Board approves $15,000 five-year strategic plan for Hardee County Fire Rescue

Board of County Commissioners of Hardee County · May 21, 2026

Summary

Commissioners authorized a $15,000 interlocal agreement with CFRPC to produce a five-year strategic plan for Hardee County Fire Rescue including community surveys, station- and call-volume analysis, staffing and equipment recommendations, and budgeting guidance.

Public Safety Director Casey Dasher presented a proposed five-year strategic plan for Hardee County Fire Rescue that will include community and staff surveys, in-person workshops, call-history analysis, facility and staffing recommendations, and budget-prioritization guidance. CFRPC consultant Jeri Sackett described the outreach approach, data analysis and stakeholder workshops that will inform a five-year implementation roadmap.

"We're working, implementing a strategic plan, to provide a clear road map for the future of the fire department and the services that we provide to Hardee County," Dasher said, arguing the plan will produce data-driven support for staffing and capital needs. Commissioners endorsed the proposal and unanimously approved the interlocal agreement for $15,000, with expectations that the plan will be used to pursue grants and inform annual budgeting and near-term capital planning.
