This should include: (a) A full analysis of capital needs projected over the next five years, the fees needed to handle those capital needs, and a full analysis of the benefit assessment fees for operators . (b) An analysis and breakdown of the types of calls in each district to which we are responding and to gain some idea of how our responses compare with that of other emergency agencies--who arrives at the scene first--CHP, sheriff, ambulance lor the fire department? (c) Analysis of any other types of information that would enable us to evaluate whether we will be meeting our growth management criteria for appropriate and quality fire service to each of the communities in Contra Costa County. (2) In addition, the County Administrator's Office should be directed to set up standards, in conjunction with our special fire service consultant, in terms of reporting information to enable us to determine how our various fire agencies are doing in' response times--get out time, running time, etc. BACKGROUND INFORMATION: Our new county general plan stresses "growth management" and service agency "sign-offs" that new growth proposals will not negatively effect their services. This five-year fire district planning process has served :;the county well but needs to be updated--particularly in the rapidly growing East County.
