December 11, 2002 <br /> <br />Robert Freeman, Commissioner ! Chairperson <br />Cabarrus County Board of Commissioners <br />Governmental Center <br />65 Church Street SE <br />Concord, NC 28025 <br /> <br />Dear Mr. Freeman, <br /> <br />The Town of Harrisburg is interested in creating a Municipal Fire Service via the existing <br />Harrisburg Volunteer Fire Department...Currently, the Town of Harrisburg contracts with <br />the Harrisburg Volunteer Fire Department for fire services within ibc.Town limits and <br />they in turn contract with the Town for use of our hydrants and water. The creation of a <br />Municipal Fire Service for Harrisburg will enable a local goveming body the ability to <br />make decisions which ultimately impact the quality of life for residents in the Harrisburg <br />community. According to a study conducted in 2001 by Cabarms County, one <br />recommendation directlycorrelated to the creation of five municipal fire districts in <br />Cabarms County. To the best of my knowledge, three of the five districts exist today. <br />ConcOrd, Kannapolis, and Mt. Pleasant all operate a municipal fire service. Harrisburg is <br />willing to become number four. <br /> <br />I would like to request time on the' agenda for the upcoming Board of Commissioners <br />retreat to discuss this matter. I have the full support of the.Town Council in Harrisburg <br />and discussions with the Harrisburg Volunteer Fire Department BOard have indicated <br />their interest in supporting this initiative. <br /> <br />Sincerely, <br /> <br />Mark Martin, Councilman & Public Safety Department Head <br />Town of Harrisburg <br />P.O.
