P.O. Box 2200 17718 Woodinville-Snohomish Rd NE Woodinville, WA 98072 Phone 425-483-2131 Fax 425-486-0361 January 2014 I am pleased to present s 2014 budget on behalf of the Board of Commissioners and all District employees. This document is a result of dedicated staff working together to provide a responsible budget which supports the District s internal and external customer s needs in a financially efficient and sustainable manner. On November 4, 2013, the Board of Fire Commissioners adopted the 2014 budget in the sum of $11,718,599. The budget is funded by a levy rate, a benefit charge and the King County Emergency Medical Services levy. This budget is supported by the citizens of the District, who voted to approve two important measures in 2013. District voters re-established a 6-year benefit service charge with an approval rating of 88 percent, and King County voters renewed a 6-year emergency medical services levy which maintains both basic and advanced life support services through 2019. We appreciate the confidence you have shown us by approving these important measures. The budget demonstrates efficiencies through restructuring of roles and responsibilities, including contracting for Fire Chief, Deputy Fire Chief of Operations and financial services. These and other efforts have helped to lower costs over the past three years. The budget plans for the loss of revenue due to the City of Bothell annexation, it provides funding to reopen Station 34 should facts support the need, and it begins to rebuild funds to replace the District s major assets. Also within the budget are funds to support the study of a Regional Fire Authority with partners from the City of Bothell, King County Fire Protection District 16 and Snohomish County Fire Protection District 10. Finally, the budget supports all of the services you have come to expect from. All of us at take seriously the trust you have placed in us to meet your emergent and non-emergent needs, and we look forward to serving you in 2014. Sincerely, Robert Van Horne Fire Chief/Chief Executive Officer Striving for Perfection, Focused on Excellence www.wf-r.org
