The Frankfort Fire Protection District Board of Trustees on Tuesday, July 15, 2025, began its review of the district’s finances for the upcoming fiscal year.

During the meeting, District Accountant James Howard provided the board with an update and led a discussion on the tentative Fiscal Year 2025 budget. This presentation is the first formal step in the annual process of creating a comprehensive spending plan for the district.
