Requested Action(s)
recommendation
a) AGREEMENT - Request approval and authorization for the Tehama County Fire Finance Representative to sign the Assistance By Hire Agreement with CAL FIRE for rental of County fire equipment for use within the CAL FIRE protection area, and coverage behind State engine commitments at the rates listed, effective 7/1/2026 through 6/30/27
body
Financial Impact:
Positive revenues are generated from equipment rentals, account 2042-461060.
Background Information:
The funds received from the rentals are used to purchase replacement fire equipment and/or offset revenue shortfalls. If an engine is used more than 2 hours on a State Responsibility incident, the County is reimbursed per hour from the start of the fire. Also, if the CAL FIRE Unit's resources are low due to fire activity, County engines will be utilized to cover the State's stations and camps. Laurianne Griffin would be signing as the Vendor or Authorized Agent. Monty Smith will be signing on behalf of CAL FIRE. Without this agreement the State would be unable to use County equipment as a means of covering Tehama County when State engines are committed. This agreement is effective 7/1/2026 through 6/30/2027.
