At any time the BOCC can cut the number of ambulances, EMTs, fire stations, etc. They have little to no accountability since these items are a small part of their overall budget responsibility.

That's why the IFD is important, their ONLY responsibility would be the ambulance and fire service quality and cost for The Villages, which has very unique needs compared to the rest of Sumter County.
