BACKGROUND
The Napa County Fire Department contracts with the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (CAL FIRE) for personnel for its fire protection services in addition to nine volunteer fire departments that operate under a County Fire Plan and are supported by the County. The County contracts with the Town of Yountville and the California Veterans Home to provide fire protection services to those jurisdictions.
Fire Protection services in the Yountville area are provided through a three-way cost share between the County, the Town of Yountville, and the Veterans Home. The agreement provides for the Town's share of staffing, including fire suppression, fire prevention, rescue, emergency medical services, and all life safety hazards as well as operating the Yountville Station. This amendment provides revenue to the County for the Town's share of staffing and operating costs for Yountville Fire Station.
For Fiscal Year 2025-26, station staff and services will remain the same from Fiscal Year 2024-25. Fiscal Year 2025-26 contract will increase the compensation rate and contract maximum to $1,817,975 for fire protection services and $30,000 for engine replacement. Amendment 3 is a single-year amendment and future year adjustments beyond Fiscal Year 2025-26 will be negotiated with representatives of the Town of Yountville.
This agreement is written as a contract amount. This shared contract has been a positive example of cooperative fire services.
