The Board will hold a public hearing and consider adoption of the Coastside Fire Protection District preliminary budget for FY 2026/27, along with multiple resolutions setting the appropriations limit and authorizing San Mateo County to place benefit assessments and special taxes on the tax roll for various zones and community facilities districts. These actions collectively determine the District’s revenue base and spending authority for the coming fiscal year, including capital projects, equipment, and operations. While the agenda does not enumerate specific line items, adoption of the budget and tax/assessment resolutions is a precursor to funding station projects, apparatus replacement, technology, wildfire prevention programs, and training that will be procured throughout FY 2026/27.Vendors providing fire equipment, station construction and renovations, consulting, and technology solutions should track the approved budget and subsequent committee reports to time their outreach to upcoming funded initiatives.

The preliminary budget and special tax/assessment resolutions will shape available funding for station projects (including Station 40 and 44), apparatus, and wildfire prevention over FY 2026/27.
