Specific Matters for Discussion and Possible Action by Town Board in Open Session:

 

a.       There was discussion regarding how the town is charging for fire runs.  At the present time a bill is sent by the clerk to property owners receiving the service at the same rate as the town is charged by the Pulaski Tri-County Fire Department.  Town Ordinance 11-10-03 states that the town shall charge the actual cost incurred by the town up to a maximum amount of $500.00 per call or response.  The fire department bills for the actual hours the firemen are at the scene but the bill does not have any charge for use of the fire department equipment.  No decision was made on whether or not to add a sum to the bills for the use of fire department equipment.

 

b.      Chairman Smith stated he was asking for suggestions on what direction to go when the Board of Directors of the Pulaski Tri-County Fire Department discusses the formula for Quarterly Operating Fund payments that are made by the four towns and the Village of Pulaski to the fire department.  The present formula is based on the percentage of the five-year average of fire calls made in each municipality to total calls made by the fire department.  There have been suggestions of basing the percentage each municipality pays based on the equalized valuation or population of the municipalities.  MOTION (Lewis/Powers/PASSED UNANIMOUSLY) to keep the formula for the Quarterly Operating Fund payments the same as it presently is, which means the payments would be based on a five-year average of calls made in each municipality.

 

c.       For the year 2006 the Gold Cross Ambulance Service reported that the per capita payments from the municipalities in N.E.W. Para-Medic Rescue exceeded expenses incurred by $4,581.23.  There was discussion as to whether the per-capita share of this $4,581.23, which would be $634.89, should be paid to the Town of Angelica or if it should be put into the N.E.W. Equipment Fund.  MOTION (Lewis/Powers/ PASSED by Lewis and Powers voting aye and Smith voting nay) that the town’s share of the overpayment of per capita fees be paid back to the Town of Angelica.

 

Adjournment:   MOTION (Powers/Lewis//PASSED) to adjourn the meeting.  The meeting was adjourned at 2:00 p.m.
