Consideration of 2004 Centennial Fire District Budget <br />56 Fire Chief Bennett summarized the report, noting several increases and decreases to the Fire District <br />57 Budget. He stated the Fire Inspector is in his first four years, and therefore still going through step <br />58 increases. He noted vehicle maintenance was increased based on experience, and building <br />59 maintenance decreased by the same process. He stated equipment purchases have been put on hold as <br />60 well. He further stated dues and memberships were reduced, and they have eliminated most travel <br />61 expenses. He noted that for conferences and schooling they will look at doing as much of the training <br />62 with in-house staff as possible versus bringing in outside consultants. He stated they are eliminating <br />63 one Assistant Fire Marshall. He indicated the budget allows for a 3% increase for the Fire Chief and <br />64 his assistant. <br />65 <br />66 Fire Chief Bennett indicated the changes correlate to a reduction in cost per person from $25.16 in <br />67 2003, to $24.47 per person in 2004. <br />68 <br />69 Councilmember O'Donnell indicated he noticed there is no depreciation shown in the budget. Fire <br />70 Chief Bennett indicated they have a capital equipment account where that is handled. He stated they <br />71 did not alter that account as it is tied to a 20 -year plan, and they felt it would be shortsighted to make <br />io72 an adjustment. <br />73 <br />74 Councilmember Carlson moved to approve the 2004 Centennial Fire District Budget as presented. <br />75 Councilmember Dahl seconded the motion. <br />76 <br />77 Mayor Bergeson thanked Chief Bennett for a good job on the budget. He noted it is not often they <br />78 receive a proposal for less than the previous year. <br />79 <br />80 Motion carried unanimously. <br />81 <br />82 PUBLIC SAFETY DEPARTMENT REPORT, DAVE PECCHIA <br />83 <br />84 There was no report. <br />85 <br />86 PUBLIC SERVICES DEPARTMENT REPORT, RICK DEGARDNER <br />87 <br />88 There was no report. <br />89 <br />90 COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT REPORT, MIKE GROCHALA <br />91 <br />92 A.
