"City may trim county fire money"


"Four Guilford County fire districts could face their own budget shortfalls
because of the city [of Greensboro’s] money troubles.

Greensboro pays the four districts
...about $1 million annually to respond to emergencies on the outskirts of the city.

Interim City Manager Denise Turner Roth
recommended trimming $59,000 from the stations
to help close a $4.1 million budget shortfall.


What happened to the budget shortfall?

...Last year, the cut was equivalent
to the salary of one full-time staff member..."

"For the fourth year in a row, Greensboro is facing a significant budget gap, 
Interim City Manager Denise Roth 
told residents Monday night at Lindley Recreation Center.

This year’s total: $5.6 million."
