ACCEPT an oral report outlining the fiscal year 2012/13 Contra Costa County Fire
Protection District Recommended Budget.
FISCAL IMPACT:
None. This report is for informational purposes only.
BACKGROUND:
The Fire District has attempted to keep all of the fire stations open during these challenging
fiscal times in an effort to provide emergency services. The District has reduced expenses
and utilized reserve funds in order to maintain service levels. However, the reserve funds
are rapidly being depleted and will be exhausted in fiscal year 2012-13. In January 2011,
one functional unit was de-staffed in Walnut Creek. The 2012/13 Recommended Budget
indicates that another functional unit has to be de-staffed to balance the budget. Further
service delivery reductions, modifications and station closures will be imminent if additional
revenue is not obtained during the upcoming budget period.
