REPORT TO CITY COUNCIL
Approved by: Council Meeting of: June 1, 2022
_________________________________ Agenda Number: D-1
Department Director Matthew A Watson

Arnoldo Rodriguez, City Manager
SUBJECT:
Approval of a New Schedule “A” Agreement with the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (CAL FIRE) from July 1, 2022, to June 30, 2023, for Fire Service Operations RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt a Resolution approving a new Schedule “A” agreement with the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (CAL FIRE) for fire service operation from July 1, 2022, to June 30, 2023.
SUMMARY:
From June 1, 2022, through June 30, 2023, a one-year agreement between the City and CAL FIRE for $6,057,566.00. The Agreement is for personnel at the three existing fire stations.
DISCUSSION:
Public Resources Code Section 4142 allows CAL FIRE to enter into cooperative agreements with cities and counties to suppress fires within those jurisdictions. The City has contracted with CAL FIRE under such agreements since 1993.
The most recent Agreement was a one-year Schedule "A" fire protection services reimbursement agreement from July 1, 2021, through June 30, 2022. The Fiscal Year 2022/2023 Schedule "A" agreement is for $6,057,566.00, representing an increase of $526,805.00 from the existing Agreement. The current agreement expires at the end of the current fiscal year. This increase is due to the change in the staff benefits rate.
These increases represent a 20.41 percent of the firefighter's benefit rates. Statutes of 2020 (AB 84) redirected the application of the 2.5 billion General Fund CalPERS supplemental pension payment provided in the Budget Act of 2019 to achieve the most immediate savings to the general fund.
DocuSign Envelope ID: 7C9BBF01-6E28-41CB-8C03-7E3ED4B612E7 As a result, state employer contributions were supplanted (temporarily lowered) in fiscal years 2019-20, 2020-21, and 2021-22. The benefits of the supplanting pension payments drop off in 2022-23, increasing to the actuarially determined rates across all state plans. It is noted that Stations 56, 57, and 58 will have three firefighters on duty per day at each station. There will be two Battalion Chiefs to support the firefighters. In addition, two of the stations provide reserve engines. The City also benefits from CAL FIRE personnel housed proximate to the City that assists in times of need. The City/County auto aid agreement provides thirteen people a day for a fire within the City limits.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
The Madera City Fire Department’s current budget, including Measure K, contains sufficient funding to accommodate the CAL FIRE Schedule “A” fire protection services reimbursement agreement. The contract is approximately $6 million, paid for by the City’s General Fund and Measure K.
CONSISTENCY WITH THE VISION MADERA 2025 PLAN:
Strategy 421: First Response Emergency Services: Ensure the safety and protection of Madera and its community members through adequate first response to emergencies. Maintain sufficient resources to expand protection as the community grows.
