ON MOTION by Commissioner O'Bryan, SECONDED <br />by Commissioner Solari, the Board unanimously <br />adopted the tentative budget in the amount of <br />$14,372,690, for the Transportation Fund. <br />EMERGENCYSERVICES DISTRICT <br />Administrator Baird announced that the proposed millage of 1.7148 is 11.27% below <br />rollback; and that the proposed budget is $26,736,213, a decrease of $4,286,039 from last year. <br />He revealed that the new Fire Station (12) would be opening in the Gifford area with seven full <br />time employees, at a cost of $501,512. He mentioned that the budget is down because the station <br />repairs, replacements, and upgrades were finished last year, decreasing this year's budget by <br />$2,372,190; and that the fuel savings was about $91,000. He informed the Board that the budget <br />included a merit raise of $273,918, but not a Cost of Living Adjustment (COLA) raise. He <br />pointed out that some of the line items for operating were decreased, and that there was no new <br />capital in this budget, as in years past. <br />Administrator Baird clarified for Chairman Davis that the new station would include dual <br />certified individuals, and an ALS engine assigned (not an ALS engine and ambulance). He also <br />noted that an Assistant Chief position was eliminated. <br />Commissioner O'Bryan explained that the grant extension would not postpone the <br />opening of Station 12. <br />The Chairman opened the floor to public comments. <br />7 <br />September 9, 2009 <br />Preliminary Budget Hearing <br />
