SUBJECT: Fund Balance Designation Releases in General Funds of Contra Costa County,
Moraga and Orinda Fire Protection Districts
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATION:
AUTHORIZE the release of$1,443,060 from the Fund Balance designation in the Contra Costa County
Fire Protection District General Fund No. 202000 (Dept 7199), $174,524 from the Fund Balance
designation in the Moraga Fire Protection District General Fund No. 201000 (Dept 7050) and $151,666
from the Fund Balance designation in the Orinda Fire Protection District General Fund No. 201800 (Dept
7080); and AUTHORIZE related appropriation and revenue adjustments.
f FINANCIAL IMPACT:
The above releases will reduce the Fund Balance Designations in the three (3) Fire Protection Districts to
the following amounts as follows:
• Contra Costa County Fire Protection District: $4,481,188 ($6,231,851 original -$1,443,060
-$307,603 previously approved November 19, 1996 for new Station 87 in City of Pittsburg).
• Moraga Fire Protection District: $267,645 ($442,169 original -$174,524)
• Orinda Fire Protection District: $582,564 ($734,230 original- $151,666)
BACKGROUND/REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION:
Since the preparation and adoption of.final FY 1996-97 budgets, salary negotiations have been
concluded with the various unions. The agreed-upon salary increases affecting the current fiscal year
were not provided for in the budget. Consequently, releases need to be made from the Fund Balance
designation to cover the salary increases. In both the Contra Costa County and Orinda Fire Protection
Districts, amounts budgeted for the removal and replacement of.underground fuel tanks as required by
State law need to be increased to reflect the current projected costs. In the Contra Costa County Fire
Protection District, monies are needed for five (5) Lifepak 10 Monitor Defibrillators for the initiation of the
Paramedic Program and additional funding is needed for current projected costs involving building
improvements and re-roofing at Station 15.
The Fund Balance designation in each Fire District was established to provide resources for equipment
replacement, capital projects, and fixed asset acquisition which were expected to develop in future
periods. A portion of this designation is needed to fund salary increases. Accordingly, please authorize
the Auditor-Controller to reduce in part, a portion of the fund balance designation established previously
-for a specific purpose to fund increased salary costs.
