The main objectives of this project are to: • Assess the existing fee structure for Fire Department services, including EMS, fire suppression, and other related services. • Develop a comprehensive, transparent, and sustainable fee structure for all Fire Department emergency response services. • Ensure that the new fee structure aligns with local, state, and federal regulations. • Provide a fee system that ensures cost recovery, while considering equity for low-income individuals and vulnerable populations. • Develop recommendations for the implementation and communication of the new fee structure to stakeholders and the public. The Fire Department strives to implement a fair, transparent, and sustainable fee structure that ensures the financial stability of services while maintaining equitable access for the community. The consultant will play a crucial role in developing a fee system that aligns with the Fire Department’s objectives and the needs of the community.
