into a tax increase argument. By reprioritizing the capital plan you can fund these urgently <br /> needed public safety projects without increasing taxes. <br /> We need your laser focus on Emergency Services — right now— as a critical priority. It's a <br /> matter of life and death —for both county residents and the emergency personnel who put their <br /> lives on the line daily to ensure our safety. <br /> Thank you." <br /> Bonnie Hauser from Orange County Voice read a prepared statement: <br /> "Thank you for giving our fire departments a voice last week. It was a good first step in <br /> rebuilding the county's relationship with these outstanding, community-based organizations. <br /> As a next step, please give the fire chiefs some breathing room so that they can develop their <br /> strategic plan working with UNC. Their systems work well today and, as you now know, they <br /> are effectively preparing for the challenges of the future. Unlike the critical issues affecting <br /> your call centers, the fire chiefs are dealing with routine issues such as insurance ratings and <br /> standards of service. They also plan to look at their own organizations and options to <br /> standardize the fire tax rate. <br /> Last week, you heard that trusts have been violated and, unfortunately, gestures from the <br /> county are now met with suspicion. If you truly want to rebuild these relationships, we <br /> encourage you to work with the fire departments at arm's length — similarly to the way you work <br /> with the school boards, or towns or other organizations that you do not directly control. <br /> Certainly, if you have questions, ask them. If you'd like a progress report, ask for one. If you <br /> want help with your own planning, invite them. Open communications would be a welcome <br /> change from the rumors that are now swirling about the county's hidden agendas. <br /> There is no indication that the rural fire departments are broken — but if you have concerns or <br /> questions, please raise them. Our chiefs need to hear from you. <br /> You can also help by referring citizen comments or complaints to the fire chiefs. Make it <br /> county policy. Put contact information for the fire departments on your website. <br /> That way, the chiefs can properly explain service, safety and other matters -- and how they <br /> relate to the fire tax and insurance premiums. They will certainly mention hundreds of selfless, <br /> well trained volunteers plus the land, water and other assets that have been generously <br /> donated to secure our communities and keep costs in check. Every community is different— <br /> but with the proper explanation, citizens will realize that their fire tax is a bargain. <br /> We realize that our fire departments are not perfect— but they are effective guardians of our <br /> communities. They exemplify dedication and service that money can't buy. <br />
