In the mayor's Power Point, he mentioned that one of the biggest portions of the budgetary increase was due to negotiations settled with the fire department that committed the city to keeping all 10 engine companies, four trucks, four tactical units and two emergency response units in service. The mayor has requested a 10.7 percent increase for the fire department budget, from $27 million to $30 million.
