Report Title: Budget Amendment for 1300 Civic Drive, Walnut Creek
☒Recommendation of the County Administrator ☐ Recommendation of Board Committee
RECOMMENDATIONS:
Acting as the governing board of the Contra Costa County Fire Protection District, APPROVE Budget Amendment No. BDA-25-00162 appropriating fund balance of $2,900,000 for the purchase of property at 1300 Civic Drive, Walnut Creek.
FISCAL IMPACT:
100% CCCFPD EMS Transport fund balance.
BACKGROUND:
On August 12, 2025, the Board approved the purchase of property at 1300 Civic Drive, Walnut Creek. In the near term, the building will be used by the Fire District for classroom training and other operational support functions. These uses align with the building's current use. The long-term strategic plan is to use this property to replace Fire Station No. 1 with a modern fire station capable of housing multiple crews in the rapidly developing downtown Walnut Creek area.
This budget amendment for fiscal year 2025-26 will allocate the funds for that purchase.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If this action is not approved, the Fire District’s budget will not correctly reflect this expenditure.
