Department of Public Works and Planning
SUBJECT: Amendment 1 to Agreement No. 21-227 with the Auberry Volunteer Fire Department for structural fire protection and first responder medical services for County Service Area No. 50 - Auberry.
RECOMMENDED ACTION(S):
TITLE
1. Approve and authorize Chairman to execute Amendment 1 to Agreement No. 21-227 with the Auberry Volunteer Fire Department, increasing the total maximum compensation by $50,000 for a total amount not to exceed $446,000; and
2. Adopt Budget Resolution increasing FY 2024-25 appropriations for County Service Area 50 - Auberry Volunteer Fire and Emergency Medical Services Org 9248 in the amount of $25,000 for increased operational costs (4/5 vote).
REPORT
Approval of the first recommended action will amend Agreement No. 21-227 with the Auberry Volunteer Fire Department (AVFD) to increase the annual maximum compensation to $104,200 for Fiscal Years (FY) 2024-25 and 2025-26. This increase is necessary due to rising operating costs associated with the recent purchase of a water tender and essential equipment upgrades.
Approval of the second recommended action increases FY 2024-25 appropriations by $25,000 for County Service Area 50 - Auberry Volunteer Fire and Emergency Medical Services (CSA 50), Org 9248, to align with the amended agreement.
Both items pertain to a location in District 5.
ALTERNATIVE ACTION(S):
If the Board rejects the recommended actions, AVFD may not have sufficient funding to maintain current service levels. A new agreement would need to be developed, potentially delaying reimbursements and increasing administrative costs.
If the Board rejects only Recommended Action 2, remaining appropriations for CSA 50 will be exhausted before the end of FY 2024-25, and the district will be unable to cover its operational expenditures.
