The Beach Reporter – City trims Fire Department costs to close increased deficit
Friday, August 21st, 2009by Jennifer Evans
With an additional $1 million added to the already $5.6 million deficit, the El Segundo City Council, during the Aug. 18 City Council meeting, agreed to receive and file the preliminary budget, which included additional cuts made to the El Segundo Fire DepartmentÄôs overtime budget.
ÄúWe are not putting the city at danger with these cuts,Äù El Segundo Mayor Kelly McDowell said. ÄúWe are not proposing to cut anyoneÄôs salary or lay anyone off in the department. We are just trying to cut back on overtime, because as it is, it is one of the cityÄôs biggest expenditures.Äù
With a staff of 19 firefighters on duty at all times and an average salary of $100,000, the El Segundo Fire Department is one of the most expensive fire departments in the South Bay. The staff is double that of Manhattan Beach, which has a staff of nine firefighters on duty at one time and more than triple of that of Hermosa Beach, which has a staff of six at any given time.

ÄúI think we probably have the best cars represented of any car show and to top it off, this is a beautiful place to be. The weather should be nice and we have great restaurants and great shopping,Äù El Segundo Police Sgt. Dean Howard, who is helping to organize this yearÄôs event, said. ÄúItÄôs just a good local gathering of people and a good opportunity for people to bring their families down for a nice event.Äù
