Memorandum
TO: Mayor and Council CONSENT
Mark McNeill, City Administrator
FROM: Gregg Voxland, Finance Director
SUBJ: Fire Service Contract Hourly fee
DATE: November 24, 2004
Introduction
The hourly fee for service under the Fire Service contracts should be
increased.
Background
The City has fire service contracts with Jackson and Louisville
Townships. Part of the compensation to the city is an hourly service
fee for wages and fuel. The contracts provide that the city may adjust
that fee.
With the pay raise given to firefighters in 2004, the hourly fee should
be increased to cover the increased costs. The current fee is $196 per
hour. Increasing the fee was mentioned at the meeting with the
townships during the budget process.
Alternatives
1. Status Quo
2. Increase fee to $250
3. Increase fee to some other amount
Recommendation
Alternative number 2.
Action
Move to set the hourly fire service fee at $250 effective January 1,
2005.
