City DP S proposes Plan C for five year fire service upgrades
Baker notes city administration recommends 9.96 million next year about 207000 less than DPS request. Plan A priced at 44 million over five years would add 8 full time staff but may take a decade. Plan B saves 2 million and adds 5 staff but likely unattainable in five years. Plan C, feasible within five years, funds include 45000 for field reporting, 70000 antenna tower, 185000 pumper tanker, fleet analysis, 360000 ADA work at Southern Boulevard station and other renovations.

Rio Transit Faces Budget Gap After County Subsidy Cuts
Rio Transit could need an extra 44000 in the coming year to maintain current service levels after the county subsidy fell short. The city administrator proposes a 158631 budget, with senior services seeking new revenues via ads on vans and Medicaid reimbursements, plus scheduling changes to boost options for funding. The system runs seven vans with rides costing 1 to local areas and 3 outside, limited to Rio Rancho and nearby communities. Ridership has risen from 500 to over 1300 since 1997.
