Jersey City Fire Department

CY2025 adopted appropriation within CAPS: “Fire & Emergency Services” Salaries & Wages $78,910,076 + Other Expenses $2,180,183 = $81,090,259. Read from the PDF text layer; the document carries a CERTIFICATION OF ADOPTED BUDGET and is titled “A Resolution to Adopt the Calendar Year 2025 Municipal Budget” (approved 2025-09-17). CALENDAR-YEAR basis confirmed — Jersey City moved off a State Fiscal Year at its FY2010 transition budget and has been on a calendar year since CY2011. CROSS-CHECKED TWICE: (1) the 2024 comparative column ($77,096,506 / $1,806,302) exactly matches the separately retrieved CY2024 adopted budget; (2) the amendment table inside the same resolution shows Fire S&W moving from $78,484,608 as introduced to $78,910,076 as adopted, reconciling to Sheet 15b. NOTHING TO EXCLUDE: there is no Uniform Fire Safety Act / Bureau of Fire Prevention line in the CY2025 budget (the CY2024 budget carried one at FCOA 25-266 — a different code — at $0, and it was dropped entirely for CY2025); despite the “Fire & Emergency Services” caption there is no separate EMS appropriation at 25-260/25-261 and no 25-242 line, so 25-265 is the sole fire appropriation. Dispatch (25-271), OEM (25-268), Public Safety Director (25-270) and Police (25-240) are separate FCOAs and are excluded. NOT the UFB-7 figure: the 2025 UFB-7 “Fire Fighters” Total Personnel Cost is $114,771,115.02 fully loaded (base $77,146,526.43 + OT $585,000 + pension $22,711,937.38 + health $13,202,454.58 + taxes $1,125,196.63) — that is not an appropriation and is not used here.
