2. BAYTOWN FIRE CONTROL, PREVENTION, AND EMS FY2023-24
PROPOSED BUDGET.
a. Discuss the Baytown Fire Control, Prevention and Emergency Medical Services
District Fiscal Year 2023-24 Proposed Budget.
General Manager Jason Reynolds presented the Baytown Fire Control, Prevention and
Emergency Medical Services District Fiscal Year 2023-24 Proposed Budget and stated that at the
last meeting Staff provided the Board an overview of the asset management replacement plan,
and reminded the Board that Personnel costs have been moved to the General Fund. Therefore,
when it's broken down it relates to total Revenue of roughly $2.5 million, with $65,000 going
towards supplies, $1.9 million going towards Capital Outlays, which includes items for an
ambulance, hazmat truck, the high-water vehicle upgrade, and a pickup truck. Debt Services is
$783,000, for a total expenditure of $2.751million, and noted that the $2.75 million is more than
the Revenue that is proposed to bring in as it was prepared for and planned that way. So, it will
be a $200,000 deficit to fund end balance, which will draw down the funding balance from $2.58
million to $2.38 million at the end of the year. The $2.38 million is planned to help pay for future
equipment replacements in the coming years. Furthermore, General Manager Reynolds
commended the Fire Chief John Stringer and his Staff for their efforts in creating an Asset
Management Plan to address future vehicle replacements.
b. Conduct a public hearing regarding the Baytown Fire Control, Prevention, and
Emergency Medical Services District's Fiscal Year 2023-24 Proposed Budget.
