From:Lewis Broschard, Chief, Contra Costa County Fire Protection District
Report Title:Resolution of Application for the Annexation of the Rodeo-Hercules Fire Protection District
☒Recommendation of the County Administrator ☐ Recommendation of Board Committee
RECOMMENDATIONS:
1. ADOPT Resolution No. 2024-10, a resolution of application to the Contra Costa Local Agency Formation
Commission (LAFCO) requesting that LAFCO initiate proceedings for the annexation of the Rodeo-Hercules
Fire Protection District (RHFPD) into the Contra Costa County Fire Protection District (District), and to
transfer all of the assets, rights, and responsibilities of the RHFPD to the District as the successor agency.
2. APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Fire Chief, or designee, to submit to LAFCO an application for the
annexation of the RHFPD and a plan for providing services within the territory of the reorganized District, and
to provide any additional data and information as may be required by LAFCO pertaining to the annexation of
the RHFPD.
3. AUTHORIZE the Fire Chief, or designee, to execute an indemnification agreement between the District and
LAFCO substantially in the form of agreement attached hereto as Attachment A.
4. FIND that the annexation of the RHFPD into the District is exempt from the California Environmental
Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to 14 CCR 15320 (Class 20): the changes in the organization or reorganization of
local governmental agencies do not change the geographical area in which previously existing powers are
exercised; and DIRECT the Fire Chief, or designee, to file a Notice of Exemption with the County Clerk and
the State Clearinghouse in the Office of Planning and Research.
CONTRA COSTA COUNTY Printed on 8/8/2024Page 1 of 7

D.2
File #:FPD-RES 2024-10,Version:1
5. DIRECT the Fire Chief, or designee, to arrange for (i) the $6,530 application fee to LAFCO, (ii) the $2,060
sphere of influence review fee to LAFCO, (iii) $50 handling fee reimbursement to LAFCO for the filing of
their Notice of Exemption, (iv) a $50 handling fee to the County Clerk for the filing of the CEQA Notice of
Exemption.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The immediate fiscal impact related to today's action is $8,590 filing fees due to LAFCO, and $100 in filing
and handling fees related to the Notice of Exemption. Based on the fiscal analysis completed by AP Triton in
their “Fire District Annexation Feasibility Study” (July, 2021, pp. 155-163) and the subsequent fiscal analysis
completed by the District included in the current Plan for Service, the fiscal impact of annexation is anticipated
to be positive, providing funding for replenishment of reserve balances used to pay down the RHFPD pension
unfunded liability, over the five-year projection period. For the first full year of combined operations, expected
to be FY 2025/2026, the total revenue available from the RHFPD service area is estimated at $10.3 million with
anticipated expenses for personnel and services within the same service area at $9.75 million. (100% Fire
District General Fund)
BACKGROUND:
In December 2020, an annexation study was commissioned to determine the feasibility of annexing either or
both the East Contra Costa Fire Protection District (“ECCFPD”) and the Rodeo-Hercules Fire Protection
District (“RHFPD”). The study was concluded and presented to the governing bodies of all three fire
protection districts in mid-July by an external consultant group who compiled the study. The study concluded
annexation was feasible and recommended that Contra Costa County Fire Protection District (“CCCFPD”)
pursue the annexation of both the other fire districts. The Board of Directors for each district received the
consultant’s report in mid-July, 2021. On August 12, 2021, the CCCFPD received a written request from the
RHFPD Fire Chief to remove RHFPD from consideration in the current annexation process pursuant to
direction from the RHFPD Board of Directors. In the time since the annexation withdrawal by the RHFPD, the
RHFPD Board of Directors commissioned a strategic planning process to determine the options available for
the sustainability of the RHFPD. Ultimately, the RHFPD determined annexation into the CCCFPD was the
most suitable and sustainable option for continuation of services to the public.
Additional findings and recommendations of the 2020 consolidation study confirmed by the ongoing evaluative
process undertaken by RHFPD include:
·RHFPD is a smaller district that has seen growth in property value with moderate increases in property
tax revenue which are being outpaced by expenses leaving a forecasted ongoing structural deficit in the
near future.
·Property tax revenues continue to be negatively impacted by the dissolution of redevelopment agencies
(RDA) and the continued property development within the City of Hercules Redevelopment Area.
However, RDA pass-through revenue to RHFPD has increased.
·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 has no capacity to support extended operations within its jurisdiction.
·RHFPD has little to no ability to upstaff and provide corresponding logistical support for surge capacity
CONTRA COSTA COUNTY Printed on 8/8/2024Page 2 of 7
powered by Legistar™
File #:FPD-RES 2024-10,Version:1
during large scale events.
·Parcel owners within RHFPD pay three parcel taxes that are unique to the territory; Measure O and two
Benefit Assessment District funds that are in addition to the ad valorem property tax.
·RHFPD Measure O and the RHFPD Benefit Assessment District funds will continue to be committed to
funding services within the RHFPD service area post consolidation.
·RHFPD and CCCFPD share battalion chief coverage as Battalion 7; without which RHFPD would be
unable to provide oversight, command and control functions required for responses beyond a single
unit.
·RHFPD has little to no administrative support for human resources, firefighter training, fleet
maintenance, facilities, public education, or business intelligence/special project management.
·Inadequate training support and oversight at RHFPD has resulted in decreased firefighter and civilian
safety, an increase in exposure to legal and regulatory risks, inadequate organizational depth and an
inability to meet succession planning needs.
·The RHFPD’s vegetation management program is in its infancy and is very limited.
·With very minimal ability to perform fire investigation, RHFPD has become reliant upon mutual aid
from CCCFPD to subsidize fire investigations.
·RHFPD has no watercraft or ability to perform water rescue beyond minimal shore based efforts.
·Most policies and standard operating procedures are at least a decade old, no longer relevant, or, in
many cases, non-existent.
·With the exception of the Fire Chief, all existing full-time RHFPD personnel that desire to do so will be
absorbed into CCCFPD. The potential annexations will not result in layoffs.
In February 2022, the RHFPD Board of Directors contracted with Fitch & Associates to provide a facilitated,
community-driven, strategic plan as well as a Fire Administration Analysis. The final documents were
presented and accepted by the RHFPD Board in October 2022.
The Strategic Plan 2022-2027 for RHFPD included the following findings and recommendations:
·Need to improve turnout time
·Need to improve fire prevention inspection and reporting processes
·Develop a Standards of Cover (SOC) document
·Explore a contract for service or consolidation with a larger fire agency
·Provide liability reduction training to all employees and board members
·Develop and maintain a two-year training plan
·Update succession planning/professional development policies
·Develop a system to review/update policies every three years
·Explore the value of mobile fire mechanic service
·Develop a community engagement plan
·Identify cost efficient measures to maintain or improve ISO protection class
·Provide fire safety education to all elementary schools and develop a junior safety group
·Partner with the high school to provide students community service opportunities at the fire stations
·Partner with local community colleges to provide fire trainee opportunities
·Develop a Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) cadre
In July 2023, the RHFPD Board of Directors contracted with retired fire chief Micheal Despain (DBA: M.E.D.
Enterprises Inc.) to provide assistance with developing a process to implement the strategic plan (completed in
October 2022) and provide an independent review of the RHFPD long-term sustainability.
CONTRA COSTA COUNTY Printed on 8/8/2024Page 3 of 7
powered by Legistar™
File #:FPD-RES 2024-10,Version:1
From July 2023 to December 2023, Chief Despain conducted an analysis of the agency, which included a
recommended sequence of action items to provide the most efficient implementation of the agency’s strategic
plan. During this same time, at the direction of the Board, Chief Despain solicited the following agencies to
determine if there was any interested in a possible contract for service: Alameda County Fire Department,
Berkeley Fire Department, CALFIRE (SCU), Contra Costa County Fire Protection District, Crockett Carquinez
Fire Department, El Cerrito-Kensington Fire Department, and Richmond Fire Department. Of these listed
agencies, El Cerrito-Kensington Fire Department and CAL FIRE (SCU) were the only agencies that indicated
they were willing to entertain a deeper discussion on the proposal and had experience working with other fire
agencies.
In December 2023, Chief Despain provided a summary of findings from the analysis of the long-term
sustainability options for the RHFPD. The analysis demonstrated a significant lack of administrative and
support staff that was placing the RHFPD in significant and growing risk of legal and regulatory liability. The
report also reflected approximately $1 million in service subsidies from the CCCFPD. The solutions available
to the RHFPD included an option to seek approximately $1.5 to $2.0 million in additional revenue to cover the
support staff and/or outsourcing costs to maintain the RHFPD in its current independent configuration. A
second option was to seek out a contract for service with another adjacent public safety agency. A final option
was to request annexation of the RHFPD into the CCCFPD. At the direction of the RHFPD Board, staff was
directed to initiate a process to seek out a possible contract for service, as well as review the process necessary
to pursue a possible annexation.
During the month of March 2024, the RHFPD distributed a Request for Proposal (RFP) process to formally
engage in a possible contract for fire services. The RFP was distributed statewide to increase the possible pool
of public safety entities. However, at the conclusion of this process, no public agencies responded. Staff also
met with the fire chief of CCCFPD and a representative of the Contra Costa County LAFCo to review the
processes and steps required for annexation.
The findings of both of these assignments were presented to the RHFPD Board in April 2024. At the
conclusion of the April 2024 special meeting, the RHFPD Board directed staff to begin formal discussions with
CCCFPD to ascertain financial, personnel, and service delivery impacts for the proposed annexation.
During the month of June 2024, the RHFPD hosted two Town Hall meetings. The first meeting was hosted on
June 18, 2024, at 6:00 p.m. at the City of Hercules - Council Chambers. The second meeting was hosted on
June 29, 2024 at 9:00 a.m. at Rodeo Hills Elementary School. Both meetings provided opportunities for
community members to attend virtually or in person.
During the Town Hall meetings, online surveys were opened up for those attending (online or in person). These
two surveys were closed and locked at the end of each respective Town Hall meeting. A third survey was
opened for the community through the RHFPD website and it was opened from June 18, 2024 through July 1,
2024. The surveys showed support for the annexation from those who participated.
The Board of Directors of the RHFPD approved a resolution of application to initiate the annexation process at
special meeting on July 31, 2024.
Rodeo-Hercules Fire Protection District History and Current Operations
In 1937, the Rodeo Fire District (RFD) was established to provide fire protection for Rodeo’s unincorporated
community. The City of Hercules was annexed into RFD in 1978 and the name of the District was changed to
CONTRA COSTA COUNTY Printed on 8/8/2024Page 4 of 7
powered by Legistar™
File #:FPD-RES 2024-10,Version:1
the Rodeo-Hercules Fire Protection District (RHFPD).
The District encompasses an area of approximately 32 square miles. The District estimates a population of
approximately 35,254 persons.
RHFPD is a multi-hazard (not all-hazards) fire district providing traditional structural fire protection, wildland
firefighting, first responder advanced life-support medical response (FRALS), technical rescue (auto
extrication, high angle and low-angle rescue, and shore based water rescue). The District deploys its apparatus
and personnel from two fire stations and has an ISO PPC® rating of 2/2.
The District also provides code enforcement, fire inspections, plan reviews, fire cause investigations, and public
education and prevention programs.
RHFPD Organizational Structure
RHFPD employs 22 full-time and one part-time prevention personnel. The Fire Chief also serves as the
District’s Fire Marshal and supervises a civilian contractor Fire Inspector. Operations are divided into three
shifts (A, B, and C) with two Captains, two Engineers, and two Firefighters assigned to each. Each shift and
station have at least one Paramedic assigned. An RHFPD Battalion Chief supervises the operations personnel
assigned to A Shift. The CCCFPD provides two BC’s for both B and C Shift through an automatic aid
agreement. The support the agreement provides is operational for responses and does not offer support for
facilities, training, personnel, logistics, among other things.
Annexation Study
As was explained above, the December 2020 annexation study concluded that the annexation of RHFPD was
feasible and recommended that CCCFPD annex RHFPD. The findings of that study remain unchanged and are
supported by the subsequent strategic planning process undertaken by the RHFPD, as discussed above. The
fiscal impact of annexation is anticipated to be positive, providing funding for replenishment of reserve
balances used to pay down the RHFPD pension unfunded liability, over the five-year projection period.
Proposal for Annexation
The District will request the annexation of the RHFPD be taken pursuant to the Cortese-Knox-Hertzberg Local
Government Reorganization Act of 2000, Division 3, commencing with Section 56000 of the California
Government Code for annexation, by the District, of the territory within the RHFPD.
The District will further request that, under the Contra Costa Local Agency Formation Commission’s (LAFCO)
conditioning powers under Government Code section 56886, the annexation of the RHFPD be subject to the
following terms and conditions:
a.Successor Agency. Upon and after the date of recording in the official records of Contra Costa
County of LAFCO’s final and complete approval of the dissolution of the Rodeo-Hercules Fire
Protection District and the District’s assumption of the duties and obligations of the Rodeo-Hercules
Fire Protection District (the “Effective Date”), the District shall be the successor to the of the Rodeo-
Hercules Fire Protection District. All rights, responsibilities, properties, contracts, assets and liabilities,
and functions of the Rodeo-Hercules Fire Protection District are to be transferred to the Contra Costa
Fire Protection District as the successor to the Rodeo-Hercules Fire Protection District.
b.Employees. From and after the Effective Date, all permanent full-time employees of the dissolved
Rodeo-Hercules Fire Protection District, with the exception of the Fire Chief, shall become employees
CONTRA COSTA COUNTY Printed on 8/8/2024Page 5 of 7
powered by Legistar™
File #:FPD-RES 2024-10,Version:1
of the District.
c.Retiree Health. From and after the Effective Date, all retirees of the Rodeo-Hercules Fire Protection
shall receive the same health care subsidy as they received prior to annexation.
d.Duties. The District, as the successor agency, shall function under and carry out all authorized duties
and responsibilities assigned to a Fire Protection District as outlined in the Division 12, Part 2.7,
Chapter 1, Health & Safety Code, the Fire Protection District Law of 1987 (commencing with Section
13800) and other applicable laws.
e.Revenue Transfer. Before LAFCO issues the Certificate of Filing for the reorganization (Revenue
and Taxation Code Section 99(b)(6), the Board of Directors of the District shall commence and
complete a property tax transfer process to be effective prior to issuance of the LAFCO Certificate of
Filing, and take all other required steps to transfer from the Rodeo-Hercules Fire Protection District to
the District all income, from taxes or any other source, for which there is a continuing right to tax
distribution, or historical distribution or allocation of funds, including but not limited to Contra Costa
County EMS Measure H funds, Rodeo-Hercules Fire Protection District Measure O funds,
redevelopment agency dissolution pass-through funds, and all benefit assessment funds. All previously
authorized charges, fees, assessments, and/or taxes currently in effect, levied, or collected by the Rodeo
-Hercules Fire Protection District, including through municipal and county development impact fees
and community facilities districts, shall continue to be levied, collected, tracked, expended, and
administered by the Contra Costa County Fire Protection District, as successor agency, in accordance
with the authorizing actions of such financial mechanisms.
f.Oversight; Advisory Commission. The composition of the District Board of Directors shall remain
unchanged. The composition of the Contra Costa County Fire Protection District Advisory Fire
Commission shall be adjusted to ensure that at least one member of the Advisory Fire Commission is a
resident of land currently within the service area of the Rodeo-Hercules Fire Protection District for a
period of at least five years from the date of annexation.
g.Oversight; Measure O. The District Board of Directors shall reestablish the Measure O Oversight
Committee as a committee of the Board of Directors, and the District Board of Directors will appoint
members to the committee. The oversight committee shall consist entirely of residents of the territory
of the former Rodeo-Hercules Fire Protection District in accordance with the text of Measure O, and
the ordinance that enacted Measure O.

District had in the lands in its respective territory immediately prior to the reorganization. Those rights
run with the land and will become District rights as the successor.
i.Use of Funds. The District will ensure all funds received from Measure O, benefit assessments,
development impact fees, and community facilities districts derived from the territories of the
former Rodeo-Hercules Fire Protection District are accounted for and expended within the
geographic areas they were derived from, in compliance with applicable statutes and regulations.

District prior to expending those funds.
k.Fire Station 76. The District shall have access to operate the facility with at least the same covenants
contained in the existing lease agreement between the Rodeo-Hercules Fire Protection District and the
City of Hercules.
The annexation of the RHFPD into the District will enable the reorganized district to better meet the emergency
fire, rescue, and medical service needs of the residents of the District, as described in the Service Plan attached
hereto as Attachment B. Ultimately, this request is in the best interest of the residents served in the communities
of Rodeo and Hercules and the most efficient use of taxpayer dollars.
As a condition of filing the application with LAFCO, the District is required to indemnify LAFCO from and
against any claims that arise from the LAFCO proceeding. LAFCO’s form indemnity agreement is attached to
this staff report and the agreement signed by the Fire Chief, or designee, will be substantially similar to that
form agreement.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
The application seeking annexation of the Rodeo-Hercules Fire Protection District will not be filed.

Executive Summary
The proposed annexation will provide consistent emergency response for the areas currently
served by the RHFPD,including robust fire prevention and weed abatement,accredited training
for new firefighters,expanded training for engineers and captains,and a deep level of support
services to include a certified apparatus repair shop,planned apparatus replacement,dedicated
facilities maintenance,dedicated emergency medical services oversight and training,and
enhanced overall fire district administration.
In December 2020,an annexation study was commissioned to determine the feasibility of
annexing either or both the East Contra Costa Fire Protection District (“ECCFPD”)and the
Rodeo-Hercules Fire Protection District (“RHFPD”). The study was concluded and presented to
the governing bodies of all three fire protection districts in mid-July by an external consultant
group who compiled the study. The study concluded annexation was feasible and
recommended that Contra Costa County Fire Protection District (“CCCFPD”)pursue the
annexation of both the other fire districts.The Board of Directors for each District received the
consultant ’s report in mid-July,2021.On August 12,2021,the CCCFPD received a written
request from the RHFPD Fire Chief to remove RHFPD from consideration in the current
annexation process per direction from the RHFPD Board of Directors.In the time since the
annexation withdrawal by the RHFPD,the RHFPD Board of Directors commissioned a strategic
planning process to determine the options available for the sustainability of the RHFPD.
Ultimately,the RHFPD determined annexation into the CCCFPD was the most suitable and
sustainable option for continuation of services to the public.
Additional findings and recommendations of the 2020 consolidation study confirmed by the
ongoing evaluative process undertaken by RHFPD include:
▪RHFPD is a smaller district that has seen growth in property value with moderate
increases in property tax revenue which are being outpaced by expenses leaving a
forecasted ongoing structural deficit in the near future.
▪Property tax revenues continue to be negatively impacted by the dissolution of
redevelopment agencies (RDA)and the continued property development within the City
of Hercules Redevelopment Area.However,RDA pass-through revenue has increased to
the RHFPD.
▪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 has no capacity to support extended operations within their jurisdiction.
4
▪RHFPD has little to no ability to upstaff and provide corresponding logistical support for
surge capacity during large scale events.
▪Parcel owners with RHFPD pay three parcel taxes that are unique to the territory;
Measure O and two Benefit Assessment District funds that are in addition to the ad
valorem property tax.
▪RHFPD Measure O and the RHFPD Benefit Assessment District funds will continue to be
committed to funding services within the RHFPD service area post consolidation.
▪RHFPD and CCCFPD share battalion chief coverage as Battalion 7;without which RHFPD
would be unable to provide oversight,command and control functions required for
responses beyond a single unit.
▪RHFPD has little to no administrative support for human resources,firefighter training,
fleet maintenance,facilities,public education,or business intelligence/special project
management.
▪Inadequate training support and oversight at RHFPD has resulted in decreased firefighter
and civilian safety,an increase in exposure to legal and regulatory risks,inadequate
organizational depth and an inability to meet succession planning needs.
▪The RHFPD’s vegetation management program is in its infancy and is very limited.
▪With very minimal ability to perform fire investigation,RHFPD has become reliant upon
mutual aid from CCCFPD to subsidize fire investigations.
▪RHFPD has no watercraft or ability to perform water rescue beyond minimal shore based
efforts.
▪Most policies and standard operating procedures are a decade(s)old,no longer relevant,
or in many cases non-existent.
▪With the exception of the Fire Chief,all existing full-time RHFPD personnel that desire to
do so will be absorbed into CCCFPD.The potential annexations will not result in layoffs.
In February 2022,the Rodeo-Hercules Fire Protection District Board of Directors contracted with
Fitch &Associates to provide a facilitated,community-driven,strategic plan as well as a Fire
Administration Analysis.The final documents were presented and received by the RHFPD Board
in October 2022.
The Strategic Plan 2022-2027 for RHFPD included the following findings and recommendations:
●Need to improve turnout time
●Need to improve fire prevention inspection and reporting processes
●Develop a Standards of Cover (SOC)document
●Explore a contract for service or consolidation with a larger fire agency
5
●Provide liability reduction training to all employees and board members
●Develop and maintain a two-year training plan
●Update succession planning /professional development policies
●Develop a system to review/update policies every three years
●Explore the value of mobile fire mechanic service
●Develop a community engagement plan
●Identify cost efficient measures to maintain or improve ISO protection class
●Provide fire safety education to all elementary schools and develop a junior safety group
●Partner with the high school to provide students community service opportunities at the
fire stations
●Partner with local community colleges to provide fire trainee opportunities
●Develop a Community Emergency Response Team (CERT)cadre
In July 2023,the Rodeo-Hercules Fire Protection District Board of Directors contracted with
retired fire chief Micheal Despain (DBA:M.E.D.Enterprises Inc.)to provide assistance in
developing a process to implement the strategic plan (completed in October 2022)and provide
an independent review of the RHFPD long-term sustainability.
From July 2023 to December 2023,Chief Despain conducted an analysis of the agency,which
included a recommended sequence of action items to provide the most efficient
implementation of the agency’s strategic plan.During this same time,at the direction of the
Board,Chief Despain solicited the following agencies to determine if there was any interested in
a possible contract for service:Alameda County Fire Department,Berkeley Fire Department,
CALFIRE (SCU),Contra Costa County Fire Protection District,Crockett Carquinez Fire
Department,El Cerrito-Kensington Fire Department,&Richmond Fire Department.Of these
listed agencies,El Cerrito-Kensington Fire Department and CAL FIRE (SCU)were the only
agencies that indicated they were willing to entertain a deeper discussion on the proposal and
had experience working with other fire agencies.
In December 2023,Chief Despain provided a summary of findings from the analysis of the
long-term sustainability options for the RHFPD.The analysis demonstrated a significant lack of
administrative and support staff that was placing the RHFPD in significant and growing risk of
legal and regulatory liability.The report also reflected approximately $1 million in service
subsidies from the CCCFPD.The solutions available to the RHFPD included an option to seek
approximately $1.5 to $2.0 million in additional revenue to cover the support staff and/or
outsourcing costs to maintain the RHFPD in its current independent configuration.A second
option was to seek out a contract for service with another adjacent public safety agency.A final
option was to request annexation of the RHFPD into the CCCFPD.At the direction of the RHFPD
6
Board,staff was directed to initiate a process to seek out a possible contract for service,as well
as review the process necessary to pursue a possible annexation.
During the month of March 2024,the RHFPD distributed a Request for Proposal (RFP)process to
formally engage in a possible contract for fire services.The RFP was distributed statewide to
increase the possible pool of public safety entities.However,at the conclusion of this process,
no public agencies responded.Staff also met with the fire chief of CCCFPD and a representative
of the Contra Costa County LAFCo to review the processes and steps required for annexation.
The findings of both of these assignments were presented to the RHFPD Board in April 2024.At
the conclusion of the April 2024 special meeting,the RHFPD Board directed staff to begin
formal discussions with CCCFPD to ascertain financial,personnel,and service delivery impacts
for the proposed annexation.
During the month of June 2024,the RHFPD hosted two Town Hall meetings.The first meeting
was hosted on June 18,2024,at 6:00 p.m.at the City of Hercules -Council Chambers.The
meeting was hosted on June 29,2024 at 9:00 a.m.at Rodeo Hills Elementary School.Both
meetings provided opportunities for community members to attend virtually or in person.
During the Town Hall meetings,online surveys were opened up for those attending (online or in
person).These two surveys were closed and locked at the end of each respective Town Hall
meeting.A third survey was opened for the community through the RHFPD website and it was
opened from June 18,2024 through July 1,2024.

Reorganization Process to Date
Three districts considered in the 2020 proposed annexations of the Contra Costa County FPD,
East Contra Costa FPD,and the Rodeo-Hercules FPD entered into a jointly funded study in
December 2020.The comprehensive study was completed and presented to each districts’
governing body in July 2021.The RHFPD opted out of the annexation process in 2021 and
commissioned a separate strategic planning process in 2022.The RHFPD Board of Directors
ultimately determined annexation was the most suitable option for continuation of services
during deliberations and public meetings throughout 2023 and into early 2024.At their July 31,
2024 meeting,the RHFPD Board of Directors approved a Resolution of Application to initiate the
annexation process.The CCCFPD Board of Directors approved a Resolution of Application at
their August 6,2024 meeting.Both resolutions are substantially similar.

History of the Reorganizing Districts
Contra Costa County Fire Protection District
The Contra Costa County Fire Protection District (CCCFPD)was originally formed in 1964 due to
the Central Fire Protection District and Mt.Diablo Fire Protection District consolidation.Since
then,twelve other fire protection districts in the region have merged with CCCFPD,including
the ECCFPD.In March 2023 the CCCFPD began providing fire,rescue,EMS,fire prevention,and
administration to the City of Pinole on a contractual basis.
CCCFPD’s primary service area comprises approximately 525 square miles.More than 85
additional square miles comprises the response area for ambulance service and transport.Data
from the U.S.Census Bureau indicates a 2020 resident population of approximately 750,000
persons.About half the District is considered “urban,”25%“suburban,”and the remaining 25%
“rural”or “remote.”
Governance
The five-member elected Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors serves as CCCFPD’s Board of
Directors.The Board oversees the Fire Chief,sets general policies,and approves the budget.The
Fire Chief is responsible for the administrative functions and daily operations of CCCFPD.
District Services
CCCFPD is an all-hazards fire district providing traditional fire protection,wildland firefighting,
emergency medical services,Advanced Life Support (ALS),ambulance transport,various special
operations (e.g.,water rescue,hazardous materials response,marine firefighting,technical
rescue,etc.),and a comprehensive life-safety and prevention program that includes inspections,
a dedicated fire investigation unit,code enforcement,plan reviews,and public education.In
2005,the District was given an Insurance Services Office (ISO)Public Protection Classification
(PPC®)score of 3/8b.The ISO PPC is a standardized fire department classification and ranking
system established by the ISO and used by many insurance companies for determining
capability of the fire department serving the insured property.CCCFPD is accredited through
the Commission on Accreditation of Ambulance Services (CAAS).
CCCFPD deploys 32 engine companies,seven truck companies,and one rescue company from
35 staffed fire stations located throughout the District.One station is utilized for the District's
reserve firefighters and staffed on a rotational basis.The District operates a wide variety of fire
apparatus and ambulances (more detail provided under “Capital Facilities &Apparatus”).
CCCFPD follows the National Fire Protection Association Standard 1710 (NFPA)for providing an
effective firefighting force of at least 17 personnel on the initial response to a single family
11
residential structure fire.Across the District,the travel time for the full first alarm contingent of
17 personnel is 12 minutes,90%of the time,for suburban areas.
Ambulance Transport
In 2016,CCCFPD developed a unique arrangement with American Medical Response,Inc.(AMR)
that they refer to as the “Alliance.”The program utilizes AMR EMS personnel to staff CCCFPD’s
ALS ambulances,assisted by district firefighters certified as EMTs or Paramedics and functioning
in a first-responder capacity.CCCFPD provides emergency ambulance services under contract
with Contra Costa County for approximately 92%of the resident population of the county,
including all areas served by the RHFPD.
Regional Fire Communications
CCCFPD operates the Contra Costa Regional Fire Communications Center (CCRFCC),which
serves as a secondary Public Safety Answering Point (PSAP)for most fire and EMS 911 calls in
the County.The CCRFCC provides dispatch and emergency communication services to its
district,plus RHFPD,and three other fire agencies.The Center dispatches more than 140,000
emergency and non-emergency fire and EMS incidents annually.CCRFCC ’s 911 Call-Takers are
all certified in Emergency Medical Dispatch (EMD)through the International Academies of
Emergency Dispatch (IAED)and provide pre-arrival instructions to callers reporting medical
emergencies.The CCRFCC is fully accredited by the IAED.
CCCFPD Organizational Structure
CCCFPD currently maintains approximately 604 funded positions,including staff in the dispatch
center.Thirteen of these positions are funded through the District’s EMS Transport Fund.The
figure below shows the 2023 organizational structure of CCCFPD.
As shown in the following figure,the Fire Chief and three Deputy Fire Chiefs supervise three
sections with six divisions,five of which are managed by an Assistant Fire Chief and one by the
Chief of Administrative Services.Additionally,each shift within the Operations Section is led
and directed by an Assistant Fire Chief who is on duty 24 hours each day with that shift.These
three additional chief officers are responsible for the daily operations of all stations throughout
the district.

Rodeo-Hercules Fire Protection District
In 1937,the Rodeo Fire District (RFD)was established to provide fire protection for Rodeo’s
unincorporated community.The City of Hercules was annexed into RFD in 1978 and the name of
the District was changed to the Rodeo-Hercules Fire Protection District (RHFPD).
The District encompasses an area of approximately 32 square miles.The District estimates a
population of approximately 35,254 persons.
Governance
The Rodeo-Hercules Fire Protection District is governed by a five-member elected Board of
Directors responsible for budget approval and general policies.The Fire Chief manages the
administration and daily operations of the District and answers directly to the Board.
District Services
RHFPD is a multi-hazard (not all-hazards)fire district providing traditional structural fire
protection,wildland firefighting,first responder advanced life support medical response
(FRALS),technical rescue (auto extrication,high angle and low-angle rescue,and shore based
water rescue).The District deploys its apparatus and personnel from two fire stations and has
an ISO PPC®rating of 2/2.
The District also provides code enforcement,fire inspections,plan reviews,fire cause
investigations,and public education and prevention programs.
RHFPD Organizational Structure
Rodeo-Hercules FPD employs 22 full-time and one part-time prevention personnel.The Fire
Chief also serves as the District ’s Fire Marshal and supervises a civilian contractor Inspector.
Operations are divided into three shifts (A,B,and C)with two Captains,two Engineers,and two
Firefighters assigned to each.Each shift and station have at least one Paramedic assigned.An
RHFPD Battalion Chief supervises the operations personnel assigned to A Shift.The CCCFPD
provides two BC ’s for both B and C Shift through an automatic aid agreement.The support the
agreement provides is operational for responses and does not offer support for facilities,
training,personnel,logistics etc.
The next figure is an illustration of the current 2024 organizational structure of RHFPD.

Proposed Annexation Territory Description
Boundaries
The following image shows the proposed annexation areas which consists of the boundaries of
the RHFPD and its location compared to CCCFPD’s boundaries.Upon reorganization,CCCFPD’s
boundaries are proposed to consist of approximately 582 square miles.
Annexation Areas
16
Topography
The combined annexation area contains waterfront,suburban,urban,rural,and remote service
areas.The topography spectrum includes flat urban environments up to and including the
remote backcountry in the hills east of Rodeo and Hercules.The topography is typical of that
found throughout the County.
Population
Following annexation,CCCFPD would have an estimated total resident population of over
785,000 persons.
Justification
Enhanced Standardization
The combined organization will standardize training delivery of recruit firefighters through the
Contra Costa County Fire Protection District’s academy.Continued training of firefighters will
occur through one Training Division under a consistent,well-staffed,and properly supported
system.Operational policies and procedures will become consistent and standardized under
one organization.Fire prevention and code enforcement services will be based on one fire code
and supporting ordinances throughout the new service area.Procurement of apparatus and
equipment will be contained under one standard within the organization,reducing training
issues and increasing flexibility in deployment and fleet sustainability.Operational and large
incident management will be standardized under the single organization’s leadership and
emergency management goals and objectives.Responses to incidents,currently at varying
levels based on each agency’s own service policies,will become standardized to meet a single
standard for deployment.
The standard applied across the expanded service area will ensure consistent response levels of
equipment and personnel to structure fires,technical rescues,and vegetation or wildland fires
matching with the current response matrix for CCCFPD.This will increase total response on the
initial alarm for structure fires and vegetation or wildland fires in the RHFPD service area post
annexation.
17
Augmented Service Levels
For the RHFPD service area,additional enhancements will include access to specialized rescue
and firefighting resources not currently provided directly by that district.These include marine
firefighting and water rescue teams,fire based hazardous materials response team,heavy fire
equipment resources such as fire bulldozers,wildland fire hand crews,as well as technical
rescue apparatus,equipment,and personnel for confined space,trench,and building collapse.
Fire and arson investigation services will be enhanced through use of Contra Costa County Fire
Protection District ’s dedicated Fire Investigation Unit.
Fire prevention service will be standardized and,in some cases,augmented beyond the current
level of service being provided by the former district.Comprehensive community risk
reduction,code enforcement,plan review and new construction inspections,exterior hazard
control and weed abatement,and development planning will be provided by full-time
personnel.Public education and outreach efforts will be augmented with dedicated staff to
perform this important service.
Service Efficiency
Annexation will increase both the effectiveness and efficiency of the service delivery system and
the efficiency of the administrative functions through shared resources.Each of the districts
has varying levels of uniformed administrative support positions—due primarily to their size.A
challenge often faced by smaller districts is the necessity of individuals to serve in multiple
capacities.An advantage to the annexation will be increased administrative and support
services available to the combined organization (e.g.,information technology,human resources,
finance,contracts management,fleet maintenance,logistics and supply,etc.).
Operationally,the organizations already work together with existing automatic and mutual aid
agreements.However,the differences in alarm assignments or types,kind,and number of
resources assigned based upon varied call types would have a more robust,standardized,and
consistent weight of response.The net effect is a more consistent effective response force as
emergency operations will become more effective and efficient while improving firefighter and
public safety.
Cost Savings
Cost savings in this annexation will be achieved through reduced redundancy of certain
administrative and support functions in the areas of legal and accounting services,fire
prevention,training,fleet maintenance,reduced spare and reserve fire apparatus needs,and by
18
combining technology infrastructure and other administrative functions.Additional cost savings
will be realized from the elimination of the RHFPD Fire Chief position and part time Assistant
Fire Marshal/Inspector,certain contracted services,and anticipated savings in reduced
retirement and pension costs on a per-employee basis.
Certain capital reserve funding programs or special programs unique to the needs of RHFPD can
also be eliminated or reduced.The cost savings of the areas identified will be used to maintain
and strengthen the deployment of operational resources for communities served by the
combined organization.
Plan and Description of Services
Services to be Extended
Fire,rescue,and emergency medical services are currently provided at different levels within
each district.Fire prevention,community risk reduction,and fire investigation services are
provided at different levels in either full-time or contractual arrangements.Administrative and
support services are also provided in different formats amongst the agencies in either full-time
or contractual arrangements.All services would be provided consistent with the current
configuration and delivery models within Contra Costa County Fire Protection District.The
method to finance the services provided would be through the combined revenue streams of
property taxes,fees for services,and other assessments,taxes,fees,or revenue components
established in the respective districts.
The proposed reorganization would only affect the provision of fire,rescue and emergency
medical services within the current boundaries of areas proposed for annexation.The
reorganization will not alter or affect other municipal services.

Current Service Delivery Levels
Service and Staffing Overview
An overview of services provided and description of staffing levels for each of the subject
districts were previously discussed under the History of the Reorganizing Districts section.
Dispatch/Communications
CCCFPD operates the Contra Costa Regional Fire Communications Center (CCRFCC),which
serves as a secondary Public Safety Answering Point (PSAP)for most fire and EMS 911 calls in
the County.CCRFCC provides dispatch to the CCCFPD,plus RHFPD,and four other fire agencies.
The Center dispatches more than 140,000 emergency and non-emergency fire and EMS
incidents annually.
In 2018,the Center made substantial improvements to the system by adding more staff and
upgrading radio,telephone,and information technology services.In 2023 staffing was further
increased and a new communications center will be constructed beginning in mid-2024.
CCRFCC ’s 911 Dispatchers are all certified in Emergency Medical Dispatch through the
International Academies of Emergency Dispatch (IAED)and provide pre-arrival instructions to
callers reporting medical emergencies.Along with its staff,CCRFCC houses 13 System Status
Management Dispatchers employed by American Medical Response for the deployment of
ambulances throughout the service area.
21
Level of Demand
The following figure shows response workload for each agency over the past 5 years.This chart
shows the relatively small impact annexation would have on the annual workload for the
CCCFPD.
22
Baseline Turnout Time Comparison:
This chart shows the comparison between the baseline (actual)turnout times for CCCFPD and
RHFPD for 2023.This comparative analysis indicates that CCCFPD maintains a system that
meets or exceeds the baseline turnout time performance of that within RHFPD,meaning
response times will likely be the same,or slightly better,within the RHFPD after annexation.
•Turnout time for fire/rescue calls within 2 minutes and 20 seconds for 90 percent of
incidents.
•Current RHFPD baseline performance =76%.
•Current CCCFPD baseline performance =83%
•Turnout time for EMS calls within 2 minutes and 10 seconds for 90 percent of incidents.
•Current RHFPD baseline performance =71%.
•Current CCCFPD baseline performance =81%
23
Facilities -Fire Station Locations
Contra Costa County Fire Protection District Facilities
CCCFPD currently maintains 35 fire stations throughout the District.Station 19 is a reserve
station and a leased facility.The Byron Wildfire Center is used to support the hand crew
operations.The following figures describe the features of each fire station operated by the
District.
Combined,CCCFPD fire stations have a staffing capacity of approximately 225 personnel,80
apparatus bays (although some are utilized for exercise equipment),and 180,000 square feet.
The years in which CCCFPD’s stations were built range from 1939 to 2022,with an average age
of 33 years;however,several of the older stations have since been remodeled.
Of the 35 fire stations inventoried,11%were listed in “Excellent”condition,49%in “Good”
condition,37%in “Fair ”condition,and 3%in “Poor ”condition.The majority of the stations do
not have modern seismic protection or meet Americans with Disability Act (ADA)standards.
Fourteen (40%)of the fire stations have sprinkler systems installed.
24
Rodeo-Hercules Fire Protection District Facilities
RHFPD currently maintains two fire stations.Fire Station 75 was originally built in 1937 but was
remodeled in 1991.Station 76 was built in 1991.Combined,the two stations average 57 years
of age.
The maximum fire station staffing capacity of each facility is limited to either three or four
personnel.Combined,the District has seven apparatus bays.
The District rated the overall condition of both of its fire stations as “Good.”Both stations have
sprinkler systems installed.

The combined fire station inventories comprise 37 fire stations with 88 bays (although in several
of them,at least one bay is utilized for exercise equipment)and a capacity of 232 personnel .
Fire stations tend to be older amongst both fire districts.The average age of the combined
stations is almost 36 years.However,this may be somewhat distorted,as this was based on the
original construction dates,and several stations have since had significant remodeling
completed (e.g.,CCCFPD Stations 69 and 81).CCCFPD has constructed several new stations
over the past five years,including Fire Station 16 (Lafayette),Fire Station 95 (Oakley),Fire
Station 70 (San Pablo),and Fire Station 86 (Bay Point).There are four stations in the planning
and/or construction process including a replacement for Fire Station 9 (Pacheco),new Fire
Station 90 (Brentwood),a replacement for Fire Station 94 (Brentwood),and a planned new
station in southern Antioch based on development agreements.
25
Apparatus &Vehicles
A thorough review of each of the fire districts’fleet inventories is especially important if
annexation is implemented.Annexation will likely result in a merger of apparatus inventories
and other equipment.
Fire apparatus are unique and expensive pieces of equipment customized to operate for a
specific community and defined mission.Other than its firefighters,officers,and support staff,
the next most important fire protection district resources are likely the emergency apparatus
and vehicles.
Apparatus must be sufficiently reliable to transport firefighters and equipment rapidly and
safely to an incident scene.Such vehicles must be properly equipped and function appropriately
to ensure that the delivery of emergency services is not compromised.For this reason,they are
expensive and offer minimal flexibility in use and reassignment to other missions.
Contra Costa County Fire Protection District
Except for new apparatus—which were rated as “Excellent ”—the Contra Costa County FPD
rated all of its frontline engines,aerial apparatus,and most other vehicles as in “Good”
condition.This included apparatus in reserve and those assigned to the Training Division.
Along with its substantial fleet of engines,ambulances,aerials,and other apparatus,the District
maintains a range of special operations vehicles (e.g.,hazmat unit,UTVs,command units,fire
boat,rescue boat,etc.)and other equipment utilized for wildland and other operations (e.g.,
bulldozer,backhoe,dump truck,etc.).
CCCFPD owns multiple pickup trucks,SUVs,and other vehicles but has access to nearly 75 other
pickup trucks,staff cars,cargo vans,and assorted miscellaneous vehicles from an ongoing fleet
leasing program through Enterprise Fleet Management.This program assures light vehicles,
including chief officer vehicles,are replaced at regular intervals before becoming maintenance
or reliability issues.
The District maintains an adequate inventory of reserve engines,aerial apparatus,rescue
squads,and other vehicles.The Training Division has been assigned five Type 1 engines along
with two aerial apparatus (one being a Quint and the other a tiller),and several other
apparatus.
26
Rodeo-Hercules Fire Protection District
The following figure lists the current inventory of RHFPD’s frontline fleet.The District ’s
apparatus fleet comprises Type 1 (structural)and Type 3 (wildland)engines,as well as Quint
apparatus.

RHFPD maintains one engine and one quint in reserve (Engine 75A and Quint 76A).Both are
rated as in “Poor ”condition.The District uses a 10-year replacement cycle for its engines where
apparatus moves into reserve status at 10 years.The District has not been able to maintain a 10
year cycle with its Type III Brush apparatus which are 16 and 18 years old respectively.

Automatic and Mutual Aid
All agencies participate in local automatic aid agreements.Additionally,local and statewide
mutual aid is provided under local agreement or under the California Master Mutual Aid
Agreement.Contra Costa County Fire Protection District is the predominant provider of aid to
the RHFPD.
Public Outreach/Education
All agencies provide public education in various forms based on their current staffing and
organization.Contra Costa County Fire Protection District is the only agency with dedicated
full-time staffing for public education and public information services.
CCCFPD has robust public education programs.CCCFPD emphasizes wildland interface issues.
Programs include the use of FireWise®defensible space,hazard reduction,and community
information sessions.Due to its size and staffing limitations the RHFPD does not have a robust
public education program.
CCCFPD supports City-sponsored CERT programs with relevant fire and rescue related training.
CCCFPD has a unique bilingual education program for the juvenile fire starter team.CCCFPD
currently provides annual education at the grade school level.

Apparatus &Vehicle Maintenance
Contra Costa County FPD
The majority of CCCFPD’s fleet maintenance is done internally by the District’s Apparatus Shop.
The Fire Apparatus Manager supervises a Fire Service Coordinator,Driver/Clerk,and six
Emergency Vehicle Technicians (EVT)(formerly known as Fire Equipment Mechanics (FEM)).The
29
EVTs are certified by the National Institute for Automotive Service Excellence (ASE)in vehicle
repair and the California Fire Mechanics Academy (CFMA)to maintain fire apparatus.
Rodeo-Hercules FPD
RHFPD outsources its vehicle maintenance to the Alameda County Fire Department and a
commercial company(s)that specializes in emergency vehicle services.There are no dedicated
staff for the fleet leaving a shift based company officer to manage the program with the help of
other line personnel.
Fire Prevention
CCCFPD has a fully staffed prevention bureau.
In 2023,CCCFPD performed 7,267 mandatory code enforcement inspections and 333
non-mandatory inspections.The following graphic shows a comparison of the current code

statutory requirement of fire cause determination.The fire investigation team for CCCFPD
conducted almost 900 investigations in 2023.The RHFPD has become reliant upon CCCFPD to
subsidize its fire investigations.

CCCFPD has a comprehensive and extensive training program.CCCFPD places more emphasis
on fire-related training and position specific competency based skill training from entry level
32
through Battalion Chief for succession planning.A contributing factor to the difference in
fire-related training was the special operations teams,technical rescue,truck operations,and
boat operations.The RHFPD has no dedicated training staff and has become heavily reliant
upon CCCFPD to subsidize its training needs.RHFPD maintains a professional services contract
with an EMS consultant to provide EMS training.

Proposed Service Delivery Plan
Service Overview
The combined organization will provide fire,rescue,and first responder emergency medical
services,including special operations capabilities1,to all the communities within the
reorganized district in a manner consistent with services provided in the existing Contra Costa
County Fire Protection District.Full-time and full-service fire prevention and fire investigation
services,along with internal apparatus and fleet maintenance programs,facilities management,
administrative and support services will be provided.
Staffing
Staffing will be stabilized and consistent through this annexation with a larger and broader
group of firefighters and chief officers available to fill the required daily positions.Fire
prevention,administration,training and support services functions will be strengthened with
the existing staffing of the CCCFPD.
Dispatch/Communications
There would be no changes to dispatch and emergency communications.There would be
increased support provided by Contra Costa County Fire Protection District staff for radio and
communication servicing,repairs,training,and radio programming under the combined
organization.
Level of Demand
It is anticipated that immediately following annexation,demand for services as defined by calls
for service would total the sum of the existing demand in the two service areas.In subsequent
years,demand would continue to increase in conjunction with anticipated population increases,
new development and infrastructure,and other factors influencing need for fire protection,
rescue,and EMS services.
Automatic and Mutual Aid
The combined,larger organization would continue to support automatic and mutual aid
commitments at the local level.The ability to respond to regional and statewide mutual aid
would be enhanced by additional capacity and personnel.
1 Specialist-Level Hazardous Materials response/Type 1
35
Public Outreach/Education
Public education and public information services would be provided equally to the annexed
areas with dedicated staff of the already existing Contra Costa County Fire Protection District.
Public outreach includes support for FireWise®community groups,established Community
Emergency Response Teams,civic groups and other organizations that support a public safety
mission.
Fire Prevention
Fire prevention and fire investigations will be provided with the current CCCFPD staff.Staffing
levels will be reviewed annually to determine appropriate staffing levels for current and
anticipated workloads and changes in mandated programs.
Administration
The combined organization would have an approximate 13%administrative/support staffing to
line staffing based on current staffing levels.
This is consistent with similarly sized organizations,and,except for the Fire Chief position,there
does not appear to be duplication of support staff.Grant management,contract administration,
and cost recovery programs would be appropriately staffed with the current CCCFPD
administrative resources.
Maintenance
Vehicle maintenance would be performed by the Contra Costa County Fire Protection District
apparatus shop.This will increase consistency and uniformity in quality by ASE certified fire
mechanics.
Training
Training of recruit firefighters will be conducted through the Contra Costa County Fire
Protection District academy.This state Accredited Local Academy will increase consistency in
the training provided and the quality and capability of the recruits who will become firefighters
serving the various communities of the combined organization upon graduation.
Continuing training will be delivered using the systems developed under the Contra Costa
County Fire Protection District ’s Training Division.Increased use of decentralized training at
locations in west county will need to be used to reduce travel times of crews.
The Training Division increased staffing by one 40-hour Training Captain and added a civilian
training specialist in mid-2021 and another in 2024.The Training Division will continue
providing consistent continuing education and training.
36
Personnel/Recruitment
Recruitment processes will be standardized under the current practices of the Contra Costa
County Fire Protection District based on existing district practices and policies.
Liaison with Cooperating Agencies
The CCCFPD will continue to coordinate with cooperating public health and safety agencies to
ensure the provision of efficient and effective service.Cooperating agencies include Contra
Costa County Department of Health and the Local Emergency Medical Services Agency (LEMSA)
for all emergency medical services;Contra Costa County Office of Emergency Services and law
enforcement for emergency preparedness planning,evacuation planning and procedures and
early warning systems for the public;and other entities that support a public safety mission.
Level and Range of Proposed Services
Capacity Availability
Current front line capacity for emergency response of the combined organization is suitable to
meet the current demands.Additional overhead capacity for large or complex incident
management and mitigation will be a direct benefit to the communities of Rodeo and Hercules.
Capacity within the fire prevention bureau will be evaluated on an ongoing basis,as is the
current practice,to match staffing with service demand.
Willingness to Serve
Contra Costa County Fire Protection District is prepared to serve the areas under the proposed
annexation.The ability to serve the new areas is complemented by existing personnel from the
annexed district being incorporated into the ranks and structure of the new organization,as well
as the planned recruitment,training,and deployment of additional resources as needed.
Service Adequacy
The level of service provided in the annexed territory will be consistent with current CCCFPD
practices,policies,and standards.
37
Infrastructure Needs/Planned Improvements
There are no identified significant infrastructure needs.With the age of Fire Station 75 and Fire
Station 76 there will need to be continued maintenance,upgrades,repairs,and certain
modernizations and improvements.These have all been identified by RHFPD and some
progress has been made to complete these projects.No additional fire stations or expansions
of facilities are contemplated at this time.
Apparatus will be replaced based on the CCCFPD replacement program and plans to replace the
Type 3 wildland apparatus operated by RHFPD are included in the fiscal analysis and cost
projections.
Correlation with Agency Plans and Operations
CCCFPD maintains an operational plan that is updated annually as well as an apparatus
replacement plan and capital improvement plan.The proposed annexation is consistent with
CCCFPD’s planning documents and operations.It is anticipated that operations within the
annexed area will become entirely consistent with CCCFPD’s operational plan and capital
improvement plans once operations are taken over by CCCFPD.Additionally,these plans will be
updated to incorporate needs specific to the annexed area.
Alternative Service Structures and Related Effects
In March 2024,the RHFPD sought potential interested agencies to provide services to their
district under contract.No public agency responded,thus the alternative service delivery
model under a contractual relationship with another fire service agency was determined
infeasible.
There are two alternatives to the reorganization as proposed here—status quo and
consolidation.Status quo would be retaining the existing service and governance structure and,
without a significant increase in revenue,would result in anticipated service level reductions in
the next few years for the RHFPD.
Consolidation,as opposed to the reorganization (annexation)proposed here,would result in a
combining of the two districts into a new district.While the outcome would ultimately look the
same as the proposed annexation/dissolution,the process would result in a new district being
formed and would not capitalize on the already existing structure of CCCFPD as the proposed
successor agency.The costs and impacts to service levels would likely be similar for both
reorganization and consolidation.

Fiscal Analysis
Background
This section of the application describes the financial resources which are available to fund the
services provided following reorganization,and the projected expenditures based on
assumptions previously described in the service delivery plan and transition plan.Based on a
projection of fund balance,revenues,and expenditures,CCCFPD will be able to provide the
services described in this plan.
Revenue Sources
Each district has a mix of revenue sources with property taxes being the primary source.The
revenue sources of the reorganized district would include property taxes,special taxes,benefit
assessments,fees for services,development impact fee revenue,community facilities district
revenue,grants and intergovernmental revenue from other agencies,as well as a specific sales
tax (San Pablo),and a general countywide sales tax (Measure X).
39
Post-Reorganization 5-Year Financial Projections
Operations
The financial projections are based on available revenue from all sources for the
Rodeo-Hercules Fire Protection District that are assumed to continue following the annexation
and all known CCCFPD expenses to staff,operate,maintain,and support two fire stations in the
communities of Rodeo and Hercules.Revenue sources for the RHFPD include all forms of
property tax,RDA pass-through revenues,benefit assessments,Measure O,and Measure H.
Revenue from Phillips 66 (through 2025),Homeowner Property Tax Relief,and an estimate for
fire prevention fee revenue are also included.Revenues are estimated below:
Revenue Category (annual increase)FY 24/25 FY 25/26 FY 26/27 FY 27/28 FY 28/29 FY 29/30
Property Taxes (4%)$4,864,663 $5,059,250 $5,261,620 $5,472,084 $5,690,968 $5,918,606

Fire Prevention Fee Revenue (0%)$50,000 $50,000 $50,000 $50,000 $50,000 $50,000
TOTAL REVENUE $10,074,563 $10,372,713 $10,582,797 $10,903,227 $11,235,431 $11,579,854
RHFPD property taxes have increased at an annual rate in excess of 4%annually since
FY2020-2021.The benefit assessments do not escalate on an annual basis and Measure O has
an escalator capped at 3%per year.It is anticipated the annual contribution from Phillips 66 will
cease in 2025.Based on these assumptions,it is felt the escalators used in the overall revenue
forecast model are conservative.
Salaries and benefits,which include Medicare payroll taxes,health insurance,and pension costs
for the line positions—Captains,Engineers,and Firefighters—were assumed to be entering the
CCCFPD system at the actual CCCFPD salary step for each individual on July 1,2025,based on
the Local 1230 MOU and County transfer rules.This includes a mix of personnel entering
CCCFPD at top step for their position and several entering at mid-range or lower steps based on
40
their total compensation at RHFPD and the corresponding,or equivalent step,at CCCFPD.There
are a total of 18 positions at the Firefighter,Engineer,and Captain rank and one position at the
Battalion Chief rank in this analysis.
Overtime is calculated at 13%of total personnel costs based on CCCFPD’s historical overtime
cost experience.As previously stated,the projections include maintaining the existing staffing
levels of two stations.
Total personnel costs for Firefighter and Engineer positions are projected to increase 10%
annually in the first three years,due to anticipated annual step increases,and 5%annually
beginning in the fourth year of the projections.All other ranks are projected to increase at a
rate of 5%annually beginning in the first year of analysis.
Retiree health costs are additional benefit costs that are projected to increase 8%annually.
Administrative personnel (two clerical positions)will be absorbed into the existing CCCFPD
staffing.It is important to note these administrative positions are not necessary additions to
CCCFPD staff as a result of annexation,but will be accommodated as a result of the annexation
to extend employment for these members.These positions will be absorbed into the current
staffing and already budgeted positions of the CCCFPD’s administrative services section.
Program support for grant applications and grant management,as well as cost recovery and
other related services,are capable of being managed with existing CCCFPD staff.
Retiree health insurance benefit costs for RHFPD retirees are stated separately to indicate those
long-term costs are considered in the projections.
Services and supplies expenses include,but are not limited to,station and apparatus operating
costs,repairs and maintenance,small tools and equipment replacement,training costs,radio
and technology costs,medical and firefighting supplies,turnout gear and uniform costs,and
professional services.These costs are estimated to increase 8%annually.It is anticipated that
there will be a significant benefit in consolidating certain administrative costs such as
technology,training,reduced professional services,and apparatus maintenance.
The operations portion of the combined districts is anticipated to produce positive cash flow for
each of the five years of the projections.This allows the combined operation to accumulate a
reserve balance,to assist in rebuilding reserves taking into account the full use of the RHFPD
reserves to pay down the unfunded pension liability of the RHFPD at the time of annexation,or
to take advantage of other opportunities during the projection period.The following figure
combines the revenues from the previous projections with expected operating expenses and
41
related expenses to develop annual operating cash flows and accumulated operating fund
balances through FY 29/30.

Net Revenue $619,717 $1,109,732 $824,348 $613,222 $383,998
Salary &Benefits
CCCFPD currently experiences a much lower pension cost,as a percentage of eligible
compensation,than RHFPD for both classic and PEPRA members.This amounts to over 30%in
reduced pension costs for CCCFPD as compared to RHFPD.The salary and benefit forecasts
include base salaries,any incentive or additional pay items,FICA,uniform allowance,medical
and dental subsidies,workers compensation insurance costs,all CCCERA retirement related
costs,as well as holiday pay,scheduled FLSA pay,and an overtime cost factor for the Battalion
Chief (1),Captain (6),Engineer (6),and Firefighter (6)positions at the calculated salary scale
each current RHFPD member would be entitled to upon joining CCCFPD.These costs were
escalated at 5%annually with a 10%annual cost escalator through FY 27/28 for all firefighter
ranks due to scheduled step increases for those ranks.Classic retirement rates were used for
the Captain ranks and PEPRA rates were used for the Engineer and Firefighter classifications,
based on the current and expected census for these ranks.
42
Retiree Health
Retiree health is planned to be reimbursed at 100%of total plan costs to those RHFPD members
retired as of the date of annexation.The costs allocated to retiree health presume two
additional RHFPD retirements with the maximum cost of benefits provided for those two
presumed retirements.Future retirees will receive the normal CCCFPD retiree health care
subsidy,which is less than 100%.
Materials &Supplies
Several cost components are included in this section including IT,training costs,fuel,tires,
apparatus maintenance,property &liability insurance costs,EBRCS subscriber fees,firefighting
supplies not included in the Equipment Replacement section,disposable medical supplies,and
tax collection services.There is no anticipated significant increase to legal services or payroll
services.
Apparatus &Lease Purchase Debt Service
This section includes $300,000 of current debt service for Quint 76 and Engine 75.Additionally,
leasing costs for a utility pickup and Battalion Chief vehicle are included beginning in FY 25/26,
although neither may be necessary until a subsequent fiscal year.The planned purchase of one
(1)Type 3 wildland engine and (1)Type 6 wildland engine are planned for FY 25/26 with cash in
lieu of a financing arrangement.This would replace both wildland apparatus by FY 27/28 based
on current delivery schedule estimates.In FY 26/27 the district would purchase one (1)Type 1
engine to replace the current Engine 75A.This would be a 10 year lease purchase with the
annual payments commencing in FY 26/27 and delivery anticipated in FY 29/30 based on
current delivery schedule estimates.
Equipment Replacement
There is both capital and non-capital equipment carried on fire apparatus for the safety of our
members and to provide specialized and technical fire,rescue,and medical services to the
public.Based on the manufacturer ’s recommended useful life,the following equipment is
replaced at regular intervals and included in this portion of the fiscal analysis:automobile
extrication tools (jaws of life),self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA),thermal imaging
cameras,portable and mobile radios,fire hose and nozzles,LUCAS CPR devices,Lifepak
Monitor/Defibrillators,as well as structural and wildland personal protective equipment.The
amount listed in each fiscal year is representative of the sum total of the equipment divided by
its useful life.In some years more,or less,may be expended based on the actual equipment
being replaced in that given year and its unit cost.The cost of replacing the LifePak
Monitor/Defibrillators and the LUCAS CPR devices is not borne by the CCCFPD general fund;
43
these items are replaced through the CCCFPD ambulance transport fund and,as such,their
replacement costs are not included in the calculation.
Communication Center Allocation
This represents the annual amount that would otherwise have been paid to CCCFPD by the
RHFPD for dispatch related services from the Contra Costa Regional Fire Communications Center
(CCRFCC).Since this revenue will no longer be coming to the CCCFPD it is listed here as an
expense for overall planning purposes and to account for the loss of revenue.
Facility Maintenance &Utilities
Each station has its own unique maintenance needs and often a unique cost for utilities
depending on age,construction,water use,and the type of heating and air conditioning
appliances installed.Using RHFPD budget figures,and CCCFPD experience with scheduled
maintenance items such as paint,carpet,and appliance replacement,overhead door
maintenance,exhaust system maintenance,exterior building maintenance and repairs a budget
forecast is provided here.
Unanticipated Annexation Expenses
In both of the previous mergers,the CCCFPD experienced some unanticipated transition
expenses.Some of these included replacement of iPads or other IT infrastructure,telephone
equipment,or other minor equipment.In some cases there is minor work or contractor
provided services that are necessary to align IT,telephone,or other infrastructure.Upgrading
or replacement of RHFPD personal protective equipment (PPE)may also be needed or may be
phased in over a period of time with minor modifications of existing and serviceable PPE.These
expenses are only included in the first fiscal year following the anticipated annexation date.
Capital
The second component of the proposed annexation to be analyzed is the funding available to
acquire capital resources such as fire stations and equipment.There are no plans for new fire
stations in the communities of Rodeo or Hercules as a result of this annexation.Each of the
districts receives funding from special assessments that are restricted to use only within the
jurisdiction from which the revenues are received.These restricted revenues include
development impact fees (both agencies),benefit assessments (RHFPD),and Measure O
(RHFPD).The development impact fees are to be used for capital expenses related to new
development needs and impacts in a specific area.The benefit assessments and Measure O are
available for capital needs,ongoing operational costs to staff and operate stations.All of these
funding sources are restricted to benefit the area from which the funding is derived.
44
The Contra Costa County Fire Protection District will ensure all funds received from Measure O,
benefit assessments,development impact fees,and community facilities districts derived from
the territories of the former Rodeo-Hercules Fire Protection District are accounted for and
expended within the geographic areas they were derived in compliance with applicable statutes
and regulations.
CCCFPD will assume the obligation for debt service payments,capital expenditures for
apparatus and equipment,and the ongoing maintenance and necessary improvements to fire
stations into the future.
Currently,the RHFPD has a lease agreement with the City of Hercules for Fire Station 76.The
lease agreement,or other ownership arrangement,for Fire Station 76 will need to be
determined and executed between CCCFPD and the City of Hercules prior to the annexation
effective date.
Several apparatus of various types are anticipated to be acquired during the next five years.
CCCFPD has provided cash funding for the purchase of one (1)new Type 3 and one (1)new Type
6 wildland engine in FY 25/26 in the fiscal analysis.One (1)new Type 1 engine is planned to be
purchased through the CCCFPD lease-purchase program in FY 26/27 to replace the current
Engine 75A.Funding for these acquisitions is expected to be from the use of cash in FY 25/26 as
a result of positive cash flow from the annexation and the annual lease-purchase payment is
added to the fiscal analysis in the form of an ongoing annual payment beginning in FY 26/27.
The initial balance of the RHFPD reserve fund,or fund balance,of approximately $7 Million is
planned to be used to pay down the approximately $12 Million of CCCERA unfunded accrued
actuarial liability (UAAL)of the RHFPD pension cost group.Annual savings as a result of the
annexation will allow the CCCFPD to rebuild additional reserve funds after having used the
RHFPD reserve funds in their totality upon the annexation implementation date.
Combined Reserve Balances
The CCCFPD has a combined reserve balance (fund balance)of approximately $182 Million as of
June 30,2023.Figures for the close of the FY 2023-24 budget will not be available until the fall
of 2024.It is anticipated the RHFPD will have $6,938,013 in available reserves (fund balance)as
of June 30,2025.The CCCFPD plans to use this balance to pay down the RHFPD CCCERA UAAL
to the maximum extent possible.If this is done,there will be no transfer of RHFPD general fund
balance to the CCCFPD general fund balance.Rather,the accrued savings in each year of
operations can be used to replenish the fund balance or be used to support other needs as they
arise.The current,and anticipated,CCCFPD fund balance is sufficient to support the annexation
alone.
45
Other RHFPD balances include the California Employers’Retiree Benefit Trust (CERBT)Fund.As
of March,2024,balance is $3,150,196.The CCCFPD intends to use this balance to pay down the
Other Post Employment Benefit (OPEB)liability that will be calculated and added to the CCCFPD
outstanding balance with Contra Costa County.
The current Rodeo and Hercules Development Impact Fee (DIF)funds will continue to exist and
be separately accounted for following the annexation effective date.These funds will be added
to the list of special revenue accounts in the CCCFPD finance system with the County Treasury.
Annual accounting for all revenues and related expenses will be completed by the CCCFPD post
annexation.
Findings
As of 2024,RHFPD was facing financial challenges with forecasted ongoing structural budget
deficits in the near future.This trend is forecast to continue due to the cost of operating a small
district exceeding the forecasted increases in available revenue sources.The fiscal impact of the
Contra Costa County Employees'Retirement Association (CCCERA’s)costs,and potential voter
fatigue and resistance to additional ongoing taxes or fee structures due to the current impacts
of benefit assessments and Measure O.
CCCFPD faced declining revenues associated with the decline in property values and thus
property tax income after 2008,combined with increased costs associated with retirement
liabilities.A significant increase in property tax revenues over the last several fiscal years,
coupled with several successful state and federal grant programs,has strengthened CCCFPD’s
financial position.CCCFPD has current combined reserve balances of $182 Million.
Fiscal Determinations
Both districts have benefited from increasing property tax revenues over the last several years.
Property tax revenues in upcoming years are expected to normalize in the 4%range,according
to the County ’s annual economic forecast,while FY 24/25 may see somewhat reduced property
tax revenues due to the impact of higher mortgage rates possibly suppressing overall real estate
transaction activity.
CCCFPD had faced financial constraints in prior years associated with declining property tax
revenues and increased pension liabilities until 2013.More recently,the area within CCCFPD is
experiencing significant growth in both residential as well as commercial developments,
resulting in significantly increased property tax revenues,which coupled with Measure X sales
tax revenue,enabled the re-staffing of seven companies and the reopening of all previously
closed fire stations over the last decade.Measure X sales tax revenue has significantly impacted
46
the CCCFPD’s ability to expand community risk reduction projects and increase wildland fire
mitigation work throughout the county.Property tax revenues are projected to continue to
grow approximately 4%annually through FY 29/30.
Projected combined finances of the districts for operational and capital expenditures indicate
that the annexation of RHFPD by CCCFPD is a financially feasible option.The combined finances
of the reorganized agency would provide for increased sustainability of services within the
RHFPD,expansion of fire prevention services including weed abatement and exterior hazard
control,and provide for an industry-standard replacement schedule of critical fire apparatus
and emergency equipment.This financing structure capitalizes on cost savings resulting from
elimination of the RHFPD Fire Chief position,reduced pension costs,combining technology
infrastructure,fleet maintenance,reduced capital reserve needs of the smaller agency,and
other administrative functions.
Appropriations Limit
The existing appropriations limit (the "Gann Limit"),according to "County of Contra Costa,
2023-2024 County Special Districts Final Budgets"publication and the budget documents of the
agencies are:CCCFPD =$4,788,422,954 and RHFPD =$19,678,806.The adjusted Gann Limit for
Contra Costa County Fire Protection District would be a combination of the two Gann Limits of
the individual districts or approximately $4,808,101,760.
47
Proposed Transition Plan
The transition plan described below is intended to describe the process for the complete
organizational and service reorganization of the two districts.
Reorganization Timeline
The application to LAFCO will be submitted in late-Summer 2024.It is anticipated the LAFCO
review process will take six months to complete with a tentative annexation effective date of
July 1,2025.
Implementation Plan
Facilities and Apparatus Transfer
All facilities,equipment,and other apparatus existing as of finalization of the annexation which
are owned by the Rodeo-Hercules Fire Protection District shall by transferred to the Contra
Costa County Fire Protection District.The CCCFPD will meet and confer with the City of
Hercules regarding Fire Station 76 and determine a mutually acceptable form of ownership and
occupancy or property transfer.
Financial Transfer
Property Tax Sharing
It is assumed that all property taxes,which would otherwise be allocated by the Contra Costa
County Auditor-Controller to the Rodeo-Hercules Fire Protection District,would be allocated to
the Contra Costa County Fire Protection District upon filing of the Certificate of Completion of
the annexation and in each year thereafter.
Operating and Capital Reserve Funds
All fund balances that have been accumulated by the Rodeo-Hercules Fire Protection District
shall be transferred from their existing accounts to the Contra Costa County Fire Protection
District.CCCFPD will deposit capital funds into appropriate accounts for their stated purpose
consistent with current CCCFPD budgeting and accounting practices.CCCFPD shall determine if
RHFPD general fund balance will be directed to pay down the unfunded actuarial accrued
liability (UAAL)of the RHFPD safety cost group with CCCERA prior to the annexation effective
date.
48
Other Assets and Liabilities
All other assets (including land and improvements)and liabilities existing as of the annexation
shall be transferred from the Rodeo-Hercules Fire Protection District to the Contra Costa County
Fire Protection District.
Governance Structure
The reorganized Fire District will be governed by the Board of Supervisors,acting as the Board
of Directors of the Contra Costa County Fire Protection District.
Personnel and Employment Agreements
All full-time personnel from RHFPD who desire to do so are planned to be absorbed into
CCCFPD,with the exception of the Fire Chief and part-time fire prevention staff.Personnel will
be transitioned into positions most closely matched with their current job classifications.In
some cases,these positions will be represented by the same labor organization and in some
cases the labor organization will change,depending on the representation at CCCFPD.CCCFPD
is working with labor and County HR representatives to determine appropriate steps,actions,
and processes to perform a smooth transition of all impacted personnel.
Conditions of Service Required by the Land Use Agency
While this annexation is not for the purpose of serving new development,CCCFPD will comply
with all conditions of service as defined by each land use agency within the annexed territory,
such as development approval conditions,facility/impact charges,and fire flow requirements.
Within the Rodeo-Hercules Fire Protection District,land use authorities consist of the County
and the city of Hercules.

RECOMMENDATIONS:
APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Fire Chief,or designee,to execute a contract with Stryker Sales,LLC,in an
amount not to exceed $80,000,for maintenance of LifePak equipment (15 qty),for the period May 22,2025
through May 21, 2028.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Contractual expenditures of up to $80,000 are fully budgeted in the CCCFPD EMS Transport Fund.
BACKGROUND:
The Contra Costa County Fire Protection District (District)uses highly technical emergency medical equipment
to provide care on the scene of medical emergencies.LifePak defibrillators are utilized by Emergency Medical
Technician’s and Paramedics to analyze the heart's rhythm and,if necessary,deliver an electrical shock
(defibrillation)to help the heart re-establish an effective rhythm.They can also be used as a pacing device and
conduct 12-lead electrocardiograms. Maintenance of this equipment is provided by the manufacturer.
Since the manufacturer covers the first year,this agreement will commence on May 22,2025,seamlessly
extending the service coverage in sync with the District’s existing equipment service agreements.
The service plan obligates the District to hold Stryker harmless from and indemnify Stryker for any third-party
claims, losses, injuries, or death arising from the District's actions in performance under the service agreement.

RECOMMENDATIONS:
APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Fire Chief,or designee,to apply for and accept funding from Pacific,Gas,
and Electric (PG&E)’s Resilience Hub Design and Build grant in an amount not to exceed $100,000 to help
underserved and/or underrepresented,disadvantaged and/or vulnerable communities access power,shelter,
coordinate communication,distribute information and resources during a disaster and/or Public Safety Power
Shutoff (PSPS) event.
FISCAL IMPACT:
100%PG&E Corporation Funded.The District applied for PG&E grant funding in an amount not to exceed
$100,000.The amount awarded may be less than the amount requested.There is no local agency match
requirement or position cost cap for the FY24 PG&E Resiliency Grant program.This action is for the
application and acceptance of the grant if awarded.The grant will cover the entire cost of procuring an electric
vehicle to serve as the mobile resiliency hub.The only fiscal impact the district will incur is personnel costs to
staff the resilience hub during a disaster or PSPS event.
BACKGROUND:
Communities across Contra Costa County face growing threats from the projected changes in the state’s
climate.These risks include extreme events such as wildfires,coastal and inland flooding,and heat waves,
which can be intensified by Diablo wind events and slow onset stresses,including sea level rise and rising
CONTRA COSTA COUNTY Printed on 8/8/2024Page 1 of 2

which can be intensified by Diablo wind events and slow onset stresses,including sea level rise and rising
average temperatures.At-risk communities often lack a safe gathering place or access to critical services and
information when impacted by climate-driven extreme events,local emergencies,or disruptions.Historically,
such events have disproportionately affected vulnerable populations who may have fewer resources to prepare
for or otherwise address disruptive events.Resilience hubs traditionally provide a physical space or wrap-
around services and/or resources supporting a community.Our proposal supports a mobile electric vehicle that
will provide the fire district,in partnership with PG&E,the unique ability to bring these services to
communities rather than adding the strain of requiring people to seek out and travel to a brick-and-mortar
location, also reducing carbon pollution.
When the mobile hub is not responding to an event,the electric vehicle will be used as an education hub,
bringing awareness of the Contra Costa Wildfire Mitigation Program and Public Education support offered by
the Contra Costa Fire Protection District year-round.During a community event,the mobile electric vehicle
hub will help build community relationships before,during,and after disruptions by providing a gathering point
for information distribution and phone charging during a power outage.
Deliverables for the resilience hub include:
·Identifying, summarizing, and reporting on event response;
·Tracking and monitoring collaboration efforts;
·Preparing and submitting quarterly programmatic and fiscal reports; and
·Public outreach and awareness campaign.
The Contra Costa County Fire Protection District Fire Prevention Bureau will develop plans and provide
recommendations for community education and outreach to public and non-profit agencies,assist in new
mitigation efforts and technology,and broadcast innovative programs available to residents to support
mitigation and disaster recovery programs.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If this action is not approved, the fire district will not apply for this opportunity.

FISCAL IMPACT:
Budgeted. 100% CCFPD General Operating Fund
BACKGROUND:
The Fire District currently uses the Google Suite of products for daily operations.The current agreement is
expiring and the District needs time to finalize the negotiations of a new contract with new payment terms.The
additional time is required for the required internal reviews and procurement processes.Increasing the payment
limit and extending it through September 30,2024 will allow District and County Staff to finalize the new
agreement and bring it to the board at a future date.
In 2021,the Board approved a three-year term from April 10,2021 through April 10,2024.However,because

of the time it took to process the purchase order and activate the product,the three-year term did not formally
begin until June 2,2021,therefore changing the termination date to June 2,2024.The Fire District is currently
working on a new three-year agreement for the Google workspace,email and other hosted services operations,
but Google is requiring an extension of the original agreement during this interim period,during which Google
is continuing to provide services in accordance with the original agreement.
The Contra Costa County Fire Protection District (the "District")has over 650 employees.Effective digital
communications and collaboration are critical to the District's operations and organizational effectiveness.
Prior to implementing the Google Suite,the District faced challenges with its email software,which resulted in
duplicate work and inefficient use of staff hours.The seamless collaborative features of the Google Workspace
products have greatly improved communications and collaboration between field,training,fire prevention,and
other critical administrative personnel, making internal processes more effective and efficient.
Reliable cloud storage provides secure and scalable cloud storage,ensuring that the district's data is accessible
from anywhere at any time.Unlike their predecessors,Google Workspace products offer less reliance on
physical storage devices and reduce the risk of data loss.
Google Workspace products offer priority security,such as two-factor authentication,reduced data loss
prevention,and encryption,to protect sensitive information from threats.They also support HIPAA compliance
rules and regulations.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If this Agreement is not approved, the District will lose access to its primary source of communication.

FISCAL IMPACT:
Budgeted. 100% CCCFPD General Operating Fund.
BACKGROUND:
The District has an ongoing requirement for professional services related to conducting workplace
investigations. On November 1, 2023, the District entered into a contract with Van Dermyden Makus Law
Corporation a firm with specialized expertise in workplace investigations, employment law, and litigation, to
provide these services.
Since the initiation of this contract, the scope of a particular complex personnel investigation has significantly
expanded. The increased complexity and breadth of the investigation have necessitated more time and resources
than initially anticipated to ensure a thorough and comprehensive resolution.
Given the expanded scope of the investigations, additional support from Van Dermyden Makus Law
Corporation is required. This necessitates an amendment to the original contract to accommodate the increased
workload and associated costs. The District aims to continue leveraging the specialized expertise of Van

Report Title:Contract with East Bay Municipal Utility District
☒Recommendation of the County Administrator ☐ Recommendation of Board Committee
RECOMMENDATIONS:
RATIFY the Fire Chief’s,or designee’s,execution of a contract with East Bay Municipal Utility District
(EBMUD)for the installation of one (1)fire hydrant at Fire Station 17,in Lafayette,in an amount not to
exceed $38,000, including indemnity by the Contra Costa County Fire Protection District.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Budgeted: 100% CCCFPD General Fund
BACKGROUND:
The East Bay Municipal Utility District (EBMUD)is the utility that provides water to Contra Costa County
Fire Protection District’s Fire Station 17,in Lafayette.EBMUD is in the process of installing a new water main
in front of Fire Station 17.Fire Station 17 does not currently have a fire hydrant installed at the site,but
EBMUD can install a fire hydrant at Fire Station 17 as part of this work.Installing a hydrant during this
window is a cost-effective way to accomplish this.This will serve the District well,as this station has been
identified for a complete rebuild in the coming years.
The District strives to install fire hydrants at all its fire stations.Ensuring fire hydrants are installed at all fire
stations is crucial for maintaining operational readiness,especially during fire season.Fire hydrants enable fire
personnel to quickly fill the water tanks on fire engines,ensuring they can respond swiftly to emergencies.
The presence of readily accessible water sources can significantly impact the efficiency and effectiveness of
firefighting efforts.

Report Title:Emergency Ambulance Account Write-Off Report
☒Recommendation of the County Administrator ☐ Recommendation of Board Committee
RECOMMENDATIONS:
RECEIVE a report of the July 1,2023,through June 30,2024 account balance write-offs of Contra Costa
County Fire Protection District emergency ambulance services fees and charges totaling $620,922.96.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The total amount of write-offs from July 1, 2023, through June 30, 2024, is $620,922.96. This represents
unrecoverable revenues to the CCCFPD Emergency Medical Services Transport Fund.
BACKGROUND:
On October 11,2022,the Board of Directors adopted revised policies and procedures for the billing and
collection for emergency ambulance services.Policy AMB-6 (Write-Off Policy)requires the Fire District to
report all account write-offs to the Board of Directors at a regularly scheduled Board meeting.
The Contra Costa County Fire Protection District responds to community emergency transport needs,obtains
client insurance information when feasible during incident response reporting,and makes all efforts to recover
service costs.
In some situations,clients do not have insurance or the amount covered by the insurance leaves a balance that
imposes a significant hardship on the client.If insurance information cannot be obtained,billing and insurance
request notices are mailed to clients to recover costs,primarily from insurance companies or client payments.
When insurance information is available,the District can bill insurance companies for emergency transport
services provided to their members.However,timely billing periods can pose challenges when the District must
file claims within certain time periods,which can be anywhere from 60 days or less to up to one year from the
date of services before the claim becomes uncollectible.

File #:24-2382,Version:1
In compliance with the recent Write-Off Policy,clients may request that a portion or the entire amount owed be
waived through the Compassionate Care Application (CCA).Eligibility for such waivers is based on a sliding
scale for clients at or below 250% of the federal poverty level.
Most of the write-offs result from an approved CCA waiver,billing errors,or enough time has passed that
insurance companies have deemed the claims uncollectible.The attached report reflects account write-offs due
to uncollectible balances in the amount of $620,922.96 for the period of July 1, 2023, through June 30, 2024.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
The Board would not accept the District's write-off approvals report,which would conflict with account
receivable accounts due to the uncollectible balances being written off.
