Frederick -Firestone Fire District Staffing Plan (Strategic Goal #6) The District will hire one (1) Mechanic - EVT and one (1) Fire Protection Specialist in 2025. The mechanic is needed to assist the Fleet Manager with the significant workload developing as the District grows. Likewise, the Fire Protection Specialist is needed due to the population and building growth increasing the demand for fire and life safety inspections. Hiring will also be completed to fill any vacancies caused by normal attrition of personnel. The District continues to apply for the Federal Staffing for Adequate Fire and Emergency Response (SAFER) grant to potentially mitigate the overall cost of hiring personnel in 2025 through 2027. The Federal SAFER grant provides three (3) years of financial support for departments needing to hire additional staffing. Unfortunately, the District continues to be unsuccessful in obtaining this grant funding from the Federal Government.

The Fire Chief and Executive Staff of the District prepared the budget based on the modified accrual basis of accounting. The initial 2025 Proposed Budget was presented by Fire Chief Jeremy A. Young and Finance Director Cummins to the Board of Directors on October 14, 2024, with public hearings and subsequent adoption by the Board of Directors on November 13, 2024, and December 9, 2024. District Background: The District is a quasi -municipal corporation and a State of Colorado political subdivision. The District is in Southwest Weld County, in the State of Colorado, and provides all -hazards emergency services to the Town of Frederick, the Town of Firestone, and portions of unincorporated Weld County. These services are provided through Intergovernmental Agreements with both the Towns of Frederick and Firestone that assisted in forming the Frederick -Firestone Fire Protection District as the sole all -hazards emergency services provider within the corporate limits of both towns. The original intergovernmental agreements were established in 2003 and require the District to align its boundaries with the Towns' whenever the Towns' boundaries expand through annexations. The District and Towns renewed the Emergency Services Intergovernmental Agreements in 2023 for a thirty-year term. The District was created in 1975 by order and decree of the District Court in Weld County, Colorado. The District's jurisdiction comprises approximately 36 square miles of Southwest Weld County. The population served by the District is approximately 42,000 residents. The District is governed by an elected Board of Directors and operated by full-time paid Executive and Administrative Staff, Paramedics, EMTs, and Firefighters. The District provides fire suppression, fire, and injury prevention, public education, technical rescue, water & ice rescue, hazardous materials emergency response, oil and gas emergency response, community risk -reduction, emergency management and preparedness, and advanced life support (ALS) emergency medical transport services for the Towns of Frederick and Firestone and unincorporated areas of Weld County. The District also provides services outside its boundaries according to mutual aid, automatic aid, and closest unit agreements with other fire protection districts and municipal fire departments. ix 2025 ANNUAL BUDGET FREDERICK -FIRESTONE FIRE DISTRICT BUDGET MESSAGE District Background Continued: Under these agreements, each emergency service agency pledges to assist the others, when necessary, in providing additional fire, rescue, and emergency medical equipment and personnel to deliver firefighting, specialized rescue, emergency medical care, and medical transport within the jurisdiction of the other emergency service agency. District services are provided through five (5) fire stations. Construction of Station 5 was completed in August 2024, and Station 5 was placed in service on August 19, 2024. Each station has bays for the housing fire and emergency service apparatus and living areas for the District's Paramedics, EMTs, and Firefighters who live there while on 48 -hour work shifts. In addition, the District's Administration is located at 8426 Kosmerl Place in Frederick. Its primary purpose is to house all administrative personnel, training, and public education, including the Carbon Valley Emergency Operations Center (EOC). Please note that from approximately mid -October 2023 to mid -March 2024, the District's Administration will be temporarily located at 9551 WCR 11 due to renovation of the current Administration Building. The District currently owns four (4) Type I Engines, two (2) Aerial Apparatus, one (1) Heavy Rescue, two (2) Type VI Engines, one (1) Water Tender, four (4) ALS Transport Ambulances, and twelve (12) additional support vehicles.

Here is a breakdown of the projected revenue by type for Fiscal Year 2025. Revenue By Type ■ Property Tax w Intergovernmental h1 Specific Ownership Tax ■ Interest Earnings id Service Charges ■ Other Revenue Property Taxes (Tax Revenue) is the largest amount of revenue at 81.2% provided to the District for services provided and rendered to residents and business owners within the Fire District boundaries.

The tax is calculated by the Weld County Assessor's office. 13 2O25 ANNUAL BUDGET FREDERICK -FIRESTONE FIRE DISTRICT BUDGET MESSAGE 2024 District Budget Planning Calendar for 2025: The District's fiscal year 2025 budget preparation and presentations were as follows: • July 15-31 Project managers provide draft budgets. • August 15-31 Project managers meet with Executive Staff • September Budget preparation by the Fire Chief and Finance Director • October 14 First reading and presentation of the proposed budget • October 17 Second reading and presentation of the proposed budget • November 13 Public hearing held on the proposed 2025 budget • December 9 Final public hearing & adoption of 2025 budget • December 12-22 County, State, and Department of Local Affairs (DOLA) submittals for 2025. The certified Mill Levy for 2025 is 13.900 mills for all general operating purposes, representing the 2019 voter -authorized level. An additional 1.634 mills are levied for debt service for General Obligation Loans approved by the District's voters in 2022. Frederick and Firestone's Urban Renewal Authorities (FURAs) are active within the Fire District. The Fire District allows portions of our tax appropriations to pass through to both Towns to enhance growth in the area. The pass -through of funding is from the District's mill levies, and the funds collected by the FURAs are in several Tax Increment Financing (TIF) areas within the community. Based on a Gross Assessed Valuation by the Weld County Assessor of $854,816,893 which includes the FURA TIF areas' valuation of $125,683,437, the total property tax and tax increment financing pass -through revenue for the District in 2025 is anticipated to be $14,743,001 for both general and debt service mills. An additional $3,415,600 in revenue is anticipated from other revenue sources, including specific ownership, developer impact fees, grants, ambulance service fees, and new construction life safety and fire code enforcement fees. 2O24 ANNUAL BUDGET FREDERICK -FIRESTONE FIRE DISTRICT BUDGET MESSAGE District Reserves Explanation: The District's Reserves were established to provide for two (2) primary purposes: 1.To provide for emergency funding of unanticipated expenses resulting from natural or manmade emergencies, unanticipated revenue shortages, and additional expenses not anticipated with approved projects; 2.To provide for capital planning and life -cycle replacement through an annual contribution for fleet, equipment, and facilities purchasing; All reserves are maintained in a ColoTrust Account (Plus or Prime) or Business Checking Account. All funds in the ColoTrust Account or any investment account must be maintained, secured, and invested only in investments authorized explicitly by Federal and State standards and approved by the District's Board of Directors. District Reserves for 2025: Unassigned Reserves - This account exists to provide an equalization mechanism to maximize interest revenues for monthly collections of surplus revenues over expenses and to fund General Fund expenses in periods of excess monthly expenses over collected revenues. It is also used to fund specific General Fund Expenses that are considered extraordinary, sporadic, or temporary in nature so as not to interrupt funding for reoccurring General Fund programs and projects. We strive to keep a minimum of $1,250,000 in this unassigned capacity year to year to cover District liabilities from fiscal year to year many times during low property tax disbursements from Weld County. Currently we are planning a 2024 year-end balance total to be $3,774,970. Operating Contingency (Tabor) Reserve - This account allows for funding flexibility during short periods of economic downturns and to provide for funding of unforeseen expenses that occur during a budget year. The District's target level for this account is 25% of the operating budget (not including the capital facilities, capital equipment, or debt service expenditures). This was previously accomplished through two (2) reserves; the restricted Emergency Contingency (TABOR) reserve and the restricted Operating Contingency reserve. These two Colotrust accounts are now combined to form the Operational Contingency (Tabor) Reserve. Each year the District has added surplus revenue to this account. 15 2025 ANNUAL BUDGET FREDERICK -FIRESTONE FIRE DISTRICT BUDGET MESSAGE Operating Contingency Reserve Continued - As operating expenditures have grown with the growth of the District, funding this account at the 25% target has required greater contributions. The projected 2024 year-end balance of this reserve is projected to be $4,347,538, about 25.1% of 2025 budgeted operating expenditures. The projected 2025 year-end balance total of $4,932,538 is approximately 28.4% of 2025 budgeted operating expenditures. This is a restricted reserve and requires full Board approval to expend or transfer funds from this account. Capital Equipment - This account is in place to cover estimated replacement cost of fleet and capital equipment assets at the end of their projected life cycle or additions to meet the mission of the District. This schedule is adjusted annually for projected inflationary increases and now lead times for certain orders. Therefore, a fire engine purchased in the current year with the same equipment and capabilities will have a higher annual investment amount than an engine purchased four years ago. The balance in this account is projected to be $4,797,636 at the end of 2024 and $2,804,136 at the end of 2025. At this point in time, it is expected that the District will expend about $2.5 Million from this account in 2025 on capital equipment assets. Capital Facilities - The 2025 Budget contains a little over $4.9 Million in capital facilities projects. Currently, this expenditure is scheduled to come from the Colotrust GO Loan Series 2022 proceeds account. There are remaining proceeds from this loan acquired in 2022, for the specific purpose of the capital facilities assets such as those budgeted for 2025. This being the case, it is not planned for expenditures to emanate from this account in 2025. This account is projected to end 2024 with balance of $7,554,129 and end 2025 with a balance of $8,044,129. The financial information provided includes all sources of revenue and expenditures and beginning and ending fund balances. This budget is implemented by the District's Board of Directors to guide priorities and planning for delivering all -hazard emergency services and community risk -reduction to the citizens of Frederick, Firestone, and portions of unincorporated Weld County, Colorado. 2025 ANNUAL BUDGET FREDERICK -FIRESTONE FIRE DISTRICT BUDGET MESSAGE This budget may be amended for unforeseen circumstances or unanticipated revenues or expenses. The District complies with all State of Colorado Revised Statutes Title 32 Special District requiring a yearly independent financial audit(s), and all audits are available upon request and are located on the District's website. All audits comply with the most current and relevant Government Accounting Standards Board (GASB) requirements as a Title 32 Special District's for the State of Colorado.
