Budget Process

Each Spring, the Fire Chief submits a proposed budget to the Budget Committee for review and approval. The Budget Committee consists of ten voting members:

• 5 members of the Board of Directors
• 5 appointed community members selected from the district.

The district’s budget operates on a fiscal year running from July 1 to June 30 of the following year.

Our Budget Approach

The budget process is a collaborative effort that involves the entire Hoodland Fire District. It is our goal to be fiscally responsible and ensure we are prudent stewards of the tax-based funding we receive. This means planning for long-term sustainability and using our resources effectively while prioritizing the safety and well-being of the residents and visitors we serve.

We are committed to developing a balanced budget that aligns with the needs of the community, supports essential services, and ensures we maintain a strong financial foundation for the future.
