Financials

The Cromwell Fire District receives its funding through two main sources, Fire District Taxes and Water service/usage fees. The Cromwell Board of Fire Commissioners is responsible for the approval of the Fire District’s annual operating and capital budgets. The final approval of the Fire District budget and tax levy rests with the Cromwell electorate. Water service/usage fees are set by the Board of Fire Commission.

The Executive Director is vested with the responsibility and authority for the overall fiscal management of the District. The Department Heads and the Financial Director will assist in the fiscal management function and with annual budget development. In conjunction with the District’s account clerk, the Finance Director shall review monthly budget and fiscal activity reports, monitor the District's operating budget, conduct expenditure analysis, annualize the expenditure history and estimate the sufficiency of funding for the remainder of the fiscal year, and report findings to the Executive Director and the Board of Fire Commissioners.

The fiscal year for the Cromwell Fire District is July 1 through June 30.
