  FIRE AND POLICE BUDGET INFORMATION
Fire Services and Police Services are the largest part of the City operating budget.

In 1991 the Fire Service had 1514 employees and a budget of $58,723,253. The 2005 projected budget is 1770 employees with a budget of $106,140,744. This is an increase of 17% in number of employees but an 80% increase in spending. The consumer price index for this period is 38%, less than 1/2 of the increase for the fire services.

In 1991 the Police Services had 1822 employees and a budget of $72,310,133. The 2005 projected budget is 2680 employees with a budget of $177,900,080. This is an increase in number of employees of 47% but a 146% increase in spending. The consumer price index for this period is 38%. Even with the increase in employment, overall budget increase is twice what it should be considering the CPI for the period.

This is total mismanagement and lack of financial controls.
