The County Executive's FY2010 budget proposal was released today. Among the highlights.....
We shall see what the County Board does now....
Cut the department photographer
Eliminate Tanker Driver Positions (Tankers at Stations 412, 416, 420, and 441 - guess the tankers will have to be crossstaffed)
Eliminate 4 BLS units (Stations 408, 409, 410, 411 - these stations currently have an BLS unit and an ALS unit)
Eliminate 2 of 8 Heavy Rescue Companies
Eliminate half of the Special Operations Division (will cut the Hazmat Unit staffing from 4 to 3 per shift and require crosstaffing of the Hazmat Support Unit)
Those are the big items.
