Dear Resident of the South Fire District,
For your review is the proposed budget for the 2017-2018 fiscal year. This budget will be voted on next
Tuesday, April 25, from 6 a.m. to 8 p.m. at the South Fire District.
This
budget was set by the Fire Commission after our annual series of budget
workshops. The fire commissioners made an effort to ensure that the
budget was carefully and cautiously composed. This budget is as lean as
possible while ensuring the normal contractual growth was not
overlooked. We believe the budget as it stands meets the funding levels
to ensure we can continue to provide critical core
fire, rescue, EMS, Haz-mat, code enforcement and fire prevention
services to the residents of the district.
We,
like the city officials, took into our consideration the volatility and
unpredictability of the state revenues. We used a great deal of caution
ensuring a safe and less reckless approach to the application of state
revenue streams to the budget. We have made every possible effort to
look for ways to cut cost, buy efficiently, track spending trends and
eliminate any expense possible.
We hope that you will come and participate in the vote next Tuesday. If you have any questions on the budget or the fire district please do not
hesitate to contact me.
Sincerely,
Robert J. Ross
South Fire District
445 Randolph Road
Middletown, CT 06457
