CENTENNIAL <br />FIRE DISTRICT <br />PRIDE • HONOR • INTEGRITY • PROFESSIONALISM <br />TO: Steering Committee <br />FROM: Chief Lundstrom <br />RE: 2018 CFD Budget <br />DATE: June 29, 2017 <br />The 2018 budget is a 0% increase over the 2017 budget of $599,931. <br />2 East Road <br />Circle Pines, MN 55014 <br />651-792-7900 <br />The budget formula had a very slight shift with Centerville dropping .8% to Circle Pines increasing .8% due to <br />having a higher call volume. The Cities contributions would be $265,170 for Centerville and $334,761 for Circle <br />Pines. <br />The call budget was reduced for Medicals by $15,000 otherwise; the fire call budget stayed the same. <br />The fulltime personnel proposed increase is 2.75%. <br />I am proposing an increase to the Firefighters hourly pay rate. Currently the pay rates are $9.50/hr. for new <br />firefighters, once all certifications are complete, they are bumped up to $10.50/hr. After completing the 2 -year <br />probation period they are then given 11.50/hr. and after they reach their 5 -year anniversary they receive the top <br />pay of $12.50/hr. There has not been an increase since 2011. Using 2016 call numbers (416) and if all firefighters <br />were earning the wage for completing over 5 years this would be an additional $1682. Training would be an <br />additional $1900. There is currently 16 firefighters at $11.50 and 21 at $12.50/ hour. <br />The Maintenance budget had the largest increase. We have two additional apparatus (New engine & Ladder), and <br />we are anticipating more repairs with the age of the other apparatus. We have two apparatus that are from the <br />1990's, Engine 31 and Grass 11. The other engine is 16 years old. <br />If you would like to have a discussion before our meeting on July 20 please feel free to call or stop by the office. <br />35 <br />
