Copper Fire balances budget

At the 9-26-13 CFPD Board meeting the 13/14 fiscal budget was adopted with a unanimous vote.
Chief Kovacs stated, "It is a balanced budget. We did not need to pull anything out of reserves."
Director John Maness stated, "This is the most transparent budget I've sen."
Though the budget was balanced, it left very little wiggle room. "We will not be hiring for years" stated Kovacs.
The Department currently has four full-time employees; Chief, Captain, Engineer/Paramedic and Engineer. It also employs 4 interns, 2 per shift.
