Subject:AUTHORIZE the Public Works Director, or designee, to register a "yes" vote on the East Contra Costa Fire
Protection District Benefit Assessment Ballot
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
assessment ballot, which would generate $4.3 million annually for the Fire District over a five (5) year period. In
early March 2015, an engineer's report was issued by NBS, a consultant retained by the Fire District, which found
that amount of special benefit to all parcels related to the proposed service expansion was equal to $4.3 million
per year. The expanded service level assumes a model of five fire stations (Station Nos. 52, 59, 93, 54 and 94),
including 48 operational personnel and two (2) administrative staff. This model also contemplates staffing of Cal
Fire personnel at the Sunshine Station during non-fire season.
Today's action authorizes the Public Works Director, or designee, to register a "yes" vote, sign and return benefit
assessment ballots, on behalf of Contra Costa County and the Contra Costa County Flood Control District, to the
East Contra Costa Fire Protection District no later than April 22, 2015 for parcels identified in Exhibits A and B.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Each property owner in the East Contra Costa Fire Protection District has the right to vote on the East County
Emergency Fire Response and Prevention Assessment. Failure to approve this action would give up Contra Costa
County’s, the Redevelopment Successor Agency’s, the Flood Control District’s, and Fire Protection District’s
right to vote on this assessment.
CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:
No impact.
