If any deposits of aluminum appear, they are to be rubbed off using a Teflon scouring pad.

City Council Staff Report
March 24, 2026
From: Gary Hampton, Interim City Manager
Isaac Moreno, Finance Director
Deputy Fire Chief Chris Jelinek
Prepared by: James Governale, Management Analyst
Agendized by: Gary Hampton, Interim City Manager
1. ACTION RECOMMENDED:
Motion: Allow the Agreement for Fire Administrative Services between the City of Modesto and the City of Turlock to expire on June 30, 2026 and direct staff to take the necessary steps to return to fully independent Fire Department administration OR
Motion: Direct staff to negotiate a new Fire Administrative Services Agreement with the City of Modesto and direct staff to return to the City Council with a proposed agreement for consideration
2. NARRATIVE:
Background and History - Fire Administrative Services Contract Like many municipalities, the City of Turlock has long maintained a Fire Department organized under the leadership of a Fire Chief pursuant to Turlock Municipal Code Chapter 2-3, “Fire Department.” For decades, the City operated under this traditional model of local administration.
Following a vacancy in the permanent Fire Chief position for over two years, at the December 14, 2021 City Council meeting, City staff and the City Council evaluated options to ensure continued, stable fire protection services for the residents and visitors of Turlock. One option was the concept of participating in a regional administrative services model with local partners. The City of Modesto, along with agencies such as the City of Oakdale, Oakdale Fire Protection District, the City of Ceres, and Stanislaus Consolidated Fire Protection District, had implemented a unique partnership involving a shared administrative structure designed to increase efficiency, reduce duplicative administrative efforts, and enhance service coordination across jurisdictions.
The benefits to a regional partnership led to the City Council approving a Fire Administrative Services Agreement with the City of Modesto on January 25, 2022. The agreement established a shared services structure under which the City of Modesto provides Fire Chief oversight and executive-level administrative support to the Turlock Fire Department. The agreement term runs from February 15, 2022 through June 30, 2026. An optional extension required approval by the governing bodies of both cities by June 30, 2025. Because negotiations regarding potential amendments continued beyond the extension deadline, that approval did not occur, and the agreement is therefore scheduled to conclude on June 30, 2026.
On January 27, 2026, a proposed motion was agendized that, if approved by Council, would have allowed the agreement to naturally conclude on June 30, 2026 and directed staff to
Agenda Staff Report
3/24/2026
begin the recruitment process for the Fire Chief position. The item was pulled from consideration, and no formal action was taken. As a result, the agreement remains in effect through June 30, 2026, unless amended by mutual agreement of both parties.
Since implementation, the Turlock Fire Department has operated within an integrated regional administrative framework. Under this model, Fire Chief oversight and certain executive-level administrative functions are shared regionally. The integrated structure supports coordinated training, prevention services, fleet management, and strategic planning efforts. It also provides expanded depth of response resources across participating jurisdictions, strengthening emergency preparedness and overall operational capacity.
Operationally, the system functions as a single integrated response network, with 24 fire engines, four ladder trucks, five battalion chiefs, an EMS Captain, and a fire investigator working from common dispatch run cards and standardized fireground procedures. This approach enables deployment of an effective firefighting force consistent with NFPA guidance and the Turlock Citygate Standards of Response Coverage study, while also providing the ability to backfill Turlock fire stations during extended incidents such as structure or wildland fires. Additionally, since December 2024, the Modesto Fire Department has provided Fire Investigation Unit (FIU) services to the City of Turlock without additional charge, and beginning in September 2025 expanded administrative support to include EMS oversight and Fire Marshal services.
Over time, real concerns have been raised regarding the operation of the model, including perceptions related to local control, communication clarity between agencies, cultural alignment, the degree of local oversight within the shared administrative structure, and the impact on the Turlock Fire Department’s organizational identity. Turlock Firefighters Local 2434, the bargaining unit representing the City’s firefighters, has also expressed concerns under the current structure.
With the agreement approaching expiration, the Council must determine the long-term governance structure for fire services in Turlock. This decision will determine whether the City continues a regional administrative model or returns to a traditional locally administered fire department structure.
As the City evaluates future governance options, the Fire Administration has identified several organizational priorities intended to guide service delivery and operational improvements over the coming years. The department’s current priorities include stabilizing the workforce and organizational structure, enhancing operational capability through the addition of a ladder company, modernizing infrastructure through relocation of Fire Station 34, and elevating medical service delivery through implementation of Advanced Life Support (ALS). These priorities are consistent with the recommendations of the Citygate Standards of Cover study and reflect widely recognized fire service best practices, directly strengthening emergency response capability and service value to the City of Turlock.
Background and History - Fire Department Fleet Maintenance Contract In February 2023, the City Council approved a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) for fire apparatus fleet maintenance services between the City of Modesto and the City of Turlock. At the time, the agreement was presented as a cost-efficient and regionally aligned approach to ensure preventative maintenance, safety inspections, and specialized repairs for Turlock’s fire engines. Since that time, the City of Turlock’s Fleet Division has achieved
Agenda Staff Report

full staffing, hired a Fleet Services Manager to oversee the division, and maintains certified technicians with the expertise necessary to perform preventative maintenance, inspections, and major apparatus repairs in-house. The MOU provides fleet repair surge capacity during high-impact service periods and access to mechanics specifically trained in fire apparatus maintenance and repair.
This short-term arrangement has been of great benefit to the City of Turlock over the last three years, and there is now opportunity to look at any potential cost savings associated with terminating the MOU and entrusting those services to the City of Turlock's Fleet Services Division of our Municipal Services Department. While this issue is not directly tied to the administrative function the City of Modesto has provided since 2022, it is related in that it involves a service Modesto has provided to Turlock in support of the Fire Department, and staff believes it is appropriate to include in this report.
Feasible Options
Staff is not recommending a specific option at this time and is seeking Council direction.
There are numerous scenarios to consider, and Staff believe that the two options proposed with this staff report must each be considered first, following more detail and more options that will follow at a future meeting, if applicable. All options that staff propose are believed to be feasible and implementable for the City, capable of maintaining high-quality fire service delivery to the residents and visitors of Turlock.
Option 1 – Return to Fully Independent Fire Department Administration Transition to a fully independent administrative structure, including recruitment of a permanent Fire Chief. Staff would also take the opportunity to evaluate the fiscal impact associated with terminating the MOU with the City of Modesto for Fleet Maintenance Services. This option maximizes local control, accountability, and department identity. It may require expanded in-house administrative capacity and may increase personnel and related costs.
Option 2 – Direct Staff to negotiate and propose a New Administrative Services Agreement between the City of Turlock and the City of Modesto Under this option, the City could negotiate a revised administrative services agreement with the City of Modesto that would continue Fire Chief oversight while allowing for additional administrative support positions, which could include roles such as a Deputy Fire Marshal or EMS administrative support depending on the final terms of the agreement. A new agreement could include clarified performance expectations, improved reporting requirements, enhanced governance safeguards, and a longer term, potentially up to five years. This option maintains regional integration with partner agencies while minimizing operational disruption. A sample agreement is attached for illustrative purposes only and is intended to provide the Council with a general framework of what a future agreement could resemble if negotiations are directed.
Conclusion
To ensure continuity and maintain a high level of professional fire service delivery, timely direction from the Council is necessary. Both options outlined above present distinct advantages and considerations. Either option, if properly implemented, is capable of providing fire services that meet or exceed community expectations.
Agenda Staff Report
3/24/2026
Staff respectfully seeks Council feedback and direction on the preferred governance structure and will return promptly with proposed actions consistent with that direction.
3. FISCAL IMPACT / BUDGET AMENDMENT:
The fiscal impact associated with the options presented in this report will vary depending on the governance structure selected by the City Council.
A detailed financial comparison of multiple administrative service configurations has been prepared and is included as Attachment A – Financial Analysis to this staff report. The analysis evaluates several potential staffing structures under a continued administrative services model, including combinations of positions such as Deputy Chief, Deputy Fire Marshal, and Emergency Medical Services administrative oversight. These scenarios illustrate the potential cost differences between contracting for administrative services and maintaining comparable positions within the City’s organizational structure.
Depending on the configuration evaluated, the financial analysis demonstrates that certain administrative service arrangements may produce cost savings compared to maintaining comparable in-house positions, while other configurations may result in additional costs.
Several scenarios in Attachment A include positions that were considered during earlier negotiations but may not be included in any future agreement. The analysis is intended to illustrate potential cost ranges to assist in deciding how to proceed.
Because this report seeks policy direction rather than approval of a specific agreement, the precise fiscal impact will depend on the option ultimately selected by the City Council and the terms of any future administrative services agreement. Staff will return to the Council with finalized cost projections and any necessary budget adjustments once direction has been provided.
4. ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION:
This action is not subject to the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) in accordance with Section 15378(b)(5) of the CEQA guidelines. This action consists of “organizational or administrative activities of governments that will not result in direct or indirect physical changes in the environment” and therefore is not considered a project.
5. ALTERNATIVES:
Council may provide alternative direction to staff.
