TO: BOARD OF SUPERVISORS _/ rVl
FROM: Mark Finucane, Health Services Director #NA Contra
By: Elizabeth A. Spooner, Contracts Administrator Costa
DATE: January 30, 1991 County
Authorization for Retroactive Payment to City of Richmond (Fire Department)
SUBJECT:
to Cover the Cost of Hazardous Materials Training for Fire Fighters
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
I. RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Ratify the expenditure of accrued AB 2185 fees to pay for hazardous materials
training for City of Richmond (Fire Department) personnel and authorize the County
Auditor-Controller to pay the outstanding balance, not to exceed a total of
$49,802.06, to the City of Richmond (Fire Department) to cover the cost of said
training for FY 1989-90, upon approval of properly documented demands for payment
by the Health Services Director or his designee.
II. FINANCIAL IMPACT:
This payment is funded by AB 2185 inspection fees included in the Health Services
Department's Budget.
III. REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATIONS/BACKGROUND:
In June 1990, the County Administrator approved, and the Purchasing Agent executed,
Contract #24-351 with the City of Richmond (Fire Department) in the amount of
$24,500 to pay for hazardous materials training for Richmond Fire Department
personnel. The Department had previously agreed to use part of its AB 2185
inspection fees to pay for the training. Training for the Fire Department included
special Hazardous Materials training classes through University of California
Extension, the California Fire Academy, and California Specialized Training
Institute; Hazardous Materials First Responder classes through the community
college; and in-house training by individual experts.
Contract #24-351 inadvertently expired June 30, 1990, without having been amended
to increase the payment limit to cover the actual costs of training. However,
the Health Services Department and the City of Richmond (Fire Department) had an
oral agreement that the Department would allocate some of its AB 2185 inspection
fees to fund hazardous materials training for the firefighters, with the result
that there is a Hazardous Materials Response Team trained to react to any hazardous
materials incident in West County.
Therefore, we are requesting that your Board ratify the actions of Health Services
Department staff in agreeing to pay for the necessary hazardous materials training
and authorize payment of the costs of such training for the City of Richmond Fire
Department.
