Budget Considerations

Budget enhancements include up to 5% for employee merit pay increases. The 2024 budget also included a planned re-evaluation of the overall compensation structure for employees. The Fire Department 2024 budget includes the addition of a new, part-time paid Firefighter position with budget authority for filling the position the entire year at an estimated total cost of $146,000. The 2024 budget includes the annual debt service payment to pay for the fire engine pumper purchased in 2018, which had an estimated total purchase cost of $300,449 after the trade in of an older pumper. The debt service payment will be made out of the Fire Equipment Fund for a period of 5 more years, but the funding allocation is shown on the Debt Service budget book page and not in the Fire Department's operating budget. The 2024 budget also includes the continued allocation of $10,000 per year to replace Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), to be paid for out of the Equipment fund. Other approved purchases included in the 2024 general fund Fire Department budget include $4,500 in various operational cost increases and 1/2 the cost of a new Fire Department storage facility with the balance paid from the Fire Equipment Fundusing water utility special assessment funding.
