Summary:
The Board of Directors should consider and take action on approving the FY 2018-2019 Deer Park Fire Control, Prevention and Emergency Medical Services District (FCPEMSD) Budget. A proposed budget was presented at the May 14, 2018 Board Meeting and made available at the public hearing on June 11, 2018.
