Specific Request(s) or Recommendation(s) & Background & Justification
RECOMMENDATION:
Accept status report from County Administrator on the functional integration
of the east county paid-on-call fire districts with the Contra Costa County
Fire Protection District.
REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION/BACKGROUND:
On January 25, 1994 the Board of Supervisors adopted Resolution No. 94/90
which provides for the annexation of the Oakley, Orinda, Pinole, Riverview
and West County Fire Protection Districts and a portion of the Bethel Island
Fire Protection District to the Contra Costa County Fire Protection District.
The Board also directed the continued exploration of functionally integrating
the East Diablo and Bethel Island Fire Protection Districts with each other
and with the Contra Costa County Fire Protection District.
Supervisor Torlakson, County Administrator's staff and the involved fire
chiefs have met several times to discuss functional integration. Various
alternative management structures are being discussed to achieve the
following objectives :
• Reduce operating costs
• Increase effectiveness of fire services
• Promote standardization of procedures and equipment
• Improve utilization of personnel

Because many elements of the functional integration of the paid-on-call
districts are related to the outcome of the proposed consolidation of the
merit system districts, we suggest that further action be deferred on the
integration issue until after completion of the reorganization process by the
Local Agency Formation Commission.
