Subject: Budget Request

We received your request for a Budget Proposal dated July 12, 1996. As you know, the Board of
Director's meet on the second Tuesday of each month (July 9th) and were extremely limited with
time to prepare the Budget, only having one meeting prior to your request for submission by
August 19th.
In an attempt to present the Budget as fiscally correct as possible, we feel that submitting a
budget consisting of a 12% reduction would be impossible at this time. A quick -action situation
could certainly find us in the same situation the Town is in right now due to poor budgeting by the
Town Board (i.e. Loader purchase).
The Fire Department strives to be forward thinking and incorporates replacement monies for large
expenditure items. You will note that our budget reflects this as well.
If you need any explanation (other than what is provided) we would be happy to meet with the
Town Board or yourself to discuss the items.

I would like to start by saying that the requests you made to us on July 12,1996 gave us eery little
time to compile all the information you had requested. We were able to submit to you your first
request," whatever fmiding level you feel justified ul requesting by your deadline date but wiefe
unable to compile the remaining information in time. Enclosed you will fund some of the renialitifi
information you requested, however we still stand firm that a 12% reduction is impossible to do at
this time,primaraly due to the rising costs to operate the Eire Department:
There are some issues that you stated in your letter to us that I would like to comment on..
We have talked to other department heads and as of August 24th they had not yet even subn7 i ted
their budgets so I guess we were not the only department that had not complied. The Board of
Directors has no idea why you feel our cover letter was " distinctly abrasive " unless you are
trying to read something into it. that is not there.
On the matter of being caught " red handed " the Board of Directors is appauled that you would
make such a statement. The only thing we were caught " red handed at was trying to save the
taxpayers some money in interest. It is our understanding that as of this date you have yet to subnut
the application to the state,even after you have been requested to do so by the Town Board
members.
The Board of Directors and the Enfield Volunteer Fire Company Inc: due feel that we know besi
what is good for the residents of the Town of Enfield when it cotyles to fire and emergency medical
services. We can only hope that the Town Board would accept this and be more Willing to work-
with
orkwith us and not against us. The majority of the membership feel that the Town Board has alread)r
draw the battlelines, the Board of Directors truly hopes this isnot the case.
The bottom'1ine is that the Enfield Volunteer Fire Company Inc. would very much like to continue
to provide volunteer fire and EMS service for the Town of Enfield however the proper amount of
funding must be there for us to continue to do so.
