• Fiscal year 2019 budget report (2018, 2017, 2016, 2015, 2014, 2013, 2012, 2011, 2010)
  • These are large files, but full of information about both revenues and expenses (so read carefully–you will also find departments that seem relevant to emergency/first response–‘FTE’ means ‘full-time equivalent’–a 4.0 means there are the equivalent of four full-time staff, but there could be more staff, some working part time, for instance).
  • We want to try to figure out how much taxpayers spend to support emergency/first response services, how many staff are employed, etc.
