Fiscal Impact The Agreement provides $110,000 for fire protection and prevention services provided by the City of Redding (City) to the Buckeye Fire Protection District (Buckeye). The Agreement realizes an annual revenue increase of $55,000 to the City. Additional funds budgeted by Buckeye or received through ad valorem tax income for fire protection services shall also be provided to the City for equipment and service-related expenditures pursuant to an annual spending plan. Alternative Action The City Council could choose not to approve the Agreement which would by default, keep the original agreement in full force. Background/Analysis The City and Buckeye have maintained a contractual relationship for fire protection and prevention services since 19'79. The original agreement was established when Buckeye could no longer independently�nance adequate fire protection services for its jurisdiction. Report to Redding City Council July 13, 2026 Re: 4.8(a)--Approve a JPA with Buckeye Fire District Page 2 Under the proposed Agreement, the City wi11 continue to provide fire protection and prevention services to Buckeye utilizing existing City fire resources, including Fire Station 6, which is strategically located near the district boundary and well positioned to serve the Buckeye area. The Agreement establishes an annual payment of$ll 0,000 from Buckeye to the City for these services. The Agreement also requires Buckeye to contribute additional available fire protection funding toward equipment and operational needs identified through an annual priority spending plan prepared by the City. Since 1979 this agreement has funded the purchase of fire engines, fire station repairs and iinprovements, equipment, self-contained breathing apparatus's, radios, and personal protective gear for City of Redding Firefighters. The Agreement's effective date will be July 1, 2026, through June 30, 2027, and will autoinatically renew annually unless terminated by either party upon at least 180 days' written notice prior to the June 30 payment date. The Agreement supersedes any prior agreements between the parties and requires that any amendments be approved in writing by both agencies. Staff believes continuation of this long-standing partnership provides an efficient and cost- effective means of delivering fire protection and prevention services within Buckeye while providing additional funding for the Redding Fire Department and supporting regional public safety objectives. EnviNonmental Review This is not a project defined under the California Environmental Quality Act and no further action is required. Council Priority/City Manager Goals • Public Safety — "Work to improve all aspects of public safety to help people feel secure and safe where they live, work, and play in the City of Redding."
