The Authority is not empowered to levy a tax, and is funded by assessments from the three founding entities. The Durango Fire & Rescue Authority is governed by a seven-member board of directors made up of two representatives from each founding entity and one member selected at large. The governing board is responsible for, among other things, adopting the budget, appointing committees, and hiring the Authority’s fire chief. The fire chief is responsible for carrying out the policies of the board of directors, for overseeing the day-to-day operations of the Authority.
