2. DISCUSSION
a. Discuss 2009-2010 Fire Control, Prevention, and Emergency Medical Services
District Proposed Budget and Budget Process - Finance.
Discussed the Fire Control, Prevention, and Emergency Medical Services District (FCPEMSD)
2009-10 Proposed Budget and budget process.
A copy of the proposed budget was included in the packet. A notice of public hearing will be
published at least 10 days prior to the suggested public hearing date of July 21, 2009. This is the
same date recommended for the Board to adopt the budget so that it can be submitted to City
Council for consideration. The City Council will also hold a public hearing on the proposed
budget and must adopt it at least 30 days before the beginning of the fiscal year.
Deputy General Manager, Bob Leiper, summarized the budget as being in line with what has
been done in past years. He further explained the new contingency line item to the budget which
gives the Board flexibility in approving the spending of funds if needed instead of waiting until
next year's budget. Mr. Leiper explained that by law, funds cannot be used that are not in the
budget and if some unforeseen or new program is needed, without the new contingency item
added it will have to wait until next year. With this new line item it gives the Board more
flexibility to be able to consider the unforeseen or new program. This contingency process is
only available to spend if the revenue comes in and can only be expended if, once requested by
one of the public safety directors, and the Board approves.
