FY 13 Budget Hearing

Carroll County Volunteer Emergency Services Association

(Carroll County Times 03/28/12)

CCVESA personnel used visuals to show commissioners how fire and EMS calls have steadily increased in the county. CCVESA President Steve Wantz said the organization provides outstanding services at only a fraction of the cost of a full-time fire service.

Moving to a full-time fire service would add millions to the county budget, said Neal Roop, county liaison for CCVESA. The county is saving about $25 million a year by using volunteers, Roop said.

CCVESA is asking for a 3 percent increase, or about $300,000, for FY13. Powerpoint presentation...
