The Bonita Springs Fire Control and Rescue District is governed by five elected fire commissioners. The commissioners are responsible for setting the tax millage rate, passing the departments annual budget, approving policies and procedures and other such functions.

 

Our board meetings are held at Bonita Springs Fire Station Four at 27701 Bonita Grande Drive on the second Monday of each month at 5:00 p.m.

 

 

My short term goals as Chairman of Bonita Springs Fire Control and Rescue District are:

 

-  Improve our image in our fine community

-  Educate the public on their well trained and prepared department

-  Invite critics and supporters alike to research the facts on how and why decisions are made by making leadership available and accessible  instead of relying on rumors and half-truths

-  Continue to work diligently toward achieving our own medical transport

 

My long term goals are: 

 

Maintain your top notch department while constantly looking for cost effectiveness 

-  Investigate fully whether consolidation will be beneficial for Bonita Springs

-  Restructure labor concerns for new hires to assure sustainability for the future generations of your city 

-  Work closely with elected State officials to alleviate unfunded mandates

  

This city has a Fire Department that ranks in the top 3% and is financially sound. We are constantly reviewing cost cutting measures without sacrificing service and have successfully trimmed millions from the budget. We will come out of this economic downturn a more streamlined and efficient department that you can still be proud of. Stop in at your local station and ask for a tour. You will be welcomed and pleasantly surprised at the professionalism of your firemen and administration. Remember, it is your fire department.
