First of all any costs that were specific to buildings and their up keep I have used 75% of the costs from 2012 has we are now running three buildings instead of four.
Any costs associated with personnel I have used 56% of what we allowed in 2012 based on there being fifty personnel instead of the previous ninety.
Then any costs that were specific to the previous Rescue station I have eliminated except for notes that you will see below the figures shown.

| Note 1: Salaried Personnel used one third of Directors salary $40,000 $95,000 for Fire Chief and $85,000 for Deputy Fire Chief Total of $220,000 Note 2: Honorariums/Wages Used $500 a month per captain (3) $75 per member per month to be on call, (50) and an average of (150) calls per year at (6) people showing up for (2) hours at $15 per hour. Note 3: Used 30% for benefits on Salaries,Honorariums and Wages same has 2012. Note 4: Training allowed (1) hour per week per member (50) at $15 per hour times (50) weeks. Note 5: Contracted costs I allowed for (3) full time Firemen at $6,000 per month each for (8) months. Note 6: I assumed same revenues as 2012. The number they are showing for 2013 is $437,000 my numbers come to $689,000. We all know numbers can be juggled, for example where you assign your Director's dollars can have an impact of 10-30% on a department's budget. Anybody that feels my numbers are out of whack, or feels I have used the wrong assumptions give me a call at 403 563 4128 I would be more than glad to change them. When the numbers come out for the Municipalities year end audit I will take the numbers from the 2012 budget for Wages/Benefits etc and show my readers how they created a surplus for 2012. |
