Adopt Resolution No. 2021/5, approving the side letter agreement between the Contra Costa County Fire
District and the International Association of Firefighters, Local 1230 (IAFF, Local 1230) amending the
parties' Memorandum of Understanding to allow supervisors of the Fire Control Worker Program to receive
a temporary staff assignment differential, effective June 1, 2021.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Employees in this temporary assignment will be eligible to receive a pay differential of fifteen percent
(15%) of their base pay for the applicable 40-hour work week. Actual cost will vary by use/assignment.
BACKGROUND:
The Contra Costa County Fire District established its Fire Control Worker Program in 2020. Under
immediate supervision, the program utilizes Fire Control Worker employees to perform a variety of fire
hazard mitigation activities. Such activities include identifying and eliminating fire hazards, educating the
public, and responding to vegetation fires. Section 5.18 currently lists which classifications may provide the
necessary supervision for the program. While serving in this temporary capacity, the expanded temporary
assignment differential will provide these classifications with a fifteen percent (15%) differential in

•The analysis from Phase I preliminarily determined that annexation of
ECCFPD is feasible and viable for CCCFPD.
•Phase II of the study was authorized by CCCFPD, ECCFPD, and RHFPD. The
intent is to conduct a study for a potential annexation of the East Contra Costa
Fire Protection District (ECCFPD) and the Rodeo-Hercules Fire Protection
District (RHFPD) into the Contra Costa County Fire Protection District
(CCCFPD).
•Phase II is a comprehensive five (5) year forecast of financial, operational, and
feasibility analysis of these annexations. Phase II includes Contra Costa

CONTRA COSTA COUNTY FIRE PROTECTION DISTRICT
FIRE • RESCUE • EMS
PRELIMINARY FINDINGS
CCCFPD SPECIFIC
•CCCFPD is a large, well-funded all-risk fire department.
•CCCFPD has a stable and growing revenue stream.
•CCCFPD's processes for funding facility remodeling and new fire stations will
streamline the process of improvements throughout the annexed service areas.
6
CONTRA COSTA COUNTY FIRE PROTECTION DISTRICT
FIRE • RESCUE • EMS
PRELIMINARY FINDINGS -ECCFPD SPECIFIC
•ECCFPD has previously experienced a significant reduction in funding due to an economic downturn,
resulting in a decrease in staffing and the closure of fire stations.
•ECCFPD cannot meet the increased call load in the communities served with existing personnel and
equipment levels without relying on mutual aid and automatic aid agencies.
•ECCFFD struggles to create a sustainable funding system that will provide adequate services and
response times to serve the communities properly. ECCFPD is experiencing some level of revenue
growth.
•ECCFPD is projected to receive over $500,000 annually from development fee revenues.
•All existing ECCFPD personnel will be absorbed into CCCFPD. The potential annexations will not result
in layoffs.
•The combined organization contemplates adding personnel for specific expansion of services in FY 21/22
with the re-opening of an unstaffed station (Oakley) and the staffing of a ladder company at an existing
station (Brentwood).
•Annexation will result in the implementation of Advanced Life Support (Paramedic) level service on
ECCFPD apparatus.7
CONTRA COSTA COUNTY FIRE PROTECTION DISTRICT
FIRE • RESCUE • EMS
PRELIMINARY FINDINGS -RHFPD SPECIFIC
•RHFPD is a smaller district that has seen growth in property value but has experienced a projected
(budgeted) decline in property tax revenues.
•Property tax revenues continue to be negatively impacted by the dissolution of redevelopment agencies
and the continued property development within the City of Hercules Redevelopment Area. This impact will
continue until 2025 when the recognized obligation payments of the redevelopment agency and its
successor are extinguished.
•RHFPD cannot meet the increased call load in the communities served with existing personnel and
equipment levels without relying on mutual aid and automatic aid agencies.
•RHFPD Measure O and the Benefit Assessment District funds will continue to be committed to funding
services within the RHFPD service area.
•RHFPD and CCCFPD share battalion chief coverage in Battalion 7. RHFPD has minimal administrative
support.
•All existing RHFPD personnel that desire to do so will be absorbed into CCCFPD. The potential
annexations will not result in layoffs.

CONTRA COSTA COUNTY FIRE PROTECTION DISTRICT
FIRE • RESCUE • EMS
PRELIMINARY FINDINGS –ALL AGENCIES
•All three districts currently participate in a regional communications center. An opportunity
exists to reduce operating and administrative costs through the proposed annexation while
increasing service levels significantly.
•There are no deployment-related impediments to annexation.
•Combined projected recurring revenues are sufficient to provide for the combined projected
recurring expenses and anticipated expansion of services in CCCFPD and ECCFPD
through the fiscal projection period identified in the project scope of work (five years).
•Funding exists through existing reserves and future development fees, and other non -
recurring revenue to provide for fire station construction, apparatus acquisition, and debt
service on existing obligations on a combined basis through the fiscal projection period
identified in the project scope of work.
•Annexation will enhance and standardize training throughout the area.
•Annexation is projected to result in cost savings due to combining technology infrastructure,
fleet maintenance, and other administrative functions. 9
CONTRA COSTA COUNTY FIRE PROTECTION DISTRICT
FIRE • RESCUE • EMS
PRELIMINARY FINDINGS –ALL AGENCIES
•Command and Control of multi-company incidents will be improved as a result of
annexation.
•Annexation will enhance and standardize public education outreach.
•Each fire district has a comprehensive and extensive training program; however,
training emphasis was inconsistent between organizations.
•There appear to be minimal differences between the three organizations relating
to specific fire prevention code enforcement.
•Combined projected reserve balances never fall below 35% ($76,000,000)
through the fiscal projection period identified in the project scope of work.

FIRE • RESCUE • EMS
PRELIMINARY FINDINGS –OTHER
•On November 3, 2020, voters throughout the county approved Measure X
authorizing an additional county-wide sales tax of 0.5% for 20 years. Per the
measure's language, the intent was to support essential services, including
emergency response and others.

FIRE • RESCUE • EMS
PHASE II PRELIMINARY RESULTS
•As stated at the May 2021 update, and as of this presentation, there are still
no indications that there are any financial, operational, or organizational
findings that would prevent the recommendation in July to continue to move
forward with the annexation process.

daily from June 1 through October 31. The engine will be housed at Fire Station 81
in Antioch as a second crew and identified as “Engine 300.”
Fireworks continue to present a significant challenge to the protection of life and
property. Following the Board of Supervisors’ approval of the new, strengthened
fireworks ordinance on June 8, Con Fire hosted a joint law and fire media event
designed to reinforce fireworks dangers and highlight enforcement efforts. District
Attorney Diana Becton and several police agencies participated. The event was
covered by every Bay Area television station, KCBS Radio, and several print outlets
including the East Bay Times. Our public education efforts will continue through the
Independence Day holiday weekend.
On Memorial Day, a fireworks-caused fire in Antioch resulted in the destruction of
eight apartments in two buildings and the displacement of some 40 residents. A swift
and overwhelming response prevented the fire’s spread to remaining complex
buildings. Investigation revealed the fire was caused by a single pyrotechnic device
thrown into grass behind the complex by a paroled felon who was also in possession
of additional fireworks and a firearm. The suspect was arrested by Con Fire
investigators and transported to Martinez Detention Facility by Antioch Police.
Plans to deploy the new ladder truck at Fire Station 70 in San Pablo are moving
ahead with an expected go-live date sometime in early July. This will replace the
two-person EMS squad. Funding for two positions on the ladder truck will continue
to be supported directly by the City of San Pablo through their sales tax measure.
AB 389 Update. This bill passed the State Assembly earlier this month and now
goes to a Senate subcommittee for a hearing. The bill would authorize a county to
contract for emergency ambulance services with a fire protection d istrict that is
governed by the county’s Board of Supervisors and provides those services, in
whole or in part, through a written subcontract with a private ambulance service .

Fire District Annexation Feasibility Study Update. After today’s presentation outlining
preliminary study findings, we expect to be able to schedule a presentation by
contractor AP Triton of the final report at the July 13 Board meeting.
COVID-19 Update. After a relatively quiet period, we experienced two exposures
earlier this month. Fortunately, one of the three employees involved was fully
vaccinated and was able to remain on duty. Two had not been vaccinated and
exhibited symptoms. As a result, they were taken off duty and placed on leave.
These exposures served as a reminder of the need for continued vigilance even as
we move to greater normalcy.
As of this writing, we are monitoring the situation regarding changes to masking and
other protective measures relative to COVID-19 and preparing to make changes, as
necessary.
Ambulance Transport Update. Emergency ambulance transports have almost
returned to pre-pandemic levels and are currently at 95% of historical averages.
Zonehaven Evacuation System Update. This important project, which will
significantly improve fire and law agencies’ ability to plan, organize and conduct
evacuations across the County, continues to progress. Initial planning meetings are
being scheduled with our city law partners and the software provider to establish
particular evacuation zones and egress routes for neighborhoods.
Fire Investigation Unit Update. Our fire investigators have made multiple arson
arrests within the past four weeks which all involved exterior fires or grass fires being
intentionally set. In addition, our investigators conducted a buy/bust of fireworks in
the city of Pittsburg in early June. The original “buy” led them to two additional
residences in the city of Pittsburg. Several thousand dollars’ worth of fireworks were
confiscated at each residence.
The NuStar fire investigation report was made public and discussed at the May 25
Industrial Safety Committee of the Board of Supervisors. Other presentations have
been requested for the CAER Safety Summit and the County Hazardous Materials
Commission. I would like to thank the fire investigation unit, our fire prevention
bureau, and the other agencies involved in this lengthy and complex investigation.

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 progressing. The footings have been poured, and the concrete block
walls are being constructed. In the coming weeks, the utilities under the building will
be installed in preparation for the slab to be poured. The anticipated completion date
remains December 2022.

recommended budget, this action also reallocates funding from the Fire Station 9 and 86 projects (which
are reimbursable through bond revenue) to the Fire Station 70 project, which was intended to be funded
by District general fund balance and reimbursements from the City of San Pablo.

BACKGROUND:
The Contra Costa County Fire Protection District (District) is charged with fighting wildland fires as part of
its primary mission of providing fire protection. The apparatus used for fighting wildland fires is
specialized and requires a configuration and specifications not common to the typical municipal fire
department pumper. The apparatus used for fighting wildland fires require four-wheel drive, a short wheel
base, the ability to carry a supply of specialized wildland firefighting equipment, and interior seating
capacity for up to four firefighters.
Type 5 engines have a lower center of gravity and lower overall profile enabling the vehicle to access areas
otherwise not accessible. They have

encompasses 14 dispatch consoles, offices, server rooms, dorms, bathrooms and a kitchen. The current

better leverage new technologies and equipment.
The Contra Costa County Fire Protection District (District) moved its administrative offices from 2010
Geary Road in Pleasant Hill to a new location in Concord. The District plans to complete a major renovation
of the old administrative facility at 2010 Geary Road in Pleasant Hill to house the CCRFCC dispatch center
to modernize the facility and allow for future contracted agency and call for service growth.
Contractor is a consulting firm with extensive experience in emergency dispatch communication systems,
including wireless communications, technology, networks and 911, and facilities and operations. Contractor
