Revenues
For FY2027, the Fire Control, Prevention, & Emergency Medical Services District
(FCPEMSD) is proposing a total revenue budget of $3,189,162. The majority of
funding is projected from sales tax revenues, which are estimated at $2,936,319,
102
reflecting continued economic growth and increased collections. In addition,
investment interest revenue is projected at approximately $252,844, supported
by higher cash balances and favorable interest rate conditions.
Expenditures
The proposed FY2027 expenditure budget totals $4,111,586, representing a
decrease of $262,741, or 6.0%, compared to the FY2026 revised budget of
$4,374,327. While overall expenditures decline, the budget continues to prioritize
firefighter and emergency medical responder safety, operational readiness, and
the replacement of critical public safety assets. Operating expenditures of
$335,500 support essential equipment and safety initiatives, including extrication
tools, handheld mobile radios and headsets, ballistic protection replacement, and
bunker gear and accessories. These investments enhance responder safety,
improve emergency communications, strengthen rescue capabilities, and ensure
compliance with equipment replacement schedules. Capital Outlay totals
$2,989,836 and includes the replacement of an ambulance equipped with a new
Stryker Power -LOAD system, three staff vehicles, a ladder truck, and emergency
response equipment to maintain reliable service delivery and reduce
maintenance costs associated with aging assets. In addition, $94,836 is
budgeted for the Zoll One Program.
