Consultant outlines 24-month plan and staffing costs for Livingston municipal fire department
Summary
A consultant recommended a phased, 24-month transition from county-led services to a municipal Livingston Fire Department, with a 3.0-per-shift staffing model, estimated annual personnel costs of $1.4M–$1.7M, and recommended revenue-sharing negotiations with the county.
A consultant hired to evaluate Livingston’s fire services presented a detailed transition plan to the City Council on Jan. 6, proposing a 24-month phased approach to stand up a municipal Livingston Fire Department while maintaining interim Cal Fire services.
The consultant said the county Board of Supervisors had earlier terminated the county-provided fire services for Livingston in early 2024 and noted the council has taken interim steps — including placing Measure L on the ballot and approving an interim cost-sharing agreement to keep Station 96 open — while planning for a local department.
