Title
Acceptance of the proposed Fiscal Year 2018-2019 FCPEMSD Budget submitted by the Deer Park Fire Department.
Body
Summary:
The Deer Park Fire Department has prepared a proposed budget for the Fire Control, Prevention and EMS District (FCPEMSD) for Fiscal Year 2018-2019. Under a separate agenda item, the Board will be asked to schedule a public hearing on the proposed budget on June 11, 2018 at 5:45 PM.
Fiscal/Budgetary Impact:
Revenues: the proposed Fiscal Year 2018-2019 Budget includes total revenues of $4,129,003. Sales tax revenues of $1,435,200, to be conservative, represent a 5.0 percent increase from the current budget. Investment earnings are estimated at $600 in the new budget year. An additional $2,693,203 from prior year revenue is needed to fund capital outlay, primarily the new EMS Annex at Fire Station #3.
Expenditures: the proposed Fiscal Year 2018-2019 Budget includes total expenditures of $4,129,003, which represents $463,200 for Fire Services, $3,531,041 for Emergency Medical Services, and $134,762 for the Fire Marshal. This amount includes $1,321,403 of operating expenditures and $2,807,600 of capital outlay. Capital expenditures include $2,650,000 for the new EMS Annex at Fire Station #3 and also include the annual lease payments for the Pierce 107’ Ladder Truck and other specialized equipment for Fire Services.
Note: This proposal also reflects the addition of a part-time fire marshal inspector, with funds reclassified from contract labor (reference the Additional Personnel Request on page 21) and the reclassification of an EMS Captain to Assistant Chief - EMS (reference the Position Reclassification/Regrading Request on page 22).
This proposal represents a balanced budget for Fiscal Year 2018-2019.
