2 <br />affected parcels to the East Orange Fire Insurance District. Representatives from Eno Fire and <br />Emergency Services have also been involved in this process and are receptive to the <br />modification of the insurance district. <br />An analysis was conducted by staff to determine the number of parcels affected. Approximately <br />135 will be added to the East Orange Fire Insurance District as shown in the attached East <br />Orange Insurance District Revised Map. The parcels that have been moved are highlighted on <br />the East Orange Insurance District Map. This area is located North of St. Mary's Road and <br />East of Schley Road to the Durham County line. <br />In order to comply with applicable statutes, the County must authorize a fire department to <br />serve a particular district or districts. The County must also ensure tax dollars appropriated to <br />benefit one district are not unlawfully expended outside that district. The attached agreement <br />addresses both of these issues. <br />Both the Caldwell Fire Department Board of Directors and the Eno Fire and Emergency <br />Services Board of Directors approved the agreement in early June 2012. <br />On June 5, 2012 the Emergency Services Workgroup met and approved the attached Agency <br />Agreement and recommends that the Board approve the agreement. This agreement is also <br />recommended to serve as the template for future agreements between fire departments to <br />provide primary fire protection for areas over six (6) road miles from the fire station within its fire <br />district. <br />FINANCIAL IMPACT: The approval of this item has no financial impact on the County. This is <br />an administrative action that will improve primary fire protection with no changes in fire district <br />tax rates. <br />RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends that the Board approve the attached <br />Agency Agreement between Orange County, the Caldwell Fire Department and Eno Fire and <br />Emergency Services for primary fire protection in an area of the Caldwell Fire District as shown <br />on the attached East Orange Fire Insurance District Boundary map approved by the Board on <br />April 19, 2011. <br />
