REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION/BACKGROUND: The Kensington Fire Protection District is in the process of contracting with the E1 Cerrito City Fire Department for the provision of fire protection services to the District by the City Fire Department. This contractual arrangement will result in the displacement of the District's employees . Accordingly, seven of the District's employees have requested transfer into the Contra Costa County Fire Protection District. The conditions of the proposed transfer were negotiated between County staff and the United Professional Firefighters Union, Local 1230 . These conditions result in virtually no added cost since the employees will fill budgeted vacant positions . The transferring employees will be subject to the same salary and benefit package as Contra Costa County Fire District employees . Existing vacation balances will be paid off by the Kensington District. Sick leave balances, which were accrued at twice the County rate, will be reduced by half for purposes of future sick leave usage. However, the total balances will be retained for retirement credits .

Contact: Chief Allen Little Attested: DEC 2 o94 cc: County Administrator Phil Batchelor, Clerk of County Counsel the Board of Supervisors County Auditor-Controller and County Administrator Risk Management Retirement Office By: ��'�° " � � , DEPUTY Kensington Fire Protection District Contra Costa County Fire Protection District Personnel Page 2 December 20, 1994 Questions of any potential Workers ' Compensation and/or Retirement System liability resulting from the transfer were thoroughly discussed with the Risk Management Division of the County Administrator's Office and the Retirement System Administrator and the County Auditor-Controller. Since the Kensington employees are above the entry step of their salary ranges, their retirement costs will be modestly higher than the cost for new employees hired at the entry step. With the exception of these slightly higher retirement costs for a three to four-year period, there are no other liabilities related to the proposed transfer. We believe these minimal added costs will be more than offset by training cost savings since the Kensington employees already have an average of fifteen ( 15) years of firefighting experience which will reduce the need for training. a.9_ ,'F + -POSITION ADJUSTMENT REQUEST No. Date: Dept.
