to review all necessary documents. In their review, it was determined that a contract between <br />the County of Orange and the City of Mebane for fire protection was needed (note that since <br />1991, Orange County has had contracts in place with each volunteer fire department for the <br />provision of fire protection services to each fire district in Orange County). Because the County <br />had approved the extension of the East Alamance Fire District into Orange County many years <br />ago, Department of Insurance representatives determined that a contract between the County <br />and the City is one of the required documents necessary for the fire district to receive a <br />response rating survey. <br />As noted above, this contract will not change existing fire protection services in the County, The <br />City of Mebane has already approved the contract and the Mayor has signed the contract. <br />FINANCIAL IMPACT: The approval of this contract has no financial impact on the County. <br />Financial arrangements are provided in the contract between the Efland Volunteer Fire <br />Company, Incorporated and the City of Mebane. Efland will continue to pay the City of Mebane <br />for its coverage of this area through fire district taxes levied annually by the BOCC and remitted <br />to the Efland Volunteer Fire Company for that purpose, under its contract with the County. <br />RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends that the Board approve the contract and <br />authorize the Chair to sign it.
