RESOLUTION NO.2023-06
OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS
OF THE UKIAH VALLEY FIRE DISTRICT
November 28th, 2023
RESOLUTION APPROVING THE UKIAH VALLEY FIRE DISTRICT FIRE
IMPACT FEE NEXUS STUDY AND REQUESTING THE CITY OF UKIAH
ADOPT AND IMPLEMENT THE PROPOSED FIRE IMPACT FEE PROGRAM
ON BEHALF OF THE DISTRICT
WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of the Ukiah Valley Fire District ("District") recognizes
that continuing development within the District places added responsibilities and costs to the
District; and
WHEREAS, AB 1600 was adopted and codified in California Government Code Section
66000, allowing the establishing, increasing, or imposing of a development fee as a condition of
approval where the purpose and use of the fee were identified, and reasonable relationship to the
development project was demonstrated, and
WHEREAS, the District Board of Directors ("District Board") desires to establish a new
Fire Impact Fee program ("Fees or Fee Programl for the District to fund fire protection facilities,
apparatus, and equipment necessary to mitigate the impacts caused by new development with
the District's service area; and
WHEREAS, the District Board has received and considered the District's Fire Impact Fee
Nexus Study prepared by SCI Consulting Group dated August 2023 Final Report ("Nexus Study")
that provides the required information to establish a new Fire Impact Fee program.
NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS HEREBY RESOLVED that:
1) The District Board hereby receives and approves the Nexus Study.
2) After considering the Nexus Study, this Resolution, and after considering the testimony
received at their November 28, 2023 meeting, the District hereby makes the following
findings:
a) The District does not have existing fire protection facilities and equipment that
could provide an adequate level of services to new development within the
District's service area, and
b) The District does not have sufficient funds available to construct additional facilities
and purchase additional equipment from fund balances, capital facility funds,
property tax sources, fire suppression assessments, or any other available
sources, and
c) The lack of additional fire protection facilities and equipment to service new
development projects would create a situation that is dangerous to public health
and safety if fire protection mitigation fees are not levied within the District, and
d) The Fee Program and the Fees proposed in the Nexus Study and approved
pursuant to this Resolution are for the purposes of funding the cost of fire protection

and emergency response facilities, apparatus, and equipment attributable to new
residential and nonresidential development in the District's service area; and
e) The fee proposed in the Nexus Study and approved pursuant to this Resolution
will be used to expand the District's facilities and equipment, replace and expand
the District's apparatus and vehicles to serve new development, and
f) The uses of the Fees proposed in the Nexus Study and approved pursuant to this
Resolution are reasonably related to the types of development projects on which
the fees are imposed in that fee revenue from the development projects will be
used to expand the District's facilities and equipment, and replace and expand the
District's apparatus and vehicles to meet the additional demand generated by the
new residents and employees and new structural area created by the development
projects, and
g) The Fees proposed in the Nexus Study, and approved pursuant to this Resolution,
bear a reasonable relationship to the need for fire protection and emergency
response facilities, apparatus, and equipment in that each development project will
create additional need for the District's fire protection and emergency response
services and a corresponding need for new or expanded facilities, apparatus, and
equipment. The Fees will be imposed on different types of development projects
in proportion to the additional service population generated and structural area
created by new development projects, and
h) The Nexus Study demonstrates that there is a reasonable relationship between
the amount of the fee and the cost of the fire protection facilities, apparatus, and
equipment attributable to the development on which the fee is imposed in that the
costs are based upon the level of existing development served by the District's
existing fire protection facilities and applied proportionately land use categories in
proportion to the need they create for expanded fire facilities, apparatus, and
equipment.
3) The District finds pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA"), this
action is not a "project" because the Resolution provides a mechanism for funding fire
protection and emergency response facilities, apparatus, and equipment but does not
Involve a commitment to any specific project for such purposes that may result in a
potentially significant impact on the environment. (CEQA Guidelines § 16378.)
4) The District does hereby approve the following Fees on new development which shall be

UKIAH VALLEY FIRE AUTHORITY
FLEET REPLACEMENT PLAN
(2022)
Page 7 of 23
The Ukiah Valley Fire Authority (UVFA) currently
does not have a fleet replacement plan, nor are
funds set aside in the annual budget for future
vehicle purchases. In the past, purchases were only
made when absolutely necessary, creating a fiscal
crisis when a vehicle needed to be replaced. This
document was created to identify & assess the
condition of our existing fleet and recommend a
manageable fleet replacement schedule for UVFA.
Team members completed a comprehensive study
that included the status of all current apparatus
within the fleet and analysis of National, State, and
Local recommended guidelines for replacement
schedules.
Emergency service vehicles should not be considered similar to other city departments or private
vehicles. When called, the public depends on their emergency responders to arrive promptly with
the appropriate resources and equipment to manage whatever crisis is at hand.
The question is always raised as to why emergency services consider the useful life of
emergency vehicles and equipment considerably shorter than non -emergency vehicles and
equipment, replacing vehicles and equipment well before other departments consider a
replacement. The answer is simple: emergency service team members' lives depend on
properly well -functioning vehicles and equipment. If a non -emergency vehicle breaks down
or stops working, the most significant loss is time and aggravation; in retrospect, if an
emergency vehicle breaks down, the most significant loss could be life. In a structure fire, if
the pump stops pumping water to the firefighters, or in the wildland setting, if the vehicle
stops running, team members could become entrapped in the fire path and unable to
escape causing severe injury or death. These are just a few of the dangers faced while
using substandard equipment.
The standard the fire service nationwide uses for fire apparatus is the National Fire Protection
Association (NFPA). NFPA is the standard for the modern fire service's policies, guidelines, and
codes. The most notably used measures for this document include:
• NFPA 1901 Standard for Automotive Fire Apparatus
• NFPA 1906 Standard for Wildland Fire Apparatus
• NFPA 1911 Standard for the Inspection, Maintenance, Testing, and Retirement of In -
Service Emergency Vehicles
• NFPA 1917 Standard for Automotive Ambulances
NFPA 1901 Standard Guidelines for First Line and Reserve Fire Apparatus:
"To maximize firefighter capabilities and minimize the risk of Injuries, it is important that fire
apparatus be equipped with the latest safety feature and operating capabilities. In the last 10 to
15 years, much progress has been made in upgrading functional capabilities and improving the
safety features of fire apparatus. Apparatus more than 15 years old might include only a few of
the safety upgrades required by the recent editions of the NFPA fire department apparatus
standards. Because the changes, upgrades, and fine-tuning of NFPA 1901 have been truly
significant, especially in the area of safety, fire departments should seriously consider the value
(or risk) to firefighters of keeping fire apparatus more than 15 years in first -line service."
Page 8 of 23
"It is a generally accepted fact that fire apparatus, like all types of mechanical devices, have a finite
life. The length of that life depends on many factors, including vehicle mileage and engine hours,
quality of preventative maintenance program, quality of driver training program and rules
enforcement, whether the vehicle was used within the design parameters, whether the fire
apparatus was manufactured on a custom or commercial chassis, quality of workmanship by the
original manufacturer, quality of the components used, and availability of replacement parts, to
name a few."
Additionally, since 2009, the following requirements have been included in NFPA 1901:
• rollover stability
• tire pressure indicators
• seat belt warning systems requiring all occupants to be properly seated and belted
extended seat belt length requirements resulting from an in-depth anthropometric study
evaluating the size of today's fully dressed firefighter
• roadability, including minimum accelerations and top speed limitations
• enhanced step and work surface lighting
• cab integrity testing
• increased use of retroreflective striping in the rear of apparatus, providing a consistent,
identifiable set of marking for all automotive fire apparatus
Four key elements that need to be considered to determine the valuable service life of fire
department apparatus are Safety, Service, Technological, and Economics.
• Safety: The most crucial factor to consider in the life span of an apparatus is Team member
safety; older apparatus do not meet the same safety standards that newer fire apparatus
must meet. More recent fire apparatus have also incorporated many technological and
safety changes to keep pace with the commercial and automotive industry standards.
• Service: The service life of an apparatus or useable life is determined by the piece of
equipment being able to perform its needed duty. Service life is dependent on numerous
factors and variables. The most significant critical components are service hours, mileage,
the number of responses, overall wear & tear, and pumping/operating capacity.
• Technological: Technological advances have made considerable strides in the past
twenty years. These include enhancements to antilock braking systems, traction control,
rollover stability, breaking ability, foam systems (environmental concerns), etc. Though an
older apparatus may be capable of fulfilling the original role it was designed for, it cannot
match the performance or safety requirements of new vehicles.
• Economic: Total cost for effect over a determined period. The most utilized expenses
include depreciation, operating costs, fuel, oil, maintenance, repairs, available parts,
downtime, and operational operator training. With any vehicle, the cost of maintaining a
given piece of equipment increases over time until it is more expensive to operate and
repair than to replace.
The Fleet Replacement Plan was coordinated with the City of Ukiah Fleet Mechanics, considering
NFPA standards, current maintenance records, up-to-date costs, and current and expected usage
(hours) on all vehicles.
Critical Note: (Hours vs. Mileage) In agreeance with the City of Ukiah Fleet Mechanics and
Fleet Manager, the most vital factor is HOURS, not mileage on fire service equipment.
However, mileage is also a factor in recommended replacements; fire service vehicles can
drive a short distance but then run for exceedingly long periods, causing additional wear on
parts.
Page 9 of 23
This plan covers all types of vehicles currently operated by UVFA and is divided into five separate
categories:
Fire Engine/Truck: The crucial component utilized by the Fire Service, allowing team
members to respond to any emergency ranging from fire, medical, rescue, hazmat, vehicle
fire/crashes, etc. Fire engines and trucks are broken down into various classifications (Type -
I, Type -II, Type -III, etc.) based on the capabilities or specialized equipment of the apparatus.
• Water Tenders: Are designed to shuttle water to areas with limited or no water access.
Water tenders can receive water from various sources, including fire hydrants, reservoirs,
lakes, ponds, rivers, creeks, etc., then move the resource to another location, supplying
water to the fire line. With the addition of a fire -rated pump, the apparatus can is utilized
tactically if necessary.
• Ambulances: Are designed for critical care of injured and ill patients while transporting them
to an appropriate medical facility. Ambulances have various classifications (Type -I, Type-Il,
Type -III, etc.) based on the capabilities and size of the apparatus.
• Specialized Vehicles: This includes all specialized vehicles generally designed for a
specific purpose (Support/Air Unit, USAR, Boat) utilized by the UVFA. These units play a
critical role in the success of the UVFA's mission.
• Emergency Service Staff/Light Duty Vehicles: Are divided into three main categories.
c Chief/Command Vehicle: (Front -Line) used by Chief Officers for day-to-day duties
and responding to incidents in an overhead capacity.
Fire Prevention/inspection Vehicle: (Reserve) used by staff who carry out daily
operations with fire prevention and inspections overseen by the Fire Marshall's
Office, and additionally, respond to larger -scale incidents within the UVFA's
jurisdiction.
Utility Vehicle: (Reserve) utilized by various staff on an as -needed basis for tasks
associated with UVFA's operational needs.

Description: Fire EnaineslTrucks
The crucial component utilized by the Fire Service allows team members to respond to any
emergency ranging from fire, medical, rescue, hazmat, vehicle firelcrashes, etc. Fire engines and
trucks are broken down into various classifications (Type-1, Type -II, Type -III, etc.) based on the
capabilities or specialized equipment of the apparatus.
The most notable benchmark is response volume which indicates usage hours. Other aspects
include excepted future use, mileage, past apparatus required maintenance, and downtime (out of
service due to repairs); it is recommended that front-line vehicles be placed in reserve status at
6,000 hours or 7 to 10 years of front-line service. Additionally, it is recommended that all reserve
apparatus be retired after 12,000 hours of service or 15 to 20 of service.

Plan:
Due to the current use (Hours), E-6881 and E-6863 will be well over 6,000 before the seven-year
mark as, on average, each apparatus puts approximately 1,500 hours of usage per year. E-6881 has
the higher use of the two, which puts it first for replacement.
Page 11 of 23
Utilizing the guide above:
• E-6881 (Type-1): It is recommended for replacement in 2025; the current E-6881 will be
repurposed as a reserve and replace E6882.
• E-6882 (Type-1): will be replaced as the current front-line apparatuses (Type -I) are moved
to reserve status and be listed as surplus.
• E-6883 (Type-1): recommended replacement in 2026; between former E-6881 and E-6883,
one will be used as a reserve as (E-6882) while the other will be listed as surplus.
• E-6861 (Type -II): recommended to be repurposed as a reserve with the purchase of 13-
6861 in 2023; current E-6861 will replace E-6872.
• E-6863 (Type-11): will be removed from service at the end of its useful life in 2030; E-6883
will be listed as surplus and not replaced.
• E-6872 (Type -III): will be replaced as the current front-line apparatuses (Type -II) are moved
to reserve status and be listed as surplus.
• B-6861 (Type -VI): This new purchase will be recommended in 2023, switching from our
current Type -II apparatus to a more versatile and maneuverable Type -VI for our front-line
team members and stations.
• B-6882 (Type -VI): will be replaced as the current front-line apparatuses (Type -VI) are
moved to reserve status and be listed as surplus.

Description:
Water tenders are specialized equipment designed to shuttle water to areas with limited or no
water access. Water tenders can receive water from various sources, including fire hydrants,
reservoirs, lakes, ponds, rivers, creeks, etc., then move the resource to another location,
supplying water to the fire line. Water tenders are mainly designed on a large truck chassis with
a large water tank and fire -rated pump capable of carrying anywhere between 1,000 and 4,000
gallons. Water tenders are typically larger and designed around the single purpose of shuttling
water in rugged or steep terrain. With the addition of a fire -rated pump, the apparatus can be
utilized tactically if necessary.
The most notable benchmark is usage hours. Future use, past apparatus required
maintenance, mileage, and downtime (out of service due to repairs) also play a large part in
replacement. It is recommended that front-line apparatus be placed in reserve status at 6,000
hours or 7 to 10 years of front-line service. Additionally, it is recommended that all reserves be
retired after 12,000 hours of service or 15 to 20 of service.

for hire multiple times a year through CalFire's programs, which justifies the means and covers the
purchase cost.
Utilizing the guide above:
• WT-6892: Anew water tender has been placed on order with a delayed delivery date of late
2023 to early 2024 due to pandemic -related delays. Upon delivery, the current WT 6892 will
be repurposed as non -emergency and utilized by the Public Works Department.
All other subsequent replacements are listed in Appendix A, with projected associated costs

Description:
As with Fire Engine/Truck Apparatus, the Ambulance plays a vital role in the service model for the
UVFA. Ambulances are designed for critical care of injured and ill patients while transporting them
to an appropriate medical facility. Ambulances have various classifications (Type-1, Type-il, Type -III,
etc.) based on the capabilities and size of the apparatus. As there has been a continuous increase
in calls for service over the previous years, UVFA began augmenting the system to serve the
community better. As of 2022, UVFA maintains one fully staffed Ambulance and two that can be
up/cross-staff by our engine companies when available, with an end goal to up staff two additional
Ambulances.
As with fire engines, the most notable benchmark for UVFA is response volume, excepted future
use, past Ambulance required maintenance and downtime; it is recommended that front-line
vehicles be placed in reserve status at 7 to 10 years and/or 6,000 hours of service. Additionally, it is
recommended that all reserve apparatus be retired after 15 to 20 years or 12,000 hours of service.

Plan:
One significant change, USAR-68 is currently a pull -behind trailer without a dedicated vehicle for
towing; the future will be for a dedicated utility truck with a crane to haul the specialty trailers
(USAR/Swiftwater rescue trailers). With the small crane attached makes the vehicle more versatile
and adaptable for any situation that team members encounter.
Utilizing the guide above:
• USAR-68: Utility Truck with small crane recommended purchase in 2027. This new
purchase will be a dedicated vehicle it allows for a rapid response in a time -sensitive
environment.
• Swiftwater Rescue Trailer: recommended purchase in 2027. This new purchase will be
dedicated to water rescue equipment, including the inflatable Boat.
• USAR Rescue Trailer: recommended replacement will be on an as -needed basis.
Page 15 of 23
B68-1: recommended replacement in 2023; the current B68-1 will be placed in reserve
status as B68-2.
• B68-2: will be replaced as current front-line vehicles are moved to reserve status and be
listed as surplus 0
S-6856: recommend replacement in 2030 as the current M-6822 is removed from front-line
service; current S-6856 will be removed from service and placed as surplus.
• S-6857: Currently, the Air System is inoperable but has a generator integrated into the
trailer; S-6857 will be repurposed as an emergency power source during power outages at
Station-683.

Plan:
C-6807 and C-6808 were purchased in 2021, with the expected delivery between the end of 2022 to
early 2023 due to pandemic -related delays. Due to the cost of repairs (transmission), P-6815
replacement will need to be expedited.
Note: The above list has been outlined to include the new C6807/P6815 in-service, as they
have already been purchased and awaiftelle%wr$3
Utilizing the guide above:
• C-6800 recommended replacement in 2030; the current C-6800 will be repurposed as a
utility vehicle.
• C-6806 recommended replacement in 2030; the current C-6806 will be repurposed as a
utility vehicle.
• C-6807 recommended replacement in 2031; the current C-6807 will be repurposed as a
utility vehicle.
• C-6808 recommended replacement in 2031; the current C-6808 will be repurposed as a
utility vehicle.
• P-6815 recommended replacement in 2023; the current vehicle will be removed from
service and placed as surplus due to the cost of repairs to the transmission.
• P-6816 is contingent upon the Fire Prevention Office's expansion, which will be replaced as
current front-line vehicles are moved to reserve status and listed as surplus.
• U-6841: will be replaced as current front-line vehicles are moved to reserve status and be
listed as surplus
• U-6842: will be replaced as current front-line vehicles are moved to reserve status and be
listed as surplus
• U-6843: will be replaced as current front-line vehicles are moved to reserve status and be
listed as surplus
All other subsequent replacements are listed in Appendix A, with projected associated costs
in Appendix B.
NOTE: Some of the UVFA equipment (Pickup Trucks) removed from emergency service
could be utilized by other departments within the city for non -emergency use. Different
departments would consider a longer useful life for vehicles, thus cutting costs across the
City of Ukiah.
