<br />Settinq the Tax Rate for the Harrisburq Fire Protection District
<br />
<br /> The Board reviewed the request by the Harrisburg Fire District to
<br />increase the District's fire tax from five cents to six cents. Board members
<br />questioned the need for the increase, stating there has been an increase in
<br />the District's tax base.
<br />
<br /> Harrisburg Fire Chief Charles Greene responded to questions by the
<br />Board regarding the department,s salaried personnel, the election and
<br />responsibility of the District's Board of Directors and the size of the
<br />District. He discussed the lack of volunteers to respond to emergency calls
<br />during the day and the need for paid personnel to meet the demand for
<br />services by the District's residents. Without the requested tax increase, he
<br />stated the department would agai~ have to use reserve funds to balance the
<br />budget for the next year.
<br />
<br /> UPON MOTION of Commissioner Barnhart, seconded by Commissioner Privette
<br />and unanimously carried, the Board set the fire tax rate for the Harrisburg
<br />Fire District at five and one-half cents (5~¢) and asked staff over the next
<br />12 months to do a comprehensive analysis of all fire districts in Cabarrus
<br />County to determine what is required for each department to do the job the
<br />way it needs to be done and what can be done so that every citizen in the
<br />county has the same level of service. The study will look at such issues as
<br />response times, capacity, availability of volunteers, the need for paid
<br />personnel, etc.
<br />
