Budget Committee members can question staff on financial, programs, and operational matters.  The members can suggest and vote on amendments to the proposed budget. The proposed budget as amended by the committee changes is known as the Approved Budget.

The approved budget is recommended to the Hazeldell Fire District Board of Directors for adoption.  A public hearing is held before the Board.  The Board can adopt the budget as approved or vote on changes prior to adoption.
