On Tuesday, the City of Oakley stated they would be willing to come to the table to assist the East Contra Costa Fire Protection District for a period of two-years as long as the fourth station remained in Knightsen. The move came on the same night the Brentwood City Council decided to take no action on their own MOU which would have supplemented funding with the fire district on a downtown Brentwood station at a cost of $7.2 million over 3-years. The no action came after the local firefighters union opposed the measure. Brentwood nearly approved the MOU after City Manager Gus Vina and councilmembers Steve Barr and Karen Rarey, along with ECCFPD Board Member Joe Young last month claimed both Oakley and the Board of Supervisors would not come to the table to fund a fourth fire station.
