TO: BOARD OF SUPERVISORS
FROM: Supervisor Tom Torlakson Contra
Costa
DATE: May 22, 1990 County
SUBJECT: REVIEW OF FIVE-YEAR PLANS OF COUNTY FIRE DISTRICTS
i
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
( 1) Direct the County Administrator Office to conduct an
analysis of the five-year plans for each of the county fire districts
for review by the Finance Committee. 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.
