2013 FIRE COMMISSIONERS ELECTION

PLEASE TAKE THE TIME AND VOTE AT THIS YEARS
FIRE COMMISSIONERS ELECTION
  



The Fire District election is routinely overlooked by Eastchester
residents, as less than 4 percent of eligible voters turnout to vote.  The
approved 2014 budget for The Eastchester Fire District is $16.7M and directly impacts your tax assessment. This election should be
taken just as seriously as any Town Election or School Board Election for these
board members manage and administer a budget that is larger than
the individual town budgets of Bronxville or Tuckahoe.



The Eastchester Board of Fire Commissioners election will take
place on December 10, 2013 to appoint a member of the Eastchester Board of Fire
Commissioners for a term of five (5) years. The Eastchester Fire District is a
separate and autonomous unit of government that serves Eastchester, Bronxville,
as well as Tuckahoe. It is governed by a Board of (5) five Fire Commissioners
who are responsible for general administration; the appointment of department
personnel, physician, attorney, and secretary; and the preparation and adoption
of the annual Fire District budget after a public hearing.  While this budget appears in the
town-at-large budget, the Eastchester Town Board is not authorized to alter it
in any way.
