Commissioners set aside $200,000 reserve for fire contract as transfer to county awaits state action
Summary
The budget includes a $200,000 reserve for the town's fire contract; the town manager said any transfer of fire services to Palm Beach County is paused pending pending Tallahassee legislation and would be renegotiated if it proceeds.
The proposed budget includes a $200,000 reserve earmarked for the town's fire contract, which the manager described as a prudent contingency. "The $200,000 reserve is I just think that's smart for right now," she said.
The manager also told commissioners the possible transfer of fire services to Palm Beach County is on hold while state legislation in Tallahassee is unresolved. She said the county initially planned an effective date of Oct. 1, 2026, but the town will need to renegotiate contractual terms or otherwise recalculate obligations if the legislative landscape changes.
