A MESSAGE FROM THE COMMISSIONERS
The Board of Fire Commissioners for Seaford Fire District consists of five publicly-elected officials, each of whom serves a five year term.. Much like the volunteer firefighters we work with, we are not paid to serve as Commissioners. It is our responsibility to provide the necessary apparatus, buildings and equipment needed to assist the Seaford Fire Department in the fire and rescue activities that are essential for the protection of life and property within the Seaford Fire District. It is also our responsibility to operate the Seaford Fire District in accordance with the laws of the State of New York. To that end, we meet on a monthly basis, to oversee the operation of the Fire District and to make policies and procedures under which the Fire District, the Fire Department, and the Seaford Hook, Ladder & Engine Company #1 operate. While the budget of the Fire District is not voted on by the voters in Seaford, we remain keenly aware of the fiduciary responsibility we hold in representing the taxpayers within our Fire District. As Commissioners, we are mandated to follow a strict formula
in preparing the budget in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, including specified spending limits. Our process is a public one, and we welcome the input of the residents and taxpayers we represent in the Seaford Fire District.
