Elkville Fire Commission approves tentative fiscal 2025-26 budget

The Elkville Fire Commission voted to approve a tentative fiscal year 2025-26 budget at its meeting, adopting a plan that projects $5,400,000 in revenues, a beginning fund balance of $1.3 million, $6,000,000 in expenditures and a projected ending fund balance of $732,742.

Susan, a fire-district staff member, presented the tentative budget and said the document will be filed as the base budget. "We will work through any changes and revisions with the department heads and bring those to the budget committee in April, and those will be forwarded to the commission for approval in the final budgets if there are any changes," Susan said.

Commissioner Gale moved to approve the tentative budget as presented; the motion was seconded by Commissioner Demo. The commission called for the question, members voiced aye and the motion carried. Commissioners present for the vote were Commissioner Gale, Commissioner Carr, Rex and Demo; the vote was recorded as in favor and the motion carried.

The chair opened the meeting to public comment pursuant to the NRS 2 41 code governing public comment at the meeting; no substantive public comments were recorded on the budget item. The commission completed the item and adjourned to its next scheduled County Commission meeting at 1:30 p.m.

The tentative approval does not finalize the district’s fiscal plan. Staff and department heads will review and may propose adjustments at the budget committee meeting in April; any changes would be returned to the commission for action when the final budget is considered.
