$148,469.82
In Plain English
The Fire Department needs extra money to pay overtime when firefighters rotate into teaching positions at the 2023 fire academy. The city's current overtime budget does not cover these additional shifts. If approved, experienced firefighters can train new recruits while maintaining regular fire station coverage.
