Fire Services in Support of Special Events <br />The Livermore -Pleasanton Fire District provides standby services during special events. As such, the <br />District prepared a schedule of hourly labor rates as calculated for them by the Livermore Finance <br />Department. In addition to hourly rates for staff support per engine company or individual, a schedule <br />of apparatus/equipment rates is included in the proposed fee schedule. We reviewed the suggested rates <br />and noticed the process for calculating fully burdened labor rates generally conforms to the process <br />described above, and the apparatus/vehicle rates are sourced from data provided by the California Office <br />of Emergency services which is a common practice used by fire services agencies to determine equipment <br />usage rates. However, we were unable to review the specific cost components underlying labor rate <br />calculations as they were performed by Livermore and adopted already by Livermore City Council. <br />Nonetheless, we would agree these rates could also defensibly be adopted by Pleasanton's City Council <br />and would ensure consistency between the cities for similar services. The following table presents the <br />final rates adopted by Livermore City Council. <br />Table 1.
