Summary
The Deer Park Fire Control, Prevention, and Emergency Medical Services District held a public hearing June 15 on its proposed 2026–27 budget.

Deer Park — The Deer Park Fire Control, Prevention, and Emergency Medical Services District held a public hearing June 15 at City Hall to receive comment on the proposed fiscal year 2026–27 budget; no members of the public signed up to speak and the hearing was closed.
Sarah, a staff member for the district, told the board that a few minor changes had been made to the budget since the last packet was distributed, primarily adjustments tied to cost-of-living increases and health insurance. "They've all been pretty small dollar amounts," she said, adding that "nothing overall substantially has changed for the budget." She offered to call the district's finance directors if board members had specific questions.
The chair asked if any board members had questions; none were raised. On a final call for public comment the chair said there were four members present, constituting a quorum, and closed the public hearing.
The hearing served as the formal opportunity for residents to comment on the proposed FY 2026–27 budget; with no speakers and no substantive changes reported by staff, the hearing concluded without public testimony. The transcript does not record any vote on adopting the budget; the board merely conducted the public hearing and closed it.
