Okaloosa County Departments Told to Trim Budgets
Okaloosa County commissioners voted to cut about 400000 from roughly 43 million in the county budget. Department heads must identify nonessential items to cut. Sheriff Larry Gilbert said the 3.2 million budget is lean and would not cut deputies unless ordered. The EMS and airport budgets were tentatively approved, with EMS at 840000 and two new ambulances sought. Adams opposed EMS approval, urging voluntary deferrals of projects. The panel expects a balanced budget by week’s end.
