The office is in charge of payroll and personnel records, budgets, purchasing and bill paying. All billing and collection of revenue is done through the administrative offices. To deliver these services, administrative programs are developed and coordinated by a staff of five, consisting of the Fire Chief, the office manager, one Captain, and two senior clerk typists. The goals of the Administration Division are to stay within the funds budgeted to provide the level of emergency and fire services expected by the citizens of Brookline; to supply the Selectmen with prompt and accurate information; to provide clerical and staff support for all subprograms; and to promote a cost-effective fire service delivery system.
