The proposed FY 15-16 Budget includes an increase to the City's share from 1/3 to 1/2 ($185,000) of the personnel and maintenance expenses associated with the operation of this engine. The additional expense is offset by the significant savings to date be- cause fire personnel costs have been lower than budgeted. Public Safety Master Plan: Per Section 17.8 of the General Plan, the proposed Fy 15-16 budget includes $100,000 to develop a Public Safety Master Plan to guide the future delivery of Police and Fire services. South County Fire will also be participating and paying its share of the plan as they are critical partners in our public safety region due to the growth of our community. The Master Plan will also address the construction and staffing of a third Morgan Hill fire station. The City has 9 years to complete this project or the dedicated land near the courthouse must be sold and pro- ceeds distributed to the underlying taxing jurisdictions.
