progress of Phase II with a
review of the steps taken to date and anticipated timelines for the remainder of the study moving forward.

RE: Fire Chief’s Report
______________________________________________________________________
COVID-19 Update. Beginning this month, the multiple fire-hosted clinics conducted
in the last four months have been replaced by a number of other delivery means just
in time to free fire resources for fire weather. Getting these joint-venture clinics
(between CCHS, CCSO, LEMSA, the Medical Reserve Corps, and CERT teams )
organized, staffed, and conducted has represented a heavy lift for all participating
agencies across the County. Nearly 30 clinics were hosted in east, south, and west
County, each staffed with approximately 70 personnel from all fire jurisdictions and a
variety of other County agencies. More than 20,000 residents were vaccinated in
these clinics according to CCHS.
As the County and region move into more favorable conditions, we are exa mining
policies established during the last year to determine where changes are needed in
light of the improving infection situation, County-wide protection protocols, and
evolving CDC guidance. One of the first such areas has been our dispatch protocols
where we have reduced the complexity of some of the questions we had been
asking of 911 callers with respect to COVID. In the meantime, we continue to
emphasize appropriate protection procedures for all employees.
Fire District Annexation Study Update. As of the first week of May, Phase II of this
study continues to move ahead with no significant issues identified. We anticipate
receipt of the consultant’s report sometime in late May or early June with a report to
the Board soon thereafter. In the interim, we continue to take steps in planning for a
potential annexation.
Operations/Fire Weather Update. Continued warm weather and the dearth of spring
rain prompted us to increase our responses to all vegetation fires effective May 1 -
approximately 10 days earlier than last year. This is yet another indicator of the ever-
changing nature of fire weather in the region. All exterior fire responses now include
a minimum of five engines, up from one engine previously.
A moderate Red Flag fire weather event occurred May 7-11. Additional engines, our
dozer, and Crew 12 were staffed throughout this period and CalOES funded a
portion of the prepositioned resources.
Fire Chief’s Report – May 18, 2021
Page 2
On Monday, May 3, through a series of social and traditional media activities, we
announced to our communities the official arrival of fire weather. We used this
opportunity to remind all of approaching weed abatement and defensible space
deadlines – May 16 in east County and May 26 in central and west County – and
provided guidance on how to comply with these requirements.
On April 29, a significant grassfire in south Pittsburg threatened several homes and
provided a potent reminder of the value of weed abatement and defensible space
creation, the interdependence of neighbors on each other's compliance, and the
importance of swift and overwhelming fire responses. This incident attracted
considerable attention and created a platform for further communication regarding
wildfire preparedness.
Our fire control worker program, Crew 12, officially kicked off May 1 with two weeks
of training for the 24 members, 10 of whom are returnees from last year. Training
comprises a specialized academy conducted by the Training and Safety Division.
This year, we have fielded two complete crews, doubling last year’s staffing. After
the two weeks of training, we will have seven -day-a-week staffing. Crews will be
available for spring/summer abatement projects and fire weather suppression
support assignments.
Search and Rescue K9 and handler, Bonus and
Firefighter Tony Vasta, completed their FEMA
certification early this month becoming the first K9 team
in Con Fire history. As members of Task Force 4,
Firefighter Vasta and Bonus are mission-ready to be
deployed anywhere in the Nation. Bonus is a “Live Find”
search dog, who specializes in rubble and is now
deployable throughout the County.
Facilities Update. After conducting our ribbon-cutting ceremony for the new Fire
Station 70 in San Pablo last month, we went operational in the new station, moving
all apparatus and crews into their new home on April 21. That move went very well,
and all fire operations in the City of San Pablo are now based in the new station. We
are now taking steps to turn the old FS 70 over to the City.
Communications Update. We continued to make progress this month on
infrastructure updates to our communications center adding one new universal
power supply (UPS) unit to help provide reliable and consistent back -up power. All
systems have been tested and are stable. During the installation process, some
existing wiring and loads were reconfigured so that all critical loads can be
supported by one UPS in the event of a failure. A second new UPS is expect ed to be
installed this month. To further limit the risk of loss of power, we have also installed
dual power supplies to almost every piece of equipment in the server room.
Fire Chief’s Report – May 18, 2021

Training Division Update. The month of May got off to a fast start at the Training and
Safety Division. Here are some highlights:
The District-wide Truck Company Academy began on May 1 and continues
throughout the month involving all of our truck stations and crews. Truck
companies are a specialized resource focused on forcible entry, search and
rescue, and ventilation procedures at structure fires. The first module of the
academy focused on operational functions and search techniques.
All companies are completing Wildland Fire Season preparation and safety
training this month.
Technical Rescue Training was conducted in the first half of May wi th Confined
Space, Trench, and Rescue Systems III courses. Battalion Chief Watson and
Fire Captain Brooks have been making great progress in improving our technical
and collapse rescue training areas at the Training Center, which were
instrumental in conducting this training.
All of the senior chiefs recently completed Large Incident Evacuation Training
and Planning as part of our ongoing wildland fire readiness efforts.

RE: Update on Fire Station Construction Projects
Fire Station 9 – Pacheco
The District is currently working with Capital Projects and environmental staff in
order to update and modify the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and
some National Environmental Protection Act (NEPA) components based on the new,
preferred location. The architect is also working to update the new schematic design.
Following schematic design and environmental, we will move to construction
drawings and formal FAA approval. We hope to achieve these milestones by the end
of 2021.
Fire Station 86 – Bay Point
Construction is underway. The general contractor is currently installing underground
drainage and is preparing for grading of the pad. A significant amount of dirt is being
off hauled from the site. The anticipated completion date is December 2022.
RECOMMENDATION(S):
1. OPEN the public hearing on Ordinance No. 2021-18 to revise and increase fees for fire safety
inspections, permitting of specific operations, and plan review services within the Contra Costa County Fire
Protection District, RECEIVE testimony, and CLOSE the public hearing.
2. ADOPT Ordinance No. 2021-18 to revise and increase fees for fire safety inspections, permitting of
specific operations, and plan review services within the Contra Costa County Fire Protection District.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Adoption of this Ordinance will increase the existing fire prevention fees so that they reflect the District’s
actual costs of providing the services for which they are charged. This will enable the District to continue to
recover its actual costs of providing code enforcement, permitting, inspection, plan review services, and
other services directly to the persons who pay the fees.

Subject:Hearing on Fire Prevention Fee Schedule Revisions
BACKGROUND:
The Contra Costa County Fire Protection District (District) conducts fire safety inspections, permits
specific operations, and conducts plan review services, in accordance with the California Fire Code
(CFC). The Health and Safety Code authorizes the District to charge reasonable fees in order to recover
expenses for conducting fire and life safety operations. Fire and life safety operations include annual fire
safety inspections of occupancies as required by the Health and Safety Code and the California State
Fire Marshal. Additionally, these operations include but are not limited to plan review for construction
projects and issuing permits for activities identified in the CFC (e.g., operating places of public
assembly, schools, adult and child care facilities, and the production and handling of hazardous
materials).
In 1986 the Contra Costa County Fire Protection District Board of Directors adopted a Fire Prevention
Fee Schedule for the District. Since that time, the Board has approved five increases for the purpose of
recovering the District’s costs of providing these services. The last time that the Board authorized a Fire
Prevention Fee Schedule revision was in 2018 (Ord. No. 2018-21). Previously, the Board directed staff
to revise the fee schedule on a more frequent basis (every 2-3 years) to avoid significant changes in fees.
Since 2018, costs of providing all District services have risen, due primarily to increased labor costs
associated with benefits and pensions obligations. The proposed ordinance would increase the fees to
account for these cost increases, as explained below.
Calculation of the Fire Prevention Fees
Each fee was calculated based on the actual costs of providing the service associated with the code
enforcement, inspection, plan review, or other activity. Each individual fee was calculated using actual
hourly costs for each staff position involved with providing the service associated with the fee. The
hourly personnel costs were calculated including all costs associated with the position, such as salary
and wages and benefit costs, including health care, pension, and other benefit costs. These hourly costs
are referred to as “fully burdened” costs.
The costs associated with each service (permit, inspection, plan review, etc.) are based on an hourly rate,
or fractions thereof, and are calculated using historical data regarding the amount of time required to
perform each service. In addition, costs for fuel, vehicle, equipment, office space, information
technology support and equipment was also included in the factor for full cost recovery of providing
these services.
Revenue from the fees will be used to cover the District’s actual costs of providing the services for
which the fees are charged, or for administering and enforcing provisions of the California Fire Code
and Building Codes. The fees will be paid by the persons or properties benefiting from the services for
which the fees will be charged. Services for which the fees are charged are not provided to persons or
properties that do not pay the fees.
New Fee Categories
The proposed Fire Prevention Fee Schedule also includes revisions to add two new fees based on
changes in the California Fire Code, 2019 Edition.
The 2019 California Fire Code added a new Chapter 39 regulating the processing and extraction of oils
and fats from various plants. A permit is required to operate or construct a plant extraction system
pursuant to the California Fire Code (Secs. 105.6.38 and 105.7.18, respectively). The proposed Fee
Schedule includes a new Plant Extraction System construction permit fee calculated based on two hours
of plan review and one site inspection.
The 2019 California Fire Code also requires a permit to construct a battery system or energy storage
system (Secs 105.7.2 and 105.7.3, respectively). The proposed Fee Schedule includes a new Battery
System/Energy Storage construction permit fee calculated based on one hour of plan review and one
field inspection.
Calculation of the Nuisance Fire Alarm Response Fees
The costs associated with responses and mitigation of nuisance fire alarms is authorized pursuant to the
California Fire Code (Sec. 401.5.1) as adopted and amended by Ordinance 2019-37. These fees were
calculated using actual personnel costs for staff associated with a typical response to a fire alarm
incident as well as actual costs for fire prevention personnel assigned to respond to the occupancy and
resolve the nuisance alarm. These costs were then applied to the average amount of time required for an
emergency response to a fire alarm incident and one hour of personnel time for fire prevention personnel
for follow-up and inspection at the premise.
Revenue from these fees will be used to cover the District’s actual costs of responding to nuisance fire
alarms. These fees cover the District’s reasonable regulatory costs to enforce the provisions of the
California Fire Code.
Comparison to Other Jurisdictions
Other fire jurisdictions were polled with respect to their Fire Prevention Fee Schedules. A total of twelve
(12) other fire agencies throughout the Bay Area and Sacramento were surveyed for their fire prevention
fee structures for a rank order comparison. These agencies include the San Francisco Fire Department,
Berkeley Fire Department, San Mateo Fire Department, Sacramento Metropolitan Fire District,
Hayward Fire Department, Vallejo Fire Department, Santa Clara City Fire Department, San Jose Fire
Department, Vacaville Fire Department, San Ramon Valley Fire Protection District, Richmond Fire
Department, and Sacramento City Fire Department. In this latest survey, the District’s fees ranked fourth
in order of fees charged for the services provided.
With Board approval, the new fee schedule will have rates that are within the range of rates charged in
other fire jurisdictions for services similar to those provided by the District.
For these reasons, District staff recommends that the Board adopt Ordinance No. 2021-18, to increase
the District’s current fire prevention fees. District staff caused a notice of intention to be published, and
notice to be given, in the manner required by Health and Safety Code section 13916.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If the Board does not adopt this Ordinance, the District’s existing fire prevention fees would remain in
effect and would not increase. Consequently, the District would not recover its actual costs of providing
the services for which the fees are charged. District general fund revenues would need to be used to pay
the difference between the amount of the current fee and the actual cost of providing the service for
which the fee is charged. This would result in a decrease in the amount of general fund revenues
available for conducting emergency response activities, which would have negative public health and
safety impacts.

FIRE DISTRICT NUISANCE FIRE ALARM
OPERATING COSTS
Emergency Apparatus Response
Attachment 4
Current Fire District policy is to respond one emergency apparatus to every reported
alarm sounding. This change in policy from requiring two apparatus to respond on all
initial fire alarms was a result of the extremely high percentage of nuisance fire alarm
calls coupled with limited emergency resources available within the Fire District.
The average single apparatus response time from report of alarm to clearing the incident
is approximately 20 minutes per response.
Fire Apparatus Equipment (1500 GPM – Type I Engine) hourly rate $ 140.00
Engine/Truck Company Personnel Costs (3 person crew Firefighter/Engineer/Captain)
Hourly rate per crew (salary/benefits/personnel costs) $ 286.29
Hourly rate for 1 Engine/Truck company including personnel $ 426.29
Fractional cost based on 20-minute commitment: $414.08 per hour x .33 $ 140.68
Cost of one (1) apparatus per response (20 minutes) $ 140.68
Cost follow-up Fire Prevention personnel (one hour) $ 316.59
Total cost per false alarm response $ 457.27
Rounded to $ 457.00
The California Fire Code, as locally amended by the current Fire District Ordinance No.
2019-37, authorizes the Fire District to charge a fee for nuisance fire alarms, as follows:
401.5.1 Nuisance Fire Alarm Fee. A fee may be charged for false and/or nuisance
fire alarms in accordance with a fee schedule adopted by the Board of Directors.

RECOMMENDATION(S):
ADOPT Resolution No. 2021/4, which supersedes Resolution No. 2020/6, regarding compensation and
benefits for unrepresented fire safety management classifications in the Contra Costa County Fire
Protection District.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The fiscal impact is anticipated to be neutral. The total cost of providing personnel and equipment to
statewide mutual aid incidents and pre-positioning requests is normally fully recovered through the
California Fire Assistance Agreement process. It is not anticipated this will result in an increased cost,
however there are circumstances where costs incurred in a particular fiscal year may not be reimbursed to
the District until the following fiscal year due to reimbursement processing timelines from the Governor’s
Office of Emergency Services.
BACKGROUND:
It is becoming the norm in the California fire service to deploy senior chief officers for long-term incidents
within an operational area and increasingly throughout the state in support of the mutual aid system. The
reality of a weaker statewide mutual aid system since the Great Recession, coupled with record hot fire
seasons, drought, and the myriad of now “largest ever” fires year after year has resulted in the need for
individual agencies to provide assistance, if they can, to an extent we haven’t experienced before. There are

Subject:Contra Costa County Fire Management Resolution No. 2021/4 which Supersedes Resolution No. 2020/6
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
fewer resources available for increased large fire activity throughout the state and we are all being asked
to provide as much support to the system as possible. This often results in sending our unrepresented fire
management personnel to fill overhead positions due to a lack of resource availability throughout the
Contra Costa operational area and, indeed, throughout the state.
The District, through the California Fire Assistance Agreement (CFAA) receives reimbursement for the
direct hourly costs of each position we send on a mutual aid assignment, plus an additional 10%
administrative charge.
To allow for special circumstance overtime, the Management Resolution for the Contra Costa County
Fire Protection District has been modified in the following ways:
Sections 1.15 - No Overtime Pay, Holiday Pay, or Comp Time and 9.10 - Overtime
Exempt Exclusion were modified to allow for the new special circumstance
overtime.
1.
Section 9.12 - Special Circumstance Overtime Compensation was added to allow for
special circumstance overtime. This new pay will apply to all employees listed in the
resolution and will be straight time pay for hours worked above the normal work
hours in certain limited circumstances.
2.
The remainder of Section 9 was renumbered accordingly.3.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Unrepresented safety management employees would not be eligible to be compensated for work beyond
their normal working hours while assigned to significant incidents, prepositioning requests, and
statewide mutual aid incidents requiring 24-hour work cycles with commitments often ranging from 7 to
14 days.

any District dental plan, provided that (I) he or she begins to receive a
monthly retirement allowance from CCCERA within 120 days of
separation from District employment and (ii) he or she pays the full
premium cost under the chosen dental plan without any District premium
subsidy. For purposes of retiree dental eligibility, one year of service is

guaranteed issue, provided the election is made within the required
enrollment periods.
2.20 Premium Payments: Employee participation in any dental or life insurance
plan is contingent upon the employee authorizing payroll deduction by the
District of the employee’s share of the premium cost. The District’s
subsidy to the dental and life insurance premium is payable monthly. If an
employee’s compensation in any month (including during a leave of

the extent provided by the COBRA laws and regulations.
2.23 Rate Information: The County-Benefits Service Unit will make dental plan

BACKGROUND:
The District owns the property located on Goble Drive in Bay Point and also known as APN
091-030-0123 (Property). On October 13, 2020, this Board approved the design of a new Fire Station 86

to convey permanent easements to Golden State Water Company, a regulated public utility. Golden State
Water Company will use the easement areas to install their waterline and backflow devices and access
their facilities for future maintenance. To ensure that the project can proceed as planned, District staff
recommend approving the conveyance of the easements.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Golden State Water Company would not have the necessary land rights to install their facilities and bring
water service to the new Fire Station 86.

3. No Gift or Dedication. Nothing contained in this Easement Agreement shall be
deemed to be a gift or dedication of any portion of the Property to or for the general public or for
any public use or purpose whatsoever, it being the intention of the parties that the Easement and
rights granted in this Easement Agreement shall be strictly limited to and for the purposes herein
expressed with respect to private property solely for the benefit of the parties and their respective
tenants, invitees and licensees.
4. Mortgagee Protection. No breach or violation of this Easement Agreement or of
the restrictions provided herein shall render invalid the lien of any mortgage, deed of trust or

effective against any subsequent owner (including any mortgagee or beneficiary under a deed of
trust) who acquires title to the Property or any portion thereof, by foreclosure, trustee’s sale, deed
in lieu of foreclosure, or otherwise.
5. Relocation and Abandonment. Grantee shall have the right in its sole discretion

be invalid, illegal or unenforceable for any reason, the parties hereto agree to the fullest extent
permitted by law that (a) the validity, legality and enforceability of the other provisions shall not
be affected or impaired thereby and (b) the parties hereto shall endeavor in good faith negotiations
to replace the invalid or unenforceable provisions with valid and enforceable provisions, the
economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid or unenforceable
provisions.
10. Remedies. In the event of any breach or threatened breach of any provision of this
Easement Agreement, the parties hereto may prosecute any proceedings at law or in equity to
3
enjoin such breach or threatened breach and to recover damages for any such breach. The remedies

counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which when taken together shall
constitute one and the same instrument. The signature page of any counterpart may be detached
therefrom without impairing the legal effect of the signature(s) thereon provided such signature
page is attached to any other counterpart identical thereto except having additional signature pages
