1 <br /> ORANGE COUNTY <br /> BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS <br /> Action Agenda <br /> Item No zx E <br /> AbTION AGENDA ITEM ABSTRACT <br /> Meeting Date: May 17, 1994 <br /> SUBJECT: Revision to Fire Protection Contract with North Chatham VFD <br /> ----------------------------------------------------------------------- <br /> DEPARTMENT Emergency Management PUBLIC HEARING YES NO X <br /> -------------------------------- ------------------------------- <br /> ATTACHMENT(S) INFORMATION CONTACT <br /> 1992 Contract Nick Waters, ext 3030 <br /> TELEPHONE NUMBER <br /> Hillsborough 732-8181 <br /> Chapel Hill 968-4501 <br /> Mebane 227-2031 <br /> Durham 688-7331 <br /> ----------------------------------------------------------------------- <br /> PURPOSE: To consider a request from North Chatham Volunteer Fire <br /> Department to revise the contract amount for fire protection they <br /> provide to Damascus and Southern Triangle Fire Districts. <br /> BACKGROUND: For many years, North Chatham Volunteer Fire Department <br /> has provided fire protection not only to the northern portion of <br /> Chatham County, but also to two rural fire districts established in <br /> Orange County - Damascus and Southern Triangle. In 1991-92, the County <br /> worked with the volunteer fire departments that serve Orange County to <br /> develop a standardized contract for fire service. The 1992 contract <br /> between the County and North Chatham VFD follows the standardized <br /> contract format, with the exception that the North Chatham contract <br /> contains a fixed compensation figure. The annual payment for fire <br /> protection in Damascus and Southern Triangle from the County to North <br /> Chatham is $50,000, less any statutory payments received by the <br /> department from municipalities as a result of municipal annexations <br /> (per paragraph 1 of the 1992 contract) . <br /> North Chatham has requested that the $50,000 figure be increased to <br /> $60,000 effective with the 1994-95 fiscal year. The $50,000 payment <br /> has been in effect since 1988-89, when the North Chatham budget was <br /> $279,260. The proposed North Chatham budget for 1994-95 is $420,973. <br /> The percentage of fire calls to which North Chatham responds in Orange <br /> County out of its total fire call volume is roughly equal to the <br /> percentage of the department's 1994-95 budget that would be funded from <br /> Orange County revenue. <br /> The current tax rate in both the Damascus and Southern Triangle <br /> districts is 3.8 cents per $100 valuation. The requested <br /> contractual change to a $60,000 payment can be accommodated with no <br /> increase in the district tax rates for 1994-95, through the <br /> appropriation in the 1994-95 budget of approximately $5,000 in <br /> accumulated fund balance from these two fire districts. If the Board <br /> elects to approve the North Chatham request, the Manager' s recommended <br /> budget for 1994-95 will incorporate the points noted. <br />
