Community & Emergency Services Budget

45.4 million dollars is going towards the City's Community & Emergency Services Department Operating Budget.  Areas being increased include in Fire Services and Emergency Medical Services.  The EMS budget came in higher because of an expansion that puts 8 additional paramedics in ambulances to address the increasing demand for 911 service.  Fire's operating figures are coming in at almost 25 million and increased due to 3 full time employees.
