In addition to the FY2026-27 Draft Budget, the Finance Team publishes a Draft Budget Narrative with the annual budget message, charts and graphs, analysis of fiscal status and narratives for each line item in the draft budget. This provides the public, County and staff with transparency of the revenues and expenditures of the annual budget. The documents for posted on the finance page on the lahcfd.org website. https://www.lahcfd.org/governance/district-finances/ The annual budget is also configurated into a program-based budget by each service area.

https://www.lahcfd.org/download/january-20-2026-fire-district-commission-meeting/ Fire and Emergency Medical Services provided to Los Altos Hills residents in accordance with a 2017-2026 10-year Agreement.

Tonight, the Santa Clara County Central Fire Protection District, also known as the Santa Clara County Fire Department (SCCFD) will join in a presentation of the fire and emergency medical services provided to Los Altos Hills residents as set forth in a 10-year Service Agreement between LAHCFD and SCCFD. The current 10-year Agreement is the third of two prior 10-year Agreements totaling 30 years of service to the LAH community and region. The first year of service was 1996.

The purpose of this section of the report is to summarize why SCCFD continues to be uniquely positioned to provide the highest level of fire and emergency services to Los Altos Hills residents and the community.

Overview.

SCCFD is a regional, all-hazards fire agency providing comprehensive emergency services across West Valley communities and unincorporated areas of Santa Clara County, including Los Altos Hills.

SCCFD’s scale, specialized resources, international accreditation, and leadership responsibilities distinguish it as a premier fire and emergency medical service agency and provides Los Altos Hills with depth, redundancy, and resilience during both routine and large-scale emergencies.

3 | P a g e
Key Message. SCCFD provides a high-tier, "all-risk" service model that ensures Los Altos Hills has immediate access to specialized resources without the need for mutual aid requests.

As a separate legal entity, SCCFD follows county processes but is able to procure, maintain and be a progressive leader in fire service initiatives and delivery.

1. Regional Footprint: SCCFD operates from a strategically distributed network of fire stations that create a response footprint that spans from north to south Santa Clara County, allowing multiple access routes and reinforcement options that can immediately be deployed to Los Altos Hills. This model ensures that service delivery does not only depend on a single closest station but instead benefits from layered coverage and rapid escalation capability during highrisk or extended incidents. a. Closest Unit Response: SCCFD operates 19 fire stations across the county; utilizing closest unit dispatching to ensure the closest most appropriate apparatus responds to LAH emergency.
b. District Coverage: SCCFD daily staffing includes 23 companies, 3 Battalion Chiefs, and 1 Safety Officer. 79 firefighters are on duty daily providing a scale of immediate response. This network and staffing provide LAH residents with faster access to additional resources during complex incidents, redundancy during simultaneous emergencies, consistent services even when units are elsewhere. c.

2. Specialized Response Capabilities
SCCFD is an all-risk agency, capable of managing the complete spectrum of emergencies faced by Los Altos Hills, including its Wildland-Urban Interface (WUI) exposure.

Core capabilities include:
● Structural and wildland fire suppression
● Emergency medical services
● Technical rescue
● Hazardous materials response
● Fire prevention, investigation, and community risk reduction ● Specialized resources that include apparatuses, search and rescue team, fuels crew, communication units capabilities in remote areas or when technology systems are impacted or fail, EMS trailers, personnel resources without relying on mutual aid. ● Planning, Development and Communication divisions
● Facilities expansion: expertise to assist LAHCFD with the build of a new fire facility if feasible and approved.

3. Wildland-Urban Interface (WUI) and Community Safety
SCCFD has implemented advanced evacuation planning and notification tools including Genasys Protect to coordinate evacuation during fast-moving wildfires. ● Education & Enforcement: Over 2,500 WUI letters mailed annually to LAH and surrounding areas focused on wildfire education including defensible space requirements, home hardening, and other wildfire preparedness resources. ● Active Inspections: 800+ WUI inspections and 500+ hydrant inspections conducted every year, working directly with LAHCFD, Cal Water and Purissima Hills for repairs. ● Wildfire Preparedness: Annual wildfire workshops hosted in LAH in partnership with LAHCFD and ongoing wildfire outreach and education.

4. County and Statewide Leadership
Los Altos Hills is protected by a department that supports the California Fire Service. Beyond local response, SCCFD plays a critical role in county and regional emergency coordination.

SCCFD provides leadership within the Santa Clara County Operational Area, coordinating fire and emergency mutual aid response across county jurisdictions. SCCFD is also the California Mutual Aid Region II coordinator, supporting regional resource coordination

4 | P a g e
related to large-scale incidents. Cal OES Region II coordination involves coordinating fire/rescue resources in 16 counties from the Oregon border to Monterey County. ● Overhead Strength: The department maintains a deep roster of Qualified Overhead Personnel (incident commanders, division supervisors, safety officers, and others qualified as key incident management qualified positions) capable of managing largescale disasters. ● County Department Leadership: oversight for Santa Clara County 9-1-1 Communications, oversight for Santa Clara County Office of Emergency Management, provides County Fire Marshal services throughout the county and services to LAH and serves as a collaborator with LAH staff and LAHCFD. ● State Leadership: The Fire Chief sits on the Board of Directors representing Fire Counties North. Other key positions filled by County Fire personnel include: sitting on the Operations Taskforce, Incident Safety Specialist Subcommittee, HazMat Specialist Subcommittee, Technical Search And Rescue Subcommittee, Communications Specialist Subcommittee, and Wildland Subcommittee. These members play key roles and determine best practices throughout the state of California in their respective areas of expertise.

These responsibilities ensure that Los Altos Hills benefits from:
● Immediate access to strategically located resources
● Established interagency coordination before disasters occur through Automatic and Mutual Aid agreements
● Qualified command staff with experience managing complex, multi-agency incidents Summary. SCCFD has proven performance and partnership with LAHCFD, residents and the community in Los Altos Hills. SCCFD has successfully mitigated multiple fire incidents and delivered reliable and expedient emergency medical services throughout the 30 years of dedicated service to LAH residents, community and region. These services occur in all weather conditions, 24/7, in emergencies and disasters. SCCFD delivers services specialized due to the familiarity of the LAH residents, roads, terrain and access challenges with highly trained firefighters and paramedics, apparatuses, command decisions and support resources.

The current 10-year Fire and Emergency Medical Services Agreement continues throiugh December 31, 2026. A successor 10-year Fire and Emergency Medical Services Agreement is to be presented to the LAHCFD Board of Commissioners for consideration of approval to continue the services and partnership fostered over the last thirty years.

LAHCFD FY2026-2027 Draft Budget Narrative – January 20, 2026 3 DRAFT BUDGET MESSAGE
The Los Altos Hills County Fire District (LAHCFD or District) FY26-27 Draft Budget (Draft Budget) process for the fiscal year beginning July 1, 2026, and ending June 30, 2027, began with an operational planning session held on August 22, 2025, a full day meeting including all staff, servicearea managers, and key contractors. This year’s session examined a productive past year, placed a special focus on the major projects underway and planned for the next eighteen months. As always, the session highlighted the operational with emphasis on the recently updated Workplan Version 3.

These discussions also addressed the reorganization, reassignment, and solidification of Service Areas as the District continues to gainfully address community needs. The Draft Budget creation could not have progressed without the guidance and support of the District Commission (Commission), the footing of the 2023-27 Strategic Plan, and close coordination with the County of Santa Clara (County) Office of Budget & Analysis (OBA). The Draft Budget calendar reflects the County’s recommendation and adoption process starting in February 2026 and extending to June 2026.

The Draft Budget continues the District’s mission to preserve the life and property safety of the community and surrounding neighbors. It aligns allocations to outcomes outlined in the Workplan, presented in the Fall of 2025. This vital operational tool connects the dots between the District’s mission, strategic goals, Draft Budget, and service outcomes. Budget creation involved the direct input of the managers within each Service Area outlined below with great attention to deliverables. The process benefited greatly this year from the newly implemented cloud-based Payroll and Financial system upgrades. The District continues to pursue further systems development as the Draft Budget process approaches a new era of design, Workplan connectivity, web accessibility, and platform integration.

The District upholds its priority on maintaining and bolstering core County contracts for fire and emergency medical services, augmented fire safety staffing and apparatus, a comprehensive array of life and safety risk mitigation projects, community education, emergency preparation, and community outreach. It does so while securing a strong fiscal status, an important factor considering the large dollar infrastructure projects on the near- and longer-term horizon. Stability, readiness, and sustainability continue as the preeminent goals.

LAHCFD FY2026-2027 Draft Budget Narrative – January 20, 2026 4 The Draft Budget is best viewed through the lens of regional partnerships including Santa Clara County Fire Safe Council (SCCFSC), Santa Clara County Central Fire Protection District (SCCCFPD), County of Santa Clara, Purissima Hills Water District, Caltrans, and adjoining agencies such as Midpeninsula Regional Open Space District, City of Palo Alto, Stanford University, and the Town of Los Altos Hills. It is also important to note that the District highly leverages contract services in both planning and implementing its many projects, programs, and services. These associations are evident in both the Workplan and within the Draft Budget as presented in Service Area format as an addendum to this narrative.

Regionalization continues its sturdy foothold with substantial multi-year budget allocations, now in their third year, for the I-280 Fuel Break Project (I-280). The significant resource requirement and operational impact of I-280 shaped the requests included in the prior year Budget and again appears as a key item of concentration in FY26-27. As expected, the allocation for the third year of this project is the single largest project line-item entry in the Draft Budget.

District planning discussions, and this Draft Budget, center on the large-scale projects now transitioning from planning to actionable operations. The Draft Budget also projects the delivery and use of funds of approximately $4.3M for new and replacement fire apparatus, including two engines and one fire truck which were contracted for in past years. Lastly, the Draft Budget emphasizes the District’s unyielding effort to provide proactive life and property fire safety programs and remain diligent in planning for contingency unknowns, a key posture underscored by the Southern California catastrophic fire in 2025.

Even in the light of noted major initiaves, staff maintains an unwavering focus on the many ongoing and important strategic projects & programs including Integrated Hazardous Fuel Reduction (IHFR) Defensible Space Brush Chipping and Debris Removal, Home Ignition Zone Assessment (HIZ) and rebate program , evacuation Route, and vegetation Management projects, Firewise USA communities, weed abatement collaboration and investments in regional safety technologies. These aspirations are made possible with the deployment of expert area contractors and supporting professional services to further a continued highlight on community projects, capital, and infrastructure. Internally, the Draft Budget continues to advance staff training, career development, and technology.

The guidelines and themes taking front stage this year include:
• Maintaining staff at current levels
• Leveraging contract and temporary employee services
• Delivering major life and property safety large scale projects • Continuing to advance programs & projects momentum
• Realizing the funding of fire apparatus – existing contract obligations assumed to be paid • Reducing the gap between budget and actual expenditure over time • Budgeting for unknowns to remain prepared for emergency agency demands

LAHCFD FY2026-2027 Draft Budget Narrative – January 20, 2026 6 Community Infrastructure & Major Projects Cost Center In the prior year, staff proposed the first-time creation of a Capital Improvement Project Fund (CIP) and initiated this conversation and concept with the County. Ultimately the creation of a CIP fund was deferred with the introduction of a new Cost Center within the District General Fund. This enhances the ability of the District to track infrastructure and multi-year high dollar cost projects. As major project contracts are finalized and executed, the fund commitment designations will apply within the normal year-end financial reporting process.

As this new model develops, staff will continue to explore, in coordination with County OBA, the possibility of a separate Fund for such activities. The future potential of creating a new distinct fund will entail seeding it with the dollars necessary, both current year and projected, to fund major infrastructure improvements, such as the I-280 multi-year project, a new fire facility, El Monte facility refurbishments, and defined capital purchases and/or reimbursements.

The Past and Looking To The Future
The LAHCFD Board of Commissioners began building its infrastructure and staffing in October 2018 when the first employee, the General Manager, was hired. The District progressed to the successful completion of a County Management Audit Review and fulfilled the recommendations of the audit in the subsequent years. COVID-19 curtailed the implementation of many District IHFR programs and the ability to hold vital in-person meetings. Staff responded by transitioning to hybrid meetings, expanding community outreach, utilizing social media communications, promoting the lahcfd.org website, and adjusting operations to a virtual setting. As conditions eased, the District resumed vegetation mitigation projects, launched Firewise USA, prepared for the HIZ Rebate initiative, reinstituted inperson public meetings, completed its 2023-2027 Strategic Plan, developed a formal Workplan identifying strategic goals by Service Area, re-set its Draft Budget with a focus on resources, initiated revisions to the Community Wildfire Protection Plan Annex 4 (CWPP), and initiated the first phases of this regional multi-year I-280 Fuel Break Project (projected in this Draft Budget at $6.9M with assumed completion in 2027).

Overall programs and services were enhanced with the FY24-25 authorization of additional funding for staff, vehicles and equipment now realized fully. These resources have supported continued program delivery and implementation.

The District is tasked with addressing unforeseen emergencies and changing environmental conditions as a disaster response, preparedness, and risk-reduction agency. Maintaining flexibility has translated into an approach of continuous improvement and ongoing internal reassessment, which drives how Budget allocations are developed. Considerations in this regard include:
• Asking how programs and services can continue to meet community needs • Identifying opportunities for improvement
• Recognizing increasing operational complexity and the need to anticipate unknowns • Leveraging fiscal strength in establishing Draft Budget resources and action plans • Adopting operational best practices and optimizing technology • Purchasing and planning for the infrastructure necessary to support sustainability and responsiveness

LAHCFD FY2026-2027 Draft Budget Narrative – January 20, 2026 7 • Sourcing and retaining staff with expertise to support program deliverables A comprehensive multi-year Workplan was presented to the Board of Commissioners in the Fall of 2025 to establish a pathway for the delivery of key operational goals. The Workplan integrates with and is foundational to the Draft Budget process by quantifying resources by Service Area, highlighting community relevance and linking staff accountability.

Consistent with the theme of continuous improvement , the District Workplan, Service Area Draft Budget, Chart of Services, and Organization Chart have been reorganized and restructured in response to staffing changes and recent hires. A review of these updated documents reflects the consolidation of the former Outreach and Emergency Preparation (Outreach) Service Area into the redesigned Operations & Administration (Ops-Admin); Planning, Programs Grants & Outreach and Community (PPG); Education Risk Reduction Emergency Preparation (CERR); and Finance & Technology (FinanceIT) Service Areas. The Draft Budget Narrative again includes a supporting “Allocations by Service Area” appendix that reflects these updates.

Considering fiscal challenges at Federal, State and County levels, the Draft Budget was developed to maintain stable and level allocations . It exhibits no increase in overall full-time equivalent (FTE) staffing levels and no material new asset purchases. The District has achieved nearly full staffing (13.5 FTE), meeting a key operational objective. Vehicle purchases and several technological items supporting daily operations have also been realized.

Taking a fiscally measured posture, the Draft Budget continues to fund established high impact programs and project services. The modest operational allocation increases included herein are mostly attributed to: (1) annual contractual cost adjustments for fire & emergency Services as provided by SCCCFPD (2) phase 3 of the I-280 initiative (costed over three years), and (3) targeted increases in temporary staffing and professional services to support high-impact major projects underway. This Draft Budget also incorporates the flashy fuels roadside mitigation program, proposed as a pilot in FY25-26, into the evacuation routes program model. Funding for the District’s HIZ Program is being enhanced based on the program’s increased activity and growing demand.

With roll-forward allocations handled supplementally via a separate County budgetary process, the Draft Budget projects preserving previously approved allocations related to (1) phases One and Two of the I-280 project (2) study and design allocations set aside for the potential of a new District-funded fire facility (3) implementation of AI fire prevention sensors, (4) advancement of the regional Programmatic Environmental Impact Report (EIR) and (4) web site and technology platform upgrades.

These roll forward allocations are described in more detail below. The Draft Budget also recognizes the importance of integrating contingencies to support operational readiness for fire/emergency and disaster response agency.

It is key to note that the Draft Budget includes substantial assumptions subject to revision as the process continues. These include (1) continuation of the regional fire services model at projected standard rates (2) delivery and realized payment for the three fire apparatus vehicles contracted for with SCCCFPD, (3) estimated total project cost of the I-280 fuel break project pending final bid quantification in 2026 (4) final County property tax adjustments & roll forward approvals.

LAHCFD FY2026-2027 Draft Budget Narrative – January 20, 2026 8 NARRATIVE LAYOUT
The Draft Budget Narrative (Narrative) is an informational booklet created for ease of reading, reference, and understanding of the Draft Budget as approved by the District Board of Commissioners and proposed for adoption by the County Board of Supervisors. It highlights the most essential elements of the District fiscal plan and serves as a fiscal guide for staff as they manage operational responsibilities.

The Narrative provides a summary-to-detail view of the District’s finances and is organized to answer five essential questions:
1) What is the mission of the District and what guiding principles shape its fiscal plans? 2) How much funding does the District have and expect to have through the Draft Budget term? 3) What are the District’s incoming revenue streams?
4) What are the District’s expenditure plans?
5) How and why has the Draft Budget changed?
The Narrative offers an executive overview of the themes and strategy. Charts and graphs provide summaries, highlights, and comparative illustrations of the substance and focus of the expenditure plan. Subsequent pages summarize and break out fund balances, revenues, and expenditures, with a focus on key categories including “Property Taxes,” “Salaries & Payroll Taxes,” “Operating Expenses,” “Fire Contract Services,” “Projects and Programs,” “Professional and Specialized Services,” and “Contract Services (Consultants).”

LAHCFD FY2026-2027 Draft Budget Narrative – January 20, 2026 12 DRAFT BUDGET OVERVIEW
The Draft Budget finds the District in solid financial standing, consistent with the FY24-25 financial audit. It projects a healthy beginning fund balance and preserves established fund reserve commitments that flow into projected FY26-27 fund balance estimates. This Draft Budget anticipates increased allocations for Life & Property Safety projects, most notably I-280. It also projects the multimillion payout of contracted fire apparatus funding to SCCCFPD, from actual expenditures in FY25-26 estimates and committed funds in FY26-27. Accordingly, this Draft Budget projects a significant use of available and committed fund balances. Consistent with the goal of maintaining a level budget, total proposed expenditure allocations have come in at $223K, or just a fraction above 1%, above the prior year adopted Budget.

Total expenditure equals $22.39M (vs $22.17M in the prior year). Total revenues are estimated at $19.18M primarily from property tax. Together, projected revenues and expenditures result in an estimated use of $3.21M in available fund balances to support the key initiatives outlined in the District Strategic Plan and Workplan.

LAHCFD FY2026-2027 Draft Budget Narrative – January 20, 2026 13

LAHCFD FY2026-2027 Draft Budget Narrative – January 20, 2026 14 During Draft Budget development, staff removed FY25-26 expenditures that were one time in nature and updated FY26-27 for new and emerging requests. These updates are highlighted below in bullet format. The most notable prior-year one-time items removed consist of year-two of the multi-year I280 Fuel Break Project allocation of $2.75M (subject to roll-forward), the final current year vehicle purchase approximating $47K, $715K for a new fire station feasibility study and design (subject to roll-forward), $250K for year-two of a regional Programmatic EIR and $55K for technology software platforms (subject to roll-forward).

The Draft Budget continues to fund core program services while allowing for contingencies necessary for fire and emergency readiness. An additional $400K was added for year three of the I-280 Fuel Break Project for a total FY26-27 allocation of $3.15M. This Draft Budget also continues robust allocations for defensible space chipping and debris removal, evacuation routes and reinforces the rapidly growing HIZ program by an additional $191K, for a total of $491K.

Two major assumptions are of critical importance as one reviews this Draft Budget. As it relates to projected allocations for the I-280 Fuel Break Project, it is key to note that the original grant-based cost estimate, updated for inflation in this Draft Budget to $6.9M, is currently undergoing detailed engineering review and subject to material change as contract engineers finalize their independent project costing. Even beyond this point, a final number will not be validated until the expected field project Request for Proposal (RFP) is issued and completed. Engineering estimates are expected in January 2026 while the results of RFP will not be available until May or June 2026. Should project cost estimates exceed the current allocations, a remaining possibility, decision points will be presented to the Commission for discussion of scope and cost considerations. As it relates to fire services, the Draft Budget assumes the renewal of the existing contract model beyond December 2026. In coordination with County OBA, the preferred approach from a budgetary perspective is to wait for the final determination of renewed contract terms and then submit budget adjustments as needed contemporaneously with contract approval. Finally, fund balance projections herein assume the full payout of $4.3M for the two engines (in FY25-26 $1.9M) and one fire truck (in FY26-27 $2.3M).

As in the prior year, and in recognition of fiscal challenges at the Federal, State and County levels, staff moderated expenditure allocations where practical.

As compared to the prior year, the FY26-27 Draft Budget allocations increased by a net of $222,806 with the most significant one-time and ongoing requests and prior-year one-time adjustments outlined below:

Prior Year One-Time Items Not Repeated This Year (Subject to Roll Forward*) • ($715,000) Ops & Admin - Dedicated professional services for the assessment, vendor selection, architecture, design, and project oversight of a new Fire Facility – second year allocation* • ($250,000) PPG-Updated costing for the District wide PEIR to $350,000-Second Yr Allocation* • ($55,000) Finance & Technology- Web site upgrade and Finance transparency portal systems * • ($76,800) Infrastructure - Reflects the allocation of communications and printers in FY25-26 • ($35,000) Finance & Technology - Prior year projected contract services mitigated by staffing hires

BACKGROUND & ECONOMIC OUTLOOK
With the outbreak of the pandemic in 2020, the country experienced unprecedented economic disruption. While the shelter-in-place orders in California had significant impacts on the local economy, the District was shielded from a negative impact as its primary revenue source, property taxes,

LAHCFD FY2026-2027 Draft Budget Narrative – January 20, 2026 16 remained intact. A series of record wildfires raced across California in 2022 killing nine people, destroying 772 structures, and damaging another 104. Over 7,600 fires were recorded covering 363,939 acres. In the winter of 2022 and early months of 2023, the District and County experienced unprecedented weather events causing flooding, downed trees, road impacts, and disrupted power and utilities. The Los Altos hills area was particularly affected. The District was able to assist residents and the Town of Los Altos Hills (Town) by establishing communications and participating in the Emergency Operations Center (EOC) response. These events highlighted operational and infrastructure vulnerabilities and the need to remain ready to address seasonal fire safety prevention and mitigation.

It also underscores the need to plan for those unexpected disaster events that strain staffing and financial and infrastructure resources at local, County and State levels. The District’s ability to stay fully staffed, equipped, trained, mobile, and operationally nimble is essential to community safety. The District’s fiscal planning supports its unique needs and offers the fund balances necessary to mitigate future risk exposure.

The District’s continued strong fiscal standing allows it to advance essential fire prevention projects, including IHFR programs supported in partnership with SCCFSC to bring effective vegetation mitigation to residents and community projects. These services are grounded in fire science and the CWPP Annex 4 and include HIZ assessments, monthly defensible space brush chipping and debris removal, shaded fuel breaks for defensible space and evacuation route hardening. The introduction of the regional multi-year I-280 Fuel Break Project in prior years highly impacted the Draft Budget as this regional project enters its third-year phase of planning, engineering evaluation, vendor solicitation, and implementation. Furthermore, maintaining the momentum on evacuation routes, brush chipping, Firewise USA and HIZ Programs, is a catalyst for the budget requests included herein.

The devastating 2025 Southern California fires, in the greater Los Angeles area, underscore the importance of sustaining, and building upon the District’s growing life and property efforts.

The prior year Budget established funding allocations to conduct and complete a comprehensive study and assessment for a potential additional fire facility within the District to improve overall emergency response and readiness. A total of $1.065M has been allocated in prior years for this initiative, for which rollover approval will be requested from the County. The District also has earmarked funding for opportunities to improve regional data communication networks and install early fire detection warning systems in cooperation with the County, thereby remaining diligent in the public safety demands we face. The District continues to evaluate its technological needs, the potential upgrade of the El Monte Fire Station, and the feasibility of a potential new fire facility to address population growth and response-time opportunities as noted in the recent LAFCO report.

FISCAL HIGHLIGHTS
Total Revenues are projected at $19.18M, an increase of 5.30% or $965K, over the prior year Budget.

Property taxes, the primary source representing 92% of total revenues, are anticipated to increase by $1.06M, or 6.39%, to approximately $17.64M compared to the prior year Draft Budget of $16.58M.

This Draft Budget includes County generated property tax projections through December 2025. The last three years have displayed similar increases for property tax revenues.

LAHCFD FY2026-2027 Draft Budget Narrative – January 20, 2026 17 Interest income is projected to decrease over the prior year Budget by 6% or approximately $100K, to $1.54M, based on the assumption that rates will be lower and that large fund balance payouts will occur during FY26-27.

Total expenditure allocations are expected to be level totaling $22,389,840, an increase of $223K or 1.%, compared to the current year Budget. Adjusted for the removal of one-time allocations, in both the prior and current Draft Budget, overall expenditure allocations increased by $788K or 4.27% made up mostly of fire contract COLA increases, normal annual salary & benefit increases, insurance costs, and expanded temporary employee and outside consulting services. Along with revenue, the Draft Budget projects the use of available fund balances of $3.21M, an amount comparable to the FY25-26 Budget. Based on FY24-25 fiscal results, healthy beginning fund balances are projected and emergency commitments preserved.

The proposed FTE count remains unchanged with existing permanent staffing allocations projected to increase by $154,285, or 5.17%. This maintains the existing FTE level of 13.5 to advance the many planned life and property safety projects and programs. In recognition of the advancement of key PPG and IHFR projects, including the significant I-280 Project, the Draft Budget supplements resources with increased allocations for project costs, temporary employees, professional services, and associated contingencies. These enhanced contract costs are expected to remain for the duration of the I-280 Project through the end of FY26-27. Staff positions have been reorganized this transition year to focus on project enhancements and delivery. The Draft Budget FTE staffing and classifications are described in more detail in the following sections of this narrative.

Staff positions, although not increased overall, have been reorganized in this transition year to place a focus on project enhancements and delivery. FTE staffing and classifications are described in more detail in the following sections of this narrative.

This Draft Budget includes the second-year funding of the Healthcare Reimbursement Account benefit and the first-year funding of the newly introduced Deferred Compensation Plans. The cost of these benefits match projections in the amount of $311,600. These employee benefits mark a key Strategic Plan accomplishment to strengthen sustainability while allowing the District to attract, hire and retain employees in a competitive environment. The Draft Budget includes $196,100 in market contingency considering tight hiring conditions. Payroll taxes have also been adjusted for projected salary levels.

Fire contract services are expected to increase by $394,640, or 5%, reflecting County COLA contractbased increases only, with no modifications in the service contracts.

Although not a variance factor this year, two years ago the Budget included funding for a District capable fire truck, in the amount of $1.9M, to augment the SCCCFPD fire fleet serving LAHCFD and the greater region. The Draft Budget assumes the payout of this amount, from reserves, by the end of FY25-

26. The District entered a contract with SCCCFPD for this procurement in FY24-25 and subsequently an additional one fire truck estimated at $2.3M. Due to supply chain delays, allocations for these capital procurements are expected to be administratively rolled forward into the FY26-27 Budget, pending

LAHCFD FY2026-2027 Draft Budget Narrative – January 20, 2026 18 County approval, following adoption. These fire apparatus rollovers are summarized, along with other key rollovers, in the following sections of this narrative.

SUMMARY SCHEDULES & FUND BALANCES
Fire and Emergency Medical Service contract costs, including Battalion Chief services and augmented high-fire seasonal staffing, make up 42% of appropriations, with another 32% applied to Districtdirected life and safety measures, including fire risk mitigation, preparedness projects and programs, and community outreach and education, and 1% for supporting capital. The remaining 25% is applied to District staffing, administration, and operational support.

Operating and administrative appropriations are made up of salary and benefits at 16%, professional and specialized contract services (consultants) at 6%, and 3% for general operations.

LAHCFD FY2026-2027 Draft Budget Narrative – January 20, 2026 19 change in fund balance over the past several years resulting in both committed and available fund balance.

Fund balance commitments are allocated via District Commission action. The graph below reveals actual and projected fund balances for the past five years and District unassigned fund balances consistent with the year-end audit. The County classifies these balances as “Assigned” from the perspective that they are associated with a component unit sub-agency (LAHCFD).

The District, in line with the County, complies with the GASB 54 fund balance classifications of “Committed” and has established five commitment balances as defined below. The $1.9M funding payment for two fire engines is projected to occur within FY25-26, which is evident in the decrement in the reduction of balances from FY24-25. The Draft Budget continues the $2.3M in fund commitments for the one fire truck and will adjust budget allocations in the actual year of payment. Both commitment values agree with the audit report classification, recognizing contractual obligations with SCCCFPD for the funding of two fire trucks and one fire engine.

LAHCFD FY2026-2027 Draft Budget Narrative – January 20, 2026 20 Fund Balance Classifications & Components
Committed to Operations - $2,000,000
The amount of funds Committed for Operations targets an estimated minimum four months of operating expenses (to cover periods of revenue disruption),to fund SCCCFPD contracted fire services, salaries and payroll taxes, consulting and professional services, commissioners’ fees, and all other expenditures the District incurs in performing base daily operations. Base daily operations do not include fire prevention programs such as PPG/IHFR programs and hydrant/infrastructure as these are included in Emergency Operation commitments.

Committed to Emergency Operations - $2,000,000
The amount of funds Committed for Emergency Operations targets an estimated minimum of four months of augmented fire protection and emergency and recovery program expenses (to cover periods where minimal property tax revenue is forthcoming). This includes additional contracted firefighting services that could arise due to economic uncertainties or unforeseen disasters or emergencies, recovery efforts such as wildfires and earthquakes, staffing for extended fire seasons, and extra contracted services needed to ensure all high priority PPG/ IHFR fire-prevention programs and hydrant/infrastructure repairs, maintenance, relocations, and additions are completed in a timely manner for public safety.

Committed to Buildings and Improvements - $6,000,000
The District owns the El Monte Fire Station located at 12355 El Monte Road in Los Altos Hills. The District is working with SCCCFPD on fire station capital improvements. $6,000,000 has been set aside for building replacement funds to replace the building structure, roofing, walls, irrigation systems, and other systems close to reaching the end of their useful life. The District is also exploring ways to meet administrative needs, which could involve fire station expansion or structures built on its parcel.

LAHCFD FY2026-2027 Draft Budget Narrative – January 20, 2026 21 Committed to Wildfire Protection and Technology - $1,000,000 The District is actively exploring early warning technology committed $1,000,000 toward future technological advancements in firefighting, including Wildfire Detection systems, audible early warning systems, and advancements in emergency communications with local agencies and utilities. These earmarked funds bolster existing Draft Budget allocations and rollovers targeting this effort in coordination with the County and regional agencies.

Committed to Hydrants and Infrastructures - $3,000,000
The District owns approximately 560 fire hydrants, lateral pipes and related infrastructures in the Purissima Hills Water District, a utility serving two-thirds of Los Altos Hills. The District is committing funds for District-owned hydrant systems and related infrastructure upgrades. As part of the FY23-24 independent financial audit, the estimated historical cost of this system was set at $4.8M, underscoring the critical nature of this infrastructure.

Committed to Contracted Apparatus Funding - $2,300,000
Consistent with FY23-24 financial audit disclosures and County-approved contractual commitments with SCCCFPD (executed in both FY23-24 and FY24-25), these committed dollars will reimburse SCCFPD for the contracted purchase of two fire engines ($1.95M) with and one fire truck ($2.3M) scheduled for delivery by the end of FY26-27 due to supply chain delays (original total $4.25M). These amounts are recorded in this Draft Budget in recognition of the executed agreement obligations noted above.

Payment of $1.95M for the fire engines is estimated to take place in FY25-26 and committed funds for the $2.3M fire truck reimbursement will be adjusted to budget allocations in coordination with the County at the time of payment in FY26-27.

Unassigned Classification
Unassigned Fund Balance
The remaining fund balance (projected at $30,189,952 at the end of FY26-27) will be classified as unassigned and are generally available for the District in operations and infrastructure improvements subject to County Budget approvals. This represents the residual following an estimated use of fund balance and investment in the community of $3,208,840 as projected in the Draft Budget.

As the District considers and projects the potential use of these unassigned dollars in line with its longterm strategic plan, it anticipates the construction costs for a new District funded and owned centrally located fire /community facility, at a preliminary cost estimate of $15M. This initiative aims to improve supporting emergency readiness and preparedness activities and emergency response times.

Available fund balances allow for the potential annual cost of expanded firefighter funding if a new facility becomes a reality. They also provide for future enhancements and upgrades to all existing facilities. Furthermore, near-term projections include the expected use of an additional $3.15M, or more, of pending final project engineering estimates, for the completion of the regional I-280 Fuel Break infrastructure project and the future need to maintain this fuel break on a planned and phased basis.

REVENUES

PROPERTY TAXES & OTHER REVENUE
Property Taxes are the single largest source of income for the District. The County collects taxes for the District, remits funds and charges an administrative handling fee for collecting the money. The County provides a projection of expected tax revenue that is recorded in the Draft Budget.

The components of Property Tax are broken out below with an indication of the annual and average growth rates for the past four years including current year and Draft Budget projections.

Secured Property Taxes:

Secured property taxes are calculated based upon the value of real property, land, and personal Revenue Act 22-23 Act 23-24 Act 24-25 Bdgt 25-26 Est 25-26 Draft 26-27 Property Tax 14,879,392 15,545,992 16,279,771 16,576,000 17,149,000 17,635,000 Interest Income 868,578 1,408,206 1,604,675 1,639,625 1,639,625 1,540,000 Other - 4,140 7,104 200 3,000 6,000

LAHCFD FY2026-2027 Draft Budget Narrative – January 20, 2026 24 property, such as structures located upon the real property. Secured property is taxed at a general rate of one percent of the assessed value of which the District receives a portion (approximately 14% of 1%) along with other government agencies. These taxes make up most of the revenue.

Unitary Property Taxes:

Unitary property taxes cover such entities as electric, gas, and telephone companies. The State Board of Equalization assesses the value of these companies’ operations and establishes a county-wide tax rate system.

Unitary Property Taxes Railroad:

Railroad unitary property taxes which are assessed by the State Board of Equalization.

Unsecured Property Taxes:

Unsecured property taxes are assessed against movable personal property such as business equipment, boats, and airplanes. The tax is considered unsecured because any tax not paid results in a lien filed against the owner of the property, not the property itself.

Supplemental Senate Bill 813 Tax (SB 813):

SB 813, also known as the Hughes-Hart Educational Reform Act of 1983, originally was designed to close a perceived loophole in Proposition 13 and generate additional funding needed for schools. The new law established a “floating lien date” and prevented property owners from delaying the taxation of their properties at higher value assessments. Whenever there is a reappraisal due to a change in ownership or to the completion of new construction, a Supplemental Assessment is issued.

The Draft Budget anticipates continued consistency in remodel and building activity in a lowered interest rate environment.

LAHCFD FY2026-2027 Draft Budget Narrative – January 20, 2026 25 The Homeowner Property Tax Relief (HOPTR):

HOPTR provides a $7,000 exemption on the value of owner-occupied homes. The tax revenue lost from this exemption is made up in part from other sources and the District receives a share.

Excess Educational Revenue Augmentation Fund:

The County ERAF (enacted by the State in 1992) account has more revenue than necessary to offset all aid to K–12 and community college districts under Proposition 98. In response, the CA State Legislature enacted a law requiring some of these surplus funds to be used for special education programs, with the remaining funds returned to cities, counties, and special districts in proportion to the amount of property taxes they previously contributed to ERAF.

OTHER REVENUES
Interest - Deposits and Investments:

Cash balances are invested and held in the County pool. The District earns income from these holdings, which varies depending upon market interest rates. This revenue source has experienced significant growth given Federal rate increases in recent years but is expected to moderate as rates decline and fund balances are used.
.

Other/Miscellaneous Revenues:

This account covers other sundry income streams such as postal reimbursements and the distribution of dividends from the State Compensation Insurance Fund.

Expenditure line items for all accounts are broken out below displaying annual growth rates for the past four years including Draft Budget projections and % change from the current year Draft Budget.

SALARIES & PAYROLL TAXES
The Draft Budget maintains the District’s ability to deliver high-impact projects at a sustained current staffing level of 13.5 FTEs, a staffing compliment that is nearly 100% filled. In the face of planned major projects and underway, this Draft Budget also includes and fortifies supporting temporary employee, contract, and professional services. These combined allocations (staffing and contract/prof services) are important in oversight and management of the multi-year I-280 project now entering full implementation mode. Doing so allows staff to still provides the same depth of projects, programs, and services that the community expects from the District and continues the momentum of community projects of high safety impact.

In FY26-27, in concert with the Service Area Draft Budget and Workplan development, the Organization Chart has been reorganized and restructured given FY25-26 staffing changes and operational needs. The position count chart below reflects a blending of the former Outreach Service Area into the redesigned Ops-Admin; PPG; CERR; and Finance-IT Service Areas.

General Manager (1.0 FTE)
In 2018, the District hired a part-time General Manager to oversee and manage operations, projects, programs, and community outreach activities.

SCCCFPD CONTRACT SERVICES
Fire & Emergency Medical Response
Beginning January 1, 2017, the District renegotiated its contract with SCCCFPD for fire protection and emergency medical services through December 31, 2026. The annual percentage increase is based on a weighted average allocation of three indices as follows: 50% the change in the San Francisco/Oakland area consumer price index, 25% assessed local secured parcel values, and 25% firefighters’ annual cost of living increases in total compensation. The annual percent increase shall not be less than 2% or greater than 5% of the prior year’s base rate. This Draft Budget is based on the key assumption that the related existing service model and agreement will be renewed in December 2026, for the time being, assumed at a level compensation formula. Draft Budget projections will again be evaluated and adjusted at mid-year FY26-27 based on the final structure of the new agreement.

The District is evaluating a potential increase in the rebate amount, subject to further study and analysis. .

IHFR Evacuation Route & Vegetation Management
In FY19-20, the District entered a contract with SCCFSC to manage and oversee the IHFR Evacuation Route & Vegetation Management Program. This work removes hazardous vegetation along roadways to help reduce wildfire progress, creates defensive areas for firefighters to attack and suppress fires, and creates egress routes for resident evacuations and ingress routes for firefighters and emergency personnel.

LAHCFD FY2026-2027 Draft Budget Narrative – January 20, 2026 41 hazardous fire fuels along a 5.9-mile stretch of I-280 from Page Mill Road to Permanente Creek. This corridor is a critical evacuation route and is intended to serve as a fuel break in the event of wildfire, earthquake, or other disasters. The District originally applied for two Cal OES/FEMA grants to assist with financing the multi-million-dollar project, but recent information indicates that internal funding is the most likely direction to be taken. The FY26-27 Draft Budget allocations of $3.15M (an increase of $400K over the prior year) reflect the third, and anticipated final, year of the three-year phasing of this project initially estimated at $6M and adjusted for inflation in this Draft Budget to $6.9M. The FY24-25 allocation of $1M has been approved for County roll-forward, and staff will seek the same for the $2.75M FY25-26 allocation. The need for internal professional services to manage this project was the primary driver of added resource requests in the prior year. Ongoing vegetation maintenance will be necessary after completion of the project and will be projected in future forecasts.

As noted above, the original grant-based cost estimate, updated for inflation in this Draft Budget to $6.9M, is currently undergoing detailed engineering review and remains subject to material change as contract engineers finalize their independent cost analysis. A final project cost will not be established until the expected field project Request for Proposal (RFP) is issued and completed. Engineering estimates are expected in January 2026, with RFP results expected in May or June 2026. Should project cost estimates exceed current allocations, staff will present decision points to the Commission for discussion of scope and cost considerations.

IHFR Goat Grazing Program
The District annually contracts for goats grazing with Ecosystem Concepts, Inc., to reduce hazardous fuel loads through prescriptive grazing, usually provided at the end of the fiscal year in May. FY26-27 allocations are increased to include the possibility of goat grazing in additional locations and the anticipation of increases in contract costs.

Emergency/CERT/ARK Supplies
This account covers costs relating to management of the CERT and Teen CERT programs, training and drill activities, and maintenance of the emergency supply ARK. FY26-27 allocations support the purchase of supplies for readiness of effort and anticipate equipment replacement and repairs.

LAHCFD FY2026-2027 Draft Budget Narrative – January 20, 2026 42 Vegetation and Response Equipment & Maintenance
This account was created for the purchase and maintenance of an equipped utility truck with the capacity to haul equipment and emergency trailers to support staff in managing evacuation routes and vegetation mitigation projects. Starting FY23-24, major equipment purchases were broken out into distinct capital accounts noted in the following sections. This account now covers maintenance costs for the District’s vehicles and response equipment.

Hydrant/Infrastructure Repair, Maintenance & Additions
This account covers repair, replacement, and maintenance costs for District-owned hydrants and laterals within the Purissima Hills Water District service area. In prior years, this account expanded to include the cost of hydrant and related infrastructure relocation and additions to provide better service coverage to the community. The District retained an engineering consulting firm to provide specialized services related to District-owned fire hydrants and associated infrastructure. FY26-27 allocations have been moderated to reflect actual trends while still allowing for the possibility of addressing larger scale Water District events and projects.

Neighborhood Evac. Drills and Outreach
The Neighborhood Evacuation Drills and Outreach Program encourages LAHCFD residents to improve community emergency preparedness through neighborhood evacuation drills, and related education and training. FY26-27 allocations anticipate expanded activity in the coming year.

Firewise USA Communities
Firewise USA Communities encourage neighbors to work together on wildfire preparedness. The program is administered by the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), which provides a collaborative framework to help neighbors get organized, find direction, and take action to increase the ignition resistance of their homes and community, and to reduce wildfire risks at a local level.

Communities that have followed a systematic approach to organizing and implementing fire resiliency measures and maintain “Good Standing Status” on an annual basis will earn the special distinction of being nationally recognized as a “Firewise USA Community.” Continuing from the prior year, participation is expected to increase due to enhanced education, integration with related projects, evolving state requirements, and heightened wildfire awareness. FY26-27 allocations have been moderated to reflect actual trends

FY26-27 allocations have been eliminated pending further study and research on the jurisdictional considerations in coordination with County guidance.

Planning, Project Management & Programs Oversight
This account covers outside contracting services relating to oversight and coordination of various projects and programs requiring special expertise. This account supports activities such as project management and supervision, research of fire prevention and detection methods, and community education and engagement.

This line-item allocation covers unexpected Projects and Programs expenses, such as change orders, additional services, or emergency needs. FY26-27 allocations allow for the operational and contingent resource demands that are expected as the I-280 Project enters full implementation and pulls on other supporting needs. The decrease in this account reflects the transfer, now recorded in the Evacuation Route Program, of $175,000 added in the prior year for the Flashy Fuels Pilot Program.

Annual Audit Charter
The District's finances are audited annually by an outside CPA firm and are subject to audit at any time by the Audit Division of the Santa Clara County Board of Supervisors. The contract is anticipated for renewal in FY26-27 and has been budgeted slightly lower to reflect actual trends while allowing for a modest contract increase.

Accounting Services
Vargas Company provides the District with financial consulting services including general ledger entry, invoice and credit card processing, County data submission and reconciliations, staff inquiries, monthly reports, budget support and monitoring, and audit support and preparation. Accounting services are currently contracted at a set annual rate. The FY26-27 Draft Budget increase reflects the anticipated need for an upcoming contract revision to include an additional range of hours of support. This need reflects full staffing levels, conversion to a new general ledger system now that financial systems have been successfully migrated to the cloud, enhancement and integration of the newly upgraded payroll system, implementation of employee benefits practices and processes, and ongoing development of policies, procedures, and internal controls.

Legal Fees
Beginning in FY22-23, the District ended contracts with private legal firms and is now represented exclusively by the Offices of the County Counsel. County Counsel supports the District in all legal matters, including legal analysis and advice pertaining to human resources, employee hiring, personnel policies, contract review, and the drafting of legal documents. FY26-27 anticipates an increased level of service associated with full staffing, the I-280 Project, a potential new fire facility study, and the many professional service agreements and contracts associated with those efforts.

LAHCFD FY2026-2027 Draft Budget Narrative – January 20, 2026 48 SUMMARY
In conclusion, as the reader peruses the District FY26-27 Draft Budget, it is critical to note that it is foundationally based on the 2023-2027 Strategic Plan, updated in the first calendar quarter of 2023, and posted on the District website. Additionally, the introduction of a District-wide operational Workplan provides an action-based roadmap to achieving the goals outlined in the Strategic Plan.

Lastly, the Draft Budget connects financial resource allocations to the Workplan. The prior year budget was designed to integrate with the longer-term Strategic Plan and was built on its main theme “to provide the District with those resources necessary” to optimize delivery of critical life and safety projects and programs to the community. The FY26-27 Draft Budget goes further in providing a pragmatic and realistic plan for reaching defined deliverables and places a strong focus on the realization of planned large-scale projects of both local and regional benefit. It continues the District’s fiduciary obligation to keep finances strong, to maintain operational continuity, to take proactive measures to maintain community safety, and to keep the community and District prepared for unforeseen disasters. With its sound fiscal strength, this Draft Budget establishes a strong plan for future years while continuing to enhance community services. Core SCCCFPD fire and emergency medical services remain firmly in place, along with the District’s array of life and safety risk-mitigation projects, community education, and outreach. As mentioned throughout, the two key assumptions put forth in this Draft Budget projection relate to defining the ultimate engineering base costing of the I280 Project, an amount to be quantified in the coming months, and the presumed continuity of the fire contract agreement with SCCCFPD, due for renewal in December 2026, at presumed steady state cost levels.

Regionalization is underscored with the I-280 Fuel Break Project in both FY25-26 adopted and FY26-27 Draft Budget allocations, the prominence of the HIZ Program, the continuation of proactive fire mitigation services, and the significant presence of roll-forward allocations to assess the possibility of a new District fire and community facility to bolster response time and overall readiness.

FIRE & EMERGENCY MEDICAL SERVICES
Providing Superior Fire Prevention, Detection and Suppression Services and Emergency Medical Budget Snapshot FY26-27 Allocation Changes
LAHCFD continues the critical funding of fire and emergency medical services through its long-term contract with Santa Clara County Fire Protection District (SCCCFPD). These services are foundational to fire prevention, suppression and response in an era where current and proactive life & property safety readiness is more important than ever.

The high impact fire seasons experienced recent years is a testament to the need for remaining steadfast in these efforts.

Emergency medical services are both essential and highly used throughout the year. These services are provided by SCCCFPD and funded through LAHCFD.

The primary Draft Budget change results from the annual expected contract COLA adjustments amounting to $394K. The District continues to augment funding for additional high fire season staffing at Palo Alto station #8 in the amount of $640K.

Draft Budget projections presume the final payout of the three contracted fire apparatus reimbursements, $1.9M in FY25-26 ( in estimated actuals for FY25-26) and estimated $2.3M in FY26-27 (allocated in FY26-27). Both amounts reflect use of fund reserve commitments already in place.

The FY25-26 Budget included related professional services within the Infrastructure service area in the amount of $715K (above prior year allocation of $350K ) to evaluate feasibility and plan, design, the possible construction of a new District fire station to enhance overall services and response time. These dollars are expected to roll forward pending County approval into FY26-27.

Key Workplan Items FY26-27 & Upcoming

FIRE & EMERGENCY RESPONSE SERVICES
• Renewal of the Palo Alto Station #8 annual agreement for a multi-year five-year term
• Coordinate the renewal of SCCCFPD multi-year agreement to be completed by December 2026. • Battalion Chief Service contract continuation • Fire detection early warning system in line with County coordination

PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE
The Pledge of Allegiance was recited.

1. AGENDA REVIEW
The agenda was approved with the Community Development Director’s Report moved to follow Presentations from the Floor. Additionally, Mayor Bhateja requested that Assistant City Attorney Claire Lai provide the report for Item 5L.

Assistant City Attorney Claire Lai provided a brief report on the 4:30 p.m. special City Council meeting held immediately before the regular meeting. During the special meeting, the City Council conducted a closed session regarding anticipated litigation pursuant to Government Code section 54956.9, subdivision (d)(2). There were no reportable actions from the closed session.

The City Council also considered an item in open session regarding the issuance of a Brown Act unconditional commitment pursuant to Government Code section 54960.2 in response to a demand letter from Safford Law dated December 16, 2025. The unconditional commitment allows the Council to respond to allegations of Brown Act violations.

Assistant City Attorney Lai noted that the issuance of the unconditional commitment and the related action under Consent Item 5L do not constitute an admission or evidence of any Brown Act violation by the Town.

During the special meeting, the City Council voted 5-0 to approve the issuance of the unconditional commitment as included in the staff report. Although the Town disagrees with the allegations raised in the demand letter and maintains that no Brown Act

violations occurred, the City Council elected to utilize the unconditional commitment option under state law to foreclose unnecessary litigation and in furtherance of the Town’s commitment to transparency and public participation.

Community Development Director Jay Bradford provided an update on the current status of the Housing Element amendment at last night's City Council meeting. The update included progress with the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD). The Town has received comments from HCD sent by the owners of the Twin Oaks site and Sea Landing Limited Partners. He also briefed the City Council on recent SB 330 applications received from the owners of the Twin Oaks and outlined a potential approach for responding to HCD comments, should any be received.

A Special City Council meeting is reserved and scheduled for January 29th, contingent on further feedback from HCD. An update was also given on the building fee refund project with applicants being contacted this week to initiate the process for completing refunds.
