DATE: May 15, 2007 County Srd-cvun
SUBJECT: Annual Fire Protection Payment for Area of Former Pinole Fire Protection District
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S)OR RECOMMENDATION(S)&BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATIONS:
Approve and authorize a payment not to exceed $293,871 to the City of Pinole for fire protection services
provided to the Contra Costa County Fire Protection District in the area of the former Pinole Fire Protection
District for FY 2006-07 pursuant to an agreement approved November 18, 1980.
BACKGROUND/REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION:
In November of 1980, the Board of Supervisors and the City of Pinole entered into an agreement for the
provision of fire protection services by the City to the Pinole Fire Protection District. The contract is renewed
automatically from year to year and provides for an adjustment in the yearly fee at the time of renewal. The
annual fee was based upon an allocation of the direct fire and communications costs plus an overhead
factor for administration. The County was charged a percentage of the aforesaid fire protection cost based
on the amount of the assessed valuation in the unincorporated area in relation to the amount of the total
assessed valuation, both in the incorporated and unincorporated areas, served by the City of Pinole Fire
Department. Commencing with FY 1999-00 and using the FY 1998-99 payment as the base amount, the
annual payment has been increased from year to year by four(4) percent. Also, there was a $6,500 annual
charge for the five (5) fiscal years from 2000-01 to 2004-05 to help defray the cost of a new fire apparatus.
Effective July 1, 1994, the Pinole Fire Protection District was annexed to the Contra Costa County Fire
Protection District. Accordingly, Contra Costa County Fire is now responsible for fire protection services in
the area of the former Pinole Fire District. As indicated in the fire district consolidation plan, fire services in
the Pinole area will continue to be provided by the City of Pinole Fire Department.
